Falling for the Billionaire Chapter 1 What the hell are you doing here

"Look who's here!" I announced my arrival and stepped into what I assumed was the bride's room.

However my smile wavered away as soon as I saw the sight of the room and a weeping Lindsay, my dear friend, in the middle of it.

A worried frown occupied her face when she first looked toward the direction I walked in from, but soon recovered when she realized that it was me.

"Lindsay, what's wrong?" I asked as I rushed to her. Her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

"I'm so glad you came," Lindsay spoke through her wobbling lips. "I really needed you."

"Tell me what the matter is." I spoke impatiently. "And why is there no one here? And where is the wedding happening?"

"In the backyard." She wobbled. "Skylar, I don't want to get married."

I was not surprised.

When she called me a couple of weeks ago saying she was going to get married to someone, I was taken aback. It came out of nowhere, and I could decipher from the tone of her voice that she wasn't happy with it.

I was aware that Lindsay's father has a better say in her matters pertaining to her personal life than she does. Everything was a matter of business to him and Lindsay has warned me several years ago that she would have to marry somebody her father chooses for her. And worst of all, that she has very little choice in the matter, if not nothing.

"I begged my father not to do this, I told him I was in love with someone else. That's why he called for the wedding early." She said, wiping her eyes with her hands. "Skylar, I don't love him. He isn't the one for me. I love someone else."

"Lindsay," I said, trying to cool her down. "If you stay here any longer, people will come looking for you. So it's better if you call your father and explain it to him before things get out of hand."

"I'm not going out there." She said, removing my hands from her shoulders. "I'm not going to get married to someone I don't love."

"I'm not asking you to get married. I'm asking you to discuss it with-"

"I'm going to run away."

My jaw almost dropped on the floor when she said that. "What?"

"I don't have a choice." She said, "Please Skylar, you need to help me."

"I can't let you make a mistake you'll regret for life." I said, trying to shake some sense into her.

"I'm not going to regret it."

"You will." I said. "Do you think running away solves the problem? It's just a temporary escape!"

"Skylar, I'm already in love with someone else. Do you think my father will listen to the end of it?

He will force my hand in marriage and Parker will gladly take it."

I sighed and shook my head. This was classic Lindsay. Always running away from problems, always taking the easier route. It was one of the things I hated about her, but she was my friend, and she didn't need a harsh reality check right now.

"What do you think I've been doing for the past month? I begged Parker too, but he was too arrogant to even consider my feelings. He wants this business deal as much as I want."

"But there are so many guests here. So many close friends and business associates of both the families are here. It's going to be humiliating once things simmer down. I urge you to handle this with more dignity."

"I don't care." She said, "Maybe my father deserves the humiliation he's going to get after I run away."

Right then, we heard footsteps trailing towards us. Lindsay widened her eyes at me, panicking. "Skylar, they're coming for me."

I reeled in a deep breath, "You should-"

"Please help me run away." She said, "Please Skylar, it's my life."

"Lindsay!" Someone knocked on the door. Thank god I locked it when I entered.

"I have to go. I have a friend waiting for me outside. Please, help me, I need to go. I swear I'll handle this mess later."

The desperation that I found in her eyes was unmatched. I never saw her like this before. In the wake of it, I realized that I was perhaps underplaying the gravity of the situation. I was only slowly grasping onto the consequences of her staying behind. I could only imagine the kind of power her father yields, and judging by her present state, I was understanding where she was coming from. If her fear is indeed justified, what kind of friend would I be if I ruined her life when I could do something about it?

"Alright," I said, defeated. "I'll cover up for you."

A relieved smile broke on her lips, but she knew that time was running short. She had to hurry, and she couldn't afford a proper farewell. "Thank you so much, Skylar. I will never forget this."

I nodded and watched her leave through the windows. I didn't know how she was going to escape from all the security. The pounding on the door grew harder as I hurried to the windows.

I was taken aback as the door blasted open. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I turned around.

My breath hitched in my throat when I looked at the man before me. The same grey eyes, but this time, they grew darker than ever.

It almost felt like a dream.

Everything that happened seven years ago just came crashing into my mind like it just happened yesterday. Just one glance at him stirred those deep buried emotions to come back to the surface. I remained rooted in my place, unmoving.

"Ethan." I croaked, frozen.

It was seven years ago that I last saw the former love of my life. Ethan. He was my first love, of course. And also my only love.

"Skylar?" His otherwise warm eyes, that had always reminded me of how much he loved me, had turned intolerably dark. Visibly paled, he breathed out in disbelief. "What the hell are you doing here?"

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.
