A Billionaire After Divorce AREN'T YOU BEING TOO VICIOUS?
"It's just a superficial wound," the taxi driver fibs, unable to bring himself to admit the severity of his injury. Natasha is already worried seeing he is injured. He can't bear to tell her that the injury is actually so deep– too deep that the mere sight of it frightens him. His car interior is stained with his blood, mingled with the alcohol he used to disinfect it."Hmph, who knows if there's even an injury there, or if you're just pretending to be injured? If you're really injured, where are the blood stains? It seems like you're just trying to gain our sympathy!"Anyways, I can't entertain any of you. You damaged my bumper, and you have to compensate me. My car is a Rolls-Royce Dawn worth $500,000, something neither of you can obviously make in a lifetime. I could demand $200,000 for my bumper, but I'll be generous and settle for $100,000. So, which one of you is going to pay up?""You must be high on drugs," Natasha hisses disdainfully. Ah! She hasn't seen someone like Layla
A Billionaire After Divorce BEAT THAT PUNK UP
"Jordan!" Natasha exclaims with a sense of relief, feeling like she's found her savior. Without hesitation, she rushes over to him. "Jordan, you're here!" She grins broadly, her sad face suddenly radiating with happiness.Jordan reciprocates the smile as he assesses the lady in front of him, ensuring she hasn't suffered any injuries. "I just hit my head, but I'm fine," seeing this Natasha quickly assures him, her face flushing a deep shade of red, and her stomach fluttering. Jordan's gaze does to her things she has no words to describe.After confirming that Natasha is truly fine just as she said she is, Jordan turns his attention to the taxi driver. "Sir, are you alright?""Just a superficial wound, but yes, I'm alright," the driver replies, smiling slightly."You, who are you? And what did you mean by what you said to me?" Not being able to tolerate Jordan's actions anymore as she finds them irksome, Layla asks sharply."You don't need to concern yourself with who I am," Jordan re
A Billionaire After Divorce NOT EASY TO MANIPULATE
There is total silence for a while before Layla replies surprisingly calmly, "You indeed can use your fists and feet to get your words to stand. I have to admit that you are quite talented. Something rather unusual, as I had not expected to find such an expert in East Veridora."But then," her expression suddenly turns smug as she sneers, "Don't think you can use those for everyone! I'm a member of the Caden family of Opulence Heights! You can't dare lay your hands on...,"SLAP!Layla is yet to finish speaking when an abrupt slap sends her tumbling to the floor."How dare you slap my niece? Are you..."SLAP!Just like Layla, the young woman is yet to finish her statement when a slap also sends her tumbling to the floor, leaving Natasha and the taxi driver shocked to their bones.Layla and the young woman are members of the prestigious Caden family of Opulence Heights. Although they don't know how powerful the Caden family is over there, the fact that they are from Opulence Heights is
A Billionaire After Divorce IS THAT A THREAT?
Layla and the young woman's expressions are sullen and they desire nothing more than to escape this embarrassing situation they found themselves in. But they know better than to try to leave. The young man in front of them is terrifying and they are acutely aware he would never let them go until he had accomplished his goals. So what's the point of trying?With an air of resignation, Layla audibly sucks her teeth, and stands from the ground, brushing the dirt off her clothes and shooting Jordan a glare as she asks coldly, "What is it that you want to say? We're listening!" If her eyes were a pistol, Jordan would have definitely been shot dead on the spot for reducing her to this state and daring to lay hands on her precious cheek, a cheek that had only known gentle caresses throughout her life.A sinister smile tugs at Jordan's lips at Layla's expression. But he pays little heed to it as he states coolly, "My request is quite simple and something I've said before. If you want to leav
A Billionaire After Divorce A MONSTER
"Uhm," Layla's complexion turns ashen, her face draining of all color. She had thought Jordan was terrifying enough while he was still calm, but now he suddenly exuded a chilling aura, one she had never felt before.If he was a terrifying young man earlier, he is more like a ferocious monster now, albeit a strangely cute one, unlike the ones she had seen in horror movies but even more dangerous than them."I... I didn't mean that," slightly raising her gaze to sneak a peek at Jordan, Layla stammers, shifting from foot to foot. "Who am I to dare say you, your friends, and family would meet the same fate as me? I was just teasing you! I really was!"In the face of Jordan's aura, Layla is so scared out of her wits that she hastily backtracks on her earlier statement. So what if she is a member of the Cadens of Opulence Heights? In the face of this monster, what can that possibly achieve?Especially, since this is his turf, his county while she is only a guest. Guess it is at this moment
A Billionaire After Divorce SLIP OF TONGUE?
Layla is gripped by an overwhelming sense of dread, her heart ricocheting against her chest. The murderous intent emanating from Jordan's eyes is unmistakable. He really has the intention to kill her.But she is still in the bloom of her youth, her life barely beginning, with many dreams left unfulfilled. How can she die?"No," unable to control herself, her legs give way, and she drops to her knees with a resounding thud. She clutches at Jordan's leg, her voice reduced to a helpless whisper. "Please, sir," Layla implores, her eyes filled with desperation. "I'm still so young; I can't bear to die. I beg you to be magnanimous and spare me. I promise you, I'll never dare try to harm your friends or family. I promise."Seeing her usually domineering and proud niece reduced to kneeling and pleading, the young woman is so aggrieved and infuriated. Layla never kneels to anyone, but now she is not only kneeling but also begging. This is such a hard pill to swallow.She sucks her teeth, her f
A Billionaire After Divorce DON'T
"You... What are you talking about?" The young woman stutters, her gaze darting everywhere but at Jordan."I believe you know best what I'm talking about," Jordan sneers."Uhm," she nibbles on her lower lip, retorting while fiddling with her fingers. "Sir, I really don't know what you are talking about. I'm very much lost here. Nevertheless, I never lied to you. All that I said earlier is nothing but the truth. Believe me.""The truth? Believe you?" Jordan scoffs, quite amazed at how at how good she could feign ignorance."Sir, if you have anything in mind, you might as well say it instead of doing this," gritting her teeth, the young woman retorts."Oh?" Jordan chuckles wryly. "In that case, I should ask you, madame, do you think I have a short memory, or did you think you could deceive me?" Jordan can't really understand what made Layla's aunt believe she could lie to him or try to deceive him. Just a while ago, Layla had promised Natasha that she would forget everything if Natasha
A Billionaire After Divorce NO, JORDAN!
Jordan's foot halts midair as he turns to look at Natasha. "What?" He raises a brow."Don't kill her. Please," Natasha implores, staring pleadingly at him."And why shouldn't I?" Jordan furrows his brow, struggling to comprehend why Natasha would plead for the life of someone who had ridiculed her and harbored the intention of killing her."Uhm," Natasha sighs heavily, saying, "I know you are doing this to keep me safe, but what about you? If you kill the young Miss, the Cadens will haunt you for the rest of your life and will never stop until they kill you. I know you're not afraid of being haunted, you are not afraid of anything, but how can you ever have peace again? Is killing her really worth sacrificing your peace? Please don't be rash! Please!""Your friend is right, kind sir; it's not really worth it for you to jeopardize your peace just because you want to kill me. And I promise you once again, if you let me off, I'll never seek revenge against you or your friends and family,"

MY SON
Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me. When Isabella apologized to you, you didn't ask her to get on her knees. Why are you asking me to do that? What are you trying to achieve?""Achieve? Hmph!" Jordan snorts. "I choose how I want anyone to apologize to me. It's late, and I need to leave. Are you apologizing or not?""I can only apologize to you while standing; I'll never kneel to you," Henry grits his teeth."What if I insist?" A menacing aura suddenly bursts out of Jordan, and he grabs Henry's shoulder, applying force."Ah!" Henry cries out, his face distorting. "What are you doing?!" he barks."Kneel!" Jordan bellows, applying more force.THUD!J

GET ON YOUR KNEES
Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened. She can't help feeling bad for asking the question."I'm sorry," she whispers."It's fine," Jordan offers her a small smile. "You did nothing. Let's just continue eating."Back at the hall...Somehow Henry and Isabella has managed to consume a quarter of the order. For an order that took three tables, that in itself is a commendable feat. At this moment, Isabella is sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat.Though there's AC in the room, it's as if nothing is touching her. Her naturally flat tummy appears to have broken its record today as it is now protruding. Beside Isabella, Henry is in a similar state, just that he is gasping so much, almost as if he can't breathe.For the first time, he believes the adage that says wha

I BROKE A BANK
"What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?" Isabella asks, staring at the burly men in confusion."Our general manager instructed us not to let any of you leave until the food and wine on the round table are cleared.""What?" Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir. It doesn't matter who you are, so yes.""Fine, wait until I send for my family guards!" Henry glares at them and reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.However, before he can do anything with it, the phone is swiftly snatched from him."I'm sorry, sir. But that is not allowed. You can only start eating now or remain here even after the resta

NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE
Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this. The Jordan she divorced days ago was just a penniless man, one she and her family saw as a liability, which resulted to the divorce. How did he become so wealthy in the blink of an eye? Is she dreaming?She pinches herself to be sure before staring back at the screen. Seeing the numbers still blatantly visible on big screen, she can't help but inhale sharply.She was not dreaming. It's actually real. Jordan really paid the bills. He actually forked out 2.4 billion! She freezes.For a while, a heavy silence hangs in the air before the room b

WHAT?!
"What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all! Hah, he has no money and he made such a scene. How infuriating.""Well, I'm

GOLD CARD
"Why will I?" Jordan retorts, rolling his eyes. "Please order away! Don't hold back!""Jordan," Natasha, not being able to help it, tugs at his shirt. "They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!" Natasha slams her hand

PLOTTING AGAINST HIM
Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

SCULPTED PALATE
"Let's sit here," finding a table close to the window, Jordan says and draws out a chair, gesturing like a perfect gentleman,"Please sit, My Lady."Natasha rolls her eyes and mouths a soft "thank you" before taking her seat."You are always welcome, My Lady," Jordan smiles and walks over to the other side, also taking his seat."Welcome to Sculpted Palate, one of the best restaurants in East Veridora, dear prestigious customers. "Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

LET'S GO IN
"Mr. Callahan, have you found what it is you forgot? What was it though?" As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot. It's a good thing you decided to allow love blossom between you. "You guys look so good together, almost like a match made in heaven! I can't wait for your wedding invitation!"Jordan stares at Natasha, whose cheeks are now as red as fr
