THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 31: Regret
Gibson awoke early the next morning, his gaze drifting towards Lina's peaceful form lying beside him, lost in slumber. He couldn't help but admire her serene beauty, a sight that had captivated him countless times before. Yet, as he studied her delicate features, an unexpected pang of regret washed over him, clouding his thoughts.The weight of his actions settled upon him, as if a veil of guilt descended upon his conscience. Self-doubt crept in, whispering doubts and casting shadows on the vulnerability they had shared. "I shouldn't have done this. This was a mistake," Gibson muttered to himself, the remorse evident in his tone.Swiftly, he moved to gather his clothes, the urgency in his movements betraying his inner turmoil. His determination to distance himself from the situation and escape the twinges of regret fueled his haste. Gibson made his way towards the door, his mind consumed by the desire to put distance between them and reclaim a sense of clarity.However, just as Gibson

THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 33: Shock
As Gibson observed the unfolding events, a profound sadness settled within him. The way his ex-wife treated him, as though he were nothing more than a disposable object, stung deeply. The judgment was clear in her eyes, fueled by the perception that he had no wealth or financial stability.With a heavy heart, Gibson remained seated, silently bearing witness to the unfolding scene. His eyes followed the security personnel as they approached him, their arrival prompted by Cynthia and Jonah's call for his removal. The weight of their words echoed in his mind as he braced himself for the encounter."This young man right here is not supposed to be here," the security personnel asserted, their words laden with assumptions and prejudice. They reinforced the false notion that Gibson was deemed unworthy of occupying such a space, insinuating that his financial status precluded him from affording the privileges that the VIP area offered.In that moment, Gibson felt a mix of emotions swirl withi
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 34: Revelation
Cynthia's mind swirled with a whirlwind of thoughts and questions. The utterance of "Fernandez" by the police officer continued to echo in her consciousness, leaving her grasping for understanding. How could Lina, the woman seated beside Gibson, be connected to the prestigious Fernandez family? It was a riddle she struggled to unravel.In her quest for answers, Cynthia turned to Jonah, her voice lowered to a whisper. "Did you hear what the police officer just called her?" she inquired, her eyes darting between Jonah and Lina, as if seeking confirmation of the bewildering revelation.Jonah, mirroring Cynthia's confusion, responded with a perplexed tone. "Yeah, what's up with that?" he mused, his brows furrowed in contemplation. The unexpected turn of ev
THE Dragon Billionaire Chapter 35: Truth
Cynthia's laughter echoed through the stadium, the sound blending with the cheers of the crowd. The thought of Lina being part of the esteemed Fernandez family seemed preposterous to her. She dismissed it as a jest, unable to fathom the possibility."You're joking, right?" Cynthia exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief. Seeking confirmation, she turned to Jonah, as if seeking solace in his agreement. "She must be joking," Cynthia reiterated, desperately grasping onto the hope that this revelation was merely a playful prank.Gibson, quick to seize the opportunity, gestured subtly to Lina, silently urging her to go along with the pretense. It was a chance to diffuse the tension and return to the comfort of their familiar dynamics. However, Lina remained resolute, unyielding to the pressure of playacting."No, I am not joking," Lina responded, her voice steady and unwavering. The weight of her words hung in the air, casting a pall over the previously lighthearted atmosphere. Cynthia'

Chapter 202: Jeopardy
Gibson sat beside his mother who came to drive him back from work. She was waiting for her husband when they got home from a long case which had taken up most of the afternoon. He’d finished at three and would be taking a nap. The day was hot but sunny, and he was glad that he didn’t have to stay in uniform. His dark brown suit and tie had seen better days, but he liked it well enough because it gave him a nice look, unlike other officers whose uniform made them feel like they were going to go postal. He felt relaxed as he sat in his truck with the AC blasting full blast. It was almost too hot out. Not that anything bad could happen to him, he knew there were a lot of things worse than being a policeman. In fact, the more dangerous jobs tended to fall into the hands of the very few people capable of doing the job right. They couldn’t afford someone else. That’s how it worked.His father worked undercover with some pretty scary looking characters. But that wasn’t unusual. People did

Chapter 201: Eyes Closed
‘If I had been faster maybe he would still be alive’“Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me that he’s part of this?” she asked angrily.He could feel his throat tightening again. He hadn't realised how badly he needed to talk to someone but he couldn’t bring himself to tell Abby the truth. The more he talked about what had happened the more convinced he became that he should tell her. She deserved to know the truth, no matter how painful and difficult it might be. And besides, it would probably help her work things out. It would probably help everyone if Abby knew the whole story. He sighed deeply, knowing it was going to hurt her but hoping she'd listen anyway."I didn't want to scare you" he admitted softly.She shook her head violently, getting angry

Chapter 200: Time always tells
“Hi Gibbs! Have you seen Joseph? I've tried to get hold of him but he is ignoring my call!” She exclaimed, hurrying toward him.Jacob simply rolled his eyes. “Noticed. He has been acting strangely lately.” He replied, staring at his cellphone.Abby shrugged slightly. “Maybe he got a call and forgot to reply?” She suggested, wondering why the younger agent hadn't answered her message, although that couldn't have been it. They were both supposed to meet up together today and he clearly had no idea.“That doesn't seem like it. He said something about meeting me here at seven and yet he didn’t show up until nearly six thirty and we left the FBI Building at five forty five” he explained.Abby thought about what Jacob had said and made a mental note to ask Tim a

Chapter 199: I have to tell you
Gibson left his office very early that night and decided to go out to dinner with a friend. It was something he always did when the day started to drag on and it was still relatively new for him. He wasn't used to working long hours and so he enjoyed being able to go out without any work in tow. Plus, his friend could be a bit of an eccentric and they had never gotten along too well but they also understood each other. And since his best friend was a journalist and his own editor, their friendship worked like a magnet.He went to his usual restaurant and picked a spot near the window because it looked out over a small garden. There were few people milling around outside and most lights inside were off. This made it easy for him to sit with his back against the wall and enjoy his meal before heading home. As he ate he saw two young ladies approach one another and start talking animatedly while giggling about whatever. He smiled to himself as he continued chewing, watching them with amu

Chapter 198: Surpassed it
Gibson's voice echoed through the office as he stared at his mother, a mix of surprise and confusion on his face. Colleagues turned to see what the commotion was about, creating an awkward silence. His mother, wearing a hesitant smile, approached him, breaking the tension in the air. "Surprise, dear. I thought I'd drop by and see where you spend your days," she said, trying to lighten the mood. Gibson, still processing the unexpected encounter, struggled to find words in the midst of the curious gazes around him.Gibson, still grappling with the shock, managed to stammer out a response, "I... What are you doing here, Mom? I didn't expect you to visit my workplace."His mother, a middle-aged woman with a warm demeanor, chuckled nervously. "Well, I wanted to surprise you, dear. Your father and I thought it would be nice to see where our hardworking son spends most of his time."Gibson's mind raced as he tried to comprehend the situation. He never imagined his mother would appear unannou

Chapter 197: Make a man
Gibson couldn’t feel his arms again as he had over used them at the his workplace earlier that day. He had tried to carry a huge amount of paperwork for his boss’s office when he had gotten home, but it had been too much, and had dropped everything. The paper had made little to no dent in his overall mass, so he’d put on a shirt to protect it from the cold of the night. When it started to rain while he was on his way back to the office, however, he had lost all hope of getting the papers back to his boss before the storm began. So here he was again. He sighed and walked around the corner of an apartment building with no door visible, trying to get some cover from the rain by leaning against one of its walls. It seemed like the right decision, however, as he could see that the entrance to the apartment building was only five feet away, so it was just about possible for him to get inside without the water being wet through. He pushed off from the wall and started walking towards the ent

Chapter 196: Wine is good
“I want to speak to Gibson,” the light skinned lady said sternly as she entered the office, her voice low and dangerous. It was not a question, it was an order, and the man at the desk knew better than to disobey it. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed Gibson’s number. The woman waited impatiently as he tried to connect the two calls, and when that failed, she turned to face him expectantly. Her face was hard and determined and made her eyes look darker than they normally would. She had dark circles under her eyes that made them seem bruised. Her lips were pressed tightly together, her hands clasped behind her back. She looked like someone who was about to get her way, which was probably true. She stood there looking intimidating until Gibson answered his cell, “Yes? Is everything alright?” His voice sounded worried and confused, and the woman felt a pang of guilt for scaring him with what she had been going to say earlier. “Hi Gibson, it’s me. I just... need a little help to

Chapter 194: Lazy Sections
Gibson read through the book he found on his office desk and grimaced at it. There was no reason to be upset about it, really, but he couldn’t help himself - he had been doing so well with this one! He had made a decent dent in his stack of files, he even had written half of what he needed for the article, which meant that he had to do something else soon! It wasn’t like him to let things drag out like this, but after last night - well, if there was anything that could get the better of him, it was stress, and stress sucked. He should have known better than to get distracted by that guy’s phone number, though! He didn’t deserve the chance, not when Gibson was just beginning to work his way up. But it was all gone now. He had forgotten the date, and he could barely remember any details from before he went home last night, and the only time he had remembered them was during the day. And then, well, then there were all those people who were still in his head - the ones who kept talking

Chapter 193: I’ll try and sing along
Gibson was forced to sing along at his business tea party. The woman he was with was a big fan and the song seemed appropriate enough that she started humming it loudly as they talked about her latest book. He couldn’t help but be envious of this person, this girl who knew so many interesting things and had such an exciting life, yet he was stuck here in the boring office of a company that made no money. He wasn’t complaining though - the pay sucked ass and being alone in the room with his boss all day was probably worse - but that didn’t mean he was happy about it. The woman continued to hum and sing, which annoyed him even more, and eventually she looked up and smiled when she realized what she was doing. “Oh, sorry! I keep singing! I do this sometimes to help myself think. I have trouble not singing if I can't talk to someone. It helps my brain to get away from reality.” She paused for a second, seemingly lost in thought before she shook herself out of it. “Sorry you have to list
