It was their last day on the island.As the first rays of sunlight gently streamed through the curtains, Billion stirred from his sleep, his eyes slowly fluttering open. Beside him, Joy was still peacefully asleep.With a tender smile, Billion leaned over and brushed a strand of hair from her face, whispering her name softly."Joy," he murmured, his voice warm with affection. "Wake up, sleepyhead."Joy stirred, her eyes blinking open as she greeted Billion with a soft smile. "Good morning," she murmured, stretching lazily.They exchanged sweet morning greetings. As they reminisced about the previous day's adventures, their laughter filled the room. Then, they spoke fondly of Mason."He was so mature for his age," Billion remarked, a hint of sadness in his voice. "It's hard to imagine what he must have gone through, losing his father at such a young age."Joy nodded, her expression thoughtful. "I know. It's incredible how resilient he is, taking care of his family like that."“We need
Joy's heels clicked on the floor with each confident step. Andrew and her had their expressions determined and focused. As they got closer to Andrew's office, the air felt thick with anticipation.Andrew turned to joy and asked, "How do you think the Harveys will take the news?"Joy's brow furrowed slightly as she considered the question. "I think Mrs. Harvey will be the most affected. She's always been the face of the family's reputation, so any tarnish on that image will hit her hard. Chris, on the other hand, will likely be hurting to see his mother upset. As for Mr. Harvey, he may not react as strongly as his wife, but he'll definitely feel the impact."Soon, they approached the door to Andrew's office, exchanging a quick glance before Andrew turned the handle and they stepped inside. As they entered, they were met with a tense atmosphere that hung heavy in the air.Seated in the room were Charity, Chris, and Mr. Harvey. Their expressions were stern, their demeanor serious, leavin
Mrs. Harvey's eyes widened in disbelief, her hand trembling as it reached for her husband's arm. Chris's shoulders slumped, his confidence shattered Mr. Harvey's expression darkened with a mix of anger and resignation, realizing their fate was sealed by Billion Boulevard's cunning plan. They exchanged silent glances, each mirroring the other's sense of defeat, as the reality of their situation sank in. With heavy hearts, they understood they had walked straight into the jaws of a predator, their hopes dashed against the cold reality of their impending arrest.Chris turned to Joy, his voice trembling with hurt and betrayal. "How could you do this to me, Joy?" he asked, the pain evident in his tone. "I thought you reached out to me because you wanted us to be friends."Joy's expression twisted with disgust as she met Chris's gaze. "Friends?" she scoffed. "You and your family are wicked. You have no morals." She shook her head in disdain. "I could never be friends with someone who slee
Billion's expression softened as he motioned for Joy to approach him. "Come here," he said in a low, seductive tone, his eyes smoldering with desire.With a playful smile, Joy walked up to him, drawn by the magnetic pull of their connection. As their lips met in a passionate kiss, the world around them faded away, leaving only the electric spark of their chemistry igniting the air.Their embrace deepened, their bodies entwined in a dance of desire as they surrendered to the intoxicating heat of their passion. In the dim light of the office, they made love with a fierce intensity, each moment a testament to the unbridled passion between them.Afterwards, as they lay in each other's arms, their breathing slowing to a steady rhythm, a sense of contentment washed over them. Wrapped in the warmth of their embrace, they shared whispered words of affection and promises for the future, knowing that together, they were unstoppable.Joy gently brushed her fingers against Billion's cheek, a soft
*THREE MONTHS LATER*Billion stirred from his slumber, the soft rays of dawn gently nudging him awake. The silence of the neighborhood enveloped him, a stark contrast to the former house he and his father had moved from. With a languid stretch, he rose from his bed, his movements fluid and graceful.Stepping to the window, Billion parted the curtains, revealing a serene scene outside. The tranquil streets lay quiet under the early morning haze. Lost in thought, he lingered by the window, savoring the stillness of the moment.Deciding to indulge in the luxury of a leisurely morning, Billion strolled into his bathroom. The sleek tiles and polished surfaces greeted him as he entered, the air heavy with the scent of his favorite shower gel. With practiced ease, he adjusted the temperature of the water, relishing the warmth as it cascaded over his skin.Emerging from the shower, droplets glistening on his toned physique, Billion wrapped himself in a plush towel. The hours spent in the gym
Billion sat at his desk, documents spread before him.Suddenly, the door creaked open, and in walked Joy. A smile lit up Billion's face as he rose to greet her and they shared a tender kiss."What's on the agenda for today?" Billion inquired.With a gentle nod, Joy began to update him. "You have three meetings lined up, darling. The first one is set to start in just two minutes."Billion's brow furrowed. "And who might I have the pleasure of meeting first?" he asked, already bracing himself for the day ahead.With a knowing smile, Joy replied, "It's Mrs. Dorathy."At the mention of the name, a weary expression crossed Billion's face. "Not her again," he muttered under his breath. "I don't have the patience for her today."A soft chuckle escaped Joy's lips as she reached out to reassure him. "Don't worry, love. I'll be praying for you," she teased.Before Billion could respond, there was a knock on the door. With a graceful stride, Joy crossed the room and opened the door, greeting Mrs
A week later, it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Billion and Andrew were in the study discussing about Andrew’s plan to expand one of their branches.“So, how exactly do you intend to go about it?" Billion asked."Well, I've written to the board of directors, I proposed the expansion of our business into new territories.

Joy listened quietly as Billion spoke, he was explaining Andrew's plan for Victor Grey to her, after he was done, she spoke up, "Well, I hope this plan doesn't backfire. Victor will definitely be more cautious after what happened with his allies.""We'll also be extra cautious, we have our eyes on him, there's nothing he can do to catch us off guard." Billion said."Alright, I trust you and Andrew. I'll do my part as well, even though I can't stand that man." Joy said."This will all be over soon, my love." Billion said and hung up.Joy took in a deep breath, she would need to polish her acting skills. Victor Grey was going to fall into a pit which he himself would dig.…Weeks later "It's finally done! We finally have our own bakery" Jasmine Chapman said excitedly.The Chapman's, together with Billion and Joy were standing inside the new and fully equipped "Chapman Bakery"The Chapman's had taken Joy in when her parents had died, as a way of repayment, Billion decided to open a b
