Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 76 "Khloe, how long are you going to keep this up? It's been days. Are you really giving me the silent treatment forever?" The call finally connected, and Trey's voice was sharp, laced with impatience. Nick's expression darkened instantly. Khloe was about to be his wife, yet this man spoke to her as if she were a child throwing a tantrum. 11 Hearing only silence, Trey's tone softened slightly, assuming she was just being stubborn. "Khloe, baby, you know you're the most important thing to me. Even when you're being unreasonable, I always find a way to make it work. Where are you?

Let me come get you...' 11 He was prideful and really didn't want to be the one to give in first. But with her team in disarray and rumors of her departure sparking a talent drain at the company, only her return could steady the ship. "She's busy." Before Trey could finish, a cold male voice cut in. Just two words. But they carried a chill so sharp it was palpable even over the phone. Trey froze, his grip on the phone tightening. After a few stunned seconds, he barked into the receiver, "Who is this? Where's Khloe?

Put her on the phone!" "You don't get to ask." The line went dead as Nick hung up. He then powered the phone off completely. On the other end, Trey stared at his phone, the call failed screen staring back at him. A wave of pure rage washed over him, and he slammed his fist onto his desk, sending everything toppling. The noise startled Angela, who had just walked into the office. "Trey, what in the world?" She hurried over and saw his phone in his hand, dialling Khloe again. She hadn't told him about seeing Khloe at the investment firm yesterday, afraid he'd drop everything to confront her.

It seemed her fear was justified. "Trey, are you still coddling her? I don't believe we can't manage the company without her!" "You're damn right we can't! The whole place is falling apart without Khloe!" Trey shouted, his fury boiling over. The memory of that unknown male voice on the phone sent a fresh jolt of anger through him. He wasn't sure if he was more furious about the company's instability or the idea of another man with his Khloe. "Get a grip, Trey!" Angela's voice rose to match his, but he was past listening.

He took a few ragged breaths before kicking the nearby trash can with a violent crack. "I miscalculated," he growled, his voice hoarse. "Khloe... is with another man." His voice was hoarse, raw, a mix of anger and disbelief. Angela was taken aback. She'd seen Khloe just yesterday-she was alone and completely focused on her work. 1/2 Chapter 76 +25 Bonus Trey knew Khloe; there was no way her feelings could have changed that fast. Yet, he also knew that with Khloe's looks and sharp mind, men were always circling. Back in university, guys from powerful families had pursued her.

Trey had gotten there first, and she had always been fiercely loyal, never giving anyone else a second glance. The idea of it happening now seemed impossible. "She's always had men looking at her," Angela said dryly, trying to downplay it. "She knows how to handle herself..." But she didn't want to push Trey over the edge. She switched tactics, her voice coaxing. "Think about it logically. Can she really walk away from you? I don't buy it. This is just a power play. She's trying to get under your skin." Khloe had been ignoring his calls for days.

Now that she finally "answered," and he immediately assumes there's another man? She's smarter than that. Angela's words eased the tightest coil of tension in his chest. "Fine... if that's what it takes, we'll meet her terms," he muttered after a moment, his voice heavy with resignation. "As a partner, she's contributed more than anyone. She deserves a payout. It's better than her refusing to come back at all." Once she was back under his roof, he could find out exactly who that guy was. "Don't you dare give in. First, it's one demand, then two, then three... What did your mother always say?

'Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile." Even though Angela couldn't stand Stella, when it came to putting Khloe in her place, she was more than happy to side with her. 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
