The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Brittany had a board meeting and couldn’t make it to the airport.

Derek Bishop did.

After picking up Isaac, Derek handed him a bottle of water as they got into the car. “Take a swig, you look beat.”

Marcel had clawed his way to the top of Grandeur Capital through some shady maneuvers, stirring up quite a bit of dissent.

In terms of skill, Marcel wasn’t lacking. But compared to Isaac, he didn’t stand a chance. The shareholders, spoiled by the hefty profits Isaac had brought in, had developed quite the appetite.
