Chapter 1 A Crazy Idea.

Diana and Mitchell had been best friends since high school and had basically gone through the worst and best in life by each other's side. Now at the age of 23 since they were both age mates, they were at that stage in life where they wanted to get their lives in order. Both were single and had gone through the system of education graduating with first class honors in university. Diana had a degree in marketing while Mitchell had one in catering and hotel management.

Diana worked at one of the companies in town as their marketing strategist and Mitchell worked as a hotel manager in town, both jobs had good pay and they rented an apartment together so that they could split the expenses and be able to save up the extra money for future endeavors. As they sat in the living room of their two bedroom apartment that they rented, they watched TV while surfing social media sites just to catch up with the modern world

"Look at this" Mitchell said to Diana as she showed her an update from one of the gossip groups.

"What are-- it says tech billionaire brings his company into town as he wants to invest and create more job opportunities in our town " Diana said as she read the post." Hmm, I didn't know that we are going to have a billionaire in town "

" Are you thinking what I'm thinking? " Mitchell teased

" What now? " Diana asked. She knew that Mitchell had some of the craziest ideas and was ready to hear what she had to say now

"I say, we try to get this billionaire to date one of us. I mean he could be the solution that we have been looking for. Can you imagine having a billionaire boyfriend?" Mitchell asked

" I knew you were going to say something like that. First of all, nowhere in that post does it mention the billionaire neither does it show his picture. And isn't Global Tech one of the few companies whose owner is not known to the public? " Diana asked for clarification as she tried to reason with Mitchell," Besides, what if he's a seventy year old man? "

" Old guy I can work with, as long as he pays my bills and spoils me like the gem I am. And who says we can't dig up and know the identity of the billionaire? Can't be that hard, we can use our feminine side to get what we want"

" Oh my God. You are definitely giving me gold digger vibes right now. Okay, I can work with that. So you want to tell me, you think there aren't other girls out there who have had the same thought? " Diana asked

" Ok, don't you dare judge me. I'm young and I need money " Mitchell said with a bougie voice," and the difference between us and those other girls is that we are going to actually act on our plan instead of just thinking it through. So are you with me or not? " She asked Diana

" I don't know Mitch" Diana answered unsure of what to think of the idea

"Come on, what if he's a young rich billionaire who happens to be single?" Mitchell asked

" Why is it that people always think that billionaires don't have girlfriends or wives? " Diana asked

" Uuhm haven't you read every other book that has a billionaire? Most of them don't want to get attached to someone or they just have a cold heart " Mitchell answered

" And what if this rich billionaire has a cold heart? " Diana asked

" Well every cold heart just needs some warmth and eventually it'll melt" Mitchell asked

" You sound so sure. Maybe his heart is just too cold to melt" Diana said as she tried to discourage her best friend a little bit

"Stop being a negative Nancy and at least give some back up on this. If you don't and I become successful, don't come looking for me when you want some money" Mitchell teased

They sat together and surfed through the updates trying to get some more information about the billionaire despite Diana trying to avoid the whole topic but to no avail. Mitchell made sure that Diana helped her with stalking every activity of Global Tech to see any loopholes that would suggest who the billionaire is. According to all that they could find was that the company mainly invested in activities that involved people who were considered as the young generation from the ages of somewhere 18 to late 30s,therefore, they concluded that the billionaire was possibly around this age bracket. This excited Mitchell even more as she saw that the had an actual opportunity to find the man who was still young and would not be considered as too old for her. Diana just helped her best friend since she knew the chances of her actually getting the billionaire were slim to none. Upon further poking around, they found out that Global Tech was seeking to hire new people for their new building in town.

"Yes, finally! An opportunity" Mitchell said as she waved her phone in front of Diana's face. When Diana read the story carefully and started laughing

"I think you should read that story more carefully" Diana said with a smirk. When she read the post carefully, her joy suddenly turned into disappointment when she realized that the only job openings were in the marketing department. After a short tantrum, Mitchell had an idea and Diana could see it on her face

"What's that look for?" Diana asked

"I just had the craziest idea" she answered

" Oh no, if it's what I'm thinking, I'm not going to do it. There's no way I'm going to be your inside woman in that company. I already have a job" Diana said the moment she knew what Mitchell had in mind

"I'm sure it doesn't pay as much as this would pay" Mitchell reasoned

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What's worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn't thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn't seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he's different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
