Billionaire Romance Boxed Set 2(4)
In the distance I heard a rumble of thunder and smiled knowing my grandma was watching over me as she had since her death. I knew she’d be proud of all my successes if she had been alive to see them. I also knew she would love Will as much as I did.
Missing her, my eyes filled with tears as they always did when I thought about her too much. I blinked trying to hold the tears back as my vision blurred. After swallowing hard, I forced a smile.
“I’m really no good at this and no one wants to hear a long speech, so really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
The crowd applauded again as I walked off the stage and back to my seat next to Will who hugged me and held out a handkerchief. I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it, making the tears finally flow down my cheeks.
Will gently wiped my tears with the handkerchief then kissed my forehead. Moving closer to me, he put his arm around my shoulders and I leaned into him.
“I’m so proud of you, Deborah. There’s just one small thing.”
“Is something wrong?”
“Yes, there is. You see I have this suit that needs to be tailored and I’m still waiting for you to show me that new method of measuring my inseam.”
He grinned that same lopsided knowing grin from the first day we met. His eyes twinkled mischievously and I laughed surprised he remembered that. I had to be the luckiest woman alive. Not only did I have my dream job, but I had my very own Mr. Sexy who wanted to be with me forever.

I MARRIED A BILLIONAIRE

Chapter One
When your billionaire boss’s attorney contacts you out of the blue, your first instinct is to assume something is horribly wrong and that you’re about to pay the price. I still remember the way my throat tightened, the sweat on my palms - what was it about? I was sure I’d done nothing wrong, but if Mr. Thorne decided I had, there wasn’t much recourse.
My boss was notoriously difficult to work for. Thankfully, I rarely saw him. At most he was a vaguely menacing presence in the corner of my eye; a whiff of expensive cologne as he passed by my desk. To him I was surely no more than a line on the payroll sheets that he blindly signed every quarter; I wasn’t even confident that he knew my name.
And I liked it that way. I’d had overinvolved, micromanaging bosses before, and I much preferred a cold distant figure that I didn’t even have to speak to. I worked hard - I didn’t need someone hanging over my shoulder to make sure I was doing everything right.
As one of the graphic designers, I reported directly to Lisa, the head of Creative. She was pleasant enough, but I’d never gotten any feedback from her other than a nod of acknowledgement when I showed her my mockups and designs. Quite a few of them made it onto marketing and training materials, so I assumed Mr. Thorne liked my work.
So when a man approached me in the hallway and introduced himself as Mr. Thorne’s attorney, the only thought that popped into my head was that I had somehow unwittingly committed copyright or trademark infringement, costing the company millions of dollars, and I would be fired on the spot. Or perhaps I’d accidentally incorporated something obscene into one of my designs…
