Hailey Nichol The Oc

I Made A Deal With A Billionaire

She witnessed a murder, he offered a deal. Now they’re both in too deep. Adopted into a wealthy family, Hailey Monroe spent her life trying to earn love in a home that treated her like a burden. Overshadowed by her perfect adoptive sister, Kaira, Hailey agreed to an arranged marriage just to please her family—only to be betrayed in the cruelest way. When Kaira sleeps with Hailey’s husband, Blake, and he throws both Hailey and their son out of the house, her world shatters. Desperate and broke, Hailey becomes a stripper to afford her son’s sudden medical treatments. But everything spirals when she witnesses a murder during one night she was meant to entertain a client—turning her into a target that needed to be eliminated. Rejected again by her family, Hailey stumbles into the path of a stranger after almost being hit by his car, Killian Valtieri, a cold-hearted billionaire desperate for a partner so as to inherit his family’s empire. “Marry me and I’ll protect you,” he offers. Left with no choice, she agrees. But the deal was only the beginning. As enemies close in and buried secrets rise to the surface, Hailey uncovers the shocking truth about her birth—and just how far her enemies are willing to go. However when something more tragic happens, she makes sure everyone pays. And Killian? He may just lose everything to the woman he once thought was disposable. Excerpt; “Give me one more chance, and I promise to treat you right this time,” Blake pleaded while Hailey stared at him in shock. “Come back to me, Hailey. I love you—“ “You don’t!” Hailey snapped. “You just hate the thought of me being happy with Killian. After what you did, how you treated me, you never thought that I would be able to stand back on my feet, did you?” Blake gritted his teeth, unable to deny Hailey was right. “I’m happy with Killian, and I believe you deserve to be with Kaira.” Hailey gave him one last regarding look before she turned to leave but Blake stopped her. “If you can’t be mine…” Hailey halted. “…I won’t let you return to him.” Hailey turned to look at him, and her eyes widened at the gun pointed at her. Before she could say nothing, a bang echoed.

The billionaire’s haunted house

… “One fifty.” I heard someone shout. “One sixty.” Another said immediately. “Two hundred.” “Five hundred thousand dollars.” “Five hundred thousand dollars, going once, going twice, sold.” Cesar announced and everybody clapped. “What was that?” Drego barked. “What?” I blinked, my smile slowly dissipating. “Why did you agree to stand up there? And looking like this for that matter.” I frowned. “Like what?” “Did you enjoy the fact that men were bidding on you like some prost—” My palms flew and landed on Drego’s face before I could understand what I was doing. “You don’t get to judge how I decide to look. Who the hell do you think you are to judge me? I did what I did for charity. You’re my boss, don’t cross any lines.” I turned around to leave. “Wait. Nichole I’m sorry.” He said more calmly. I looked at him again. “Because I told you that I was in love with you doesn’t make it okay for you to get involved in my personal life and decisions.” “It’s not like—” “Don’t worry. The day I quit was my first day getting over you. You don’t have to worry about that crazy talk. I’m over you. And I’ll leave your company the second you find my replacement and you won’t have to see me anymore.” “Nichole please listen—” “Drego, you’re up.” Reid came outside. His expression changed. It was no surprise. The tension between Drego and I was palpable. “Is everything okay?” Reid asked. “Yeah.” I replied. “We are done here.”
