Tiana thought she had risen to the top and no longer needed her poor husband – Jalen. Jalen is humiliated, divorced and kicked out of the house. As if to stamp the final seal, Tiana pulls out a check from her purse. She extends it towards him. “Three million dollars,” she said. “For everything. Take it and leave.” But fate has a different story install for her. She doesn’t know her so-called poor husband is a secret billionaire; the one who secretly pushed her to the level she is now. After casting Jalen away, life begins to happen; life handed her a bitter dose of reality. Now struggling to keep her company, Black Blossom, afloat, she finds herself standing in front of the one man she never imagined she’d see again... her ex-husband, now a powerful billionaire. “How are you the president of this company?” she whispered, eyes wide. Jalen’s lips curved. “You left me broken. Now you’re here for crumbs.” Old wounds reopen. Pride clashes with regret. But what happens when the tables turn and the man she once walked away from now holds the key to her breakthrough?

Chapter 1: A Floor Too Clean for Love
“Take this, gold-digger!” Nina said with finality. “Sign them and get the hell out of our house!”Jalen Adesina knelt quietly in the centre of the expansive living room, a damp mop in hand, his brows pulled together in focused concentration.The marble tiles beneath him shimmered under the sunlight pouring in from the large glass windows. He moved carefully, making sure not to miss a single corner. This wasn’t just cleaning for him; it was pride. After all, he had promised himself that no matter what, their home would always reflect peace and order.The house was silent, the kind of silence that brings comfort when everything feels right. But that peace was short-lived.The sudden click of high heels echoed through the corridor, growing louder and closer. Jalen’s head snapped up instinctively. He had just finished cleaning that side of the room, and the last thing he wanted was muddy prints ruining his work.But it wasn’t the shoes that unsettled him; it was the person wearing them.N

Underrated Secret Billionaire Chapter 15: A Quiet Place in His Heart
It was six minutes past 6PM when Sonia arrived at Orion Hotel. The last trace of sunlight was slipping beneath the skyline, leaving a soft amber glow on the walls of the tall buildings around.As she stepped into the hotel lobby, a quiet breeze followed her in, carrying her perfume gently into the air.Most of the staff had already closed for the day. The bright smiles of the day-shift workers had given way to the calm faces of the night shift. The atmosphere was quieter now, more intimate.She walked toward the reception desk, heels tapping lightly on the marble. “Good evening. I’m here to see Mr. Adesina,” she said softly.The receptionist looked up with a pleasant smile. “Yes, ma’am. He’s expecting you.” She pointed towards the elevator. “Top floor.”Sonia nodded politely and made her way to the lift.As the doors closed, she found herself glancing around, her heartwarming with every detail she noticed. The design. The finish. The elegance of the place.She knew Jalen was wealthy,

Tiana drove away from Orion Hotel like someone escaping from a battlefield. Her hands gripped the steering so tight that her knuckles turned pale.The air conditioner was blowing softly, but it couldn’t calm the fire burning inside her. Regret pressed heavily against her chest, like a boulder that wouldn’t move.She had walked into the hotel with pride in her steps, carrying her proposal file like a weapon. But she had come out stripped, emotionally naked and humiliated.She thought she was going to meet the President of Orion. She had met her past. And her past wasn’t just alive, it was richer, stronger, and untouchable.It was Jalen.The name alone made her head spin.Her ex-husband was not only the CEO of Orion Hotel, he was the owner. The same man she had once tossed aside with scorn now sat above rooms filled with men like Carlos.It didn’t feel real. It couldn’t be real.For thought shifted to what Jalen said about Carlos.Was he right about that? Did Carlos actually lied about

The elevator hummed to a gentle stop at the tenth floor. Tiana’s breath was shallow, her fingers nervously clutching the strap of her purse.The security guard stepped out first and motioned for her to follow.They walked through a tastefully lit hallway, the walls adorned with hand-painted art and golden wall lamps that cast a warm glow.They stopped before a large, glossy mahogany door. On the glass panel was a bold inscription: CEO’s Office.The guard pressed a button at the side. A low buzz sounded, and the door opened slowly.Inside was a grand space; high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the skyline, and a quiet authority that blanketed everything.Directly opposite the door sat a man behind a massive desk, facing the tall glass window, his back turned.The security bowed slightly. “You may go in now, ma. He’s waiting.”Tiana gave a brief nod and stepped inside. The door closed behind her with a soft click.She swallowed and greeted the man ahead. “Good afternoon,

The morning sun danced lazily through the high windows of the Brooks’ residence, bathing the living room in a golden calm.Tiana sat on the edge of the couch, her voice was rich with pride as she gestured animatedly while speaking. Her mother, Evelyn, listened from the armchair with a glass of juice in hand, nodding slowly, her interest piqued.“I’m telling you, mummy,” Tiana said, her face glowing, “just one call. One call to Carlos’s father and everything turned around. You should’ve seen how the Torres board changed their tone last night. One moment my company was blacklisted, the next it was reinstated like nothing ever happened.”Evelyn chuckled, her eyes lighting with approval. “You see why I said you should stay close to people with influence? Men like Carlos know how the world works. He is not like that glorified cleaner you called husband. I’m proud of you, my daughter.”Tiana smiled, basking in her mother’s praise. She felt accomplished again; like her world was returning to

The moment the President of Orion Hotel stepped forward, the entire lobby collapsed into stunned silence. It wasn’t just quiet, it was reverent. The kind of silence that sweeps through a funeral just before the final rites.The air shifted. Even the mockers; the bloated guest still puffing from laughter, the sequined woman still smirking at her own joke, the frozen receptionist, and the now-pale manager; all stilled mid-motion.Lights from phone cameras glinted across the marble floor like broken stars. Some were still recording, others discreetly lowered their devices, suddenly unsure of the drama unfolding before them.The President walked past the crowd with measured grace. His black Italian shoes tapped with authority against the polished floor. He didn’t glance at anyone else; not the guards, not the staff, not even the guests.His eyes locked only on Jalen, steady, unwavering. He didn’t bow. He didn’t smile. But the weight in his posture spoke volumes. It was the kind of quiet d

Jalen’s frown deepened, his entire being taut with barely restrained anger as he stood firmly in the grand lobby, surrounded by disdain and hostility thick enough to choke on. His voice was low, steady, yet it cut through the noise around him like a sharp blade. "Is this how a seven-star hotel serves its guests?" There was no shouting, no flailing — just a quiet authority that demanded an answer. But the middle-aged manager only scoffed. His eyes, sharp and arrogant, raked over Jalen’s modest clothes with thinly veiled contempt. "Guest?" the manager echoed, his lips curling into an ugly sneer. "You look like a beggar." The insult cracked through the air, and for a brief second, the entire lobby seemed to pause. Even the fat man and his glamorous date, still lingering nearby, exchanged gleeful smirks. The manager, feeding off the growing tension, barked an order toward one of the young doormen standing stiffly by the entrance. The guards where still hovering around Jalen like a

After everything that had happened that evening, Jalen knew he couldn’t linger any longer. Standing beside Sonia under the soft glow of the garden lights, he offered a small, tired smile. "Thank you for everything tonight," he said, his voice low, heavy with the exhaustion he could no longer hide. The night air was cool, carrying with it the faint scent of rain and flowers. Sonia, who had been silently hoping he would ask to stay longer, shifted slightly on her heels. "You could come to my place," she said quietly, almost shyly. "Rest a little. Clear your head." Jalen looked at her, seeing the genuine concern hidden beneath her poised exterior. For a moment, he considered it. It would be easy, slipping into a warm, welcoming space, allowing someone else to share the weight he carried alone. But he couldn’t. He needed space. He needed the silence of loneliness, the kind that would allow him to wrestle his thoughts without distraction. With a soft but firm shake of his head, Jal

Tiana turned to Carlos, her heart bursting with gratitude, her eyes shining with raw, overwhelming relief.Without a second thought, she rushed and hugged him tight, a gesture so humble and full of sincerity that it caught Carlos completely off guard. He blinked, his mouth falling slightly ajar as he stared at her, clearly not expecting such a public display of gratitude.For a split second, Carlos hesitated, a flicker of guilt darting across his face. But it didn't take long for his true nature to surface. Straightening his shoulders arrogantly, Carlos smirked, soaking in the moment like a man who believed he deserved every ounce of praise the world could offer. He tucked one hand into his trouser pocket and raised his chin slightly, as if he were some knight who had rescued a damsel in distress. “Of course,” Carlos said smugly, brushing invisible dust off his sleeve. “I made it happen.” Standing nearby, Sonia caught the entire scene unfold. She couldn't help it; a small, knowi

Jalen frowned deeply, the muscles in his jaw tightening as he turned his face away from Carlos’s childish taunts.He didn’t spare the young man even a second glance.His eyes, steady and sure, fixed firmly on Tiana. In a voice that was calm but edged with urgency, he said, “Tiana, believe me, I didn’t know they were going to remove your company from the partner list. I swear it. And no matter what happens, I’ll help you. I won't stand by and watch you fall.” There was no bitterness in his voice. No sarcasm. No smugness. Only a kind of steady, stubborn determination that even he himself didn’t fully understand.After everything, after all the wounds they had both inflicted on each other, he still couldn’t stand the thought of her losing everything she had worked for. Carlos scoffed loudly beside them, arms folded across his chest in that typical, arrogant way that made his very presence annoying.His lips curled into a mocking sneer as he barked out a dry laugh. “Who do you think y
