Billionaire's Weakness

If there is one thing Constance Hawkins is good at, it's working hard. Her dad was in a car accident that paralyzed his legs, and her sister Charley is in her sophomore year of college. With her mother not in the picture, Constance started working to help her family at a young age. Now, at twenty-six years old, she has a good job working at a bank. Until her awful boss, Sandy, decides to let Constance go because of cutbacks. With her personal responsibilities and her family's, it wasn't the best time to be without a job, but it was out of her hands. While on the hunt, a woman named Madelyn approaches Constance about possibly working at Yoshida Enterprise-a gigantic corporation that owns just about everything in Michigan and beyond. Constance is intrigued, but she has no idea that a simple yes will turn her life in all different directions. Lee Yoshida is the future CEO mogul of Yoshida Enterprise. It's his birthright as the eldest son. He was raised to embody their family business. His parent's harsh, tough love exterior has made Lee into the stern, cold-hearted, and closed-off man he is today. The world was in the palm of his hands, and it rotated the way he seemed fit. There was nothing too far from his reach. If he wanted it, then it was his. Until he met Constance, the one person who didn't bow down to him because of who he was. Charley Hawkins is Constance's twenty-year-old sister. Her spirit is as bright as her love for dance. A dance major in college, Charley is living her best life with great friends and a good-looking boyfriend named Joshua. From the outside, she has it all, but truthfully, Charley wants her dancing career to pay off big time so she can help her family. Also, things with her boyfriend, Joshua, are sort of foggy. Two women are threatening their relationship: Joshua's mother and his ex-girlfriend Amelia. Jackie Yoshida is mouthwatering. He's twenty and a talented painter. Jackie speaks his mind and marches to the beat of his own drum, no matter who has a problem with his decisions, including his controlling parents. They think being an artist is a waste of time. Jackie is supposed to be working at Yoshida Enterprise. All Jackie wants is to have his art grace the walls of the best museums and galleries. He wants these things by working hard, not because of his last name. Unknown to him, he was about to meet his next muse when he came across Charley. Immediately, Jackie finds himself wanting her. But with her having a boyfriend and Jackie having Sanjay, a girl who has his parents' approval, getting Charley won't be so easy. How desperate will Jackie's parents get to be in control of his life? How will that affect his art and his new feelings for Charley? Can Charley remain faithful to her boyfriend Joshua, or is Jackie too hard to resist? With Lee's pride and Constance not caring if she crushes it, how will the two of them coexist working together? Which one of them will realize all the tension is underlined with desire and lust? Family obligations, secrets, cheating, pride, and betrayal are just the start of the first installment of this three-part series.

All Lee wanted was to win Constance back into his life. When he finally succeeded, the couple barely had time to celebrate the reunion. Bruce was threatening to expose a big secret of the Yoshida family-he wasn't Lee's biological father. Aside from Lee's CEO title on the line, the real hurt was the identity of his real father. That was about to shake the entire family upside down. Also, Lee has been keeping certain details about himself from Constance. Eventually, he'll have to come clean which terrifies him that he could scare her off for good. Jackie and Charley's relationship was headed in the right direction. Both were making big strides in their careers. However, Charley is told a devastating fact about her late mom and it's big enough to destroy her relationship with her dad forever. Not to mention Joshua and Sanjay have developed a plan to come between the two. With desperation comes dangerous outcomes that will be someone's demise. Secrets are revealed, trauma revisited, and limits are pushed to the breaking point of no return. What lines will enemies cross to maintain order, wealth, and power? The final installment of this three-part series will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Constance Rewind to earlier that morning. "Wife?" "Yes, his wife, as in till death do us part." The woman in front of me waved her bony finger in my face that had a big diamond wedding ring on it. I heard Charley, Kitty, and Simmora ranting over Joshua. They weren't paying me and what I faced any attention. "Let's step to the back," she suggested when she looked behind me at my sister and friends. At this point, there was no reason for me to object. She switched toward the back like a model on the runway. I watched her put her briefcase on the table, then she turned to me. The woman wasn't ugly at all. Japanese descent but with no accent. Her lips were full, her hair was long and brunette, and her skin was milky white. Her eyes were round with a slight slant. I saw the cattiness, sneaky, and scheming ways she had about her. She was too posh, almost like an AI image. "Let's start over-" "We really don't have to. Your name is Meixiu Sato-Yoshida, and you are Kiyoshi Lee Yoshida's wife." There was no need for her to keep repeating that. I finally got it and realized this was real... Finding out the man Constance possibly fell in love with was married shattered her entire world. Jackie and Charley ended their relationship before it truly began. Charley decided to remain faithful to her boyfriend Joshua. But when it comes out that he did not give Charley the same loyalty, she has to deal with that. Major, Lee's childhood friend, is back in town and has his eyes on Constance. The timing is perfect for him to mend her broken heart. Bruce and Sook Yoshida are still determined to take control of their sons' lives by any means necessary. Trust is broken, certain people will spiral out of control, trauma wounds will reopen, and so much more in this second installment of A Billionaire's Weakness.
