About this ebook
***This was previously released as a story in Melody Anne's Billionaire Kindleworld. All elements of her world have been removed.***
Sometimes doing the right thing, is not doing what you'd first intended.
All it took was heavy rain, a motorcycle, and a poor decision and Royal Hamilton who made his living acquiring and developing property, found himself under a tree, having been robbed and with no memory of who he was. Jules Tarrington isn't sure what to make of the strange man she finds on the back end of her horse farm, he doesn't look like a man who's used to hard physical labor. However, she can't just leave him there so she takes him back to the house and sends for the doctor.
As he recovers his strength he works beside Jules at her farm. During which bits and pieces return to him about who he is. When it all clicks into place, he finds himself in a unique dilemma, does he continue to pursue the property for the money or should he follow his heart's advice and leave it alone for it belongs to the woman he's fallen in love with. Better question would be, will she believe he hadn't pretended about his memory loss to turn her affections?

The Billionaire's Code - Aliyah Burke
CHAPTER ONE
I don’t know Nate, I’m tired of it all. Right now, I want to get away and take a break.
Rex paced back and forth before the large window overlooking Vancouver and over the Columbia River to Portland. He loved it here, and not just Vancouver, but all of the Pac Norwest. On the hand’s free set, he continued to walk back and forth, as he spoke to his friend Nathan Nate
Kendrick on the other end, I need to get away from everyone. I’ve got people here who can handle everything. I want to go someplace where no one knows my name or wants something from me because of my wealth.
Nate’s deep laugh streamed over the line. How do you think that’s going to happen, Royal?
Christ, you only call me that when you’re trying to get under my skin. I hate that name.
Born Royal Hamilton, he much preferred to be called Rex.
I thought you had some deals coming up,
Nate said.
Making his way back to his large oak desk, he sat in the high back leather chair. There are a few properties we’re closing on within a month, but again, Dan can handle it all. I just need something else for a bit.
You know you’re always welcome to come out here to Springwood, we’d all love to see you and there’s more than enough room.
Nate was the patriarch of the Kendrick family. As the eldest of the three boys he’d stepped up big when their parents had died. They owned a sprawling ranch and he and Nate had gone to school together. He was the one person who had been like him, preferring to be in the background, keeping to himself. They’d become close and had stayed that way over the years. Rex had gone out to visit him quite a few times and had to admit, there was a lovely draw to that part of the country as well.
While Nate worked during school to send money home, Rex had worked beside him and had invested his money as well as his friends. He lined both of their pockets with wealth and while Nate didn’t invest as he still did, there were occasions when he had something, he believed to be beneficial to his friend, he’d let him know. He made his fortune grow now by purchasing property, building hotels and resorts for the rich to blow their money. A very lucrative lifestyle.
I know he would, but I don’t want to head back East. I actually want to get on my bike and ride.
You still have that Harley?
I do. Haven’t taken it out in a while. No time and it’s been a bit wet. We’ve had a nice dry spell for a bit.
You know you can always fly out here and rent a bike, while I get it wouldn’t be your bike but, it would be a bike. Then you could come and see us. And as our weather is beautiful, you could actually do more riding. Or you could just go find some woman and sleep with her for a night or two.
He leaned back and propped his feet up on his desk. I would love to come out there but we would just start talking business. I’ll be in touch in a few days. Give your wife a kiss for me.
He wasn’t about to address the sleeping with some faceless woman subject. Nope, not going there.
I’ll give her a kiss from me. Not you,
he teased. Take care of yourself.
Always do.
He touched his ear and ended the call. Always have.
And he always would. Thumping his feet to the thick carpet, he pressed a button and got his assistant, Lissette.
Yes sir?
she asked.
Have Dan in my office in five minutes.
Right away, sir.
Pushing away from his desk, he strolled to his private bathroom and stared at his reflection. He hadn’t even gone home last night but slept on his couch. Hell, he hadn’t been home all week. Lissette had been to his place more recently than he had. There’s an issue with that, a serious one. He owned a mansion and almost never went home. Wasn’t the first time that happened, and he knew it wasn’t going to be the last. He did note that his scruff needed to be knocked off.
Rex?
Give me a sec, Dan.
He splashed some water on his face and wiped it off on the fluffy white towel hanging there. Leaving the bathroom, he smiled at his right-hand man. I’m taking off for a few days. Keep doing as you normally would, call me if necessary but I’d prefer not to be bothered.
Dan lowered his lean frame to the leather couch and put his ankle on his knee. Where are you going?
Not sure. Just out to ride. I may be heading to Colorado.
He reclaimed his seat and turned toward Dan. Are we set for everything?
Yes, all is fine with everything except, Petrichor.
He paused and raked his brain to recall the name. The farm? Isn’t it somewhere in Colorado?
Dan shrugged. It’s a bit more than that but yes, the equine place.
So, what? She’s not willing to sell? What’s the hold up?
A furrow appeared between Dan’s brows. You’re really distracted if you don’t remember that. She not only refuses to sell, but she sent your offer back in tiny shredded pieces.
He grunted. Somewhere, he recalled hearing him mentioning that. So, send another. Up it a bit and see what she says.
She’s not going to sign it, the only thing sent that wasn’t torn up was her very explicit refusal.
He cocked a brow at Dan. Send another. I want that property, so we can turn that area into a resort. It’s going to be beautiful. The view of the mountains and the river being near. I’ll make a nice profit with this purchase.
I’ll send another.
Dan got to his feet. Any other instructions?
Yes, be nice to Lissette. I don’t want her to quit. I would have a hell of a time finding someone to fill her position that I actually like.
Dan held up his hands, a sheepish grin filling his features. She’s so much fun to pick on but fine, I’ll play nice while you’re gone.
Rex went toward the door. See you do or you’re going to be pulling double duty and I’m harder on her than I am you. Not sure you could handle her position.
Yanking open the door, he said, Lissette, have Terry pull around. I’m going home.
"Right away,
