Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns
P-please, I beg you. Come let's go tell Christian I had no hand in whatever happened, p-please." I clutched the lapel of his jacket desperately. "Let's go. You need to tell my husband the truth."
"Young lady, you're harassing me." His tone was cold and his stare granite.
"You harassed me first! You had sex with me without my consent, my husband knows and now I'm pregnant with this child he doesn't want. You ruined my marriage! I-I hate you!"

Chapter: Love, Family And Forever THREE YEARS LATER...I stood outside in front the prison's huge gate, Zion and Zaya, still having their sibling rivalry, stood beside me. I paid them no mind. The day they would not argue, I would be genuinely worried. Jared stood beside me as I held a cardboard paper in view, waiting for her. "Where is she?" I questioned impatiently.Uncle Pete and Miss Nancy were home, they couldn't come because Miss Nancy had just put to bed a beautiful set of twin boys. The twin gene was really strong in the Johnson family. Celine was due at any moment. Funny right? Dylan had proposed a year after my wedding. Celine was expecting her first child but was advised to stay home and to stress as little as possible. That was what happened when your husband was a big shot doctor.The gates opened and there she was. I beamed.Zion and Zaya, now eight years of age, ran forward in unison, forgetting their meaningless squabble. "Aunt Denise!""Hey!" She opened her arms, stooping to hug them only they wer

Chapter: Happy MomentsWhen I finally came to, the first thing I heard was the steady beeping of the heart's monitor. I blinked reflexively as the bulb overhead hurt my eyes some. I tried to raise myself to a sitting position but a groan escaped my lips."Hailey." Someone rushed to the bed, helping me to sit up.It was Jared. "W-what happened? I had a dream. A weird dream." I told him, looking quite disoriented. "Really? What kind of dream was that?" He asked, tucking hair behind my ears. "I saw Zaya. Zion was holding her hand and they...they..." Emotions swamped me, making it difficult for me to continue speaking.I swallowed hard, trying to dislodge tears suck in my throat. He heaved a sigh. "It was not a dream, baby. Zaya is alive. I'm as shocked as you are but after uncle Pete and Miss Nancy explained all that happened, I am just thankful she's alive." Emotions rose to his throat. "No." I shook my head, not wanting to believe. "No, no. Zaya died. I saw her body. She...she laid there unconscious an

Chapter: The Future Is Bright "Thank you Brenda, you did a superb job." I shook hands with the very pretty bartender dressed in revealing clothes as the cops threw handcuffs around the wrists of drugged, oblivious Philip and Derek.Finally, I did it. Actually, to be fair, I had help. Jared and me had tracked them to the location Denise had provided and it was true. I realized they frequented a rundown bar at this remote area and they were smart to because no one would have ever traced them here."It's my pleasure. Plus, the money was too good to pass up." She seemed pleased with herself. "Just a second." I left her to go get my checkbook and pen from my bag sitting in the car. I returned to her with these, wrote a figure and extended it to her. "This is thank you for a job well done."She took the check, her eyes bulged in both excitement and shock. "This is freaking much! What the hell do I do with so much money?"My eyes did a quick sweep of her work environment, then moved back to her. "You can pursue your dr

Chapter: A Visit To Prison "I don't know why you brought me here. You could have come alone." I folded my arms, staring with a displeased expression at the entrance of the police station. "You need this." Jared said, turning off the engine and unbuckling his seatbelt. "Aren't you getting out?""I told you I'm not ready. I don't know what to tell her. I'm not even sure I want to talk to her, I can't forget the fact that she had a hand in my father's death.""Fine. Then don't talk, let me do the talking. I just want you to be available so you can hear the information she has. You want Philip and Derek to pay for what they have done to you, don't you?" He shifted to face me. "I guess." My tone was reluctant."Good, because I want Philip to pay for killing my father." His jaw tightened.I frowned a little. "You've never been this upset ever since...I don't know, he was your father-in-law.""A big mistake. My father's death ruined my family with my mother as an accomplice." His words were bitter to the ears. I pl

Chapter: Tit For TatI was dressed for the event — a simple tank top and distressed denim shorts. It was time to pluck off another adversary.I opened the door and turned on the lights. "There you are." My smile was anything but welcoming or friendly. "And I thought I smelled a rotten fish." She spat, looking unkempt and dirty. And she was tied to a chair. "Oh, that'll be you seeing as you haven't had your bath in like...well, weeks." I drew a chair from the wall, placed it few feet from hers and sat. "Forgive my lack of hospitality, I've been busy.""It's been a while. What do you want?" Her once shiny red hair was now a matted mess. "Revenge." I simply said. As though on cue, I heard a rap on the door. I opened it to allow Celine and Jared walk in. Jared was carrying a box of things I'd asked for. "You bitch! You think I'm scared of you?" She was trying to act strong but the little quiver in her voice gave her away. "I think you already are." I emptied the contents in the box.I heard her gasp. "

Chapter: Arresting Mr. President "Room 48." I mumbled, blowing nerves away. I was here and there was no turning back. Uncle Pete and Jared had no idea where I was going. I'd lied about picking some things for Zion from the store. This should be over in no time. I raised a fist and rapped gently but firmly on the door. "Who's that?"Two of the cops had followed me upstairs but were hiding from view. That sounded like the President's voice. I knocked again, cleared my tone in a bit to disguise it and said. "Room service."There was seconds of silence, then the padding of feet coming towards the door. The door opened. "We didn't order any..." The rest of his words were drowned by shock."Hello, Mr. President." I plastered on a smile. "Can I come in?" He was yet to see the cops."Get out." Fear and anger had him growl out those words. He tried to shut the door in my face but before he succeeded, I had a foot stuck between the door and used all of my power to push it open, making him lose balance and fall to the gro

So Long, Mr. CEO. I'm Now With Your Brother
My woozy brain managed to register my body being laid on a soft bed...
I held on tightly to his neck, grinning stupidly, "you're so handsome. I like to kiss handsome men."
A soft chuckle, "darling, you..."
I raised my head to jam my lips with his, cutting him off.

Chapter: The VisitROXANNEJosh had requested we met face to face. He pleaded, his mom also involving herself and trying to paint herself as the victim who was deceived and used by the wrong people, and that she had just discovered the truth and wanted to make amends. Kylian had proposed a different location, saying he didn't want them to come into the apartment building.We were currently in a hotel suite, waiting for them. According to Josh, this was a private matter and needed us to discuss it without the public eye. Also, the backlash that had been following him after the disgrace and arrest of Vanessa and her parents had him keeping his presence from the public eye. "What do you think is so important that they'll want to say?" I posed casually to Kylian, sipping from a champagne flute and watching the bright sky from the floor to ceiling window, enjoying the view. He laid stretched on a sofa, drinking from his glass of whiskey, "we'll have to find out."Sex with Kylian hadn't made me feel as awk

Chapter: Breakfast And ConversationsROXANNE A part of my brain woke up the next morning to the incessant, annoying trilling of my phone. Eyes still blissfully closed, I reached out a hand to grap it and curse at whoever was on the other side of the line when my hand met with air. I gave up, to lazy and sleepy to move beyond where I was, but the phone didn't stop ringing."Oh my goodness." I murmured, rising to a sitting position, rubbing a hand over my eyes. A big, silent yawn widened my mouth. I stretched, a bit sleepy then forced my poor eyed lids open. The first confusion that hit me was the unfamiliarity of the room. It wasn't mine. I looked around and saw that even the bed wasn't mine. And it was empty. It took what seemed like a long while but was actually a few seconds for my brain to be fully awake and then brought back memories from the night before. Oh. The phone had stopped ringing, I realized, and it wasn't mine.Where was Kylian? I touched his side of the bed and found that it was cold. So he'd been

Chapter: Heat And PassionROXANNE "Oh God..." I thrashed about the bed, fists gripping the sheets. My brain cells were scrambling for sanity. My body edged dangerously closer with each kiss, each trail, each lick. At this point, I couldn't help the strong pull below my waist, making me bite my lower lip harder, trying to stifle a moan...it was a hopeless situation.His mouth had long broken away from my mouth but was erupting more desires than I ever thought I was capable of hosting through my petite frame. God, he was so good at his. My body gave an involuntary jerk when his tongue swiped over the face of my pussy, as his thumb ran about my clits in circling motions. The pull was stronger, heavier, pressured to break forth. He pulled away his mouth and drew himself up to look my gaze. The fact that he'd stopped when I was this close had sexual frustration gnawing my insides. I stared at him through the blur of heavy lust, "Mmm..."His eyes were clouded too, his hair ruffled with dark strands poking ab

Chapter: In His BedroomROXANNE 'Break it off, Roxanne. Leave while you still can, Roxanne. Don't do this with him, Roxanne. He doesn't do love and commitment.'The warning bell didn't stop ringing. The inner voice of reason was screaming in my head. Still, I didn't listen. I couldn't listen. Not when his mouth ravishing mine felt so good. Not when my body melded into his perfectly like it was meant to be there. The empty glass and bottle still carrying wine on my hand each, wrapped around his neck, pressing my body into his.I moaned into his mouth when his hands snaked around my back, trailing down to my butt cheeks and gently cupping in a squeeze before trailing back up. I told myself it was the wine, but I knew that was a lie. I'd only polished off a glass. It was something about his mouth, his tongue — the way it arrogantly clashed with mine and exercised dominance. His hands, barely touching but my body was already on edge. Between my legs, heat grew and wouldn't stop. He broke off the kiss, but

Chapter: On The BalconyROXANNEHours later, the party was over. The guests had all gone. Some even promised to come around to the office for business talks and mergers. They congratulated me for getting back what was mine.Paparazzi had stepped into the hall just when I was about to cut the cake with Kylian, mom and Ethan flanking my sides in support — with a little exception to little, excited Ethan who stood in front of me holding the knife as though he was the man of the moment — proud and soaking in the attention from anyone who wanted to say hi.On my own part, I could barely keep up, but the excitement of the evening was worth every energy. Rochelle was one of the last handful of guests to leave. I thanked her profusely for her part in helping me get back my identity. We promised to keep in touch and keep the friendship going. "He's asleep now." Kylian said as the elevator door slid open to the twentieth floor. Mom eyed the peacefully sleeping Ethan in Kylian's arm as though she wanted to grab him.

"Hi," Patricia strode over, big, sweet smiles brightened her face as she neared us. Mom and I exchanged brief glanced before turning back to her, waiting for her to say what she had to say. "I'm so glad you finally got back what was yours, Roxanne. Oh my goodness, you deserve it." She began, her smiles stuck on her face as though she couldn't afford to lose it. I quirked a brow, but still listened to her. "You know, I somehow knew Vanessa wasn't a farce but I just couldn't prove it. Always strutting about arrogantly and pretending like she owned the world. I should have known that you are the rightful heiress of Gilmore Empire. Maybe that's why fate made it so I came to Julia here to propose you marry my son, without even knowing that you're the real Gilmore arranged to marry Josh. See how fate works." She went off in a

« J-je t’en supplie. Viens, s'il te plaît, on doit aller dire à Christian que je n'y suis pour rien dans tout ça. S'il te plaît... » Je m'agrippai désespérément au revers de sa veste. « Allons-y. Tu dois dire à mon mari qu'on t'a payé pour ça. »
« Jeune femme, vous me harcelez. » Son ton était glacial, son regard de marbre.
Mais je n'en avais absolument rien à foutre. « C'est toi qui m'as harcelée en premier ! Tu as couché avec moi sans mon consentement, mon mari le sait, et maintenant je me retrouve enceinte de ce gosse dont il ne veut pas. Tu as détruit mon mariage ! J-je te hais ! »

Chapter: Conduite chez l’Oncle Pete— Qu’est-ce qu’elle fout là ?Une femme qui semblait avoir la fin de la trentaine a froncé les sourcils dès qu’elle m’a vue. Elle avait des boucles noires très courtes et une tonne de maquillage sur le visage. Elle aurait pu être jolie si elle n’avait pas décidé de se tartiner la figure avec autant de produits de beauté. Elle était grande et mince, mais n’avait pas vraiment un corps de mannequin. Elle mâchait et faisait éclater des bulles de chewing-gum avec un laisser-aller total.— Pas maintenant, Catherine, s’est contenté de dire l’Oncle Pete, me guidant plus loin dans son salon.Sa maison était magnifique et respirait elle aussi la richesse. J’avais passé dix jours à l’hôpital pour essayer de me remettre. Le médecin avait refusé de me laisser sortir avant d’être sûr que ma tension était revenue à la normale.
