All Chapters of Deceiving A Billionaire: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“There is no one named Ivy Vale. She is using a fake name. That person started existing only four years ago. Your girl is lying to you. She is after something from you.” Marco told me.I called him to get rid of Celeste’s corpse because I knew he would die protecting my secrets.He was the head of the New York Italian Mafia Outfit and my closest friend. I helped him launder money and mask his business as legitimate. I had known him since I was a teenager, and he had helped me through some of the toughest shit anyone could imagine.When Ivy killed Celeste, I had to call him to tell him what had happened so he could come and clean up the mess. We could frame it as a suicide after her body was cremated. She wasn’t close with her family, which meant they wouldn’t look into things too closely.Everyone would believe she had taken her life after all the shit she had been through. I wish I could say I regretted that I had refused to help her get her videos off the internet, but I didn’t.The

I paced my living room, waiting for my brother to show up. He had been sticking to himself late, and he was probably because he was with Elizabeth, and he had to give her a lot more time and attention.Another good thing that came from his being with Elizabeth was the fact that he was sober. Now he had to portray the perfect man for her, who was focused and didn’t do any drugs or drink any alcohol. If there was one thing about Jesse, it was that he was committed to a plot.He was the only man I knew who could camouflage into anything. He could get into disguise and turn into a whole new character. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have the same ability, which is probably why Seth was so drawn to me.I had a feeling that I wouldn’t have been able to succeed in seducing him if I had stuck to the character Jesse had set up for me. I was supposed to be a soft girl who only wore white and loved soft things.That wasn’t who I was, and it was apparently not what Seth wanted in a woman.“What di

“You have been avoiding me,” Seth said as he barged into my office with flowers.Even though he seemed to think that I was ignoring him, he still came with a bouquet of blue roses. He was in a suit, and he looked as hot as ever. He looked so good that I had his magazine covers in my room.He was built to be in front of a camera and in war at the same time, with the face of a model and the body of a soldier. I couldn’t believe the man was mine, for now.“I have not been ignoring you,” I said, desperately trying to hide the smile I had on my face. I hated that I was gushing at the sight of him.A gesture as simple as coming to look for me at my workplace when I didn’t answer his calls or texts made me feel wanted. I had been busy the past few days, and I didn’t want any distractions. Seth was a distraction.I also wanted to make sure his feelings for me were as strong as Jesse said. As usual, my brother was right.“You have been ignoring me, Ivy. I haven’t seen you since that night, and

“I need to get married before the year ends, or the entire inheritance goes to Lucy and her children. It needs to be someone whom my grandparents have approved. I took too long to take Celeste to meet them because I knew they wouldn’t like her.”“And I was right. They met her and hated her. I was going to marry her and strike a deal with my father’s lawyers to make sure they gave me a pass. I wasn’t sure they would accept. They were very loyal to my father.”I felt bad because of all the information I had been given. It was both disheartening and sad.“Seth Ashford, are you asking me to marry you?” I asked jokingly to lighten the mood.He managed to laugh at the situation even though I was sure he felt terrible.“I am sorry this happened to you. Nothing is more frustrating than someone wanting something you have worked hard for years.” I replied.“I suspect Lucy killed my father. He died from a heart attack when he had previously been very healthy. I know she did something to him, but

The fun I had with Seth was unmatched. We went on trips on the weekends, I spent more time with his shitty friends, and I met his best friend, who was in the mafia. I got the sense that he didn’t like me.But I didn’t care. I was not there to please him. I was there to please Seth, and it was working. He wanted to be with me every free second he had, and he was even spending days on end at my penthouse.I even had space for his clothes in my closet.I thought I would hate it and think he was clingy, but I didn’t. I loved it. It also kept Jesse away. He didn’t pop around as often, mainly because he was busy with Elizabeth. But the main reason he didn’t come by was that he was afraid he would come and see Seth.They would have to meet eventually because Seth was hinting at meeting his grandparents soon. He would want to meet my family afterwards, and the only family I had was my brother.Work was going well, and Mark was about to retire. It was obvious he was leaving the company with me
