After Divorce, Chased By My Billionaire Ex-Fiancé 033 — NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY AUNT OPHELIA
AMANIAunt Ophelia hurriedly wipes her eyes and forces a smile;“It’s nothing, sweetie. Just something in my eyes.”I know she’s lying, and I want to ask again. Then it occurs to me that she might not actually feel comfortable talking about her problem when Bhyron and Jay are in the room. So I turn to him and lift my chin;“Uh… thanks for dropping me off. You can leave now.”His jaw is set at a stubborn angle and I know he wants to argue with me. So I add; “just leave, Bhyron. I’ll give you a call later.”His jaw eases. Then he leans forward and growls very, very softly; “I’m looking forward to that call. If I don’t see it by midnight, I’ll come to you in person to find out why.”On a normal day, I’d brush off his threat. But after getting to know the new Bhyron, I’ve realized that this man is capable of anything. And he’s unpredictable as hell. So I just nod.“Of course.”He opens his mouth to say something else but closes it a second later and stalks out of the room without looking

AMANII’m still struggling to pick my jaw off the floor but Aunt Ophelia is not done speaking.“I really thought he liked me. I didn’t know he worked with the Gunam brothers.”I stare at her wide-eyed.“You really thought he liked you? Aunt, you’re a married woman. Do you realize that you’ve been cheating on your husband?”She keeps her face lowered to the ground.“Thorn and I are not currently the best of friends.”“What do you mean?”When she looks up, her eyes are clouded with sadness. “Thorn’s mother isn’t actually sick. He just went over there because our marriage has really been… strained lately. We’ve been fighting a lot. We barely see eye to eye. Everything is falling apart.” Another sniff.“The main reason I cheated years ago was because I…” a deep breath. “I caught Thorn kissing his Personal Assistant when I paid him a surprise visit once. I was so upset that that same night, I ended up in the strip club where I met Desmond.”My brain is currently whirling with shock. Images

AMANIZuri Bentham is someone you would call a wild woman. I’ve never met a more beautiful combination of nerd and total slut in my entire life.I met her in the second week of college. I mistakenly drove my bicycle into her ex-boyfriend, Scott, and the next day, a strange number called me, thanking me profusely for causing harm to the “bat-eyed dork” and asking if I wanted ice cream for compensation.Yes, I was shocked as hell. Thankfully, her ex did not press charges. Weirdly, she kept calling and kept offering to take me on a date. At one point, I thought she was a psycho homosexual who was addicted to the sound of my voice or something.Finally, one sunny afternoon, when I had nothing going on with my life and therefore no excuses, I finally agreed to go out with her.I was not expecting a voluptuous, doe-eyed young lady with a head full of long blue hair and a mouth sharper than a brand new razor. It was love at first sight. Ever since that day, we’ve been inseparable.Zuri is

BHYRON“What did you say?” Duke growls down the line, his voice oozing with serious intensity.“You heard me. Zuri Bentham is back in New York.”A shuffle comes over the line and a corner of my lips tip in a grin when I realize that he’s pacing. Between both of us, Duke is always the calm one. While I believe in loud, fiery destruction, my best friend is a fan of cold, underground action.I have only ever seen him aggravated once — the first day he set his eyes on Zuri Bentham. The woman is barely five feet tall but she almost made my six foot four giant of a best friend lose his ever loving mind.“Where is she?” His voice is dark. My smile grows wider.“I’ve got no idea. You tell me.”“Hold on.”The line goes dead and I lean against my car and take a deep breath, waiting for Duke’s call.Duke is a computer wizard. The last time they met, he put a tracker on Zuri’s cellphone so he could always know her location, even while she was in London.She doesn’t know about this, of course. O

BHYRONSage and Spencer Sullivan are my biological cousins from my mother’s side. Seeing that I hate my mother’s guts, I grew to dislike every single member of her family, too. Well, most of them. I don’t hate my grandmother and Uncle Scott.Why do I hate them? The Sullivan twins have been in a silent competition with me for as long as I can remember. Both brothers are always watching my every step and copying my business moves ninety percent of the time.When I decided to go into construction, Sullivan Technology went into construction. When I expanded to pharmaceuticals, they followed suit. Same with fashion and design. The Sullivan brothers have succeeded in stepping on my toes for the past ten years, and I’ve always ignored them. But not anymore. Not today. Especially not when they’re in there with my woman.Sage and Spencer know about Amani. They know our story. I can only imagine the evil they might want to perpetrate against me, using her. I step forward and the guard draws

AMANI“Zuri? Come on, we have to go.” My brain is still spinning in shock as I watch Duke lift Zuri into his arms. I finally swing to action when he starts walking towards the exit. I shove to my feet and block his path. “Where the hell do you think you’re going with my best friend? Release her. Now.”I silently register that I’ve never seen Duke this angry. I can glimpse darkness in his eyes as he stares at me;“Get out of the way, Amani.”I’m shaking like a leaf inside, but I fold my arms and lift my chin, trying to appear brave.“No way. There’s no way in hell that I’m letting you leave with her. That’s kidnapping. You could hurt her.”Bhyron walks to Duke’s side, equally staring at me like I’m a nuisance; “Duke would cut off his left arm before hurting Zuri. She’s in safe hands.”My eyes narrow in confusion.“Do you know her? What’s your relationship with her?” My question is directed at Duke.I don’t miss the fierce gleam in Duke’s eyes as his gaze falls to Zuri’s face;“It’s

AMANITHE NEXT DAYIf I give my best friend one more call and she doesn’t respond, girls and boys, I’m calling the police.Last night was hectic. After trying hard to convince Bhyron to let me go home alone, he still stuffed me into one of his cars with Jay and made sure that after dropping me off, that poor man stayed outside my house on guard duty until the crack of dawn.I went downstairs by three AM to offer him a compensatory glass of cheap wine and convince him to go home. I even swore on my mother’s pretty grave that I wouldn’t tell on him. Not only did that cold-eyed man reject my precious wine, he also refused to go home. I gave up and tried to go to bed, but Bhyron’s subtle threats and my worry for Zuri kept me up all night.I tried calling her and Duke’s phone numbers over and over again. It just went straight to voicemail.Now, it’s almost twelve noon and I’m over here, nearly going out of my mind with worry and wondering if I can find Duke’s office address on the interne

AMANI“How did you find out about this?”Duke scoffs;“I’m insulted that you would ask me that. Anyways, I received inside information from Sky Valley bank that twenty million dollars left Zuri’s company account. According to them, the money is on its way to a private account.The entire situation seemed suspicious as hell, so I contacted my inside person in Zuri’s accounts department. Luckily for me, my contact had facilitated the transaction himself. According to him, the money was sent to a private account. On further investigations, I found out that the account is owned by one Ophelia Thorn, and the title of the transaction was: ‘debt payment.’How much is Amani owing you again?”Anger swirls in my throat, hot and venomous. But I can’t ignore the pride beneath that anger.Little Caramel really thought she could escape my trap so easily. I did not wait for her so patiently for six years only to be defeated just like that.“I can hear your devious mind scheming. What’s your plan?”I

I just fight.I kick and buck and struggle against Bhyron’s fierce grip, desperate for freedom.“Let go of me! Let gooo!!”I aim for his shin but he’s bigger and faster.

After Divorce, Chased By My Billionaire Ex-Fiancé 124 — THE MONSTER WITHIN HIM
BHYRON“…your presence irritates me…” Those fiercely muttered words burn through my heart like acid. For a moment, I freeze up and just stare at her, hoping she’d tell me that this is all a joke.But the only emotions in Amani’s eyes are anger and annoyance. She really meant what she said. The realization is like a blow to my stomach.I shut my eyes for a second, temporarily at war with myself. Should I just get up and leave or should I keep trying to reason with her?But even as I ask myself that question, I already know the answer. I’m not leaving. Amani can call me names from the pits of hell and try as hard as she can to push me away, but it’s not happening. I won’t go away. Not anymore.So I grit my teeth and steel my heart against the influx of hurtful words I know she still has in store for me.“What are you still doing here?! I asked you to leave.”I grit my teeth and lift a hand to grab her flailing arm. Maybe she’ll return to her senses if I touch her. Maybe she’ll recogniz

BHYRONOne of my sex workers at La Marièe almost got assaulted by a client tonight. She raised an alarm and the entire situation spiralled out of control within seconds. The news somehow travelled to the guests downstairs and the cops got involved.I spent the past four hours trying to stop La Marièe from getting closed down because of an issue that could’ve been handled with better care. Now I’m exhausted and all I want is to hold Amani and go to sleep.After taking a quick shower, I don boxers and climb into the huge bed, pulling Amani into my arms and cuddling her against my chest. She lets out a soft mewling sound that tugs at my heartstrings but settles down quickly, wrapping her arms around my middle.I’m enveloped in her scent, swathed in the softness of her skin and there’s nowhere else on this goddamn earth that I’d rather be.I’d love nothing but to shut my eyes and let sleep take me, but deep down, I know I cannot afford such luxury. I know the darkness will come… and so wi
After Divorce, Chased By My Billionaire Ex-Fiancé 122 — FOR A WIFE TO TRUST HER HUSBAND…
BHYRONRamiel looks exactly like he does in the few pictures I’ve seen — angelic. Glowing.He’s dressed all in white just like I expected. A pure white African Kaftan covers his broad shoulders, flowing all the way to his ankles. His shiny blonde hair is perfectly styled and bounces on his shoulders as he walks towards us.When he gets within talking distance, I rise from my seat and Duke follows suit. Besides my grandfather, I never rise to greet anyone whether they come to meet me or I go to meet them. The thought of my old man sends a sliver of choking pain through my guts.But there’s something about Ramiel Castello. Maybe it’s those piercing blue eyes or the invisible glowing ring above his head, but I feel like I’m in the presence of royalty. “I never thought a day would come when the Bhyron Macaulay would ask to see me.” He says graciously, motioning for us to take our seats.Not one to mince words or waste time, I decide to go straight to the point.“Well, I’m sure you alread

BHYRONFinally, after twenty-five gruelling minutes, we arrive at the luxurious five-star hotel. The moment my driver opens the door and I climb off the car, my nerves twist violently as a strange sensation fleets through my heart.Silently, I turn to Duke and find him surveying our surroundings, forehead knotted in a frown.“You feel it, too?” I ask when he comes to stand by my side.“Yes. There’s something very wrong about this place. It gives me the ick.”The Crystal City Hotel is one of the most successful hotel chains in New York. Owned by a renowned Mexican businessman, the towering high rise boasts of modern, world-class amenities that are hard to find in any other hotels in the city, including expertly programmed robots instead of human attendants and complimentary self-driving cars for high-paying clients.To the ordinary eye, everything seems perfect. But to Duke and I, something is wrong.Wait…“Bhyron, take a look at the cars. Notice anything strange?”There are five iden

I feel a presence behind me and turn to find Duncan a few feet away, hands tightly clasped at his back.“Return to the room and keep watch. I need you to pay special attention to Zuri. Make sure the door is open at all times and she doesn’t say or do anything fishy to my wife.”He bows. “Yes, boss.”He’s just about to leave when I stop him.“Can I trust you this time, Duncan? Will you fail me again?”He lifts his head and holds my gaze. There’s no iota of fear in his eyes. Just confidence and respect.“Last night was a stupid mistake, boss. I assure you that it will never happen again.”Three seconds tick by, heavy with mistrust, then I nod and step ba

AMANIMy eyes are firmly shut as I thrash around on the bed in search of my anchor, in search of my source of strength. But he’s not here. He’s gone. I know he is. When he was here, the piercing pain in my heart had reduced to a dull throb. The dirty, contaminated feeling that tainted my soul stayed far away, too scared of his darkness to come close. The heavy feeling in my limbs had disappeared, too. When he was here, he protected me. He shielded me from Antonio’s grubby hands. But now that he’s gone, I’m being bombarded with everything at once. The excruciating discomfort is back. My demons have returned to attack me and he’s not here to fight them off.I can hear voices in the distance and even though I’m clutched in the throes of a horrible nightmare, I still call out for him. I need him. I listen carefully, hoping I hear his voice, hoping he comes back for me.When the pain becomes unbearable, I curl into myself and hot tears slip past my tightly shut eyelids. My soul takes a

BHYRONI hear Amani’s screams from down the hall and it tears through my soul like a fiery blade. I run blindly and don’t stop until I’m storming into the master bedroom. The sight that greets me shatters my nonexistent heart to pieces.Amani is writhing and shaking in bed. The once perfectly laid sheets pool around her legs and arms, evidence of her distraught.Without uttering a word and driven by an urgency that makes my blood boil, I take off my shoes and climb into the bed with her, pulling her trembling body flush against my chest. Her eyes are firmly shut but the second I touch her, tears still manage to leak through.The sight of her wet cheeks unravels an animalistic intensity inside of me, but I have to tame it and take care of my baby. Amani is my only priority. She’s more important than even my darkness. “Bhyron…” she whimpers, clinging onto me like a baby monkey. “It hurts. It hurts so much. I can’t take it anymore. Please, make it stop.”I hug her fiercely and kiss her

I’ve been hallucinating for the past hour.One moment I was lying on the grimy floors of the phone booth, thinking I’d never get to see Zuri again and the next, an Angel appeared right in front of me.I looked up at him dazed and confused, blinded by the sheer beauty of his bright, golden air and pure white shirt. Even now, I can still remember the unique colour of his eyes — silver and narrowed, while his head shook with pity as he looked down on me.“Are you Angel?” I ask, my voice weak and barely audible.“Yes, I am. What would you like me to do for you?”A real Angel?! What a treat. Or maybe I was hallucinating.“Take me home, please.” I begged, wrapping my arms tightly around my middle. “I’m so cold. I think I’m freezing.”“Your wish is my command, princess.”Without uttering another word, the Angel swept
