Billionaire Bride Fourteen
I was shocked!Turns out the moment of truth ain't truthful either guys it's all acting. But Zach's own had an element of truth."The first day I saw her was the day I saw my son kneeling on the ground," he began with deep emotion."She was so pretty and feisty, I had noticed that on our first meeting. My son was asking her to marry him. I took one look at them and I was transported back to my own time when I had asked my beautiful wife to marry me."Oh really? I didn't know your wife also slapped you, I yearned to say but bit my tongue quietly."Awww that's so sweet of you to say, Zach," Bobby gushed happily.This media guy was buying whatever Zach was saying? I smiled a little to hide my discomfort again as I felt the ache of the shoes."Don't mess this up, Hailey."The smile turned to a grimace as I heard the husky annoying voice of Xavier close to my ears.I was about to snap at him when I noticed a camera zoom in on us."Don't say such things, love," I laughed."What are you..."

"This sucks!"I glared at Susie as she complained of the...er...I've lost count of the number of times she mumbled about this not being fair. The fact that she got us both locked up in the house."Don't blame me, I was only having fun!!" She cried.I glared at her again, unwilling to speak to her. Her idea of fun was sinking in a bathtub or pretending to drown just to get my attention?"Hailey? I'm sorry!" I sighed and ran a hand across my hair. I could already picture the newspaper's headline about what Susie did today.Zach had been so furious but he didn't show it instead he had steered the media away and gave Susie a death glare.Xavier had stayed behind with his mom, Brenda and after calling us lowlife tramps seeking attention, they had locked us in. I had no idea how they dealt with the media from there.I also have no idea how I should deal with Xavier especially after he just insulted me to my face. I couldn't believe I had reduced myself so low that I was doing this.I hated
Billionaire Bride Sixteen
I smiled at her. She looked like one of the girls from the popular teen movies; The mean girls. The pink dress she wore went perfectly with her face and her red hair. Her iconic pale blue eyes did not fit her cruel nature.At the moment I wanted Susie to be here with me but she was probably having a hot argument with a grown witch back at our new abode."And you are?" I asked, pretending not to know her. The anger was evident on her face but she kept a cool composure."How could you not know such a popular person like me?" She asked with a sly smile. "My grandma never taught me to remember names of dirt," I said with a cooler smile than the one she carried."I never knew your grandma worked in the dirt factory," She retorted.Wait, what?!That must be one of the lamest comebacks I have ever heard, it didn't even make any sense! Like who said such, oh dear Susie it's at this moment I want you to teleport here."Now I think I remember you, your bad comebacks and stunts made me remember
Billionaire Bride Seventeen
Silent night, holy night, all was calm now all is wild, my version of this Christmas Carol.Like I can literally tell you, you are my witness, you saw how I tried my best, you saw how much I ignored her. It wasn't my fault. Besides, the gown must have cost thousands! Well it's not like it got stained. my hair just suffered the damage. But I think it is not going to show. But oh well I have, I am currently accomplishing my mission. But to say, I would have really made the best werewolf, the way I plunged at her when she dropped the glass was wonderful.I made sure I aimed for her hair. Xavier had spent so much time on these beautiful curls on my head and she dared to pour some disgusting alcoholic beverages on my beautiful curls?!!Let me explain to you. I was currently pulling her hair like a crazy person. I managed to get hold of a huge piece of her hair before I felt Xavier's manly arm pull me away from her with a huge church of hair in her hands.She managed to stand back on her
Billionaire Bride Eighteen
I badly wanted to push him away and smack his face but his sweet lips were something to die for. A simple touch could send you to the greater heavens. But I'm still wondering how a single kiss could send butterflies down your tummy. And I also can't seize to ask myself this question, why doesn't Duncan's kiss feel this way? But, what was I doing? I came here to help Duncan not flirt with Mr grumpy here! I pulled away from the kiss standing up from the bed immediately, I can't actually believe he kissed me!I didn't realize that out of anger I had landed him another slap on his smooth face. I gasped when I saw my handprint on his red cheek.I felt the need to apologize but I restrained myself from speaking."I deserved that," He said briefly as he stared at me. "Can we go back out there, I'm sure the media is waiting for us to arrive," I said as I moved in front of him.The room was becoming suffocating for the both of us. "Yeah, After you," He gestured at me to go out first.Why s

Surprises, jump scares, and horror movies, I hated because they always caught me unexpectedly. I try my best to avoid them in all means possible. Susie had been my best friend since childhood and will always be my best friend. She was aware of everything I hated and everything I loved. I didn't understand why she would legit just do this to me. She knows very well I have a very weak heart. She was there all along. Susie sat on the bed with a pretty crappy smile. At this moment my heart was beating like a drum, the adrenaline that pumped through my vein was enough for me to run from Chicago to New York. "Why would you do that?!" I questioned before I threw my bag at her."Life is short, enjoy it to the fullest!" She said with the sweetest smile I had ever since in my life."I could choke you to death!" I yelled at her as I approached her. The woman in front of me brought out the worst in me. She was like a bittersweet medicine, she is toxic and adorable, lovely and dark at the sa

I woke up with the scream of my name. "Hailey!"Jerking up from Susie's bed, I turned to face her. I had no idea I had slept off in her room. "What? What? What is it? Why did you scream my name like that?""Do you want to sleep your whole day away?" She replied to me and rolled her eyes at me as she walked to her window, and opened the curtains."Was that why you had to scream my name that way?" I replied, eyeing her a bit. Susie sure had her way of annoying someone. She could wake up the dead with her level of annoyance.She turned to face me, arms akimbo and just stared at me in some way. "I bet you don't even know what's going on in your life at the moment."I was confused by what she said. Why wouldn't I know what's going on in my life? Of course, I had just left my grandma for a 'job' in another city entirely, and I'm stuck here for the next three months with Xavier and his family pretending to be his wife. So, what else am I missing? "What do you mean?" I finally said to her, a
Billionaire Bride Twenty-One
It was silent as all five of us sat at the dining table eating breakfast. As usual, they served the table like we had a feast. I was gradually beginning to get used to that type of lifestyle, but I made sure that won't stop me from eating normally whenever I eventually leave this place.It's still three months, Hailey. You haven't even married him yet.I sighed and looked at their faces one after the other. Zach was focused on his meal as if he was truly enjoying it. He looked like he had no worries at all. Brenda on the other hand had a stoic face on, which made me roll my eyes. As I stared at her, I remember how she had told the media I was a good daughter to her. So much pretense in one family. My eyes then darted to Xavier. He stole glances at me from time to time and whenever I caught him and our eyes met, he'd immediately break eye contact and continue with his meal. He looked a little disturbed though, but I cared less. Not even after what he said to me that morning. My eyes th

"Aww you look so beautiful," Laura commented, dabbing her eyes with a napkin as she pretended to cry. I laughed and twirled in my Cinderella wedding dress, feeling every bit like a Princess.Susie pouted, sitting on my bed and rolling her eyes. It had been a month since Xavier had dropped in on my launch day. We were finally getting married. A real marriage. I was super excited. Finally, Xavier and I would be together without the influence of the people or his mother. It was thrilling. It seemed that I was finally having my dream life. And it had been a long time coming. After all the betrayal, hurt, heartbreak and pain I had to endure. I deserved this. I deserved a happily ever after. And I was going to cling onto it forever. Susie however seemed less excited than I did. Which was quite understandable. "Aww, are you still sad that I'll be going for the honeymoon?" I teased and she huffed at my words. "Do you guys have to go that far? Who's going to do the accounts? You know numb

"When will you go to the Cafe?" He asked, his hands still doing crazy things on my skin. "Uhm... In an hour." I murmured sliding my hands under my breasts to prop them up further into his touch. "We've got time." He said, capturing my lips again, this time for an even deeper kiss. He tasted familiar. His kisses were hot and filled with so much passion, I thought I would combust. Hanging on to him tightly, I moaned as he slipped his tongue into mine, stroking and clashing with mine several times. "I need you," I whispered between kisses as we broke apart to catch our breaths at intervals. "We can't go too far baby," he hummed, lifting me up by the waist until my legs were wrapped around his. Striding towards my bed, he lowered himself to the bed, sitting with me on his lap. "Why not?" I protested, taking hold of my shirt and dragging it off. Xavier's breath hitched at the sight of my babies encased in a lacy black bra. "Oh Hailey," he murmured, unclipping the underwear behind m

"What?" I exclaimed, trying to wrap my head around what was happening right in front of me. Xavier smiled, his hands covered mine and he held them between us, holding my eyes. "I love you," He said again. "I don't want to let you go. I cannot do so. I tried this past month," he chuckled. "Let's just say more women would love my head on a pike right now." "But you... You always... You never..." I was a rambling mess at this point.His smile turned sad. "I know." He kissed my hands gently. "And I'll spend every day of my life making atonement for all I have said and done to you Hailey, only if you allow me to." "We're not married anymore. You don't have to do this to pacify me-""Technically, we are still married. I haven't divorced you yet." He grinned. "I could divorce you." Xavier chuckled and pulled me to his chest, wrapping his arms around me. "And then I'll marry you all over again." "Don't get cocky. I haven't said yes." I snapped, sinking into the warmth of his body despit

Without hesitation, I pushed the door open and stormed in. The scene before me was a surprised Xavier, lying on his bed with his hand wrapped around his junk. Holy smokes.My cheeks flamed up and I murmured a quick "Sorry," before turning to run out of the room. "Close the door Hailey," came his calm voice before I could slip out. "I'm covered, you can look now." Ashamed of my thoughts and actions, because who barges into someone's privacy thinking horrid things about them, I turned around slowly. "I'm sorry," I grumbled. "I heard sounds, I thought..." That you were balls deep in some woman? Bah, if I said that, he would probably laugh his head off."You thought?" Xavier urged, rising suddenly and I yelped in surprise. "I won't cover up if you don't tell me what you thought, Hailey." The deep timbre of his voice when he called my name had my thighs clenching with need. He was just a few meters away from me. Unclad. We were alone. The realization came with torrents of desire fl
Billionaire Bride Ninety-five
Whatever it was that the two men had said to each other, nobody knew. And I doubted anyone would ever know. All we knew was Walter threw a punch at Xavier and even though he had been able to dodge it in time, there was no way Xavier Lowell would let it slide. He threw one at Walter's jaw in return. And a brawl broke out. "Oh shit," Susie cussed. "I'm guessing that means we can go out now," I murmured and raced out of the cafe. "Stop it right now!" The men, however, pig heads that they were, continued fighting as if I wasn't screaming my guts out, running from the other side of the road. "Stop it right now!" I yelled again when I reached them, trying to pry Xavier from pounding Walter's head to bits. "Xavier! Xavier stop it! Please!" But something had possessed Xavier and it seemed it wouldn't let go. For someone who had always cared what the people would think, he was acting quite recklessly. I latched onto his arm, tugging at it. "You're causing a scene!"That got him to let go

My world turned upside down and for a minute I just stared at him confused about how to react. Did he need me? What the hell was happening at the moment?! It better not be a prank. Fuck it, prank or not, I had work to do and he had to get out of here. So instead of swooning and falling at his feet, I opted for a second option.I laughed and shook my head. "Okay, seriously, why are you here?" Hurt slashed across his face and I was taken aback. I had never seen him look so vulnerable before and it was unsettling. He's pretending. A voice in my head whispered. You know he is. I knew. I did. But that didn't make me feel any better. Why would he need to pretend? "I..." A shadow fell on his face and he shook his head. The vulnerable look in his eyes was gone and replaced with the amused expression he always wore around me. I wasn't sure which one made me hurt worse.Taking a few steps back, he surveyed the kitchen and clasped his hands behind his back. "I just wanted to see. The news

"Sir!" I hissed, not wanting to yell because I didn't want to call people's attention to us. One paparazzi was already too much to handle. If all of them came to the counter, my first launch day would all be in the mud. The man in the hoodie stopped trying to get in through the side door. And then he lifted his head, staring me in the face with familiar dark blue eyes that grazed my entire body and sent me into freeze mode. "Xavier," I whispered, blinking rapidly to be sure he wasn't an apparition. Xavier stood before me, dressed in a hoodie and cargo pants. The last clothing I would ever imagine he would wear in public. It seemed he didn't want people to recognize him. "Let me in Hailey." He murmured. Susie gasped behind me when she heard his voice and shook her head. "Don't you dare! Go fuck yourself, Xavier." He ignored her, his eyes holding mine and sending my brain into overdrive. What was he doing here? He was not supposed to be anywhere near me! He was supposed to be in V

I eyed the crowd that had formed outside the cafe from the glass walls warily glanced back at Susie and mouthed "Oh my God." We stood in the cafe, setting the tables and getting ready for the launch which was in twelve minutes! To say I was nervous was an understatement. This was a huge deal for me. For Laura and Susie too. And it did not help that ever since I had stepped out of the house without the blonde wig, half the people we met on the road recognized me. One of them must have tipped off the paparazzi because that would explain how there were so many people with cameras and recorders, eagerly waiting. "I'm screwed," I told Susie and she shrugged beside me. "You knew this would happen." She said, I glared at her. "That doesn't mean I can't be nervous about it! Everyone will have questions! I can't handle a crowd that big!" She grinned and slid an arm over my shoulders. "You're not alone, woman. We got you. Look and you got Walter too." I looked in the direction she was tip

It was barely morning when I stumbled into Susie's car, my face stricken with tears. The sun had just begun to rise, lighting up the sky slowly. I slammed the door close and thankfully, Susie asked no questions. She simply drove out of Xavier's townhouse and sped down the road. Placing a hand over my mouth, I sobbed furiously, my head leaning against the window. It wasn't supposed to hurt so much. Leaving him finally. It wasn't supposed to feel like a part of me had been torn away and left behind with the many miles that increased between us. I closed my eyes as I recalled when I had woken up. It was my phone ringing somewhere in the house. I hadn't the slightest clue where I was at first but Xavier's peaceful snores and his heavy arm around me reminded me quickly. It had taken quite a while to slip away from the bed without awakening him and at first, I hadn't even been able to walk properly. Even now as I sat in the car, I was so sore. The caller had been Susie. We had planned th
