Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 54 : On My Own
*Lily*The tension between William and me was becoming heated, and I could sense that we were headed for an argument. "William, you planned a full evening of events for us, and now you can't make any of them?" "I'm sorry, Lily. It breaks my heart that I can't go with you right now, but I’ve got to deal with this stuff at work. It can’t wait… I promise I’ll make it up to you." I could tell William was disappointed, but it didn't completely remove my frustration. "Fine. I'll explore a few smaller museums alone while you attend to your work commitments." I proceeded to grab my pocketbook and leave the hotel. "Lily, you can't go out there roaming the streets of Paris without anyone to protect you." He gently grabbed my arm, attempting to prevent me from leaving. "I will be fine, William. I saw a few art galleries on the way in and can walk to them. I'm not going to stay in this hotel all day when we’re in Paris and there’s a whole city waiting to be explored." I close

Chapter 55: Who is Jean? William I felt deflated after talking to Grace on the phone. It was unbelievable that my stakeholders were planning a coup. Despite my anger, I knew I had to focus on other things. I needed to make it up to Lily and had already planned for us to spend time at Le Cinq. The restaurant has excellent food and a luxurious romantic atmosphere that I hope will help me regain her trust.Upon her return to the hotel, Lily approached me with a beaming smile and planted a surprise kiss on my lips. I experienced a sense of relief when she displayed affection towards me and hoped it was an indicator that she had moved past her state of agitation. "Um, are you okay?" Unsure as to why she was now calm. "Yes. I'm fine. I know I was upset earlier, but I decided I will make the best of the trip no matter what. I can only focus on what I have control over." She smiled and walked to her suitcase."I have a wonderful dinner planned for us. You are goi

*Lily*"William, sweetie, did you hear me?" "Huh? Sorry, what did you say?" he looked at me, surprised. "I said, what do you think about checking out a few museums after my interview tomorrow?" William appeared to be preoccupied the whole night. He seemed lost in a daze. Am I boring him? I bet it's Eva; she's probably up to her old antics again. "How's Eva?" I asked, hoping to probe for further information as to whether she's engaged in any recent behavior that may be causing the disengagement. "She's good," he nodded."Just good?" I replied with a sense of intrigue."We actually had brunch a few days ago, and she apologized for her behavior. I’d been meaning to tell you but got caught up with work. It slipped my mind." Despite William's comments about how well things were going with Eva, he still didn't appear enthusiastic, which I was starting to find odd and unlike him.I finished the rest of my dessert and tried getting him to talk again. "Oh, did I tell y

*Lily*The sun pierced through the curtains as the morning approached. I opened my eyes, letting it sink in that my dream was a reality. 'I can't believe I'm waking up in Paris.' I sat up and yawned, noticing that William wasn't beside me. I realized I didn’t wake up when he came to bed and wondered if he ended up sleeping on the couch.After wiping my eyes, I headed to the living room suite, curious whether William was still in the hotel. I searched the living room, guest room, and kitchen but couldn't find him.'Surely, he wouldn't have left without saying anything.' As I prepared to walk to the bedroom, grab my phone and call him, William opened the bathroom and was fully dressed. He wore a champagne-colored Fiore jacket, silk black Armani blouse, and black slacks. 'Damn! Was he being interviewed or me?' I shouldn't have been shocked by his dazzling appearance. William always dressed as if he had just stepped out of GQ magazine. "Well, don't you look handsome

*William*As I waited for Lily to finish her interview, a nagging feeling in my gut was telling me that the individual she had mentioned, Jean, might not be trustworthy. Glancing down at my watch, I noticed that I had a bit of extra time before her interview ended. I needed to learn more about him.Sitting at my desk, I opened my laptop and began searching for information on Jean. Though my initial findings were limited to a few pictures of him outside art galleries across different countries, I didn't let that discourage me. I continued with my search and eventually came across some informative videos of Jean delivering lectures on various artworks within those same galleries. It was clear from the videos that he possessed an impressive knowledge of the art world, but I wasn't going to let that deter my suspicions.I studied him carefully, looking for any signs that would confirm my red flags. I could sense the deceit in his eyes, and I couldn't wait to catch him in a lie. I wou

*Lily*Upon completing my interview with Allure Magazine, I glanced at my phone to see a missed call from Jean. A wave of concern washed over me as I realized that William, who is usually punctual and reliable, had not contacted me.I stood on the sidewalk and looked up and down the street. The unease in my chest was growing. My thoughts were consumed with how impressed everyone was with my interview and artwork, yet I wondered why William hadn't joined me yet. I thought about calling him, but the emotions of frustration and hurt made it hard to bring myself to do so. So, I waited, lost in thought, hoping the limo would arrive soon.After much contemplation as to whether to call William or not, I made the decision to reach out to Jean instead and ask why he called. Maybe he would like to grab a bite to eat together and catch up. I took my phone from my purse and returned Jean's call. He answered on the second ring."Hi, Jean. I'm sorry I missed your call, but I just fini

*Lily*I stared at the majestic beauty that was one of the most fantastic wonders of the world, the Eiffel Tower. Was I really here? My body felt numb and I wondered if I'd need to pinch myself to bring some feeling back to my limbs. I just couldn't believe that I was finally here able to bask in the breathtaking view of the most famous symbol of Paris, dare I even say France. My eyes swept the slight pyramidal curves of the tower that I had only ever seen in pictures. Pictures did not compare to the real thing. The four side pillars met on the second floor joining together to form a single pylon stretching vertically all the way to the top. The orange setting sun was like a beautiful backdrop behind the Eiffel Tower reflecting beautiful hues on the clouds above. I felt William squeeze my hand, bringing me back to the present after taking in such a sight. I couldn't recall if I had reached for his hand while looking at the Eiffel Tower… or had he initiated it? I looked down at

*Lily*Closing our hotel door behind us, I could no longer keep my hands off William. I really hadn't been trying anyways, the minute we had escaped from the elevator our hands danced over each other's bodies. He pushed me up against the door as he grabbed my breast and brushed a thumb over my nipple. I moaned as he circled it with every intention of teasing me."William," I groaned as my head rolled back. "Yes, Lily, say my name, louder though," William encouraged me and he began to suck at the nape of my neck. I could feel his tongue lick my skin and the start of a new hickey beginning to bruise where he had left his mark. I reached for his belt but he knocked my hand away. "No, let me have my way with you first."I sucked in a breath as he lifted me and carried me into the bedroom placing me on the bed with care before he straddled me. His eyes met mine as he swept his hair back. William pursed his lips as he spoke to me, "You, my darling Lily, have looked too delecta

*Lily*With the wedding day already here, I felt jittery as I prepared to walk down the aisle toward my beloved, William. It had been a busy morning filled with preparations for hair and makeup and I was more than ready to get the show on the road. I could feel the excitement in the air surrounded by our friends and family. My excitement was apparent too, with adrenaline pumping throughout my entire being.My heart had been pumping fast as I stepped into the foyer, waiting for the doors to open so I could make my debut. My heart was also overflowing with love for William and the joy he brought me. As tradition usually went, we hadn't seen each other that day yet and I missed seeing his face. I couldn't wait to embrace him and marry him. I heard the organ start its tune, the music carrying to the foyer where I was waiting. We had picked out our songs together and I recognized it immediately. The doors opened slowly and I saw the audience members stand and turn to face me. Holy sh
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 79 : The Perfect Dress
*Lily*Sometimes life just needed a welcome distraction. I knew my life had been a roller coaster lately, and I gladly jumped at the chance for a change in routine. My mission today was to find a wedding dress.This was all surreal to me. Little old me marrying a handsome and amazing man like William. I needed to find the perfect dress!I couldn't keep our engagement a secret with the tabloids already running many heated articles about us. I had called friends and family to tell them of our engagement, hoping that I’d reach them before the news articles had. I would have rather them hear from me or William directly. I wasn't sure if I'd ever get used to this much publicity.Having run to a nearby coffee shop to meet my dear friend, Farrah, I awaited her arrival sipping on a caramel latte. I had been apprehensive to look up on Google what the current fashion wedding dress trends were. I wasn't the most fashionable person in the world, and Farrah had helped me often in this realm
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 78 : Well-Wishers
*William*After spending the night together making love, I found myself at work the next day still somewhat happily in shock. On Lily's finger rested the ring that I had given her when I asked her to marry her. I was lucky to find a woman like her at my age. She was everything I wanted and more. The second my foot stepped over the office threshold, Grace Kim smiled over at me with a knowing look. She had known about the dinner plans, but she must have found out either from Lily or Jim about our engagement with the way she grinned at me. She licked her lips and had just finished up a phone call placing the receiver back in its holder.She stood and greeted me, smoothing her dress. "Mr. Shaw, congratulations are in order! I've heard the wonderful news about your engagement to Ms. Lily Matthews. I hope you both are happy and spend many long years together. I had a feeling she was the one the minute I heard about her.""Well, thank you very much, Grace. Your kind words mean a lot
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 77 : Engagement Celebrations
*Lily*As we walked into our front foyer, we kicked our shoes off and William eagerly watched me as I took my jacket off. He seemed to groan out loud watching me stretch out of the fabric and before I could hang it, he pushed me up against the wall groaning against me. His erection was thrust hard against my soft thigh as he breathed in my ear.Whispering softly he said, "I have to worship you, my love, stay right here. My new little fiance.""But William, I want to make you happy too," I whined but he shushed me holding a finger to my lips.I gasped as he encouraged me to flatten against the wall behind me and then seized my lips with his own, roughly kissing me. I kissed him back feverishly, placing my hands on his pecs, starting to feel his muscles and massage him. He felt amazing with his sexy, hard body against my own. I wanted him badly and wondered what plans he had in store for me.William pulled my dress over my head and continued kissing me. He kissed down my neck a
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 76 : Joy and Elation
*Lily*Looking into William's eyes I could hear his voice trembling with anticipation. No wonder he had been so distracted today. He slowly brought a velvet-covered box out of his suit pocket and my eyes widened in shock. This was it, it was really happening. It had to be exactly what I thought it was, a marriage proposal.I couldn’t believe my eyes. He wanted to marry me? Little old me?William smiled at me as he spoke, "I've often wondered what our future would hold. And then I realized we have power over our future, and I took control of it. Lily, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want your love, support, and time. I want to be with you forever."My heart seemed to jump in my throat as I eyed the box and looked back at him. My mouth opened incredulously. I was at a loss for words, the joy exploding in my chest."Lily Matthews, will you do the honor of marrying me? Would you be my wife? Would you spend the rest of your days with me?" William asked as his voice
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 75 : A Perfect Night
*Lily*The fall of my footsteps clicked on the pavement as the sidewalk lay before me. I was on my way to meet William and was excited to share the news. The interview I had with the magazine was finally published! It had been released today and potential client inquiries had come pouring in through my phone. It was an amazing day, I couldn't help but feel thrilled that my work inspired others and caused them to reach out.I clutched a copy of the magazine in my hand proudly. I felt like I was on top of the world, or rather on cloud nine. I couldn't wait to show William the magazine article.I stared into the tall windows of the Italian food restaurant where William said he'd meet me. It was extremely elegant with long tall blue curtains swept off to the side. I could hear the typical Italian music playing and it sounded so romantic. The wait staff bustled around inside with pressed white and black uniforms with a professional air about them. This was a stunning and fancy restaur
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 74 : Reflection
*William*After arriving back in New York, Lily wanted to focus on her paintings. I could do nothing but oblige because it must have come as a welcome distraction. Paris had been a dream until Jean Laurent ruined our visit. That mother fucker got what was coming to him. I was glad to put even more distance between him and Lily. I'd protect her with my life if I had to, I wouldn't lose her again.Pretty much the second we were back in the States, my friend Jim asked me to go golfing with him. Jim and I had been longtime friends, practically since young teenage boys. We had been through some interesting times together pranking classmates, causing mayhem for our parents, and throwing some wild parties. Now that we were older we mainly smoked cigars or played golf. We weren't as wild as we had been once upon a time.I owed him after the favor I called in while I was in Paris. I knew he’d risked a lot by sharing information with me but it was what helped me confirm Jean Laurent’s iden
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 73 : Aftermath
*Lily*I fully submerged myself in the warm water to wash the slime out of my hair. Having no shower or real toilet for those hours I was with Jean had taken its toll on me. I squirted a large amount of shampoo and conditioner into my hair, scrubbing hard. William swatted my hands away as he began to massage my scalp and temples.."I said I want to help, I'm not leaving you alone another second," he said sitting on the edge of the tub focused entirely on me.I blinked with surprise and dropped my arms back into the warm, bubble-filled water. I hadn't taken him seriously but I chastised myself now knowing when William said something he meant it. I felt spoiled knowing most men just said whatever women wanted to hear, while William always followed through with his words and put them into action. I sighed feeling his fingers scrub away, and I could finally rest comfortably."I'm so happy you are back with me," he said, plunging his hands into the water to wash away the suds. "You
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 72 : An Arrest
*Lily*I sighed with relief hearing Jean Laurent being placed into the cop car. I didn't register what all of the voices were saying around us. Only William. His hands hadn't left my body, touching me everywhere as if to make sure I was actually there. We hadn't said a word about our previous fight, it had been forgotten.I still couldn't believe I was out of the basement. I had been rescued by the exact person I had wanted to see. William and I were finally reunited, our embrace had offered me a sense of safety and solace in the midst of the chaos. His arms had felt so large as they tucked me closer into his body. I was safe again.I frowned trying to remember what had happened, like the trauma was already being blotted from my memory. From what I could recall, William had thrown Jean off of me in a fit of pure rage. I had never seen William like that and if it had been a different circumstance I would have been shocked. I realized now how much William cared for me the more time
