Entangled with the Billionaire The Aftermath
Scarlett lost track of time and any sensible thought the moment she lost sight of the taillights of Cameron’s car as he drove away. Nothing made sense, just like that lonely morning in Paris. Tears were flowing freely down her cheeks, fresh ones brimming in her eyes, her thoughts were all over the place. Cameron knew, somehow he knew. For how long, she didn’t know, but he had a test, he had done a DNA test.She raked through her head trying to figure it all out, and it made sense that he knew the very first time he saw Levi. Yes, Levi had all of his features, but how could he have been so sure, how... Yet, somehow, the weeks that followed after that, he had pretended like nothing happened, like he didn’t just find out something as huge as that, why...What did it mean? She thought to herself, what was he going to get out of all this? What was he planning? The more she thought about it, the pang in her chest heightened.She didn’t know how she got to her house, but she was standing at t
Entangled with the Billionaire The Blue Shirt.
“I think you should try on the cotton blue shirt!” Lucious suggested, failing to hide the excitement in his voice. He turned to one of the assistants who was helping set up the lighting. “What do you think, Blake?”Blake merely shrugged.Lucious dismissed him with a wave of the hand. “Trust me, Mr. Grayson...”“You know how much I hate colors,” Cameron protested.“I do, but there’s something about you in a casual cotton blue shirt that speaks to the average person. It gives off a normal boss, hard worker, someone’s daddy vibe...” Lucious trailed off as Cameron almost choked.Cameron shot up from his chair. “Are you okay? Can I help you?”“I’m fine,” Cameron replied in a barely audible voice, grabbing a glass of water and sipping.“Trust me, while the silk black shirts ooze pure class, there’s something about this one...” Lucious trailed off. “I can’t quite place my finger on it.”“If you say so then...” Cameron conceded and began to unbutton his shirt. “Remind me, Lucious, what’s the
Entangled with the Billionaire Ignoring Her.
Despite all the emotions she was feeling inside, she couldn’t help but gawk at him as the photographers clicked pictures of him in different poses. She forced herself to look away, and that was when she saw Lucious staring at him with a look that could be better described as adoration and worship. She turned to the photographer, who was smiling too hard. She couldn’t tell if it was normal excitement or the kind that Lucious was feeling.She turned to the assistant, who seemed to be the only one in clear headspace among them. He simply moved about with a blank expression on his face. Scarlett rubbed her neck. If she didn’t find a way to put this damned attraction to him behind her, it would be hard for her to make smart decisions concerning Levi.“I think we’ve got it!” the photographer announced.Lucious frowned. “Are you sure?”“Come, check the photos...”“Mr. Grayson, are you...”“I’m fine, Lucious,” he answered curtly.Lucious rushed towards the photographer, the assistant hovering
Entangled with the Billionaire The Children's Hospital (1)
Scarlett almost jumped up in excitement when Cameron walked past her and asked her to meet him at the parking lot. She squealed in excitement just as the doors closed shut and began to pack all her things.A week had gone by, and yet she had still not gotten the chance to speak with Cameron. The few times she tried to go to him, he shut her down immediately. There was a time he did it in front of a small group; she had almost died from embarrassment that day. It didn’t deter her, however. It was important that they had the talk; every day that went by with him not speaking to her was agonizing. At some point, he stopped showing up at work until today.She rushed down the parking lot, and thankfully he was alone with his security detail. She closed the distance between them and exhaled; this was her chance to talk with him alone. Surely whatever anger he felt would have been long gone by now, wouldn’t it...“Mr. Grayson...”He didn’t acknowledge her.“Cameron...” Her voice was barely a
Entangled with the Billionaire The Children's Hospital (2)
“It’s a pleasure to have you here, Mr. Grayson. I’m Dr. Tucker,” a short middle-aged man extended a hand to him.Cameron took it and shook firmly. “The pleasure is all mine. I just need a quick tour of the hospital.”“Of course, I and my team are here to help.”Lucious leaned closer and whispered in his ear, “We need to get you camera-ready.”“There’ll be no need for any of that, Lucious. I’m here for the children,” he answered simply.Scarlett was standing behind them and was able to catch that part of their conversation, which made her look up at him in awe.They handed each of them a scrub, a hair net, and a glove. They first walked through the administrative block of the hospital. Scarlett gawked at him as he listened attentively to the doctor’s explanations. She realized he took it seriously. This wasn’t one of those mandatory performative kindness acts he had to show as a celebrity in the media eye; he was genuinely invested in this. She had a newfound admiration for him as she
Entangled with the Billionaire Nothing is Promised
“Scarr, any luck today?” Clarissa asked as soon as the doors opened. She stared at her in surprise, “Okay, this is the first time this week you’ve come back home with a smile on your face. Other days, you either had a frown or you were just crying, so I’m going to assume you guys had the talk, how did it go?”Scarlett plopped down on the sofa, “No, he wouldn’t speak to me at all...”“So what has you grinning from ear to ear?” Clarissa asked with a frown.“I spent the day at a children’s hospital.”Her frown deepened, “I don’t see how that’s a source of excitement, normal hospitals are depressing, I’m assuming a children’s hospital is even worse...”“Yes, yes, it was, but it was amazing to watch Cameron, to see him in a different light.” Scarlett explained, “He is wonderful with children.” She added and leaned on the sofa. “And if the look on Lucious’s face was anything to go by when they walked out of the doctor’s office, it is safe to assume that he made a hefty donation, all of this
Entangled with the Billionaire The Talk (1)
“Scarlett, I promise you the house is squeaky clean, and by the way, he has already been here before...”“Unannounced, I need to make an impression,” she cut in.“But why?”She thought hard about it. “He needs to see Levi is well taken care of…”Clarissa chuckled. “Just that?”“What else would there be?”“I don’t know, it looks like you’re trying to impress him for… well, other reasons…”She groaned. “Just go away, Mom!”“You’re the one who asked me to be here…” She giggled and went into the kitchen.Scarlett resumed fussing over the tablecloth; she was anxious. She had no assurance that Cameron would show up; he didn’t call or text, nothing. Also, she was worried about how it would go if he did show up.Admittedly, it was more than simply impressing him; it was the talk. It was important; it could change their lives forever. She stared at Levi, who was dozing in his baby chair. He was the sweetest little boy, and the thought of their lives changing caused her to feel a pang in her ch
Entangled with the Billionaire The Talk (2)
Cameron took a piece after offering his thanks and bit into the cookie. His face contorted into a frown. He looked up at Scarlett, but nothing seemed amiss. When he turned to Clarissa, she had a hint of a smirk on her lips. "Thank you so much, Ma’am, the cookie is perfectly salted."Scarlett’s eyes widened in panic. “Mum!” She took a piece out of his bowl and bit into it. “Mum, why would you?” She spat it out and pushed the bowl away from him.“I don’t know,” Clarissa responded. “I hated to see you hurting every day you came home from work, and I thought of a clever way to get back at him.”“Did Scarlett tell you everything? If I remember correctly, she was the one who hurt me,” he replied.Scarlett lowered her gaze.Clarissa nodded. “I know, and I’m sorry for the cookies.”“I thought it was funny.”She handed him a new bowl. “You’re not innocent in all of this. You took hair from my grandson's head without my permission.”“No harm was done to him. I took it from his comb,” he said in

Entangled with the Billionaire The Devil
Lucious arrived fashionably late, as always, for Mrs. Grayson’s birthday celebration. Through no fault of his own, his flight had been delayed. He rushed in when the party was already underway, grabbed a glass of champagne, and blended in with the merry crowd. His eyes searched the room for familiar faces, and then he spotted her: Scarlett Knowles.She looked beautiful in the blue and white floral dress she was wearing. He rushed towards her, grabbed her shoulders from behind, and exclaimed, “Hello, Scarlett!”She turned around sharply, her eyes widening in excitement. “Lucious! You got here late. I was beginning to think you wouldn’t come anymore!”He rolled his eyes. “I had the most hectic flight, you won’t believe it…” He let out a big exhale and fanned himself with his hands. “The flight got delayed, and we encountered some difficulties on the way here. I should have just listened to Mr. King's advice and flown private…”Scarlett gave him a knowing gaze. “Mr. King, huh?”Lucious g
Entangled with the Billionaire Happy birthday!
“Happy birthday to you...” Everyone's voices rose together in a slightly off-key rendition of "Happy Birthday."Belinda beamed, glowing as her family and friends sang together for her. They were all gathered at a hall in the resort. Her birthday celebration was a small, cozy event. At the end of the rendition, everyone stepped forward to personally wish her a happy birthday and hug her.Her husband, Mr. Grayson walked up to her, beaming with smiles. He opened a jewelry box and revealed a diamond necklace. “I had one especially made just for you, there’s only one special gem, just like you...” He leaned close and kissed the top of her head.There were a lot of "aww's" from the crowd.She shut her eyes. “Thank you, my love.”Her grandchildren, Loretta and Levi, had brought gifts for her: handmade cards and letters. It was the cutest thing. Levi’s gifts were mostly illegible scribblings, while Loretta’s were more meaningful, but she loved and appreciated every one of them.Cameron and Va
Entangled with the Billionaire Siblings
Vanessa walked into the lounge, her hands folded across her chest, “Cameron! Cameron!” She yelled aloud as she walked in.He rolled his eyes, “Nessa, it says relaxing lounge for a reason,” he gestured towards the sign at the door.She glanced at it and back at her scruffy-looking brother, “Yes, I can see that it clearly says relaxing lounge and has a no alcohol policy so what’s that about?” she pointed at the half-full bottle of whisky by his side.He exhaled, “Does it matter? We bought out the whole place. The rules don’t apply anymore.”She walked up to him, “I don’t think that’s how rules work, but you’ve never been one to abide by any rule ever, so I can’t say I’m surprised.”He groaned, the last thing, okay maybe not the last thing. The second to last thing he wanted to hear was his sister’s bickering. The last thing was definitely his mother's voice chiding him for something, “What are you here for, Vanessa?”She gave him a long look. He lay on the couch, his hair overgrown, spo
Entangled with the Billionaire Club Dazzle 3
Cameron bit down on his lips, liking the way she called out his name softly. It made him rock hard. “I want to bend you over right now, right here, and make love to you until your body shakes in excitement. I’d like to hear you cry out my name as you beg me to make love to you, knowing no other man will ever give you pleasure like I would, knowing it will never be enough…”Scarlett let out a small squeak. He spun her around until she was facing him and pulled her close. Her breasts were pressed up against him, almost spilling out of her dress. He stared at them with a burning look of desire in his eyes.Jaxon was fuming where he stood. Somewhere in the middle of the song, he had stopped pretending like he wanted to dance. He just stopped and stared at them. His hands were clenched into fists. Cameron’s hands were roaming, whispering into Scarlett’s ears, and she looked like she was enjoying it, every bit of it. Her eyes were shut, and she was leaning into Cameron. She had no fear for
Entangled with the Billionaire Club Dazzle 2
It was going to be fun, alright! Cameron gulped down two more shots, loving the burn of the liquid as it trickled down his throat. This was what he needed. He turned around to leave. Jaxon finalized their order before he left.Cameron was only halfway towards Scarlett and Hadley when a familiar song came on the speakers. He stopped in his tracks to listen, his lips curling into a small smile. He looked up to meet those bright blue eyes staring at him with flushed cheeks. He knew exactly what she was thinking about at the moment. He walked up to her and grabbed her, “Shall I have the first dance, Scarr?”Scarlett looked around in worry.Hadley opened her mouth in protest, “Cam—”“Oh, it’s only an old-fashioned dance, love,” he cut in. “It will be good for us, remember?” he used her exact words against her.Hadley frowned.“What the hell, man?” Jaxon protested when he saw Cameron was holding hands with her.Cameron spun around to face Jaxon, still holding onto her. “Oh, it’s only a danc

As they got out of the car, Hadley leaned forward, cupped his cheeks, and kissed him, “This will be good for us.”Cameron stared at her hesitantly.“I promise.” She leaned into him, grabbed his hand, and put it around her waist, “You’ve been stuck up all day, overthinking, worrying...” She pulled at his cheeks, “You’re beginning to have worry lines. You’re in need of a good rest…”He gave her a look.She burst into soft laughter, “Yes, you need rest and you’ll rest later tonight. You’re also in need of some fun. I don’t think you have enjoyed any bit of our trip here. You can’t keep wallowing in your problems, let loose and let’s party!”He glanced at the neon flashing sign; it read Club Dazzle. They had driven a long way to find the club. Apparently, it was a hotspot for tourists. He could easily blend in without being noticed, and maybe that was what he needed. A night without Scarlett, a wild night drinking and dancing might just be enough to stop thinking about her. He hardly beli
Entangled with the Billionaire Love petals
Jaxon peered into the room with a frown on his face, “Are you sure the petals are enough?” he asked.The young brunette girl nodded, “There isn’t a lot to work with here. The twin-sized beds don't really help..."” She trailed off.His frown deepened, “Have you checked with the staff? Are there no available rooms?”She nodded, “This resort is fully booked by the Graysons. The neighboring lodges are fully booked at this time of year. The nearest hotel room is two hours away…”Damn you, Cameron! Jaxon cursed under his breath. His plans to take Scarlett to bed were getting frustrating each and every day. He hated sleeping next to her yet unable to touch her. She usually slept with her back to him and a blanket covering her head. It was like she was taking extra care to get further away from him as she possibly could. There were no other rooms available, and he had no car to make the two-hour journey.He had to improvise and make do with what he had. He couldn’t continue to hold back, it w
Entangled with the Billionaire Behind Locked Doors
Cameron stepped out for a walk, and this time he truly needed the time alone and the fresh air. He needed to settle with his thoughts and clear his head. He had walked for a long distance, without his phone or his headphones, and then a thought hit him, Levi! He had been so caught up in his life falling apart; he hadn’t given his son much thought. He walked straight to the suite he shared with Ms. Sharma, and to his amazement, Scarlett was there.She stared wide-eyed at him when he walked in. She was sitting on the bed, with Levi in her arms. Ms. Sharma was giggling about something she said; she stopped when she saw him.Cameron took in her appearance. She was wearing a pale pink robe, her hair was tied up in a messy bun atop her head. Her suite was not far from Levi’s, so she had probably made a quick stop. He had hoped to catch her alone since the first day he spotted her at the airport. He had memorized a long list of questions he hoped to ask her when he did, m
Entangled with the Billionaire Lost in thoughts
Hadley stared at her reflection in the mirror, her blonde hair styled to perfection and cascading in waves down her back. She reapplied her bright red lipstick and admired her reflection in the mirror. She had on lacy lingerie that left next to nothing to the imagination. Of course, it was bright red lingerie. Red was Cameron's favorite color, something she had learned only a few hours ago, which was pathetic. But she wasn’t going to put herself down, not today. Today was great, she and Cameron had gotten a lot closer. She had half-expected him to push her off when she started kissing him earlier, but he didn’t. He let her, all of that in front of Scarlett. She would be dumb not to get the message that Cameron was hers and hers alone.As if on cue, the doors opened, and he walked in. He froze and stared at her. For some unexplainable reason, she was unnerved by his piercing stare. She had done this a couple of times. She was a model, being seductive was her job. S
