Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I had met millions of jerks in my life. But none of them could be compared to Liam James. I mean, what a great audacity he had.
Just as I took my clothes, I got out of his house before the word Mary Celeste.
Date?
I won’t ever go on a date with Liam, my worst enemy.

As I strode out of my house, I saw a black van parked just by the side. I admired it before moving to go. At that exact moment, someone came down from the car. It was a young man. He surprisingly made his way towards me.“Good morning, Miss Nikki.” He said, bowing down to me. My eyes moved in total shock that instant.“Yeah, good morning. May I help you?” I asked suspiciously. I mean what if Liam sent one of his men again to bring me?My phone immediately rung that instant. I looked on the receiver before picking it. It was Margaret, my manager.“Hello,” I called out.“Good morning, Miss Nikki.” She said.“Yeah, morning.” I said, still looking at the young man in front of me.“I’m really sorry it took long. That young man is now your personal driver. He has been assigned by the company to take you wherever you’re going,” She said. My eye brow furrowed on the spot.What?“Yeah, but is th

I couldn’t just believe what I had just heard him say. He wanted me to act like I was his girlfriend. How outrageous! I knew acting like I was his girlfriend meant him kissing me in public and both of us being lovey-dovey. That was something I wasn’t good at.We were bound to fail.Knowing this, I scoffed out loud.“Never! I’m announcing the break up now!” I told him immediately. I spared him one more heated glare before I begun to stomp out of his office.“I will help you with your mum.” He said.That stopped me in my tracks.My eyes narrowed at that exact moment. I didn’t talk to anyone except from Chloe about my mum’s condition of dyslexia and frequent memory loss. So, how did he know? I had given my advance pay from Pink Moda to the doctors to operate on mum. But they said they wouldn’t start until the full payment had been made.“Have you been spying on me, Liam? How did you know about my mum?
Fall in Love with a Billionaire 15. Big James and His Classy Wife
Liam’s PovThere was something about red that made me want to stay. Even though she wanted me to leave her sight, I felt this attraction to her. That was why I couldn’t help but try to make conversations with her, even though I never was the type to make long conversations with anyone.Pretty.She wasn’t pretty.Red had a type of beauty that really stood out from a multitude. This was why I wasn’t surprised when that famous magazine listed her all because of her smile. That was sincere. I had seen her laugh with people from the company a few times. But she just never seemed to smile when she was around me.Although, I don’t blame her. I blame me for being so arrogant the first day we had met on the road. I was raised in as a billionaire and I had met people who were so greedy for money. This was why I had assumed that the cause of her yelling at me was money. But she amazed me

EleanorI had taken mum back to the hospital to have the worthy treatment she deserved. Since I accepted the agreement with Liam James, he sent the agreed amount to me later in the day. I felt really grateful for that gesture, not until I remembered that he was doing it for something in return; me acting as his fake girlfriend.Although, the good thing was that mum would soon be well. You see, I really hated seeing her in that state. At times, she even forgot who I was. Her frequent memory loss was really doing a great damage on her. Daily, she was becoming a stranger to me.Today, I went to work in a plain brown dress. It was a piece mum had given me, so I wore it to feel her presence around me. The moment I had gotten down from the car, a lot of paparazzi surrounded me that instant. My face was welcomed with their cameras as they flashed their evil lights on me.“Miss Nikki, Miss Nikki.” T
Fall in Love with a Billionaire 17. An Order I Can't Refuse
I woke up this morning with a sad feeling all locked up in my chest today. Mum was at the hospital. The doctor told me she would be admitted there until it was time for her surgery. And, thinking of the events that happened yesterday, I felt so dumb.It was all of a sudden Jackson’s face popped in my head. I saw his retreating figure on the roof top yesterday. My brain rebooted all that had happened just yesterday. I sprung up like a wild cat, running to the drawer. I opened it and sighted the white and pretty handkerchief he had told me to keep. Just at the sides of it was two initials I read out:“J.J.” I furrowed my brows, wondering what they actually stood for. J was definitely for Jackson, but what did the other J stand for?I thought, staring at the piece so adorably.I placed the handkerchief in between my nasal openings. They scented exactly like Jackson which was pleasing and drawing to the senses.I returned the napkin to the part o

After our girly chit-chat, Chloe started with her demonic gadgets on me. I couldn’t believe that she had brought all those all because I had a dinner with my worst enemy’s parents.“What the hell are those?” I asked her, furrowing my eyebrows.“An amateur's guide on a good makeover.” She said, with a wink, jingling the big bag in the air. Chloe brought the bag down and unzipped it.There were lots of makeup gadgets inside. Hair curlers, skin creams and various makeup items in there.She started by applying a mask on my face. That took some minutes to do. Next, she gave me a manicure and a pedicure. My body had to withhold her body creams too. She then pushed me into a tub of warm water, which she had also put some roses and body oils inside. My eye brows were arched most of the times, wondering why she performing the grand gesture.When I got out, she started with doing my hair. At least I had tested her curling machine before so I didn’t fre

“Excuse me?” I asked, arching my brows at what Liam’s dad had asked. I definitely didn’t expect him to ask me something so straight forward, reminding me of my actual background.“You heard me right. Your probably poor self has never eaten something like this, have you?” he uttered.“Dad.” Liam cautioned, giving him a stoic glare. For a second, I actually wondered why he was defending me. I hadn’t been good to him most of the times. Did he mean what he just said or this was all part of the act?“It’s ok, Lee.” I told Liam, still playing the girl friend role. My hands moved to his, pretending to sooth it to calm him down.“Tell us about your parent’s profession,” Lady Racheal, who was his mum asked. Sighting her merely, one could have no doubt that she was of high societal status from how she always posed. Neck, so elegant. Even her clothes were coated in diamonds which looked authentic.I could swear I had no idea of what to say. W

What did he mean by that?Did that mean he had feelings?Or was I just imagining things out of the blue?I think I needed a

Liam’s Pov In the right way, Reyes had been dealt with. His properties would be seized by the government, in a few days from now. Which only meant one thing— this was it. “Red…” I trailed on my words, stretching my hands towards her. We were both inside the ambulance van, by each other’s side. Seemed like I took the most injuries, yet somehow, I had been able to wake up and fight. “Liam.” she breathed out, replying. “I-It’s all over…still unbelievable. I thought…I- thought we were all going to…” “Shhh.” I urged, placing a hand on her lip and silencing her. I couldn’t imagine ever losing her, so I couldn’t even bear to think of it. My injury was external, thankfully, she had a few scratches. But she still needed to be checked on, and thoroughly examined. In the other ambulance van was Chloe. Jackson had gone to her,

I screamed and screamed my guts out, but it was all futile. They kept dragging us both, till we reached beside the truck.“Now.”One of them ordered. Some black van pulled over. That instant, black sacks were put over my head. I struggled as I was being put in.“You don’t have to do this, you know.”I muttered. “Shut up, bitch.”Some rough voice sneered, irritatingly.I bit my lips, not knowing what step to take again. My entire body froze, as I stopped struggling out of fear. Hands shaking rapidly, as the van drove speedily.Liam was just beside me and he was still passed out.I wondered how hard the accident hit him. I needed to manipulate our way, out of here, since he won’t wake up.“We can pay three times the amount he’s paying you.”I attempted to convince that again.“Tsk…that’s it.”The va

Never ever would I have thought, that I would be dating this infuriating billionaire.Liam James.Arrogant and cocky…yet, the best thing that ever happened to me.Towards evening, my phone suddenly rang out. Chloe popped up on the screen.“Hello.”I called out to the receiver button. Still in the pink fluffy dress I had just used for shoot, my face was caked in a vampiric makeup. That was more of today’s theme, in Pink Moda.“Eleanor…”She trailed out weakly, in a husky tone. I wriggled my brows. “Are you okay, Clo? You sound really bad,”“I confessed my feelings to him but he rejected me. H-He rejected me, and now…I don’t know what to do.”“I j

Chloe’s PovI took an early leave to go home today, from work.I was so tired. Tired of everything.My shitty love life, and the fact that Jackson, who I presently liked, thought of us as friends and nothing else.These were my thoughts as I entered my car, zooming off at high speed. My thoughts drifted to Orange Summers—the only place that I took comfort in.“Chloe, I see you’re here again?” The bar tender called out, as I dragged a stool, sitting on it. Seemed he was used to my presence so much already.“Yeah Ray… I want four bottles of beer, please.”I ordered, bringing my phone out from my purse and settling it on the bar’s table. I texted Eleanor, but it seemed like she was busy with work too.Of recent, she was the only one I turned to in times of need. Friends at my workplace, only remaine

Thing became insanely perfect afterwards.While I handled with Mr. Reyes, making him believe I would move back with him to Mexico, I moved back to the company’s house.Mr. Reyes had told me that the minute he was done with some personal matters in America, we would be returning to Mexico together.He had sent loads of money into my bank account, telling me this was the start point.“That bastard.”Did he think money could buy a true family’s love? He had to be joking.One morning, just as I was on my way to work, in my disguise outfit, a car pulled over beside me.I totally ignored it, but when it kept on following me, I became insanely creeped out.“HEY!

“It isn’t funny that your dad, a rich billionaire suddenly wants you back?” Chloe’s words reminisced my head. “Nope…I mean my mum lied to me, Chloe. And I, um…don’t even know if I should be trusting her again.” “Why not, she’s your mum. You should know the type of person she is by now, Eleanor.” “Don’t let some stranger, who was never present ruin that nice relationship between you both. She might not have given you the comfortable life but you turned out right,” She had stated. “I mean, look at you girl. You’re a survivor. As Nikki Fox, the world hated on you but you’re still going.” “What am I going to do, Clo?” Almost at the verge of tears, I had asked. “Talk to your mum, it would make more sense if everyone’s on your side, bestie. We have to bring Mr. Reyes down, if there’s some truth in Liam James’ words.” I jeered back to reality, holding my bag as I walked meekly. Th

My thoughts were scrambled with yesterday’s incidence the minute I woke up. I remembered drinking to forget it all, but now… I wanted to sleep once more not to even think of it. Mum’s betrayal. Liam’s words about Mr. Reyes. Did she do it to protect me, like she said? Suddenly, flashbacks of last night spinned in my head. “I had a shitty day, Liam. Please make love to me,” Oh no… “We aren’t even in a relationship anymore, remember?” He had tried convincing me out of it, but I still shamelessly pushed on. “I was overshadowed by my own countenance and wishful thinking, for that I’m sorry,” “Now fuck me,” My eyes widened at my words, with my toes entangling each other. It was no wonder I felt sore in between my legs. We did make love last night, for the second time. And we did it countlessly, till we were exhausted. I hope he didn’t wake up.

I put it in my purse, walking to Orange Summers, the only place that seemed to understand me.“And one too, for me.”A familiar low baritone voice, lurked in surprisingly behind me. I looked behind me, only to see Liam clothed in his usual black expensive suit, looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever.He settled on a chair just beside me.I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.“Liam, what are you doing here?”I asked, with a sigh, almost cringing in distress.
