Falling for the Billionaire Chapter 6
Ethan’s POV“You know you don’t have to be a jerk to her for what happened seven years ago, right?” Lexi asked me as I hugged her good bye. Skylar was talking privately with my parents while Lexi pulled me to a side for a quick chat.“Is that all you’ve got to say?” I asked her.“If you married someone else, I would’ve asked you to better be careful with your wife. But now, I insist on asking you to handle her with care and to not be a jerk.”“I’m old enough to know when to be a jerk.” I replied.“Exactly, but still you act like the most stupid person I ever knew in my life.” Lexi teased me.“Lexi..” I warned her.“See,” Lexi said, looking at me in the eye. Her voice became serious and gone was the playful tone she was using. “I know why you did what you did. I also know that you were forced to marry Skylar and that you can do nothing about it now. Even if you plan for a divorce, you still have plenty of time to spend alongside each other and fulfil your part. And if you’re just going

Skylar’s POVThe drive to his house was calm and boring, just like the flight journey that we took a few hours ago to come to LA. Most of the time, I was in conflict with my mind if I should turn the music on to lighten up the situation. Part of my mind told me that I should totally go for it, while the other told me how it is impossible to lighten a situation up if it involves my husband.I cringed at that thought. The word husband suddenly seemed so weird. It scared me for a moment. Now, I’ll be known as some else’s wife rather than by my own identity. People are probably going to know me better as someone that married Ethan than a good actress.But I know what people think is not always my thing to worry about. There are always going to be someone to talk about you. I can’t possibly lead a life giving a damn about everything.I blinked a few times and shook the thoughts away. We soon reached his house. I wasn’t surprised to know that he stays in a penthouse.His house smelled of wo

“You say you married one of your ex-boyfriends - scratch that- your only ex-boyfriend, against your wish?” Jessica exclaimed, her blue eyes narrowing at meI left out an irritated sigh. “For the tenth time, yes."“What is the century that we’re living in? Please don’t tell me it’s the twenty-first. Because that kind of stuff doesn’t happen here anymore!” Jess’s expression turned incredulous.“Well, it happened to me,” I said, shrugging. “I was defenceless against him.”“Oh, don’t say stuff like that. You’re never defenceless. You always have your way through with things.” Jess said.“He told me he would ruin my career.”"Wow."“He would. That's Ethan Parker we're talking about, he can do anything.” I said, the energy of fighting anymore draining away from my body like a deflated balloon.Jessica, my manager, sat across from me with her legs folded under her thighs, holding numerous news articles and magazines that posted about my wedding. Apparently, the news broke out in the morning,

“I want to talk to you,” I spoke as the wall clock binged with the completion of one round. Ethan spread himself in the study, going through a few of his files and making rough notes.“I’m busy.” His blunt reply crept into my ears.“It’s important,” I stated, tapping my fingers against the headrest of the chair that lay before the table. He let out a rough sigh and closed his laptop. Leaning back in the chair, with arms held folded, he waited for me to continue.“Jess was suggesting us to go on a honeymoon,” I said, clutching the rim of the chairs and gently digging my nails into them.He frowned. “Who’s that?”“The woman who just got kicked out of this house. You didn’t really have to be so rude to her, by the way. She was being nice to you. Anyways, back to it. I’m really worried about how my marriage is going to affect my career and you already know that people aren’t accepting what we are projecting. We need to be a little more-”“We are not going anywhere, Skylar. I have work to

A half-hour later, we sat down across from each other with our breakfast before us. I grabbed a cup of free yoghurt and pushed my spoon into it. Taking a spoonful of it into my mouth, I looked at him.“What are you up to?” I asked him.He stopped chowing his food and looked are me puzzled. “I was about to ask you if you wanted any syrup with that cereal-”I rolled my eyes. “Not that, like, in life.”His shoulder rose and fell back down in a shrug. “I don’t know. I’m going to sign a few projects soon, and I’ll be having a movie get out in the cinemas real soon-”“Zac,” I warned him. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m staying inside your house and having breakfast although I planned on showing myself off in the outside so that I can really talk to you about stuff that is important.”He sighed and looked up at me. “Tell me what you want to know.”“You do realise that Lana and Kyle are married right?” I said. “And there is a very slight possibility of them getting

There were very little people that noticed me when I walked inside. They were probably not used to women walking in with a pair of striped shorts and an off-shoulder top with a sling bag hanging loose at the side of the waist, while the free hand clutched the phone. As I passed by a few cubicles, my eyes couldn’t help but land on the many office notes that had their CEO’s and his wife’s (who unfortunately had to be me) pictures and congratulation messages.It made me wonder why people had a very confused look on their faces when they were aware of who I was. Or maybe, I indeed caught them off guard by making an abrupt appearance. I walked straight to the reception and shot the man behind the counter one of my brightest smiles.“Hi, I’m here to meet your CEO,” I said, tapping my nails against the desk.The man behind seemed irked by my casual behaviour and lack of professionalism. He frowned at my fingers that were playing against the desk and looked back up at me with an unappreciativ

Later that afternoon, when the press conference has finally come to an end, I was reluctant to just let him attend one of his meetings. But I knew I couldn’t push him further, keeping in mind what the consequences could be so I let his driver drop me home.I felt my phone ring in the back pocket of my shorts and quickly answered it.“You guys are unbelievable! How the fuck am I ever going to arrange for a gown in a freaking day?” Jen cried“What the- Jen, give me my phone back. I called her.” Jordan’s voice rang behind in the background.“What, Fuck. Put some clothes on, you idiot. That won’t turn me on!” Jen said.“Jen-” I tried to speak.“Hey, Skylar. What are your plans for tonight? I’m really hungry and I was planning maybe-” Jordan said but was instantly cut off.“Give this thing to me! Hello! Skylar, can you hear? For the love of God, Lana didn’t tell you about the surprise, right? If she did, then it’s going to be such a disaster-”“Babe, you’re telling her everything!” Jordan

I quickly grabbed the shirt he was going to wear tonight and spilled some of my perfume on it. I know it’s nothing compared to what he did to me in the morning but I at least was doing something about it.When he came out of the bathroom, I already reminded my brain to not look at his indecent body and quickly averted my gaze away from his chest. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help.I quickly went inside the bathroom and filled the tub. However, the asshole already used up all the hot water. I peeled the clothes off and looked for the bubbles to add. To my horror, there was absolutely nothing in the bottles. I opened all the bottles only to find them all devoid of anything worthy of cleaning my body.“Ethan!” I yelled from inside.“Yea?” I heard him.“What in the world did you do to my body wash and soap and shampoo and conditioner and everything else?” I said in anger.“I can’t hear you, can I walk inside?” I knew he was trying not to laugh at me.I gaped at his words and quickly grabbed m

"I missed you guys," I said and hugged the first person I found, who ended up being Jen."I missed you guys, too." she said, wearing a face splitting grin. "how long has it been since all of us met? If I remember it correctly, it was almost four years ago."We were in touch all these years but it was never possible for us to meet all our friends together. It was definitely a reunion we had all been waiting for.Soon, the party started in full form. The guys grouped up near the bar to have drinks and the ladies found a table with the kids to gossip."Oh, look those morons gulping shots like they have no worry in the world." Jen scoffed beside me. "And here we are taking care of the children.""Cut them some slack, will you?" Lucy interjected. "They have pretty stressful job handling work, kids and their wives. Plus, they deserve it once in a while.""Well, hello miss newlywed." Stella said from across the table, "Lucky for you, Zac is the best out of all those dick heads. Although I'm

If there was one day in his calendar when Ethan let me do something for him without him returning the favour - then it was definitely his birthday.It was the day I had always looked forward to, more than anything, since it gave me an easy excuse to do things for him that were bound to make him incredibly happy.I recalled his birthday a few years ago when we flew to Paris to celebrate it. We were making love until midnight, and right when the clock struck twelve, I broke the news to him. According to him, that is still the most memorable and most cherishing moment of his life."We're pregnant," I said, my facing breaking into a huge grin.He was hovering over me, after an intense lovemaking session, and was just about to go for my lips when I uttered the words. I felt his entire body freeze under my palms as soon as he heard them and his eyes instantly shot up to mine."What?" he asked, as though he couldn't believe what he just heard.Only we knew why the news meant so much to us at

“Skylar, this outrageous! It’s been six months!” Ethan complained from the kitchen.“I told you I’m not going to let you touch me until Katie and Kevin are at least five years old.” I said, climbing up the stair to our room.The heard footsteps follow me from behind, more hastily than I mine. As I reached the last step, Ethan pulled me back by my waist and pinned me to the wall.I waited for the wall to hit my head and knock me down, but luckily for me, Ethan already anticipated it and placed his hand on my head.“I cannot wait for another four and a half years to have sex with my wife.” he affirmed. “You know you’re being unreasonable.”I frowned at him. “Hey, you’re not the one who carried twins in your womb. You’re not the one who almost died in labour for two whole days. And you’re not the one who pushed two very persistent babies out of your vagina just six months ago. Do you even know how that feels? Painful. And do you also know who caused that? You!”“Wait, now I’m supposed to

I fell onto my knees at that instant.She’s pregnant.Skylar is carrying my baby.We’re going to have a baby.Our baby.No.No.No.Skylar needs to survive.“No.,” I said. “You can’t let anything happen to her or the baby. Please.” I begged her. “Please save them.”“It’s a very risky job.” She explained. “She has a bullet inside her. And we don’t think a pregnant mother can survive it.”“No.. she can’t just leave me alone. We cannot let our baby die.”“We’re going to give your best. We’ll try to save both of them.” She said.****It has been five hours already. Everyone I knew was in the hospital.I decided to not disclose about the pregnancy to anyone. Although I don’t want to be a pessimist about it, I can’t help but be practical about the situation.I knew that the odds weren’t in my favour. And if just one of them survives through the operation, I don’t want Skylar to know we were ever going to have a baby.Owen thought that was extremely cruel of me to even think about it. But I

I widened my hands and kicked them from behind but the the person was too strong. I heard them asking me to calm down in an instant I turned around to look at them.It was all dark and I could barely spot the standing figure.“Skylar, it’s me.” Ethan’s voice rang in my ears.“Ethan..” I said breathless.The next second, I fell into his arms. He picked my face up and I felt him brush his lips against mine. Tears ran out of my eyes continuously as I clung onto him.“How are.. what are you doing- how did you get here?” I asked him.“I can’t tell you that right now. We need to go-”“She’s here!!!” I heard one of the men yell from behind us. “He’s with her!”I could barely take in some air before Ethan pulled my hand. I sensed him pull out a gun and point it to my head. I widened my eyes in disbelief. What is he up to?“Drop your gun, or she is dead.” I heard him.For a second I wonder if I was truly in the hands of my husband or not. Is he threatening to kill me?“Are you stupid? They kno

“How am I ever going to recognise them!”“They know you.” He said. “That shouldn’t be a problem. Once you go to them, you should obey whatever they say. You cannot-”“Fine.” I cut him off. “But how can I trust you?”“You simply will have to.”“That’s not going to be enough reason.” I said.“Well, I see you have something in mind. What is it?”I drew in some air. “I want you to send one of the girls to Stella. Only then, I’ll come.”“Bloody hell. That’s not-”“That’s the only way I can trust you.” I said. “I’m just asking for you to send one of them. You can still have one girl to use against me, don’t you? I will come for her.”There was a long pause.I gave him the time to think. I knew that what I was doing is not right. I knew I should be trusting Ethan but I can’t risk the twins’ life on this. What Ethan can’t find them soon enough? What if Jake hurts them? I could not let that happen.I also knew the twins needed each other at that time. They could be there for each other. But if

I was obliged to stay put inside our confined room for hours. Not a single message. Not a single phone call.Ethan kept himself busy with the search for the girls whilst keeping a bunch of men around our house.I highly doubted if I needed, since Jake would never pull an ordinary stunt like that. He is smart. He is capable of doing something that no one expects. Not even us, who know him better than anyone else.If Jake is really obsessed with the idea of pursuing me, he will have nothing to do with the girls. He will set them free, but it will have a price to pay.All I want is for Ethan and his men to find the girls before he hurts them and uses them against us. His actions will do no good for anyone. Not even to himself, at a point.I sighed and rested on the couch. Right then, I got a call.“Yes?” I answered into the phone.“Where are you?” Ethan asked.“I am still here in the place you locked me in.”“Can you elaborate?”“No.” I replied.“Skylar.” He called out my name in a warni

“I’m.. Ethan you don’t have to.. I.. uh.. just stop this freaking blood!” I said, uncertain about the words that were lingering at the tip of my tongue. i couldn’t comprehend my thoughts. A part of me was feeling terrible to see him like this. But a part of him was still upset that he hadn't believed it. It wasn't the first time it was happening. He chose to trust somebody else's words over mine and it cost us our relationship.He obviously feels more responsible for what happened. But this was bound to happen anyways. I would’ve been attacked at any cost. Jake and Luke are not the kind of people that would let me go without trying for it a million times. Our only regret is to have Mila and Evie pay for it.“Yes.. just a second.” He ducked down and grabbed something from one of the drawers. He poured some liquid into it and put it too my neck in a hurry.I winced in pain and pushed his hand away.“I.. I’m sorry, did it hurt?” He asked, panic evident in his eyes.Of course, it did!“No

“Get me the girls!” I said, pushing away a pair of hands coming my way.“Ma’am, we need to stop the blood-” one of the men that rushed into the parking lot right after the lights were turned on spoke in a hurry.“Where’s Ethan?” I asked him. “Call him right now! Tell him that the girls-”“What girls, ma’am?” The man asked. “We haven’t seen any-”I stroke my hand right across his face. His face was filled with bewilderment as he clutched the side of his cheek.“I’m not fucking hallucinating! Go check your security cameras and you will find two girls with me. Hoe the fuck does this mall work? Do you honestly not notice when a kidnapper comes in and takes away kids? What-”I cut myself off when I found someone coming my way. In an instant, Stella was before me.“Where are my girls?” Stella asked, looking around. “Where are they? Are they in the car?”“Stella, you need to listen to me. The girls.. The girls aren’t here.” I said in a low voice.“What do you mean they’re not here?” She aske
