Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 101 -NOT FAST ENOUGH-MERINA
Merina and Conner tried to skirt around where Lillian entered the country club. Merina knew Lillian would lose her membership once the divorce between her father and Lillian ended. However, Merina noticed Lillian’s lack of understanding. She arrived at the club late in the evening. Lillian didn’t understand fashionably late could become too late by mere minutes. She’d missed the social gathering and the dinner. As she argued with the concierge in the main lobby, Lillian spotted Merina as Conner gathered their coats. He’d returned with them as Lillian approached. “Not now Lillian. Don’t be a boar. We are just leaving.” Conner said to her. His voice and face appeared bored and unimpressed by her presence and her nerve. “Oh, but Conner I wanted to know how you’re doing. You must be having such a trying time with my stepdaughter as your wife. I was wondering if I could recommend a service to help you.” Lillian said. She raised her voice for

Ana watched Jeff from across the breakfast table like a trapped or wounded animal. She had stayed for months with him because she thought she liked him. Perhaps she could admit she loved him. Last night he’d gone too far. She’d convinced herself this was part of the games he and his friends played, and she let him make love to her. She figured if he fell asleep, she could leave. Be he’d locked her purse in a safe she couldn’t open. Later, he’d blindfolded her before he surprised her by locking a fancy ankle bracelet to her, then he attached a chain from the bed to it. He’d chained her to the bed, then gave her some of the best sex she’d ever had. Tired after all that exertion, Jeff revealed he’d been utter scum and recorded their time together. Ana wanted to kill him. He claimed he couldn’t trust her. Yet he’s the one who pulls this. Her life would end if her father saw the video. Ana now realized Jeff knew her identity. How could she explain to him why she lie

“Babe, look up today’s news there’s something breaking right now.” Conner said. He’d called Merina early the next morning. His voice gave Merina the impression that he felt happy, and she hoped it meant they were victorious. Had something happened, and they’d taken a step closer to being able to get on with their lives and rebuild the family businesses? Merina searched for the news on her phone. The one day that Conner’s business took him away from her side. She’d filled her day trying to get known business dealt with, but she struggled because in she couldn’t get in touch with Ana. Other staff members faced the same issue. “Conner, can you do something for me before I go into depth? However, the cat’s out of the bag.” “What do you need love?” “Can you call your friend Jeff? The one I met a few nights ago and ask him if he can reach his girlfriend Ana?” “What? Why? Doing that seems odd.” “Because his A

Merina fielded calls all day and with Conner out dealing with his business. Merina used his office to field various calls from staff and clients. Updating reports and other things. Somehow, a couple of enterprising journalists got her business number and tried to get an interview with her or a representative. They didn’t have a publicity department or marketing because they worked on referrals. Ana contacted her and they arranged a quick staff meeting to address the pending cases. Merina discovered a backlog of phone messages, despite already going through them thrice today. Her father called several times and still didn’t understand she had a life and worked. Merina couldn’t drop everything to talk to him. She acknowledged that not calling him was a valid reason as well. Upon confessing, he banished her to the lion’s den, expressing a lack of faith in her investigative skills. Conner wanted her to give her father a break. He’d tried to

“I can’t believe you and Conner. Allow me to work? There’s no allowing anything. We are dating but it’s casual as far as I know. We don’t have a contract and we’re not married.” Ana couldn’t believe these men. She’d warned Merina, but did she take the warning herself? Of course she didn’t. “Oh, hush woman. It’s only a matter of time. You think I’d let you go after this without a ring on your finger?” Ana stared at Jeff, her mouth agape as she panted wide-eyed. His choice of words only made things worse, but he didn’t see it. “Oh, you’ll let me go without a ring on my finger. I won’t marry you if you’re the last man on earth. This conversation is over, I need my purse and phone now. I’ll be gone after that.” Ana said. She didn’t like how he’d joked about her job and her company. Well, Merina and hers. Ana hated how he’d belittled her work where others could hear. She wouldn’t stay after that; Ana had her pride. “Remember I work in security,

“When is your business partner arriving?” Conner had entered the study before he asked Merina. She looked up with a frown. Then she realized he’d never met Ana in person. She was unsure he’d ever heard her voice except for the time she spoke in the conference’s background call yesterday. “She’ll be arriving any minute. Why? You look nervous. Is there a problem? Will us meeting together here be an issue? We could go somewhere else if it’s a problem.” “No, it’s not a problem. I want everything to run with no hitches.” “Now I’m concerned Conner. What must go with ease? What are you planning?” Merina now had learned how to read Conner. He’d pulled too many stunts, and she could now recognize his tells. “I haven’t planned anything. Though I’ve made sure dinner will be interesting. I wanted to ensure that she had a seat at the table.” “Do you also sense that it’s not just us three?” “Your close friends should meet mine. T

Ana watched the men come toward them. A worried woman trailed behind men ready for battle. “Ana, we need to talk.” Jeff said. “You need to hear me out.” He looked stern and foreboding when he said that. Joyce came around the men and tried to avoid notice or interrupting the drama. “Nice romantic setting. It’s a pity we can’t distract the gaggle of ganders behind him. They don’t need to see this.” Merina nodded, where she stood off to the side in Ana’s peripheral vision. “We didn’t plan this, but it’s like an Edwardian romance scene. This’ll become lost on them. I believe. They won’t see the chance to use it to their advantage.” She said, her voice was low to not interrupted Ana’s words. “Sad, I agree with you. It could have become a fond memory.” “Jeff, I don’t need that. You’ve made it clear that I filled gaps in your life, but there weren’t many. But heaven forbid that my time doesn’t align your schedule. Then I

Jeff smirked as he followed Ana into the guest room. “What are you doing?” Ana said. Her tone demanded an answer as her eyes flashed with fury. “They told me to use this room. It’s not like we haven’t seen each other naked before. Live a little Ana.” Jeff caught Ana’s arm as she tried to leave. “Hey, you don’t want your friend and host to feel horrible, do you? We’re all adults here.” “Some more than others it seems.” Ana pulled her arm from his hand, but he didn’t step back. Jeff let his height give him the advantage. “It’s time to stop this, Ana. Sometimes I forget to drop the persona because people prefer it over the real me.” “I’ve always kept that I didn’t care for the persona or the job. You never got it, did you? I wasn’t dating you for others to see me with you. I didn’t see you for your money or your capabilities. Yet, you tell me you believe I’m lying to you. Fine, I have lied to you about two things.

Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 115 -EPILOGUE-MERINA
[SIX MONTHS LATER] The family piled out of the limousine. Baby seats and gear carried by a happy Conner, Ian, and Andre. Merina noticed her father wave at a man in a wheelchair who was being pushed by a female attendant. That was Ana’s father. He appeared to be headed into the house from somewhere in the garden. Today was Ana’s wedding and the hive of action revealed how close the ceremony was to take place. Merina and Conner had to hurry to get ready. The two grandfathers were taking care of their two little bundles, which worried Merina a little. Merina caught sight of their fathers showing off the babies to everyone who showed any remote interest. With that, the wedding planner whisked her and Conner off for the final preparations. Hair, makeup, dress, champagne, photographs became a whirlwind of excitement and activity. Security was exceptional, with news of Jeff’s wedding and news leaking about his new album. “It’s a perfect day for your weddin

[SIX MONTHS LATER] “That goes into the front living room by the main table. Please place gifts at the entrance. There’s a table for them there. Until it’s time to open them and then, while we are in the dining room having lunch, you’ll bring them into the front living room. Oh, I must go, the special guests have arrived.” Joyce said to her housekeeper as her staff rushed through her home, performing the last-minute preparations for the party. Many guests were here already and gathered in the front living room. Joyce, Merina, and Ana were all surprised to receive acceptance responses from RSVPs for their invitations. Instead of rejections or being ignored all together. Merina avoided the public eye as much as she could for the long months that the arrests and crimes made news. She didn’t want to deal with the media and the questions. Joyce could understand for Merina it’s far more complicated. She could only imagine an interview being like walking th

Jeff wanted to celebrate. His plans were going as expected. Ana agreed to marry him. He wanted everything perfect. Later that week after the party, Merina held her housewarming for their condo rebuild. Despite Merina being a wreck, it went off without a hitch. He’d learned from Conner that they’d confirmed that afternoon that Merina was pregnant. However, they didn’t know how far along she was yet. They’d have those results in a few days. He showed Ana around his home, pointing out the details he had overlooked before because of other priorities. She’d returned to the house and come prepared not to feel impressed about what he showed her. This house stood for their future and his first step towards stability in life, which Ana came to accept. “I don’t understand. If you record your album at the studio at the production studio, why do you need this room here?” “I don’t write in the studio. I don’t enjoy writing with background noise as it

Doctor Sutton arrived in less than an hour after his father called. Their fathers sat in the living room, refusing to leave until they learned what Merina had. They’d made a bet that she might be pregnant. Conner admitted they weren’t doing anything to his knowledge to prevent the pregnancy. But with all the stress and anxiety, she could have worn her immune system down and caught something. He didn’t remember her avoiding food or being ill. But Andre claimed her mother didn’t have morning sickness, so that changed nothing for him on what the cause of her illness could stem from. “Conner, I thought I said not to bother the doctor about this? If I still feel like this tomorrow, I’d make an appointment.” Merina said. Her voice appeared groggy and disgruntled to everyone. “It’s alright Mrs. O’Keefe. It’s better safe than sorry. I’m Doctor Sutton and I’m well paid for nights like this. It’s fine. Do you have any idea why you feel well? What
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 111-DINNER WITH THE FATHERS-MERINA
For the first time, Merina stepped inside the condo. He’d found an experienced designer to remodel it into a fashionable, spacious home for their needs. She moved through it. The movers had already done their job. She had only her business things needed to move in, and she had a company licenced to do that coming in later that day to set up her office. They didn’t keep a physical office because they ran on word of mouth. That meant they could work wherever their secure files were. Now she walked through the top floor of O’Keefe Industries Office building where Conner set himself up with his condo a decade ago. He liked the ease of commuting, and they were downtown with a private elevator. Staff wouldn’t be knocking on their door at all hours. The chef and housekeeper were present as day staff. They’d leave after they served dinner most nights. They had space to grow and entertain. But Conner insisted this would be their home until they had children.

Medina observed men with their differences in appearance and demeanor. “It’s like they’ve left all serious business at the door.” They’d seen Conner drop an ice cube into Dan’s lap and then they were wrestling. Jeff proposed to Ana in an unusual manner, but she still had to respond. The position he put her in. Merina was like Ana. She didn’t know how she’d respond. Conner gave her a choice that wasn’t a choice. “So, you won’t punish me or give me grief for working? You won’t belittle me in front of other people for having goals in life that don’t include what you want?” Ana asked. Her questions revolved around how he’d treated her and how he wouldn’t do it again. “That’s right. I promise there won’t be any extra details.” Jeff said to Ana. He aimed to calm her thoughts, enabling them to move forward, and for her to feel at ease enough to agree.“What about your photos with other women?” Will they end too?” Ana hated seeing those photo

Merina sat eating dinner with everyone. They ate in a more relaxed setting. They forgo the dining table for the living room. Staff disappeared, leaving Merina unsure as everyone began eating. Conner had something planned. She knew he must. That was Conner. Conner had reasons for his actions, often known only to him. It didn’t take long for Merina to notice Ana’s change in mood and her disposition changed toward Jeff. He’d worked some kind of magic on her. Merina heard something, unable to distinguish between Ana’s joyful cries and Joyce’s sounds. Conner held her back, saying they’d have fun later with everyone. Two of his friends came without lovers. When she asked how this worked. Conner said they enjoyed watching and acting as coaches. He claimed it gave an impartial opinion on how to become more creative. He offered to call someone in to show her how it worked. But Merina couldn’t see herself as the hostess getting off and ignoring her guests. Th
