Gabriella struggled to get Joseph on the phone. She attempted for two hours. She had received no updates on where their contacts had secured bail money for him. Gabriella worried their contacts couldn’t give the money after everything else they paid for getting them this far. Her uncle was supposed to eradicate the market’s other competition and they secure their business as the market leader. She knew the truth: he ran the business for the money group. Her uncle just deluded himself into thinking he controlled everything when he controlled nothing. If she didn’t get the money from them. She questioned the purpose of it. Maybe she could get help from Galen. Could she secure him again and milk him for the money? Did he have access to enough money that he could use? She didn’t care if he had to steal it as long as he gave it to her. His potential trouble was acceptable to her. “I have five minutes Gabriella. Why did you have to answer my phone call li
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 53 -FAMILY DINNER-MERINA
Merina still struggled with how Conner’s personality changed. Now he demanded she change her personality, and he’d use cruel and unusual punishment to get his way. Merina didn’t understand what he meant by her self-destructive behavior, was something he’d not put up with going forward. She worried he’d act as an overbearing, misogynistic husband from the past who’d treat his misbehaving wife. Who was he to dictate her actions? That was now a stupid question. She’d made a habit of herself. He was her husband. Worried, she feared his reaction, reminiscent of a misogynistic husband from a bygone era. They were taking the elevator up to the top floor where the hotel’s restaurant was. “I hope you’ll put a smile on your face love. We’ve just married, and we want to present a happy relationship.” Conner sounded as if they were trying to get their stories straight. “I think my father will see something’s off, Conner. I’m sure he remembers that he and your f

“Father, our perspectives diverge now and forever.” Merina said. She reiterated their disagreement on her father’s wishes. When did he have any interest in understanding or believing her? She’d seen him a month ago. Yet he looked as if he’d aged since then. His arrest didn’t do that to him. “Now Merina. What was our previous conversation about? We were going to let by gone’s be by gone’s.” Conner said from the chair beside hers. He sat closer to her than he’d ever had before this. He wants to flaunt their intimacy. Merina wondered why he had to speak as if he scolded a child. Her slender eyebrows formed into a frown when she stared at him. “As you wish Conner. I’m sorry father but it’s been a difficult time the last few days. I wasn’t myself.” Right now, she’d not argue or cause a scene. She refused his attempts to appear perfect alongside his untamed wife. Merina hated the entire narrative. Why’d he make her appear as though she were an unruly wife

Merina leaned back as the server placed the dinner Conner insisted, she have. Lobster, steak, and roasted vegetables. A little heavy compared to what she ate most days. But she figured this once she’d accept it and say something later in private. “Now, Merina. You went and did something I told you it could help us, but it wasn’t worth the risk. Now, look at what’s happened. I’m not sure I can fix this.” “I’m sorry? Fix what Mr. MacGregor?” Conner ask after he swallowed his first bite. Conner thought she’d be the one who caused the scene, but it may end up being him. Merina hesitated, biting her lip as she observed the potential outcome. “First, you married her. Then there’s that prenuptial agreement. I suspect several clauses in it aren’t legal. You don’t have proof of any espionage.” “Father, please stop. I didn’t ask for help. Nor did I consult you after that meeting. If I signed anything it’s my business.” “I

Things took their time to quiet as dinner progressed. Conner had to give Merina respect because she’d kept her head on and stayed calm as they spoke on important matters that affected her. From how she’d lived after her mother died and Lillian took over her care. It didn’t exonerate Andre. He’d checked out as a parent and didn’t watch what happened to his daughter. His reliance on Lillian as at this point became a weakness for him and a torture for Merina. Merina wasn’t ready to forgive her father yet. But Conner had her listening and communicating with Andre, and he believed that was a win. Even if it was tiny. “I want to talk more with you, Merina. When our emotions aren’t as raw or close to the surface. You didn’t need those troubles. With my legal team uncovering things her that Lillian believes is tucked away or destroyed I’m gaining a perspective of who she is under the mask.” Andre said. The intensity in his voice made everyone aw

“She didn’t like the environment and quit. I’m afraid you were too rude. As for my wife, good luck Gabriella. I know better than to cross her. That’s why I married her. Merina’s perfect for me in so many ways. I won’t demand she back down when anyone abuses her. Now, Merina and I have agreed. Only I’m allowed to discipline her as I see fit. I don’t see a need. If anyone tries to bully or abuse her, she has my permission to deal with them herself. Good luck, she’s brutal.” Conner said to Gabriella. This odd outburst from Conner left her unsure of her emotions. “She didn’t like the environment and quit. I’m afraid you were too rude. As for my wife, good luck Gabriella.

Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 58- UPSETTING THE ROUTINE-GALEN
Galen arrived at the hotel and finished checking. He followed several guests to the elevator. To see people on the elevator. Even though he stood on the first floor many didn’t get off the elevator. He almost didn’t get onto the elevator preferring to take a less crowded car. However, it the back he spotted the familiar head of his stepsister Merina in amongst the people on the elevator. As the door closed, he squeezed onto the elevator. He didn’t squeeze over toward her. Instead, he stayed to the other side of the car. What in the world was she doing here? That question ran through his mind on repeat. This wasn’t where she lived, and her temperament would put her in jail almost immediately. Instead of stepping off at his floor Galen stayed on the elevator to see if he could figure out where her room was. This was better than he thought. Another chance before his mother completely broke it off with Andre. That thought led to several pleasure filled images in his head. It appeared M
Games Lady Billionaires Play CHAPTER 59- GALEN HAS A MOMENT WITH MERINA-MERINA
Merina wasn’t expecting Galen. He remained her final thought. She’d felt off kilter ever since Conner figured out who she was and his behavior. Conner, Ian, her father and now Galen were here at the hotel, twisting her life into knots. She’s the one who should twist their lives into knots as payback for how her life has gone out of control. She hated to think of Gabriella. Or how she tried to add to the mess. Merina thought very little of it. She didn’t have time. She struggled to make sense of what happened during and after dinner. Conner wanting to punish her, then defending her. That had Merina scratching her head. What was the purpose of this? Her father didn’t want her inside the family business, but Galen could be there? Her father told her she should investigate at O’Keefe Industries, yet he claimed he didn’t expect her to do it. Why did he attack Joseph, if he didn’t care? He wasn’t involved in any of it. Conner hit Galen and made sure he stayed where he was this time.
