"What are you doing?"
I raise my brows at Elijah, frowning as I try to push him off him. But the man won't even budge.
"What does it look like I'm doing, Dawn?"
"Taking away my fucking privacy without my permission!"
I scowl at him but he only laughs before moving off me, leaving some space between us and I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding before grabbing my bag off the floor and raising my gaze to meet Elijah's once again.
"What do you think you're doing here, Elijah? What do you want?"
I ask but he only tilts his head back as a response, his brows furrowed and his arms crossed against his chest as if I'm some sort of science experiment he's trying to figure out.
"You never had a problem with me doing this, before. What changed?"
That I finally realized I was being fucking stupid over my confused feelings for you. It wasn't love and it sure as hell wasn't lust either

DAWN. [MONDAY, LAS VEGAS.]"Welcome to Las Vegas!"Joanne cheers beside me, and I let out a chuckle as the fresh air of the city hits me."We are getting a fucking suite! Can you believe that?!"She says with her eyes wide, and I shake my head; rolling my bag along with me."I sort of can believe it. It's the CEO; I wasn't expecting any less. "She nods as we walk behind him while he speaks to the hotel receptionist and after two or more minutes; he signals to us and we all head in the suite's direction.For the thousandth time today; I bring my phone up, a frown stretching over my lips when I see nothing from him—not a message and not even a call.Ever since Friday night, he hasn't been replying to my messages or calls and I'm getting fucking worried. If this is one of the bullshit where he tells me he just wants to get a reaction out of me, then he can go to fucking hell!"Are you okay?"

DAWN.He looks so good.Damn him for looking so well!"Princess. " He gives me a small smile, taking long strides across the room to get to me before pulling me flushed against his chest, one arm around my waist while the other goes to my head, pressing it tightly against his warmth. "Fuck, I miss you so much. "Pulling away from his embrace, I stare up at him with a frown. "You're in Las Vegas, how?"I ask and he chuckles before casually throwing himself on the bed, staring up at me with his left leg crossed over the right one. "A little surprise. "He shrugs, and I raise my brows at him. "You mean you knew you were coming here, but you said no?"He nods with a bright smile, seeming obviously proud of himself whereas I'm mad as fuck."Okay, I get you wanted to surprise me, but does that also justify you not replying to my texts?""No, and that was a prank I pulled. I was busy, Dawn. "You girl, are in a rel

DAWN. "God! You look so breathtaking!" Joanne smiles widely at me as I walk into the living room and I give her a forced one of mine, trying so hard to stop my mind from replaying the unfortunate event that just happened back there. "Dawn, you okay?" Joanne's voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I raise my gaze to meet hers, chuckling at the frown that covers her face as she stares at me in confusion. "I am; I probably kept you guys waiting for so long. Couldn't decide on what to wear, I'm so sorry. " I tell her, walking up to her to move beside her, and she shakes her head before doing a takeover of the green dress I'm putting on. Her brows raised. "Well, you definitely came out with something good. Glad you took your time. Others are out, may we, your highness?" She playfully stretches her hand forward, bending her legs slightly with her head dropped in a low bow and I can't help the laugh that slips off my
Hating The Billionaire AN UPDATE!
Hello to you all!Good morning/evening to every reader out there.It must be a surprise when I decided out of the blue so I'm just going to keep this as short as possible.Well, Like I said in the last episode I dropped bediee I completely went MIA; I got lot of events to attend last month and yes I know, that doesn't justify that I should leave a book hanging.But here's it. Apart from the fact that I got super busy last month and barely had time, I also lost my touch with my writings.I didn't have the zeal to write... At all! And I think that may be because it was so hard to try to continue to write amidst everything that happened last month.And to cut the story short, I'm very happy that I've found my touch once again.I know, this doesn't have anything to do with any of you at all, but I hoped you'll be understanding enough to see where I'm coming from.Thank you all for much for not ra

RYDER.In life, there are always situations that you can't control no matter how hard you try.No matter how thoughtful, shrewd, cunny, or observative you think you are; there are situations that you will have no control over.One of those dilemmas happens to be the one that just took place earlier.My fight with Dawn.I know I'm being despicable by doing this, but what I don't understand is why the fuck she's still here?The only reason she ever thought of leaving Washington was because I fucked things up, and now that I've mended things back, and we are back together— I do not see a reason why she shouldn't be back in that city with me?But, of course. It's Dawn.Of course, she wouldn't listen to me.She barely does.Which is why I'm here, waiting for her to come back to this place because I'm not about to lose my girl over a shitty disagreement.

DAWN. "God, I'm so fucking tired. " I groan as I roll to the other side of the bed; only for Ryder to pull me back against his chest, pressing his very much still hardened dick against my sore core, and I whimper, knowing exactly what he wants. "I'm tired, God! How horny are you?" I snap, pushing at his chest, but he only laughs, and pulls me closer, rubbing his dick against my ass. He chuckles as his tongue swipes over my earlobe, and I shiver under his embrace at the feel of the warm flesh against my skin, "You should know I'm always horny for you, baby girl," He rasps in my ear; the sound shooting heat across my body to my sore core, and I groan under him, shaking my head at the effect that one small action has on me. "Fuck off, Smith. I'm tired. We have been doing this for hours, give me some Goddamn time to rest!" I snap at him, wriggling in his embrace to try to escape, but Ryder only pulls me tighter agai

*FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO PRESENT-DAY* *IN DAWN'S POV* He grabs hold of my arm, forcefully turning me in my stand to come into his view, and I scowl at him, as I try to jerk my hand from his grip. "What the fuck do you want from me? Let go of me!" I snap at Elijah who lifts his brows at me, his grip on my arm getting tighter, and I bite down on my lips to suppress the wince that's trying to slip through my lips. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" He questions, taking another step closer, and my gaze moves down to the small movement; cautious of the fact that he's getting closer to me. "You kiss me one day, and then you completely ignore me the next! The fuck is wrong with what? Do I look like a fucking toy you can play around with as you wish? This shit has got to fucking stop!" He growls, shaking me violently, and I shake my head, regretting not slamming the door on his fucking face the moment his face showed up. And I would have. If he hasn't

DAWN. "You shouldn't be scared. " Ryder states beside me and I glare at him, "Easy for you to say. You're not the one meeting your man's parents for the first time. ""I don't remember you being nervous when you met Miranda and the rest. " He teases and I nudge him with my shoulder, earning a laugh from him. "Just joking, babe. You'll be fine. They're not scary. ""Are you sure about that?" I cast him a side glance as I rub my palms against each other and he hums, "Not to that extent. ""Ryder, " I whine as I slap his thigh. "Stop teasing me. You're not helping. ""I know, " he chuckles. "I just can't help it when you're this worried. Come on, you'll be fine, baby.

It's been a month since I graduated and left college, and today; I'll be meeting Ryder's family. His second family that's come to be a part of the big one. We haven't met because I

√THREE YEARS LATER. √BOSTON. DAWN. "He isn't picking the calls, still?" I drop the phone from my ear and lift my gaze to Bryan, a frown covering my expression as I shake my head in a response to his words. "He isn't. I have no idea what's happening. ""When last did you two speak?" He asks as he steps closer and I say, "He's been busy so we haven't been speaking much. Probably last two days if I remember correctly. ""And he knows your graduation is today?" He lifts his brow and I hum, "He knows. He couldn't have forgotten. He isn't the type to forget these sorts of things. ""Then he should be here. Maybe he's planning a surprise for you?" He suggests and I let out a chuckle, "I don't think so, Bryan. Maybe he truly isn't coming. "I stare down at the screen of my phone, like I've been doing for hours, waiting patiently for Ryder's text or call to inform me he's somewhere around here for one of the important moments of my life— my graduation, but there's been nothing from him.

DAWN. "She didn't give me a chance to refuse when she overheard me talking to Ryder. " Miranda snickers as she nudges Emily towards me and I chuckle, wrapping my arms around the little one's body. "Hey, sweetheart. Will you miss me?" I raise my brows and she bobs her head slowly, her lips pushed forward in a small, cute pout. I smile and press my fingers to it, "Is that right? You never asked of sister Dawn since you left with your mom. " "She does, " Miranda groans behind me and I take my eyes back to her with raised brows. "Every single day. Trust me. " "Good girl. " I ruffle her hair and she smiles brightly at me. I move her to my side, and look towards Ryder who has a sad look on his face. No matter how much he tells me he's alright with this, I know he isn't. I know he doesn't want me to go, and I wish there was another way but this is something I have to do. This is something I st

DAWN."Your Aunt seems so nice. " Ryder comments as I get into bed with him, moving to his chest with his arm going around my waist and I chuckle with a small nod, saying, "She is. That's why I love her so much. ""I can tell by the way you gazed at her and that smile you had on your face. " He says."It's been so long since I last saw her, Ryder. It felt too good to be in her presence again. I honestly feel bad for leaving her alone for so long. " I tell him and he hums, "It wasn't your fault. Everything is falling back to place at least. " He smiles and I nod.Everything truly is. Rider reconciled with his family, and I did the same with my Aunt. Elijah is off my back, and there's no need to worry any longer. No challenges gnawing at us, threatening to pull us apart, and that calms my heart. Except for that one thought that stays at the back of my mind.

DAWN."You look so nervous, " Ryder chuckles as we stand before my aunt's door, and I laugh rubbing my palms against each other."That, I definitely am. What if she's mad at me, and doesn't want to see me? It's been so long since I checked on him. I mean, I know I do call, but I've been in Washington for days, and I didn't check on her, Ryder. What if she sends me out?""Okay, babe. You really need to be calm. You're freaking out. " Ryder says with a shake of his head, grabbing hold of my shoulders to still my movement, and I let out a low breath as I raise my gaze to meet his. "She will be more than happy to see you, Dawn. You're her family, and even if she might get mad that this took you so long; nothing will stop her from embracing you. " He assures, his palm cupping my face, and I shut my eyes to the warmth of his touch against my skin, before nodding."Okay. Here we go. " I mo

DAWN."And you're okay with everything?" I ask Ryder who have a wide smile on his face as his hands graze over my thighs, while the other controls the steering wheel."Yes, I am, babe, " he responds with a laugh, and it warms my heart to hear that beautiful sound fall off his lips. He's happy. Genuinely happy, just like I always want him to be, and I don't think I want anything else than what I have right now."I'm glad you agreed to go there. " I tell him, holding my hand over the one that rests over my thigh, and he hums, nodding."I'm glad I did too. I have a fucking twin sister! Can you believe that?" He laughs with a shake of his head as he stops at the green light, and I can't help the laugh that slips through my parted lips at the sight of an excited Ryder Smith."I do now that you say it. How was she like? How was everyone like?" I turn to hi

My phone vibrates against the skin of my leg; bringing me out of my daze, and I push forward, grabbing it as my eyes widen at the name across my screen.Elijah.He's calling me.With a nervous sigh, I push the mobile against my ear, and wait for his voice."Dawn?" He says, and I hum, leaning back against the car seat, saying, "Hey, Elijah. ""I'm glad you picked. I had doubts. " He laughs, the sound booming through the device, and my body visibly relaxes at that; knowing he isn't here for trouble."Why wouldn't I?" I chuckle, and there's a sigh from his end, before he says, "The things I did to you. They weren't right, Dawn. I said, and did terrible things. I was so obsessed with the idea of having you that I didn't even realize you were h

RYDER.I stare at the woman that walks inside the room; her eyes scanning across the room, till it lands on my gaze, and her eyes drink me in, moving down my length.I'm in awe, and my eyes are wide as I stare at the woman that stands before me. Damn! She could be mistaken as my twin. Who is this woman?"Ryder, " the man says, drawing my attention back to him, and I move my eyes from the lady back to the man, who calls for the lady with a smile on his face as he says, "This is Delilah. Your sister. " You've got to be fucking kidding me! My sister? I have a sister?"He's my brother? Ryder Smith is my brother?" Brother. That word. I've not known that word outside the Smith's family, and to be called that by a girl that's the other version of me makes my heart warm, as much as it aches.I move my gaze to the family before me.

DAWN."Are you sure you're ready to do this?" I raise my brows at Ryder who leans against his seat with his head raised, and his hand over his forehead.He snaps his gaze to mine, with a small smile gracing his lips as he slowly bobs his head. "I think I deserve to know why my parents thought I was useless enough to be abandoned. " The pain is evident in his voice, and I shake my head, grabbing hold of his shoulder, and squeezing the skin slightly."I don't want you to ever think like that again, babe. You're not useless, and their answers will prove that. " I tell him with a wide smile, and he pulls me flush against his side; his lips melting against my forehead, and I shut my eyes at the warmth that spread over the skin."I love you, Dawn. Really fucking much. " He whispers, and I smile; raising my head to meet his gaze, before saying, "I love you too, Ryder. Really fucking
