I dumped what was left of my beverage into the bin before I entered the building and headed to the basement where the pool was. At the last second I changed my mind. I decided to make a pit stop at the cafeteria. Maybe I could get a bag of ice to snack on before O’Malley returned. I slid into the elevator and watched the doors close before Tami held it.She smirked softly and slid in beside me. “Shouldn’t you be heading down?” She asked.“I need to grab something upstairs. You?”“I’m making last minute arrangements for the set.” I nodded. “So, you and Connor…” she started, “interesting.” I ignored her. “He has just as much money as Pierce does, you’ve got a good eye.”“Whatever you’re thinking is wrong. I have nothing to do with him.” The man was filth. “Are you certain? You looked really cozied up with him.”“If you must know, he came to proposition me.” “Really?”“He wanted my help…in taking Pierce down. He thought Pierce was REALLY close to me and trusted me enough to be com

I was in the wrong part of the tunnels, I discovered with dread. I now had to retrace my steps with the guidance of the dim underwater lights. Luckily there was still air space at the top.“Trent!” I called and pushed against the tarp. It was of no use. I could not hear them underneath and I was sure they would not hear me either. Sticking to the surface, of the water I swam back following the tunnel I had entered through. The sign was still pointed in that direction, that meant I had made the right turn. Why could I not find the exit? Suddenly the lights went off leaving me in complete darkness. This wasn’t good. But I needed to stay calm. The crew would have noticed by now that I took the wrong turn and would be finding ways to get me out. I just needed to relax and breathe-A solid object brushed past my leg, stunning me, and then more.The cave was falling apart! Before I could gather my thoughts the heavy tarp dip into the water, pushing me under without warning. More rocks

My heart dropped in my chest as Hannah drew Jace’s chair closer to the bed.“He knows.” I stated blankly. Her nod confirmed my fears. “How, I…” I panicked on my way to the hospital screaming at the top of my lungs that my child was in danger. The question I should’ve been asking was ‘who DIDN’T know.“Oh god.” I placed my hands over my face. “Tami must’ve told him.” I laughed drily, “maybe she even caused the accident. My mum said she would hurt me, I just assumed it was her brain doing it’s thing again. What if Tami was trying to kill my child, what if she succeeded? The doctors won’t tell me anything-““Hey, hey…breathe honey.” She squeezed my shoulder and I did as she instructed.”“Let’s not focus on what has happened alright? Let’s try to deal with now. And the problem now, is that Pierce knows that you’re pregnant.”“What did he say?”“He asked if you were alright, first.”“That’s a good sign, right?”“Then he ordered me to help you get a DNA paternity test immediately.” My breat

My nausea was practically gone, but I was certain that I still would not be able to stomach anything now. “He wants a DNA test, then what? The kid is his and he’ll try to make me get rid of it? I might as well tell you now, that that’s not happening. I have a right to decide if I want to keep my child.”Trevor cocked his head to the side and looked at me weirdly. ”you’re smarter than that, you know that’s a lie Myra. Men like Pierce get exactly what they want. People like you and me don’t have a say.”-He pulled out a cell phone from his back pocket- “but, you can share your grievances with him, his instructions were to call him as soon as I saw you. This will just have to do.”He walked the rest of the way and put the phone in my lap.I watched it ring, till he accepted the call. “You can’t avoid him any longer.” Trevor whispered. “Let’s just get it over with.” He crossed his hands, went back to the window and looked out.”Hannah gave me a supportive squeeze and I raised the phone t

Hannah and I walked like slaves that were being led to their death. I could see the struggle on her face as she tried to think of encouraging words to tell me. “Maybe we can beg Dr Patel. Have him lie about the paternity results?”“I don’t think he’ll do that.”She let out a sigh, “Things are going very badly.”They were.And at the center of the drama was a kid that didn’t ask for any of this.A child that Pierce was all too willing to take away from me. “Here we are!” Trevor said, stopping in front of a white door with kid’s stickers on it. An oddly happy setting to my dreadful task. He pushed it open and I walked in. Patel was waiting and ready. “Right this way Miss Myra, there’s a hospital gown for you to change into.” He pointed in the direction of curtains. My eyes followed his motion but my body stayed still.“Miss Myra?” He called.“Come on Myra, get in there. It’s just a test.” Trevor added.“No.” I found myself saying. “No it’s not just a test.” It was a procedure that

PIERCE…He paced the room again with his hands in hip hips. What would he do with Myra? he wondered for the hundredth time that day. She had made her demands and when he wanted to visit her apartment, she was gone. Trevor was supposed to have Hannah’s address to him by now. He grabbed his phone from the exercise bike and scrolled through his notifications. Trevor himself seemed to be playing some kind of game. Pierce was sure he saw a sparkle in his eyes when he informed him of Myra’s contract. She would be getting one, that was for sure. But not the one she was asking for.He wished he could see her face, when she was speaking to Trevor. His cock jerked at the thought. There was something different about her now, like a switch was flipped and she let out a little brat. One that intrigued him more than he’d like to admit. He resisted the urge to go to Trevor’s office and shake the address out of him. But he reminded himself to stay cool and collected. He could not let the tough ex

My ears perked up.Hannah waved her hand dismissively, “I was there when you spoke to Myra, “So I’m guessing SHE told you that I wanted her to abort. We clearly need to talk.”He didn’t want me to abort? There was no way. He was bluffing. Trying to get me out so he could then force me.“So…you don’t want her to abort?” Hannah questioned, now unsure. Most of the venom had left her voice.“Yes, Hannah. Now, will you let me see her?”She crossed her hands over her chest, and glanced back at the house “I think there’s been a misunderstanding, maybe they should talk.” Damien spoke to Hannah softly. They both turned to the house, forcing me to move from my hiding spot. I stopped by the entrance, and waited as Pierce’s eyes roamed over my sweater clad body. “You’ll be having this conversation inside, that way you can’t wack her over the head with a plank and stuff her in your boot.”“Whatever you want.” Pierce said drily, his eyes never leaving mine. They all piled in and Damien and Hann

I knew Pierce had gotten the DNA results when he called me to get my sister ready for the move. He had already made arrangements for my things to be boxed and moved to his house, from my apartment.For the second time, I made Lily pack her life up. She seemed more upset now, than the last time, and I found myself defending Pierce’s actions while admitting to the mistakes I made.“You have to understand, Lily. He’s not like us…”“…It was my fault I should’ve told him from the start…”“….yes, I know, but I was the one who assumed that he would want me to abort, he didn’t say it…”She only stopped arguing after Hannah told her to not stress me and the baby further. She might have taken it too literally because she refused to utter a word to me. I got answers to my questions in grunts or nod of head. The ride to our new home was silent.As we entered the place, I realized why Pierce had called this place a house instead of a home. There was nothing personal in it. No pictures nothing.

Later that night Pierce curled up against me. I pressed my back into him and shut my eyes. After I left the art room, he had stayed a while before moving into his office where he stayed the rest of the day. I, on the other hand, gathered the snacks Angie had given me, and spent the rest of the day curled up in bed reading- that was until I started drifting off and Pierce joined me. “Finished your book yet?” He asked in my ear. “Not yet. Reading isn’t one of my strong suits. Especially self help books. But I’m pushing through, thanks for asking.” “What have you learnt so far?” I rooted in my mind for a non traumatizing fact I could remember. “It’s better to have the baby squatting than on my back. But most hospitals insist on laying down so…”-I shrugged- “doesn’t really matter.” “We’ll see about that.” “How was your painting?” “Turns out it was a vagina-ish drawing.” I giggled. “I like it anyway, so I added a couple other flowers, painted and called it a day.” “We both did good

It didn’t come as a shock that when I woke up he was gone. I wondered if he was still in the house, or had left for work. I went from hating when he was home to hating when he wasn’t, and I wasn’t sure when that change had happened. I stood up with the intention to look for him but changed my mind and decided to shower and brush instead. When I was through, I curled up in bed cradling my new book with a weird sense of excitement. I was so engrossed in it that I didn’t notice when Pierce entered the room, till he snatched it from my hands.“Hey!” I squealed. “The mama natural... cool.”He was wearing gym shorts and a tank top, and his body glistened with sweat. Pierce had a wonderful physique but his body appeared a little more toned of recent. He gave me back my book and I stopped ogling him.“Is there a dad version of that?” He asked casually, as he moved towards the bathroom. “I donno. Angie gave it to me.” I bragged, “and then she hugged me.” His brows furrowed, “I’m not big
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady Fairies and dreams
I took my first step forward and felt an arm pull me in the opposite direction. “Hey little lady.” Pierce called. “Let’s not go that way.”“But my mum, she’s calling me.” Why was everywhere so freaking dark??“Open you eyes, love.” Open my- ohI did as I was told. To find Pierce looking at me, white as a ghost. My shoulder’s sagged, “I was sleepwalking again.” I could faintly remember my mum calling me. But she was in a hospital far away, and probably alone. “I have a favor to ask.” I started when Pierce led me back to the room.“Tell me.”“My mum, she’s alone there and I don’t want her to get hurt.”“I know Myra. I assigned security details to her room. She is safe.” I sighed in relief and climbed back into bed. “You in the other hand are a tough nut. I might have to tie a bell around your leg. You were very quiet today.”“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to wake anyone up?” That’s what was going through my head. “Maybe a house arrest collar would be more dignified-what are you doing?”“
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady Unemotionally emotional
Never was there a doubt in my head that I was anything but a stand in, of course towards the end of our relationship- end meaning when Tami returned-I began to think that he liked me for me.“Jealousy looks good on you.” He answered with a shrug. I furrowed my brows. He had said those exact words that night. But I didn’t pay attention to it because it rivaled everything I knew about him. Pierce didn’t do jealousy, or possessiveness. Not when he was on the receiving end of it.“You like it when I was jealous?”“That’s your fourth question, I think I’ve been charitable.” All I was left with was more questions. If he didn’t date me for Tami, it meant he dated me for me. Which was fucking annoying because I spent the majority of our time together trying to fit whatever mold she’d left in his heart. And it raised more questions on why he still insisted on keeping me around even though he was certain he was getting married to Tami! I took a deep breath, let it out, and when that wasn’t e
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady tête-à-tête
“Lily.” I called, going in to comfort her, but then she noticed my bloodied shirt. “What happened to you?”“Someone stabbed me when I went to the studio.”Her eyes widened, “dad?”“No, it was a woman.” She stepped out of the room and clasped me in a hug. “I’m glad you’re okay.”“Me too, I don’t want you going out.”“Alright.” She agreed immediately.“I’m sorry dad showed up.”“It was gonna happen sooner or later. I’m sorry about your interview.”“No harm done. Sweetie.”“I’m also sorry I didn’t do more after your nightmare. I didn’t know what to do-“I held her face with my good hand. “It’s not your job to know.” She nodded. “Do you wanna hang out with me? Pierce is ordering pizza.”“No, I think I’m gonna take a nap.”I understood she still needed time alone to process. “I’m over there. If you need me.”Pierce was back in the room when I returned, he was arranging two boxes of sweet smelling pizza and a sealed cup with mango smoothie. My heart softened at the gesture. I didn’t thi
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady Sorry I got blood on your couch
The sound of sirens started and panic really spread among the crowd. The group scattered in different directions pushing me from side to side. While I followed with my injured arm pinned to my side and the other clutching my wound to stop the bleeding. In the chaos I saw Derek ripping people out of the way to get to me.“Shit!” He cursed when he saw all the blood. “It’s not a big wound, I just bleed a lot.” I assured him as men in uniform jogged to the area, and tackled some of the reporters. There were grunts and the sound of bodies hitting the ground around me, not to mention the moans of people who got trampled on, while trying to make their escape.I grabbed Derek with my bloodied hand to draw his attention to me. “I want to go home.” He eyed my arm again. “Please.” He nodded reluctantly and led me to the car, which was parked at the back of the building for some reason. The drive home was the most tense and quickest ride of my life, and I did not mind it one bit.“We’ll have
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady B for bitch
When I woke up the next morning to the sound of Pierce showering, I went straight down to turn on the television. My heart dropping with every channel that had my face or name written in it. Angie brought breakfast to me while I was still glued to the Tv.“What a pain that is.” Ruth said as she came to give me meds. “I never was a fan of TV, at the end of the day it’s all about the ratings isn’t it?” I didn’t give a response. “Are you still having bad morning sickness?”I shook my head.“Okay. I’ll leave you to it then.”My phone rang and I grabbed it, my eyes still glued to the television. “This is Rhonda, Myra. We need you to come in for a meeting this morning.”I chewed on my thumb and forefinger nervously. We’re they planning on recasting me because of the interview? “What time would be good?”She hesitated, “now.”I nodded, then realised it was a voice call. “Yeah, I’m on my way.”As soon as the line went dead I raced back upstairs. Pierce was slipping on a t-shirt when I got

My eyes filled with tears. “He’s the one I’ve been seeing in my nightmares okay?! The man who has me so scared that I get out of bed while sleeping just to get away from him.” His confused face morphed into concern then anger. “What did he do to you. Tell me, I’ll make him regret the day that he touched you.”“Like you did to Adams? News flash, that text you saw that night? it was from my dad, not Adams. And I don’t know what you did, but Adams is getting deported now.”His eyes changed, “It was going to happen sooner or later.”I scoffed and wiped tears from my eyes furiously. “You’re just like him.”“What?”“I said you’re a just like him! You both ruin peoples lives. Except you do it with money and he did it with his fists. Why did you do that to Adams? To protect your possession? Guess what? That’s what he thought of me, that’s what he thought of my sister. Property. Do you know how many times he tried to sell me off to his friends, I was just a thing! he could use.”“That’s not
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady Family reunion
He grinned at me as the audience below clapped. “Everyone, this is Myra Thompson’s father. We know how secretive our girl is, so what better person to give in ept to her life than her father.” Destan said jovially while my throat closed up. I glanced at the audience frantically in search of Lily or Hannah as I took a quick step back.Then back at my father. He looked unrecognizable, a far cry from the intimidating figure that loomed over my childhood. The man who had long haunted my dreams had changed; his gaunt frame had filled out, and his face was now smooth-shaven. But it was his smile that unsettled me the most - once a rare and menacing sight, now seemed cunning and deliberate, a calculated gesture that unsettled me more than his anger could.“Come on darling, won’t you give your father a hug.” His voice sounded smoother better than when he was drowning in liquor. He crushed me into a hug and whispered in my ear, “It’s a shame I have to go to such length to see you, doll.” An
