He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady Here comes Myra with the steel chair!
This had to be the longest bidding battle in forever. As expected, about a hundred men had their batons raised. And then they kept coming up, no matter how high the amount went. Soon the number reduced, thirty, ten, three, two. I knew the first guy was Jace, but who was the second? I couldn’t see him from here. “That better not be who I think it is.” The woman peeking from under me said. “Who?” “Leonardo.” The name didn’t ring a bell. “They call him the patron. He’s Mafia.” Oh God, what have I done? The two boards were still staying up. Jace was still holding his own. Man was going to go bankrupt at this rate. One of the men stood up. “Nine hundred thousand.” Gasps rang out from around the room. Was Jace gonna do it? “One million.” Jace said smoothly. “Bloody hell.” I cursed. “Two.” I heard the cocky smirk in the other man’s voice. “Going once, twice. Won by the gentleman at number thirty!” He hit the mallet on its stand as everyone clapped furiously. She had beaten

Tami’s POV She watched yet another story on the news about her family as she nursed a glass of bourbon. Her father was in his study, tearing it apart, at least the sound of crashing objects had stopped. Her mother on the other hand was in her bedroom, checking out all her diamond jewelry. Good, Tami thought. With the rate at which their companies were being raided, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they came to their home and confiscated every item worth anything in the house. She should enjoy her jewelry while it lasted. Everything was falling apart. All the connections her family built here over the years, crumbling one by one. People they thought were their allies had been completely silent since the raids started, if she had to point a finger to the cause of this, she would point at Pierce. And the only reason he was doing it was because of that…she tapped her foot on the ground as she thought of Myra. She thought getting rid of her baby would be enough to get rid of her. To g

Ava scoffed in disbelief and shifted in her seat. “It’s not an order Elizabeth, I’m asking you as an equal. You are just like me, you understand the sacrifices we make to put our men at the top, to put our family at the top. So I’m asking-begging that you don’t ruin my hard work.”“You’re right. We are alike in many ways, some ways more than others. We would make an unstoppable team.” Ava smiled, “…except,” -her smile vanished- “you used me. You recommended a nurse. For her discretion, you said, and I trusted you.”“No, you underestimated me. There is no trust between us.”Elizabeth nodded, “but there could’ve been. You underestimated me too, getting rid of the child was a brilliant idea, but it was carried out sloppily. Ruth’s murder was a sloppy job, I’ve noticed a lot of your jobs are like that; messy and lacking finesse. It’s why it is so easy for your company to crumble.” Tami could see the anger in her mother’s eyes although she hid it well. “My plans were kept from you because

I should stop him from talking. I didn’t want these questions answered, I couldn’t let whatever he was about to say chip at my walls but I stayed frozen, watching as he wrestled with his own mind. “You hide your mum.” I blinked. Of all the string of words I didn’t think he would come up with that. “Excuse me?” “You hide your mother, did Hannah know about her? When she met you did she know about what your father did to her, or how it affected her-“ “No,” I answered quickly glancing at the rest of the restaurant goers. “not till after Tami showed up.” And I left him, I needed all the help I could find at that time. “How about jace? Or adams, or any other person you worked with since you started acting?” “I dont see how that relates to marrying y-“ “Why did you do it? You love her don’t you, why would you keep her like a little secret.” My felt my face heat up at his careless remark. “You can’t say that to me. I love my mother! I didn’t tell anyone about her to protect her, to

I had never seen a much bigger building in my life. I looked at the building where the Dionet party was holding and felt truly small. The building was a lot larger than a stadium with a roof that slanted upwards, ending in a sharp point. And covered in dark glass from the bottom walls to the top. I felt like in the morning it would be very daunting, but tonight not only did it carry the air of superiority, but of mystery. It told me that it hold stories passed down for centuries that it was willing to share if I just went through it’s double doors. How had I stayed in this city this long and not know about this place?Carter placed his had on my bare back and my focus turned to him. “Just letting you know again that you’re absolutely stunning tonight.”I looked down at my golden silk dress which simmered in the low lights that brightened the small walkway, the material draping elegantly over my curves. The true showstopper though was the daringly deep backless design that plunged dram

“You’re here finally.” Pierce growled in the darkness. “I’m sorry, my session went on a bit longer today because Sarah came in late.” I explained breathlessly, feeling around the wall for the light switch. I knew better than to keep him waiting. “Leave it. Come to me,” he commanded. I did as I was told, dropping my duffel bag to the floor as I ambled towards him. “Clothes .” My pulse quickened in my veins and I tugged off my cardigan, my pants, bra… then I stopped. I could tell he was in a bad mood, one that didn’t have anything to do with me being late. I shivered lightly in anticipation and waited for him to close the space between us. When he stood, he pressed my semi naked body to his fully clothed one and released my hair from its ponytail prison. “How was your day,” I asked tentatively, as he ran his fingers on my hips, tracing an invisible line to my waist. “I’ll show you.” He said, and picked me like I weighed nothing. Naturally my legs wrapped around him as he

“Shit!” Hannah yelled and caught the bottle before it reached the ground. I could not force a word of thanks to her, or peel my eyes away from her phone. It wasn’t the caption that got to me. When you are famous, unwarranted rumors tend to spread, especially when you’re more secretive. I had seen posts shipping me and fellow cast members, him and other members of high society, a few deep founded allegations about our relationship…so the tagline was nothing new. It wasn’t the headline that had me moving in a mindless gait to an empty folding chair, it was the picture…pictures! I discovered in horror, as I scrolled down the article.It was her. Pierce’s first love was with him in every photo, a big smile on her face. She was back and in his arms. Pierce seemed to be supporting her weight with his body while she clung to him like every breath in her body was fueled by his presence.I didn't need the caption to tell it's her because she looked like me. Or I should say, I looked like

Laughter bubbled in my throat when her words registered in my head. “Hannah, what on earth would I need this for? Put it away before someone walks in and assumes the same thing.” I dropped the packet on the bench between us like it had burned my hand. “I’m not kidding Myra. I know you wish I am, but I’m not. You’ve been sick for nearly a month, you stopped eating mango flavored chips even though they’re your second favorite food in the whole world, and your body, it’s changing…” “Jesus Christ Hannah, slow down with the sex talk. I’m not pregnant, okay? I can’t be. We’ve used protection every time we had sex.” “Every time?” “Yes!” I yelled and moved further away from her. The last thing both of us wanted was a child. I had an experience being raised in a dysfunctional family, and I would not do that to a kid. Plus my career had just started, what part of my life would a kid fit in. Pierce…well Pierce was Pierce. A kid out of wedlock was not up on his bingo cards. We were caref

“Come on ladies chop chop!” The man in charge of arranging us, Micah, yelled as he walked down the line. Fifteen women. That was the number of women that were to be “auctioned” tonight, me included. We all wore the red off shoulder midi dress that we were given and our hair was in the same styles. Bianca tried to hitch her dress higher over her boobs. “This was a bad idea. This was a really bad idea.” She said, Sophia rolled her eyes and moved to stand beside her, then helped pull the dress up. “Oh stop panicking, we’re not even doing anything! They call your number, you catwalk up there with a smile and do nothing.” “What if they don’t bid on me?” I looked down at the chest that she was currently trying to cover. No better than a man, I know. But it was an impressive rack. “I think that’s the least of your problems.” I remember peeking through the curtains earlier and Jesus the men! “What you should worry about is not getting picked by a weirdo.” “That man Solo Red? Stupid fuc
He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady Quiche and scones may break my bones
This little coffee shop definitely knew how to brew a good coffee, and their buttered scones were delicious which was all I was eaten since I tasted it while Carter explored their menu.”Their quiche could definitely use some work.” He gave his final verdict and dropped his spoon, I giggled and took a bite out of a fresh scone. “What?”“I think you’re adorable.” I admitted, the way your brows furrowed in concerntration as you pass judgement…that’s tv worthy stuff.” His expression softened into a smile. “But it does make me curious about your cooking. Tell me this, do food critics usually know how to cook?”“Not always, their gift is in the tasting. But I know how to, that’s my secret weapon, if I made anything for you you would be trying to jump me right now.” He winked at me and I grinned. “That good huh? As good as Angie’s?”“I don’t think I’ve tried anything of hers.”“You have. At my birthday.” He paused, “She’s got a gift.”“She’s amazing-“I felt a tap on my shoulder and turne

My body froze for a split second and then yielded to his touch before I could make a brain connection. No no no no. It took immense self will to move my head back when all I wanted to do was bury my fingers in his scalp. He leaned with me, his hold on me tightening. I tried to push against his chest but there was barely any space between us. I bit down. A setting that was all to familiar happened in front of my eyes. Him drawing back in surprise his eyes on my face wondering if I meant to do it, and then realization. His arm loosened from around me and I shoved him away, stumbling and still being caught by him. He set me right on my feet and stepped back. His eyes searching my face. I remembered when this had first happened. He had been angry, threatened my life if I left him. Now, Pierce had the most heart wrenching look of hurt on his face. I could still taste his blood in my mouth and it made my stomach coil. “We’re never going back to this Pierce. No matter how strong our phys

I watched as he moved closer to me. “Your ruby? What happened to doll.” “You are everything, Myra. My ruby, my fireball, my doll. Mine…mine, mine.” He stopped a few inches from me, his hand in his pocket. “But if you like doll, then doll it is. You came all this way just to run away from me.” I turned away from him. “I hope you don’t plan on asking why. Besides, it’s bad publicity to be seen with you, I don’t want you to ruin my image Pierce.” He was grinning when I turned. “If I wasn’t the egoistic son of a bitch that I am, that would’ve hurt my feelings, Myra.” “Good, you know how I felt.” He withdrew his hand from his pocket and my heartbeat quickened. It was just a fucking hand you idiot, I swore to myself. Then he started a slow stroll toward me and my panic was justified. “I do. but I didnt mean it like that.” “It’s not what you meant it’s what you did, and it doesn’t matter anymore.” I backed away. “It does, but not tonight. So, don’t I play the part of the
