Wilson's POV

"Holly, when are you coming back to work?"

I pulled back my phone a little bit, giving it an are-you-shitting-me look. It'd been, what? How long since I'd been away from Michelangelo's? A couple weeks? And this was the first thing out of my manager's mouth when he finally spoke to me again?

"It's Wilson." I replied flatly.

"Wilson yes, yes. Sorry about that."

My fingers twitched and I resisted the urge to throw the phone.

"Anyway, is your availability the same as before? I'd like you back on the schedule as soon as possible."

"It's the same," I said begrudgingly. I really, really didn't want to go back to work there.

But after thinking things through, it was probably for the best. I had the money Georgia had given me, but with the sudden change in the situation with my brother, I figured it'd be best to keep extra money aside. Lawyers weren't cheap and as far as I. I knew my brother wasn't making any money in jail. And on top of that, I had to leave Georgia's house at so

    I cursed inwardly, knowing I'd have nobchoice but to listen to Collin. I silently apologized to Solene as I made my way over to their table. Georgia's gaze followed me the whole way and I gave her a sharp look, hoping she knew what Solene had told me.As I walked up to the table, both Georgia's and Solene's eyes grew wide. "Hello everyone, my name is Wilson and I'll be your server tonight," I greeted them, keeping my eyes trained on Solene. Georgia was sitting on the outside of the bench, closer to me. I could feel her stare on me. "Could I start you off with a drink?""Water all around," Solene said immediately."Can I actually have a lemonade?" a quiet voice spoke up and I switched my gaze to the guy sitting opposite. A bad decision.He was handsome. And not in the Cosmo magazine cover way. In the natural, born-with-it-way. It took me an hour and a crap ton of make-up to look that good. This guy didn't look like he was wearing any. Long eyelashes, clear bronze skiin, shiny hair. I

    She didn't answer and I looked at Solene, whose face had paled a bit and lost all humor. She gave me a slight shake of the head. Confused, I settled back into my seat and didn't say anything else. What was that reaction for? Was it something I said?"I'll tell you later," Arian said, gesturing toward the front of the car."Don't let me forget.""Okay." I responded. Maybe it was better that way. I didn't need Georgia listening in if it was about my brother's accident. That was something she didn't need to know the details about. But what the heck was Solene's look about?We arrived at the shops around six o'clock. As we all climbed out of Georgia's car, I realized just what a ragtag group of people we were. Georgia was in a suit, Solene was in a button up and a vest, Arian was wearing a long-sleeve polo and jeans, and I was in an over-sized t-shirt. I had no doubt no matter what store we went in to, everyone would flock to Georgia and Solene."I guess we should start with stores I wou

    Wilson's POV"I'm going to throw up," I said, covering my mouth and searching around frantically for the bathroom.Arian rubbed my shoulders soothingly. "You're fine, you're fine."Georgia looked at me distastefully. "If you're going to vomit, do so privately and quietly.""I'll make sure to aim for your heels."She narrowed her eyes at me and I parroted her expression, but I had the feeling it wasn't too intimidating. I felt sweaty and I knew my face was pallid. From the other side of the giant glass wall of the airport, I could see the nose of a Boeing. My insides clenched nervously and I swallowed hard."I'm not going," I decided."I already bought our plane tickets."I honestly felt like I could cry. Flying was almost my number one biggest fear. Being fifty thousand feet up in the air with the threat of immnediate death upon crashing was not something I was interested in. Ever. And yet here I was, inside an airport and ready to board the flying death machine. "It doesn't even make

  • Husband For Hire    Night Talk

    I didn't want to admit it, but Solene's words made my chest feel lighter. Even after speaking to Georgia about it and knowing her mother forced it on her, I couldn't shake that feeling of envy about it. Envious that he was there with them. Envious that he fitted with George so well. Envious of his good-looking. You're handsome...I slapped my hands to my cheeks, startling Arian. He glanced at me quizzically and I cleared my throat, returning to looking out the window. Don't think about it, don't think about it, I chanted in my head. My cheeks felt too warm for my liking. When we arrived at Solene's resort, my mouth almost dropped. It was enormous. We pulled up to what I assumed to be the main building. It towered over us in the night sky, lights shining brightly and illuminating the main entrance and surrounding parking lot. From inside the car, I could see the lobby because it was completely open. No windows, no walls. I turned to Solene in awe. "What if someone robs you?"My questi

  • Husband For Hire    Unknown Chapter

    Wilson's POVI woke up the next morning to a knock on the adjoining door. Groaning, I rolled over and peeked my head out of my comforters, seeing Arian on the other bed doing the same. "Come in," he mumbled.Solene slid inside the room, balancing a tray of food on her left hand. The scent of bacon and eggs wafted through the air. "Breakfast in bed?" she offered.Arian sat straight up, oblivious to the fact that his hair was standing in every which direction and his tank top was halfway rolled up his stomach. "I don't believe you're real," he told her, eyeing her suspiciously.I grinned a little bit and Solene chuckled, looking embarrassed. She was wearing a black pair of sweats and a tank and for the first time, I realized just how buff she was. Where Georgia was more on the slender side, Solene was broader. Her biceps were huge. She could probably break Arian in half."I have to prove how amazing of a host I am, don't I?" Solene said, placing the tray on the foot of Arian's bed. S

  • Husband For Hire    Kiss

    Why did I have to be so negative all the time? I couldn't read Georgia's mind. There was no use speculating. I'd just have to wait. Maybe she just wanted to spend some time together since she hadn't really got to enjoy anything yet. After we left the beach, we headed back to our suite so we could rinse the salt off our bodies. I decided to be cute and wear the white and red hibiscus-patterned sundress I'd purchased earlier to match the white flower in my hair. Hopefully where we'd be going wouldn't have a strict dress code. Knowing Georgia, she would find something about my dress to complain about."Are you nervous?" Arian asked as he studied herself in the mirror, trying to get a good look at his backside. He'd opted for forest green sundress and it complimented his handsomest."I feel like I'm always nervous around Georgia.""But you're going on a date!" he all but yelled. "Are you happy? Are you excited? I'm all excited for you."I couldn't help but smile at him. "What about you? Y

  • Husband For Hire    Confession

    Bennett's POVWilson is an odd guy. He never says what he wants to say. Anyone who watched him would be able to tell. That moment of hesitation where his eyes grow fierce- what he's thinking then, that's what he wants to say. But then split second later, he relaxes and says the thing that will keep the peace. His control is impeccable.But I want to hear what he wants to say. I don't want to see him biting something back for my sake. For my mother's sake."Damn it, Wilson. What did I just say? I don't care what you think you should do. Tell me what you want. You have to tell me what you want. You have to let me know I'm not on my own with this."Anxious. That's how I felt. It wasn't familiar to be the one doing the chasing. Women usually chased me. Now I realized just how scary it was. I knew I should've been cautious like Wilson was being, but what the future held didn't matter to me right now. I didn't care. Come what may. I just wanted him to tell me how he felt. I just wanted to k

    "Don't say anything," I told Wilson before swiping to answer the call."Hello?""Where are you?" was his immediate response."I have a feeling you know where I am.""You're not with Solene and you're not at our site," he said. "If you've finished your work, come home. We have something we need to discuss.""What's that?""About that male you've been seeing."A ripple of irritation surged through me. I knew he was speaking like that on purpose. I knew he was trying to get a reaction from me. "His name is Wilson." I said evenly.The Wilson in question vigorously shook his head, holding up his arms."Don't bring me up!""Are you sure that's his name?" my mother asked me. "He seems to rely on lying. Were you aware that he has not even spent a day in France? He doesn't even have a passport. I'm sure there are many other lies he's told you that aren't true."I tried to keep my face impassive as to not worry Wilson, but I could tell by his paling face that I wasn't doing a great job.

    Georgia's Pov"Be there at six o' clock sharp, no later. I've already ordered the flowers, as you apparently couldn't handle that task last time, so you simply have to pick them up. Be polite and courteous. Next week I want to set up dinner with Cecil and his wife, so you better leave a good impression. Carlo picked the restaurant so let him suggest what the best meal is and take his advice."It was hard to focus on my mother's words as I stood in front of my bathroom sink, trying to keep my stomach from twisting and crling and its contents from coming out. My mouth was dry and tasted like old leather, no matter how much water I sucked down. And then there was the headache. I didn't know how I was handling her shrill voice when it felt like Muhammad Ali was having a boxing match with my brain. I couldn't remember the last time I had a hangover this bad.I never wanted to drink again."Are you listening?""Yes.""Why do you sound like that? Did you go drinking?"How did she know these

    No, not something. Their mother. She Uses one to control the other. I guess I found my first question. "Why do you let your mother control your life so much?"Lee's response was simple. "She's my mother.""But you're a grown adult.""You've met my mother. There's not much you can say against her. She's cruel, but she is caring. Even if she doesn't show it.""Is she the one who sent you away?"He nodded."Where did you go?" I asked slowly, unsure if my question crossed the line or not."An inpatient rehabilitation center in California. I've been there ever since the accident."I tried my best to swallow inaudibly."Your accident?"He tilted his head to the side and grimaced. "Well, I'm sure you know. An intended accident. I barely remember it, to be honest. I know I purposely wrecked the car, but after that, I don't know. I had a pretty bad concussion so they said there would be some memory loss. I was in the hospital and then shipped across the country to recuperate. And I haven't bee

  • Husband For Hire    Heartbreaking

    Wilson's POVWhat. The. Hell.I stared out the window of the car, my heart racing. Georgia's words rang in my ears-I love you, I love you, I love you. Why did she say that? How could she say she loved me when she was the one who broke up with me?Why ask me to stay when a few hours earlier she'd told me to leave? Was I just supposed to go along with her mood swings? Whether it was her mother's doing or not, why did I have to be dragged along?My hands balled into fists. It wasn't fair to me. Bennett had said he made his choice. He made it pretty dang clear. I was confused enough as it was. I kept telling myself to pin it off as drunken babbling, but there was that part of me that wanted it to be true. A very stupid, pitiable part of me."Are you okay, Henley?" Henry asked quietly."I don't know," I said honestly. "I'm not sure if you've noticed but I'm not good at, you know, emotions.""Do you want to talk about it?"My lip twitched, breaking my temper. Henry was too good of a person.

  • Husband For Hire    Wasted

    Before I knew it I was gasping on the ground, the phone falling out of my hand. I couldn't find the strength to get up. The world was spinning and suddenly I felt nauseous. Closing my eyes, I rest my head against the foot of the stools. "I'm sorry, Wilson. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."Walter forced me off the ground, leading me over to one of the booths."Wait here. I called someone to pick you up.""Not my mother," I said, my blood going cold with dread."No, Georgia. I didn't call your mother."My muscles relaxed slightly. I was afraid if I tried to relax completely my body would slide back onto the floor. It vaguely registered that I was being embarrassing, but I didn't know how to stop. Like everything else in my life. How to stop my mom from controlling me. How to stop Lee from throwing his life away. How to stop Henley from leaving me.I wasn't aware I'd fallen asleep, but I jolted awake when I felt a small pair of hands shaking my shoulder. "Bennett? Wake up. I'm going to take you

  • Husband For Hire    Suffer

    Georgia's POVEmpty.That's how the house felt. Maybe it was how I felt too. Rain beat against the windowpanes, blurring my view of the outside world from where I stood in my living room. Droplets of rain fell from my hair and dropped onto the tiled floor, already muddy and marked from my shoes. I realized belatedly I'd forgotten to take them off.The windows reflected my white washed image but I could barely process it. All I could see was the image my mind kept replaying- of Wilson, tears in his eyes, walking away from me. Straight into Lee.I gasped, grabbing my chest as it clenched agonizingly. My body tensed, trying to fight the pain and waiting for it to pass. Spots blurred my vision and I staggered to the stairs, using the railing as support to pull myself up them and into my bathroom. Locating my strongest bottle of pain relievers, I dumped a couple into my hand, swallowing them down dry.What was Lee doing here? How was he here? Why didn't anyone tell me he was coming? Had I

    The sound of a ringtone filled the car and Lee picked up an iPhone from the center console. "Hi, Henry. Yes, she's with me now. No, you don't have to come out to meet us- it's raining, stay inside. We'll be there soon.""Uh, where exactly are we going?" I asked when he hung up, feeling it was a question I should of asked before we started driving."To your place. Henry sent me the address."Again, I thought I should be a little dubious about Henry giving out my address to Lee, but Lee seemed like a safe enough person. And I trusted Henry. Lee couldn't be worse than the hobos, anyway. When we pulled up to my house, Henry was waiting outside on the porch, despite Lee saying not to."Are you that excited to see me?" Lee teased as we climbed up the steps together.Henry cleared his throat, turning his chin up. "It's been awhile.""It has," Lee agreed, shaking off his umbrella. "Still alive, I see."The joke fell short as the happy expression on Henry's face slid off, replaced by a serious

  • Husband For Hire    Lee Calloway

    Wilson's POVLee Calloway.His form towered above me, a puzzled expression on his well-featured face. Maybe it wasn't right to think this now, but I couldn't believe how handsome he was. He was like some kind of model or Disney prince or something. He shared Bennett's dark hair and green eyes, but Lee's were contrasted by his pale skin. The word angel flitted to mind.This wasn't how I pictured him to look like, mainly because I pictured him in a coffin, but somehow it made sense that he looked like this. It just fit. Lee Calloway, the angel.Who wasn't dead."Are you okay?" he asked, his gaze lingering on my face.His question starled me and I quickly brushed some stray tears away, feeling embarrassed. Crying in front of strangers wasn't my thing. Especially not my whatever's older brother.Well, ex-whatever."Lee," Bennett said again, his voice sounding more frantic. "What are you doing here? Is everything okay? Does Mom know you're here? Are you okay?""One question at a time, Ben,

    "How could she do this?" I whispered, staring at it, my heart beating like crazy in my chest. When had she bought this clothes? When had zhe planned on giving it to me?"What's wrong?" Brandon asked.Zipping the dress back up into the garment bag, I tossed off my apron. "I need to see her. I have to go. Arian, can you close up? Please?"She nodded, seeming bewildered. "Of course. Where are you going? To his house?""Yes." My whole body was trembling.This didn't make any sense. If he was going to end things with me, he wouldn't have bought this dress."Are you going to be okay alone?""I'll bring her."My eyes snapped to the door, where Henry stood, hair matted dovwn from the rain that had just started falling. He pushed his glasses up and gave me a nervous smile. "Hey, Henley.""Henry? What are you doing here?""I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to come see you," he apologized. "Mrs. Calloway made Bennett and I go to Hawaii last week. We just got back today.""Wait, what? You guys hav

  • Husband For Hire    It's Over?

    Wilson's POVTurns out fighting for our relationship was easier said than done. No matter how hard I tried, I could not contact Georgia. She blocked my number. She blocked my work number. She refused to answer any calls from Solene's phone. When I stopped by her house, her car was never there. It was like he hadn't been home once since zhe'd decided to cut me out of her life, She was doing everything she could to avoid me. I had no doubt in my mind his mother was behind this- especially considering the fact Curtis had coincidentally decided to drop his lawsuit the same day Bennett disappeared. But that didn't mean I was only pissed at her. How could Bennett have given up on me so easily? Why didn't he even try to fight?Why couldn't he just tell me what happened? Why couldn't he have at least ended it face-to-face? There was so much I wanted to say to both of them. There was so much I wanted to say to him. but I just couldn't get to him. I groaned, dropping my head into my hands. Thi
