Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance CHAPTER 15: Dinner
DINNERKENYA POV“If you sigh one more time, I swear by the gods I am going to drive us straight over this damn bridge and we will make it to the stats of those cars that didn’t make it off.” Anna roared from the driver’s seat ripping my attention from the side window and onto her.I glared at her for a minute too long before busting out laughing and shaking my head in disbelief.“What the hell did I do?” I asked, utterly clueless as to why I was suddenly being attacked. “You have been sighing for the past fifteen minutes and it's starting to get on my nerves. If you didn’t want to go on this date with your baby daddy, you could’ve turned him down from the get-go.” She accused me, and I slumped into my seat in defeat.I glanced ahead as the car jumped off the brightly lit bridge and onto the highway, then swerved expertly on the ramp and left the busy highway onto the bustling street of Hermitage Avenue. The night sky, with a mixture of night lights and architecture around us, came t

Chapter 13: DINNER IIROYAL POVI was about to swing the phone I clutched to my ear into the thin air when a hand landed on my shoulder and started moving in a subliminal way. I turned to the side and murmured a small ‘wait a sec’ into the device before glaring at the entity beside me. I am saying entity because it was my first laying eyes on the woman standing before me yet she was smiling at me like we had slept together for the past twenty-plus years. it was almost exasperating: pulling along the attention of the entire female population wherever I went, of course!Especially now when I was trying to right the wrongs of my past. I couldn't afford to mess this one up! The past four years were excruciatingly long and lonely, and I would rather die than go through all of that again.“Apologies to disturb you, Mr. Carter. Miss Brown has arrived.” The lady thinned her eyes at me, and no not in the all ‘I am going to bash your head in’ kind of. Hers were inviting sending all kinds of se
Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance Chapter 17: Too Hot To Think Straight
Too Hot To Think StraightKENYA POV“Let me get this straight, he buys you one hundred and one roses which, as the delivery claimed, symbolize love that does not fade, and continues to tell you he knew that Lucious was his son even before you confessed; which means he went behind your back to get the DNA test, and then tells you that you guys will be raising the Lucious together?” Anna glared through the top of her beer glass, disbelief resonating from her while her body like smoke.I nodded as I popped a fry into my mouth and then brushed my hands together.“That’s more like it.” I continued chewing on the crunchy potato, focusing on the greasy taste rather than the thought of what had transpired last night.I don’t know what happened, but I swear I was not in my right mind.Royal mentioned that he was going to be involved in Lucious’s life and like an idiot, I just nodded and smiled at him. “You gave in too easily, girl.” She called out, then shook her head in disbelief before pinn
Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance Chapter 18: Second Chances
Second Chances ROYAL POV The bustling sounds around me seemed to even hype me more. The white noise of people dragging their luggage around, the whirr of the planes as they ascended into thin air, and the normally annoying screeching sound of their wheels touching the ground… The occasional intercom announcing arrivals and departures of different, countless aircraft… On a very normal day, I would be super pissed to be here, especially when I was not in the business or first-class lounge. But something inside of me was alive, and I couldn’t care less. Not even the fans that brazenly stood in front of me to take pictures of me. Nothing could get me in a bad mood. I felt too good to even care about anything. My foot kept tapping lightly against the floor, a sign that I had been here for far too long and I was growing impatient. “Uncle Roy…” My attention was ripped from my phone by a cute little girl with her hair pulled in piggy tails, charging towards me. I got up from my seat
Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance Chapter 19: Falling Into Place
Falling into place. KENYA POVTwo bottles of red wine and three tequila shots; and I still couldn’t stop fidgeting in my seat.I checked Lucious for an umpteenth time to find him busy with the match-tile game on the iPad, utterly oblivious to my mini-breakdown happening right beside him. Anna was watching me intently, her gaze almost pushing me to the edge of insanity, and I tried with all my might to not think too much of it. This whole fiasco was supposed to go all easy: meet Royal out in public with little Luc and spend a few hours together before doing anything a little extra to make Luc all used to him. But now that I was here, sitting in this kid-friendly restaurant slash bar, I was convinced that maybe this wasn’t all such a good idea. “You know you can simply call him and reschedule the meet-up? Come up with some excuse that something came up and you gotta attend it. Instead of looking like you are going to evaporate in that seat.” She gestured my way with her chin, making
Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance Chapter 20: Missing Piece
The Missing Piece ROYAL POV The universe possessed a sick sense of humor. That was the only thing I could think of at that particular moment as I stared back at one little human who looked like the younger reflection of me. There was this tightness that held my chest captive, the kind that made me feel like I couldn’t breathe when I listened to him talk about how great his mommy was to him. It was the good kind of sensation though, the feeling you got when you were on the cross between overwhelmingly excited and downright nervous you could break down at any moment. And I was damn glad because I knew that although I had fucked up the only good thing in my life, I somehow managed to create this beautiful soul with the woman I loved. It was in the way my heart raced as though I had completed a marathon the entire time I sat there watching him smile, and his deep black eyes that made guilt harden to dread inside of me with the idea that I wasn't there the times he and his mom needed
Illicit Desires: Billionaire’s Second Chance Chapter 21: Temptations
Temptations KENYA POV I swirled the reddish contents of my second dose of the night in my flute while laughing softly at some joke Celine had just cracked. The atmosphere was serene: dim lights, soft chattering, the clanking of metal cutlery against the expensive Chinese crockery, and a good damn ol’ topic about making money. I was seated across from Luke and his lawyer, Rebecca, after having completed the signing of the Adaptation Contract of my books into a series. Everything else just came after a successful venture, and I was more than happy. “I never thought I would live to see the day. Don’t get me wrong…” Celine pats my back before taking a huge swig of her wine, then rubs my back in small circles. “I knew your story was banging, but I really didn’t think it would attract big shots like Luke Donovan.” She mentioned him as though he wasn’t seated right across from him. Leave it to Celine to gossip about someone while he was just right there next to her. The girl didn’t hav

Temptations IILUKE POVTemptation smells like apples, roses wine! And it was seated inside my car.I cleared my throat before gripping the steering wheel, a futile attempt of calming myself the fuck down because if this continued, I would go back on my words and just…. I would do something out of character and live to regret it later. Kenya Brown was supposed to be a chip in my long-calculated revenge game. Yet she was slowly becoming something else entirely. Of course, like any other piece of shit holding a grudge and determined to ruin someone else's life, I did a little digging on her past and found out that she and Royal had a more than complicated relationship and that she was his wife before he left her for fame. And that they had a son whom Royal had no idea about his existence until a few weeks back. And yes, the plan was to use her and get a hold of that piece of crap. But now, I just didn't know anymore. There was something developing in my chest, and that somet
