In love with my Billionaire Step-Brother Chapter 42
After a brief pause for further recollection, she continued, "When my parents questioned her about returning to Coastline the following summers, Athena had assured them that she knew that she would always have a spot at Coastline, whether as an intern or as a future employee. When they questioned her confidence, she had implied that her 'boyfriend' had the clout to ensure her a place there."Lana asked, "But you don't know who the boyfriend was? How do you know that it wasn't this HO guy?""Because," Aphrodite said, "Devon told me that he started working there in high school as a laborer. You tell me, did he look or act like the executive type when you saw him in the pub?""You can't base anything on how he looked while in a place like a pub," Lana countered."Oh, come on," Aphrodite chided. "You've seen his muscles bulging under his shirt. He has the physique of someone who does manual labor, not someone who sits behind a desk all day. I didn't notice how big he was until he walked m

Xavier stared at the woman sleeping in his bed. The past week had been fun, rather more than fun. The spontaneous combustion that the both of them had was nothing like anything he had experienced before. Xavier just wished to be with her every single moment and that was not something which happened normally to him.Maybe it was because they had a rocky start. But that did not matter any longer. What mattered was whether he was going to persuade this or not. And that was something he could make sure only when Aphrodite would call him back. She was his junior when he had gone to college and at that point he had known that apart from her excellent track records in her studies she knew to do somethings else as well. And that was what Xavier needed her services for.Quickly she rolled away, manging to reach the side of the bed before a strong arm looped around her waist and hauled her back against a hot, muscular body.Xavier growled in her ear. “Where do you think you’re going?”Treachero

Lana verified that the image of her and the client were both visible on the camera feed that Minnie was viewing on her side of the Zoom video meeting, "Ms. Hart, you're all set.""Thank you, Lana. Miss Lima, I'm sure that Lana mentioned to you that this video meeting was going to be recorded. Can you verbally confirm your acknowledgment and agreement to this meeting being recorded?""Yes, I understand that this meeting is being recorded," Carlotta replied."Thank you," Aphrodite said. "Please state your full legal name for the record.""My name is Carlotta Garcia Lima.""Thank you. May I call you Carlotta?""Of course."Aphrodite began, "Carlotta, you are here today to share with us an incident that occurred during the time that you were working at Coastline Multimedia as an intern. Please describe this incident for me in your own words.""Okay," Carlotta said. "I was studying graphic arts at HGTC...""That's Horry-Georgetown Technical College," interrupted Aphrodite. "Correct?""Yes,

“Roosters are an oyster bar standard made up of a single saltine topped with an oyster, horseradish, and several slices of jalapeño. The tradition: You shoot one back, grimace, chase it with a beer, and before you know it, you've eaten a dozen and got a T-shirt to prove it. This is not that. This tastes good. Instead of something you'd eat only after partying a bit, this version is an adept way to start a party,” Xavier said as he plated the oysters from the bag that had been delivered a few minutes ago.“I have never had oysters in my entire life. But you don’t look like a party guy at all.”“I am not a party guy but my brother is and when he had his wild phase it was my responsibility to accompany him to every single place so he does not do anything stupid.”“Ahhh! The joys of being a bigger brother.”“Then I am sure that you are ging to love it. Do you know that oysters are always a big hit with the cafes by the sea side?”“Is that so? Why?”“Because they are considered not only a

Staring at her computer screen, Aphrodite was awash in so many emotions that she could not catalog them all. Shock, rage, confusion, disappointment, and a tinge of guilt boiled and bubbled within her for several moments after scrolling to the company profile section of the D&B report that she had received on Coastline Multimedia. And it was from Xavier. How on earth had he known that she needed this report was beyond her idea but she knew that if Xavier de la Velga sent you something then you were supposed to take it up and trust it like you would do God’s words.Most of the details listed held little immediate interest for Aphrodite. She could have TJ or Lana review the financial viability of the company later. Her attention had been drawn to the only detail that was relevant following the interview with Carlotta Lima, and that was the field for the "Named Principle" of the corporation. In the case of Coastline Multimedia, this field held two names, Corrine Justice (CEO) and Devon J

"This package arrived for you while you were out."Devon saw the large FedEx document box sitting on the kitchen counter. "Thanks, Mom, I was expecting it."He handed the pharmacy bag that he had picked up for his mother to her and said, "I'm going to take the package into the study and see what I can make of its contents. Holler if you need me for anything.""Is this the package that that woman said she would send you?" Cori Justice asked.Devon had shared with his mother the recent events related to Minerva Hart as well as the telephone call from the mystery woman purported to have been Athena's psychiatrist. His mother had adored Athena and was almost as devastated by her betrayal of Devon as he had been. Her support had been invaluable to his ability to even function normally in the months following Athena breaking up with him.Studying the return label, Devon saw that it was just a generic FedEx shipping location in Greenville, South Carolina. "That's the only package that I was

She had seldom discussed her family life that first summer, only admitting that she had two parents and a younger sister. While she shared her educational objectives, she had never discussed what she intended to do after college. She had offered him no insights into her childhood, her travels, or other life experiences of note. Devon had been an open book to her by the end of the summer, and Athena had partaken freely of what she saw there. He had been judging her book almost entirely by the "cover" that she showed him. There had been no substance visible to him beyond that.The contrast between sisters that he had examined briefly last night came back into his mind. When he compared the more than two months that he had known Athena that first summer with the hour and a half that he had spent with Aphrodite last night, Devon began to recognize things that his love must have blinded him to. Athena likely had some emotional issues that might have stunted her ability to develop and maint

Cara stared at Xavier after asking the question and he just stared back.“What do you mean, what? I am just asking you to come with me. IS that something so difficult? I mean, you want to go and travel all the places and I know how you can travel in the best manner possible…”“Hold on a second,” said Cara as she wiped the corners of her face with a paper napkin and said,” If this is what I think you are saying then let me finish eating first. Till then can you hold that thought? I think that my brain is not working properly because it doesn’t have enough food in it.”Xavier knew that she was thinking correctly and she was also not taking this the way that he had hoped. Obviously he had thought that she would be overjoyed at the fact that he was giving her an opportunity to move around with him and be with him all the time but she did not look overjoyed. In fact she looked quite annoyed and irritated.Come with me to Madrid. Xavier repeated again.This time Cara did not say anything an

Cara pursed her lips and then said,” You really think that I am going to tell you anything?”“No I don’t. But I am not above hurting you and you don’t mean anything to me so hurting you is going to be easier and probably be even fun.”“You think you are a man and that is why you are stronger than me?”“There is nothing to question about that. It is a known fact. You are the one who has been kidnapped and not me, so there is actually no point in arguing with me. I can do a lot of things to you, querida and make sure that no one ever finds you again but I am a good man with a good heart. Help me with what I require and I shall make sure you are sent back to Australia safe and sound.”“I know that you are lying. And nothing you say is going to make me believe that..” Cara spat at him as she said the words. Diego wiped his face with the back of his hand and sighed and then back handed her again. Cara knew it was coming and she had already swerved away and his hand did not hit her.She mov

Clubbing is a place for a type of people. Firstly, they had to be rich. Clubbing wasn't a poor man's activity. The cheapest booze inside would be worth twice the expensive brands outside. Everything was outrageously overpriced—not that he cared anyway.Second of all, they had to be a crowd person. Being in an enclosed room full of drunk people isn't exactly a paradise for introverted people. Sure, there wouldn't be much talking. Half of the experience was having conversations you'd barely hear over the booming music, or even remember the next morning because you're wasted as fuck, but there are still people who'd come up to you and talk.So when Xavier saw her, standing awkwardly with her outgoing friend dancing wildly by her side, he knew she didn't belong to this kind of scene. The complete opposite of him; as someone who basically grew up here, Xavier loved everything about the place. It felt like home, more so than any of his mansions, actually.He watched the two women as they he

“I know who you are, Diego. You made the mistake of speaking to me. And now I know that you are the one who is torturing me and has kidnapped me.”There was silence for a while and then all of a sudden the blindfold was taken off from her eyes and Diego was standing there before her in his shirt and trousers. He looked quite normal almost as if nothing had happened and was smirking at Cara.“I am sure you enjoyed that, querida.”“Don’t call me that you freaking bastard. You are nothing else but a vile manipulative..” said Cara as suddenly she was slapped and she could feel her lips split and she was bleeding and she could only feel helpless because her hands were still bound.“Don’t call me names, querida…your mouth was made for far better purposes and not this. You are a lot more important to me that you are ever going to be to my bastard cousin.”“And you are never going to be half the man that Xavier is.”“Whatever you say is not going to make me angry. You are a beautiful woman Ca

Cara struggled desperately, trying to free her hands from the heavy ropes that bound them together behind her back. She couldn’t see anything, thanks to the blindfold which covered most of her face. The ball gag shoved into her mouth prevented her from making much noise at all. When at last she realized the futility of her movements, she lay still and listened.Abruptly she felt the car begin to slow down. Cara’s heart fluttered in fear, wondering where she would be taken. She didn’t have long to wait. Moments later the car rolled to a stop, and a door opened. She was grabbed and hauled roughly out of the car, where she stumbled a bit on unsteady feet. Two hands gripped her shoulders, forcing her to walk quickly and unsteadily forward.She heard a door open. As she stepped through it, her footsteps echoed on what she wagered were hard tile floors. She and her captor proceeded through the room, then stopped suddenly. She heard a bell, followed by the sliding of a door that she realized

Some say, 'From pain comes wisdom,' but Jean had endured a lot over the past weeks and felt no wiser. Her boyfriend left her and it had hollowed out her soul. When she pushed through the door and rang the bell at Trader Dan's, she was hoping to put a bullet in her old life and thumb her nose at the jackass who left her behind.And Trader Dan's is just such a place; where souls are bared, pain will be endured, and whatever healing occurs will be everlasting.As she settled into the proprietor's chair with the tools of the trade laid out neatly on a small table nearby, Trader Dan's resonant voice filled her ears with a tale from another age. It seemed charming but odd to her. Perhaps it was just his effort to entertain his clients or calm frazzled nerves. Regardless, Jean found herself drifting back in time while the man gave her 'wisdom,' prick by prick."Meijuan sang like an angel, and from a very young age her voice would echo in the cavernous St. Ignatius Cathedral in Shanghai.

“Love is really that important for me, Xavier. I know it sounds really stupid to you and you think that if I would just not think about it, things would be better but I cannot imagine spending my life in this way…”“All the time that we spent together, was it that difficult for you? Did you think that I did not care for you one whit? That I don’t wish to make you happy? If this is not all that there is to love then what is it that you want from me?”“Want from you? Xavier, from the moment that I have come here and have stepped into your world I have never wanted anything from. I have just wished for you to know the woman who was my mother and who was your mother as well and you never had the chance to. I never asked you for anything. You showered me with gifts, but those aren’t important to me. Do you know what is?”Xavier remained silent and looked at her darkly.“What is more important to me is the time that you spent with me…not just the love making but all the moments that you wer

Seeing that the stands were filling as the start of the game approached, Ulysses headed toward them to grab and save seats for the rest of the family that would be watching the game while Devon headed for the outfield to call his team into their dugout. At six feet, Alex stood a good head taller than any other player on the team. He looked like an adult being followed by children when the rest of the team fell in behind him as he led them to the dugout.Alex's team would be the visiting team for today's game, so Devon explained the planned batting order to the players before taking his lineup card out to the umpire at home plate. He saw that Aphrodite, Athena, his mother, and mother-in-law had all joined Ulysses in the stands. He heard his daughter squeal when she saw him and paused to wave to her. Athena looked as much like a junior version of her mother as Alex did his father.As had been the trend all season, Alex and his teammates batted around their first at-bat with Alex hitting

She was hopelessly in love.And nothing anyone would say could change the fact ever.Cara stared at Xavier who was sleeping on the bed with his back towards her. Sometime during the night he had woken her up by kissing her and pulling her nipples and then entering her again and again in deep and long strokes and Cara could not do anything but moan and cry out in pleasure.“Come for me, querida…make all those noises for me. You will always know that I was the one who made you cry out of pleasure!”It was so ardently male and so egoistic in nature that Cara thought how could a man be so full of himself, be so arrogant that he was the reason for a woman’s smile or tears. Even though he wasn’t wrong but still, the inherent feministic tendency in her tried saying that this was something that she should let go so easily but looking at him sleeping peacefully after such a night was not something she could agree to. She wished for him to sleep. They had the food that she had cooked and Xavier

"Well, I don't have a fancy car for you to drive to demonstrate my love for you, so I guess you'll have to settle for my undying concern for you and copious amounts of carnal pleasure. That's it! I can drive your Bentley and you get to drive me wild like you did last night."Laughing, Devon said, "That sounds like a win-win. We better get up and start getting ready if we intend to meet your parents on time."Aphrodite didn't move her body from on top of Devon as she reached over to the nightstand and retrieved her cell phone."What are you doing?" Devon asked."I'm texting my mom to let her know to meet us an hour later than we had planned.""Why? Traffic shouldn't be a problem for any of us on a Saturday morning."Finishing her text and returning the cell phone to the table, Aphrodite smiled down and said, "You haven't taken any of my hints, so I'll just have to make my intentions perfectly clear, my love. I intend to verify a suspicion that I have had since waking next to you...""W
