My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 10 - Distraction
×KENZIE×I was walking out of Grimes Enterprises with my phone in hand, I had missed a bunch of calls from one of the homeless shelters, and I could only assume Paul had been trying to get ahold of me for something.I was about to call them back when I heard my name being called.I looked up and smiled as Axel walked over to me, "Hey, how are you?""I'm fine. Wyatt is a complete slave driver though.""Do you want to join me for dinner? You still owe me a date."Normally I would have said no, but he was right, he had bid the highest so technically I did still owe him."Sure. I just need to call the homeless shelter back."His brows furrowed with concern, "The homeless shelter?""Yeah, I think it's a friend of mine. He lives at these shelters.""I'll wait."I dialed the number hoping they would answer at this time, it was already seven.To my surprise, the call was answered."Hi, this is Kenzie Middleton. I've missed a few calls from you.""Miss Middleton, I'm so sorry to worry you. Pau

KENZIEI had been seeing a lot of Axel recently and he was taking me out again tonight.We had agreed on going to a local club. He said he missed music and was tired of the businessman lifestyle.I purchased a new dress for the occasion, something completely opposite from what I would usually wear.I wore a very short black dress teamed with high heels.When I met him at the entrance I was surprised when he pulled me against him, his lips meeting mine as we kissed.It was the first time he had kissed me, and he tasted like alcohol."Sorry. You look amazing."We made our way into the club with its loud music and many gyrating bodies.We got some drinks to start off the night, and my heart nearly stopped when I looked across the bar and found a familiar pair of blue eyes staring at me.It was Wyatt. He had a redhead on his arm who couldn't have been older than twenty-one, maybe twenty-two.He held my gaze before I turned away wondering what the hell he was doing here.This didn't look l

KENZIEMy head hurt when I opened my eyes.But not because of the alcohol I drank the previous night. Because I couldn't forget the feel of Wyatt's hands on my body, or the feel of his tongue entwined with mine.I couldn't forget his taste.I sighed heavily and looked over at the clock. It was late, but being a Saturday, I was off and didn't need to go in to work.Or so I thought.As soon as I switched my phone on I was bombarded with numerous amounts of missed calls, some were from Axel, but most were from Wyatt.I decided to call him back."Where the hell are you?" He barked."Jeez, good morning to you too. Why are you screaming?""Did you forget to keep your phone on? Or were you too busy fucking around to care?!""Wyatt, it's Saturday. We don't work on weekends." I attempted to keep my voice neutral, refusing to let him get to me."You work when I tell you to. Get your ass over to my place, now!" "Why?" My question was met with silence and when I pulled the phone away from my ea

×KENZIE×Monday morning swung around and I sat in Wyatt's office taking calls and filing in his diary with appointments.Today was a very busy day for him, so I barely saw him which I was thankful for.I still felt embarrassed by what happened between us at the club.Of course, it didn't even come close to what happened between us on the night of my twenty-first birthday party, but that was yet another memory I would have preferred to forget.I was just walking out of the office for my lunch date with Axel when Wyatt passed me looking annoyed.A part of me wanted to ask him what was wrong, but I thought better of it. We had a strictly professional relationship now, I had to keep it that way."Kenzie, where are you going?" He called out from the door of his office.I paused letting out an annoyed sigh before turning to glare at him, "I am taking my break, Mr. Grimes."He nodded, an amused look playing on his face, "With that country boy who's out here trying to be a businessman?" There

×KENZIE×I texted Axel to let him know that I wasn't able to go away for the weekend because Wyatt needed me for work.I was curled up on the sofa with my cat and a bowl of buttery popcorn in my lap watching a TV show.As soon as I sent the text, my phone began to ring, but I didn't answer.I was feeling upset about the way Wyatt was treating me, and I simply didn't feel up to talking to Axel about it.There was a sudden knock at the door and I groaned in frustration but went over to open it."Paul? What are you doing here?"Paul grinned, "Well, you looked a bit down when you left the office, so I thought I'd come over and see how you are. I brought take-out."I stepped aside to let him in, "Thank you, that's very kind of you, but you didn't need to do that."He placed the bags on the counter and turned to me, "You were always there for me, I just want to repay the favor. So, are you okay?"I sighed, "I guess. Wyatt is just driving me crazy. I wanted to go away with someone this weeke

×KENZIE×I was moody as hell.Axel and I weren't on the best of terms for the past week due to Wyatt's meddling ways.Axel wanted to join me as my date to the charity event but Wyatt made sure to forbid it.Now, thanks to Wyatt, I was bored and my feet hurt from the heels on my feet.At least I had a glass of booze in my hand."Smile. At least pretend to be happy that you're here." Wyatt hissed in my ear.I grimaced, "Is that better?"He rolled his eyes, "Kenzie, come on. Look around you," he waved his arm about, "You're here with all of these rich jet setters. And for once, we all have the same goal, to make the world a better place.""I know, but we both know that I am not needed here. You could have brought anyone along with you, there is no need for you to have your assistant here.""You're right, you're not here because I need you here. You are because I want you here."I was speechless at his sudden and blunt honesty.I looked away, feeling shy again. Wyatt seemed to have a way

×KENZIE× With my hair still wet from my shower I rushed to open my front door, someone was knocking on it very loudly.I swung the door open to find Wyatt, he wore a tight black T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. It was strange seeing him in something other than a suit."Wyatt, what are you doing here?""I need you to join me on a business trip.""What? Where?"He walked into my apartment, "We're flying to London.""When?""Today. You have about two hours to pack."My eyes widened, "What? That's such short notice. I need to get a pet sitter to watch my cat."He turned to stare at Toby who was curled in a ball on the sofa, "We can drop him off at my place, the employees will look after him."I sighed, "Have they ever looked after cats? I can't leave him with just anyone."Wyatt frowned, "Kenzie, with the amount I pay them, they'll look after a tiger if I tell them to. Get ready."I begrudgingly went into my bedroom to begin packing.A few moments passed before Wyatt walked in and sat do

×KENZIE×I sat on the jet feeling somewhat uncomfortable. I was scared of flying, I always had been.I wasn't sure what started the fear, but I was scared to fly for as long as I could remember.Wyatt was sitting opposite me, staring at me."What?" I asked."Why do you look so uncomfortable?""Probably because I am? I don't like flying. You know this."{PAST}I toyed with the hem of my white blouse."Baby, is that what you're wearing?" Caleb asked me.I looked down at my attire; a white button-up shirt and a pair of blue jeans teamed with high-heeled ankle boots."What's wrong with what I'm wearing?""We're supposed to fly out to Paris."I blinked at him in confusion, "Yeah? And? What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"Caleb sighed heavily, "Baby, we're going with a lot of influential people. Can you maybe wear something a little more fitting?""I told you I'm not going.""Caleb-" Wyatt paused as he walked in, "Am I interrupting?"I crossed my arms over my chest, "No. Caleb forgot that I

My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 33 - An Agreement
KENZIE"What?" I asked out loud, more to myself than to Wyatt or Mr. Grimes.Wyatt held my gaze, "Will you enter into a contract marriage with me?""This is... Give me a second." I sat at the kitchen counter, painfully aware of how Mr. Grimes was staring at me."Kenzie, this will help you and Wyatt. I think this is the best idea my son has had in a while. It will also save the reputation of the Grimes name," he paused, "And I'm sure Caleb is planning on taking this story to the press, so we need to act before he does."My stomach churned. I hated being put on the spot and having to make such an important decision."Bubbles?"I forced myself to meet Wyatt's gaze. And immediately wished I hadn't. I could see the pleading look in his eyes. "Wyatt, this is a big choice. I can't just decide.""It's not," he rushed over to me, "It's a contract. A business deal, nothing more. I'm not asking you to love me."I bit my lower lip, "If I do this, there will be rules in place, right?"Although I
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 32 - The Truth Is Out
KENZIEMy stomach felt about ready to drop to my toes. The anger in Caleb's eyes terrified me. I had never seen him so angry before. He was seething. "Caleb, no, of course not." I rushed out. But Wyatt had other ideas, "We are not, but if we were, it's none of your business." My eyes widened and my mouth dropped in surprise and disbelief at his words. His father, Mr. Grimes seemed just as mortified, "Wyatt!" "What? It was his choice to treat her like shit and cheat on her," he kept his eyes on Caleb, "You never deserved her, Caleb. You never realized what you had, and you fucked it up. Now you can't stand the thought that someone else will treat her like the queen she is." "Holy shit, this is not happening," I placed a hand on my churning stomach. Caleb's fists clenched at his sides, "You're my father. How could you go after my ex?" "Caleb, he's just saying things. He didn't go after me. We aren't sleeping together," I tried desperately to calm the situation. "But we have in
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 31 - Making Headlines
-KENZIE-I tossed and turned in my bed, unable to sleep after the conversation with Wyatt earlier.The possibility of finding my father keeping me up. I wasn't even sure I wanted to find him.There were too many ways it could end. And some of them scared me too much to think of.So instead, I went out with Milly.What started off as a night at the movies had ended as a drunken spree of a local bar.Milly was giggling a few chairs away with a group of men. She definitely had her eye on the tall blond."Hey, is this seat taken?"I turned to the man speaking to me. His eyes reminded me of Wyatt.I turned away from the stranger without answering him. I stared at Milly as she radiated a flirty confidence.A part of me envied her, I couldn't help it. I wanted to be like that.But instead, my head was spinning and all I wanted was to hear Wyatt's voice.I'm pathetic.I got tomy feet, almost stumbling as I made my way toward the bathrooms. As luck would have it, there was a line outside the d
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 30 - Quality Time
-WYATT-I sat opposite her in the restaurant, my eyes on her as she ate. She was oblivious to the fact that I was staring at her, and just as well too. She would probably complain about it.My phone buzzed and I looked at it, seeing Cherry's name flash on the screen.I put it down."Anything important?" Kenzie asked, finally looking up from her plate."No. Nothing either of us need to worry about."She smiled, "Why are we here today?""To get your mind off things." And because I'm a hopeless idiot who wants to spend time with you. I kept my thoughts silent.She noddes thoughtfully, "Thank you, I appreciate it.""You don't need to thank me. But we do need to talk about something."She sighed and looked down, "I don't know if I want to talk about anything.""Well I do. What you walked in on-""There'snothing to say about that.""Yes there is. I'm sorry I caused you pain. But you told me that you didn't want anything to come from us. And as fucked up as it sounds, she looks like you. It'
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 29 - An Outing
-KENZIE-I was still fuming over Wyatt's confession. I couldn't believe he had so easily told his father about us."How can you expect me to be calm about this? You knew I didn't want anyone knowing about it.""Kenz, just enjoy the day with me. Be mad later."I turned to glare at him, "That's so easy for you to say. Your father already thinks so low of me, and now you've gone and made it worse."" Kenzie.""No, Wyatt, you shouldn't have- what are you doing?"Wyatt was pulling the car to a stop and for the first time I realized that I had no idea where we were.It looked like an over grown medow, the bright green grass stood tall with specks of pink and yellow flowers."Well, don't just sit there." He got out the car.I followed him, still shooting glares at him."Where are we?" I asked. I couldn't see much behind the trees and tall weeds.He held out a hand, "Come on and you'll see."I eyed his hand before taking it. Although I pursed my lips in annoyance at him, he smiled at me."You

-WYATT-I walked into my house, throwing my jacket on the nearest sofa."Where were you?"I turned, noticing my father for the first time."I was with Kenzie. What are you doing here?""I asked you to come and see me after dropping her at home. You didn't. Did you spend the night with her?""Yes. Nothing happened if that's what you're asking me." I didn't sleep a wink last night. Kenzie fell asleep in my arms shortly after her shower, but I couldn't sleep. Not knowing how my son had behaved.My father remained silent for a short while, watching me closely, "What is going on between the two of you?""First you accuse her of having an affair with Caleb, and now you're asking if she's sleeping with me. Do you think she's trying to work her way through all of us?" I didn't even bother hiding the anger in my voice."I have never seen you so protective over anyone. You are my son and I know you well enough, Wyatt. Now, I will ask you once more, what is going on between the two of you?"I po
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 27 - The Dinner
-KENZIE-"This is too slutty." I scrunched my nose up as I eyed myself in the mirror.Milly looked up from Toby who was sitting on her lap, "It's sexy, not slutty. Wear it."I turned to face her, "Milly, this is Selma's dinner—my ex's fiance. She knows he still has feelings for me, I don't want her to think I'm trying to dress up to impress him."She raised a brow and pouted her lips, "You're worried about that? I thought you were trying to make Wyatt realize what he's missing?"My heart dropped and my throat closed up at her words. I hadn't told her about Wyatt. Paul was the only one who knew about Wyatt."How did you-?"I've been your friend for years, do you really think I've never noticed? You used to get all weird whenever his name was mentioned anywhere. And I've seen the way you act since working for him. I know I look it, but I'm not stupid, Kenz."I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed, "I'm sorry I never told you. I didn't want anyone to find out."She shrugged, "No biggie.
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 26 - Facing Wyatt
-KENZIE-I was sitting on my sofa with Toby on my lap when there was a loud knock on the door.I shot a glare at the door, hoping the person would go away."It's Paul."I rolled my eyes but got to my feet to open the door."How many times are you going to come back here before you realize that I don't want to see anyone? I just want to be alone."He pushed his way in, "Kenzie, what happened?"I raised a brow, "I walked into the office and found Wyatt with one of the girls from a club," I shrugged, "Honestly, I'm not even mad at him. I'm mad at myself for thinking that there was any sort of chance for us. I know what he is."Paul sighed heavily, "Kenz, speak to him. He's messed up. But he cares for you."I scoffed, "Paul, I appreciate you trying to help, but this is a mess I'm not willing to try and fix. Wyatt is not capable of a relationship. He never has been. It's just one of those things.""When you left, I saw a broken man. I know because I've been there.""It's for the best. He w
My Ex-Boyfriend's Billionaire Dad Chapter 25 - A Harsh Truth
-KENZIE-Avoiding Wyatt seemed to become a hobby.I was on my lunch break, sitting in the downstairs lunch area with Paul."Kenzie, what's wrong? You've barely touched your food."I sighed heavily, "I'm thinking about my mom, I need to go see her later," I owned down at my coffee, "Paul, have you ever done something knowing it was a bad idea? And even though you tried your best not to give in, you end up doing it, only to realize afterward that you were right and you should never have done it."Paul laughed, "Alcoholic, remember?" His face became serious as he studied me, "Yes, I have. There are so many things I wish I could have done differently. So many things I wish I could change. But we all know there is no way for us to undo the things we have done. But, what we can do is take solace in the fact that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't understand the reason right now."I nodded, "I guess. I kind of feel like all I'm doing is making a major mess of things.""Someti
