My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 13 : Her Storm
*Miles* “Arthur!” I called to my driver. “We need to get her into the car and to the penthouse. Have Greta call Dr. Ramirez.”“Yes, sir.”I picked up my wife and cradled her to my chest. I could see her chest rising and falling which meant she was still breathing. But what concerned me was the fact that the buttons on her shirt had been ripped open by that man who had her pinned against the wall.Red-hot anger pooled in my veins but I knew that now was not the time for it. My wife needed me to focus on her right now. I carried her into the van and laid her on the seat. I closed the door and Arthur sped out of the basement.I brushed the few strands of hair from her face.“You’re going to be okay, Dove. I promise you that.”I had vowed to protect her and keep her safe. But the last place I had thought that she would need protection was her place of work. She was meant to be safe here. But seeing as they had let their security slip it was up to me to put the correct measures in

*Dove* Cold icy hands. Rotting breath fanning across my skin.“Look at this golden pussy. Oh, how I have missed you, Dovie.”A chill ran down my spine. I tried to press my back further into the wall. I needed to get out of here.“Do you miss me, baby?” His hand crept lower and lower toward my core.“Please,” I pleaded. “No, please.”“You’re mine.”“No!” My body lurched forward in the bed, my skin drenched in sweat. The moonlight streamed into the room, illuminating half of the space.I looked around the room and saw that I was in our bedroom. My hand came to rest on my racing heart and I let out a few shaky breaths.You’re okay…you’re okay…I kept chanting that inside of my head over and over again. My body felt like it had run two full marathons. Every muscle was sore. All I could feel was the ache in my muscles and the creaking of my bones as I peeled the sheets off my body.“Ah,” I hissed as I placed my legs on the floor. The cool wood felt nice under my sore soles. “W

Miles sat in his wheelchair looking at me with a small smile playing on his lips. His eyes were tender and soft, and his aura alone was enough to calm some of the chaos that my father had induced.For a moment, time stood still and it was just he and I who existed in that moment. There was no one else but us.It was a blissful moment.“How are you feeling?” he asked, breaking the calm moment. “You gave me quite the scare.”“Umm…” I tried to find my voice, “I’m sorry. I just…a lot happened.”“I’m sure.” His features twisted into one of deep concern. “Do you want to talk about it?”Do I?Dylan was a thing of my past and so was the incident. But somehow my history had followed me to the new life I had created here.Why? Why could I not just have peace for once? All my life, all I had ever known was pain and suffering.My father. My mother. The assault. Dylan.This was meant to be my time of joy and happiness but I was quickly coming to realize that good things didn’t always stay

I stared down at my phone completely and utterly shocked.I had to blink a few times to make sure that I was seeing exactly what I was seeing.There was no way that this was the man that she was marrying. This had to be some kind of mistake.I clicked on the comment section and read what they all had to say.‘You two are so good together ’‘Oh my Gosh was he not with her sister?’‘You guys are going to have the cutest babies’I read comment after comment and it all just kept getting realer and realer with each passing second. There was no way that this was real right now.She was marrying my ex-boyfriend. The man that I had loved so deeply and who had broken my heart in two.“Dove?” Miles tried to grab my attention. “Dove?”I lifted my head, “yes?”“Are you okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost?”I nodded my head but no words came out. I was still in bitter and utter shock.“Dove?” My husband wheeled himself to my direction and placed his hand on my shoulder. “Are you

She pulled my hair while I pulled hers. We rolled around on the ground trying to claw at each other, anger fueling my actions.“I am going to kill you,” Sylvia sneered at me as she got on top of me, attempting to punch me.I dodged the blows but she was able to land one good punch that hit me right in the mouth, causing the taste of metallic to touch my tongue. I turned my head to the side and spit out all the excess blood.I flipped us over so now I was on top of her. “I have been waiting to do this.”I drew my hand back ready to strike her stupid little face but my arm was held back. I was expecting to find Dylan there but instead, I was being stared down at by my father’s raging green eyes.“What are you doing, Dove?”I ripped my hand from his grip and stood from my sister's abdomen. She had now resorted to crying quietly under her breath to get sympathy from my father. Of course, she fucking was. “Daddy she just attacked me,” she whimpered, dusting herself off as she rose t

*Dylan* I had no idea what I was doing outside with her. I had no business being out here with her when my fiancée was inside, likely watching this exchange. “I don’t want to talk to you, Dylan.” Dove turned away from me and looked out to the road. “Your wife-to-be will not be happy to see you talking to me. And I would hate to put her head in the mud again.”I looked down at her hand and saw that she was bleeding.“You’re bleeding.” I tried to reach for her hand but she moved away from me. “Don’t be childish, let me see and help you.”“Now you want to help?” she snapped. “Where were you when I needed help three years ago?”The venom in her voice was potent and lethal. She was out for blood.“You weren’t at work,” I stated, ignoring her words. This was the only thing that I could think of to break the ice.“I was sick. What are you going to do? Fire me?” There was a challenge in her voice.It was rare for Dove to get fired up. She was often a levelheaded person. She didn’t

*Miles* I could feel her eyes on me the entire time as I drove us back into town. She had a million and one questions, I was sure of it.In my defense, I had not thought it all the way through. I had just heard her tears and my little ruse was the last thing on my mind. I just knew that I needed to get to her.She had left in such a haste and I had been constricted to that damn chair. But now the secret was out. She knew that I could walk. I had been keeping this secure for the past three years since my accident. I didn’t want my enemies to know that I was healed after the stunt they had tried to pull on me.“So, are we going to talk about the elephant in the car or we are going to pretend like you don’t have full mobility of your legs?”I came to a traffic stop and turned to meet her eyes. Dove’s eyes were set on my legs as they controlled the large car. She had a look of both confusion and horror on her face.I couldn’t blame her.She had been set up to marry a cripple who

*Dove* Monday had come too far quickly. I didn’t want to be around Dylan again after the shit show that had taken place at my dad’s place. Not only that but I had found out that my paralyzed husband was not so paralyzed after all. The man could walk just fine.I knew that Miles had promised me that I would be under his protection but I still felt uneasy. I didn’t know who that guy was from the basement parking and going back to work was bringing up a lot of anxiety.I had been battling with an idea the entire weekend. With Dylan at my workplace and now being my boss and also marrying my half-sister, it was all too much for me.New York was meant to be my fresh start. A chance for me to carve my own path but the ghosts of my past had come back to haunt me.I had yet to tell my friends the full scope of what happened but I had given them the summarized version and by that I mean I told them that I was fine and feeling better. I was a coward, I know, but I had no choice. I was not

My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 60 : I'm Just Getting Started
*Dove*It’s been a week since the night Dylan apologized for the way he treated me after my assault and the things he has done since. True to his word, he has changed his ways. He is no longer belittling me or making me complete stupid tasks at work. He has treated me like every other employee and that’s all I could have ever asked for. I don’t want him to give me special treatment now that he’s admitted to his wrongs—I just want him to treat me like everyone else.Miles and I have grown closer this past week—if that’s even possible as a married couple. It just feels like everything is falling into place with us now. We have our routine that we do each day—we eat dinner together, have a drink, and then watch a movie if we’re not trying to rip each other’s clothes off. I know we’re still in our honeymoon phase, but God I hope this feeling of excitement whenever he’s around and the need to be near him at all times never fades. I’m so in love with this man and I couldn’t be luck
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 59 : Take Me, Birdie
*Dove*When I step into the penthouse, the aroma of spices hits my sinuses. I smile when I hear Miles curse from the kitchen. I shake my head and drop my handbag by the front door. What is this man up to?I pad along the floorboards until I reach the kitchen where I find Miles hovering over the stovetop with his back to me. Deciding I want to enjoy this moment of my husband cooking me dinner, I lean against the wall and fold my arms over my chest. He’s still wearing a black button-down from work but he has the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, showing the thick veins lining his forearms.God, I hope he has a few buttons undone. It drives me crazy when he wears his shirt like that.His hair is a mess atop his head, likely from the stress of trying to cook dinner before I got home. Talking to Dylan downstairs just now gave him some extra time to finish up, but it seems something is going wrong if he’s cursing loud enough for me to hear across the penthouse. “Is everything
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 58 : An Apology From Dylan
*Dove*After a long day of work, I couldn’t be more excited to get home to my husband to see what he plans on doing with me tonight. The tips of my fingers are tingling with excitement as I grip the steering wheel tight, getting lost in thought about what tonight could potentially lead to. I’m glad I was able to sit down with Amy and Sabrina to let them know everything in my life is back on track. I needed it, and if it weren’t for their support, I would’ve been a mess waiting for Miles to reach out to me after he stormed out of the penthouse. I couldn’t thank my best friends enough. However, I’m still a little on edge after the odd interaction I had with Dylan this afternoon. He is not one to back down or give in easily, so the fact that he willingly walked away when I told him I wasn’t able to talk to him is a little concerning. I couldn’t read his features because they were stoic, so I wasn’t able to try and get an understanding of what could be going through his mind.
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 57 : All is Well Now
*Dove*Walking into work this morning, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Last night with Miles went well. After he ate me out until my brain felt like it was going to explode and then proceeded to remind me just how much he loves me by fucking me until I almost blacked out, we lay in bed and discussed what happened further.He apologized repeatedly for overreacting, and I had to reassure him every time that I forgave him. We all make mistakes, and Miles is the type of person who chooses to run from his problems instead of facing them head-on. It’s something he has agreed to work on, which I’m grateful for. The last thing I want is another misunderstanding like that.When we woke up this morning, he had cooked me breakfast in bed with the promise of repeating what we did the night before. It was safe to say my cheeks were red the entire morning. I’ll never not blush when it comes to my husband and his way with words. I’m just grateful that we sorted eve
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 56 : Time to Make Up
*Dove*By the time the taxi drops me back at the penthouse and I say goodbye to Amy and Sabrina, I’m brimming with anger. I can’t believe Miles would go to a bar with his assistant after ignoring me for twenty-four hours, then spot me across the room, and still make no move to come and talk to me. Granted, discussing such a topic at a bar might not be the most appropriate location, but still.I had to hold Amy back from walking across the room and giving my husband a piece of her mind. As much as I love her for wanting to stick up for me, this is a battle I have to fight on my own. I kick my shoes off by the front door and march toward the kitchen, not even bothering to turn on the lights—the city skyline provides enough light. I need something to help with the anger burning in my chest, so I think pouring wine into the largest glass I can find will do the trick. Once my glass is full, I walk to the couch and plop down. Taking a large gulp, I watch water droplets race down th
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 55 : Caught in the Act
*Dove*I feel like a zombie walking into the office this morning. My shoulders are tense, my brain is foggy, and I think I’m wearing mismatched socks. I barely got any sleep last night after Miles stormed out of the penthouse after his little blow-up. Over what? I’m still trying to figure that one out.His overreaction to the conversation I had with my mom yesterday is still a mystery to me. Why the hell would he think I was planning to leave him after a simple warning? My mom never said the words, “Leave him.” She just wants me to be careful, and while I understand her concerns, it’s not enough for me to leave my husband for fear that he might one day hurt me. Miles isn’t like that.I tried to call and text him multiple times throughout the night. At first, the phone would ring out, but eventually, it just went straight to voicemail, as if my calling him to find out if he was okay was annoying him. I was upset to begin with because he had left me alone without providing any i
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 54 : Much Needed Advice
*Miles*The front door to the quiet apartment swings open violently from the force of my pushing it. The doorknob collides with the wall behind it, but I’m too angry to care whether it put a dent in the plaster or not. The apartment is illuminated by the lights of New York City’s skyline streaming in through the open windows I didn’t bother to close the last time I was here.I can’t even remember how long ago that was. Slamming the door closed behind me, I don’t bother switching on the main light in the living room. Instead, I stalk across the large space with my hands balled into fists at my side. I need a fucking drink so bad. The anger brimming beneath the surface is desperate for the rich liquid to relax it. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel the same. When I open the door to the liquor cabinet, I’m pleased to see the expensive bottle of whiskey I bought when I first bought the place where I left it, catching dust. Wrapping my hand around the neck, I pull it
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 53 : Don't Leave Me
*Dove*My hands grip the steering wheel tightly as I drive along the highway. The headlights from the oncoming cars blind me momentarily, but I barely notice them because I feel as though I’m on autopilot, just going through the motions. Since leaving the hospital twenty minutes ago, my mom’s words have been replaying in my mind over and over again, like a broken down record that won’t stop fucking spinning.I understand her concerns when it comes to Miles, especially because he is a powerful man with lots of money and our marriage is still only new. But I trust him with my life. I couldn’t fathom him doing to me what my father did to my mom. My father did a shitty thing leaving me and my mom when we needed him most, but Miles isn’t anything like him. He’s caring, loving, attentive, and above all, so fucking kind. My mom has nothing to worry about because I’m not worried. When I’m with Miles, I feel like the only girl in the world, especially when he looks at me like I’m
My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 52 : Be Careful
*Dove*The drive to the hospital from my work takes a little longer with the after-work rush hour traffic. New York City is a pain in the ass to drive in. The honking from taxis was excessive and the amount of pedestrians I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting because they walked out in front of me was too much to keep count of. Everyone just always seems to be in a rush to get somewhere. I don’t share that mentality, however. I’m more than happy to take my time because I know I’ll get to my destination eventually. I wished everyone in this damn city thought the same way.Driving through the packed parking garages next to the hospital, I manage to snag a space, bringing my car to a park. I heave a deep breath and look down at my watch. I have time for a quick visit with my mom before I head home to have dinner with my husband.I decided that after the bombshell Dylan dropped on me today about the photos that were taken the night of my assault, I knew I had to see my m
