My Shotgun Marriage with the Billionaire CEO Chapter 21 : Protecting Her
*Miles* I had been anxious to get home to see Dove. She had not responded to any of my texts or calls and I figured that today would be a hard day for her. She was quitting the job that she had loved with everything in her heart all because of that bastard. When I walked out of the elevator I found her sitting in the kitchen and no Greta in sight. She heard my steps, lifted her gaze from her wine glass, and looked at me.“Hey.” Her voice was soft and tender. I could see the sanders swimming in her eyes. “How was your day?”“It was all right.” I came to sit beside her by the island in the center of the space. “I can see that yours put you through the wringer.” I tapped the stem of her wine glass.“Oh yeah, this…” She gave one humorless laugh that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I needed a little something to take the edge off I guess. It’s been a hard day.”I hated seeing her like this. So broken…so dejected…so lost.I wanted to put back all the broken pieces that had fallen f

*Dove* It was like the world was working against me. Someone had cursed me and now I was paying for the sin I had no idea I had committed. Not only was I stuck on the plane with Dylan for four hours but he had booked us seats next to each other. I couldn’t even enjoy the business class experience because of him.After I had told Miles of what was now transpiring in my life, I called the girls and filled them in on everything in great detail. As per usual Sabrina was ready to throw a brick at Dylan’s head and Amy, the level-headed one out of the three of us, tried to help me sort through my feelings.The last texts I had gotten from them as I boarded the plane had been true to their characters.Sabrina: If you apply the correct amount of pressure a spoon could pierce the skin. I say stab him with it in his sleep.Amy: I know it sucks being in this position but I just want you to breathe and when he gets on your nerves just walk away and take some time to yourself.One piece of

*Dylan* “What are you doing?” I heard as I made my way out of the dark alley.This had been all part of the plan. If she wanted to act like whore then she would be treated exactly like that. Samuel was not an unreasonable man. He was one of the best directors that LA had to offer and with him coming on this new project that I was working on I knew that it would be a shoo-in for an Oscar.The only thing he wanted was for one night with Dove.Had I pimped out my ex to a future partner? Yes. But it wasn’t like she wasn’t whoring herself to this man that she was married to. I had been digging for days now and I could not find her marriage licence.Was she lying about that? I wouldn’t put it past her. And why would she rush to come to her father’s house and then proceed to attack her sister like that if she didn’t still want me?She wanted me, I knew that she did. There was no way that she could not want me. I had been the best thing that had happened to her…and if I was being trul

*Dove* My head was pounding like a bitch.I was never drinking again. Those fruity drinks had been devil juice sent straight from hell.I groaned, rubbing the side of my head, trying to soothe the pounding. The last thing I remembered was leaving the restaurant with Dylan and—My eyes snapped open and I sat up in a very large bed. My hands patted my body and I sighed with great relief when I felt clothes. But then the relief was short-lived when I realized that I was in nothing but a long shirt that looked more like a dress on me.“No, no, no…” What had happened to me? I tried to rack my brain trying to think back to last night but I was coming up blank. Dread and panic seeped into my body as I kept coming up blank.I wasn’t in my hotel. This room was much larger than what I had checked into and from the view alone I knew that I was not in downtown LA.“I need to get out of here.” The first place I would head to was the police station. Those idiots were going to pay for what

*Sylvia* I stabbed my lettuce as I looked at the new article. I don’t know how long I had been sitting here just seething at the sight of her annoying little face. How had she managed all of this? And then she had the audacity to come to my house and act like I had betrayed her by getting engaged to Dylan?That bitch.How had she managed to bag my fiancé’s fucking uncle? Everyone knew who Miles Scott was and if they didn’t they were probably lying. He was the most sought-after man in America let alone New York. Everyone wanted a piece of him and somehow my annoying big sister had nabbed him.“How did she do it?” I was staring at a picture of the two of them boarding his private jet—the family private jet that I had asked Dylan to acquire for our destination wedding. “How did you manage to bag a billionaire? Surely you have dirt on him or something. I wouldn’t put it past you, Dove.”My sister had a knack for worming her way into people’s lives and sinking her talons in. She had

*Dove* We had been avoiding each other. Okay, let me rephrase that. I had been avoiding Miles like the plague. But in my defense, how did one talk to their fake husband about their very real kiss? There was no guideline on how to handle something like this. I was quite literally on my own here.I was even yet to tell Sabrina and Amy. They had been hounding me after the pictures leaked of Miles and me.I was mortified.Not only did I have old high school bullies coming out of the woodwork claiming that they always loved me, but I had my own stepmother sending me good morning texts.The world of the rich and famous was overwhelming and exhausting.We had been back home for three days from LA and already I could not leave the penthouse without being hounded with cameras. Miles had told me that it would all die down in a few weeks but I didn’t know if I could last those few weeks.And don’t even get me started on the work issue. We were yet to resolve that whole dilemma and I did

They were related.As if my world wasn’t already chaotic and complicated enough now I had to deal with all this. It was like I was living in some of kind of sick and twisted simulation and whoever was controlling it was getting off on seeing me suffer. There was no other explanation. My husband and ex-boyfriend were uncle and nephew and I…oh, my God. This was the worst thing that could have possibly happened right now.Why had he not mentioned it before? But then again he had never seen Dylan’s face and I had never shown it to him. Maybe if I had shown him he would have told me then but I was not fully convinced.I thought back to the day that Dylan had come to me with venom in his words and told me that I was married. Had he known then? Had he plotted that little scheme with that director because that was his revenge and he thought I was trying to one up with him by being with his uncle?Now his rage made sense to me. It was all falling into place. Dylan never reacted without ca

I got lost in him. The kiss consumed me the moment his lips made contact with mine. For the briefest of moments, I indulged him. I melted into his touch and allowed his kiss to consume me. But as quickly as the bliss came the reality of why I had bolted hit me like a bus.I pushed his chest hard, forcing us apart. Miles’s eyes went wide, and my lips were swollen from his touch.“You can’t do that.” My voice came out rougher than I had anticipated. “You can’t kiss me anymore, Miles. This is ending…it needs to end.”“No.” His eyes were hard and his jaw locked in place.“No? Did you not just hear what I told you? Dylan is your nephew. Your. Nephew.” I was still having a hard time wrapping my head around that fact too. “We can’t be together.”“Says who?”Was he serious right now?“I know this all messed up right now but—fuck.” He looked to the side and I could hear Thomas and his grandfather speaking. “Come with me.”He grabbed my hand and led me to the back porch and all the way d

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
