Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 17. HER SHAMELESS PARENTS
(JEN’S POV)“I don’t know, can’t we just elope, Mr. Blackwell?” I whispered as I sat in front of him in his office, listening to him rattle by heart, the already cumbersome ideas his mother had suggested for our upcoming wedding ceremony.“As much as it seems like a wonderful idea, Jen… you know that that’s going to send the wrong message across, plus… you can bet your last cent that my mother would organize another grand ceremony even if we did, this one’s an inevitable situation we cannot evade even if we tried to.”I groaned loudly, damning it all in my head.“And what did I tell you about calling me Mr. Blackwell?” He sent a scowl my way… one that had me grinning sheepishly,Oh, I forgot about that for a hot minute. “Sorry, Adonis…” I corrected apologizingly, “But old habits die hard, you know? And I’m afraid this one’s gonna take a while.”“Well, let it die now, Jennifer… or else I’m calling you Mrs. Summers while we all wait for your memory to become familiar with calling me on

(JEN’S POV) “Adonis Blackwell!” My father boomed loudly as he stepped closer to my contract fiancé, letting out that huge boisterous laugh wealthy men usually had, “Seth Morgan, at your service…” He stretched his hand out for a handshake, totally oblivious to the look on Adonis’s face. “Come on Jen, we’re going to be late for that thing.” My boss brushed past my father, completely snubbing him, and my mother for that matter to help me out of my chair. He shrugged off his jacket, wrapping it around my shoulders, and then he reached for my hand. It was only when had finished all of these that he bothered to shoot my parents a look, “Security will escort you two out,” His words to them were short and straight to the point, and right after that he pulled me away with him, heading right for the elevator, but then we heard, “Jennifer, are you really going to let your fiancé treat your parents like this?” Her voice broke at the statement, and to a party that didn’t know any better, they w

CHAPTER 1- ANOTHER NOTCH ON HIS BELT“You bastard! How could you do this to me?!”I visibly cringed when the loud, piercing wail filled the air, interrupting my flow of thoughts as I sat at my cubicle, right outside Mr. Blackwell’s office.I knew that cry.The sound of another heart getting broken.This was really going to be an interesting morning.A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I adjusted my glasses on my nose, even as a small pang of pity filled my heart for whoever was in there with him— his new flavor of the week. (If I could even call her that anyway.)That man never knew when to stop, did he?This was the fourth time I was hearing that same old freaking cry, (Although this was most definitely a higher pitch and a newer voice) and the week was not even over yet!Oh, by now… if I didn’t know it already, you could be rest assured that I most definitely did now…My boss was a certified playboy!Adonis Blackwell, voted Forbes’ Sexiest Man Alive for five consecutive years and look

CHAPTER TWO- THE INTERVENTION(BLACKWELL’S POV)“Uhm, Carol... I don’t think I can come with you to the Gala this evening,” I told the lady on the line for the umpteenth time.Would you believe me if I told you that I couldn’t even remember who she was?For the first time in a long while, I actually felt bad about it.I remember exchanging contacts with a certain Carol at the Nightshade Bar three weeks ago actually, but if you asked me to describe her to you right now, I’d fail miserably.I really needed to change my ways.This new perspective on my life started yesterday, after that embarrassing incident. Someone got physically hurt because of my stupid lifestyle yesterday for crying out loud. Now, if that wasn’t enough reason to want to change, I didn’t know what else could be.Jennifer, perfect Mrs. Summers.To be honest, until now, I had been living my life, perfectly content with my actions— surprisingly not haunted by shame or guilt. Until yesterday, that is. Looking into her lo

CHAPTER THREE- DROPPING HER OFF (BLACKWELL’S POV) My head was spinning, my mind disoriented. Where was I? In my room? Naah, too bright. My curtains were seldom drawn, and instead of a black setting, white greeted me everywhere I looked—or at least tried to look. This was most certainly not my room. Memories of the night before filled my head as I struggled to sit upright, a sleeping woman beside me confirming my worst fears. The gala, The drinks that wouldn’t stop coming. Carol. Fuck! I had failed… going to that stupid, boring gala with a new perspective, only to go back to my old ways. I was such a fucking failure. The woman in question snuggled closer to me, still very much wrapped in sleep’s warm embrace. I pushed her away irritably—realising a bit too late that I had been unnecessarily mean, but it didn’t matter anyway, she was still very much stuck in her deep sleep. I needed to get out of here. Grabbing my clothes, I quickly donned them and made to l

CHAPTER 4- MATT SUMMERS (Jen's POV)He was home. That was the first thought that came to my mind once I saw my husband's white Range Rover from the distance. Right there and then, I began to panic. He had lied to me. The question was why? Because for all I knew, my husband, Matt Summers, was not supposed to be back from his work trip until Saturday, and it was only Thursday. Under normal circumstances, I shouldn’t have had to be that apprehensive in receiving help from people of the opposite sex, especially when I knew that my husband was out of town, but experience had thought me that he had eyes on me even when he was gone, and that everything I did would someway somehow get to him. It was why I was always careful, but now he was home... and on the one time I'd truly fucked up too.See, I knew that my boss, Mr. Blackwell could sense my nervousness even though I tried my best to hide it, but if he did, he was quiet about it. For that, I was grateful. The call that came through

(Jennifer’s POV)Beep.Beep.Beep.The steady, annoying sound roused me from my slumber, and my eyes opened to the walls of a hospital room. The memories came rushing back almost instantly, making me ring up the bell beside the bed in alarm.Mr. Blackwell!I could only hope that he was okay. If anything happened to him on my behalf, I did not think I could ever forgive myself.“Oh… you’re awake,” A nurse popped her head into my room, a cheerful smile on her face as she walked in, “You had us all worried for a second.”“Who brought me here?” I got straight to the point, tearing the cannula away from my nose. I reached for the IV line, tugging at it in annoyance, and the kind nurse quickly rushed to help me out. “You can’t take that out just yet, Mrs. Summers…” She fixed it back in place. “I believe Mr. Adonis Blackwell brought you,” There was this breathless lull in her voice as she said his name, but all I could think about in that moment was the fact that he was alright.Thank goodne

CHAPTER 6- THE PROPOSITION(Jennifer’s POV)A month!A whole month had passed since Mr. Blackwell rescued me from near death at my now ex-husband’s hands.Ex-husband.I never thought I could get used to the odd word, but it was starting to become easy to accept… easier to use each day.A lot had happened in the space of one month, a lot that I really needed to fill you in on.Okay, so first and foremost, Matt was still in jail.Surprising, right? Well, the power of the Blackwell name was dawning on me more and more as morning rose and dusk fell, changing into days, and then to weeks. Now, I felt relieved… assured that Mr. Blackwell hadn’t lied after all, when he had told me that Matt wasn’t going to be coming back any time soon. I suddenly felt… lighter. Freer.You know, right after I had been discharged, I was driven to the state courthouse, but not before seeing how much of a mess I had become. The medications had really helped with the pain… because I looked absolutely terrible! My

Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 16. A MOTHER'S SACRIFICE
(Jen’s POV)I felt like the world’s worst person, lying to such a powerful man like that and telling him we’d had drunk sex when I knew very well that nothing of that sort had happened.If anyone had asked me a few months ago if I could be this calculative, I would chuckle in amusement and swear on my life that this could never be me, and yet, here I was today.You know, I’ll be very honest. Nothing of that sort had crossed my mind at first… there had been no wicked plots to get my boss into such a situation, but then I’d noticed how my fake fiancé kept chugging down drinks upon drinks after our kiss, and everything had just clicked into place.To think that initially, I was going to seduce him and have sex with him for real so I could pin my baby on him… but now, thanks to my smart thinking, I didn’t even have to anymore.My heart had been in my mouth with fear as he quizzed me on the night after, and I’d told him the weird fabrication. It was funny how after suffering to get him in
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 15. THE NIGHT AFTER
CHAPTER 15- THE NIGHT AFTER(BLACKWELL)It seemed that no one expected that I’d get shackled so soon.Everywhere Jennifer and I passed, women blatantly threw themselves at me in front of her… and if I didn’t know any better, I could have sworn that the sudden announcement of my engagement had someway somehow made me even more eligible than when I was just a single playboy extraordinaire.Hey, I knew what the tabs called me, okay?It’s not like I’m conceited or anything, and besides, I didn’t even like all of that name calling anyway—wait, who am I kidding, I really enjoyed the attention… but really, for how long was I going to keep going down that path?A few weeks ago, I’d promised myself that I was going to change my ways…And perhaps, with Jen by my side, I could do just that now.But speaking of Jen, there was just something different about her— something I just couldn’t put my hands on. I mean, she was beautiful, but not the kind of person I’d usually go for in a woman… and yet,
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 14. THE EXPLOSIVE KISS
“Sure, Mrs. Blackwell,” I adjusted myself in my seat, giving her my full attention. “What is it that you want to talk about?” All the while I was saying this, I was analyzing her, trying to guess what this serious talk was about that she had waited for her son to leave so she could sink her claws into me to tell me about it.You know, now that I think about it, she could have totally waited for the whole party to be over before cornering me like this, it didn’t matter that my boss and I’s table was quite in a secluded corner far away from people’s curious gaze.It really had to be something very important.“Look, Jennifer…” Adonis’ mother started, “I know that when you agreed to come here tonight, this was the last thing you were expecting.” She admitted softly, surprising me a little bit with the line of conversation we were heading towards. “I know that at the very least, you hoped to meet us, his family alone before jumping into this, that you were imagining a small get together wi
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 13. THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY
(Jen’s POV)Low hanging chandeliers, soft, golden light, expensive wine, soothing music from some exclusive quartet band that seemed to be the ‘it’ thing if the excitement of the VVIP crowd gathered in the outrageously huge space were anything to go by… my eyes widened as I took it all in, my nails digging into Mr. Blackwell’s arm as he led me to the special table he had had chosen for what was supposed to be a special night.I couldn’t believe this man! When he had told me we were having a little engagement dinner this evening, I had taken it in the literal sense, expecting just about a few of his family members and perhaps a few friends too, but this, right before my eyes here was anything but. The people gathered here were no less than five hundred for crying out loud!And every single one of them had their gaze fixated on us.I was uncontrollably fuming at this point, but I reined it all in. Hey, we were lying to the man… the way I see it, his every action that I didn’t agree wi
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 12. PUTTING ON A SHOW
(Jen’s POV) Alright, alright… I know I lied. No need to rub it in, jeez. I’ve already told you why I’m doing this, and so I’m not exactly about to explain myself all over again. But in short, it was my baby’s life we were talking about here, and I’ve already said that I was ready to do whatever it took to protect it no matter what, and so I wasn’t about to listen to a bunch of self-appointed moral police drone on about how despicable my plan to trap Mr. Blackwell was. Anyway, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, want to know what’s new in my life? Well, two days have already gone by, and while my boss and his lawyer, Mr. Aldridge were really trying to do whatever it took to delay my ex-husband’s release date, it became obvious with the rise and set of each day that he was surely going to be a free man by the time the month ended. But thankfully, the contract had been drawn up, and both my boss and I had signed it. It included a lot of clauses—sex, love and a whole lot of
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 11. HER OWN VERSION OF THE TRUTH
Unfortunately for my best friend, she didn’t get to accompany me to work like she had wanted to. I guess this time I had her unpredictable work hours as Lawyer for one of the biggest auto companies in the country to thank for this saving grace.Because it would have honestly been embarrassing if she got to catch my rejection in 3D.You see, Akira had absolutely no idea just how rude I had been to my boss, and so she had very high hopes that he would easily reopen his business proposition and allow me to make some changes, but I knew better. As a matter of fact, I totally wouldn’t be surprised if he had already found someone to replace me, because hey… it was freaking Adonis Blackwell we were talking about for crying aloud… playboy billionaire extra ordinaire, Forbes Sexiest Man alive, the very man who went through women like I did underwear, using and discarding them as he pleased.He wasn’t going to wait for me?There was no way in hell he would.Take that and the fact that I’d not e
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 10. OPERATION SAY YES
(Jen’s POV) “So, what now?” I asked my best friend and confidante, as we watched a movie that evening, each of us cozily relaxing in our favorite armchairs as we ate dinner, (something about it making me think of Matt and how he would have freaked out were he to barge in and see us dining on his pristine white chairs.) the heater offering just the right amount of warmth to fight against the cool September night breeze. It was nowhere near December, but the atmosphere already had this Christmas vibe to it, even though I was feeling anything but Christmassy. Thankfully, my questioning coincided right with the end of the movie, some crappy romantic movie about a princess who had settled for someone who wasn’t royalty, and whatnot. The credits were rolling when Akira reached for the remote and muted it, giving me her full attention. She stretched lazily and stood up, taking her now empty plate that had earlier been filled with ramen noodles and heading over to the kitchen. I followed he
