Sold To The CEO Killing You With Kindness
Ella's POVI am sick of it, everything, all the fighting, all the arguments but mostly, I am sick of being angry and unsure. A couple of days I had a heart to heart talk with Dustin. I could have easily lied and told him that I was over loving Alexander, that I was ready to give him my whole life with no strings attached but I would be lying and he deserves so much better than that. He deserves to know that being with me is not going to be an easy task. I know that for sure. Needless to say that he didn't take the conversation too well, he told me that he needed some time to think and so he went back home to Texas. I will say that it was not easy to watch him leave like that, I wonder if it would have been the same if it was Alexander. I don't know but I don't get why I can't just wake up one day and be over him. To wake up one day not feel anything for him. I was not sure that coming back home was going to help me in any way. All that I knew was that I was not going to live whole l
Sold To The CEO Hole In My Heart
Ella's POVI listened to him thinking that it would give me some closure but all that it has done is left me confused even more. I thought that I knew Alexandra and I thought that they knew the kind of man he was but after what he said to me today I am confused. I never thought that a day would come when he would actually care for someone else other than himself. I didn't expect him to come to me and tell me that he was willing to do whatever it is I wanted if it meant that I would be happy. I was taken by that because the Alexandra I thought I knew would have never said that to me. I actually think that for the first time in his life he was being honest with me. I felt like he was pouring out his heart to me and letting me know what was feeling. I will say that as surprising as it was I am still not sure if I can trust this man. I mean how can I even trust that he means the things that he said after he has lied to me so many times about so many things?" Do you mean it?" I asked him

The same I know that I don't want to be without her. She asked me for some space, she said that she needed to get her head together and I want to give her the space she needs.

The house is biggerand if things go well, it might be our family home. I am not going to give up on Ella or my marriage. I am willing to d
Sold To The CEO Giving It My All
Ella's POVI have made peace with the fact that I might never find a happily ever after, that I might have to spend the rest of my life alone. I thought that I could be with Dustin but this morning I found myself packing away the last of his things to send back home to Texas. He didn't say that he was not going to come back but this is not fair to me or my children, neither is it fair to him. I don't want to wake up one morning and hate him, or for him to hate me for not loving him. It is amazing was heartache can you make you do. I almost threw myself at Dustin at the fear of spending the rest of my life alone. I thought that if I didn't have a man with me I wouldn't be able to raise my kids in a proper way. I then had to ask myself if I was doing the right thing for my children, for me to be with a man that I don't love for the rest of my life. I had to ask myself if that was the life that I wanted my children to know and a life where I would only be half happy.I won't lie and say

Sold To The CEO Pain And Pleasure
Alexander's POVI don't usually follow people's advice, especially when it comes to my personal life, I thought that I had all the answers, that I could really be a different man but I soon realised that I was wrong. I suppose talking to Minty helped me to make a few things clear for me, it made me realise what I wanted and why I wanted it. At first I was doing BDSM to deal with issues I couldn't control, I never thought that there was another reason for doing it but after I talked to Minty, I realised that I was using my troubles as an excuse. The truth is that I have always been that kind of a man. I have always had a taste for the extreme, from jumping out of the plane to diving with the Sharks, I have always been the one to live on the edge so my sexual tastes was also extreme. Even before I knew about the BDSM works I always had a thing for bondage and spanking but even then, not even when I was drunk out of my mind, I never did it to Ella, I didn't even think I could. I am abo

Ella's POVIt has been days since the Gala dinner and I honestly don't know what happened but I have been seeing a lot of changes in my husband and as much as I told him to stop buying me expensive gifts, it is like he is purposely trying to ignore me. On top of a very expensive necklace that he got me, he decided to get me an art piece, a very expensive art piece. Last night we went to an art gallery, one of his friends was having his work shown there and so he invited Alexander. It was the first time I set foot in a place like that, up until last night I didn't really think much about art. To me a painting was just a painting and a statue was just a statue but that changed last night. His friend had one of his destopian art pieces and I fell in love with it instantly. The statue was just full of life, the raw materials used were just out of this world and I could somehow imagine that in our home. I didn't tell Alexander that I wanted it, but I told him that I liked it and this morn

I know that if it was up to me she wouldn't have found out at all but she wanted to know and I told her. I told her what was happening and I thought that she would ask me for details which would have been the worst because I don't think I could have been able to utter the words to her. The more I thought of it, the more I hated myself for it. All this time I thought that I was using Lacey as a coping mechanism but that is not true. The truth I that I was taking it all out on her because I was not dealing with things. I also realise that my wife was right when she said that I could not cut off that part of me like it didn't exist.

I know that the insurance said that they would take some time to pay out and I was wondering if I was even able to start all over from the start again. I had put in a lot of work into making that restaurant what it was before that crazy woman burnt it all down. I kept on asking myself what I had done to have so much bad luck and now I know that it had nothing to do with bad luck at all. It had to do with the fact that another woman wanted my husband so bad that she was willing to ruin everything I had in order to get what she wanted and for a moment it seemed like she was going to do it, that she was going to get everything I had. My husband, my daughter and even my marriage. After weeks of worrying about my son, I couldn't just sit and do nothing. I don't know what I would have done if it was not for Michelle, she really came through for me and I don't even know how to thank her. I don't know w
