THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. OR MAYBE NOT.
“Is this you stylishly admitting that you could kill a person?”King ignored the anger that clouded her face and he asked her.Payton swallowed the lump in her throat and curled her fist into a tight ball.She could take any name. She could accept any names he had called her… but, not a murderer.She was already palpitating and her hands were starting to shake, instead, she hurriedly hid them behind her.The last thing she wanted was to let this man find out her weakness.“Y… you…” she breathed heavily.“I mean, I was only asking a question and all you could say was that. You said you could kill me. Does that not mean that if you had the chance, you would kill me?” He asked as he stared at her intensely.“S… stop talking like that,” she exhaled.“Like how? Am I making sense? Do you hate that I am telling the truth?”“I did not kill anyone and I never will!” She screeched and then panted laboriously.King squinted his brows as he stared at the woman whose breathing was starting to get

“Did you find anything?”It was early the next morning when King received the call from his informant.Before he had slept the previous night, he had tossed in bed as his mind kept going to Payton.He wondered if she had slept and if she was okay.Not to lie, he hated that he wondered about her.Well… he probably did because he does not trust her.Yeah, that was the only logical reason.“Yes, sir. I looked into her hospital record as you said and I saw that she is suffering from panic attacks and anxiety disorder. She was seeing a therapist till last year after she got fully treated for her insomnia,” he explained.“She suffered from insomnia?”“Yes. According to her medical history, she has been battling with them for about eleven years.”“Eleven years?”“Yes. I dug further and it was around the time her mother died.”“Ah… so, she still suffers from the panic attack?”“Yes. I think there are things that trigger it. That was not fully detailed.”King nodded his head and exhaled. “Did

Payton adjusted her clothes for the umpteenth time, looked in the mirror, and tilted her head.Wondering why her mother-in-law was suddenly calling for her and King, she sighed.Not like it was wrong of her to do so or anything, after all, they had not visited the woman since they got married.It has been almost two weeks since they got married and their relationship did not improve by a bit.“Could you help me with the rope?” She asked Tiana who entered with a cup of coffee in her hand.“You are beautiful as always,” she complimented as she tied the rope from the back.Payton was wearing a silky blue long gown that parted from her thigh to her leg.It hugged her body tightly and then flared from her waist.With a silver bag and shoes that complemented her dress, she knew she looked perfect too.“Thank you, Tiana,” she smiled at the lady who never failed to compliment her every time.“He is waiting for you downstairs, though. And he looked very impatient,” she pointed out and Payton s
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. YOUR SEXUAL LIFE.
“Ma’am, you left your ba…”Tiana left her mouth wide open as she saw the couple in that intimate position and then pressed her lips together.One would assume they were madly in love and could not stay away from each other when it was actually the opposite.No, even right now, she could question what she had always witnessed.Why are they hanging on to each other like they are in love?Payton and King hurriedly disentangled, pushing each other away gently.Payton looked around and breathed out.Why is it suddenly hot?She asked herself, fanned her face with her palm and when her eyes landed on Tiana, she waved her hand at her.Tiana hurried to Payton, gave her her bag, and then watched as the woman turned to leave.“I don’t like you either!” She whispered in King’s ear and then hurried down the stairs.King stood in his position for a few seconds and then placed his index finger on his lips.“Has she always had those full lips?” He asked out unconsciously.“Sir?” Tiana asked and he t
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. OUR SEXUAL LIFE.
“So, this wild ginseng is mainly for King. It will help more blood to flow into the penis, improving your erection and…”“Wait wait wait, mum!” King breathed heavily and stood from the chair.How could his mum say those words without filtering it?What is with helping more blood flow to his penis?”“What? Are you embarrassed?” Amerie blinked her eyes innocently and then turned to look at Payton whose cheeks had gotten red.“What is with you two? Are you babies?”“What are you doing, mum?” King drew his brows together.“Sit down,” she hissed.“Mum.”“Sit,” she shot him a dead stare and he swallowed hard.“I can’t believe you called us here for this,” he hissed and sat grudgingly.“So, this is wild ginseng,” she resumed.“It in fact has a lot of health benefits, so your wife can use it too, but make sure you take it more. It will boost your erection, and make you enjoy sex better.”“Have I ever complained to you about my sexual life,” King groaned with a bowed head.He made sure to not

King lowered his eyes to Payton who wouldn’t stop smiling as she teased him.“Right.” He hissed and returned to his seat.“Now, I believe that with this little that I have done, I will be receiving good news from you two soon,” Amerie tilted her head.“What good news are you expecting without adding me to it?”They both turned around when they heard the voice of the woman that just entered.Payton pursed her lips as she stared at Lucy, her sister-in-law, and then forced a smile.“You didn’t tell me they are coming over,” she said as she moved over to them.“The same way you didn’t tell me you were coming,” Amerie said.“I had business in town, so I thought of stopping by.”“Hi, our beautiful wife,” she turned to look at Payton and smiled.“Hi.”“You will not greet me?” Lucy asked King who looked away from her.“Did you not tell me to not talk to you ever again?”“Since when have you started listening to me?” “Are you two on bad terms?” Amerie asked.“She is mad I didn’t introduce my

“King, I am just…” Lucy started“Enough, please.”“Hey, you trust her facade?” Lucy scoffed.“Payton is my wife and you will not… no, you will never disrespect her that way ever again. Okay?” He asked, seething in anger.“King, you are making…”“Answer me!” He bellowed, making the woman beside him flinch.“Okay,” she surrendered with a frown on her face.“Good,” he said and then turned to face Payton.“Let’s leave,” he forwarded his palm to her and then nudged for her to take it.Payton glanced at his hand and then swallowed hard.Why was her heart excited because he took her side?“W… we are leaving?” She finally spoke and he nodded his head.“I told Mum we’re leaving already. Let’s go home,” he said, his hand still stretched her.Home.He said home.Her heart itched again.She swallowed hard and then dropped her palm on his.As King tightened his grip on her hand, she dropped her eyes on Lucy who had the most resentful expression on her face and she tore her face away.King pulled h

“I… I am so honored to be in your house…” Ava groaned softly as she settled on the couch and then looked around the above-average, beautiful living room.She pressed her lips together, feigning gentleness as much as she could.“I am glad you honored my invitation,” Max smiled as she walked over to her with a glass of water.Ava collected it from him, wrapped her hands around it, and blinked her eyes at him before she drank a little from the water.“Thank you,” she said, leaned closer to the table, and dropped it there.“I hope you did not mind that I asked you to come here. I know we should have visited the restaurant or something,” he said as she looked down at her.“No no no!” Ava exclaimed and hurriedly grabbed the tip of his shirt.“I am glad I am here,” she said and pressed her lips together.Max nodded his head and smiled. “What would you like to have?”“Anything you offer me,” she said and he nodded his head.“I’ll be back.”After Ava watched Max out of sight, she leaned in the

“Fucking fuck!” Payton screamed as soon as she entered the room and locked it behind her.She stood transfixed in the middle of the room, covered her mouth with her palms, and then stared into a space.Hold on… did she really have sex with… KING?!No. No way that would happen.That would have never happened.But… How can she explain their naked body joined together on the couch in the morning?Did he really take advantage of her?There was no way she would let King have se—And the memories of the previous night came crashing into her head which made her widen her eyes and then scream."Don’t look so naive. Your dick is shaped like a banana, and I think I had imagined it getting into me once, right?"The words she had said hit her head and she widened her eyes again, this time like it was going to pop out of her head.“THE FUCK— I SAID THAT?!” She screamed at no one in particular and then shook her head.“No way I said that. Jesus! That is defamation!”“But… we truly had sex?” She sl
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. AWKWARDNESS.
King couldn’t believe that he was doing this right now. It shouldn’t be right because Payton was so wasted, but he couldn’t bring himself to pull back either. The feeling of her lips on his was so intense, and he couldn’t stop himself from licking her lips like it was a cherry. He slowly pulled her by the waist, but she slipped once more into his arms. He laughed softly, unable to believe that Payton was actually in his arms. "Think about it, you wouldn’t be able to leave my hold if you keep doing this. So, you have all the time in the world to leave now," he said softly."You talk too much," she mumbled as she placed both hands on either side of his face.King growled as he looked into her drunken eyes. "I don’t want to talk too much anymore," he whined as he pulled her head down into a kiss.He could feel her hand all over his body, and he loved it. Their kisses turned sloppy, and Payton tried to slide his shirt off. She was literally wrestling with it at that point. King softly
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. THE ALCOHOL.
“What if I told you that the feeling is mutual?” He asked amidst laughter, enjoying every bit of anger that was on her face.“I hate you so so much!” She shrieked and tried to slap his arm again, but he was quick to catch it.He dragged her down to his position, her face just a few inches away from his.“We…” King started, his breath fanning her cheek.“Are we ever going to stop fighting and probably get on the same page?” He asked, almost in a whisper.Payton stared at his pink lips and then breathed out heavily. “I doubt that, asshole.”She pushed him away and then stood upright. She adjusted her clothes and then walked away.King leaned in the chair comfortably, placed his index finger on his lips, and then smiled.“So cute.”He does not know exactly what was cute, but, ‘so cute.’===Payton exhaled as she stabbed the another piece of the stir-fried beef and put it in her mouth.It had been a week and a couple of days since she had that discussion with King and to her greatest surp
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. SO ATTRACTIVE.
King stared at Payton whose legs staggered and then settled on the floor gently.Was she being sentimental because of what he had said?If he knew that he would be getting this reaction from her, he might have told her since.In fact, he would have told her that the moment he found out.“No one believed me,” she started as she picked on her fingers.“Only Savanah did, though.”“Ah… Savannah is my friend, but she has traveled out of the country again,” she said as if he had asked her who Savannah was.“Even my father didn’t believe me. No one did. In fact, it got to a point that I started to believe that maybe, I had done it on purpose. Maybe I had gone to your room that night by myself… or maybe I had set you up like you had claimed…” she inhaled and shook her head.“The truth is not always what we see, right?” She chuckled.“Even Ava did not believe me and that was painful because she knew so well that I would not have done that.”‘But she set you up, dummy.’King thought inwardly.W
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. JUST A VICTIM.
When King had arrived home and had not met Payton, he, at first thought she was somewhere around their perimeter but when he walked around and didn’t find her, he proceeded out of their property.Finding Payton with another man was the least of what he was expecting. She didn’t know anyone here, so he did not expect that he would find her with someone. A man especially.They were standing so close to each other that he wondered what they were talking about.Not thinking twice, King rushed over to her, and then wrapped his arm around her waist, like he was marking his territory.“What are you do… doing here?” she struggled to ask the man who refused to let go of her even for a second.“I have been looking for you,” he repeated, still staring at the man.“Ah… he is your…”“I am her husband,” he said as he finally released his grip on Payton.“Why are you here?” Payton grabbed the tip of his clothing.She knew this look in his eyes.He looked like he was ready to pounce on Ramon and then

“I… I did not know you could cook though,” King said after he finally finished eating in silence.“I guess I should have walked around with vegetables hanging around my neck,” she said casually, and he shook his head.“You could have just accepted that compliment without being insultive,” he hissed.“How is that a compliment? You think I could not cook. Is that a compliment?”“Is it not? Women like you don’t know how to cook,” King said as he worked on his juice and he was still drinking it before he realized that he might have said something to annoy the woman.“Now, that is an insult. You cannot tell me otherwise,” Payton seethed and he shook his head.“You think that is an insult?!” He widened his eyes.“Women like me… It sounds like you are being prejudiced.”“Or it is you giving it too much meaning,” he shrugged his shoulders off.“I guess I should not have gone through the hassle of cooking for you.”“It is a hassle?”“You are ungrateful,” Payton smacked her tongue and stood up.
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. A THREAT.
The previous night had to be the most hectic night that Payton had ever had.Did she even close her eyes at all? She doubted it.The evident eye bags were proof on their own.When she and King had retired to the room after a very silent and awkward dinner, she divided the bed with the side pillows on the bed and warned the man sternly to not cross the line.King only watched while she performed what he had called stupidity.It was not like they were little kids that something would happen even if their bodies just touched a little.After the woman finished dividing the bed, he lay on the side of the bed, and he did not know why he had slept off almost immediately.Only when he woke up at midnight did he see that the woman was sleeping, while sitting and her back resting on the wall.He shook his head, and then returned to sleep, comfortably of course.When they woke up, he could hear the woman cussing and mumbling that she had a worse night, but still, he said nothing and had his busi
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. IN WHICH ROOM.
When the chauffeur dropped them off late at night at the house that their mother had arranged for them, Payton breathed out in relief as she entered the beautiful house that was literally built with glass.While she was outside, she could see the inside clearly and even though she could, she could not wait to enter the house.It was a beautiful glass house that was located by the island, and this was the kind of sight that she had always longed for.Maybe it was nice that she was on this honey— no, vacation.She had not had the chance to travel out for vacation before. It was all for work, and strictly work.It was not that she could not afford to, but she spent all of her time working, and coming up with new ideas.The pressure of running her mother’s art gallery was a bit heavy and she had never admitted it to anyone before.She wanted to do well.She wanted to work so well that no one would blame her mother for leaving her with something like that.And she knew she was trying. She
THE BIILLIONAIRE’S SHOTGUN MARRIAGE. THIS MARRIAGE.
Payton and King sat in silence in front of each other in the plane as it forced its move forward to the air.Payton leaned her head comfortably in her seat and shook her head.Before they had entered the plane, King and her had tried to persuade their mother but Amerie remained adamant and then went ahead to tell them that if they kept pestering her, she would extend it by two months.The plane was silent. It was just them and the flight attendants in the awkwardly comfortable plane.She had never been on a plane alone before. Not even when she had business outside the country. Why would she anyway?The space they were in was so huge and comfortable that it could pass for a room. The seats were facing each other and without saying much, they settled in front of each other even though there were many seats in the plane.As she remembered again that she would be stuck with King in an unknown place for the next four weeks, she breathed out in frustration and shook her head.King raised
