THE BILLIONAIRE GAME: ROUND TWO 36
"Wait," Lara could hardly find her voice. "You are going to help Detective Spencer incriminate and arrest Aaron?""Fuck, Lara. Of course I am not going to do that. You are going to do it," he replied calmly."You must be out of your mind," Lara said, her voice trembling."What? You are not going to help your darling husband?" Greyson winked."If he were a decent husband, maybe!" As Lara's words tumbled out, tinged with bitterness and frustration, they seemed to ignite an inferno within Greyson. His eyes flashed with a dangerous intensity, his jaw clenched with barely contained rage.In a sudden outburst of fury, Greyson grabbed the glass from the table and hurled it towards Lara with a force fueled by his mounting anger. The glass sailed through the air with deadly speed, aimed directly at her. With reflexes honed by survival instincts, Lara instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the glass projectile. It shattered against the wall behind her, sending a shower of sharp f

In response, Lara received a nod of agreement. Greyson, indeed, did not care, but he knew it was good to be seen as a generous man.And then she raised the plaque with her table number."Eighty thousand dollars from table five. Do we have ninety thousand?" the master of ceremonies encouraged.People diverted their eyes to Greyson's table, curious about the girl who made the bid. Lara hoped there would not be any other bids, as she did not want to spend thousands of dollars on a few milliliters of drink, especially because the money was Greyson's, and she did not want to become even more indebted to that despicable man. But she also did not want to lose.Some murmurs were heard, but they soon ceased when another guest accepted the bid, raising their plaque."We have a dispute, with ninety thousand dollars on table ten," the master of ceremonies said, excited about the course of the proposals."One hundred and fifty thousand dollars," Lara said in a clear tone, raising the plaque once

She reached her limit. Her patience would not allow her to continue that conversation, so the beautiful girl began to move away from the mirror. Lara knew she would have to pass by Sabrina at the door, and decided she would do so while ignoring the blonde's presence. However, she could not help but hear Sabrina's words: "It's been a while since we last saw each other," she said. "The last time was at the cocktail party, right?"The model slid her fingers over the rhinestone clutch she held in her hands. Lara stood just before her, a few steps away. And on the face of the beautiful girl, there was an unreadable expression. Lara did not seem unshakeable, but she also did not seem fragile."We can go longer without seeing each other," Lara retorted."We do not need to keep up the rivalry. You won him," Sabrina smiled like a snake. "Although you already have a husband. Do you like to collect?"Lara had to step away from Sabrina as she thought about the words she heard, certain that she

She looked back towards the elevators and saw Granger walking out of one. If the man did not have such good physical conditioning, Lara might have risked running away. However, she just stood still as he closed the distance.Harley, realizing that the moment wasn't his, stepped away from the beautiful woman. He remained a few steps away, enough to ensure the couple's protection and privacy. Because, after the incident in the elevator, any care would be little.Aaron assessed the woman's posture before him. He knew that his memory truly did not do justice to the beauty of that woman. She was even more beautiful than he remembered. The only thing that stood out was her unhappy expression. More than ever, the man wished to embrace that figure and not let go until they were one."I do not know what Sabrina said, but I do not want you to think we have something. We're just friends," he explained."Friends," she laughed, sarcastic. "She said you were hers," Lara pointed out, letting large

"I am not going to scold you. You can do whatever you want, with whomever you want," Lara replied."That's why Greyson cheats on you. You do not appreciate him," Kesha retorted, a smirk playing on her lips.Lara's hands trembled as she clenched the edge of the kitchen counter, struggling to contain her emotions. The weight of betrayal hung heavy in the air, suffocating her."How could I appreciate a man who fucks with my sister, in my bed?" Lara shot back, her words filled with bitterness and disbelief.Kesha's laughter cut through the tension like a knife. "Oh, come on, Lara. You act like you are so innocent, but we all know you are not. You've had your share of secrets too."Lara's jaw tightened. "This isn't about me. It's about you and Greyson, and the utter lack of respect you both have."Kesha's expression hardened. "Respect? You do not even respect yourself, Lara. You've let Greyson walk all over you for years, and now you are surprised when he finds someone who actually appreci

"Not at all. I am not a possession," she removed his hand from her thigh and placed it on his own leg."That wasn't a question," he asserted. "The name on your marriage certificate is quite temporary, if you must know."She stared at him. Lara was irritated by his territoriality. At what point had this game become a conquest over the other? Did he think that by kissing her, he would be claiming her as his own? She prepared to tell him that, but then the choir finished singing. The church fell into absolute silence as the children returned their microphones and Father Bee stood up. Lara swallowed her words and her pride, as if they were thorns. Granger's green eyes were fixed on hers, daring her to say what she wanted."Children," the priest murmured. "Let us say the final prayer. Everyone, please stand."The whole church rose, including her and the man beside her."I will go prepare for confession," she informed him.Lara prepared to exit to the right, so she would not have to pass

"Confess," he clarified.This time she nodded. "Yes, I've done that countless times."As Granger's gaze bore into hers, she felt a surge of desire coursing through her veins, overwhelming her senses. It was as if they were caught in a magnetic pull, drawn inexorably closer with each passing moment."Then do it once more," he insisted.His hands tightened on her hips. His lips were close, and it reminded her of their taste. With every warm breath, Lara felt him closer.Granger took a deep breath. His blue-green eyes were almost all she could see, and they lingered on her mouth. When he looked at her, he saw her. He saw everything she tried to hide, even from herself. He saw, and he desired."Do it," he repeated, firmer this time.She hesitated, torn between the forbidden allure of his presence and the lingering echoes of guilt that still haunted her conscience. But as his hands trailed tantalizingly along her body, igniting flames of desire within her, she found herself succumbing to

Greyson approached Kesha, his hands holding her face. "Oh, Lara," he whispered, trailing his tongue along Kesha's lips. "If Aaron isn't already in the palm of your hand, make sure he is.""How?" Lara recoiled in disgust.As Greyson's lips pressed against Kesha's, the air seemed to crackle with tension, the atmosphere heavy with the weight of their illicit connection. His kiss was not just a mere gesture of affection; it was a calculated move, designed to convey dominance and control. Greyson kissed Kesha, but stared at Lara.Lara stood frozen in the doorway. Greyson's eyes bore into hers with a predatory intensity, sending a chill down her spine. It was as if he was daring her to challenge him, to defy his authority.When Greyson finally broke away from Kesha, a triumphant smirk played on his lips, his gaze never wavering from Lara's. It was a silent message, a warning that he held all the cards in this twisted game they were playing. "Do something to capture him, something big. So

Aaron grabbed Lara's hands and brought them to the top of her head. He used just one of her hands to press her wrists against the door.The woman had no immediate reaction. "If you do not let go of me, I am going to scream"Aaron ran the tip of his nose along the expanse of exposed skin on Lara's throat. And despite hating her own reaction, she got goosebumps.In turn, the man placed one of his hands on the woman's waist, and then whispered: "Yes, I bet you are going to scream"Aaron buried his face in the crook of Lara's neck. The smell she gave off was enough to dismantle the man. He slid his nose along her skin, bringing out her already heightened senses. Lara sighed, losing herself more by the second. She tried to free her hands, but the man was countlessly stronger.And when Aaron noticed that lingering shivers ran through the woman's body, he slapped her on the butt. The thin fabric of the robe allowed them both to feel the impact of the touch.She let out a startled but not ent

And so his trip was over.**When Lara woke up, her mind seemed out of tune with the rest of the world. She felt a headache the minute she opened her eyes, and then had to close them.Lara did not remember the night before, and had no idea where she was. The bed beneath him was very soft, and probably very large. The sheets had an exquisite scent, so she assumed the room was a luxury hotel.The beautiful woman decided to open her eyes, although the light that infiltrated the panoramic windows was uncomfortable. She analyzed the landscape that unfolded through the glass and realized that she was on one of the highest floors of the building. Lara stood up with some difficulty, feeling her body soften as her feet touched the floor.The room was impersonal, and the bed took up a large part of it. Lara tried to recognize the details, but nothing made sense in her mind.She remembered being upset after her conversation with Kisha. She remembered traveling with Ana for work and ending up dri

"Think on the bright side. You do not have a woman for life, but you can have one a day" Carter murmured, was ignored and smiled.Aaron decided he would not deal with the mess Joseph made. It was not his obligation to pay attention to those women. He felt claustrophobic when he walked past a woman and she touched him, trying to draw him to her.Aaron turned to his friend, and noticed that he was very pleased with all the available women. "I hope you can handle them all" Granger commented, and received a smile from Joseph in response.Carter did not understand Aaron's personality. He was too closed off for someone who could swim in dollars, for someone who could have whatever he wanted, for someone who could have anyone he wanted.Aaron Granger was unknown even to those who knew him.Aaron walked to one of the apartment's three bedrooms, the closest one. The suite was empty, and he entered it. There was a bed with white sheets, as well as fabric curtains. And despite the mild climate,

"You will rot in a fetid cell, I promise.""Put me in the cell, then" just like the inspector, Aaron knew how to provoke.Granger's blue eyes sparkled with challenge. The way he joked with Spencer whenever he could made the inspector's hatred increase. Aaron knew that the police were far from fully discovering the truth, and he would not be the one to put his cards on the table."Why was Benedict killed?" Spencer asked, leaning forward as he stared at the man before him."Isn't it your job to find out?" Aaron returned it."I have access to a very revealing recording about you. Do you know how close I am to incriminating you?" and then the officer began to bluff, hopeful that he would get something. "This is your last chance to confess the truth, Granger. Because if I have to find out everything that happened that night… I won't be merciful."By now, they were both tired of the chase game. Aaron was fed up with being the villain who ruined someone's day. Spencer was tired of running in

Greyson's lips curled into a smirk, a cruel glint in his eyes. "Kisha and I will spend some time out of the country. In the meantime, work," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument.Lara's fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms as she fought to keep her composure. She did not trust herself to speak, the weight of Greyson's words pressing down on her like a suffocating blanket. Without a word, she turned on her heel and fled up the stairs, the echo of her racing footsteps the only sound in the tense silence that hung over the house.Lara stepped into her room, weary from the day's events. Kisha entered and closed the door with a decisive click, her expression expectant. "Do you see how much Greyson cares about me? We're going to travel together," Kisha announced, her voice tinged with excitement and a hint of superiority.Even so, Lara walked to her work desk.Lara glanced up briefly, her mind preoccupied with the weight of responsibilities pressing d

Granger poured himself a third shot of tequila, hoping he would not be conscious for much longer. There was a side table next to the window, and he used it as support for the bottle. The man lifted the glass to his lips and drank all the flammable liquid as if it were water. Aaron did not mind getting drunk, as he would spend many hours on a flight and would have enough time to recover."You are at rock bottom," Volkov, a mysterious man, commented.He did not respond, not even looking at the other man in his office. Aaron was standing by the office window, while Volkov was seated on the couch on the other side of the same room. Granger observed people walking along the Strip; free people, bound by the commitments they had to fulfill."Are your businesses in America coming to an end?" Aaron inquired."For now, yes."Aaron nodded in agreement, indicating that he had heard Volkov. He poured another alcoholic shot for himself, not caring about the consequences he would face. That day had

Among the countless pleasures in Sin City, the police departments also did not rest. The phones rang incessantly in the station, especially on Saturday mornings. And in the midst of the whirlwind that the department proved to be, Lara Carson walked through the reception, alongside Greyson. She felt out of place in that tumultuous environment, with people moving briskly as they raced against time to fulfill their duties."What are we doing here?" she whispered to her husband."You will find out soon," he said, placing his hand on Lara's lower back and guiding her forward. She felt disgusted by that touch, but she did not pull away.Lara approached the reception desk."Hello," Greyson greeted the receptionist, who was typing rapidly on the keyboard in front of her."Good morning. How can I help you?" the woman replied, not even looking at Lara."We've come to see Spencer."The receptionist looked up at the couple in front of the counter. "Inspector Davis will guide you. Please, follow m

"For your own good, please understand. A relationship with you would be marked by tragedies."Lara smiled humorlessly, a weak and melancholic smile. Aaron was the worst kind of man she had the pleasure of meeting. A perfect gentleman, capable of laying the world at her feet or pulling the rug out from under them.She knew that sudden breakup was directly related to George.The woman thought about how dirty that family would have to be for Aaron to push her away so unkindly."If you wanted to have a relationship with me, you would. You do not need to explain, Aaron, I understand that I was just a distraction of the moment.""That's ridiculous," he scoffed.The man wanted to be clear, but there were too many gaps that he would not be able to fill. Perhaps an explanation would leave even more doubts."So ridiculous that you offered me a contract to prove that I would never be more than a signature," Lara accused, turning to Aaron again. The disappointment was evident in her gaze, but no

Aaron's mind was cluttered. All Granger wanted was to live his life. Not the life he could have, but the life he wanted to have.Aaron approached Lara. He still felt he was too dirty to touch her, so he just got close enough to smell her perfume. He wished he could have that woman forever, but he knew that wasn't an option, not for him."I promise by all that I am, Little Angel. When things go wrong, you won't be with me. I will be the only one to pay for the secrets I've chosen to keep," Aaron wished he wasn't so rooted in that feeling. He wished he could simply shut it off, as he had done before. He wanted to extinguish the flame in his heart, but he could not. It was too late not to feel, even though it was too dangerous to feel."When you find out who I really am, I hope you've forgotten my name," the man could not resist. He ran his fingers through Lara's hair, unaware of how intense the touch was for her. Then, Aaron hugged her. The woman's back was pressed against his chest, an
