THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS CORNERED
Edmund Hamiton was in a state of deep wrath when he stormed out of his office. In his mad state, he'd not stopped to explain anything to Emily. All he cared about was putting a stop to all the madness that was going on. Charlotte had to leave. The deal was off!He found her downstairs, pacing through the sitting room engrossed in deep thoughts. When she saw Edmund enter, she stopped abruptly at the spot and glared at him. Edmund stared back at her in defiance."You need to leave, Charlotte," he said, fixing her a cold stare. "The deal is off."Charlotte stated back at him in disbelief, her eyes boring into his."You're joking, right?""I'm afraid not," he retorted, his voice firm. "I don't want the deal with you anymore. Surely, you of all people understand that."Charlotte studied him for a long moment, unable to find her voice."What changed your mind? Her?" She laughed sarcastically. "You think she cares about you more than I care about you?""There is no relationship between me an

Ronnie Hartman stared blankly at the computer screen before him. The name of the file read: Confidential: Emily Peterson.Just seeing that name on the screen made his blood run cold. He was sitting inside his bedroom in his moderate apartment. There was a guestroom and a sitting room just one hallway away. It was matchday but he'd exited the sitting room just a few minutes ago to have some time to himself to think, but more than that, he wanted to work.He reminisced on what had happened a few days ago at work when his boss had called him into his office and sent him on an errand that had taken him by utter surprise, not merely because of the type of work he wanted him to do, but because of who it involved.Emily Peterson, the one name that had haunted his dreams for the past two nights was the person he was asked to keep an eye on, although he would have preferred the word 'investigate.' That was what this was. An illegal investigation to look for something that did not exist.Perha

The night dragged unbelievably slowly until dawn settled on the Earth. Emily Peterson woke up with a throbbing headache. She sat up on the bed and leaned back on the bed rest. She glanced over and saw Edmund lying beside her, snoring softly. It took a moment for everything to come back to her. Edmund had been gone from his office for up to thirty minutes. When he'd returned, he was unusually calm and sullen. She'd been forced to ask what that was about and who Charlotte was but Edmund had said nothing, at least nothing that made sense to her. Only that she was an aggrieved ex who was facing some financial trouble and needed a place to crash in for a while. Of course, it did not make sense to Emily but judging from the redness of Edmund's eyes, she could tell that this was probably not the best time to push the discussion. Edmund disappeared for the rest of the day. He gave her his office to work in and informed the cook to serve her lunch and dinner. He reappeared at about 9 pm, and

He gritted his teeth to stop himself from cursing under his breath. He'd done that already for the umpteenth time. His head was about to explode. How could she lie to him?His mind steered away to the many explanations of what might be going on, but none made sense. Emily had never cheated on him, not even once. So, what was the motive this time? Who was the man that was trying to steal her away from him?The more he thought about it, the more it made him mad. He pictured him placing her on the wall and nestling in with her like he usually did, placing his filthy hands all over her creamy skin and making love to her.Amidst all his attempts to stop himself from cursing under his breath, Jason cursed again in frustration. He yearned to break something, anything, to let out all the anger he felt. But looking around him, there was no material thing that could take the full weight of his wrath.He squeezed his eyes shut, blocking out the rear of the world and pictured Emily the way he'd a

"There's no need to be uptight, Charlotte," Detective Randall Harrington said. He managed a smile. "We're on the same page here."Charlotte appeared to be thinking. On second thoughts, she said, "I'll have some tea.""Of course."He disappeared to the dining room across from the sitting room and returned a moment later with a glass of tea. He handed her the cup of sweet tea and tried not to stare at her full sensual lips as she sipped from the steaming glass.Beautiful was the wrong word for this petite brunette. She was sexy. Painfully sexy. She was creamy skin and velvet softness and quivering vulnerable femininity, every inch of a lady.The only incongruous note about her was her attitude. Beneath her four-hundred-dollar coat, this woman was cocky to the bone.She reminded him of his wife, Amelia. Like him, she came from stinking wealth and her advantage in life rubbed off hugely on her personality. It was her cockiness and his inability to stick with her alone that had caused his

Rayne Parker stood before the counter and gazed out the window. It was a beautiful spring morning at California Avenue with omens of summer everywhere. On each side of the road running from California Avenue down to Lincoln Drive, bright pink blossoms were already bursting forth over the whitewashed walls of the houses. Rayne had often been struck by those whitewashed walls. It seemed incongruous to have such humble exteriors surrounding such lavish mansions, each one stuffed full of every luxury money could buy.Rayne worked at one of such mansions. It was a shopping mall, albeit not an ordinary one. They sold things ranging from groceries to superficial things like cosmetics and every manner of luxury clothing.She'd started working here about a year before and there was only one regular set of customers that she was accustomed to. She recognized them when she saw them. They always had that same look of unbothered regret on their faces. They regretted what they did but they were n

Edmund opened his diary, a padded red-cover book with his name written on it and wrote;"Dear diary,I have no idea what this feeling is but I do hope it's not love. It feels stupid to be so vulnerable because of a single human. It feels horrible to start being affectionate towards a mere mortal. Whenever I see someone so much as look at her, whether man or woman, I want to kill them. It's crazy what she does to me! If this is love, then, I just want somebody to shoot me in the head and end it all."He slammed the diary shut and buried his head in his palms, his mind wrapped in confusion. He was thinking of everything and nothing in particular. The mundane things of life. That was what he called them.Just this morning, he'd received a message from his mother. She was asking him how things were going along with 'Laura'. He'd told her that the relationship was moving smoothly and had hoped that it would end there. But of course, it didn't. She'd gone ahead to make him fix a dinner date

Edmund stared at Dre for a long time, or rather, he stared into space for a long time. Dre's genial hopeful face just happened to be in the way. A few minutes ago, he'd arrived at Sibley Memorial hospital where he'd learnt that Emily had been admitted a few minutes ago. The text message he'd received on his phone was supposedly typed by Dre who had now introduced herself as Emily's friend. There was something familiar about her heavily made-up face but he could not quite place his hand on it yet. All he knew, for now, was that Dre was nice and down to earth and willing to sacrifice anything for her friend and…. The doctor walked in. She wore a bleached white laboratory coat over the shirt and trousers that she had on. Edmund and Dre cleared the way for her to pass through. She went straight to Emily and placed the stethoscope on her body. Her face bore a grim look. "Will she be alright?" Dre asked, her voice filled with despair. Dr. Mia Sanders shook her head. A small, hopeful s

THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS SHATTERED HOPES
Life had suddenly turned good for Emily. It was barely a week into her engagement and the soles of her feet had stepped into more bridal shops than she'd stepped into restaurants in her entire life.It wasn't exactly her fault. Jason wanted a quick wedding. The wait was killing him and he needed the wedding to be over and dine with in no time. He'd reintroduced her to his family and his mother had even begun warming up to her, despite her earlier cold feelings towards her.Emily wasn't sure whether it was the universe that was tired of seeing her suffering and had decided to make things better for her or it was just purely out of merit but whatever it was, she was grateful for it.Today, she was going to go with Mia and her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Mrs. Wendy Campbell to yet another boutique that had a bridal shop to pick a wedding dress.The boutique was owned by one of Mrs. Campbell's influential friends. She was going to take the ladies there to show them around and also catch up
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE ENGAGEMENT
Seeing Edmund jump down from his jeep and advancing towards her like some maniac made her blood to suddenly stop flowing. She stood rooted at the spot and plotted her next move.Directly across from her, Jason was standing on his own, waiting for her. No matter the direction that Edmund came from, he was going to see him.There was no need to run away. Edmund didn't look like he was going to back away easily. The only decision she now saw was to stand back and contend with him or maybe reason with him.They didn't have to cause a scene here. In fact, if Edmund cooperated, no one would have to know what the problem with them was.As Edmund continued to take quick strides to reach her, all her hopes of reasoning with him evaporated into thin air.Edmund didn't look anything like the Edmund she knew. He wore nothing else but a fades shirt that shouldn't have been seen outside and a pair of trousers that were at least two sizes smaller than him.He looked even worse. His facial hair was s
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE FUNERAL
All around the garden, black umbrellas formed pinnacle of covering over the over hundred people that had come to witness the lowering of her coffin to the ground.It was unarguably the most horrifying scene that Emily had ever witnessed. It was hard to just stand there and not shed tears while the burial proceedings for Dre Sinclair who was amongst other things, her friend was ongoing. She thought she had her acts together all this time. Not even when the priest had delivered a pitiful sermon about how people ought to lead good lives when they were alive so that when they died like Dre had just done, their spirit would not be filled with regret, had Emily shed a single tear.The high point of the event was when everyone was led to the graveside, dug in the middle of a beautiful garden. It was just the kind of place that Dre would have wanted to rest in, had she been alive to make her decision. A place filled with so much calmness and serenity, where she would forever commune with th
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS NO CHOICES LEFT
The man slipped out of the door unnoticed, feet barely touching the ground as he struggled to make it out of there without making a sound.Just a few meters away behind him, Jerry Ishag's body lay lifeless, his face bent over on the table. He'd died with tears rolling down his face.A part of him felt guilty for what he'd done but there was no undoing his action neither was there another option. It was a dog-eat-dog world. You either ate or got eaten. If he chose to disobey the order that had come for him to kill Jerry, that would be him signing his death warrant with his own hands.It was best to obey and stay alive to fight another day. The image of Jerry lying helplessly while the poison worked inside his body, killing him slowly was certainly going to haunt him for life. But Andre had no regrets, only guilt. Even if he'd refused to get the job done, another person would have been hired to finish Jerry off once and for all. And afterwards, come after him.By killing him, he'd save
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE PROPOSAL
Charlotte arrived breathlessly at his door. It'd taken a lot of guys to admit to her fault and finally make the trip here but in the end, she decided that it was all worth it. She was never really welcome back at Edmund's house anyway. At least here, she had a man that loved her, a man that wanted to be with her and most of all, a man that was determined to take care of her.Those were things that Edmund could never ever do for her. So, her fall was a blessing in disguise. At least now she'd get to love her truth and loving her truth wasn't as hard as the lies she'd been trying to keep up with all along.She didn't bother to knock on his door. He barely went anywhere these days. He just stayed at home and read all the books on his shelf. When she was around, they would make love from sunrise to sunset.As happy as she was about this new development, she still had her doubts about the new life that he'd adopted for himself. Would he be able to take care of her if he continued to live
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL
Outside, Emily could barely focus on the road that lay ahead or any other thing for that matter. It was hard to focus on anything knowing that she could be in the police cell any minute.The idea of trusting Edmund to keep everything that had happened between them simply did not appeal to her. He wasn't just going to allow her to get away with everything she'd done.That's why she needed to clean up her mess and get out of town. This town had taken so much from her. Now, all she wanted to do was stay far away from it and count her losses.In reflective moments such as these, Emily couldn't help but think about how lonely her life had just gotten. With Dre dead and Mia grieving, there was really nobody else to talk to.Well, except for Jason who'd gotten so busy with work that he barely had time for her anymore. There was also her father. But surely, he too would be busy with work.Emily was in the mood to throw in a surprise on her old man. She didn't bother to think about it or call
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER
She struggled to breathe but the stubborn burning sensation in her chest was so great that every attempt to breathe made her feel a lot worse than before.Everyone was looking down at her on the floor, waiting for her to say something, to clear the air and to answer all the questions that they had, both the ones that were said and the ones that weren't said yet. But the most demanding of them all was Edmund, maybe because she was betrayed on a very personal level. He refused to give in to her show of being hurt and continued to probe her to know what was going on."I'm sorry I lied," she said, making an effort to speak. "I didn't mean to lie. And I'm very sorry about it. ""What do you mean by you didn't mean to lie?" Edmund probed. "You did what you did with very clear eyes, so why are you pretending that it was a mistake now?" He rose from his squatting position, scratched his head rather roughly and paced to the end of the room. When he returned, he faced Charlotte squarely in the
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS TWICE BETRAYED
From the first day he was arrested and brought in here, his hope had wavered. For people like him that weren't worth a ransom, no one would even notice he was missing and no one would come looking for him.The only thing Jerry Iahag now lived for was to know the truth. The moment he knew the truth about who sold him out and punished the offender accordingly, he would gladly tell the truth and accept whatever penalties went with it.But he was quite sure of one thing. He wasn't going down this path alone. It was either he brought everyone else who was involved down with him or he told the truth and struck a deal with the detectives, a deal that would allow him to return to the outside world again, to hunt down whoever had betrayed him.But with Andre's presence in the station, his hopes were restored. He suddenly didn't look forward to dying anymore. Like an animal who'd been caged for too long, he longed for freedom. He longed to breathe the air outside the walls of the police station
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE FAMILIAR VISITOR
About thirty miles away, an unknown visitor slipped into the premises of the police station. Dressed in a pair of khaki shorts and a blue UCLA T-shirt, he looked very ordinary.But there was nothing ordinary about this man. His name was Andre Anderson and he was a very well-known friend of Jerry Ishag who was still being held in the station.Today, however, he was not there at the police station as Jerry Ishag's friend. He was there as a traitor, ready to perform the last act of betrayal to his friend.Getting into the station was made very easy as he'd had access to the map of the entire building and chosen to go through the places which were less guarded than the others. He got in noiselessly, slipping in like he was invisible. Taking the front door was suicidal as there would be many officers waiting to receive him. But Andre had a better plan. There were two main doors in the station. One opened up at the entrance of the building while the other one was at the rear of it.He chos
