THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE FAKE MARRIAGE ARRANGEMENT
Edmund tapped his feet furiously on the floor as he waited. Initially, he'd been Tallington them in slow rhythmical patterns but he'd soon gotten tired of waiting and his frustration was transformed into anger that he let out by punishing the poor Italian shoes that he wore.Being a man of authority himself, Edmund was not used to waiting for anyone. But this was important. So important that it was probably worth the wait.He'd been waiting at his attorney's office for almost an hour and a half to have a conversation with him, a conversation that he intended to use to determine what direction his future was going to take.Out of respect for him, his secretary had let me into his office where he waited for his return. She'd made it a point of duty to check on him every half hour to make sure that he was fine and to also inform him that her boss was aware that he was around and would be with him shortly.When the door finally opened and Mr. Bob Russell stepped into his office, Edmund ex
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE INTERROGATION
Detective Camille Adams sighed heavily as she sank into the seat in her cubicle. Her partner stood by her side, both hands holding his waist. He heaved a despondent sigh.The two of them mulled on the unspoken question that hung in the air. Now that Max Walker had refused to talk despite all their attempts to glean the truth out of him, what were they going to do?"I think we're not torturing him enough," Detective Adams said suddenly. She brushed away some wisps of air that had fallen over her face before speaking again. "Maybe we need to try a new approach. A crueller one.""Are you kidding me right now?" Detective Cooper's eyes widened. "You just tried out the Chinese water torture on him. Yet, he didn't talk. What makes you think there's something worse that we can do to him to get him to talk?"The Chinese water torture mechanism or Chinese dripping water torture was a kind of torturing system where the victim was placed in a position such that his movement was restricted from al
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE PRICE FOR THE TRUTH
Detective Adams halted at once. A thrill went through her. She recognized the tone of his voice at once. It was the tone of someone who had fought so hard to stay strong but could no longer hold on.It was the voice of a man that had finally broken and was ready to tell the truth. But there were doubts. What if he was telling her one convincing lie or the other to distract her from finding out the truth?It seemed very unlikely. His tone was unmistakable. She knew she'd come dangerously close to the truth and she wasn't going to miss the one chance at grabbing hold of the truth.She twirled around, stepped forward and unstrapped the metal frame that held his face in place for the ice cold water to drop on it. She set his face properly. She needed to see his face while he told the truth."I see you're ready to talk. So by all means, go ahead." She took a seat.Max Walker chewed on the corners of his mouth for a few long seconds. He seemed to still be having trouble telling her the trut
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE ASSASSIN'S DUTY
Shaped like a rattlesnake, the man curled himself up on the wall. He pressed the barrel of his pistol against his neck and closed his eyes as if embracing a lover.He savored the feeling of power that enveloped him. He looked down at the unsuspecting humans moving to and fro the hallway, oblivious of the fact that somewhere in the building, danger was lurking and lying in wait for somebody that was being held in the building.They were right to be bothered. He'd not come for any of them. He'd come specifically for one person; one person who'd broken the code of conduct or was about to and was going to pay dearly for it with his life.It was uncomfortable, crouched in his hiding place, but the dull ache in his thighs was a small price to pay for what the man whom he'd been told to kill had done.Just a millisecond ago, he would have been caught had his sharp ears not picked up the sound of the approaching footsteps easily or his eyes not caught sight of the approaching shadows.In his
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE DATE THAT WENT WRONG
Emily sat still, taking her breathing slowly. Edmund's announcement had somehow pinned her to the seat. She did many wild guesses in her mind but could not exactly pinpoint what the problem was.She could not remember the last time she'd seen Edmund looking so broken and serious at the same time. Had someone died? What did that have to do with Charlotte being pregnant? Was there some sort of connection that she'd missed in all these?"Only my mother knows about the pregnancy right now and I'd like it to remain that way. If my father finds out about it, there are chances that he could find out that what we have together is a lie too. I don't want that to happen."Emily still could not see where she fit in his story. She didn't keep her thoughts to herself."First of all, congratulations on your baby."She wasn't at all prepared for the outburst that followed from Edmund."Do I look happy to you?" He barked. "Do I look like I want this baby right now? But what choice do I have? He's bei
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE GREATEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE
Randall stood there, transfixed at the spot. His heart lurched forward. What did Amy Johnson know that was powerful enough to ruin his chances of being with her? Had she heard something she shouldn't have heard?He wasn't sure. He'd been very careful. Standing there before her like a prisoner that was about to receive his sentence, he tried to hold his true emotions but they'd still shown on his face somehow.He was confused and surprised at the same time. Amy Johnson soon put him out of his misery."I feel like I've been dumb the whole time," she began. This can't be good, Randall thought to himself."I mean, I should have seen the signs. Every time we met, it was because you wanted to find out one thing or the other from me. Like that's literally all we do during our meetings. It got me thinking. Did it mean that if I had no information to trade with you, we'd never get to see?"Randall was not sure he was following where she was headed, but he listened patiently. She was yet to hi
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY
Emily had always hated to be at Dally Villa. Other than the first time she'd been there, she'd never really enjoyed her visits there since then because of the fact that her therapy sessions with Jason and the shrink were held there.Every time she came to Dally Villa, she was one step closer to being caught and that was something she did not even want to imagine.But today, however, Dally Villa seemed like an escape route for her from all the chaos that had been going on in her life. First, she'd found out that Charlotte was pregnant for Edmund. Next, the news of SkyNet continuing to drown despite all her attempts to keep it afloat ruined her day.She needed some time away from her life and from reality. Jason had been more than elated when he received the call from her, informing him of her visit. He'd told her that he would close from work soon just to come be with her but Emily was not sure she wanted that. She wanted to be alone with her thoughts by the poolside. And that's exact
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS A BROKEN HEART
Detective Camille Adams doubled her footsteps as she neared the elevator. She took it all up to the fifth floor of the building where the technical department was located.About sixty seconds ago, she'd received a call from the new technical crew member, Charlie Rodrigues informing her of the discovery he'd just made. It changed everything.She hoped with everything in her that Charlie was right. Because if he was, then there was still hope that this could still be sorted out. She was running out of breath when she finally reached the monitoring room.Charlie was seated there, a knowing smile on his face. She'd come to hate that smile so much. And he always had it on every time they met in the hallway or at the driveway or anywhere else they bumped into each other.It gave her the impression that he knew something she didn't know. It further buttressed her incompetence. Despite the fact that it would look as if she didn't know what she was doing if Charlie eventually sorted things out

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
