"You live here?" Susan laughed walking closer to me as her eyes scanned my appearance from my head to toe. I may not have much but my fashion style and taste is very classy and expensive. One wouldn't be able to tell I was an average person from just looking at me. I was dressed in a royal blue maxi dress that extenuated my curves and my long red hair was loose and complemented my dress. The only person who didn't appreciate me was Edward. "Yes, I do." i snapped back at her. My mind was roaming all over the place with so many possibilities. "Why?" She asked me. What business is it of hers? "It's complicated. Susan, why are you here?" She was testing my patience . "I'm going out with Edward Silver." She said smoothly, like she didn't know he was my ex and we used to be best friends. We fell out when she moved away from New York to Chicago and couldn't keep up with communication. Now she's back. "Since when?" I asked her, feeling irritated from her words. This thing between them certainly didn't start today. "Since we found out we were interested in each other." She pouted, smiling after as her eyes darted right through mine. "How could you do this to me Susan? Why would you go after Edward? I knew you always had eyes for him. Did our friendship mean nothing to you?" "Oh grow up Vanessa. You and Edward are old news. Besides, you and I both know we aren't that close anymore. Am I supposed to feel guilty for dating the King of New York?" She laughed again, twirling her blonde hair with her fingers. "I always knew you were a Bitch Susan. You're Unbelievable." I cursed at her, controlling myself from throwing a slap across her face. "Careful, you shouldn't be talking to me like that. Your days in this beautiful Mansion are numbered. When I move in, you won't ever set foot in here again." She warned with jealousy written all over her face. I can't believe she had so much audacity. "We'll see about that." I replied challenging her. There was no way in hell I'd let a whore like Susan Ash bring me down. The game was on. Edward came out of his office and walked down the stairs. "Oh Darling, I've missed you." Susan said embracing him as he walked over to us. "Missed you too baby." He spoke, kissing her briefly in front of me. I felt uncomfortable so I looked away almost immediately. Susan smiled when she noticed it. "Are you ready?" She asked him. He nodded and he turned to look at me. Longer this time, his blue eyes were taking in my appearance. It seemed like he wanted to say more but he didn't. "See you later." Edward said. He placed his hand in Susan's and he walked out of the Mansion. Feeling terrible I made my way to a sofa in the living room to cry my eyes out. I was feeling so much pain, shame and disappointed. What a day. 'Edward Silver' Whispering his name out loud brought a bittersweet feeling. This man had caused me so much pain in my past. And 5 years down the line he is doing the same thing all over again. Is there even a part of him that feels some pity for me? Can't he see that he's treating me very badly? My thoughts are interrupted by Liam, who comes running in from the playground. I clean my tears immediately, so he won't spot them and ask questions. "Did you have fun at the play ground?" I asked smiling at him. He seems so excited to be here. "Yes mommy, I love it here!" He replied, jumping on me to give me a long hug. This child is the only thing that makes my life worth living. He gives me hope. Alice walks into the living room and tells me dinner is ready. Liam and I head for the dining to eat. Alice promises to show us our rooms afterwards. At least she was kind and polite in welcoming us. *** Edward POV Business calls, meetings, emails, functions. Everything can be so overwhelming at times. To be a Billionaire in such a high position like mine is very time consuming. Most times I look for other things and activities to distract myself from the workload and pressure. But I want to share all I have and who I am with someone I love. The only person who ever came close to filling that space in my heart is my Nessa. I was so excited when I saw her at the strip club. But she tore me to pieces when I discovered we had a child and she kept it a secret from me. I know I'm not perfect but she had no fucking right to do that! Right now I am upset with her. But even in my anger I want to spend my time with her. She looked so good back at the house, I wanted nothing more but to throw my arms around her and give her a long kiss. A part of me wants to punish her for denying me access to my son, but another part of me wants to shower her with all the Love I can ever offer. I know she feels so bad with how cold I'm treating her, but I feel even worse about this whole situation. Did my mom really turn her away 5 years ago? What did she want to tell me? I — "Edward baby? Did you hear me?" My thoughts are suddenly interrupted by this blonde girl opposite me. We are both sitted in an exotic restaurant. An outing she planned of course. "What did you say?" I said to her. Feeling annoyed by her presence. I wasn't paying attention to her. Hell I didn't even remember her name. All we did was fuck. I had to look at my phone. She has to at least be in the call log. Oh it's Susan, right. "I need 10 thousand dollars to do some shopping for new clothes baby. I want to update my wardrobe." She cooed, stretching her arm across the table and placing it on mine. All she ever did was ask and ask for money. The only reason I kissed her in front of Vanessa was because I wanted to spite her. But right now, this girl is pushing her limits and trying to make this relationship more than what it is. After some thought, I responded to her. "Alright. I'll Inform Marco tomorrow. You should get the money during the week." Marco is my personal assistant. He is a trusted person and he works with my accountant. "Thank you baby." She smiled, taking a sip of her cocktail. The waiters brought our meal and we ate. I made Susan sign a contract to keep her mouth shut. I was very strict with the kind of women I involved myself with. And the contract is to prevent her from tarnishing my image to the hungry media. It lasts for a duration of 3 months but even afterwards, she won't have the right to say anything to the media. I guess I have 2 more months to spend with her then I can have some breathing space. Eating my food in silence, I thought of Liam and Nessa. I hope they like their new home. What are they up to?

Vanessa POV I stood in the bathroom, brushing my teeth as my mind replayed the little scene that transpired between Edward and I last night. What came over him? And why was I so responsive to his advances? Edward has shown me these past few weeks that he doesn't give a shit about me. Now he suddenly wants to care and gain access to my body? Unbelievable. I couldn't drop Liam off at school today cause of this conference meeting. Edward's driver Donovan did it instead. Edward had left the house earlier at 7 to his penthouse. He told the maids to inform me he had an important zoom call. Why didn't he do the call here instead? After taking a bath, I changed into a black corporate long-sleeve dress. It has flare hands and a high slit at my left upper thigh. After styling my long red hair into a high pony tail, I wrapped it into a donut. Afterwards I decided to touch up my face with some make up. Staring at the finish product in the mirror in front of me, I was certain my looks w

Vanessa POV We sat silently in the Mercedes Benz and drove to the Venue. Not even one word. Just Donovan, playing his music. Edward is playing games with me and I'm not sure I can keep up. I felt like breaking into tears again but I won't give him the satisfaction. I can't keep falling victim of his tricks because my heart still yearns for him. It's time to find a replacement. All the guys I dated after him messed up so I lost hope in finding someone. This time I had to make sure it found a way to work out. I could see tons of people crowding the front building of Edward's Company. The name written boldly at the top of the high rise building. 'Silver Tech and co.' One of the leading and most successful tech and business oriented companies in the world. They are into Technology, Business, Finance, stocks and inventions of some popular electrical appliances here in New York. As we got closer to the entrance, I could see paparazzi ready for action with their cameras and some

Susan POV My eye balls were red and dripping hot tears from the way Edward had just treated me. I got home, throwing myself on my couch as I thought of the best possible way to get rid of Vanessa. Everything started to go wrong for me the moment that bitch showed up again in Edward's life. Before then I had it all, the money, the attention, the sex. I was number one in Edward's eyes. Even if our relationship started off on a contract for sex and money, it couldn't change the fact that he was starting to grow fond of me. Now it all felt non existent. Why is she suddenly back with him anyway? What's the connection between them? I have to do some digging. But before then, I need to make sure she pays for the embarrassment Edward put me through last night and this morning. If I did it myself, it would be too obvious. Drying my tears I reached for my phone. There is this powerful Hitman I know from Chicago. He has men who work for him all over America. "Hi Rodrigo, it's your

Vanessa POV I got home that day, waiting anxiously for Edward. You know what he did? Never showed up. It feels like he's running away from me and avoiding confrontation. It's almost 3 days now and he hasn't showed up in the house. I only tried calling him once but I didn't bother my self too much because he's unavailable. Today is Wednesday and I have a date with Daniel. I dropped Liam at school 4 hours ago so I still have some time to myself. After sketching some fashion illustrations, I realized I didn't have anything to wear for the date.I feel very enthusiastic about the outcome. Daniel has made me grow fond of him already and it's barely even two days. We've been texting almost every minute and we had a brief late night call last night. It became so intense and flirtatious.For a guy I barely know I'd say it was quite forward of me. But he has a charm I can't seem to resist and I love it. I want to look very stunning for this date so I thought of going for brief shopping for a

Vanessa POVThe store guards helped me load the stuff I got into the SUV, since Donovan brought the car upfront. I got into the car and we drove off. "You don't need to apologize, Daniel. Hey let's talk about this tonight." "Fine with me. Can I see that pretty face of yours before I leave you to prepare?" And the awkward moment was gone. He had his way of changing the atmosphere and making it a better one. "Okay hold on." I replied smiling like a 5 year old. Then I muted the call. Before switching to a video call I decided to speak. "We're going to pick Liam from school." I said to Donovan, looking up from my phone to the drivers seat. Suddenly a wave of shock hit me. Donovan wasn't the one driving. Who the hell was this? "Sure." He responded. Maneuvering the car into a corner as my body moved sideways from the aggressive driving. "Where is Donovan?" I asked the strange guy. He was bald, wore an all black outfit and had a snake tattoo at the nape of his neck. "Him and I tak

Edward POV I was lost in complete shock. My Nessa got into an accident? How on earth did that happen. Was she with Liam? Are they both safe? I need urgent answers. Feeling restless while seated in the car, I browse through my phone. Fuck. She had sent me some texts already. Why didn't my PA tell me. I place a call to Liam's school. He's still there. I need to get him first before going to see Nessa. I feel so upset about this. Was it a set up? I'd loose myself if anything happens to her. "Drive faster Xavier. This is urgent." I yelled at my driver with hopes to hasten him up. I also texted my private investigator. There's a lot of work to be done. *** Vanessa POV The sounds of police and ambulance sirens echoed in my head as my eyes slowly drifted open. An immediate sharp pain around my head followed, with a feeling of a bandage, wrapped around it. Where was I? My eyeballs moved a little, scanning the location.

Vanessa POV The faint aroma of the pink flowers Edward had set in a vase on the kitchen counter blended with the smell of roast chicken as it spread into the living room. Sunlight poured through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows as I lay in a warm blanket on the plush couch with my head resting on a pillow. The accident still hurt my body, but the bruises were getting better, and the bandages on my head were about to come off. Every employee at the mansion, including the gardeners and maids, was momentarily removed to be questioned about the accident. For all we know it could have been anyone. "Look, mommy! Check out what I got from Edward!” I was interrupted by Liam's eager voice. His smile might have illuminated the entire mansion as he rushed into the room with a bright red toy race vehicle. Wincing a little at the tug in my lower back, I managed a small grin and sat up straighter. Even though my chest was constricted, I murmured, "That's a really cool car, sweethea

The roses should have arrived by now. I sat behind my desk, drumming my fingers against the polished surface, my phone screen still open to the delivery confirmation. A hundred pink roses, Vanessa’s favorite. A simple gesture—an apology without words. I wasn’t naive enough to think a bouquet could erase last night. The way she walked away, how she didn’t even spare me a second glance. I had been too stunned to react. Too blindsided by Wendy’s theatrics. I shook my head in annoyance, I should have know this was coming.The landline in my office rang, drifting me out of my thoughts.“Mr West, Miss Hawthrone is in the lobby and would like to see you.” My secretary announced.Of course she was. Before I could even command for her to be let in, she stormed in like a hurricane, the floors became noisy as her shoes clicked on them.“You sent her pink roses?” She yelled, throwing her purse on my office desk. “How romantic”I didn’t even look up, her energy and mine were different.“Why ar
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 42: The Morning After
Vanessa POVThe golden brightness of the rising morning sun outside cast a faint light around the hotel suite As I stirred, the silk sheets wrapped over my legs, causing me to blink out of slumber. The warmth alongside me should have been soothing, but Edward's raspy breathing and rigid physique in his slumber revealed a different story. He was having a dream, no, a nightmare. I sat up, pushing my hand on his moist, exposed chest, and felt his racing beating beneath my palm. Edward’s brow furrowed, and droplets of sweat stuck to his skin as he murmured something i couldn’t understand. Then his entire body shook, his hands gripping into the covers.I leaned closer. I said in a whisper, running my fingertips over his jaw, "Edward." Wake up.” Sharp, rapid breaths rose and fell in his chest as his eyes burst wide, wild and disoriented. He just gazed at me for a time, his body still rigid from whatever torture his fantasies had been. His features softened, and recognition flared in his

Edward POVHer skin was flushed with heat as she lay beneath me, breathless, her thighs still trembling from the force of her release, her skin flushed with heat.Her body quivered from the aftermath of my touch. I smirked, watching her. She was Mine. I felt so intoxicated by the way she moaned, the way she gasped, the way she fell apart in my hands.Oh God, I missed this.I Missed her. Missed every inch of her body, the way she said my name when she was lost in pleasure, the way she responded to my touch..It had been so long, too long. All those Years of pretending I didn’t need her, of forcing myself to move on. They were of no use because no matter how many women I touched, how many lips I kissed, no one ever felt like this. Like home.I traced the outline of her hips as my fingers moved down the curve of her waist, and memorizing her all over again. Vanessa looked softer now, more womanly, but she was still the same Vanessa that once consumed every inch of my life.Still kneeling

It intoxicated my mind, my senses. His fingers moved on my bare arm, igniting the excitement from earlier.He leaned into me, pressing his lips to my ears,“I’m going to make you beg for me, Nessa.” he whispered. His voice sending delicious shivers through me.I swallowed hard, my breath became uneven. I could still feel the rush from the Lamborghini ride, the reckless abandon, the speed— it all set my pulse high and racing. I was now standing near him, my stomach coiled in excitement like a tightly strung spring. I hardly heard the lift doors open before Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the room.The suite was wonderful. A king- sized bed draped in soft looking silk sheets, amazing large floor to ceiling windows that showed the bright city skyline. Outside on the balcony, I co

Her reflection in the window showed a storm brewing—jaw tightened, lips squeezed tight, eyes flaming with wrath.I remained focused on the road, grasping the wheel, my own displeasure boiling beneath my skin. When Edward instructed us to go, I felt a weight of humiliation land on my shoulders. Not because of Vanessa. Not even due to Edward. But due to Wendy and the whole calamity she had caused. I knew I shouldn't have brought her. It was a bad idea. The moment I parked, she pushed open the door and stormed inside, her shoes tapping fiercely on the ground of my penthouse.Wendy spun around to face me The second the door slammed shut.“Daniel What the hell was that ?!”I sighed, rubbing a hand down my face. “Wendy, drop it.

The smell of Baylee’s and expensive perfumes, heavy in the air. Edward’s hand rested seductively on the small of my back. Then the waiters showed us a private booth near the bar.The booth was welcoming, the ambiance warm, the chairs felt very comfy and were made of leather.

Vanessa POVGolden fairy lights brightened the lawn in the mansion. I adored how It gave a lovely glow over the neatly cut grass. The fragrance of barbecue grilling filled up the air, mixing with the fresh perfume of roses from the neighbouring flower beds. A beautiful tune played in the background, and the entertainment Edward had planned made their appearance. My eyes widened with surprise when a group of salsa dancers, dressed in stunning red and gold, came into the yard, and took up different positions. The Latin music sounded stylish as it played the dancers moved in perfect sync, their bodies flowing and bursting with energy. I couldn't resist smiling at the sight. Edward had gone out of his way to ensure the night didn’t feel too tense after the awkward arrival of Daniel and Wendy.He leaned in slightly, his voice quiet in comparison to the background commotion.
