Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY: THE HONEYMOON.
THE HONEYMOON.Ares. I got to my room after Winnie and I had left the reception venue. Everything went according to plan. Come to think of it, that wife of mine came to my study to wish me a happy birthday earlier today. Who does that? What's happy about a birthday? By the way, she looked good in that wedding gown of hers. I couldn't seem to take my eyes off her for some reason. Fuckk Ares, what's wrong with you? Why are you thinking about this girl again? She's not supposed to be part of the things you should be thinking about. Get that straight.Winnie.We were back at the mansion and it felt good to be home. Mrs Catherine and I were in the living room, talking and laughing when…“Get ready, we're leaving for our honeymoon later this evening”. We heard Ares say as he entered the mansion.“Pack light”. He added as he headed to his room.“Come, I'll help you”. Mrs Catherine said when Ares had left.I followed her to my room as we began to pack.“What type of clothes do people pack fo

A TRIP TO PARIS.Winnie. I was really surprised at Ares's response to that flight attendant. It really made me happy. It's good he put her in her place. What was she thinking, trying to flirt with someone's husband, my husband? She got what she deserved.The rest of the flight went on smoothly until another flight attendant came.She went directly to Ares, ignoring me like I wasn't there.“How can I help you sir?” She asked, looking at Ares while licking her lips in a seductive manner.Ares took one look at her with disgust all over his face then he continued what he was doing on his laptop.The lady looked hurt but she didn't let that stop her. She was about to touch Ares again just like the previous attendant when Ares suddenly said…“Don't let those things you call hands come anywhere close to me. I never called for your attention so, I don't know what you're doing here. Well, since you're here, why not become useful by using those hands of yours to get my wife something to drink”

AN UNEXPECTED KISS.Winnie. “He's such an ass”. I said to myself as I climbed the bed.He continued working on his laptop without still sparing me a glance.“What type of person works on their honeymoon”. I asked myself silently, still surprised at what had happened.Few hours later, I woke up to pack my clothes. Since I didn't use most of the clothes Mrs Catherine had packed, it was easier to pack my clothes back into the box I came with.I suddenly woke up in the wee hours of the morning to ease myself.After I was done, Ares was fast asleep already and I decided to use this period to stare at him.I wasn't going to lie, he is a very handsome looking man. He looked so innocent and calm in his sleep. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought he's actually a really calm person, but I knew he was the direct opposite of that.I was really tempted to run my hand through his hair and ruffle it but I held myself. I wanted to caress his face with my hand but I really didn't want to wake hi

BACK TO NEW YORK.Winnie.I immediately started getting ready. I decided to go with the short blue colored gown with spaghetti straps. After I was done dressing up, I packed my hair into a ponytail and applied some lip gloss. I always like my lips glossy.When I was done with everything, I brought out my box and was waiting for Ares as he was busy with his phone.“Give me a sec, I'll soon round up”. He replied as he raised a finger up without taking his eyes off his phone.“All done. Shall we?” He replied, shortly after as he kept his phone in his pocket and led me out of the suite. I was really going to miss this view.We left the hotel and got into our waiting car. The car came to a stop in front of another one of Ares's private jets.We got down from the car and boarded the plane.I was expecting it to be the same one that flew us to Paris but it wasn't.The interior of this one was pure white with some touch of gold here and there. We buckled our seatbelts and became airborne soo

ARES'S PAST.Winnie.After we were done bringing out the groceries, she began cooking. I offered to help her but she totally declined. So I watched her instead.She was making her signature pancakes because I told her I had missed them.After she was done, she served it with some syrup and a glass of fruit juice to go with it.We ate together then I did the dishes.After we had done all that, we headed to my room where I told her how my so-called honeymoon all went. From the flirty female flight attendants on the plane down to his suit jacket incident and my little “lesson” I decided to teach him on our way back.I left out the kissing part though because I didn't think it was necessary.“You really should have come with me, I was really bored during my short stay in Paris”. I complained to her, pouting like a baby.“Why is Ares like this by the way?” I asked her, concerned.“Like how, my child?” She asked me too.“Arrogant, always treating others like they are below him, like they do

THE RIGHT PERSON FOR HIM.Winnie.“We both know how that turned out don't we?” She asked, with her eyes still on me.“The board of directors were really shocked when Ares found you and invited them to the wedding ceremony between you guys and that too before the deadline that was given to him.They were expecting him to fail because they thought that was Ares's weak point. But as usual, he showed them that he's Ares Masters for a reason”. Mrs Catherine continued.“My dear, you will come across difficulties in your marriage, you'll encounter different things, people will try to separate you and Ares but don't let that happen. Ares is a nice man at heart, believe me when I tell you, he just needs someone that'll always be there for him.I know he's arrogant, rude and really cold most times but beneath all that is a really nice man”. She continued with a smile on her face again.“I don't know the circumstances surrounding you guys’ marriage but I believe you two are married for a reason.

THE CHARITY EVENT.Ares.I really could not understand what was going on. Am I beginning to become soft? Will I be like my late father? NEVER!! That can never happen. I will never be like him. That phase of my life is over. I concluded, with my eyebrows scrunched up, deep in thought as I continued to think about what just happened.I decided to brush that thought aside as I had more important things to focus on.I had a board meeting to attend so I began to get ready for it.I freshened up and settled on a two piece suit with a black cover shoe. When I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror.“Damnnn, I'm fucking handsome”. I said to myself with a wide grin on my face.I left the mansion and headed to the office.“Good morning sir”. I heard some of my staff greet me. I didn't bother responding as usual.Immediately I got to my office, my secretary came to tell me my schedule for the day.“Good morning sir”. She greeted, as she entered after knocking.“You have a board meeting by

THE CHARITY EVENT 2.Winnie. I was in my room with Mrs Catherine. Have I said how much I love this woman? “What do you think about this?” I asked her, picking out a black velvet dress from my wardrobe. “It's nice but it could be better, I don't think Ares would think it was up to his standard. Charity events like this are a tool rich people use either to commercialize or brag about themselves. So you need to dress the part. We need something subtle but eye-catching and this my dear, she said pointing to the dress in my hand, is not” she completed.“Ok, I never knew you were such an expert in fashion Mrs Catherine”. What should I do? I thought to myself, I couldn't go to Ares not after how I exploded at him. He'd definitely give me one of those his looks. Just then we heard a knock at the door. “Hold on” Mrs Catherine said heading to see who it was. It was Ares, he took gentle strides into the room and dumped a dress on the bed. “Wear this”, he said and walked out without utteri

Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX: THE PROPOSAL.
THE PROPOSAL.Winnie.I couldn't believe what just happened. I began replaying everything over and over in my head again. It all began when I woke up and was preparing coffee. Ares went to the living room without greeting me and started watching the News. He suddenly called for me and I went to the living room to meet him.“Where did you go yesterday?” He asked me and I was just staring at him, trying to process what happened yesterday.“I asked you a fucking question!!” He yelled at me and I blinked with a surprised look on my face. Ok, I had definitely remembered now. Why is he asking me this suddenly and why didn't he go to work today?“I didn't go anywhere.” I replied as I sat down on the couch.“Alright then, let me be more specific. What did you go to do at the hospital yesterday?” He asked me. I was shocked as to how he found out about my visit to the hospital.“I went for a check up.” I replied, not meeting his gaze. I knew that I had promised not to lie to him but this situat
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE: THE DIVORCE.
THE DIVORCE.Ares.I was in my office when I got a call from Adam, Winnifred's driver. I hope nothing happened to Winnifred. I picked up the call immediately.“Yes Adam, what is it?” I asked impatiently and he hesitated for a moment before replying.“Good afternoon sir. I wanted to inform you that your wife went to the hospital today”. He said and I immediately stood up from my seat.“Hospital? What happened to her? What was she doing there?!!” I thundered over the phone as I started getting ready to leave the office.“No no sir, nothing happened to her. She's fine. She said she wanted to go for a check up”. He said as I sighed in relief.“Why did you call me then?” I asked, calmer this time around.“I think she lied sir.” He said and that got me curious. “And what makes you think so?” I asked him again, curious to hear his response.“I just had the feeling that she was lying and when she came back from the hospital, she seemed lost. I kept on asking her what happened but she was jus
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR: PREGNANCY?
PREGNANCY?Winnie.I didn't know when I slept off but I found myself on the floor of my room when I woke up and I was feeling really tired. It took me minutes to stand up from the floor and when I finally got up, the whole room began to spin and I had to hold on to the wall close to me to prevent me from falling down.I wondered why I had started feeling dizzy all of a sudden but I couldn't seem to come up with an answer. My stomach started grumbling and I wanted to ignore it but it only got worse so I decided to pay attention to it.Since I was obviously really hungry, I went downstairs to find something to eat after the room had stopped spinning. When I got to the kitchen, I found a note on the counter addressed to me from Ares. It read…“I've gone to work, don't think I have run away again or that something happened to me. I'm perfectly fine and will be back in the evening.”I smiled after reading the note and for a second, I thought that things were back to normal but I woke up fr
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE: BACK HOME.
BACK HOME.Ares.Winnifred had been calling me for sometime now but I didn't pick up. I'll just look at it ringing until it cuts. I knew she would be worried because I didn't tell her anything but I couldn't care less.By the way, why should she be worried? She can as well go and meet the guy that was flirting with her at her bakery earlier today and not bother about me. I'm sure that wouldn't be hard to do.She stopped calling for sometime then after a few minutes, Judy called and I picked up immediately.“Good morning sir, your wife said that you're not at home and she's been calling you but you're not picking her calls. She's been waiting for you to come back home.” Judy said over the phone and I paused a little before replying to him.“You can tell her not to bother waiting up for me as I won't be going back to that villa for sometime. I'm in one of my other houses and I don't want to see her either. I need space away from her. If that's all, I'll hang up now.” I said and immediat
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO: WISHFUL THINKING.
WISHFUL THINKING.Judy.I was surprised seeing Winnifred's name as the caller ID when my phone began ringing by 1:00am. What could be the problem? I picked after the second ring and I was shocked by what she said.“Hello, I'm sorry for disturbing you but do you know if Ares is still at the office? He's not yet back and I've been calling him but he isn't picking my calls”. She said, clearly worried.“Ares didn't come to work today. Didn't he tell you? I'll try calling him and see if he picks up”. I told her as I yawned.“He didn't tell me. Well, I left for work before him so there was no way he would have told me. Alright please do and call me back if he picks your call”. She said and ended the call.Why didn't Ares tell his wife that he didn't go to work and most of all where could he be by this time? I decided to call him and I was surprised when he picked up immediately.“Good morning sir, your wife said that you're not at home and she's been calling you but you're not picking her c
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE: THE BREAKDOWN.
THE BREAKDOWN.Winnie.I stayed awake all through the night waiting for Ares to return but he never did. I lay on his bed as I watched the sunrise and my heart was heavy. I decided to dial Judy's number again and luckily, it went through.“You never called to give me feedback.” I told him immediately he picked up the call.“I'm sorry about that, I just didn't know how to tell you.” He responded, his voice a little bit shaky.“How to tell me what?” I asked, more curious now.“When I called Ares, he said that he isn't coming back home so you shouldn't bother waiting up for him and that he needs space away from you.” Judy replied and my face fell immediately.“He isn't coming back? Did he say where he was and how long he'll stay there?” I asked again, my voice beginning to break up as I fought hard to control my tears.“He's in another of his apartments but he didn't say how long he'll stay there.” Judy responded.“Do you know that I stayed awake the whole night waiting to see if Ares wo
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY: THE BIG DECISION.
THE BIG DECISION.Ares.As I was driving, it all became clearer to me. All these changes I had been noticing concerning me. The way I was now calm towards her. I never wanted to see her sad. I never wanted anything that would hurt her. I always wanted to see her smile and happy.How did I let all these happen? Where is the cold hearted Ares that doesn't give a fuck about anybody's feelings? “Aaaarrrrrggggggggg”. I shouted after parking my car by the corner of the road. I wanted to throw and scatter something so badly but I couldn't do that. Instead, I slammed my hands on the steering wheel so hard that it hurt.When I had calmed down a little and was able to drive properly, I resumed driving. I definitely couldn't go to my company in this mood so I decided to go home.Home? I can't do that. I took another turn that led me away from my mansion. I had made a decision. I won't live under the same roof as Winnifred again. That way, I can avoid her with ease.This was what I'd have to do
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN: CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.Winnie.I sat down in my office as thoughts of last night flashed through my mind. I couldn't help the blush that crept up my face when I recalled all that had happened.From the surprise to the dinner to the sex in the pool to the continuous sex in his room, all were very memorable and I enjoyed every one of them. Last night was a really fun night.“Someone's here to see you ma”. I heard Anna say, bringing me back from my thoughts.“Who is the person? Did the person leave a name?” I asked, curious because I wasn't expecting anyone.“No ma, he just said he wanted to see the owner of the bakery”. She replied.“Alright, I'll be out shortly”. I told her and she left. Who could be looking for me? I guess I better go and find out then. I left my office and went to see who it was.When I came out of my office, I saw a handsome young man with very black hair and green eyes that reminded me of Ares. He looked like he was in his early thirties. Well he is good looking I'll g
Taming the Billionaire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN: SUCH A CUTE THING.
SUCH A CUTE THING.Judy.I was still finding it hard to believe that Ares actually thought of something like this and helped in executing it. If not for the fact that I was there when it all happened, I wouldn't believe that the Ares I know would do something as romantic as this.I was really happy when he suggested the idea and I observed how joyful he was when he was picking out Winnifred's outfit. I don't think I had seen him that happy in a long while and to think that Winnifred was the source of his happiness warmed my heart.I hoped things continued this way without changing. I was also glad that Winnifred loved the surprise because her expression when the light lit up was priceless. My hard work paid off.They didn't even wait for dinner to be over or at least for me to go before they started their make out session. They started doing it right there in my presence.“Isn't it too early for that?”. I had told them when I couldn't take it anymore and they composed themselves. I ch
