XanderIt has amused me the way she is getting annoyed with my words and the way I am looking at her. Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to annoy or irritate her. It’s just that I can’t help myself. Even I am surprised by how I am feeling for Kenna right now and I can’t put my finger on what exactly it is.For sure, I fancy the way she looks, the curves of her body and wonder why on earth I paid no attention to her when I was married to her.Also, I am enjoying this new found feistiness of hers, it’s a huge turn on. My little mouse, Kenna has turned into a woman who knows her own mind. Not to mention clearly her intelligence, another thing she kept hidden from me.Or was it just that I was so focused on keeping my word to my best friend when he died, that I would take care of Violet? Maybe I have focused way too much on Violet to have noticed Kenna. But it’s time I tried to win her back. I do not like to lose at anything and having a divorce on my copy book now, doesn’t sit right wit

KennaI couldn’t exactly make a scene in front of everyone even though I wanted to throw a tantrum and tell Xander where he could stick his lunch invitation. The audacity of the man, how dare he demand that I have dinner with him? Who on earth does he think he is? And why all of a sudden the interest in me? He is an arrogant man who thinks he can have everything he wants. It is up to me to show him or at least tell him at lunch that I will not be spoken to like that nor will I bow down and let him have me again.As far as I am concerned, Xander had his chance. Although, I am now questioning why I get a slight thrill curse through my body as the thought of being close to him at lunch.No mind, I have to freshen up. It’s been a long morning and I feel like I need to reapply some mascara and lipstick. He stands in the main reception area with its vaulted ceilings and rustic hanging lamps made of iron with just orange bulbs hanging down casting a glorious shade across the stripped wood fl

XanderWatching her chest rise and fall is doing strange things to my body and making my crotch area of my trousers tight. Her lips are slightly parted and her cheeks are flushed. “Are you warm, Kenna. Do you want us to move outside where there is more breeze now the winds are picking up slightly?” “What? No, I’m perfectly fine.” I chuckle knowing that for some reason I am having an impact on her and well I like it. The way her eyes are darkening making her iris’s look bigger and blacker is a dead giveaway that she is liking being here with me. Why did I waste all that time when I was with her? “So, tell me what are your plans within Bodega. You want to be on the executive board I take it?” “Of course, it’s going to take a couple of years I should imagine to claw my way to the top. Isaac did say he wanted me on the board but I declined.” She takes a sip of the chilled Sauvignon crisp white wine.“Why did you decline, you would have had all the extra money, the perks, everything.

Kenna I watch as he frowns, something has annoyed him, his jaw is ticking. That wonderfully strong jaw of his, and I see his eyes are darkening. Xander swiftly types something back, I wonder who he is messaging with. “So,” he says, looking directly at me with his blazing, blue eyes. “Do you have anything to tell me, Kenna?” “Like what?” I tap my fingers on the table. “I have a message from Violet on my phone. She says she has something she knows about you.” I gulp and reach for my wine glass. I don’t even dare to glance at him. Instead I move my eyes to the table instead. I somehow don’t think a glass of wine will be enough, maybe I need the bottle. Or perhaps Violet is bluffing. Does she know I am with him? Does she know he is in Napa? How would she know my whereabouts unless of course someone within the Bodega business who works with me is a mole and telling her my every movement. Mm, I hadn’t thought of that but now my mind is racing with all sorts of theories. “No. Like wh

KennaI lean forward and place my hands in my head, I knew something like this would happen. Violet just simply cannot help herself. She is a bitch with a capital B. Loathing and detest for her seeps through my entire body, the anger mounts up. “Can I get you anything?” Herbert has knocked on the glass office door. “No, thanks, Herbert, I am fine. Did the walk through with Mr Staniopolis go well?”“Yes, Ma’am. I think he is mighty impressed with our outfit here. It’ll be a good business partnership.” He has a smile on his face, I notice how the skin around his eyes crinkle. “Indeed,” I lie because the last thing I want is to have to be at Xander’s beck and call on a business level. I want to just move on from him yet every time I am with him, no matter how much my mind tells me he is trouble for me, my body seems to have a different opinion. It’s frustrating and conflicting. For Isaac’s business, however, it is a good thing. Xander promoting our winery in his hotels will increase ou

Dante“Has anyone seen Kenna. She should have been back from Napa yesterday evening but her driver advised she didn’t need a pick up from the airport?” I am bewildered, it is not like Kenna to go missing nor to not contact me and I haven’t heard from her in forty-eight hours.My father looks up from the newspaper he is reading at the dining table, it’s breakfast time and father is still old fashioned and enjoys a real newspaper. “No, I don’t think you need to worry too much, Dante. She will be safe.” Why do I then have an unsettling feeling in my gut? Her mother looks up from her plate. “Come to think of it, Dante, she hasn’t contacted me in the last two days either. Isaac,” she turns to my father, “isn’t she supposed to be heading into the office today for your Excom meeting?”He closes the newspaper and folds it then places it beside his plate. “She is supposed to be taking part. Yes, I need her to familiarize herself with how our Excom team works and to meet the team. It’s been a

XanderI sit opposite Kenna, my legs crossed watching her come apart, I’ve never seen this side of her and I am completely lost for words or what to do in a situation like this. I am still wondering if there is an angle, since I am so distrustful of women these days. Not knowing what the hell is going on between Kenna and Violet.Kenna called me to say she needed to see me, that it was important and involved Violet blackmailing her. From the sound of Kenna on the phone, she had been drinking. Her words were slightly slurred and some of it did not make sense at all.Needless to say, I have had to delay flying out to Asia. Thankfully I have leeway as my first meetings with the contractors do not actually begin until three days' time. I want to be able to familiarize myself first with the layout of the land, the offices I will be working from when I am in Asia and also to get to know the feel for the place. It’s a whole new market arena for me and one that I want to succeed in. There is a

KennaShocking how exhausted I feel and my hangover is not relenting, whatever possessed me to drink so much. At least nobody recognized me from any of the pictures that are currently being posted on a regular basis. Isaac and his family are always in the limelight and sometimes I wish I could have total anonymity. My driver pulls the car up in front of the house, I retrieve my bag from the seat next to me and wait for him to come round and open the door before retrieving my suitcase from the back.And another thing, what on earth did I think I was doing by calling Xander and practically telling him about Violet blackmailing me? Shock of all shocks, I am relieved to say the least that I didn’t spill the beans. And Xander. Why Xander? It’s not even like I have any feelings towards him anymore other than his mere presence irritates the holy crap out of me.“Kenna, Kenna, you are back. Oh, my gosh we were so worried about you.” My mother comes running down the stairs as I enter the house.

KennaTalk about having to do a man’s job and if you want anything done, then do it yourself. Honestly, I thought Xander had more balls than that. Although I do surprise myself with how brave and bold I am right now. There is too much to lose with a man like Antonio out there trying to harm me to get back at Xander. I have no hesitation in having someone shit the life out of him or even wipe him off this planet. But how I am now involved yet again in Xander’s business is unbelievable.I call Dante and wait for him to pick up. My whole day has been literally turned upside down. The meetings I was supposed to have are now cancelled and shifted out. The flight I wanted to take to go and visit Riley was also moved out. Fucking pisses me right off. His phone picks up.“Kenna, everything okay?”“No, Dante, not really. Xander has told me everything and it isn’t good. This Antonio guy thinks he has some kind of debt owing to him because of Violet and her drug running days. Who knew, eh, that

Xander“With me?” I am in my penthouse finally having a break from the tour. Everything is how I left it and my day lady has taken care of everything. I remind myself that I need to give her an increase. There are even fresh flowers in the vase on the high sheen, walnut table in the entrance hall. God, I have missed my views across Manhattan. The skyline is impressive although part of me longs to be at my country home where I can see the mountains for miles.“Yes with you, Xander. Do you know a man called Antonio Guilopo?”Fuck, it hits me like a gut punch and winds me. I need to sit down and I need a hefty scotch but it is still only two in the afternoon. “Well?” Her voice is impatient.“Yes, from a long time ago, Kenna. Why do you ask? He isn’t someone that should even cross your radar let alone the name come from your lips.”“Here’s the thing, Xander. I was followed this morning to work from Dante’s house and crashed into by a black 4x4, from behind. They tried to take me off the

KennaThe meeting is dragging, it is all about our new development in Asia. I didn’t even know Isaac was expanding into Asia. Holy smokes, why didn’t anyone inform me? This is utterly ridiculous. I have only been out of HQ for a couple of weeks on the tour and nobody thought to inform me via messaging or email. Why wasn’t I included? Maybe it was because Isaac had decided to drop a bombshell.In any case the unit looks impressive over twenty floors high, all smoked glass on the outside from the generated images. “And the projections?” I ask our head accountant, he looks like he has aged since I was last in HQ. I am not surprised with this new development and where is our CFO? He runs through the figures and I have to admit they are impressive, we will be hiring only local people nobody will be hired from outside the area. “And we are sure there is expertise locally?”“Yes, we have done a lot of research, Miss Bodega. You know we wouldn’t even be considering this as an option if it

DanteDammit who the hell is trying to rail Kenna? I message my assistant, Lorna quickly and let her know I am going to be late as I have some personal issues to attend to. She lets me know not to worry about anything and can push a few of my meetings to my free time later this afternoon. Not ideal since I wanted to be away from the office early to have a romantic dinner with Kenna and a night of hot, steamy passion. I guess that isn’t going to happen now since there is yet another turn of events. The poor woman has already gone through so much and now this.I want to cradle her in my arms and protect her and take all her worries away. Only I can’t and as a man like myself that makes me feel like shit. What, I can't even protect my own woman now? But I will find out who is in the vehicle. Anyone touches my woman they die!Next I make a call to the P.I. on the case for Kenna. He’s an ex NavySeal and now takes on all manner of cases, his name is Chase and he lives in Boston. “Chase, an

KennaI fire off a message to Dante hoping he will pick it up. I know he himself would be getting ready to head into his offices. I have a tail, a large black 4x4. Do you know anything about this?I wait tapping my pale pink nails on the mobile with anxiousness. Who the fuck is following me? Why is someone even following me?“You need to take me to the Bodega Head Office, I have no other choice. I can’t be driving around Manhattan trying to shake a tail,” I tell the driver.“Very well, Ma’am.” God I hate it when people call me ma’am. I’m still only in my twenties, it makes me feel so damn old. Ugh! I turn around in my seat wondering what is taking Dante so long. I can see a woman driving with ice blonde hair, I squint trying to see who it is sitting next to her but they are wearing a baseball cap. I notice a dark beard and that is about it. But the man sitting next to the woman is big built. What the hell!Hey, sorry I was getting ready and didn’t hear the phone. Okay, let me get ex

KennaWe lay spent on the bed, my insides ache but it is that good kind of ache that tells you, you’ve had amazing sex. My head rests on Dante’s shoulder where it fits perfectly.“Marriage, eh?” he says and kisses the top of my head. I can smell our sex and his masculine fragrance, it’s all woodsy and pine. Almost like you’d imagine a lumberjack. It fills my senses.“Okay, I may have been getting ahead of myself there a bit.” Now I feel slightly embarrassed. What was I thinking mentioning the big M word? “I would love to marry you, Kenna. I just want to have the opportunity to ask you properly. In a romantic setting that will take your breath away.” I love his words, they fill my heart which is already brimming with love and emotion for this strong and protective man who makes me feel like I am the only woman in the universe.“I guess I should get ready, I have some meetings to attend to today,” I say as I push myself into a seated position and rest my head on the engraved, wooden h

Dante“You told him! And how did he take it?” I was surprised to see Kenna at my front door not more than twenty minutes ago. Looking as beautiful as ever this time dressed down in some skinny black jeans that look molded to her, showcasing her long and toned legs. Her baggy sweatshirt hangs off one shoulder and has Mickey Mouse on the front. She looks too damn adorable right now and I am ready to pull off her clothes, throw her on my bed and make wild passionate love to her. Seriously though, Kenna looks only in her teens, not the billionairess in her twenties. How does she do it? And how does she do to me what she does? “At first not well, but then he agreed it would be best to make a family statement. He wants the name to be clear and all the skeletons out of the closet, so to speak, for when Riley comes to live with me part-time.” She has a grin of jubilation on her face. I walk over to her in the kitchen where she leans with her back to the sink and take her face in my hands. My

KennaHis face takes on an almost purple shade. I swear I have never seen a human look like an aubergine but here it is sitting in front of me.My mother gasps and clutches a hand to her mouth.“What are you saying, Kenna? It sounds like you are disowning us? We are your family, we gave you everything that has put you where you are enjoying the best life possible.”“Yes, Mom, I know that. I am not stupid and I remain grateful for everything that Isaac has done for me and treated me like his own daughter. That I cannot fault. But this attitude of his threatening to disown me because I am dating Dante. Well, that is clearly ridiculous. I could understand it if Dante and I were blood related but we are not.”Isaac coughs and puts up a hand to silence us both.“Ladies, please. Kenna, it is for your own good. The press will have a field day and they will start to dig around and find out that I am not his father. It will have all sorts of negative impact on him. I am not a cruel man, Kenna.
The Betrayed Wife Is A Secret Billionaire Chapter 156
KennaMy eyes feel grainy and sore, they look red around the rims but I have my trusty concealer by YSLaurent to help disguise them and the fact that I have dark circles underneath them. I sigh as I get on yet another flight this time straight back to Manhattan. It is tiring, all I seem to have done for weeks is get on and off this damn jet. But I have business to attend to and there is no time like the present. I can work whilst I am onboard.The stewardess comes to me, I notice her coral shade of lipstick and her sunny demeanour as she smiles at me. Her hazel eyes look warm and comforting. “Can I get you anything, Miss Bodega?”“A new life would be good. I’ll just take a coffee please, hold on the cream and sugar. Black will be fine.”“Very well. We will be taking off shortly, I can bring it to you after.”“Thank you.” I know the drill who wouldn’t by now.Anxiety you would think should be present since I am about to go back home and confront Isaac. Yet it doesn’t. I am ready for th
