The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Hospital?
Jessica“Can I come in?” Damon sighs, shifting on his feet. I nod, looking at him, and then back down to the brown carpet flooring. I thought Mikey may drop by, but why is Damon here instead?I can’t believe he is here.“You didn’t need to do this, Damon,” I smile awkwardly, and he sets the bags on the kitchen counter.“I know, but when Mikey told me your brother was sick, I knew you would need some stuff. I am sure leaving the house when you have a sick kid is not easy. Plus, I know you didn’t get much sleep last night after work since you hung out with Mikey.”He says this with a bit of dismay, and I watch as he searches the bags, looking for an item. Is he jealous?“Yes, I had to cancel our date today. Jackson is really sick,” I sigh, tears welling in my eyes, but I push them away. I really miss my mom right now, but this isn’t the time to sulk. He nods as he grabs a humidifier from a bag and opens the packaging, reading the instructions. I watch in awe as he holds the canister an

DamonMy heart is racing when I hear the knock on the door. Jackson had a fever that was high enough to cause seizures, and I think they would have started soon if Jessica and I hadn’t gotten him into the cool water. As soon as he opened his eyes, I could tell something was wrong. It was almost like he was hallucinating.Jessica’s face is puffy from crying as she stands, but I shake my head, “Stay here. I’ll get it.” She nods, and I walk out of the bathroom. We could have taken Jackson to the ER, but she told me she didn’t have health insurance. I was already pretty sure they didn’t, so I called Tabby on instinct instead. Whenever someone is sick, I always call her.I open the door, and she grins at me, wearing only a trench coat with her lab coat over it. Her doctor’s bag is in hand, and honestly, I have never been so happy to see her in my life, “Hey, he’s in here,” I tell her, but my mouth gapes as she opens her trench coat, revealing she is wearing only lingerie underneath. My ey
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume What the ?
JessicaI say nothing as I watch Tabby look at the tubes of swabs she took from Jackson, looking for a positive marker. I don’t understand why I am so angry. Damon is my boss and someone I shouldn’t even think about, but I do think about him…way more than I should. I think I am mad that he lied.Damon Ricci does do girlfriends; he just doesn’t do me.“Yep. Influenza for the win,” Tabby announces, shaking the vial in her hand. Jackson smiles brightly and then sighs, laying back down as he coughs pathetically. I watch as Tabby smiles, rubbing his forehead, “Don’t worry, this should only last three days to five.” Jackson sighs, looking into Tabby’s eyes.“And you’ll check on me, right? Dr. Tabby?” He groans like he’s in pain. Damon chuckles but then quickly hides it by clearing his throat, “Sure. Dr. Tabby would love to come to check on you every day.”Tabby nods, smiling, “Yes, I can do that,” she then turns her attention to me. “Jessica, have you ever had the flu?” she asks, throwing
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Photo?
DamonMy heart is racing when I reach my car. Mikey knows that I am not the touchy-feely type. He just saw me hug a girl that he really likes. He called DIBS on her, and I can’t be with her. He will never forgive me if I keep doing things like this. I don’t understand why I can’t get Jessica out of my head, but it’s a BIG problem. I tried to convince myself I came here for him, but I know that is truthfully a lie. I just hope I can smooth this over with him.“Took you long enough,” Tabby sighs, leaning up against her red convertible sports car. “Tabby, it took as long as it took. Get over it,” I say through gritted teeth. I watch as she stands straighter. I know she has to be confused about these sudden mood swings lately, but as far as she knows, Jessica is one of my employees; she can never know who she really is. “Well, I told my father we could video chat in forty-five minutes. Are you ready?” she asks me as she plays with the strings on her trench coat, teasing me. My eyes wa
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Bath
JessicaI still can’t get over the fact that Mike ran out of here like the apartment was on fire. I know he recognized my parents were at the club in that photo, but why did he freak out like that? This town isn’t big; maybe he met them that night and didn’t know how I would react? I haven’t brought it up since, but I have started a text so many times to ask, only to delete it. That is no longer a worry on my mind, at least not the last few days because the flu took me over too.There’s a knock on the door, and I grumble as I stand wearily. Jackson has gotten over the flu, and luckily, Julie seems as healthy as a horse, so they are both at school. I feel like death, though, and I am only on day three of five of the flu. Damon has had Tabby check in on me every day, and I really do not want to see the perky bitch today, but I know she’s been ordered to check on me. Too bad she loves bringing up her relationship with Damon and just how happy they are.Gag. I unlock the door and open it
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Trouble
DamonThe video chat with Tabby’s father was fucking awful. The man is from Russia, and not only was his heavy accent hard to understand, but he threatened me at least five times that if I hurt his daughter, he would cut out my heart, roast it over a fire and eat it in front of my entire family. But Tabby just laughed the entire video call, ensuring I nodded at the correct times but met her father’s approval. He has decided to let Tabby stay for now, but he wants us to come for a visit to New Jersey in the near future.It has been over a week since I have seen Jessica, and even though I know I shouldn’t, I am driving to her apartment now. Mikey really freaked out about the photo, but I told him we needed to play it cool. He hasn’t spoken to her since, which also makes me a little paranoid.Not only am I going to check on her because she has gotten sick, but I am also going to see if I can feel out any weird- you-murdered-my-parents-vibes.I have been sending Tabby every day since sh
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Not good
JessicaI quickly get dressed and walk out of the bathroom, terrified I may have been caught in the bathroom with a man by my younger siblings. I know this sounds silly, but one is a teenager, and the other is a pre-teenager. We haven’t even had THE talk, and I am already so uncomfortable thinking about having that conversation with either of them. Not that I even have much experience to help guide them! “Jessica, where are you?” Julie calls, and I take a deep breath as I stretch my facial muscles, ensuring my expression has turned neutral before entering the living room. I walk back down the hallway as my heart is racing; did we get caught? I have no idea where Damon is. Did he leave? Was he able to sneak past my siblings? But as I turn the corner, my eyes widen as I see him sitting at the dining room table with Jackson.“Wow, did you finally take a shower?” Jackson teases me. “You smelt awful,” he grins as he looks at me and then Damon. His eyebrows are raised, and I look at Damo
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Smitten
Damon“Are we good?” The words fly out of my mouth before I can stop them, and I cringe internally; I just fucked up so badly. Jessica’s body stiffened as soon as the words left my mouth, but I didn’t know what else to say- I couldn’t let her know just how much I wanted her. I had to play it cool, but there was a moment when I almost threw it all away.But only a moment…. Or…. I’ll just keep telling myself that lie. “Yeah, we are good,” Jessica says, but her eyes are cold, and her tone is deadly. I know that we are definitely not good, and I should have never said it like that. She basically shoves me out of her house, closing the door, and I clench my fist at my ideocracy. Damnit, Damon! Worst of all, it is only Jessica that I truly care if my words hurt her. I walk on eggshells around her, but this time I screwed up, but maybe that’s for the better. Only five more seconds alone in that bathroom, and I would have done something I couldn’t take back. The words may have hurt her, bu

The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Epilogue
EricI can’t believe it’s been five years since I have seen her, but as she opens the exam room door, my entire world is made right once again. She looks the same but even more beautiful- if that’s even possible.She wraps her arms around me and hugs me tight as she sobs into my shoulder, “I thought you were out tomorrow,” she whispers, her tears wetting my shoulder, and I smile, holding her tighter.“He let me go a day early,” I respond, looking back into her eyes.These last five years have been hard, but I knew they would be worth it once this moment came. It felt like the years went by too slowly, but now that this day has arrived, I know it was all worth it.Turning on Marcus was difficult. His goons even came after me, but they failed to kill me. Agent Latter agreed he would leave my family alone if I did this, but really, I knew he had no evidence to prosecute them. We always ensured we were careful where Marcus liked to throw his power around like a drunk emperor.Saying goodb
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume The end
JessicaMy whole body shakes as I sit in an interrogation room; what the hell is happening? I was only able to hug Damo briefly before they put us in separate cars and took us here. Even after everything Marcus has told me, I still want to be with Damon.I want to hear his side; I want to know what truly happened.The door finally opens, and Agent Latter appears; he has a can of soda with him and a sandwich. I watch as he walks inside the room and places them down on the table in front of me, “Please, eat and have a drink. We have a lot to talk about.”I shake my head, my stomach still in knots, and he sighs before I speak, “You knew my parents?” I ask, and he nods, sitting up straighter.“Yes, I was in charge of them,” he states, now sitting back. “Your parents were in a lot of debt, and I had made a deal with them.”My eyebrows raise, “A deal?”“Yes, if they could gather info on Macrus Lovoto and testify against him in court, then your family would go into witness protection, and yo
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Who?
JessicaTonight has been like a weird dream, but the kind you don’t want to wake up from. I am finally with Damon, and it feels right. The way he was so gentle with me when we made love. The way he knew it was a big deal to me but also didn’t push it or made sure it was truly what I wanted was everything.He is mine.My heart flutters at every glance he gives me as we clean up the club, and I can’t wait to go to breakfast with him; I can’t wait to see what this will become.End game.He said the words, not me. He means those words, and I agree. I know it seems quick, and I know it seems crazy, but our future is bright- I just know it.I grab the last trash bag and tie it, sneaking glances at Damon while my heart flutters with anticipation…. I have fallen in love with him. Everything has led me here…to him. I wave at Damon as I open the back door and walk outside toward the large dumpster with a smile on my face. After this, it will be just the two of us, and we can talk and begin to t
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume End Game
DamonHer hands wrap around my neck, and my heart instantly races. Things have been so weird between us since the funeral, but I am not giving up on us- not yet.She pulls back from me, her eyes meeting mine, and I can’t help but see just how beautiful she truly is. My hand goes to her cheek, and I touch her soft skin as she stares at me, my head coming closer to hers as my lips push against hers. I can feel her stiffen momentarily, but she doesn’t pull away. She returns the kiss, and my whole being shudders with pure delight- this has been what I have always wanted, but why did I try to deny it for so long?She pulls back away from me, her eyes showing fear. My fingers trace her soft lips, the essence of what she tastes like still on my tongue. She tries to get up, but I pull her back to me, “Jessica,” I say as I look deeply into her eyes, “This,” I pause, “This what was always meant to be,” I say softly, though I am pleading as I speak the truth.This has been a nonstop dance for b
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume need
JessicaIt’s been two weeks since Mike’s funeral, and it still doesn’t feel real. I took an Uber here to work tonight, but Mindy has been picking me up. I cried the entire way here; I miss him so much. Nothing will ever be the same again. Damon offered me a ride, but he isn’t in the suitable head space right now, and I couldn’t allow it. He is hanging onto me as a link to Mike. He thinks I don’t see it, but I do.There was always that tension between us, but how can I just throw myself into him now? It wouldn’t be right or fair to Mike.“Jessica, table six needs more shots,” Mindy smiles, and I nod, walking to the bar.“No problem, we only have three tables tonight; I am on it,” I giggle, and she nods, walking to the other. The club has been pretty much dead since we re-opened; people are afraid to come here…. not that I blame them.What happened here still haunts my dreams, but the evidence no longer remains of what happened to Mike at this club, thankfully. Damon made sure to redo
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Scorn
TabbyEverything comes down to this moment, this exact one that I am, but it didn’t have to. If only Damon hadn’t tried to play me as a fool. If only he hadn’t treated me so poorly…maybe I wouldn’t be destroying his family…. or her.When I dropped off that envelope to Jessica, I did it because I hated the way they looked at one another. The way he looked at her was the way I wished he would always look at me, but he never noticed me. He never wanted me, not like that.He looks at Jessica like she’s made of some sort of fragile, expensive glass. He acts like he’s afraid to break her, but I see the desire in both their eyes and the way they long for one another.I thought that by asking him to be my fake boyfriend, he would finally see my value. See me more than just a plaything or something he fucked, but that couldn’t happen, not with her around.The pictures were supposed to tell her to back off. I was hoping she would hate that Damon’s dad slept with her mother. I was hoping that sh
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Time?
DamonThe service was nice, and even though that speech was hard to make, it was what Mikey deserved. Everything I said about him was true. Each story that every person shared was a beautiful reminder of who he truly was.Jackson’s story was the one that surprised me the most, though. I know it can’t be easy going to two funerals in such a short amount of time. Mikey had only been in Jessica’s sibling’s life for such a short time, but he made a mark and a positive impact on them- that’s just what he did.I sit on the couch at Clody’s house, and there is still crying but also laughter as everyone talks about him. More memories are shared, but I sit there in a daze. - how can this be real?“Damon, would you like a slice of cake?” Mindy asks me, and I shake my head.“No, I am not really hungry,” I sigh as I look up at her, but she hands me the plate anyway.“It’s marble…his favorite. Have a slice for him at least,” she pauses, “Plus, I haven’t seen you eat a single thing today. You might
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume Loved
JessicaI can’t believe how many people are here. Mike was popular in high school, but I went away to college. I had no idea he was this popular in the entire town. I see some of our old peers from high school standing among the large group, but I also see cashiers from the grocery store and even restaurant owners along with their staff. So many people have shown up today because Mike was that type of person; he was loved. The crowd is so diverse, showing that, and my heart aches…..“Now, Damon Ricci, Mikey’s best friend, would like to make a speech.” The preacher announces, and I hear Damon inhale deeply beside me. My eyes widen as Damon stands- I am unsure if he is in any condition to make a speech, but if anyone should, it should be him. He and Mike have been friends for many years now; BEST FRIENDS.Damon carefully watches his footing as he walks toward the podium where the preacher stood. His eyes stay on the ground till he arrives at the wood stand. He then turns around slowly
The Billionaire's Lust For Cheap Perfume I must
DamonMy whole world was shattered in one moment. One minute Mikey was talking to me, and the next, he was flatlining. It still doesn’t feel real, and sometimes I even forget he is gone. I have even tried to call him a few times before I remember he will never answer.My heart hurts so much sometimes that I don’t know how to breathe. He made me promise I would take care of Jessica and her siblings, but right now, I can barely take care of myself. Mindy has been making sure I eat and bathe. She has been staying with me at night while I have my breakdowns; she is a true best friend…but she can never replace him.My father hasn’t let me near Marcus since he found out Mikey died. He says that Marcus needs to suffer, and if he lets me near him, I’ll kill him in a fit of rage. He isn’t wrong- I would probably kill him as soon as my eyes saw him.He doesn’t deserve mercy, and that’s what a swift death would be.I will say his screams coming from the basement have given me some relief…. he de
