The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Nineteen- 'Please listen to me!'
We were so exhausted when we got home. I headed to my room immediately and pulled off my shoes. I sank myself deeply on the bed with a loud thud."Fuck!" I cursed, loudly.Many things are going through my mind right now. I can't really think properly, though. What should I even think about right now? Is it about the outcome of the meeting or that I still have to stay at Mum's place for another day. The thought of it really sulks. Everything sulks!I stared blankly at the ceiling and spread my arms and legs widely apart diagonally, like a hopeless soul. I was indeed hopeless and helpless.My thoughts strayed from my family and then I remembered Roseville. We haven't talked or chatted for days now. I really missed her! We haven't even replied to her text yet. I just hope she won't be too worried or upset with me. I didn't just know what to say, it wasn't my fault after all.After much thinking, I decided to give her a call. She didn't pick up. I dialed her number for the umpteenth time,
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty- The Stunning Creature
It's been weeks now. Almost a month already, since I haven't seen or heard from my Rosy! I've missed her so much.I wet my bed with tears every night, when I think about her and how she left me, without uttering a word. If only she knew how much I love and have missed her. If only she could listen to me. If only she could…My ruthless family, except for darling Mum of course, never ever cared about me. Dad never gave a fucking damn! He fought tooth and nail to make sure that he frustrated my life so well, at all costs. And here I am, drowning deep in my pain, without any flicker of hope. Not even a glint of it!I was home now, at the comfort of my room, though I found in no comfort therein. Instead, I was clouded by the shadowy torrents of anguish and seemingly unending pain. I'm sure would have been better off at Mum's place. At least, I'd get the right dose of comfort I yearned for.The lawyer came a week after, just as dad promised, that was a fortnight ago, and fortuitously, the
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty-One - Mr Arrogant CEO
Alice's POVI came to Alexander's Hotels and Suites to apply for a job as a secretary. Prior to that, I learned that they needed a new secretary through a magazine. I was twenty-two and I already had a degree in Business Administration. I've also worked with a few companies earlier on. I knew I was fit for the job, so I applied for it. As I arrived at the company, the first thing I noticed was the carefree attitude of the people there. Everyone went on with their businesses without apparent care in the world. What particularly put me off, was the ineptitude of the receptionist. She scolded the visitors and other fellow applicants and spoke harshly to them, for no just cause. Well, perhaps because their boss, the CEO, hasn't been able to put up an appearance, in about a month's time, as I heard. I could recall categorically how she spoke to an elderly man who wanted to be directed to where to make reservations for a room."Hello ma'am! Please, where could I book a room?" The elderly
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty-Two - Getting Ready For The Interview
I woke up early, as usual, stretching lazily, like a little child who didn't have enough sleep. Well, I really needed to sleep some more, but it was stuck in my mind that I had plans for the day. Gently opening my sleepy eyes, I took a glance at the clock. It was 5:30 am.It's been exactly a week since I applied for the job. I got an email from the company two days ago, that I was supposed to have an interview today. The interview was scheduled for 8 am. I had to get ready quickly, so that I won't be running late. Getting up from bed, I quickly dashed into the bathroom and took a warm bath. The weather wasn't really friendly. It was cold all through the night. I could only sleep under the warmth of my large blanket. It seemed to be even colder outside.After having my shower, I got dressed in a black pencil skirt that fell just below my knees, accentuating my curves and a white long-sleeved shirt that was buttoned till the top, asides for the collar button. I slipped into my matching
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty-Three - The Interview
I walked confidently into the venue for the interview, with smiles plastered on my face. I wasn't reall happy, though. I wasn't happy because I didn't expect to be interviewed by the CEO himself. Not that I hated him, I only disliked chance and happenstance. I just needed to look cheerful at least, to hide my anxiety, so to say.There was Mr hot CEO and one of his staff, whom I suppose was his personal assistant. They were talking in low tones, while scrutinizing each of the documents on their desk. Luckily, each applicant was to leave the office after being interviewed. I'm sure I'd have felt claustrophobic, if it wasn't so. I was also thankful that there were two men in there. Had it been only the hot arrogant CEO, I should be on my guard, else something sleazy tries to happen. Not that I don't have anything to worry about, but my anxiety decreased with that. I walked gracefully towards the desk. His personal assistant motioned me to have a seat on the chair opposite where he sat.
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty-Four - My Boyfriend
My boyfriend, Charles, has been the love of my life ever since I knew love. He has been so good to me ever since then. I wouldn't have wished for anyone else. I could remember particularly how we met at high school, I was sixteen then, and he was eighteen. He was also two classes higher than I was.It was a cool Friday evening, when I was returning home after my tutorial lessons. I usually had extramural lessons with Mr Greg, my Chemistry teacher after school hours.On this particular occasion, I had to return home a little later because I had some classwork I needed to complete before returning. Mr Greg also took more time than usual, trying to explain some keywords to me.After a tiresome school day and an unending tutorial session with Mr Greg, I led my weary and exhausted self home. My home wasn't too far from the school, so I took the quiet, lonely path home.Unbeknownst to me, someone followed me from behind. As he advanced towards me, my heart raced. I had to increase my pace.
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty-Five - He Had To Leave
My boyfriend, Charles and I parted ways temporarily, after he left high school to further his education. I could recollect the painful incident that happened years back, on that fateful evening, when he visited, in order to tell me that he was leaving."Hi Alice!" He greeted me, as he bolted into my room unannounced. He couldn't at least knock at the door, or even wait to be permitted to get in. That was the height of it. Luckily, I wasn't naked or trying to put on my clothes. Well, even if I was, it wasn't too bad either. I wasn't really particular as to how anyone enters my room, but I felt a bit offended on this occasion, I couldn't make out why."Hey Charles! What's up? Why are you here this time? Is everything alright?" I was shocked and confused at the same time.The pale expression on his face wasn't helpful at all. There was a long moment of silence. I looked closely into his eyes. They stung with tears, doubling my anxiety."What is it, Charles? Please talk to me! What is it
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Twenty-Six - College
It was my first day at Oxford University, London. I was greeted by the blissful environment and a lot of cheerful, but serious-minded faces around me. The flowers bloomed along the beautiful coal-tarred roads, lending credence to an enabling environment of academia. The environment was well sculpted and thoughtfully crafted to suit my every ounce of aesthetic sense. It was indeed a new world here, I thought.As I walked in, I was so elated. I was so happy to be a student here. I felt so blessed to be a student of the prestigious Oxford University. This was what I've always dreamt for. I drove my traveling bag along, with smiles plastered on my face.Being a new student, finding my way around the place was a little difficult. Charles left only a few descriptions, as to where we'll meet, I'd just hope I could make do with it. The direction charts by the road side wasn't too helpful, so I tried to ask for directions from a few students. To my chagrin, none were willing to at least give m

The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter One Hundred - Epilogue
Welcoming my first child brought me more joy than I expected. I beamed with smiles as I cuddle him dearly in my arms and reminisce about my past and how serendipity smiled at me. Bernard was now a happy father. I'm so glad and thankful for bringing my child into this world. He was my joy giver and now my joy was complete. The living room was flooded with family and friends, who came around to send greetings and gifts to the new baby. Becky came along with Davis, smiling at each other all the time. I suspected something going on between the two of them, but confirmed my thoughts when I spotted the diamond engagement ring in her finger. “You're engaged?” My popped, as I stared at the beautiful ring in her middle finger. “Of course, I am,” she returned the smile, flaunting her ringed finger in the air. “Wow! Congratulations to you!” I cheered. “Thank you. You too, Alice! You're now a mother,” she replied heartily. “Where’s your fiancé?” I asked, to be sure I wasn't mistaken
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Nine - Pregnancy
The early morning sun rose steadily, shedding its beams across to my weary eyes. I gently opened them up and stretched lazily, yawning tiredly while I turned my head to my side. Bernard wasn't there. 'But where could he be?’ My heart missed a beat. My head spinned and I felt heavy blocks pushing their weight against it. I cleared the sleep off my eyes and stared around the room, expecting I would find him somewhere close by, but I didn't. I became worried. “Ben!” I called out his name but there was still no response. I stood up anxiously and headed into the bathroom to check if perhaps he'd be there, but I still didn't find him. My heart pounded hard in my chest. ‘Where could he be now? What the hell is going on?’ The fear of being abandoned seized me. I stepped out of the room hastily, as though chased by a monster and went to the next room, his study, to search for him. The study was empty and dumb. “Bernard!” My throaty voice pierce into thin air. “Where are you?”
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Eight - Honeymoon
Alice's POV Everything seemed to be happening so fast, but at least so perfectly. I wouldn't have believed it if I was told that I'd get married soon, and to Charles as I previously envisioned, but to my boss. That was the very best day of my life, when we stood there, radiantly breathtaking on the altar and exchanged marital vows. Walking down the aisle with Bernard was the best decision I have ever made and there is no going back. Here I am in our private hotel suite, designed for just the two of us, in the cuddle of his arms, while I reminisce about the activities of yesterday. From the church wedding, to the reception party and then to this very bed we slept, last night, it all replayed in my head. We went wild last night. Our clothes were still sprawled across the floor. I could remember almost vividly how he threw me to the bed and undressed me hungrily, like a prey he was ready to devour. He did so many other things to me, so many that I can't even remember. The only on
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Seven - The Wedding
A month later, The church hall was tastefully decorated to suit the event of the day. Numerous guests from different walks of life sprawled over the place in their festive attires, wearing cheerful faces. The orchestra serenaded the congregation with soft melodious tones from their instruments. Cheerful indistinct chatters were heard around the hall, all set for the arrival of the bride. I waited patiently at the altar, in my custom made black suit and matching trousers, together with Davis, my best man, who was dressed similarly. I beamed with smiles, in anticipation of the bride. The clergyman also stood at the altar, ready to execute the ritual of exchange of marital vows between me and the love of my life. As if propelled by some telepathic instigation, Alice showed up as expected, with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. She was putting on a sparkling white satin dress that was tailored perfect to fit her figure and accentuate her curves. Her skin glowed brightly, as she w
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Six - Engagement Party
Two weeks later. "This has to be perfect for Alice. Are you sure I'm doing it all right?" I asked Davis, pacing around with the ring box with me. He shook his head in approval. "You're going to do just fine Ben, don't bother about it." Davis assured me and I heaved a sigh. “The truth is, I plan on proposing to Alice tonight, I really hope she says yes. I mean she can't possibly say no? Right? We've been together for a couple of months now and Alice has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I love her to bits, and she loves me too, and I think this is the big next, final step for us.” "Hey! Man up! She's here already." Davis said to me and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Do not mess this up, dude!" Davis warned and I nodded sheepishly, nervousness taking over my system immediately. I watched from the corner, as my dear Alice smiled in happiness, in respect of the surprise party thrown in her honour, she radiated in happiness. I'm enthralled with her beauty. There
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Five - Dinner Date
Bernard's POV Would I say I was nervous? Or was it just a regular tingling feeling one has when on a date with a woman one has formerly known? Whatever the case may be, that was exactly how I felt right now. She sat graciously opposite me, beaming with enticing smiles that I couldn't resist. I tried smiling back, but each time I did, I ended up blushing openly. It was a dinner date in my personal suite in the hotel. She was putting on a short red sexy dress, with a lowered neckline, exposing a little of her cleavage and high stiletto heels, that she would easily pass for a lady of the night in. Her red tinted lips and mascara that made her eyelashes more prominent further attested to that. Her skin glowed brightly, even in the dimly lit lounge. We had barely started to enjoy each other's company, when the waiter arrived with the menu. “What would you like us to have for dinner?” I asked her, in anticipation. “Cheese sandwich with some grilled chicken,” she answered. I smiled wi
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Four - He Cheated
“Charles!” I yelled on top of my lungs, exasperated at the activity going on in my very presence.Charles was making out with another woman, who moaned so loudly and irritatingly, feeling the entire room with their sounds. Their ripped off clothes sprawled across the floor, giving more details to what was going on.“So, you could do this to me?” I shook my head slowly in regret.Hot tears welled in my eyes while I stared disdainfully at him. My expression saddened at the bitter taste of a painful betrayal. Charles didn't utter a word. He only ignored me and continued with what he was doing, in my presence.“Can you be so shameless? This is all you could think of, huh?” I flared up angrily, watching as the two lovers made love in my presence.Only then did he pause and glare at me, still clutching onto the woman beneath him.“Look Alice, I'm having a great time right now. I'm tired of you. So tired that you've become an obligation to me. I'd appreciate it if you leave,” His words shat
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Three - Falling For Him
Alice's POVResigning from work wasn't as easy as it sounded. I've always threatened my boss about resigning from his company, to get a job elsewhere, but I never meant it. Who could have sorted my unending bills, if I had had meant it in the real sense? Did he think I was willing to leave so soon?As I heard about his release, after serving his one month jail terms, I assumed it was a perfect opportunity to follow my heart, and not my head. The wrapped paper in the light brown sealed envelope was already seated on his desk, awaiting his approval. I also noticed that I wasn't the only one following this course, others did too. I smiled satisfactorily, thinking about how our boss was going to react. I was unaware that Mr Bernard had other plans until I found him in my office, kneeling down to plead with me to forgive him. That moment was one of the very best since I stepped into his company. I suspected something fishy, but I decided not to show it, granted that he was remorseful.“I
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Two - 'Can We Go Out On a Date?'
I walked briskly along the hallway and incidentally found Alice coming towards my direction. The devastation on my face transformed suddenly to a smile, as my eyes met hers. She seemed to have just walked out of her office. She stopped in her tracks as soon as she noticed I was coming. “You need to sign a document urgently,” Alice said, looking at me with a straight face. I stared at her intently as though finding it difficult to fathom the meaning of the message. My mind wasn't really interested in what she said, but her. “What document are you talking about?” I asked for clarity, as though I had an idea what she was talking about. “The Simpsons, they asked for your approval on an upcoming project,” she replied, leading the way back to her office. I followed her from behind, secretly admiring her well-rounded ass as she walked. A playful smirk played on my lips. We got into her office and she handed me the papers, still standing close to her desk. I sat down next to her an
