The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 40. A Dinner To Attend
SCARLETT. For the whole of today, I didn't set my eyes on Finn. I was busy with Marsai, Abigail, and Omar, and a few heads in the conference hall. We took a lot of time, talking and pointing out different mistakes and making corrections. We went to lunch and I had to ask someone to get us food and we ate while still working. By the time we were done, it was almost evening. Marsai and Omar fell into their seats, breathing tiredly. "Can we at least rest?" Marsai cried, her voice trembling with tiredness and she fell back into her chair. Abigail looked at me and so did Omar. I could see the tiredness on their faces. But I turned a deaf ear to them. "How dare you? Tired when I am not?" "But you've done nothing but sit there all day while snacking. We've been on our feet!" "Abigail?" I said and gave her a stern look. "Ten minutes." Even with the groans, they were aware that nothing would change my mind. After the ten-minute break, we went back to work and the clock
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 41. Kiss Me, Finn
FINN. I didn't really feel comfortable with how agitated and uneasy she was. Throughout the drive, she listened to loud music and blocked her ears with her airpod and that was when I knew she didn't want to talk to me. It was nothing to fret about really. She was probably upset or something and I was going to leave her to do whatever she wanted. If that was going to make her comfortable enough to attend dinner, then so be it. She had given me the address of her parents' home. One I knew very well. It was in Beverly Hills and close to a few places I had worked as an usher and bodyguard before. "Finn!" She called over the loud music. I reduced the volume before turning to her for a brief moment. "Yes?" "Are you going to be comfortable staying outside?" I thought she was mad at me. She looked quite concerned. I shrugged. "I have no issues with that. I'd probably just drive around the vicinity and whenever you're ready to go home, you can always call me," Scarlett nodde
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 42. Husband To Be
SCARLETT. I was welcomed by the aroma of baked apple pie and grilled meat. I didn't need a magician to tell me they were having dinner out back tonight which was definitely my mother's idea. I walked into the house, looking around and taking note of the familiar furniture and paintings on the wall, and from where I stood, I saw them through the glass doors. Kelvin and his parents were seated around the smooth wooden table. My father was standing in front of the griller and he dished foot into plates. My mother took plates to the table. I scoffed and dumped my purse on one of the chairs in the living room. I remembered always begging them when I was younger. I would set everything up from the grill to the meat and tell them how excited I was to have dinner out back one day but my father always made sure it was impossible. He made sure to remind me that he had no time and was either busy with meetings or traveling around. As for my mother, she was like my father's puppet, doing
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 43. Terrible Son
SCARLETT. Against my wishes, I had forced myself back to the table outside, apologizing to everyone including Kelvin who I would have loved to punch in the face. "It's good you came back to your senses, Scarlett," My father said and placed a plate of grilled chicken before me. "Learn to put your manners in check," I would have loved to paste this plate on his face just to put him in check but I knew I couldn't even do that. Not even if I dared to. My mother joined a few moments later and I was sure she had spent a good deal of time in her room crying over something she had ruined herself. Her face was dried and covered in light makeup to cover the red, puffy cheeks. She took my hands and squeezed. Feeling quite uncomfortable with the touch, I slowly pulled away from her. Ursula leaned forward and smiled at me. I returned it with a fake one. "So tell me, how are you thriving? Business and all. I see what you do in magazines and tabloids and I am really proud of you,"
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 44. A Shady Story
SCARLETT. As we walked towards the front of the house, my heart thudded against my chest. Kelvin followed behind him for reasons I didn't understand. I wanted him to die on the spot or something because why was he going after me? The house was really large so we had to take a short walk toward the parking lot. I knew Finn would be with Trenton. They were both seated on one of the stone chairs close to the fountain and as we walked towards them, I noticed Kelvin looked really upset but I didn't care. He could get angry all he wanted. "Is he the one seated with Trenton?" My father asked and I nodded. "Yes," "How did you meet him?" My father turned to me. I was taken aback by this question as I hadn't been expecting it. I had to think for a moment before I spoke. "I sent out a letter to the agency recruiting bodyguards that I was in search of one and that was how I employed him," "Sounds like a shady story to me," Kelvin said, folding his arms.
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 45. To The Moon And Back
FINN. From the moment I stepped into their monstrous home, I had a strange feeling. Being rich came with its perks; it also had its bad sides, and it seemed she was only experiencing its bad sides. After she had gone in, I spent a little time with Trenton. Nice dude. He was already done with his duties and we had a little conversation before he talked a bit about the rich. "Picture and public perfect with chaotic homes," He had chuckled. "I don't think I envy the rich. I do not want to remain poor. At least, being able to provide for my family will make me happy. Riches come with its perks and bad sides and I feel sorry for your boss. She's been through a lot she doesn't even talk about and she still finds a way to come out strong. I envy her a lot." And after I had seen how her father slapped her across the cheek, I knew she was indeed going through a lot. She didn't want to talk about it. At least not now. She had even slept off in the car which was unusual an
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 46. Under A Toxic Roof
FINN. I moved aside to give her the space she needed to climb into the bed. Once she was in, I pulled her into me, engulfing her with my warmth and digging my nose into her neck to inhale her scent. We fit so perfectly. Her tall, slender body and my larger frame. She cuddled into me and I pulled her in. She snuggled deep. "I want to be under your skin!" She whined. Laughing, I pulled her in again till there was no space left between our bodies. "Comfortable now?" "Not really, but I'll manage," She said, inhaling deeply. "You smell so nice, Finn," "Thank you, Scar," I smiled. "So what's it you want to talk about?" She was silent for a while. Then she sighed. "It's a lot, Finn. Wish I hadn't been born into my family," She stared into my eyes. "I wish I had a family like yours," I laughed. "Be careful what you wish for," "What? You seem happy at least. You might not have so much, but there's love thriving. Your mother calls and so does your sis
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 47. Into My Arms
FINN. This week went by in a blur. The presentation had gone well and the Hawaiian clients were pleased and they had gotten a contract. Scarlett decided to hold a small celebration on the last day of work. Meanwhile, I had isolated myself from everyone, only appearing at least once or twice a day. Scarlett had been too engrossed in work to actually pay me any heed. We had sex every night and during those periods, we bonded quite well. Scarlett and I talked, starting from our childhood moments to our moments of adulthood. Every morning, one of us woke up in the other's room. I enjoyed waking up to her but I didn't tell her that. That would be going against the promise I made to myself not to fall for her. Today was Friday and the last day of the week and everyone finished working really early. Abigail had come into my cubicle during the day to inform me of the party which was going to be held later in the day. While dropping a hint of what the ladies want

THIRD PERSON’S POV "You know, it would do no damage if you told me where you were going that night," Scarlett asked as she leaned back on the lounge close to the pool area, hands on her belly, watching as Finn flipped steak on the grill. It had been three months now and that question had gone unanswered. No excuse for the lie Finn told could exonerate him. He turned towards her and sighed. "If you worry less about that night and more about the babies we are to have in less than six months, it'd be a good thing." She sat up. "Really? My husband sneaking out of the house late at night when he's supposed to fuck me the next morning doesn't deserve an answer?" Finn blew out a heavy breath and flipped the steak again before he turned to look at her, both hands on his hip. He looked really funny in the apron he was wearing. "I am starting to believe that the only reason you keep asking me this question is because I should have been fucking you instead of sneaking out of
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 159. Married To Finn
SCARLETT. Worst day of my life. I didn't want to think of how things had gone this morning; how I had cried several times and ruined my makeup. How I had yelled at everyone, not minding if they were just there to do their jobs. None of the bridesmaids were my friends. I had told my friends I didn't want them to be bridesmaids when I was getting married to a man I hated the most. Wasn't it weird to be married to another man while going through a heartbreak from another to whom you had confessed your feelings to and he had done the same? Things were only going to get shittier from here and my parents were to blame. I hadn't spoken to either of them and as my father curled his arm for me to slip mine through, I cursed the day I was born into this family. I should have been poor and less privileged. Maybe Finn and I would have gotten married. I wondered what he was doing now. Happy with his family, on his way to falling in love with another woman who wasn't as problematic as
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 158. Like My Father
FINN. I'd gotten to the verge of telling her that I was her groom. It had taken a lot of restraint for me to actually walk away. As I drove towards the warehouse, I stared at the bag she had returned to me and sighed. I hated to put her in this position but that was it. After dealing with Kelvin tomorrow, I was to see the designer in charge of my wedding tux to get it fitted. It was going to be a long day for me tomorrow. As soon as I got to the warehouse, one of the guards standing by the entrance of the warehouse hurried towards me and bowed. "Boss, they are all waiting inside for you." Was I ever going to get used to being addressed as boss and treated like one? Because why did it feel a little weird that this man was treating me like a god? My father must have really had a huge impact on them for them to show me this much respect, age regardless. The warehouse was filled with people. Some worked on cars, and some sat around tables with drinks in front of them,
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 157. The Perfect Gem
SCARLETT. All day, I waited for Finn to return with mixed feelings. What if something went wrong again? Wasn't he going to see Raya? He was supposed to be back in about three hours. But it was seven hours already and quite late. I had tried distracting myself with movies but then, my father had sent a text, telling me that my wedding dress was ready and would be delivered on my wedding day because he didn't want me ruining it. What the hell was going on? When I sent him a text, informing him that I was no longer getting married and that I didn't care if he was going to take all that I had, I didn't get a response. Calling him was futile because he didn't even pick up my call. I had to call my mother, who informed me that everything happening right now was out of her control. I had been infuriated by her words but that was it, I guess. I had spent the rest of the day fuming and waiting for Finn to return so I could narrate my ordeal to him. I was in the
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 156. Good Progress
FINN. For someone who I had believed was so powerful and controlling and could do anything he liked, Scarlett's father could really be humbled. After he had asked me to wait, he had led me to his study, his demeanor changing from one of scorn to the utmost respect. It was really amusing to see him humbled. We spoke for minutes and he decided that we had to work together. I hadn't made it easy for him anyway. I kept throwing jabs of how much of a terrible father he had been to Scarlett. "Finn, I know all of these," He had said at one point. "But I had to do certain things because she was my only child. If I hadn't been hard on her, she wouldn't be where she is today." "By that, you mean being aware that she was molested when she was a teenager and you did nothing about it? Going ahead to get her married to the same man who molested her when she was young. That's how you thought you were training her?" I asked, my voice laced with disgust. "You really did a bad job
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 155. The Mafia Lord
FINN. I watched as she slept in my arms. We had talked after our kiss and she'd told me how she'd been at the therapist's twice this week and was getting better. I was so proud of her. She could actually do without me having to be there. She was becoming a better version of herself and I was extremely glad that I was there to witness it. I was never going to let her leave my side. She belonged to me now and it felt refreshing to know that this woman loved me as much as I did and had, in fact, loved me for a long time. Things were starting to fall into place. Meeting her was a miracle. I had to admit that to myself. Ignoring the ups and downs, she was really a blessing to me. Somehow, she has made me a better version of myself to her and my family. With her, I'd been able to afford a whole lot and I found out the truth about my father's life and how he was killed. I couldn't tell her. This was top secret but there was someone else I could tell. Someone who knew
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 154. That I Love You
SCARLETT. I had been pacing about the living room when I caught a glimpse of a black, matte Maserati stopping in front of my house. I had paused, wondering who it was, and when a familiar figure came out of the car, dressed impeccably and looking like he hadn't gone through a series of tortures from the man I hated most in the world, my heart flew. The glass of brandy I had been holding slipped into my hand and crashed to the floor as I burst into a fit of tears while still running toward him. Just as I opened the door, he was there, standing before me with a smile and I just knew, I just knew I had to tell him everything. I just knew he meant a lot to me. We were seated on one of the couches and I couldn't just take my hands off him. I touched his face, searched his hands for any form of bruises, and even had to pull his chest up. I covered a hand over my mouth and more tears slipped down my cheeks when I saw the red marks, he had gotten from being constantly electro
The Billionaire's Outrageous Addiction 153. Miserable Without You
FINN."Your father, Fernandez Edwardo, was the Lord of the Dark Knight Mafia," Jason began. "He was the founder of this great foundation. He picked us all up when we needed to be helped. We were wanted for crimes we didn't commit and he stood by us till it was all resolved. We were recruited by him and that was when he created this group. After years of working hard, and putting in sweat and blood, we became one of the most influential Mafia groups in Italy. He finally decided that we extended to other parts of the world and America was one of them."This had to be some sort of movie set I was about to act in, right? This was the script being read out to me? The summary? But I listened."Things went well here and then, when it was time for us to return to base, he met your mother. Eliana. He fell for her. Hard. But one thing he didn'

FINN."Finn Davis?" He frowned. "Trenton Davis's son.""How do you know my father?" I asked and coughed."Damn!" He turned to the men by the door. "Lose him the fuck up!"But Kelvin stopped him. "Why should we do that?! He's my prisoner and he's going to be killed anyway!"The man turned to him with a glare. "You seem to have forgotten your place here, Kelvin. I advise you to step aside if you don't want things to go down wrongly for you.""And who the fuck is he that you want him untied, huh?!" Kelvin grumbled.The man turned to him. "He's the son of our late boss! So you better pay your fucking respects because he's now in charge of everyone as soon as he has been sworn i
