-Vincent-

Finally, some peace and quiet, well at least literally.

I looked at the open bedroom and watched as Evelyn slept peacefully.

I saw how tired she was since we arrived in this room until she decided to join her friends for a shopping spree that I knew was not something she enjoyed.

All because I pushed her too far.

It was a playful teasing, kind of foreplay for me, and I know that there are times she almost gave in. But Tony was right, Evelyn is not like us. And the faster I accept that, the better.

Here I was judging her ass of a boyfriend when I was doing the exact same thing but worse.

I am not a romantic guy, I don’t do things like flowers, courting, endless dinner dates, or even cuddling. It’s not my style. Hell, I didn’t even do that for her.

Everyone thought that I loved her and that I was heartbroken when I lost her. But what they didn’t know was that there was never an us.

Sure, we were seen together and I enjoy spending time with her especially since she can sa

    -Evelyn-Vincent was gone when I woke up. Despite the little freedom and alone time I had, I was not sure if I should be glad of it or not. But as I walked around the empty penthouse suite, I realized how big Vincent’s presence was regardless if he only sat in one corner brooding over something on his phone or teasing me.We might be bound by a piece of paper, but why do I feel there was so much more? I hate being unsure. Hate stepping forward only to take three steps back. But what I hate more is the fact that I think I am falling for the guy I shouldn’t fall in love with. “No,” I said, putting a frown on Vincent’s face, “there’s one more,” I added.“Okay,” Vincent replied crossing his strong arms in front of his chest. “What is it?” He asked impatiently.“Do not fall in love with me.”I sunk onto the couch in the living room and I wiped my face with my hands. “Don’t fall in love my ass,” I cursed to myself. I know that I said that because I was so sure then that I would never

    -Vincent-I’m gonna kill Garrett. That idea has been stuck in my head all night. First, for making me leave Evelyn because he thinks he knows me more than I know myself, second for getting Evelyn so drunk that someone almost took advantage of her, third for making Evelyn sick, fourth for making us all come here, fifth for making them go shopping and making Evelyn choose this damn dress, sixth… I can’t think anymore but I can always come up with something. As much as I want to blame everything on Garrett, I know that I was more to blame than him. The moment I saw her dancing like that on the dance floor and with that asshole coming to talk to her, all I saw was red. I have never liked and hated a color as much as I do now. But I have to admit that whatever doubts I had about what it was I was feeling for Evelyn, it was long gone now. I want her.Only her and no one else. But let me remind you that wanting someone doesn’t mean that you love them. And a girl like Evelyn goes for

    -Vincent-It took a bit of my self-control not to give in.“Then take everything from me.”I could have ended this endless push and pull between us by doing it. I could have pushed her back and tied her hands on the bedpost and fuck her senseless. Take what I want and just get over it. I could have been selfish and just put the two of us out of misery. But she was drunk. Maybe not as drunk as she was in the club. Still, I am not sure if the courage that she possesses right now comes from the alcohol or from herself. “Sleep, Evelyn,” it was both a plea and an order. “You’ll thank me in the morning.” I left the bedroom and closed the room behind me harder than I should as if that was enough to relieve all of my pent-up rage. I looked at the living room and contemplated staying on the couch. But I didn’t trust myself enough not to do something stupid while staying close to her, so I left Evelyn alone once again. I hated myself for it.I knocked on the door twice and Tony opened it o

    -Eve-I've always been a good girl, chasing decent grades, nurturing friendships, and doting on my boyfriend Stephen. But now, here I am, standing in the corner with all the grace of a polite spectator, watching Stephen marry Stella, my so-called best friend.I can still remember the exact things that he had said to me just a week ago."Baby, I need to go to New York to meet an important client. You know that I am doing all of this for our future right?" He kissed me goodbye with a warm smile."Yes, I do." He looked at Stella with a smile, the same smile he had given me a week ago.How can he easily forget what we shared?"I can’t believe that I have married a chef! Your food always tastes amazing. You're always working so hard. " He kissed my hands, my hands that I’m always embarrassed about because of their roughness because of all the part-time jobs I had over the years. But Stephen never minded it."I will always be loyal to you." Now, he kissed her hand.I just stood there, watch

    -Eve-The anxiety of not knowing got the best of me so I stood up and left the room. As I got out of the room I was in, I wandered towards the exit and found myself in what seemed like a hidden park inside the building. I was amazed at how beautiful the place looked, on a good day I would have stayed and admired the place. But I need to get out of here and find my cheating ex-boyfriend and ex-bestfriend. If they think they can easily get away from me they are wrong. "I'm not wrong. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Sophie is prettier than you and has a gentler personality. You're so unromantic. Every day with you is torture for me. Do you understand? Leave us."A girl was pushed to the ground and was crying silently. In front of her, there was a man and a woman, their half-naked bodies and love bites telling everything. What the hell is wrong with the world? And how come there are more jerks than there are good guys? Before I knew it, my feet moved on their own and didn’t stop

    -Evelyn-I don’t really enjoy shopping. Well, shopping for clothes, bags, or shoes, that is. I rarely go to the mall, mainly because I don’t have the luxury to do so before, but if I do, you won’t see me in department stores. You would see me in bookstores instead. I am a bookish person, and an introvert who finds her happiness staying at home, curled up in a quiet room with a book in my hand. The only time I was not doing that was when I was with Stephen. I hate that I always kept thinking about him these past few days. Well not romantically at least. It was more of a realization moment for me. Realization of how bad my choices are when it comes to men even though he was the only boyfriend that I had ever had. Well before my fake relationship with Vincent. Fake relationship, I repeated to myself, making sure that I won’t forget that first word. Lately, I can’t help but compare my relationship with Stephen versus my relationship with Vincent. I know that I shouldn’t do it becaus

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 31 - Sin City and Vincent Equals Troubles

    -Eve-One of the worst things about being in a fake relationship is catching feelings. It hadn’t been an issue when we started this game. Vincent has always proved that he was someone I wouldn’t want to be with.I’m not even sure when it started or how. Not sure if started when he bought the bookstore for me or when saved me several times from Stephen. When I first saw him, he was naked with a woman in bed, I always thought that he was the filthiest man in the entire world. I knew that I didn’t want any piece of him at that time. But the more time I spend with him, the more I get to know him. The wall I carefully created between us slowly crumbles. At first, I tried to deny whatever it was I was feeling and dismissed it as a crush, something every other girl feels about him. Regardless of his constant mood swings, Vincent Beckett is a sight to die for. He stands six foot eleven, every girl’s ideal height with broad shoulders, buffed but not in a scary way like the bouncers you find

    -Vincent-Sin City…I know I was not in a good mood going here. Didn’t even want to be here. Well, if it’s just me and Evelyn then that’s a totally different conversation. I know that Evelyn and I had bonded over the plane ride. It was fun to know how easily I could push her buttons and watch her cheeks turn crimson or how her eyes widen whenever she was surprised or embarrassed. I also came to the conclusion that her ex was nothing but an asshole and a douchebag. “So,” Garrett said placing his arms around my neck as he looked at me while wearing that smug smile that I wanted nothing more but to erase from his face. “It seems like you are now in a good mood,” he added.“I was,” I replied not even hiding my irritation from him. “Oh, come on,” He said, still smiling smugly. “I know why you’re in that mood.”I turned to face him, and the glint in his told me that he was up to something. “It’s been a while since you got laid,” his voice low and serious. “I know that you have officiall
