*BENNETT*

I got home early as usual but I had been expecting Maliyah to be home from her mother’s place by now.

When I couldn’t find her in the house,I asked the maids and they informed me that she wasn’t home yet.

Well,women tend to get very chatty when they meet.They never run out of conversations.

*************

It was 7:pm and she still wasn’t home.I was missing my little Dove already.Yeah, it’s hard to go so many hours without seeing her face.

I dialed her number,calling her a few times but she didn’t pick up.

I shot her a text.

Me:Babe,are you spending the night at your mom’s place?

Thirty minutes passed and she still didn’t reply to my texts or calls so I gave her mother a call.

“Good evening,Mrs Robert.”I began when she picked up.

“Good evening,Ben.How are you?”

“I’m good.Can you give the phone to Maliyah please?”

“Maliyah?She left like three hours ago.Isn’t she home yet?”

Three hours ago?

I gulped.

“Have you tried calling her?”Mrs Robert sounded alarmed now and I quickly put h

    *BENNETT*Pulling up in front of Charlotte’s house,I rushed towards the main door and knocked hard on it.“That was fast.”She began,opening the door.I walked in,frantically as she shut the door.“Where is she?”“Hmm…will you like to have anything to eat, drink?”She purred,ignoring my question.“Where is she?”I asked again.“You know what,let’s watch a movie first.”And then I snapped.Did she seriously think I was here to beat around the bush?I grabbed her by the neck.“WHERE IS SHE?!”“Calm the fuck down!I won’t hurt her if you…”She choked out.Recalling Maliyah’s face made me squeezed my fingers around her neck, strangling her.“She has a black eye,Charlotte.You fucking hurt her!You can come at me with anything.But not with Maliyah!”She struggled with me as I pushed her against the wall, determined to end her fucking life.“WHERE IS SHE?!”Her face started turning blue and I pushed her to the floor,roughly.She coughed a few times,holding her neck and moving away from me as I app

  • The Billionaire's Temporary Wife   At her mercy.

    *BENNETT*“I want us to get married in two days.”She said to me.“Do you realize that I’m currently married?That would seem so absurd to the public.”“I’ll take care of it.I already ordered the media to publish an article tonight stating you had gotten divorced.Sure,the public will find it odd that you got married again immediately but I don’t really care about what they think.What I care about and what you should do right now is end things with Maliyah.”I frowned when she handed me a notebook.She brought out a small device.“When I turn this on,you can communicate with Maliyah, she would be able to hear you loud and clear and you’d be able to hear her too.Now,don’t even think of snatching this device from me.It was made in a way that you would never be able to track the receiving end of the call.I spent months planning this,Ben.You’ll never be able to find Maliyah unless I let her go.Brilliant, right?”My teeth clenched.She was so enjoying taunting me and I just wanted to knock he

    *BENNETT*I tried my best to hold it together after hurting the most important person in my life.“Oh,I love when things go the way I want.”Charlotte purred.I glared at her.Things would go the way she wants until I find Maliyah.And after I do, I’ll see if she can still put up this annoying smile.“Don’t look at me that way.You’re supposed to look at me,dotingly.Madam Valentina and I will set up the wedding in two days,don’t worry about it.You only need to make yourself available.Plus,you need to be my very happy groom.I don’t wanna see you sulking or being gloomy on that day.You’re to be bubbling with joy and if you do not act accordingly,if you do not act like the happiest groom in the whole world…well…you already know who will suffer for it.”I knew I had to leave right now before I do something to her.Something that could possibly end Maliyah’s life.“Text me the address of the wedding.”With that,I walked out of her house.***********“How did it go?”Logan asked when I got back

    *BENNETT*I don’t think I’ve ever been more tensed up all day as I was today.I was barely holding it together and I still was.Felicia and Joan won’t stop calling and it bothered me so much to keep ignoring their calls.I had also been informed that they were at my house.I honestly didn’t know what to say to them.How am I supposed to explain to them that my ex kidnapped Maliyah?That I was currently doing everything to please Charlotte so Maliyah would be kept alive and unharmed.I winced recalling Joan’s words,when she had been skeptical about letting Maliyah be with me.I had wanted to prove her wrong.I had wanted to show her that Maliyah and I were good together.She would definitely keep Maliyah away from me after this.I honestly wasn’t sure Maliyah would forgive me for this.I didn’t want to think about that right now.I just wanted to save her.I just wanted her alive and well.The wedding ceremony finally came to an end.It was fucking late and I was waiting for Charlotte at he

  • The Billionaire's Temporary Wife   Tragically.

    *BENNETT*My entire body grew weak and I sat on the ground,feeling my whole world crumbling.By the time the first responders came,they took some time to end the fire and retrieve what was left of the damage.Two bodies.Two bodies burnt beyond recognition.A male and a female.I couldn’t explain the state of devastation I was in when I saw my ring on her finger.I never thought…I never imagined I would see Maliyah in death.I couldn’t even bring myself to touch the body.I should be crying but it’s as if this wasn’t sinking in yet.Mark ran up to Logan and I.“We just got information that Charlotte is trying to leave the country.Her father and his men are escorting her.”My teeth clenched.She had definitely gotten her father involved in this in hopes that I wouldn’t hurt her myself.But there was no way she was escaping.“Get her arrested now!”I ordered.I’d make sure she gets a death sentence.But first I needed to see her,perhaps she could explain this to me.She could tell me that

    Jerome frantically glanced up at the screen again and then shut his eyes for a moment.“I’ve…I’ve worked for Miss Watson for eight years now…”And then he started to talk…to say everything Charlotte had ordered him to do.Even before I met Charlotte,she had killed a lot of people.She had always had this belief that anyone who crossed her deserved to die.She killed anyone who posed as a threat to her career,she killed people who even upset her by mistake,she killed people as if they were insects.She was responsible for my warehouse explosion which also cut short so many lives.She was responsible for Maliyah’s accident which led to the pregnancy loss.And now,Drew and Maliyah’s death.Jerome didn’t know exactly what happened that day.He told me that Charlotte’s plan was to give Maliyah a painless death.He had already gone home and left her to the rest of the men.He didn’t know why Charlotte changed her mind or what transpired that day.He was only called up by Charlotte after the car

    NEARLY SIX YEARS LATER…Life went on,but it was never the same again.There were nights,there was days Ben felt like killing himself but he felt that was too quick a punishment for him.So he had been existing,merely existing and wanting to slowly wither and die.He had indeed been withering for the past six years.It had started that night at the beach when he had saw that flame from the lighter.It became a constant trigger for him.Anytime,he sees flame or fire,he breaks down into a panic attack.He didn’t seek any help and his PTSD worsened.From having panic attacks,he started having short mental episodes whenever he was triggered.He got tattoos of her.The many nights when he couldn’t sleep,he painted lots and lots of portraits of her,offhand.His life now revolved around a cocktail of mind-numbing pain,sadness and guilt.Logan tried by all means to be by his side most of the times,to make sure he doesn’t get triggered.Over the years,Logan had arranged different therapists for him an

    *BENNETT*After spending some time at the private cemetery,Emily and I strolled towards a park.I sat on a bench as I watched the kids play on the slide few meters away from us.“Here.”I turned to face Emily to see her stretching a small bag at me.“I was told this tea works like magic for insomnia.It’s more effective than the last one I got you.”“Thanks.”I murmured,taking it from her.I always try to take whatever medication she found for my lack of sleep over the years.I just wanted a good sleep,even if it was just one night.I no longer know how it feels to sleep soundly.“I was just telling Drew that I found someone.”She said,wincing.I cocked an eyebrow.”You found someone?”She sighed.”It’s the guy at work.The one I told you was infuriating before,well,I kinda…I’m in love with him now.After Drew died,I honestly thought I could never fall in love again,I just wanted to focus on raising the kids but Lewis is…I don’t know…he gives me butterflies.”She said and winced even more.I o

  • The Billionaire's Temporary Wife   FINAL CHAPTER

    THREE MONTHS LATER…*MALIYAH*“He just got here.”I announced to the others and we quickly took out positions.As soon as Ben walked into the house,we turned on the lights and yelled.“SURPRISE!”“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!”We began to sing for him.I knew he won’t be overly thrilled but he tried his best to look thrilled.He had said before he’d prefer spending his birthday with just me.But I wanted him to be surrounded by other people,to know more people found him amazing.In attendance were Logan,Leah,Timothy,Miles,Simon,Madam Valentina,my mom and Aunt FeliciaI could his smile fade as he saw Madam Valentina and I quickly walked up to him,whispering and warning him not to chase her away.He had been talking into forgiving my mom but he won’t forgive his grandmother.He always says what his Grandma did was unforgivable but she was remorseful about it and I felt that was all that matters now.Not that things were back to the way they were with my mom,I was still pretty wary of her but she

    *MALIYAH*I moved in with Ben that day because I just couldn’t spend another day away from him.The following day,I got to the office super late.It had been hard for Ben and I to go our separate ways to work this morning.He had dropped me off at the front of Mobilotech and it was another struggle to get down from his car.He had to walk me into the company’s lobby hand in hand and we eventually let go of each other,promising each other that we would close from work early.“Look who finally decided to show up.”Timothy teased when I walked into his office to submit some documents to him.“I’m sorry…I was stuck in traffic.”That made him laugh,because it was an obvious lie.“My God,look at you,you’re glowing.You two are so in love.I was watching from my window…he practically walked you into the company,I thought he might just start work here because of you.”I laughed.”I’m missing him already.Tim,can I close early today?”“No.”He chuckled.“Please…”“Maliyah,look at the time…you’re very

    “You’re always in my head.”He said to me.I was going to go up in flames.“You’re in my blood.”I let out a shaky breath as he continued thrusting into me with the vibrator.“You’re in every one of my fucking veins.”Oh I needed him,I needed him right now.“Ben…Ben…wait…I need…I need your cock.”I panted,trying to control the movements of my hips to prevent myself from coming.“I want you inside of me when I come.”I murmured.He grinned at me.I gasped as the bulbous head slid from me.He knelt on the bed,positioning himself between my legs,nudging my legs wide with his powerful hair roughened thighs.I tried to catch my breath as I looked up at him,I tried to calm the thundering of my heart,the roar in my ears, but all I wanted was to feel his weight on me…in me.He was poised against me,I could feel him.One push and he’d be inside me.He leaned down over me, his legs opening me wider,his forearms resting next to my head as he looked straight down into my eyes.His jaw flexed before h

  • The Billionaire's Temporary Wife   I own you.

    *MALIYAH*I tried to ease my tensed muscles,to calm the erratic breathing,the roaring of my blood,but only managed to gasp again as he rocked back and forth once more.“It’s okay.”He groaned.”Relax”I swallowed at the blunt pressure,squeezed my eyes shut and tried to do just that.I shifted my hips a little on the bed in a futile effort to ease his way, for a better angle,to help alleviate the feeling of fullness.“Easy.”He ground out.I was holding myself taut in anticipation of his next retreat and entry.I could feel it,but my muscles wound tighter,nerves strung taut.My body just wouldn’t cooperate.It felt as if he was breaking into me all over again.He moved completely out of me and I quickly held his hand.“No…please…don’t stop.I…I just…it’s been awhile since I…”I paused,not sure if I should talk about the men I had tried to be with in London.“I don’t want to hear about your sex experience with other men.”He informed me,calmly.“Does that make you love me less?”I asked,my heart

    *BENNETT*“Kiss me,Ben…please.”She urged,pulling her face close to mine.I caressed her gently in my arms.She was warm and soft.I lowered my head and molded my lips to hers.Fuck!I ran my tongue over her lips and between them.I groaned at the shaft of heat that arrowed down right into my cock and tightened my balls.I dipped my tongue inside her mouth,once,twice, a third time before I pulled sharply back.God I had been avoiding kissing or touching her,because I knew that would wear off the tiny bit of resistant I had left.I took a deep breath in a futile effort to stem the rapid thud in my heart and fight the urge to kiss her again.But when she rubbed herself against me,I gave in again.I pressed my lips against hers.Maliyah nibbled along my bottom lip,used her tongue to taste the shape of my mouth.The soft,tentative moments caused a curl in my gut.I felt her soft breath fan out against my mouth as she pulled back and that sigh was my undoing.Before I had the time to think about

  • The Billionaire's Temporary Wife   I love this.

    *MALIYAH*It’s a Saturday morning and I awoke without Ben in bed.I knew he wasn’t going to work today.Running my hand through my hair,I walked out of the bedroom and went in search for him.I found him at the gym.I leaned against the door as I watched him do some exercises.I nibbled my lower lip watching him do some pulls up.He was bare chested and his muscles bulged with his every movement.I squeezed my thighs together feeling hot and bothered.Oh God,I wanted him to touch me so bad.I stood there,watching until he was done.When he started to gulp down a bottle of water,I finally walked in,trying to keep my hands to myself.“I might just take you by force,Mr Graham.I don’t know how long I can resist this temptation.”I said to him.I could see he was trying hard not to smile.God,how much longer was he going to make me chase him?Not that I was tired of chasing him but I wish he could just give in a bit.He clearly was still very much attracted to me and he’s equally been trying

    *MALIYAH*Things were pretty messy at the office that day.With so many calls,the news of him coming out was pretty scandalous,because it also had to do with a divorce.People were throwing shades,saying whatever they felt about the whole thing but Timothy was unbothered.I could tell he wasn’t fully unbothered though.He loved his family and it would make him happy if they accepted him.But he didn’t really care about what the public thought though.He felt people who didn’t know him personally had no right to judge him.Hell,he had even set up a date with Miles.Miles seemed to like him too but was still pretty hurt by Timothy’s rejection in high school so he was currently playing hard to get.I hope they could get back together soon.At the close of work,I walked out of the office,excited to go see Ben.I frowned seeing someone else at the receptionist stand.My mom.The receptionist had called earlier that she wanted to see me but I had specifically told her to send this woman away.

    *MALIYAH*Since he might not come down for dinner,I’ll bring it up to him.I dished out the meals and headed upstairs with the tray.Getting to his bedroom,I walked in to finding him pulling on a sweatpants.“Jesus!”He seemed,startled.”Why are you still here?”“Let’s eat together and get some sleep.”I announced,setting down the tray.When I turned to face him,he was covering his bare chest with a robe.“You could’ve at least knocked.I could’ve been naked.”He lashed out.I laughed.”So?Well now that you mentioned it,I want to see all of you…I’ve missed seeing you.”I purred and started walking up to him.He walked back.”What is wrong with you?Where the hell is Timothy?I thought I heard the sound of a car.”“He knows I belong here.”“You don’t belong anywhere near me.Get out.”“I don’t want to.”I backed him against the wall.Oh how the tables had turned.He used to be the one chasing after me.Not that I mind being in this position right now.It’s actually quite fun.“Maliyah,go home.Stop

    “I don’t care what happens to me now.I just want to be with him.”“Then don’t give up.Don’t give up on him.He needs someone.He needs love.He’s just scared to say he needs you.You have to show him that he doesn’t need to be scared,okay?”I nodded.”Thank you,Emily.I should have come see you sooner.”She hugged me,tightly.”Thanks for being alive,Maliyah.Drew will be so happy knowing you found your way back to Ben.”I sobbed into her arms.A sound came from the door and I lifted up my head to see a boy and a girl walking in,obviously returning from school.I wiped my cheeks as I stared at them.“Aiden has gotten so much bigger.”I cooed.“He’ll be thirteen in a few days.”“Mommy.”The little girl ran up to her and hugged her.“How was school,baby?”“It was fine.I learnt a poem.”“This is Ava.”Emily introduced.”I was pregnant with her when Drew…passed.”Oh.I hope Charlotte rots in hell.“Hello.”Aiden beamed at me,politely.“Aiden,this is Ben’s wife.”And then he frowned.”I thought she…”“It
