The Billionaire's Toy This is war.
The next week was tense. Lucien eventually came back, but didn’t speak to her. Things did not go the way either of them wanted after Gary’s funeral. And he would hate to see them this way now.Lucien launched himself into work. He was now the CEO of Reynolds Industries and so he was busy restructuring the company.Audrey busied herself with a job search and caring for her father. They did everything they could to avoid each other. Anything was better than confronting their real feelings. The atmosphere was cold, and distant between them. Neither of them wanted to be the first one to break. Towards the end of the week, the design contest results were posted on the competition’s website. With everything that had been happening, she forgot all about it. To her surprise, she passed.“Dear Mrs Reynolds, on behalf of the International Association of Architecture, we would like to formally congratulate you. You have placed third in this year’s Design Conference Competition. Your passion an
The Billionaire's Toy Wrapped around a woman.
Damian and Audrey went to a different restaurant. Audrey was embarrassed by what Damian had witnessed.She and Lucien were married for such a short time. They should be in love, but now Damian saw for himself. “I’m sorry you had to see that,” she said after they were seated. “I owe you an explanation. Lucien and I are married, but it’s complicated. Mia is like, the love of his life. She left him a while back, but now she wants him again. So, of course he is falling all over himself for her. I can’t tell you much more than that, but I can tell you that we aren’t in love. But we also aren’t in an open relationship either. It’s… convoluted,” she finished, looking down from him. “That’s a lot,” Damian said. “We don’t have to talk about that. Just know that I’m here for you.” “Thank you. I appreciate that. Honestly, I don’t know why you continued to put up with me.”“Audrey, please. You are more than your problems. And don’t worry. We really don’t have to talk about anything that mak
The Billionaire's Toy A gift for you.
A response came quickly.“We need to talk. Meet me on Saturday. The Hotel Belmont, Room 719. 3pm.“ “No.”Audrey typed back.Mia was crazy if she thinks she would go see her. “You better come. It’s about Lucien and his family” Audrey didn’t reply.‘This is stupid.’she thought.Mia was not in her corner and nothing good could possibly come from meeting up with her. But her curiosity was getting the better of her.Nobody knew about Lucien and his family better than Mia.And she really wanted to know why he wasn’t in good terms with his aunt. “Fuck,” she groaned. “Why is this my life?” Whenever she let herself believe things might work out between them, she’d get another sign. “Listen to the universe, Audrey,” she said to herself. “It’s obviously trying to talk to you.” The water stopped running. Audrey closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She felt Lucien get into bed. “Audrey?” he called softly. She didn’t answer. She was feeling warm and fuzzy after her shower, but no
The Billionaire's Toy So romantic.
The room was bathed in a fresh, floral scent, and sensual golden glow. A small table in the center of the room held a glass of wine and two crystal glasses.Audrey walked in, and looked around. It was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen. But she was so confused. “There’s no way this is for me,” she said aloud without realizing. “It is,” Lucien said, hugging her from behind. “Why?” “For a lot of reasons,” His voice was soft, but commanding. “This is so romantic,” she whispered. “I’ve not been fair to you,” he said. “I’ve been trying to explain, but I know things wouldn’t have gotten so bad if I had just spoken up in the first place.” He turned her around so she could face him. “I need you to know that I didn’t arrange to meet with Mia after the funeral. I did go somewhere to be alone. I wasn’t thinking and went somewhere she knew about. She came to find me, and comforted me. I won’t lie to you, it was nice, but I was thinking about you the whole time. And that day at
The Billionaire's Toy Best day of her life.
“I’ll fucking pay for it,” Lucien grunted as he set her on top of the table. He held one of her legs in the air, and drilled into her.Audrey screamed his name as she came, but Lucien wasn’t stopping. “Lucien, I can’t,”Audrey moaned. “You can.”he snarled at her.Audrey came again and again as Lucien took her on just about every available surface in the hotel room. They came together one last time, and they collapsed into the bed. “Holy shit,”Audrey panted. “What was that?” “That,”Lucien tried to catch his breath. “is what I’ve been wanting to do ever since I got back from Italy.” “I’m not good at enforcing my own rules.” “Shut up,” He teased and kissed Audrey. It was a softer, more tender kiss. They had never kissed like that before.“There’s somewhere else I’d like to bring you to.” “Lucien, I don’t think I can walk,”Audrey laughed. “I think you broke me.” “Hmmm,” Lucien smirked. “I’ll do it again, too. I’m serious. It’s somewhere important.”Audrey smiled at this p
The Billionaire's Toy Pretty happy.
‘If you love him at all, you’ll come.’ The message flashed in Audrey’s mind over and over. It was easy to love him when he was like this. When he was sweet and sexy, it was impossible to resist him. When he was kind and vulnerable, it made her heart ache. She did love him despite every alarm bell going off in her mind telling her not to. Battles between the heart and the mind were seldom won by logic. Lucien’s eyes fluttered open and he caught her staring at him. A slow, lazy smile spread across his face. “Good morning,” his voice was low and gravelly with fresh sleep. “Hmmm, morning voice,”Audrey cooed, tracing circles across his bare back.Lucien smirked. “We’ve never done this before, have we?” “If by this, you mean wake up next to each other or go more than 20 minutes without fighting, then yes. We’ve never done this before.” “Who do you think will ruin it first?” Lucien asked, propping himself up on an elbow. “If we review the records, it’ll probably be you,” Audrey

Mia narrowed her eyes at Audrey. “You little—” a knock at the door startled them.Mia smiled. “I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this, but you leave me no choice.”Mia stood up and walked over towards the door. There was a large crystal vase on a small table filled with beautiful flowers. She picked it and smashed herself over the head with it. “Oh my God!” Audrey shouted. “What are you doing?” “Help!” Mia screamed. Blood ran down her face from cuts in her head. “Audrey, please stop!” “You’re fucking insane!”The knocking at the door became incessant, and frantic. Mia slammed herself against the wall, hard. More blood. “Please don’t hurt me,Audrey! We’re just childhood friends! Don’t be like this!” She staggered towards the door, and opened it.Lucien was at the door, horrified at the scene before him.Audrey was in full shock. “What the hell is going on here?” He shouted, catching Mia as she fell towards him. “Lucien,I’m sorry. I can’t see you anymore. Audrey, she…”A
The Billionaire's Toy Homewrecker
This was unbelievable. Not that long ago, they were in a reverse situation where Lucien was the one trying to explain and she wouldn’t let him. Being on the other side of it was frustrating. She couldn’t understand why Lucien didn’t want to hear her side of things. When she shut him out, it only made things worse. So, why was he doing the same thing when he knew how bad it got before? “Ugh!” Audrey yelled to no one. Her hands flew into her hair, and she pulled at it in anger. “This is insane! We’ll never get out this damn cycle!” She threw on some clothes and huffed out the house. When she arrived to the hospital, she was surprised to find Mia alone in the room. “Where is he?” Audrey asked in lieu of a greeting. “How funny,” Mia sneered. “Your husband had chosen to spend all of his free time with me.” “He made it seem like you weren’t doing well. Where is he?” “A few well timed tears and whimpers can do wonders to convince someone.” “Where. Is. He?” Audrey asked through

The Billionaire's Toy FINAL CHAPTER.
NEARLY TEN YEARS LATER….Lucien came to a halt in front of a school,he sometimes come to get the kids from school,sometimes Audrey does that or their driver.He got down from his car and saw them approaching,all three of them.Louis ran up to him excitedly.Lucien caught him and carried him on his arms.“How was school today?”Lucien asked.“It was fine.”His eldest child,Bella replied with a broad smile.He gave Braylon,his second child who was seven years old a fist bump as they got into the car.***********Lucien hurried around the kitchen,Audrey was busy with work today so he had wanted to take care of the children,feed them and put them to sleep before she comes back home so that when she gets back,she can have a good rest…well a good rest after they finish making love.He was preparing pasta for the kids and he knew he had to make it perfect,otherwise,Braylon would complain and tease him for days.Audrey has been busy these past couple of days but she promised to make it up to him
The Billionaire's Toy Determination.
“What does that even mean?”“He had a strange obsession with Lucien. Everything Lucien did, he wanted to do. Everything Lucien had, he wanted to have. There was one year that he intentionally matched everything Lucien wore. He used to tell everyone that they had the same middle name. He even started talking to another girl in our class named Mia just because that was Lucien’s girlfriend’s name. I never liked him.”“Lucien never noticed this?”Mark let out a long, heavy sigh.“What you need to understand about Lucien, especially at that age, is that he was hungry for validation. Starving for it. If anything, all that strange attention made him feel important. To be perfectly honest, there may even be a good chance he didn’t even notice it. He was so wrapped up in Mia… his world didn’t have capacity for anything else.”Audrey felt small for a moment.“He really loved her, didn’t he?”Mark glanced at her for a moment and noted the sadness in her eyes.“He thinks he did. That wasn’t love,
The Billionaire's Toy Jailed again.
“We saw that sexy ass car out here, and Nathan got the keys to go move it,” another young officer explained with tears in eyes and panic in his voice. “We all wanted… we all wanted to see. But when he turned the key… when he turned the key…” the young man sobbed. “Some people were too close and got caught in the explosion.”Captain Whitlock looked over at Lucien.“I think you were already bait and didn’t even know.”It was as though he was moving through sand. Nothing registered. Nothing clicked. Not the unnatural metal of the handcuffs as they tightened around his wrists. Not the officers’ angry voices as the read him his rights, or the rough hands that pushed and shoved him into a cell. Not when those cell doors slid home with a loud, echoing clang. Captain Whitlock tried to stop the way they were mishandling him. But they had lost one of their own. A young man who was vibrant and full of life, at the beginning of his career.Another one. Because of me?“I get one phone call. I need
The Billionaire's Toy The explosion.
Lucien’s eyes flashed up at the captain, filled with anger and anguish.“She contacted me while I was in Italy,” he almost snarled.“After you and Audrey had just been married?” Captain Whitlock raised an eyebrow.“Don’t judge me. There were… circumstances about that marriage. Either way, I didn’t want to see her. But she said that she needed someone to keep her from… Hurting herself.”The irony. She had run to him once to prevent that. But in the end, she had forced him to witness it. His eyes were dark and stony as he fought to keep his emotions in check. Part of him wanted to give in. To breakdown and just give in to himself. Anything to make these feelings go away forever.Captain Whitlock softened as he realized what was going on in Lucien’s mind.“Sorry. Why was she seeking such an intense escape?”“She was running from him. She said their marriage was in shambles and that things had gone horribly wrong, that he was cheating on her.”“That was it? He wasn’t hurting her?”“She sa
The Billionaire's Toy We were friends
“Philip Carson”The name hung in the air between them, like a two-ton brick. After all this time, Ghost had a name. Now the hunter, could become the hunted.“Holy shit,” the captain fell back into his chair. All the air left his lungs. “That punk? That punk is Ghost?”“You know him?” Lucien’s eyes almost fell from his head.“I had him. Right here in this office years ago,” Captain Whitlock seethed. “Right there!” he shouted and kicked his chair across the room. “Ghost was right there!”“What the hell for?”“That piece of shit kid was always getting into trouble. Vandalism, petty theft, property theft, arson… all kinds of stuff. Typical spoiled rich boy shit. No offense. I always knew that kid was disturbed. He had no remorse for anything. The only thing he ever regretted was getting caught”“This was before he became Ghost obviously.”“Well, yes. But do you know that this means?”“What?”“It’s insanity. It’s the most oversimplification of anything that has ever happened.”“What?” Luci
The Billionaire's Toy Philip Carson.
He began spending most of his time at the building. “Command” they’d been calling it. Eugene and Mia couldn’t be trusted. The first prisoner,Racheal…Rebecca … whatever her name was, was being beaten even though he had given explicit instructions that she was not to be touched. And Mia could not at all be trusted with the other one. God, what was that one’s name? Ava? Avery? It was something with an “A”he was certain. Either way, it didn’t matter. They had to keep them both alive and the two overly emotional idiots he was working with were going to mess it up.Lucien was supposed to do a press conference and announce that he was relinquishing the company over to his cousin. The press conference was Eugene’s idea. He wanted a public take down and humiliation of his cousin. He was all for anything that made Lucien suffer. This plan wasn’t going to work. But he was interested to see how it would unfold.They planned to watch the press conference together. After it, his plan was to slink
The Billionaire's Toy A better way.
His life had become a tunnel and the only light at the end of it was the demise of Lucien. It was the driving force in his soul. It was the pulsing his blood. His first meeting with Eugene set his plan back into motion. There was no improvising. Without even realizing, Lucien had been slipping through his fingers like fine sand. Always just beyond his reach. But this time he would get inside of Lucien’s world and destroy him from within.He kept a close watch on Lucien’s personal life. It seemed Mia had run back to marry him as he had anticipated. What he didn’t anticipate was the wrath it fueled in him. It was interesting. It had been so long since he felt any real emotion that it caught him off guard. Ever since he’d killed his father, it was as though he’d murdered his own feelings as well. Other than hate, nothing else lived within him. He often wondered why he even continued to do anything. He did have to admit that he was chasing the thrill of that first kill. Nothing ever seeme
The Billionaire's Toy Closer to Lucien.
“I told you not to get involved with her. Her father is my rival, and he has been encroaching on our territory. This,” he indicated the dead woman. “is a message.”“I loved her!” he screamed back, cradling her corpse in his arms.“You loved the other one too.”“This was different,” he cried. “She was pregnant! You killed my woman and my baby! We were going to tell you tomorrow night at dinner!”“Then I did you a favor. Children are a weakness, and you aren’t strong enough yet.”“Not strong enough?” he saw red. The vestiges of whatever humanity he had left dissipated. All that was left behind was anger and a thirst for vengeance. All the warmth left his soul. There was nothing left now. Nothing except an abyss with no end. He leveled his own gun at his father. “No one is stronger than me.”“Son, be careful.” His father’s eyes went wide. He dropped his gun and threw up his hands. He walked backwards slowly, like an animal being cornered by a predator. “You’re overly emotional right now.
The Billionaire's Toy No emotion.
Once she made the mistake of asking him what he and his father did. He brandished a gun and held it to her chest. To her immense relief, it wasn’t loaded. But she found that out only after he fired it. Bone aching terror was all she knew. Whatever life she had was almost gone. The only thing that was left was the memory of Lucien.Being with him was the last time she felt happy and safe. She clung onto the memories, and they were the only things keeping her afloat. Life was a nightmare and she just wanted to sleep.He knew he should have been treating her better. He knew that, but he just couldn’t seem to care. They were in love once. Or perhaps they just thought they were. The truth was that he was an escape to her. An escape from a life she thought she didn’t want. It was obvious that she wanted out. But his one issue was who she wanted to run to. He’d let her go if he knew that she wasn’t going back to him, back to Lucien.He refused to lose to him. So, as long as he knew she would r
