The Billionaire's Toy A new life.
“I should be happy.”He thought.‘Mia wants me back. It’s what I wanted, right? Then why I feel so… empty?’He stood there for what felt like an eternity. The divorce agreement felt like lead weight in his hand. He didn’t want this. “I wanted to try,” he said to no one.Audrey heard him on her side of the door, and did everything she could to muffle her cries.Lucien put the paperwork against the door, and signed it before he changed his mind. “Goodbye, Audrey. I’m sorry.” He pushed the signed agreement under her door and left.Audrey sank to the floor and let her heart shatter. “I wanted to try too,” she whimpered. Deep, painful sobs took hold her of her and she tried to let every ounce of her feelings for Lucien die.Lucien walked to his car, feeling disconnected from his body. Audrey’s past words swirled through his mind.*I like him. Despite everything, and I tried not to. I really tried. But I’m falling in love with him. I know right? How stupid of me. How could I let that h
The Billionaire's Toy Tracy and Patricia.
Tracy was in love with Mark, and he was in love with her. And that was the end of the story. They’d been living together for a while, and she knew she’d say yes if and when he asked her to marry him. If she had his family’s blessing for that, then great. If not, then that was great too. If anything, not getting their blessing would make it more fun. After her shower, she checked her phone. “Yup,” she said. “Five more missed calls. And, oh look. A text.” The message read:“Come to the house, or I will go to you. Take your pick.”Tracy sighed. “Fine. Be there within the hour”Sabrina messaged back.Mark did not know about these exchanges with his mother. He thought they were meeting for brunch every time Tracy went over. She would tell him one day, of course. But, not until his mother gave up.She would win this war on her own. Tracy decided she needed to look strong, and powerful. Not like the demure lady her mother-in-law wanted her to be.“I need to look like a badass bitch toda
The Billionaire's Toy Daughter-in-law
She thought as she looked upon the ruined carpet. A large stain of what looked like everything she had ever eaten in her entire life settled into it.Patricia was going to have a fit.As she felt her stomach become settled, a realization came upon her. Her and Mark hadn’t been very careful while having sex.And there was a very permanent side effect that tended to come along with that. She knew it would come sooner or later. But she hadn’t expected it would be this soon.“Oh my God!”Patricia screeched when she saw what happened. “What have you done? This is imported! Do you have any idea how expensive this is?”“I think I’m pregnant.”“This is one of a kind, irreplaceable… I’m sorry, what was that?”Patricia froze as she began to process what Tracy said.“I think I’m pregnant,”Tracy repeated.“Pregnant,”Patricia said. She clapped her hands together and squealed. “Pregnant?Are you okay?”Tracy was surprised by Patricia’s behavior. She leaned over and put her hand on Tracy’s belly.“Hell
The Billionaire's Toy Undo it
“You were awake last night?” “Not the whole time… I heard when Lucien was here. You…are leaving him. And… you are hurting.” “I’m so sorry, Daddy,” Audrey held his hands. “I know you were so excited for me when I got married. But I can’t be with him anymore. Please don’t be sad.” “I am only sad… because you are sad.” “I’ll be okay. I’ve got a new job in Lyncrest. We’re going to start over somewhere new. I’m going to take care of you, and we’ll be okay.”David pecked a small kiss on Audrey’s forehead. “Someday, I’ll…be well enough… to care for you.” “I love you, Daddy.” “Love you,Audrey.” After making some breakfast for her father, she started to pack up the apartment. She also messaged Damian to let him know that she agreed to move to Lyncrest and work in the new office. Within an hour of sending the message, Damian showed up at the apartment. “Daddy, this is Damian. He’s a friend and my new boss.” “It’s great to meet you, sir.” Damian greeted. “Thank you… for h
The Billionaire's Toy Thinking of you
“This really is too much. But thank you,” Audrey smiled and looked between them, a knowing look grew in his eyes.“We need… to unpack,”David said.“Let me help,” Damian offered. “That way, Mr. Wilson can rest. The bedrooms are furnished as well. I’ve arranged for there to be a fully electric hospital bed in your room, sir. As well as a walker and wheelchair.”“Damian!” Audrey scolded.“Okay,” he put his hands up in defense. “That was a little bit of favoritism.”“Thank you,”David said, shaking Damian’s hand. “I will… go rest.” David hobbled into this room, leaving Audrey and Damian alone in the living room. They got to work on unpacking. There weren’t many boxes as Audrey didn’t take many things from the mansion when she left. Having lived a luxurious lifestyle for a while,she did develop an enjoyment for good clothes. So, she did take some of the clothing and accessories Steve had curated her wardrobe with. As well as a few pairs of shoes. She also had a few things for her father sel
The Billionaire's Toy My choice.
“I…”“Don’t say you’re fine. You’re… not fine,”David said. His voice was firm and filled with concern.“It’s just that…” Audrey didn’t have a reason. Everything they said made sense. She’d been feeling run down and worn out but didn’t want anyone to worry about her. She thought she had been doing a god job of hiding her fatigue. Apparently not.“Mr. Wilson asked me to look for a place. It’s called The Ivy Gardens,” he handed her a brochure. She flipped through it. “It’s not far. About a half thirty minutes drive.”The facility looked gorgeous on paper. It was nestled in the countryside among rolling hills and pristine lakes. Gorgeous walking trails and generously appointed rooms were plastered all over the pamphlet.“This looks expensive.”“No, it shouldn’t be. I designed and built the facility. So, everyone from the company receives deeply discounted rates.”“Is this what you want?” Audrey asked her father.“Yes.”Audrey looked between the two of them. She did not like the idea of se
The Billionaire's Toy Living with Mia.
“Sure. But it’s one he drove you to make this decision.”“That may be true, but I’m okay with this,” Audrey said, rubbing her small baby bump. “I’m happy. I’m excited.”“Well, all I know that our babies are going to be best friends. And I can’t keep coming over here for secret playdates. I’m not saying you need to get back together with him, but I don’t think you’re doing the right thing by keeping this baby from him.”“I know people are going to disagree with me. But I know it’s what’s best for the both of us.”“I’ll support you no matter what, you know that.”“I know you will. But enough about me. Tell me about you! How does Mark feel?”“Girl, his whole family lost their damn minds. His mom had offered me like, two million dollars to leave him. I told her hell no. And then I threw up all over their living room.”“She tried to buy Mark from you?”“She’s fucking crazy, but yeah. But after she found out I was pregnant, she was singing a different song. That lady loves me. She won’t let
The Billionaire's Toy I’ll marry you.
“Hi,” he said.“How was your day?” She placed her hands on his chest and leaned against him.“Fine,” Lucien tried to move away from her, but she continued to crowd him.“I was thinking that maybe we could cook together and watch a movie tonight?”He thought of the last time he did that and couldn’t help his small smile. That was one of the greatest nights of his life. He held on to it as tight as he could.Mia misunderstood his reaction and felt encouraged by it.“And then after maybe we can have some private time. I seem to remember your rather… voracious appetite. You could never get enough of me.” she said suggestively.Lucien’s smile fell away, and he pushed Mia off him.“No thank you,” he said. “We’re not going to have that kind of relationship, Mia. I don’t know how many times I have to say that to you.”“Lucien…”Mia whined.“I’m tired.” He pushed passed her and went to his bedroom.Mia fumed in the hallway. He could keep spurning her advances, but she would keep trying. Will ha

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
