The Billionaire's Toy What’s wrong?
I wouldn’t have married her if I wasn’t in love with her!” he yelled, and pushed his way out of Mia’s arms. “There was a point in time where I was the only one that made you happy!” “Maybe that was the problem. Good night, Mia.”Lucien left her in that room, and got to his car as fast as he could. He sat in the driver’s seat. His hands gripped the wheel, and his head slumped forward. He took slow, deep breaths and compelled himself to calm down. “What a fucking mess,” he said to himself. His emotions were everywhere. He’d never confronted Mia about what happened. There didn’t seem to be any satisfaction with doing it now. The only thing that seemed to bring him any peace was that he was going home. And that someone would be there waiting for him.*************It was well past midnight when Lucien got home. Audrey laid in her bed, trying to sleep but her eyes would not close. It was clear that he was trying to sneak around so as not to announce his arrival. She felt too draine
The Billionaire's Toy You’re my wife!
He’s fine. Lucien is Lucien, you know?” Audrey played with the spoon in her teacup. The metal clinked against the ceramic cup. It rang like windchimes swinging in a summer breeze. “Listen, I know it isn’t my business, but you seem to be, I don’t know, sad. You should be an excited newlywed or something, but you aren’t. You’ve been sullen and upset ever since he announced your engagement. And it gotten worse after you got married. Is everything okay?” “It’s sweet of you to be concerned,” Audrey answered, still playing with her spoon and cup. “But everything is fine. We’re fine.” Her tone was final, and Damian knew not to press the matter further. “I know you have a driver, but I’d like to take you home. May I?”Audrey smiled at his sweetness. “That would be nice. Let me let Brad know.” Audrey called Brad and let him know that she had alternative transportation to go home. He wished her a good night and took off for the evening. On the drive towards her home, Audrey and Dami
The Billionaire's Toy Sick and fragile.
Audrey nodded and they rushed out of the apartment. The silence between them was severe. The intensity of their argument still hung between them, but there were more pressing matters. When they arrived at the hospital, they were escorted by a nurse to his room. “He’s fragile right now,” she informed them. “Normally, I wouldn’t let anyone in to see a patient in such delicate condition, but he insisted that I let his son and daughter-in-law in to see him as soon as they arrived. Please, it’s this way.” She led them into his room and left to give them privacy.Lucien collapsed to his knees at Gary’s bedside and took one of his hands. Audrey stood on the other side of the bed. As close to Gary as she could be while still being as far from Lucien as possible. “Dad,” Lucien’s voice wavered. “What happened?” “Such a fuss,”Gary’s voice was weak.”I’m sick, Lucien.And I think I need to accept my fate now.” “Don’t talk like that,” Lucien said. “You’ll be better soon, and then we can
The Billionaire's Toy Don’t leave me
“Dad, I spoke with the doctor.He said that your heart condition has gotten really bad. Why didn’t you say anything?” Lucien went from an enraged, wounded man to a scared, and caring son.Lucien hated to show any weakness, but Audrey knew there was one weakness he could never hide. And it was how much he loved his father. “What good would that have done?” “I could have taken care of you.” “I know you would have. But you were getting married, and then you were dealing with that emergency in Italy. No, my boy. You have priorities.” Before Lucien could protest, someone walked in. Audrey recognized him. Lucien noticed that someone had caught Audrey’s attention, and followed her eye line. “First your wife,now you, It’s as if you two came here to bid my dad farewell.He’s not dying.” Julius ignored his outburst. “Gary,” he gestured at Gary. “You look better.” “I feel better,”Gary answered. “I can take care of my father very well.You two don’t need to be here.” “I asked t
The Billionaire's Toy Grief
“Promise me,Lucien. I need to know that you’ll be okay.” “I promise.”Gary passed away that night.He died peacefully in his sleep with his loving son by his side.Audrey left the room to give Lucien privacy, but she could hear his silent sobs through the door as he grieved.Gary had been everything to him.And now he had to navigate the world alone. The hospital came to take Gary away, and Audrey peaked in the room.Lucien hadn’t moved from his spot. “Lucien,” Audrey called gently. “I don’t know if I want you to stay or go,” he answered. “I can wait out here until you’re ready to go.” “He made me promise I’d be okay. Why would he want me to lie to him like that?” Lucien looked away from her. He couldn’t stand for her to see him like that, but he wasn’t in his rational mind. He had never known sadness like this. He was sad when he lost his mother, but he was young.His father raised him, and was the only constant he ever had. “He wasn’t supposed to leave me,” Lucien’s voice
The Billionaire's Toy His safe place.
There was nothing Audrey could do for him. He refused to cry anymore, or talk about it. He was drowning in his grief and she couldn’t help. All she could do was to be present for him. “Thank you for coming,” Lucien said to another guest without looking up. “Lucien.”Audrey placed her hand on his chest. She could feel his heart hammering away, but his face gave nothing away. “That was the last guest. We have to go inside.” “Right,” he answered. There was no strength in his voice. Lucien didn’t move.Audrey took his hand and led him inside. Paparazzi snapped photos of them as they walked towards the front. Audrey hated that they were there. They were nothing but predatory, opportunistic buzzards that thrived off of people’s private suffering. But she knew she couldn’t do anything about them. She wouldn’t cause a scene at Gary’s funeral.Lucien and Audrey took their place and the service began. People around them cried. Some reached over to them, lamenting about Gary’s loss.Audre
The Billionaire's Toy Come home.
Audrey opened her social media and the first article she saw was;“Lucien Reynolds seen after his father’s funeral with mystery woman.” “No,” Audrey whispered. “He wouldn’t.” “Oh, he would. And he did! Recognize the bitch in that picture? Take a good look.” Audrey looked at the photo and felt all of her blood drain from her face. It was Mia.Of course. Of course, he was with Mia. He told her he needed to be alone. But it was so he could be with Mia. Why did she let this continue to happen to her? “Audrey, you just say the word and I will end him,”Tracy continued. “Girl, I swear to God, I will end him so hard that no one will even know he existed.” “I may take you up on that. Let me call you back.” “I’ll be here,” Tracy promised and hung up.Audrey sank into the couch and let her head fall into her hands. She grabbed one of the cushions and screamed into it. “I am such an idiot!” she yelled into it. Rage, betrayal, and jealousy churned within the pit of her stomach making
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 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
