The Billionaire's Toy Tricked.
“Let us go, Mia!” Becca begged. “Let us go. We’ll tell the police you helped us. Then they can get you the help you need. Please let us go!”Mia looked at Becca and rushed over to her.“Why? So, you all can just forget me and move on? So, Lucien can cast me aside and pretend that I never existed?” she yelled.“You were the love of his life!” Audrey sobbed.Mia turned and slapped Audrey with her gun.“I AM the love of his life!” she shouted. “I taught him what happiness was! He can’t have it without me! But don’t worry! I’ll take care of it.”“Please don’t hurt him,” Audrey cried.“I would never hurt him,” Mia grabbed a rough handful of Audrey’s hair. “I’ll make sure he never forgets me. Never. I’ll stay with him forever.” She threw Audrey to the side.Audrey groaned as her head thudded against the concrete floor.Mia walked out of the room but didn’t shut the door.“Audrey?” Becca’s voice quivered.“I’m okay,” Audrey whimpered. “The door is open. Do you think we can get out of here?”
The Billionaire's Toy We found them
Yes, sir!”“Thank you all for coming,”Lucien said as he concluded the press conference. “I am giving this city my solemn vow that Reynolds Industries will continue to serve its people with the utmost veracity and transparency. I am personally dedicated to bringing this individual or group to justice. Another press conference will be held at such a time when more is uncovered. No further questions or comments at this time. Thank you all again.”Calls and cries erupted from the crowd, begging for another statement as Lucien walked away. Once he was away from prying eyes, he removed the earpiece and called the captain.“Do we have them?” Lucien asked.“There’s a problem,” Captain Whitlock answered.“What problem? Are they hurt?”“They weren’t there. The call was being fed through a burner phone. Essentially, Eugene called this phone, and someone else added you to the call. It’s sloppy, but good enough to throw off a trace.”“What does that mean? Did we fail?” His stomach fell to his feet
The Billionaire's Toy At the hospital.
“We haven’t gotten an update in a while,” Damian paced the length of the dining room. “Should we call?”“No,” Mark said. “They could be in the middle of something.”“Lucien’s press conference sure has stirred things up,” Tracy said, flipping through the channels. Every channel was replaying his announcement and subsequent aftermath. The city was in an uproar.Lucien had been right about one thing. Reynolds Industries was a household name. In some form or fashion, everyone depended on that company. “Come look.”Mark and Damian walked over. They expected for the press conference to create waves, but not of this magnitude.Tracy kept flipping through channels but stopped when she found one that wasn’t covering the conference.“We are coming to you live minutes after Lucien Reynolds shocked the city to its core. Troops of police officers were seen surrounding this building behind me, currently under construction. Slated to be a small office suite, just moments ago, an object was seen fall
The Billionaire's Toy Awake
“I’ve sent the name of the hospital to your phone, Damian,” the captain said. He was panting as though he’d been running.“What happened?” Tracy asked.“It was bad. Really bad.”“What was bad?” Damian asked.“The trace led us to a decoy spot. Lucien’s ex-wife was there. It was a trap, I think, to lure him there. She was… not okay.”“Was?” Tracy picked up on his use of past tense.“Nothing gets past you, huh? She um… confessed to being part of the kidnapping plot before she um… shot herself. In front of him.”“Fuck,” Tracy whispered.“’Fuck’ is right,” the captain lamented. “He was in a bit of shock. I wouldn’t be surprised if he somehow still thinks this is his fault somehow.”“What do you mean ‘still thinks’?”Damian asked.“The stuff she said to him… it wasn’t good. She got in his head, I think. He may seem fine. But he’s hurting. I know what he said, about her being nothing to him now. And she very may mean nothing to him… but something like that… it does things to you.”Looking at
The Billionaire's Toy One step at a time
“Unfortunately, we can’t promise that. You may be called into questioning for more specific details, to identify potential suspected accomplices, and things of that kind.”“Then, please do not contact her directly,” Lucien said. He pulled out a card from his wallet and handed it to the officers. “This will be her attorney.”“Sam Weaver?” the officers were stunned.“Yes. Miss Becca is officially under my protection and Sam Weaver is her legal counsel. After today’s interaction, any questions must be directed through her attorney.”Becca’s eyes were wide. When Lucien first offered to take care of things for her, she believed him. But it was another thing to see him in action that way. She’s never seen someone command a situation with such certainty before. No one but herself anyway. It was as though an aura emanated off of him. It was its own presence in the room with them. Occupying space. It lived and breathed. Everyone else could feel it too.Something was different about him. Lucien
The Billionaire's Toy Ever again
That’s right,” Tracy added.Becca opened her mouth to say something when a nurse walked in.“I was sent to inform you all that Miss Wilson is awake.”The heavy black clouds that hung overhead parted and gave way to the first sunshine Lucien had ever known. It seemed everyone else also felt the same as the tone in the room lightened.“Let’s go see her!” Becca called out.“Oh no, Miss Becca,” the nurse said. “You need to stay in bed.”“Listen here. I can be a great patient, or I can make your life miserable. Get me a wheelchair and take me to see my friend, now. Please,” Becca flashed a devilish smile. She looked towards Damian and winked.Damian stifled a laugh. The few minutes he’d known her were interesting. Rebecca was interesting, indeed.“There she is!” Tracy cheered. “Miss, it would do her a world of good to see that Audrey is okay.”The nurse smiled and nodded. After a few moments, she helped Becca into a wheelchair along with her IV bags, and the group walked the short distance
The Billionaire's Toy Knows what’s important
“I was rooting for you,” she smiled. He looked up at her and couldn’t help but laugh. It was a sad sound.“Thanks. I appreciate that, but I think we all knew it was a lost cause from the start. It was always going to be him.”“You know, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else,” she teased. “I said that to Audrey once about you.”Damian blushed. Audrey’s friends were so different from her. They were bold and brash. But in all the best ways. When things calmed down and they were able to restart their lives, he hoped he’d still be a part of the group.“That’s… nice of you.”“Becca likes you. She said, and I quote, ‘that man is so fine. When I’m all healed up, I’d like for him to break me again’,” she wiggled her eyebrows.“Oh my God,” Damian’s face was bright red. “You girls are too much.”“You have no idea. Listen, I know it hurts now. But it will pass, and she’ll always be your friend. And me too now. And Mark. You were there for her when I couldn’t be.”“Thanks,”
The Billionaire's Toy I miss her.
“You realize she’d going to confront you about this,” Captain Whitlock said.“No thanks to you!”“Hey! I didn’t jump back into your life of my own volition. Lucien called me, remember? He knew the consequences. It’s not like I’m that innocent either.”“You know I’m not that deep anymore.”“Oh yeah. You’re only the damn Prince of a crime Family.”“Hey! Watch it! We don’t do that anymore. We’re straight now.”“Yeah. And that is thanks to me,” the captain smirked. “Load of good it did me though. I ended up neck deep in trouble with the force.”“Lucien and I got you out of that trouble.”“Which is why I even agreed to help. But I’ve spent way too much time with you both. Unfortunately, everyone knows I’m involved with this investigation. You know that isn’t good for either of us.”Mark frowned. Part of their arrangement years ago was that they limited their contact. They had to do whatever they could to make sure no one ever found out that Mark used underground connections to have Captain

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

“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

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
