The Billionaire's Wife

Dimitri Stefanovich Kaverin sat on a stool facing his best friend slash co-worker, Tyler Moore, in a cheap bar drinking cheap beer and ranting on and on and on about how his mother was blackmailing him into marrying someone soon.From what Tyler had gathered from his best friend's angry rant was that Valéry, Dimitri's mother, a women he knew better than to mess with, was hounding him to marry someone for at least two months now.Though Dmitri, being the stubborn brat that he was, had paid no heed to his mother's requests and had continued to go about his life as he usually did.After two months of listening to his pathetic excuses for not wanting to marry, Valéry thought that she'd had enough. So the fiery red head went ahead and gave him an ultimatum.The ultimatum was that if Dmitri didn't marry a girl within the next two months, she would give the whole company away to charity- charity!- a

"I want you to marry me."It wasn't a question, it wasn't a request, it was an order. But there was just something about the way Dimitri said it that didn't make it look like he was demanding something from her, but then again, it wasn't as if he had asked her if she wanted to marry him. Trinity couldn't quite decide how to react to it. It wasn't everyday that people, strangers, come to her and tell her that they want to marry her and hot as hell strangers none the less.She regarded him thoughtfully for a moment. The first thought that crossed her mind was that he was joking but the look on his face said that he was very much serious about it. Dimitri stared back at her as she looked at him and he'd be lying if he said that he wasn't feeling nervous. God, Dimitri Kaverin was nervous! He had never in his life been nervous about anything, not even when he was

"Holy sh- Are you crazy woman?! How can you do this? How could you agree to something like that?! You hardly know the guy and you went ahead and agreed to friggin' marrying him?!" Casey exclaimed once Trinity had finished explaining all that had happened between her and Dimitri. Though she was glad that Casey wasn't drinking the coffee which was kept on the table between them, for she was sure it would've come spurting out of her mouth had she taken a sip."Last time I checked, I was completely normal and I don't think it's possible for someone to go crazy overnight, unless, of course, they have suffered from a head injury and from what I remember, I haven't," Trinity replied half amused and half worried that her friend's head was going to explode if she kept on going about it like this."Stop being a smart- ass Tri! Do you even realize what you have agreed to? He is a billionaire! A damn billionaire! He could have any girl he damn well pleased but

"Are you really going to go and see him wearing that?" Casey asked, staring at her best friend as if she had gone crazy."What's wrong with this?" Trinity frowned, looking down at her all time favorite navy blue tank top and dark wash jeans. "Tri, you're going to see a damn billionaire! You can't go out with him wearing something as simple as that." Casey said, exasperated. How Trinity could do something as crazy as that was beyond her. From what she knew, Dimitri had called her last night and told Trinity that he'd be coming to pick her up this afternoon and they were going to go for a 'lunch date' and 'talk'.Any other girl would have started picking out what clothes to wear and what shoes would match them the moment she had finished talking had a billionaire asked them out but not Trinity. No, the girl was going about her business as usual making batch after batch of cookies to take with her when she went to see the girls a

"Tri, you came!" Cindy exclaimed as she watched Trinity place a basket at the center of the coffee table. Running towards her at breakneck speed, she wrapped her tiny arms around Trinity's legs.Laughing, Trinity picked up the little girl who looked adorable dressed in a light pink frock. "Of course I came." She replied and Dmitri watched in a trance like state as more children came rushing into the living room, all eager to get a hug from her.He couldn't help but grin as he watched Trinity twirl a girl around, making her giggle. There were almost more than half a dozen of them. Nine, he counted.Not long after, a slightly plump looking woman entered the room, her eyes lighting up as she saw Trinity."Trinity darling! It's so good to see you." She exclaimed, moving in for a hug."Hey, how's it going?" She grinned down at the old woman."All's well. Just that the donations haven't been much th
