“Abigail!” I heard an annoying voice yell, making me frown as I stirred in my sleep, not bothering to wake up. “Abby!”

I groaned and put my pillow around my ears to block out the voice.

That seemed to be futile because the next minute, a figure was jumping on me. “What the hell, Maya?” I sighed, my eyes fluttering open. “It’s the weekend. Why won’t you let me sleep?”

“Because you’re scaring me. You’ve been asleep for fifteen hours and you’re not showing any signs of waking up.”

“Just let me sleep some more.”

“No.” She ripped the covers from me. “Do you realize you’re still in your work clothes? You came back by seven, didn’t bother to have dinner, and crashed on the couch. It’s past ten in the morning. Wake up and eat. I made breakfast.”

“Leave me alone, Maya. I’ll eat later.”

I wasn’t surprised that I had slept for fifteen hours and wanted to sleep some more. I wanted twenty-four hours of sleep. When George told me I was going to be busy for the next month, I didn’

    Abigail Hayes~•~George’s surprise gift gave me an idea of what I was to expect. I knew it was fancy but I didn’t know it was dinner-gown fancy. I expected everyone to be at their best and dress eloquently. I just didn’t see myself wearing a dress for fucking lunch.“Have fun!” Maya bade me farewell as I opened the door to leave.I snorted. “I wish.” There was nothing fun about sitting around over privileged white folks. I doubted anything good came out of it as well.The drive to the location took longer than expected. But then again, it was New York and the traffic always surprised me. The luncheon was being held at a luxurious hotel which was owned by one of George’s friends, which had made it easy to secure the location.By the time I arrived, it was a few minutes past twelve and even if everything had already been arranged, there were still a lot of employees running around like headless chickens.“Sorry, I’m late.” I breathed out as I approached Zara.She turned around at the s

    Abigail Hayes~•~I went downstairs late.It wasn’t like I decided to take a nap or spent too much time on my makeup. I deliberately went late.I’d like to think I knew George a bit and I knew he was going to make me sit with him if I attended early. I wanted him to be seated already before I got there, which was why I took the elevator thirty minutes past three.George was obsessed with being early which meant the event was going to start as planned no matter what. I also knew that by the time I got down, the introductory part, aka, the boring part, would be done with. They’d move on to lunch before they properly started the fundraising.True to my words, by the time I got to the hall, it was buzzing with people. Some of them were seated while others were standing and conversing. It wasn’t a very big party but it was quite scary because everyone present was influential in one way or the other. My black dress clung to me like second skin and I was beginning to regret wearing it. For

    Abigail Hayes~•~I told myself I was only going to pick up the clothes I left in the hotel room after the event finally finished by seven o’clock, but after I packed up my clothes into one bag, I found myself sitting on the bed, waiting.I lied to myself that I was merely taking advantage of the fact that I was in such a luxurious room, but I knew as much as I hated to admit it that I was waiting because I was told to.After waiting for a few minutes, I got uncomfortable still wearing the tight dress so I decided to change out of it after taking a shower. After all, it would be a shame not to use the bathroom that was equally as luxurious.Immediately after my shower, I heard the doorbell ring. It had me frowning. From what I knew, George had a keycard and if he wanted to, he would come in by himself. Did Zara need something?Quickly putting on my robe, I rushed out of the bathroom to open the door, forgetting to check who was on the other side. As soon as I did so, I was pushed insi

    Abigail Hayes~•~I knew I was weak for George Galanti despite always telling myself the opposite.Whenever he truly wanted me, he always got me. Even if it was my idea for us to have sex regularly, I merely realized we always did it on his terms. He booked a hotel without my permission and the next thing, I was falling into bed with him.I didn’t know what that said about me and honestly, I didn’t really care. All I was focused on was the fact that his face was currently in between my legs, eating me out like I was his last fucking meal.My hands found George’s hair but he pulled away immediately. “Keep your hands above your head.” He ordered. “If you move them, I’ll leave.”I pouted. “I can’t possibly keep my hands there.” I wanted to listen to him but it was way too easy to get lost in my pleasure and forget what he told me to do.“Should I tie them?”I felt my push throb at the question and I blushed because he could feel it. “Yes sir.”“Fuck.” I heard him mutter before he pulled

    George Galanti~•~I must have said before that I didn’t usually like cuddling but I was beginning to think I had an exception for the woman currently in my arms. She was already making me break some rules. What were a few more?I had woken up a long time ago and my natural instinct had been to get to work but I couldn’t bring myself to stand up from the bed and disengage my body from hers.When she began to wake up, I was disappointed because it meant she’d be standing up soon, but I didn’t dare move. I didn’t want to alert her that I was awake and then speed up her process of leaving the hotel room.Abigail yawned as her eyes fluttered open. She closed them again for a while before she started wiggling around, trying to feel movements in her limbs. Suddenly, she paused and her eyes snapped open to look at me.I held back a smile. She was pretty cute. “Good morning.”“Have you been watching me like a creep?”I rolled my eyes and leaned down to kiss her but she placed her hand in betw

    Abigail Hayes~•~“What do you mean you won’t be home for Christmas?” Olivia yelled out and I glared at her, shushing her.“Keep your voice down.” I hissed out, not wanting our mom to hear. She would make a big deal out of it. If she knew about it before I left for Miami, she would find George’s number and personally talk to him.I didn’t hate the idea of not being home for Christmas because the idea of traveling excited me even more. I’d booked our flights already and we were going to be leaving in five days. Our accommodation was already taken care of and we were going to be staying in one of the most luxurious hotels. He’d made me book suites instead of regular rooms and I was very excited.Aside from the fact that we were going to work, I knew I’d get some time to explore since we would be staying for two weeks. We couldn’t be working every minute of the day. It might be unprofessional but I also planned to visit the bars just to see the difference between the ones in Miami and Ne

  • The Billionaire’s not so Secret Mistress   28. A trip with George

    Abigail Hayes~•~Flying was my new favorite thing.Well, we hadn’t taken off yet but I was simply in love with the first-class seats George had made me book. It was even more luxurious than it looked in pictures. On this part of the plane, each compartment had two seats and was very private.George and I were already seated and I couldn’t stop looking around. “Have you traveled before?”“Not much and I’ve definitely not flown first class.” We were so different. While I was in awe, he was something he was used to and I was certain he had never flown anything less than first class. I was even surprised he didn’t have a private jet or something.George chuckled, but it didn’t last long. “So what’s the itinerary for the trip?”I looked over at him with a frown. “You haven’t told me. You said we were taking a rest for the first two days so I don’t need to worry about that.”“Oh.” He nodded. “Well, call Mr. Harper and check when will be the best time to meet with him for the meeting.” It

    George Galanti ~•~I had my suspicions for a while but now, I was certain that Abby wanted more from me; something I couldn’t give her.The smart decision was to end things as they were, but I was selfish and she was a coward. I’d told her I didn’t own her, but I truthfully couldn’t see myself being with her with the knowledge that other men were also allowed to touch her as I did.We fucked raw for fuck’s sake. Didn’t that automatically translate to exclusivity? I didn’t have the time to even meet other women. Hell, I wasn’t interested in other women, but she didn’t need to know that.She also didn’t need to know that before leaving for this trip, I told Christine it was time for a divorce. I didn’t know why she was reluctant about signing the papers, but she was and I was glad that I’d planned this trip and would be away from her for a while. We could talk about it when I was back.Since Abigail asked the question about being allowed to see other people, she hadn’t spoken a word. S

    George Galanti~•~I never thought there’d be a time when I would hate working, but I hated it a lot recently because it kept me away from my wife. She was so close yet so far away. It was distracting.I straightened up when the door to my office suddenly opened. “Mr. Galanti, what can I do for you this time?”I held back a laugh. This was the seventh time I was calling her into my office and it was only ten in the morning. “I don’t know, Mrs. Galanti. What can you do for me?”Abigail shot me an irritated look. “I’m beginning to regret working for you again.”“It’s been two months since you resumed. You should be used to it by now.”After months of pleading with her, Abigail finally agreed to be my secretary again, but it was part-time this time around. She usually clocked off by one so she could attend her baking classes.I was happy she was finally doing what she wanted but baking classes introduced her to more people. She had more friends and less time for me because she had to han

  • The Billionaire’s not so Secret Mistress   FINAL CHAPTER

    Abigail Hayes~•~A few weeks later, there was news that Micheal Rivera was being held in prison while being investigated because he had done much more than kill my father and strip people of their businesses.In his lifetime, he had changed his last name about six times, the first one being as soon as he turned eighteen. I didn’t know what kind of sad life he had that he had to change his name as soon as possible and I didn’t care to know his story.Whatever was wrong with his childhood didn’t give him the right to kill my father. I was more than happy when George forwarded the news to me and I forwarded it to my mother who called me to express her happiness and gratitude.Music was blasting from the speakers and I was doing a little dance while I played around with flour. I was getting better at making pastries. I could make a doughnut now but I was still experimenting with the toppings.I was so in my head that I didn’t hear it when the front door opened nor did I hear footsteps un

    Abigail Hayes~•~I had said this a hundred times but I was going to keep repeating it.George was a stubborn man.I had told him not to worry about my family because I was going to take care of them by myself but he insisted on searching for a new house with a better security and smoke system. He could have just made one for the current house but according to him, part of it was gone and could fall anytime. I agreed with him on that.He told me that if I didn’t agree, he was going to find one behind my back, so I had no choice but to go house hunting with him.My mom was going to be mad, but I was going to emotionally blackmail her into accepting it. I would only be assured after they had settled down in a safe environment.“What are you going to do about him?” I questioned as we drove to our next destination.He knew exactly who I was talking about. I didn’t even have to call a name. “He’s in the midst of a name change again.”“How do you know that?”“I have eyes on him.” George shr

    George Galanti~•~“Including fuck me in your parents’ house?” Abigail asked with a sly smile when she broke away for breath.“What?”“You said you’d do anything for me.”“Your mother is under this roof.” I reminded her.She nodded. “I know.”“So is your sister.”“Mm-hmm.”“And your best friend.” She still wasn’t deterred. “Your parents-in-law.”“I’ll be quiet:”I chuckled when I realized I wasn’t going to be able to talk her out of it. The tub was big enough to accommodate four people so we could do whatever we wanted. She leaned toward me again, placing both of her legs on both sides of mine so she could sit on my lap.Both of us were already naked and in the water. “The walls are quite thick but you’ll have to be quiet anyway,” I informed her.She loved to act like I had a high sex drive that she couldn’t keep up with but she was even worse than me. If I wasn’t so in love with her that I was almost obsessed with her body, I didn’t think I would have been able to keep up with her.W

    Abigail Hayes~•~George’s mother was absolutely surprised when she saw all six of us pull up to her house. George assured her we’d be done by tomorrow; not all of us though, everyone except Olivia and my mom.My mom said they would also leave the next day and find a hotel to stay at until they figured something out. Maya then said her offer was still available, which led to another round of arguments. However, George’s mother was welcoming enough that she insisted they both stay there for the meantime.His father was also accommodating. He figured they could use this as a chance for both families to bond.I didn’t mind, but I thought they’d be inconveniencing them. George thought otherwise.Dinner was rowdy and everyone was talking at once. Olivia recounted the story about how she perceived the smell of the fire and was confused for a second. She thought her senses were playing tricks on her but as soon as she told our mom, mom told her to take her valuables outside and call the fire

    George Galanti~•~All of us had to leave because we were all worried. We hadn’t even touched our food but we didn’t have time to pack them home so Charles just paid the bill and we were on our way to Abigail’s childhood home.She was worried as fuck and even if she knew her mother and sister were safe, she was still close to crying. I didn’t blame her. I would lose my shit if I found out my parents were in danger.Charles drove as fast as the speed limit would allow and it seemed like it was high enough because it didn’t take too long before we arrived at the place.The car hadn’t even properly come to a stop before Abigail was running out of it. I was worried she’d fall but even with the heels, she landed safely.Maya and I exited the car and allowed Charles to find somewhere to park. There was a fire truck in front of the house but no ambulance and I was happy about that.By the time I reached the front of the house, Abigail was in a deep embrace with her mother and sister. She was

    George Galanti~•~Charles was a nervous wreck.It was amusing to watch.We were on our way to pick up Maya and Charles was the one driving, hoping he would impress her with his car. Abigail and I sat in the backseat.I suggested we take our own car but Abigail said it was more fun this way. I had no choice but to agree. The only reason I was even going on this double date was because Charles begged me. He didn’t want to be with her alone for fear that he would say something wrong and if he didn’t have anything to say, he hoped Abigail would keep her company.Little pussy.“Will it be too much if I open the door for her?” Charles asked from the driver's seat.Who overthought opening the car door for a lady? It was a simple gesture and basic courtesy. Why would he think it was too much? I wanted to respond to him, but luckily for him, Abigail did instead because I would have ended up insulting him. “She’d like it if you opened the door for her.”He looked at her through the rearview mi

    Abigail Hayes~•~“You came back earlier than expected.” I heard George speak as soon as I opened the door. “The triplets had something else to do so they left early. It was just me and Maya left so we didn’t spend much time at the bar.”“Hmm.” He eyed me warily. “Are you drunk?”I shook my head, smiling. “Not at all.” He walked up to me and took the bags from my hand. “Why didn’t you call me to come help you downstairs?”“I’m here, aren’t I?” I chuckled before properly looking at him. He was still dressed in his work attire. “Are you just coming back from work?”He nodded, leaning down to kiss me shortly. “There was no use coming back when you wouldn’t be home.” I shook my head and followed him as he carried the shopping bags to our room. “Can I see them?”George was an adorable husband. I nodded. “The pink bag is for Olivia,” I informed him as I took it from the bed and carried it into the closet. There, I stripped off my clothes and put them in the hamper before taking one of Geo

    Abigail Hayes ~•~When we got into the store, we made our way to the clothing section first. We browsed through the racks of clothes, trying to find what we liked. “I’m sorry about your pregnancy.” Emery sympathized with me, her eyes focused on my flat stomach. I wasn’t expecting it but it was normal because everyone would notice I wasn’t with a baby anymore. I was supposed to be showing by now.Flashing an awkward smile, I responded. “Thank you I guess.” “I’m sorry we didn’t come to visit you when it happened.” Evelyn chimed in and I shot her a weak smile. “It’s okay. At least you guys are here now.” I said, trying my best not to show how uncomfortable I was with the conversation. I didn’t even need any sympathy visit from them or anybody. I didn’t even see my sister and mum for over a week when it happened. I didn’t want the happy mood to change with them reminding me of what I lost. I was trying to move on from the situation and accept my fate. “What do you guys think about
