George Galanti

~•~

I hated the situation more than I cared to admit.

It had been more than a week and I still couldn’t get a hold of Abigail. I knew where she lived; obviously, I’ve had things delivered there, but I didn’t know how it would look if I suddenly showed up.

Work was supposed to start in two days anyway. Maybe I’d see her then. We could talk about everything.

I’d tell her that Christine and I were no longer married. Christine was smarter than she seemed because, by the time I was back in New York, which was the next day, she had signed the papers already. If she hadn’t, I would have taken her to court and she knew she wouldn’t win.

That didn’t mean the problem with her was completely settled. I didn’t know what she told my parents and hers, but everyone was calling me and I was not in the mood to talk to anyone except Abigail. It was just my poor luck that she blocked my line.

I even sent her a message to her work email but she ignored it. I couldn’t even blame her. No one

    Abigail Hayes~•~I was awoken by my ringtone and for the first time, I wished I had put my phone on silent before going to sleep.I was supposed to be out searching for jobs since I no longer had one, but I wanted to take advantage of my unemployment for a while. Working had been very stressful and I finally understood women who only wanted to stay pretty while their men did all the work to take care of them.I tried to ignore my phone but it rang for the second time, making me groan. I squinted my eyes and saw that it was way past noon. I wasn’t surprised because I spent the night watching movies, only sleeping around three in the morning. However, I didn’t remember giving anyone my number so I couldn’t figure out why an unknown number was calling me.What if it was George? He had been trying to reach me ever since I sent in my resignation letter. I didn’t even have the guts to go to the office and clear my table because I knew he would try to talk to me.Hoping it wasn’t him, I ans

    Abigail Hayes~•~I was starting to get used to the elite social circle seeing as I was attending their events a lot. When I started working for George, I never imagined attending these events with him. I understood helping to prepare for such events but attending? He had a wife.When I stopped working for him, I didn’t think I’d be back attending them but a momentary burst of spontaneity had me walking into a very fancy house with Patrick James.I didn’t know what possessed me to say yes to him. It was George. It had to be. Whenever he was around me, I made silly decisions without caring about the consequences. I could only hope he wasn’t part of the so-called close-knit friends.“Have I told you you look stunning today?” Patrick leaned closer to whisper as we entered the living room. Apparently, they had already started but the living room was empty. “Only about fifteen times,” I responded. He had picked me up from my apartment and couldn’t stop telling me how pretty I looked. I wa

    George Galanti~•~Abigail gasped as though she wasn’t expecting me.Well, I wasn’t expecting myself to walk out after her. I saw the way my father stared at me as I left but I ignored it. “George, what are you doing in here?”“The same thing you’re doing,” I responded, trapping her to the door. “Taking a break from everyone outside.”She licked her lips and tried to push past me but I didn’t let her. “What if someone saw us coming in together?”“They get paid to keep their mouths shut, Abby. Stop pretending like you don’t know why I am here. You’re driving me crazy.”Abigail frowned.“Will you just let me talk?”Abigail had always been the kind of woman to talk about how she was feeling. Despite being reserved sometimes, she couldn’t hide how she was feeling, but now she had completely shut me out and I hated it. I didn’t know what she was thinking. I didn’t know what conclusion she had drawn up in her head.The last time I saw her, she had said I wasn’t honest with her when I’d bee

  • The Billionaire’s not so Secret Mistress   42. A long story

    Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t know why George thought he had to explain his life to me. I didn’t ask.I hated the fact that he did though because it kept my mind on him. It made me wonder what kind of family he came from that he had to get married for the sake of it just to keep the pressure off his back. Did his parents consider his feelings or what he wanted at all?But George seemed like the kind of man who didn’t give a damn about anything. He was the kind of man that did things for himself. I understood that his parents held a special place in his heart but things became complicated when they didn’t have his best interests at heart.I didn’t know much about them but I didn’t like them already.As for Christine, there was only one logical reason for the scene she created that day. If all that George said was true, then she had fallen in love with him. That, or she thought she had some sick ownership over him.As I returned to the table, Patrick turned to look at me. “Is something goi

    Abigail Hayes~•~“Why the fuck do you mean by your pregnant!?”“Shhh.” I shushed Maya aggressively even if we were the only ones in our apartment. “Be quiet.” For some reason, I thought saying it out loud would make it come true. I hadn’t done any tests so I wasn’t certain. “I said there’s a possibility.”I hadn’t told Maya as soon as I suspected it. I had waited one more week to observe things. I’d done extensive research on Google just to make sure I truly had pregnancy signs. I didn’t want it to be true, which was why I kept hoping they would be signs of something else, like a minor sickness.Don’t get me wrong. I had nothing against babies, but just not at this age. What would my mom think of me? I didn’t have a husband yet. Hell, I wasn’t even in a relationship. My mom had always warned us about having safe sex, but I met George and all I knew about safe sex flew out the window.If we thought about it, it was both our faults. We fucked raw without thinking about the consequences

    Abigail Hayes~•~I stood in front of the building I’d been working in a month ago. My feet were rooted in place and I couldn’t find it in me to move at all.I was scared of what was going to happen when I finally walked in and told George the news. Would he even listen to me? Would he think I was lying? Just a few days ago, I’d told him I didn’t want anything to do with him and here I was, standing in front of his company, too afraid to go in.“Abigail?” A hesitant voice called out and I turned around, instantly plastering a smile on my face. “I thought that was you,” Zara said warmly. “What are you doing here? I thought you quit?”I nodded. “I came to clear out my desk.”I was one month late but that sounded like the best excuse I could give.“Mr. Galanti already cleared it out, but the box is in your former office though.”I bit my bottom lip, nodding again. How eager was he to get me out of his life that he went through the trouble of clearing out my desk for me? “I’ll go and get

    Abigail Hayes~•~George didn’t stop breathing. He didn’t stop trying. He didn’t pause. He didn’t freeze. He didn’t make any indication that he heard me. He was still as calm as ever. I was confused.“I said I’m pregnant.”“I heard you the first time.”So he did hear me. Why was he acting like he didn’t then? “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“What do you mean?”“I just told you I’m pregnant.”“Again, I heard you. I’m just wondering why you’re telling me this piece of information.”My mouth dropped open. What the fuck was that even supposed to mean? There was only one reason I was telling him and I didn’t think he was that dense that he wouldn’t know why. He finally stopped typing again, then stood up to round his table.He leaned back on the table, folded his arms across his chest, and stared at me. “Why did you come all the way here to tell me that you’re pregnant?”I blinked, stunned. He couldn’t be any more different from the man I used to know. “Maybe because you’re responsible f

    Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t have a picture of George Galanti.If I did, I would have printed it out and made holes in several parts of it, especially his eyes seeing as I had the strongest urge to poke them.I hated him so damn much and I hated the fact that he was constantly on my mind. It was worse because now, I was carrying his child. There was no way I was going to forget about him now.And he didn’t even care. He didn’t try to take responsibility. I’d said I didn’t expect anything from him and would accept any reaction he gave, but I just didn’t expect him to think I was trying to trap him with a baby. I wasn’t that stupid.Sure, he had lots of money but if I wanted to spend his money, all I had to do was to continue fucking him. He liked spending on me anyway. The only reason he limited it was so I wouldn’t complain about it.“How did it go?”My head snapped up and I saw that Maya was standing in front of me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even hear her come in.I le

    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
