“What’s on our itinerary?” I asked as the elevator took me and George down the floors. We had arrived very early in the morning and George had allowed me two hours to properly get ready and we were finally on our way out.

“I was thinking we could visit the Louvre museum, take a nice seine river cruise, and then visit the Eiffel Tower.”

“I’m so excited.” I squealed. I had never visited these places even if I dreamt of traveling a lot. However, I couldn’t travel when I had no money to do so. Traveling seemed like such a mundane thing but it was actually for the rich or for people who were willing to give up their last card to do it.

George let out a hearty laugh. “You are so adorable. You were acting all hard-headed when you were working for me.”

“Of course.” I rolled my eyes. “I couldn’t be too vulnerable with you when we weren’t even together.”

“That’s understandable. If I had known you’d show me a different part of yourself, I’d have made you mine a long time ago. I

    Abigail Hayes~•~I was certain I had taken more than a hundred pictures already and it was only our second day in Paris. We had one more night and we’d be flying to Hawaii. To say I was excited was an understatement.The previous day, we had extended our Seine River cruise because of how much I loved the view, so we didn’t have the time to visit the famous Eiffel Tower.At some point, I had to video call Maya to show her the view I was enjoying. She was jealous and demanded I keep her on the phone until we were done, which I didn’t because then, she’d be encroaching on my personal time with George.The night had ended as expected, George and I wrapped up in the sheets with him inside me. I’d heard that pregnancy intensified all hormones and I was beginning to think it was true.I was more emotional than usual. My anger and sadness were more overwhelming than they usually were and I was hornier than ever, especially after our time together on the private jet. According to George, I wa

    George Galanti~•~At the start of our honeymoon, Abigail had been excited about the private jet, but she was already done with it.Since she heard that we were flying for over sixteen hours, she’d been whining nonstop. She’d taken three short naps and we still hadn’t arrived. I allowed her to sleep as much as she liked because we took off around ten. By the time we arrived in Honolulu, it was going to be around two in the afternoon because of the twelve-hour time difference between Paris and Honolulu.We had been on air for ten hours and we still had six more hours to go. To say Abigail was unhappy was an understatement. She was excited about Hawaii, don’t get me wrong. What put her off was the amount of time we were spending on the air. According to her, it was almost a full day.While she slept, I checked with my secretary and Zara on how things were over in New York. When she woke up, I knew I wouldn’t get any more work done so I just closed my laptop and set it aside as she crawl

  • The Billionaire’s not so Secret Mistress   71. Enrico

    Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t want to ruin my honeymoon by doubting George but it seemed like he was hiding something from me.Whoever Enrico was, it seemed like he was someone I wasn’t supposed to know about. George was acting pretty sneaky about the call. I knew he had only one friend, Charles and I knew most of his business associates as I used to be his secretary.Even if he formed alliances with new people, he wouldn’t be so secretive about it. If it was a business call, he would have excused himself and taken it. Throughout our time in Hawaii, Enrico had called a few times, aside from the time at the seafood restaurant, but George never took his call around me.However, I decided not to talk about it. If he was hiding something from me, he probably had a good reason for doing so. Even before we got married, he was very transparent. I doubted things would change just because we finally confessed to each other and had rings on our marriage fingers.The last three days had been a blas

    George Galanti~•~Enrico was an asshole. I knew that. He knew that too.I gritted my teeth to hold back my words. He might be an annoying man but the power he held was crazy. He and his organization had connections all over the world, which was how they didn’t get in trouble even if they did illegal things.I looked at Abigail who seemed curious about the man in front of us and sighed. I brought out the keycard from my pocket and handed it to her. “You can go inside first.”She frowned at me. “I don’t want to go alone.”“Please.” I bit out. I knew I sounded insincere but I didn’t want her to stay down there and familiarize herself with a man like Enrico. There was a reason I kept him away from every other person in my life and it wasn’t so he could meet my pregnant wife and make friends with her.“Fine.” She retorted, sounding displeased as she grabbed the key from my hand and stomped away. I would have laughed at how cute she looked walking away angrily but this was no time for that

    Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t want to be that kind of wife who didn’t give her husband privacy, but it was obvious he wasn’t friends with the Enrico guy. I hated that he was already keeping things from me as he was a transparent man. It meant whatever secret he was keeping happened to be serious. That meant I deserved to know about it, didn’t it?It was a new place we moved into and even George’s best friend, Charles didn’t know the location yet. Hell, Maya and my family didn’t know exactly where we were staying. I planned to bring them to visit to get to know the place, but that wasn’t the point.Whoever Enrico was, he was most likely powerful seeing as he was able to track down George’s location. He also knew exactly when we would be back which was why he was waiting for us in front of our building.There was also the fact that he said George was working for him. George didn’t work for anyone. He had business partners, not bosses.It unsettled me.That was probably what propelled my de

    Abigail Hayes~•~“You’ve been so scarce since you became a wife,” Maya commented as soon as I sat down opposite her. We had agreed to meet up at a cafe because I didn’t want to stay indoors. I’d been doing too much of that recently.I still hadn’t figured out what to do with my life after marrying George.I chuckled, rolling my eyes. “You don’t see me for two weeks and you’re already complaining?”“Give me a break. For six years, I saw you every day. It’s weird living without you.”I gave her a sympathetic smile. We’d been living together since we were eighteen, first at the dorms, then we found an apartment when we were twenty. I understood her point of view. She was very used to living with me and was suddenly living alone.But then again, “You’ve been pestering me to get married and move out so you can use my room as you like.”“I was joking.” She huffed.Even if we were the same age, she always told me to get married as soon as possible because my relationships usually lasted thr

    George Galanti~•~It was a boring day at work, as usual since Abby wasn’t my secretary anymore. Some days, I wondered whether I should bring her to replace my secretary and promote the current one, but she hasn’t yet decided if she still wanted to work or not.It was more than an hour before closing when my secretary suddenly called me and told me a woman was there to see me.It made me frown. If anyone wanted to see me, they had to make an appointment first and my secretary never told me to expect a visitor.My mind immediately went to Abby. She probably still had access to the private elevator and came up on her own before getting stopped by my secretary. “Did she tell you who she was?” I inquired.“She said she’s your wife.”A smile spread across my lips instinctively. I didn’t like surprises very much but if they were from Abby, I didn’t mind. In fact, I loved them. “Send her in.”“Okay, sir.” I heard her faintly ushering her in before the call was cut. When my door was pushed o

    Abigail Hayes~•~There was a faint throbbing in my head and I could hear a distant movement as my eyelids slowly fluttered open. They closed immediately after the bright light shone against my eyes.Breathing out, I opened them again and tried to adjust to the light. I could hear people speaking around me but I couldn’t tell what they were talking about as I tried to make sense of what had happened.The ceiling I was staring at was all white. It didn’t look like my and George’s bedroom. Where was I and what the hell happened?“You’re awake!” Somebody suddenly exclaimed beside me, making me flinch. I turned slightly to see that it was Olivia, but as soon as she spoke, there were three other heads staring down at me; Maya, my mom, and my mother-in-law.I looked around. “Why am I in the hospital?”“You fainted, Abby!” Olivia didn’t hesitate to tell me. “We were all so scared for you. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now? Are you having any pain? You can tell us.”“You’re talk

    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
