I felt bad sending George back home without following him but as I said, I needed time to sort through my thoughts.

That day, when he left, I received a long text message telling me about everything in his life, including his birth parents’ names and their histories which I had no business learning about. According to him, he wanted to be very transparent with me.

His effort was cute.

It had only been a night without him but it wasn’t an easy one. I kept tossing and turning. I’d gotten so used to sleeping with him that sleeping alone was torture. Was this what it meant to depend on someone?

I was able to get through the night though and when morning came, I decided to visit my mother. She and Olivia were the only ones I hadn’t seen after the incident.

When I got to the house, I was welcomed by Olivia who engulfed me in a big long hug as she opened the door for me. I threw my arms over her shoulders and we stayed in that position until my mum came out of her room.

    Abigail Hayes~•~After our lunch together, Olivia said she had plans with her friends and didn’t go back home with us.My mom asked me if I had other plans and was happy when I told her I didn’t, even if she tried to make it subtle. She loved spending time with us and as soon as I moved to the dorms for college, she made sure to call me every day.Over the years, the frequency with which she called me reduced but every time she did, she was always urging me to go home.She suddenly wanted to bake cookies when we were back home and I had a feeling she had looked up bonding activities for mother and daughter some time ago. Chuckling to myself, I nodded and started helping her with sieving the flour.As we worked, we discussed a lot of things and laughed about my childhood memories, even the ones including my father and that was when I decided to talk about what we never really talked about, but that was because of the conversation George and I had the previous day“Mom,” I called out q

    George Galanti~•~It had been weeks. Abigail said she was going to call when she was ready. I had thought it would take a few days for her to be ready or at least, a week. I didn’t know I still wouldn’t be hearing from her three weeks later.She didn’t take my calls. She didn’t let me see her and I was beginning to think it was a problem other than the stuff with Enrico. Speaking of Enrico, I had to terminate our contract and he didn’t like that, but I didn’t care.Abigail wanted me to be a good person. I knew just as much as she did that I wasn’t going to automatically become a good person, but I had to try for her. I really didn’t want to lose her and it seemed like she was already slipping through my fingers.Our relationship over the months hadn’t been the best. We went from casual fucking to fighting to getting her pregnant and getting married because of her pregnancy. Even if I was happy to marry her, it didn’t change the fact that we didn’t marry under normal circumstances. T

    Abigail Hayes~•~I was at a crossroads.I didn’t know whether to stay away from George or talk to him about my findings and I’d always been indecisive which was why I still hadn’t decided after three weeks of avoiding him.I didn’t know what I would say when I saw him. Logically, he had nothing to do with my father’s death. It wasn’t like his father was still his father or anything like that, but the fact that he had the blood of my father’s killer flowing in his veins unsettled me and I didn’t know what to do.Aside from the fact that I was living with Maya, I was technically in isolation. I didn’t leave the house. I merely stayed inside my room and watched shows, only coming out when I had to eat. The only time I left my house was to take my mother to the hospital.After I realized George’s biological father killed mine, my mom had asked me what was wrong, but I couldn’t tell her. I had found out something about her husband’s murder after so many years and I didn’t know whether to

    Abigail Hayes~•~I wasn’t stalking Christine. I didn’t like her that much to stalk her. It just so happened that she was posting on her IG more regularly and it kept me interested because the places she posted about were also the same places George visited.Yes, I was stalking him.I still had his location after all and I wasn’t ashamed to say that whenever Christine posted about a new place, I checked his location history.He was obviously ignoring me and I didn’t know what to do. I was the one ignoring him, but now the tables were turned and I was left confused.What did that mean for us? Was he done with me? Did he get sick and tired of me? I couldn’t even blame him. If a man left me without a proper explanation for a whole month, I’d be done too.I bit down on my fingernails. I was dressed and ready to leave the house, but I didn’t know if it was a good idea. I stared at the divorce papers in my hand, wondering if I was going over the top.Our relationship was failing. He and Chr

    Abigail Hayes~•~I waited for a beat. Then another. And another. He didn’t say anything.I was beginning to get anxious. He was just staring at the paper I placed in front of him, unmoving. I was curious to know what was going on in his head. Was he relieved that I was initiating divorce?“I’ve already signed it,” I spoke up when the silence was becoming deafening even if he could see that I already signed it. “You just have to sign your part and we can start the process.”I saw the outline of his tongue poking the inside of his cheek before he raised his head slowly. I almost shrank under his gaze, but I decided to stand my ground. “What is this supposed to mean?” He uttered in a dangerous tone.“I’m sure you’re familiar with what kind of paperwork it is.” I couldn’t help but bite back bitterly. In the space of six months, he’d have had two divorces. It made me wonder if he would get married again after me.Did he really mean it when he said he liked me? Or was he saying it so we co

    George Galanti~•~I had a feeling Abigail was mad at me for something else but I didn’t know what and her expression confirmed it.She seemed hesitant to speak but I didn’t want her to hold back whatever she was thinking. It was better to lay all our cards so we could move forward from there.I turned us around and picked her up easily, placing her on the table. I parted her legs and stepped in between them, placing both of my arms on either side of her hips. I looked up at her to see that she was already looking at me. “Talk to me, baby. What is the matter?”She tried to look away but I didn’t let her. “How can I talk when you’re looking at me like that?”I cocked my head, making our faces closer than before. “How am I looking at you?”“Like you want to eat me or something.”I grinned. “What do you think?” I leaned forward and brushed my lips against hers, smiling when she let out a sigh of satisfaction. It had been too long since we kissed. It had been too long since I held her in

    Abigail Hayes~•~George left work early.I asked him if it wasn’t going to interfere with his work but he told me he’d been working overtime for the past few weeks so it wouldn’t matter. He had covered most of the work for this week already so he could take a break.As for me, I didn’t go back to my former apartment. It wasn’t like George was going to let me anyway. I went back home with him and sent a text to Maya to inform her of this. Her reply came immediately.[Maya: you’re so weak for him! You’ve been staying away from him and as soon as you saw him, you folded and you’re now going home with him you horny bitch][Me: don’t send me any more texts in the meantime][Maya: why? Are you going to fuck?]My face bloomed red and I sneaked a glance at George who was driving, hoping he wouldn’t see the text.[Me: what? No, stfu][Maya: stop acting like a saint. I’ll leave you to your man now]By the time I turned off my phone, my face was still red.“Why are you blushing? Are you flirtin

    Abigail Hayes~•~I didn’t know when the kiss went from being sweet and passionate to hungry and lust-filled.He was kissing me as though he wanted to eat me and I was kissing him back with equal fervor until we had to pull away for breath. As soon as we did, his lips were on my cheek. He kissed my jaw, then went down to my neck and found a spot to nibble on while his hands started roaming around my body.It had been a long time since we had sex so I couldn’t even blame him. Besides, I wanted him just as much as he wanted me.He suddenly stopped and looked at me, which confused me. “Why did you stop?” I asked breathlessly.“Is this safe? After…”I could feel his erection poking me through his trousers and he had the patience to stop and ask me if it was safe? I nodded, wanting him to get back to what he was doing as soon as possible.“Are you sure?”“I’m certain, George. Go on.”It was adorable that he wanted to be sure before he went on but I was impatient. He chuckled and moved back

    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
