The Billionairess's possession THE WARNING
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POVVanessa smiles and pours herself more coffee before speaking. "So tell me, are you in a sexual relationship with my friend Aubrey? Your boss?" I stare directly into her eyes. I can’t believe she has the nerve to ask me about my sexual relationships. I never agreed to be with Aubrey, I only said I’d think about it. But that’s no longer my ex-wife's business."Would it bother you if I were? Are you jealous?” I raise a brow at her and she looks at me disapprovingly."I know I fucked up big-time, but I still care and love you more than anything""Just stop, Vanessa. Save yourself the time and energy. You aren’t fooling me, not anymore. You got the Cyrus you wanted, so why not just stop?”"I can't stop when it's you I want.""Well, it’s a little too late for that!” I say.“I know, but let me prove to you that I love and care for you. I’ll do anything, Abel. Anything.”"You already proved enough to me, Vanessa. The only reason I’m even sitting here right now is because
Last Updated : 2024-11-25The Billionairess's possession DESIRED
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV I enter my car feeling awkward out of my depth. Surely Vanessa doesn't think that her pretense is bewitching enough to make me forget all the inhumane things she did and said to me in front Cyrus.I got nothing out of being a good man to her. Not even once.Her kiss still tasted as devine as I can remember despite the cruelty in her heart. Wait, why am I even thinking about it? I want to slap myself because my reaction is now bordering on ridiculous.I slam the door shut, start the engine and peel out of the hotel's driveway eager to put as much distance between me and my controlling ex-wife.About two miles before the traffic light where I would turn right to go to my apartment, I become aware of a sleek silver Land Rover car riding in the left lane next to me. I speed up, then slow down, the car match my speed. Is Vanessa having me followed?I turn left and the car swerves into the left lane and continue to follow me. What the fuck?!I pull my car to a stop saf

VANESSA STERLING'S POV"I’ve been thinking since I left, and I’ve decided I’m ready to give you another shot," Cyrus declares and my eyes narrow in disbelief."You’re giving me another shot?" I laugh, incredulous."Look vanessa, I'm willing to forget what happened that night. I know you didn't mean to say all those awful things or hit me and I want you to know I forgive you." he continues, as if bestowing a great favor. "I’ll just grab my things and come back home.""Whose home?" I retort, and he blinks in confusion."Our home... here," he insists, and I can’t help but laugh again."I hope my talking isn’t annoying you..because your face...." he stammers."No, no please continue talking." I urge, my irritation boiling."I have nowhere else to go," he claims."Have you ever heard of the saying " Don't shit where you eat?" I ask as I pull out a stack of papers and slams them down on the coffee table in front of him. "This pretty sums it up.""What are those for?" "They're divorce pape

A surprised look crosses her face. "How is Abel exactly your ex-husband?" I snort, "Isn't that common sense? He’s my ex because I was married to him and we divorced."Her flabbergasted expression is priceless. She stares at me, mouth agape.Then she leans back, crossing her arms. “You can't dictate who I can be with? You don’t own Abel, Vanessa.”I feel anger rise in my chest. “Yes, I actually do. He's very off limit and very mine."She scoffs, "If you divorced him, don't you think it's well within his right to be with whoever he wants? Besides I see no problem with taking a good man from a careless woman." She laughs, and I can’t help but join in.“You know Aubrey we could do this the easy way or the hard way. We could negotiate like two Adults or...""Negotiate." She laughs, “What makes you think I’m willing to negotiate anything? I’m already in control here. Abel clearly loathes you.""Watch what you say to me, Aubrey," I snicker. "You seem to have no idea how many ways I can dest
Last Updated : 2024-11-25The Billionairess's possession PROTECTING HER MAN
VANESSA STERLING'S POV "We’ve got the information you asked for, but you won’t like what’s inside.” The male detective warns sliding an envelope across the table. "There isn't much I haven't seen." I pick it and tear it open emptying its content onto the table, which includes numerous photos and printed documents.The first photo is a glamorous image of the red haired girl at a high-profile event."That’s from a charity gala," the female detective says. "She often goes to these events as an escort for rich clients." There are several other pictures of the girl with different male celebrities. "Looks like she hangs out with men with big names only," I remark."Yeah, and each of those celebrities has had their careers go downhill after associated with her due to public backlash," the male detective adds.I pick up a printed document that looks like a printed schedule from a very popular nightclub. "And what's this?"“That is the list of her performances. She's one of their top earners

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "I must warn you to stay away from your red haired friend, Sofia Letto. She might be sweet, but she's not who you think she is and I’d hate for you to find out the hard way, Abel."I read my ex-wife's message for the fifth time since last night, trying to make sense of it. She attached a photo of Sofia and me at the grocery store.How did she even know about Sofia? Unless she's having me followed around, which I had already suspected anyway. I don't know what to think about her claim about Sofia either. Sure, Sofia has some moral flaws, but I didn’t see her as a bad person. She hasn't done anything to prove that yet. I take a deep breath and type a response."I let you call the shots when we were together, but don’t try to dictate my life now."Before I can second-guess myself, I hit send. I don't like provoking Vanessa, she's too arrogant and lacks the basic awareness to acknowledge her faults.I hear heels clicking against the polished floor and Ms. Raven app
Last Updated : 2024-11-25The Billionairess's possession UNBELIEVABLE!
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV“You really let a big opportunity slip back there.” Ms Raven says as we walk out of the studio."Yeah, because it was really fun to be the only naked one in a room full of people. And it’s even more fun to talk to the artists while I’m still naked." I reply sarcastically."So, are you going to tell me how comes you and Vanessa Sterling are friends?" I ask as we step off the elevator. She glances at me, her expression unreadable."Why do you want to know about Vanessa so much?" she replies."I'm just curious," I say, there is no way I'm telling her Vanessa was my ex-wife."Okay." She gives a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes and walks toward her car, I follow behind."Vanessa and I go way back. We went to same high school and our families were close. We were Inseparable." she explains and I raise an eyebrow. Vanessa, inseparable? That’s hard to imagine."She started her brand while I was in college. She was my role model when I took over my father's company,

ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "Don't test me, Abel. I don’t want you to see that side of me that it's not meant for you. I only want you safe.”I read the text from my ex-wife, shaking my head in disbelief. Does she even hear herself? Sometimes I wonder if she knows what kind of an entitled, arrogant control freak she is.Another message pops up, “I need you to listen to me so I can keep you safe and protect you."Is she trying to soften the threat from her first message? And we’re not together anymore, I’m not her responsibility. I type back. "I’m not your problem."She’s out of her mind if she thinks I’ll let her control me now or dictate who I can see.Before I can even put my phone down, it buzzes again.“You are.”Great. Arguing with her is so pointless. She has this ego, this sense of entitlement expecting everyone to fall in line with her demands.I want to ask about what Ms. Raven told me yesterday, if it’s true she was seeing other men while we were married. But what would that chan

The Billionairess's possession THE CRAZY EX-WIFE
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV Once Ms Raven leaves, Vanessa turns to face me, cracking her knuckles. “You’re lucky I didn’t knock her ass out for bringing you here. You know that, don’t you?”"Seriously! Why are you being such a bitch Vanessa? You have no fucking right to decide who I can and cannot be with." "I'm trying to keep you safe Abel. There are people around you who want to hurt you, and you don’t even see it. So yeah, I have the fucking right to decide who you can and cannot be with. Every fucking right." "I don’t need your protection, I’m not your responsibility. And how can you claim you want to protect me after disgracing me in front of the whole world," I angrily respond. "You feel disgraced?" she raises her eyebrows. "I only acknowledged that we were once married and asked for your forgiveness.""Forgiveness? Is that what you call what you told the media?” I scoff. "Being known as your ex-husband is an awful disgrace," I say and her eyes flash with a mix of anger and hurt."O
The Billionairess's possession THE CONFRONTATION
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "You need to go to the media and tell them what kind of a terrible wife she was to you. You should expose how she couldn't even be faithful to you, despite your devotion" Ms Raven urges as soon as we settle into our table at the vintage hotel. I booked a table for our meeting here since I figured that my usual restaurant will be a cheap place for Ms Raven to be and an unsuitable place for me when my face is plastered all over the internet. It only took a few hours for Vanessa's confession to be featured on countless gossip articles and with massive speculation."But that's not true," I tell. "Vanessa was good to me, faithful, even, until the last few months before our divorce."Ms. Raven scoffs. "What does it matter? She publicly humiliated you, making it sound like you were worthless and dependent on her. You should tell everyone she’s been harassing and stalking you.”I know she’s just angry about Vanessa revealing her secrets to her parents. What she doesn't
The Billionairess's possession ONLY HER'S
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV "Making obvious mistakes is so unlike you Miss sterling, I mean you're a business genius and world's richest woman. It's a shock to hear you dumped a diamond only to replace it with fake gold." Miss lane tells."That's true. None of us is devoid of mistakes apparently. But I believe in second chances, or at least in claiming them. I can assure you that my diamond will come back to me soon or later." Vanessa answers confidently.For some reason she sounds very certain that I will reconcile with her. But she is mistaken if she thinks I want to be treated like a doormat again."That's amazing to hear, because I literally cannot think of another man worthy of your precious attention. It's sad that you lost Abel Blackwood once, do you think getting him back now may be a little difficult since he has found a bit of success of his own?" Miss lane asks."If he knows what's good for him , I am certain he will come running." Vanessa states matter-of-factly. The audience la
The Billionairess's possession HER CONFESSION
ABEL'S POV Sasha is beautiful, not nearly as Vanessa, but she is pretty in a warm, inviting way that makes you feel at ease. Vanessa used to make my nerves go wild. A part of me liked that. I still do admire her wits, determination and sheer beauty. But she broke my heart in the worst way possible.“Want some more?” Sasha asks playfully after I finish my first mug. I shake my head as I have started to feel buzzed already. In the past few years I have discovered, my alcohol tolerance is virtually nonexistent. One drink is just about my limit.Just then, a group of her young female customers walk in, giggling and chatting excitedly. I take it as my cue to leave.“I should get going,” I say, and Sasha looks up, her brow furrowing slightly. “Not really in the mood to socialize more today.”She brightens a bit. “Would you mind stepping outside for a walk with me? I'm sure it’ll help with your moods.”I hesitate, glancing back at the giggling girls heading to the other side of the bar.“Do
The Billionairess's possession TWO- FACED FRIENDS
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV I turn on the flat-screen television so there's noise to provide some semblance of distraction from my heated thoughts. I still feel hurt by Wensley's earlier accusations but I do feel guilty for not coming clean sooner. But how can I explain the truth when he is so quick to judge?I know I will have to deal with him sooner or later so I might as well take a drive by his place now and explain everything. The truth might hurt him more though.Twenty minutes later I am arriving at his place. There is limited parking space so I pack one block down by the side of the street and walk over to his apartment, glad to see the lights on.I go up the steps like I am going to jokingly bang inside the house, but something inside stops me. We freely walk into each others places and even as I am about to grab the door knob and let myself in, I think this time it would be prudent to knock, since I'm not sure we are still in good terms. Looking through the door window as I am abo
The Billionairess's possession THREATS
ABEL'S BLACKWOOD'S POV I have lost count of how many times I have attempted to talk myself out of calling Vanessa for help. I keep reminding myself Cyrus problem won't solve itself. The man wouldn't leave until I promised I'll will indeed quit my job. I only agreed to that to get him out of my apartment, but I can’t let him drag my name through the mud by going to the media about my marriage with Vanessa.With a deep breath, I dial Vanessa’s private number. Since she married Cyrus he is her problem as much as he is mine. She picks up almost immediately. This will be so fucking awkward.“Hey, Vanessa... it’s Abel.”"I know. Surprised to hear from you." Her tone is so warm and welcoming.“Yeah, it's definitely surprising. Cyrus was here. He was making demands.” I inform.“What? Why did you not call me right then?”"Maybe because he was holding a gun to my head. He wants me to quit my job or he’ll go public about our marriage," I answer.There’s a pause on other end. “And you think tha
The Billionairess's possession THE BROTHER'S DEMAND
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POV I wake up to the persistent ringing of my phone. Groggy and unwilling to get up, I fumble around the table, but my hand brushes against nothing. Groaning, I push myself up from the couch to find Wensley looming over me, my phone in his hand.“Why is our boss texting you saying she’s sorry about what happened yesterday and wants to meet and explain?” he questions, brows furrowed. “She’s been calling you all night.”I sit up straight and snatch the phone from him. “Why the hell are you going through my personal texts?” I shoot back, glancing at Ms. Raven's messages flooding my screen.“What happened yesterday? Were you at that fundraiser with her?” Wensley asks just as my phone rings again, Ms. Raven's number flashing on the screen.“Why don’t you answer?” he presses. “Because it’s complicated, and you shouldn’t have picked up my phone in the first place,” I snap.He laughs sarcastically. “You almost had me fooled.”“What?”“You almost had me fooled that you’re cl
The Billionairess's possession CRAZY FANS
ABEL BLACKWOOD'S POVWensley pulls up sooner than I expected, and I hop into the front seat, muttering a quick, “Thanks.”“How’d you get here so fast?” I ask, glancing out the window just in time to see Vanessa's bodyguards heading back inside.“I was nearby at a club. Surprised to hear from you at this hour. What are you doing at such a high-profile event?""It's just a fundraiser,” I reply, trying to keep it vague. I know he won’t want to hear that I was invited by Miss Raven.“A fundraiser? How did you get invited to a billionaire's fundraiser?” Wensley presses, clearly intrigued.Fuck, here we go. Damn Aubrey for leaving me at that party. And damn me for being an impulsive idiot that agreed to go with her.“Can we talk about it tomorrow?” I suggest, hoping he won't remember about it by tomorrow.“Sure, no problem,” he replies, driving out of the sprawling estate.“Before we head home, I need to pick this chick up at the club,” Wensley adds, shooting me a playful grin.I raise my e
The Billionairess's possession PETTY EX-WIFE
ABEL'S BLACKWOOD'S POV "Where did I ever go wrong raising her?” Mrs. Raven groans burying her face in her trembling hands. Her husband pulls her close, his own expression a mix of anger and despair. “It’s not your fault. You raised her the best you could. She chose this herself.” Vanessa comforts as if she hadn’t been the one to stir the pot in the first place.Mrs. Raven lifts her head slightly, her eyes red and puffy. “But did she have to be with a criminal? Her father's age?” “I’m so sorry for inviting Senator Jonathan,” Vanessa says. “If I hadn’t .....”“No, thank you for inviting that idiot,” Mr. Raven interjects bitterly. “Otherwise, we would have never known our daughter is a. . . ” He pauses, his voice thick with disgust, “a disgrace.”He turns back to his wife, his tone softening as he whispers, “Come on, let’s get you cleaned up.” He stands and gently guides her to her feet.As she rises, Mrs. Raven grips Vanessa’s hand tightly. “You should have been the kind of daughter
