The CEO's Gold Digger 18. Baby Sister
______________________...The persistent ringing of the doorbell penetrated her dreamless sleep. Unable to differentiate reality from her unconsciousness, Willow lay there clueless for a few moments before she jumped up, her eyes on the bedroom door. Knox? No, it was definitely not him. But then who else would be at her door so early in the morning and ringing the bell so insistently?Willow rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and got off the bed, putting on her bunny slippers before waddling over to the security system. She turned it on and raised a brow when she saw who it was. And that who was having an argument with her next-door neighbor Zach Herbert. Willow opened the door."There you are! Tell this asshole I am not some fucking 'intruder'!" Natalie Wright air-quoted as she glared up at Zach who had intercepted her outside for creating a ruckus. "She is my friend." Willow massaged her temple as she turned to Zach. "Sorry about that. She is a menace." "Wow, is that what you

______________________...Zach was stepping out as well when the two ladies left the apartment for their breakfast date. "Do they let just anyone stay here in this building?" Natalie asked obnoxiously as all three of them filed into the elevator box. "You should look for a new place." Willow wanted to tell Natalie that she could not do any such thing for the next two years and that she needed to wait for the next order from her older brother. But, she did not think that the actress would be too thrilled to find out the details of the relationship she and her mother had adored for the past three years. Zach pretended to not hear Natalie's snide remark and turned to Willow with a friendly smile. "Any plans for the weekend?""That's your business how?" Natalie was the one to reply."He is just being polite, Nat." Willow sighed."Yeah? Seems like he is overstepping his boundaries to me." Natalie commented.Willow gave her a flat look and then mouthed a sorry to Zach who just shook h

_____________________..."You are friends with Natalie Wright?" Willow looked up from her laptop and spun around in her chair as Trisha approached her, waving her phone in the air. "Yes?" Willow had a really bad feeling about this. "And she is Knox Wright's baby sister?" Trisha planted her butt on Willow's desk. Her two girls seemed to do that a lot. Where was Susan anyway?"Yes?" Willow didn't need any confirmation to know where Trisha might have received all that information from. Trisha let out a deep breath. "Wheww, that's a lot of information to take in!" Willow nodded. She wanted to know what was it. She knew it was a new article and she tried to tell herself that she definitely didn't care what the paparazzi said about her but she wanted to know if there was anything malicious about Natalie. Willow opened her mouth to ask the questions but Trisha beat her to it. "Can you introduce me to her? I want a selfie with her, or even better a video!" Trisha clapped her hands

____________________...Natalie sighed after hanging up on Willow. She stared at her brother's face as her phone rang. She had half a thought to simply hang up, put her phone on mute, and maybe get some more sleep before she went out to meet up with Willow. But then her sisterly affection for her darling older brother won and she picked up the call. "Unless you called to say you are calling off the engagement, don't talk to me," Natalie said, leaving aside any pleasantries. Her sisterly affection had indeed won but she was his baby sister after all and so she was going to talk to him the same way she had been talking to him since the day she had started forming sentences. "Just open the front door." Knox sounded tense and out of breath. Natalie rolled her eyes. It was so like her big brother to show up without prior notice. He believed the entire world and its inhabitants revolved around him.But she was Natalie Wright. She was not going to make it any easier for him."Stay the

______________________..."Hello." Willow stopped to stare at Trisha, who was frozen in place as she stared wide-eyed at the popular actress, who had managed to turn up ten minutes before the three women. "H-hello." She finally managed to rasp out. "You must be Trisha." Natalie gave a grin which almost had Trisha swoon literally. "I am." "I have told her all about how you mistreat Will," Susan commented as she took a seat opposite Natalie while Willow took one beside her. "What?" Trisha hissed as she sat down beside Susan. "Mistreat?" Natalie raised a brow, frowning. She thought Trisha was a friend. "I actually saved her ass." Trisha placed a hand on her chest. "Is it not true, Willow?" Willow laughed. "She is right. I do owe her big." Natalie listened to Willow as she recounted what happened a month ago and then turned to Trisha with the grin back in place. "Then I like you already." Trisha was beaming with happiness. "If I knew you were friends with her, I would have

__________________..."If push comes to shove, the world will know about your stupid contract." Knox stiffened in his place. "What did you just say?" He croaked out, disbelief dripping from his every word. Willow cleared her throat on the other side of the phone. "You heard me. You are not the only one who has the upper hand, Knox. I gave you the easy way out. End the contract. I will take care of my mother from now on. But, no, you want to disregard all the hate and suffering I had to go through because of your stupid contract and want to put me in debt by taking back all the money spent on my mother's treatment during the time I pretended to be your girlfriend. It's not the most conventional employer-employee relationship, Knox, but it is one nonetheless so you should really stop threatening me with it. Because a bridge goes both ways, I can do it too." "Wow." He let out a humorless laugh. "I didn't know you were such a bitch. You have been hiding it so well all this time." K

_________________..."I don't want to work here, Mom. I can't get anything right!" Willow paused when she heard Roxy on the phone. "The nicest woman in the company got mad at me today! I must be doing something really wrong." Willow winced hating how she made the poor girl feel. She remembered her own days as an intern and when she thought she couldn't get anything right and when she thought everyone hated her."That's not true." She plucked up the courage to speak.Roxy almost dropped her phone as she jumped around to face her."I will wait for you to finish your call. I will be over there." Willow said, pointing behind her.Roxy shook her head. "No no no, that's alright. I am done."She said into the phone, "Mom, I gotta go. I will talk to you later."She pocketed the phone and stood in attention.Willow let out a chuckle. "You don't need to be so formal in front of me.""Sorry." She winced.Willow sighed. She really had scared the girl out of her wits this morning. There was on

_________________..."Tell me Willow, what are the things that you are interested in?" Daniel asked."Why do you want to know?" Knox was at Willow's side, his posture on the offensive as he turned to face Daniel."Excuse me?" Daniel was merely confused as to why this total stranger was butting in on their conversation.Daniel did not keep up with the gossip column. He knew the name Knox Wright but only from a business point of view and was unaware of all the drama that surrounded him and Willow Mason and Mia Thompson."Why are you so interested in my girlfriend?" Knox found it necessary to rephrase the question in the most obnoxious manner.Willow immediately sprung to her feet, grasping Knox's broad arm and pulling him away from the table."Who is he?" Knox gritted as she dragged him to the corridor that led to the private banquet halls."Who is he?" He kept on repeating.She stopped as soon as they were out of everyone's earshot and sight. There, she yanked her hand away from his

The CEO's Gold Digger Thank You.
Thank you so much for finishing this book. It's not my best work. And I am not really proud of it. But I think it helped me grow a bit as an author and for that, I am very grateful to this book. Hope I didn't screw up the ending like I did with When My Husband Regretted. If you want to read a fun read with lots of drama, do check out The Billionaire's Wrong Revenge. Thank you so much again!
The CEO's Gold Digger 98. And A Happily Ever After (18+)
__________________..."Where are we going?" Willow's eyes widened when she stepped out into the tarmac. She turned to her husband. "Knox-""We are going on honeymoon, wifey.""What about our children?" She was already stressed. "Jay is still breastfeeding, Knox. We can't go!""There is enough breastmilk to last him two days, wifey." He emphasized the word. "And our family will take care of our children.""But-""Whether we are here in the city or on our honeymoon, I don't plan to share you with anyone, darling. Not even with our sons. So take your pick." He cut her off, winking as he threw his arms around her waist.Willow looked over at the private jet waiting for them, and she knew that she didn't really have a choice. Also, she would be lying if she said she was not excited herself. "Alright, I guess I can spare two days for you." She teased, leaning into his embrace.Once on air and the seatbelts came off, Knox didn't waste any time, his hands immediately finding their way to h
The CEO's Gold Digger 97. Wedding Bells
_________________...A FEW MONTHS LATER...."Knox, get out!" Willow glared at her groom, even though she knew there was no use. He was not going to move from there."Knox, how many times do I have to tell you it's bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony?" Melanie hit her son's head with her purse."It's fine." Knox rolled his eyes. "We have been married in my head for years now." He winked at his bride.Willow gave him a flat look before looking down on their three-month-old son latched to her nipple. "Don't fall asleep on me, Jay. I can't feed you in the middle of the ceremony. And your annoying Dadda want it the traditional way so it's going to be long."Knox leaned down and kissed Jayden's forehead. "Take your sweet time, baby. There's no rush.""He has a boob fetish, doesn't he?" Trisha gagged as she walked in along with Susan and Natalie. "He just loves her boobs.""He loves everything about her." Natalie smiled as she set down the wedding bouquet."Especially her boobs

Why the delay even with second child on the way?''Juicy details into Knox Wright and his baby momma's life!''Is the wedding ever going to happen?''Is Knox Wright protecting his wealth from the gold digger?'Willow sniffled as she read the article titles, a bowl of caramelized popcorn on her heavily pregnant belly."Babe, we are back!"She wiped at her tears as soon as she heard Knox's voice."Mommy, we are home!" Came her little Tyler's adorable voice.Willow quickly put aside the phone and bowl, fixing her expression. "In here, my loves!"Knox walked in with a sleepy Tyler in his arms, a tired but happy smile on his face as he made his way to the nursery. "How was your day?" He called to her. "No massage is ever going to fix this backache." Willow sighed. "I need this little guy out! Now!" She poked at her belly as she struggled to get off the couch and follow her boys. She was due any day now but forget labor pain, she rar

______________...Willow smiled at the dumbfounded look on Knox's face."Now let's go. I will talk Nat out of this and you find some way to get her out of this." She said.Knox just continued to stare at her."What?""You are... Are you a fucking angel?" He asked. "Is your heart made of gold?"She rolled her eyes. "Eww, when did you become this cringe?"Knox chuckled, his hand reaching up to wipe away her tears. "Since the day I realized you were the woman who could break down every wall I had built around my heart."She narrowed her eyes at him. "You know, I am not the old Willow who used to swoon at your cheesy lines.""But you still love me," Knox said, his voice softer than she had heard it in a long time."Yeah." She replied without any hesitation. "I do love you."Knox laughed out loud, a laugh so blissful that it melted the last of the ice in her heart as he possessively wrapped his arms around her. "There's me who came here to say my final goodbye before turning myself in f

___________________..."Knox." Willow's voice came out breezy. "Willow." He straightened up and gestured to her apartment door. "Can we talk?" She couldn't bring herself to form words so she simply nodded.Her hand trembled as she unlocked the door and stepped aside to let him in."You are going somewhere?" He asked again as Willow closed the door behind them."Yes, I was planning to." She turned to him, her eyes brimming with unshed tears."Where?" He asked."Home." She said. "I needed to talk to you. But you are already here.""You heard about Natalie." It wasn't a question, but a statement that hung in the air between them.Willow nodded."And how did that make you feel?"It was a difficult question. She knew the answer and she hated herself for that answer."I don't want her to go to jail." Willow finally spoke, deciding that for once, she would not be a coward.She let out a humorless chuckle as she walked over to her couch and plopped down on it, looking up at Knox and gest
The CEO's Gold Digger 93. Call From A Friend
_________________...The call came during her lunch break.It was Thursday and she had not heard from Natalie or Knox since Natalie's visit.Willow wanted to call Knox and ask him if he was okay.She still was not sure if she wanted to give him a second chance but from what Natalie told her, Willow understood his stand and she also realized that she could not blame him for it.Natalie was his sister - protecting her had been his responsibility since the day she was born. He was wrong in his way but his intentions were not vile.Yeah, yeah. Keep defending him. How can you forget that he is as much a sinner of your family as Natalie is?Her inner voice was relentless in its criticism of her.Maybe Willow was too forgiving. Maybe she was just dumb and desperate for Knox. Or maybe she had accepted the fact that as she had tried to convince Natalie so many years ago, she was only a kid when it happened and he was just trying to protect her. And what could punishing Natalie achieve now?
The CEO's Gold Digger 92. Immense Love
___________________...Willow started awake from another erotic dream, her panties drenched and her nipples rock hard.It had been three weeks since their night on the beach and she hadn't heard from Knox since.They had said their final goodbyes, and she had offered to see him off at the airport.But he had declined."I don't want to walk away from you again." He had said.Willow sighed into her hand as she looked at the time. It was eleven in the morning. She was sleeping in on a Sunday because she had nothing better to do.Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She picked it up to see a text from the guard downstairs.GUARD: NATALIE WRIGHT IS HERE TO SEE YOU!!!!!Willow's heart stopped.Natalie.The woman who was like her own sister to her.The woman who had murdered her family.What did she want?Willow threw on a robe and rushed to the door, her heart racing. She had not seen Natalie since the day she had found out the truth.She had let the guard know that Natalie could come in.
The CEO's Gold Digger 91. One Last Date (18+)
_____________________...Work went excruciatingly slow.Willow's mind was elsewhere, replaying every moment of the night and morning with Knox on a loop. Her body felt like it was still buzzing with the aftershocks of their passion.But she had to focus. She had to get through the day.After a night of sleeplessness, one would expect her to be exhausted after the hectic work day but she was buzzing with life.She messaged Knox.WILLOW: Where are we going?The reply came almost instantly.KNOX: Nowhere fancy. Wear your prettiest casual fit.Willow rolled her eyes at his text but couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips.She didn't care if it looked like she was trying too hard.She put on a pretty lilac floral dress and white canvas.She tied her sleek short hair half-up and she put on jewelry to match.And she went for minimal makeup, blushing at the thought of it all being ruined anyway by their passion that was to follow dinner.Knox had told her that he would be picking h
