The CEO's Gold Digger 36. Makeover
___________________...The next few days, Willow's friends took turns babysitting her. She was scaring everyone. She hadn't bathed or brushed in these days. She just sat in front of the TV like a lifeless doll.Mathew was an artist and on a break so he was the one who was with her while Damien was at school and the girls were at work."You look tired," Mathew observed as Willow stared blankly at the TV."Thanks," she replied sarcastically. "I've gotten a lot of sleep. Again."Mathew rolled his eyes. She had dark circles under her eyes and her hair looked greasy. He took a seat beside her on the couch. "You know what you need?""What?" Willow asked, her voice devoid of interest. It was clear that her initial attempt at bravado, Willow was slipping into depression.Mathew grinned. "A makeover!" He exclaimed, jumping up from the couch. "You need to get out of this slump and show that Knox guy that you are still the queen of this town!""I was never the queen of this town." Willow roll

___________________...Someone posted a video of what happened at the salon. And The KNIA shippers partly bashed Willow and partly celebrated that now she had a new prey, she would stay away from their KNIA.Mia saw it as she sat alone in her bedroom, the door locked tightly behind her. She had hoped to avoid any mention of Willow today, but apparently, the universe had other plans.Her heart raced as she watched the video of Willow with a new haircut, looking more radiant than ever.Her mind spun with thoughts. How could Willow move on so quickly? Was she not still in love with Knox? And who was this new guy, with his arms around her? It relieved her to see that Willow had apparently moved on.But she was also scared. She was scared of how Knox would react.And this man was different from the man she was with last time.Was Willow Mason as promiscuous as the media made her out to be? The questions swarmed in her head.But then again, this man or boy looked much younger. Was he eve

____________________..."It's Mia Thompson." Willow said. "What is she doing here? Did you bring her?""What? No!" Knox was as surprised as Willow. "I didn't tell her where you live!"The doorbell rang again, more insistently this time. Willow felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She didn't want to face Mia, not now, not ever again. But she knew she couldn't avoid her forever. With a deep breath, she opened the door.Mia stood there, looking every inch the perfect fiancée in her designer dress and perfectly styled hair. But her eyes were red-rimmed, and her cheeks were tear-stained. She looked at Willow with a mix of anger and despair. "What the hell is going on?" she demanded.Willow's heart felt like it was being squeezed in a vice. She hadn't expected this confrontation, not so soon. "It's not what it looks like," she began, but Mia cut her off."I am not talking to you. I am talking to my fiancé." Mia had never sounded so cold in her whole life.Willow looked at Knox who had

_________________...A month passed by. Willow had moved back into the run-down house of her grandmother. The place was a curse. She could not sell it or rent it out because her grandmother had left a will saying Willow could not do anything with it until she was twenty-five. That was two years away.Knox did not get back to her with a bill and the facility did not let her move her mother because the bill was not paid.Willow knew it was a lie. There was no way the bill wasn't paid. She knew it had something to do with Knox.But she didn't have a job. So she couldn't pay him back yet.And she had other things to worry about.Like the two lines on the home pregnancy kit she was holding.Her hand trembled as she stared at the result. Willow couldn't believe it."How could this happen?" She whispered to herself, her heart racing in her chest.She wanted him out of her life. She wanted to forget that he ever was a part of her life. But instead, the universe had sowed his seed in her wo

______________________...George Thompson broke a glass of whiskey as he stared at his computer. Somebody had gotten to his slush fund.His eyes searched for any clue, any trace of who could have done it. His heart was racing and his fists were clenched.The rage grew in him like a tumor that had just been poked. He had to find out who it was. And when he did, he would make sure they regretted their actions."What was that sound?" Mia appeared. The wretched girl had moved back into his house after a fight with Knox a month ago. She had one job - seduce that man so that he could be wrapped around George's finger but this useless girl was doing something else. At this rate, she would never win Knox's heart."Get out!" George bellowed, not even bothering to hide his rage.Mia stumbled backward, her eyes wide with fear. "What? What did I do?"But George was beyond listening. His rage had taken over. He marched towards her, his hand raised. "You're useless!" he shouted. "You can't even

_________________________...Damien had come to the hospital to visit a friend who had gone through a serious surgery. The corridors were a blur of white and the smell of antiseptic filled the air as he walked to the recovery room.As he rounded the corner, he saw a nurse pushing a wheelchair with a young woman slumped in it. Her face was a patchwork of bruises and her eyes were swollen shut.Damien felt a pang of pity for the stranger, but something about her seemed eerily familiar. Then it clicked. It was Mia, Knox's fiancée.He stopped dead in his tracks, his heart racing as he took in the extent of her injuries.Mia's head lolled to the side, and she didn't seem to notice him. The nurse was busy with paperwork, her attention elsewhere. He stepped closer, his heart aching for the pain she must be in.As he approached, she stirred slightly, and he saw the glint of recognition in her one open eye."Ms. Thompson?" he said tentatively, his voice barely above a whisper.Mia's bruised

_______________________..."You need to get out of the house, Will." Susan sighed. It was a Saturday and Susan was camping out at Willow's place. Trisha, well Trisha had been busy with Daniel Ames since the previous night but she had sent Susan a message that she would take over babysitting duties in the evening so that Susan could have the night with Mathew."What if someone finds out I am pregnant?" Willow asked.Susan rolled her eyes. Her best friend was being too paranoid. "You have a flat tummy, lady. No one will know for a while.""But what if they do?" Willow fretted."You're not going to hide forever," Susan said firmly. "You need to live your life. We'll deal with the pregnancy on your terms, but you can't let fear dictate your every move.""But what if Knox finds out?" Willow's voice was a whisper, her fear rational enough. "What if he asks me to get rid of the baby?" "Then we'll deal with that when it comes," Susan said with surprising calmness. "For now, let's just foc

____________________________...Damien reached the hospital emergency room, panting."I am looking for Willow Mason?" He threw himself at the first person he saw in scrubs.The nurse looked at him with a mix of annoyance and concern. "Are you family?""I am her brother!" It might have been a lie genetically but in their souls, it was every bit the truth.The nurse nodded and led him to the room where Susan was sitting by Willow's side. She looked up as he entered, her eyes red from crying."What happened?" Damien demanded, his voice tight with worry. "What happened, sis?"Willow managed a weak smile, her eyes flickering to Susan before returning to Damien. "I'm okay," she assured him. "Just fainted."Damien's eyes searched hers, looking for the truth she wasn't quite ready to give. "What's really going on?" Susan took a deep breath, "It's Mia." Damien's brow furrowed in confusion. "What about Mia?"Susan took a deep breath before explaining the situation. "Mia was assaulted, and th

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
The CEO's Gold Digger 94. Forgiven And Wanted
___________________..."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
