The CEO's Gold Digger 47. Cafeteria Chat
________________________...Damien laughed as he nodded his head. "I am seventeen and a high school senior.""Oh my god, I cannot believe it." Mia shook her head. They had moved to the hospital cafeteria."It's hard for people to believe it. Especially when I am with my baby-faced older brother. But it's the truth." Damien shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck."Well, you seem a lot older than that." Mia took a sip of her tea. "And wiser." She added as an afterthought which made him look up from his coffee."Thanks," Damien said with a slight blush. "But I am just a kid who's seen a lot.""It's not every day you see a kid who calls himself a kid." Mia nodded, though she was only twenty herself. She was also a kid who had seen a lot at a young age."You know," Damien began, his gaze thoughtful, "sometimes the truth is a lot harder to handle than a lie. But in the end, it's what sets us free."Mia paused. "What are you trying to say?"Damien leaned forward, his eyes meeting hers. "

_________________________...Willow walked gingerly from the bathroom, not wanting to disturb her equilibrium. She had been puking everything she ate and her world was spinning.Pregnancy was really getting to her. It was a wonder how she survived in the caffeine-infused kitchen of the cafe. Ironically, the strong scent soothed her even though she could not have it anymore.Trisha looked up from her book as Willow emerged. She had been staying with her since the whole paparazzi fiasco. She had become Willow's rock, the one she could lean on when everything felt like it was falling apart."Doesn't Danny boy want to spend the day with you?" Willow asked Trisha. "Why are you hanging around here on a Sunday morning?"Trisha set her book aside, her eyes filled with concern. "Because I care about you, Will, and 'Danny boy' can go kiss his own butt if he can't keep my hands off of me for a few hours."Willow rolled her eyes. Give it up to Trisha Panicker to be a Momma hen and a stone-cold

________________________..."Is that all you are here for?" Knox asked Natalie as she leaned back in her chair. "To give me a task?"Natalie's eyes searched his, looking for any sign of weakness. "No," she said softly. "I'm here to check on you. And to tell you that you need to get your shit together, Knox."Knox leaned back in his chair, surprised by her directness, which he should not have been because his sister was always direct. "What do you mean?"Natalie sighed, leaning forward. "You're drowning in this mess with Willow and Mia. You need to make a choice and stick to it."Knox felt a pang of guilt but he was not going to show her any weakness. "I know. I chose Mia, didn't I?""Then why did you call Willow fifty-two times in the span of the four hours I was there at her cafe?" Natalie asked.Willow had left the phone on charging by her and forgot. And Natalie had watched the unknown number keep on calling her. She had thought it was a stalker at first but then on asking her b

____________________..."You don't look too good today!" Ivanna noted as Willow stepped out of the staff restroom, looking like she was about to pass out."Thanks," Willow said with a small laugh, trying to play it off. "It's just morning sickness."Ivanna raised an eyebrow. "How far along are you?""A few weeks," Willow replied, hoping the lie wasn't too transparent.Ivanna's gaze softened. "Ah, I remember those days. It's tough, but it's all worth it in the end.""You have children?" Willow was surprised."Three," Ivanna said proudly. "Two girls and a boy. They're all grown up now, but I'd do it all again if I could.""And the father?" Willow knew she was prying but she couldn't contain her curiosity."The sperm donors and the birth givers abandoned them." Ivanna shrugged.Willow was confused. "What?""Adopted." Ivanna clarified.Willow felt a pang of sadness for the woman. "They're lucky to have you," she said sincerely.Ivanna waved it off. "It's all in the past. Now, let's get

_______________________...Willow found herself in front of the apartment Knox shared with Mia.Her heart was racing as she held onto the pregnancy test results in her hand. She had debated with herself over and over again whether she should tell him, but now she had Natalie's ultimatum hanging over her head. She took a deep breath and walked over to the doorman."I want to see Knox Wright. Can you tell him Willow Mason is here?" The doorman gave her a leer, very well aware of her reputation through the paparazzi. But he still called Knox on the phone.The elevator ride up to the penthouse was nerve-wracking. Willow felt like she was going to throw up any moment. But she had to do this. For the baby.When the doors opened, she was greeted by the sight of Knox standing in the hallway, his expression a mix of surprise and hope. "Willow, you are here!"Her eyes searched his, looking for any sign of regret or anger. "Natalie told me to come," she said softly.Knox's heart sank. He knew

_______________________...Knox didn't waste time. He felt like he had waste too much already and should not be doing it anymore.He made his way to the hospital where Mia was admitted.Mia was surprised to see Knox at the hospital because he had only left a couple of hours ago."Knox, I thought you said you had a few things to take care of regarding work?" Mia knew she would be an idiot for hoping but she still let herself hope that he had missed her, was worried for her and had come back to take care of her because he wanted to and not because of some self-imposed obligation.Knox took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. "I need to talk to you, Mia."The tone in which he spoke, it scared her. It was bad news. She knew that. But would she able to take it? That was the question.Mia nodded, her eyes wide with apprehension. "What is it, Knox?"He took her hand, his voice filled with regret. "I can't do this anymore, Mia. I can't keep lying to you, to everyone."Mia's grip tigh

_______________________...Damien opened the front door and was stumped to see Mia and Knox."What are you guys doing here?" He was surprised and a bit confused. He knew that Knox had been trying to contact Willow but he didn't expect them to show up together, especially after the way Willow had left Knox's penthouse.Mia looked at Knox, who took a deep breath before speaking. "We need to talk to Willow," he said, his voice firm. "It's important."Damien's eyes narrowed his protective instincts on high alert. "What's going on?""We are here with a solution for everything," Mia spoke up. "I swear, Damien, this will fix everything and even Willow will be happy. Isn't that what you want?"Damien's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Well, it's definitely what I want, but I doubt Willow will see it that way.""Who is it?" Trisha popped up behind Damien and on sighting Knox, got riled up. She hurried forward to beat him up but Damien caught her by her waist and pulled her back."Let me go, D

____________________..."I don't want you to move out of the apartment yet." Mia said as she settled back into the hospital bed. The last two hours out of the hospital had been taxing for her. She realized she did need to be there till next week.Knox nodded. "Of course, I'll stay. We can't have George finding out till the very end."Mia's eyes searched his, "Thank you, Knox."He nodded solemnly, the gravity of the situation weighing heavily on him. "What about your mother? She can't find out either."Mia's expression darkened. "My mother is the least of our worries. She's always been under his thumb.""Then what are you worried about?" Knox asked her."Willow."Knox was confused. "What about her? Don't worry about how she reacted there. She is hurt because of the bullshit I did. I know to placate my woman. We will be back together in no time, even if it requires me to grovel at her feet. I love her and our unborn child too much to let anything bad happen now." He said solemnly.Mi

__________________..."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

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.

___________________..."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.

_____________________...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
