The CEO's Gold Digger 53. The Proposal
_______________________...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

_______________________..."Thank you for meeting me here." Willow looked down at her shoes, not really knowing what to say.She and Knox were in front of the OB/GYN's clinic. It was the day of their first sonogram.Knox took a deep breath, his hand finding hers. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice gentle.Willow nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm just... scared.""Don't be," Knox said, reassuringly squeezing her hand. "We're in this together."They walked into the clinic, and Willow felt a strange mix of excitement and dread.The walls were painted in soft pastels, and the air was filled with the muffled sounds of babies crying and expectant mothers whispering.Knox checked them in, and they waited in the quiet room, holding hands.The nurse called them back, and Willow took a deep breath as she lay down on the exam table. Knox held her hand tightly, his thumb tracing circles on her skin as the doctor began the ultrasound.The screen flickered to life, and suddenly, there

_______________________..."I love you." "Oh." Knox's face fell."Oh?" He asked. "Is that all?" "Knox, I am confused." Willow sighed. "I don't know what to say to you right now." Knox gulped, wanting to say so much but he stopped himself and simply nodded, understanding her. "Take all the time you need, Willow. I just wanted to be honest with you.""There you are!" The both of them turned to the source of the voice. Natalie stepped out of Willow's house followed by a starstruck Mathew who could not get over the fact that Natalie Wright had spent the last ten minutes talking to him as she waited for Willow to come back from the doctor's. "Nat, what are you doing here?" Willow asked. "Show me the pictures first!" Natalie put her hand forward. "The rest can wait." Knox rolled his eyes. It was so like his sister to bulldoze on what she wanted without a care for what the other person had to say. Willow took out the sonogram pictures from her bag and handed it over to her. "Oh

_____________________..."Okay.""Okay what?" He was half asleep by now."I will marry you."Knox sat up straight, all sleep leaving his body."What?" He blinked, not quite believing what he had heard.Willow chuckled. "You heard me.""But... but why?" Knox stuttered, his heart racing.Willow raised a brow at him. "Aren't you the one who have been asking me to marry him for the past couple of days?""I know but... I just didn't think you'd say yes." Knox was genuinely surprised."Well, I have," Willow said, taking a deep breath. "But on one condition."Knox's heart dropped. "Condition?"Willow took a deep breath. "I want a real marriage, Knox. No more secrets, no more hiding. If we're going to do this, we do it together, as a family."Knox's eyes searched hers, feeling the weight of her words. "I promise you, Willow. I will tell you everything. No more secrets." She didn't catch the way his eyes averted for just a second.The room grew quiet again, the only sound being the distant

____________________..."What do you want to talk about?" Damien asked as soon as the two men stepped out of the hospital room.Knox took a deep breath, his hand sliding into his pocket to grip the ring he had bought for Willow. "I know what it looked like, but I swear, I didn't mean to lead Mia on. She's just going through a lot, and I was trying to be there for her."Damien's expression remained hard. "You know how much Willow has been through because of you. You can't just play with her heart like this.""I'm not playing with her heart," Knox said, his voice firm. "I love her. And I know I've made mistakes, but I'm trying to fix things."Damien's expression didn't soften. "Well, you've got a hell of a mess to clean up," he said, his eyes still cold. "And if you hurt her again, I'll make sure you regret it."Knox wanted to point out that a seventeen-year-old could not do much to hurt a affluential man like him, but he kept quiet."Why are you here, by the way?" Knox asked.Damien

__________________________..."Melanie's here?" Willow was stumped. "When did she get back? Is she okay? Is the fracture fully healed yet?"Natalie rolled her eyes. "She's been back for a week, and yes, she's okay. I didn't want to overwhelm you with everything's that's been going on so I didn't tell you. But today, she lost all her patience and demanded to see you. So here I am.""Oh, Nat, I'm sorry," Willow said, feeling guilty. "I've been so caught up in my own drama.""Shut up. If anyone's to blame, it's my stupid brother." Natalie didn't bother to lower her voice, and Willow felt a flicker of annoyance. She knew Knox had his flaws, but she didn't like hearing him talked about like that."Look at you, getting mad on behalf of your fiancé." Natalie let out a laugh when she saw the look on Willow's face."Does Melanie know about the engagement or the... baby?" Willow chose to ignore the teasing and asked questions that needed answers."Neither of them." Natalie sighed. "Which is

_____________________..."What do you mean you don't have a plan yet?" Melanie seethed at her eldest son. "Surely, you must have thought of something before proposing to Willow."Knox shifted in his seat, his hand running through his hair nervously. "I did, I do," he protested. "We're just keeping things low-key for now. We'll figure it out.""You should have figured it out before you took the step, Knox!" Melanie was very disappointed. "Look, Willow has been through so much and she will continue to go through the same bullshit until you fix her image in front of the media. And you need to do it fast, we don't need those vultures attacking her ever again, not in the delicate condition she is in."Knox nodded solemnly. "You're right, Mom. I'll talk to Mia and see what we can do.""Why are you still talking to Mia?" Melanie did not like the woman who had come in between him and Willow. She didn't want to try to get to know her. "Mom, it's complicated." "Then uncomplicate it." She s

__________________..."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.

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.

_____________________...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
