The CEO's Gold Digger 59. The Mother-In-Law
__________________________..."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

______________________..."Is it okay for you to be here right now?" Willow asked gingerly as the two of them sat in front of the television, flipping through random channels."Darling, we are getting married, we are having a child, and I just fucked you a while ago against the front door of your house-"Willow gave him a glare at the mention of the last deed."-Hey, don't look at me like you did not enjoy it!" He held his hands up in surrender but got swatted on the chest nevertheless."It's not that," Willow sighed. "It's just that we are supposed to be keeping this a secret. What if someone saw you come in?""Then they must have seen me come in already." Knox shrugged. "We can't change that. Now, we don't want them to see me go out in the middle of the night either, do you?""What if someone did already see you and is waiting to see if you leave or stay the night?" Willow continued to question.Knox let out a sigh. "Then that means they don't have a life.""I don't want any more

_____________________..."What am I smelling?" Trisha asked as she sauntered into the kitchen and paused when he saw who was at the stove, cooking up breakfast. "Knox? What are you doing here?"Willow turned around from where she was having a hearty breakfast and grinned toothily at her best friend. The sight had the older woman's heart melting."Am I not allowed in my fiancé's kitchen?" Knox looked up and narrowed his eyes at the woman who had once almost dislocated his jaw.Trisha blinked. "It's just that..." She looked over at Willow for help. She didn't want to say anything that would cause further animosity between them and she knew she could not trust herself with her tongue."You're surprised?" Willow took a bite of her toast, watching Trisha with amusement. "Why are you surprised?"Trisha gave her a flat look. "You were supposed to help me, not tease me." She rolled her eyes and took a seat next to her best friend.She dipped her head down in the direction of Willow's flat

__________________...It was Monday.It was the day Mia was getting discharged from the hospital.She had expected at least her mother to show up but only Knox had arrived to take her to the apartment that they shared like roommates."How are you feeling?" He asked her as they got into the car, not unaware of the flashing in the distance. The paparazzi were cooking up their next story. "I hope those vultures write some shit about your parents' absence on this day."Mia let out a humorless chuckle. "Given who my parents are, they will only write some sob story about how heartbroken they are for not being able to show up since they are away on some charity mission to save the poor.""Fucking George," Knox swore under his breath.Mia shrugged. "It is what it is, Knox. Can you take me to the apartment now? I miss my room."Knox nodded, his eyes on the road as he maneuvered the car through the traffic."Mia, I need to tell you something." His voice was gruff, betraying his inner turmoil

_____________________...Willow opened the front door and was stumped to see all the bags in Knox's hands."What's going on?" She asked."I am moving in." Knox gave her a boyish grin.Willow's eyes widened. "What?""I talked to Mia. She understands that you and the baby need me." Knox said, stepping inside, his heart racing. He had never felt so alive.Willow took a step back, her eyes searching his. "But what about the press, your image?""Fuck the press and my image," Knox said, dropping the bags and pulling Willow into his arms. "I can't stand being apart from you anymore."Willow's heart fluttered at his words, and she couldn't help but lean into his embrace. Despite everything, she felt safe with him. But she knew the reality of their situation was far from simple."What about your engagement?" She whispered, her eyes searching his. "Did you break it off?"Knox hesitated. It was not that simple and he did not want to worry her. Also, he could not tell her the whole truth until

_______________________..."How much?" Natalie asked."Excuse me?" Zach Herbert sat on the chair opposite hers."How much money do you want to keep your mouth shut?" Natalie repeated, her voice firm and unwavering.Zach's eyes narrowed, the smug expression on his face fading into something akin to disbelief. "You think you can just buy my silence?"Natalie leaned forward, her expression steely. "I know your kind, Mr. Herbert. You're a bottom-feeder. You live for scandals and the misfortune of others. I'm willing to pay for your discretion."Zach leaned back, his smugness returning. "Miss, you're playing with fire. You think you know everything, but you're just a pawn in Mia's father's game."Natalie's eyes flashed. "I'm not a pawn. I'm a player, and I know exactly what's going on.""Do you now?" Zach said, his tone mocking. "Tell me, what do you think you know?"Natalie's grip tightened on the chair. "I know enough to realize that you're here for the story, not for the truth."Zach

___________________..."What on earth is going on here?" Susan asked as she and Trisha walked in on the party in Willow's living room that evening.Mathew had joined them in the morning and now all four of them were watching an action movie and Willow was crying over the most ridiculous scenes."It's hormones!" Damien shouted over the explosions on the TV. "I swear she cries at commercials now!"Trisha chuckled, setting down the bag of takeout she had brought. "It's sweet that you guys are here to keep her company. But don't you all have work and school?""I'm the boss," Knox called from the kitchen, where he was setting the table. "I can take a day off when I want to."Mathew looked up from his spot on the couch, his hand resting protectively on Willow's shoulder. "And I'm unemployed," he said with a wink. "So, no work for me.""You are not unemployed, babe. You are self-employed." Susan winked at her boyfriend."That's not what our parents say!" Damien rolled his eyes."Shut up,"

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!

__________________..."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
