The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Someone Hates You
DESTINY It was morning. The pale sunlight shone in my eyes from the windows above. I must have dozed off a few times. My body was stiff and sore all over from being in the same position for so long. At least it was light enough to familiarize myself with my surroundings.How long before the man came back? My stomach grumbled loudly. The sandwich I ate last night was long since forgotten, and I was starving. What I wouldn’t give for a cup of coffee, from our coffee maker at home. I missed James so much I wanted to cry. He must be going out of his mind by now.Would he have called the police? The man, Smith, or whatever his name was, would have probably warned him not to. Wasn’t that what they always did in these situations?Out of desperation, I struggled against the cuffs, and the chair moved slightly. Of course, the office chair still had its wheels, and I could move it. Why didn’t I think of it before?I had to use all my strength to move it, as it had accumulated a lot of dust and
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Finding Destiny
JAMES Mr. Smythe, the bank manager, met us in his office hours before the bank officially opened.“You have to understand, James, that this is an impossible amount. The bank does not have that kind of collateral lying about.”“Of course, Mr. Smythe. I know how it works. But this is a matter of life and death!” For fuck’s sake! Why can’t he arrange the rest with the other banks? I held onto my sanity by a thread.“Have you spoken to the police? Who is blackmailing you? We have a special unit…”“Charles, please.” Father held up his hand. “We can’t get the police involved. My daughter-in-law has been taken. Whoever this person is will not hesitate to hurt her.”“The FBI…”“He will kill her!” I slammed my hand on his desk, leaning forward, getting into his personal space. He had to understand that this was serious.Mr. Smythe leaned back in his chair to run a hand through his thinning hair. “But why in cash? It’s such a huge amount. Surely, they can’t expect…”“Unless they know we won’t
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Saved
DESTINYThe man was gone for what seemed an eternity, and I wished he would disappear from the face of the earth. Just leave me here, forget about me. Someone would eventually find me. But, of course, he came back.My bladder was fit to burst and upon seeing him, the need became more urgent. “I… I need the bathroom.”He rolled his eyes at me. But he bent down to cut my ankles loose. I considered kicking him in the face, but quickly changed my mind because he held the box cutter up to my face.“Don’t be a hero, Missus. I wouldn’t like to cut you.” He hauled me to my feet, shoving me toward the bathroom.“Are you going to let me go?” I hated the squeakiness in my voice.His response was curt. “Shut up and do your business. We have to move.”***Outside, the icy wind whipped against my body, and I shivered uncontrollably. More from fear than from cold. Smith opened the van’s back door and unceremoniously dumped me inside. I landed on my shoulder with a grunt. With a sudden sharp pain and
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Jealous Lover
JAMESShock, disbelief, anger. Those were only some emotions running rampart through my brain. The others I couldn’t even name. Pregnant! By whom?When I looked at Destiny, I could see her lips moving, but I couldn’t hear a fucking thing. I thought I was having a stroke.“But that’s impossible!” I heard her say when my brain finally caught up with the rest of my body.Fucking right!“Oh, I assure you, the test is accurate.” The doctor still smiled like he didn’t destroy my life with that one word.She cheated. She must have. Unless it is a fucking miracle, some immaculate conception. My balls clenched at the thought. Ronan fucking Walsh! He was about to die.“James?” Destiny reached for me, but I gave her a look that turned her to stone.Finally, the idiot doctor caught on. “Umm… I’ll give you two some privacy.” And he high-tailed it out of the room, closing the door behind him.I stared at the white paper on the bedside table. It lay there in all innocence, the clueless harbinger of
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Mother
DESTINYThe nurse gave me a mild sedative, which didn’t really help, because I was too angry. Angry, confused, disappointed, heartbroken. I read the report thrice to let the reality sink in. Pregnant. The look on James’ face… He didn’t believe that he was the only man I slept with. I know we’ve only known each other for a couple of months, but really? Did he think that little of me to believe that I would cheat on him?I don’t know how it happened. But he should be happy, shouldn’t he? Only he wasn’t. He said he saw the photos. I could kick myself. It was stupid not to have told him about it. Now I’ve gone and made it worse. Spoiling his friendship with Ronan, precisely what I didn’t want to happen.Not that Ronan, with his idiotic infatuation with me, is making it any easier. If James knew about it, he would flip his lid completely.But I don’t know if I want to go back home. I didn’t want to face an angry and accusatory James. And I certainly wouldn’t want to spend one more night a
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Family Ties
JAMES“You’re right, Ronan! This is the same guy and with Jenna.” I would never forget that sonofabitch’s face. Just goes to show you, I’ve underestimated that snake of a woman again.Ronan whistled through his teeth. “This is an interesting turn of events. You should take this to the police. But why do you have it in the first place?”I told Ronan that I had her followed because I suspected her of trying to get Destiny out of the way. What I didn’t tell him was that I had him followed as well.“So, what are you going to do about this, Jimmy?” Ronan turned the photo over and over in his large hand. “She’s got some explaining to do.”“Indeed.” I wanted to confront her, throttle the truth out of her. Also, I wanted to rub this evidence in my father’s face before going to the police.“I know that look on your face, Jimmy. You’re about to do something stupid.” Ronan shook his head at me. “It’s not worth it, mate.”“I have to fetch Destiny from the hospital.” I took the photo from him and
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Remorse
DESTINY James and I drove alone in the Bentley while Mother followed us with her Datsun. She said she needed her own transport to go to work.“I refuse to sponge on you and your husband’s hospitality. You don’t owe me anything and I can look after myself, Destiny. I don’t need anybody’s charity.” She told me after James loaded her and Arthur’s stuff in her car.“I didn’t say you did. But think about Arthur. It’s the least you can do.”“You’re not making it easy for me to forget that I was a terrible mother, aren’t you?”“Please, Mother! Let’s not get into this.”“Yes, let’s not. We’re attracting attention.” James interrupted our argument. James was right. People were staring and pointing at us. Of course, James’ car was unusual for this neighborhood.“Fine, alright.” Aurora fastened Arthur in his car seat, and James held my door open for me.For five minutes, neither of us spoke. Then James was the first to break the silence.“So, your mother? You were so angry at me that you went
The Wild Billionaire's Destiny Welcome Home
JAMES I had to walk away before I said something scathing. That woman! I would tolerate her only for Destiny’s sake. My sweet wife has such a forgiving nature, which I found endearing as it was something I am unfortunately lacking in.The manilla envelope in my bedside drawer burned me. I took it out to stare at the photo of Jenna with that bastard that took my wife. Of course, I should give it to your police, and I fully intended to. But before I do, I wanted to confront that bitch myself.Destiny mustn’t know about it. Not right away. She would give the game away. I want Jenna to hang herself with the rope I aim to give her.“James?” Destiny knocked at the bedroom door. I slammed the envelope back in the drawer. Why the hell did she knock? This was her bedroom too, for fuck’s sake. Although, I was relieved she did. I opened the door for her and took her into my embrace.She didn’t reject me, but she wasn’t welcoming either. “What is it?” I put her at arm’s length. Was she still a
