When An Enemy Becomes A Husband My mother
Chance“I didn’t expect you here today,” I told Byron as I sat down behind my desk and he took a chair opposite of me.He handed me a folder. “Fuck, Byron. I hope this is not information you missed on the merger. We are closing today.”“It’s not about the merger,” he responded. “It’s about your ex-wife and Lilly.”I instantly tensed. “What do you mean?”“Your ex is digging into Lilly, slipping information to tabloids.”I tightened my fists, anger boiling in my chest. If there was a woman that deserved to be fucking eliminated, it was that bitch. There wasn’t a single bone in that woman’s body that worried about anyone else but herself. Her son was lucky to have his father, because he certainly didn’t get his manners from his alcoholic mother. For all my disagreements at Jonathan’s betrayal, I couldn’t take that from him.“What does she know?” I questioned him, as I ran through the folder. It seemed there were only facts there.“Not much,” he responded. “Facts only. It doesn’t prevent

LillyA knock on the door startled me and I quickly pulled away from Chance’s embrace. I already missed his arms around me - strong, warm, and protective. It was so easy to rely on him to make everything better.“Come in,” Chance called out. The door opened and a man walked in. Gray beard. Frown on his face. One hand in his white coat, a black bag in his other. A doctor?The memory of the last time I saw a black doctor’s bag resurfaced, and I quickly pushed it out of my mind. This wasn’t the time to remember those ghosts.“What is this emergency?” he asked, concerned as his eyes traveled around the room. When he realized there was nobody else, his eyes came back to Chance and me. “You realize I walked out on two other appointments to come see to this emergency.”Chance didn’t even flinch. “Dr. Craven, this is Lilly Walker. She has a bad headache.”If there was paleness to my skin tone until this point, it was certainly gone now. Heat climbed up my neck and into my cheeks. Chance call

ChanceThe dinner with the Ridley men was fucking annoying as shit. Especially the younger one. Junior’s face fell the moment he realized Lilly wouldn’t join us. I wanted to smash his face into the dinner table and make him forget ever seeing her.Overboard? Yes, just a bit.Did I care? Fuck no.The young prick was closer to her age, but he was a playboy through and through. He changed women like underwear, and he’d be bad for Lilly and her girls.Wonderful. Now I was pretending to be a knight. Lilly had been consuming my thoughts in the most unhealthy, obsessive way. My mind had been whirling for weeks, that goddamn contract hanging over us.I wanted something to tie her to me. A bit obsessive but fuck it. I couldn’t help it. It was the only way to control the outcome. For Lilly to remain with me.She had been giving me her body freely, I knew she wasn’t seeing anyone. Not that she had time between her kids and me. Yet, it wasn’t enough. I wanted to lock her in my house and throw awa

LillyTalking on the phone with my boss was a completely different experience than talking to him in the office. It was like flirting with a man.Not my boss. Not an intimidating billionaire. Not a controlling, obsessive man.It was just him.His soft chuckle over the phone had me smiling with happiness. The only other people on this planet that made me melt with their happiness were my children.“What are you wearing?” I asked, ignoring all the things he made me feel. I was in so damn deep with this man, there would be no getting over him.“I’m still in the same suit you saw me in earlier,” he purred. I could picture him, sitting in the back seat comfortably, his legs spread. If he was in his limo, maybe his partition was closed, and he stroked himself.I started fanning myself with my hand. Just the thought of his big hand over his length had me nursing flames and heat pooling in my lower belly.“Are- are you,” I cleared my throat, my voice breathy, “... are you in a limo with a par

LillyBefore I even opened my eyes, I sensed the pounding headache. The memories of Jack haunted my dreams. Self-doubt that my judgment was skewed. Just as it had been with my late husband.It was sheer luck that the fuck up with Jack hadn’t left a lasting impact on my daughters. Saoirse and Sierra were too young. And my eldest… well, she lucked out. Thank God. But if my judgment failed me again, my girls would be hurt. They’d already grown attached to Chance.“Two days in a row with a headache,” I muttered to myself as my feet touched the soft carpet.After a quick shower, I eyed my closet, wondering if Chance would fire me if I showed up in sweats. I scoffed in my head. Probably. So I continued going through possibilities until my eyes stopped on an emerald, tailored dress.Green like Chance’s eyes.Dress it is, I decided. Courtesy of the billionaire boss.My youngest two dressed, I ran around the house finishing the weekend bags.“Toiletries, check,” I muttered to myself. “Play sho

ChanceIt took me exactly ten heartbeats to realize what an ass I was and rush after Lilly. This jealousy around her had turned me into a fucking monster. I didn’t like it; she didn’t deserve it. Except, knowing she could have so much better than me made a wimp out of me.Approaching my fifties and I had lost my fucking shit. Not even finding my best friend in bed with my ex-wife impacted me like this. My thoughts drifted to the past.The machine guns and bombs blazed all around. Ambush. We fell right into it. I had one more day and I was out. One more fucking day.Screams filled the air. The scent of blood invaded my lungs. Hot desert sun burning my skin, along with the flames of the burning compound.My eyes roamed the area, death surrounding me. Nobody was supposed to know this location. Nobody but us. Yet, here we were. Getting attacked by the enemy.I made my way towards my men, cornered, shooting back at the enemy who was closing in on them. The desert sand felt heavy under my b
Last Updated : 2022-09-23When An Enemy Becomes A Husband She cried
LillyI stood in the street unsure where to go or what to do. An angry tear rolled down my face, and it was like a floodgate opened. I probably looked just as messy as my two-year-old when she cried.I walked aimlessly, barely seeing where I was going. The streets were busy with people ready for the weekend. There were a few curious glances thrown my way, but I ignored it all. My argument with Chance playing on repeat in my mind.I need a signed contract. I was a contract to him. Nothing more; nothing less. Maybe if I felt nothing for him, I’d be able to evaluate his words rationally. Instead, this hurt like a bitch. There was no chance in hell I could sign that contract. I was protecting him as much as myself. It’d destroy his carefully constructed life if my secret came out. And officially connecting myself to him opened the door to strangers digging into my past.I tilted my head upwards to see that the clouds turned gray. The sky opened and the rain broke through the clouds, match

Lilly“I want your full submission, Lilly.”Chance whispered in my ear, his mouth brushing against it, and his hard body pressing against mine. It all felt like heaven. He trailed kisses down my neck until he gently bit my collarbone, sending shivers down my body.“Tell me you’re mine.” His hot breath lit up my skin.“Yes.” My voice was barely a whisper. His signature cologne invaded all my senses. My fingers pushed through his hair, I pulled on the strands to bring him closer to me. I couldn’t get enough of him.“Tell me you’re mine,” he demanded possessively.I struggled to open my eyes. I never wanted to stop feeling him so close to me.Bang. Bang. Bang.I attempted to move my head to check the noise, but Chance’s mouth took mine into a hard kiss. And everything else faded.Another bang.Chance slowly faded away.“Where are you going?” I needed him to stay.Bang. Bang. Bang.“Lilly.” A loud shout pierced the fog.I struggled to open my eyes; my eyelids were too heavy. Exhaustion to

When An Enemy Becomes A Husband I love you forever
CHANCE - THREE YEARS LATERThe moment my driver passed through the gate, I couldn’t help the smile curving my lips. The immaculate lawn wasn’t so immaculate anymore. The quiet estate wasn’t so quiet anymore. The home wasn’t a lonely place to lay my head.Lilly and my home boomed with laughter, loud voices, occasional tears and arguments, but it was all worth it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.“Seems the kids had a good day, sir,” my driver remarked.He was right. If the driveway marked with chalk full of colors, bikes, and a kiddie pool were anything to go by. I still didn’t understand the need for a kiddie pool when we had a perfectly functioning real pool, but Lilly insisted it was better.So we went with it. She dragged me to Target and picked out the cheapest pool she could find. I’d do anything to keep her happy. If she wanted me to drain the Olympic size pool, so be it. As long as she continued smiling.The car came to a stop, and I grinned. Lilly sat at the doorstep of our m
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband I love you
SIX WEEKS LATER“Stop fidgeting,” Noona complained. “You are messing up your hair.”“Forget my hair,” I retorted with a wide smile. God, I was so happy I could burst. “It’ll get messed up anyway. Chance gets a bit rough in the bedroom. We’re trying out some kinky stuff after the ceremony.”I winked, a playful smile on my lips.“Jesus, why would you tell me that?” Noona giggled. “What happened to my reserved best friend?”I shrugged my shoulders, glancing at the woman staring back at me in the mirror. My brown hair fell in thick waves down my back, sunlight coming through the yacht window highlighting the warm tones in it. My whiskey brown eyes sparkled and reflected back at me with a happy gleam. Slight makeup accented my eyes, lips, and cheekbones. My beach tan was enough. It contrasted against my simple, white, strapless baby doll wedding dress that came to my knees and matching two inch heels. My baby bump was getting bigger by the day.I couldn’t believe I was getting married. To
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband Say something
LillyBright light streaming through the window woke me, and I slowly opened my eyes, blinded by it. I hadn’t felt this relaxed in weeks, and I smiled to myself. I went to move and felt strong arms wrapped around me. I remembered last night.Too much emotion burned.I swallowed and turned to see Chance’s handsome face. My heart swelled at the sight. I brushed my fingers over his dark hair, the words from last night dancing through the air. I loved him. My body nor my mind would ever want anyone else. He was it for me.My eyes roamed the space. We ended up in my bedroom last night.He said he loves me. My pulse fluttered remembering his words.I slowly shifted out of his arms, ensuring I didn't wake him. I got up and tiptoed around the room grabbing my clothes out of the closet, as quietly as I could, and went into the bathroom to pee. As I shut the bathroom door behind me, I exhaled and leaned against it. My reflection stared back at me, the mirror reflecting a dreamy smile and thorou
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband I made love too her again
ChanceMy woman.Fucking mine.I watched her sleep, her naked body a sight to behold. I’d never tire of watching her. Not in five years. Not in twenty. I’d grow old with her. Love her. Worship her.I fucking loved her so goddamn much that just the thought of losing her brought me to my knees.Tucking her body into me, I skimmed my lips against her temple. A small sigh left her lips but she didn’t stir. Jonathan said she tired easier.It turned out my best friend sleeping with my ex-wife was the best goddamn thing that could have happened to me. Our differences were settled, although I still refused to trust him.But I trusted Lilly.“You’re in my blood, beating in my heart. You’re my life,” I whispered against her temple. “My everything. Life without you would just be existing. I love you. In this life and the next.”Her dark eyes fluttered open and our gazes connected. Confusion and exhaustion lingered in hers.“Did I wake you?” I asked.A breath of silence.“I wanted to make sure yo
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband Come with me
LillyTonight’s dinner. At my favorite restaurant. With people I loved.I loved him. He was part of me, just as my girls were.Chance’s words playing in my mind. Over and over and over again. Marry me. Just like that? God help me, I wanted to, but I wanted his love even more.“Look, Mommy... we are beautiful!” Saoirse exclaimed, pulling me away from my thoughts. I caught her watching herself in the mirror, not an ounce of modesty on her face.“Girls, you’re going to turn vain if you continue looking at yourself in the mirror.” Then because I couldn’t resist, I smiled. “And yes, you look beautiful.”My little ones whirled around one more time.“Ok, lovebugs,” I murmured while hugging them. “Go play.”I smiled as they disappeared and I went to get myself ready. A quick shower, even quicker blow-dry, some mascara, and I was ready. My hair had gotten longer and even thicker with my prenatal vitamins. I couldn’t help but smile as I looked at my image in the mirror, the move reminding me of
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband The way
LillyThe next morning, we found ourselves on the beach early.Chance and Sophie eventually joined too. It was the downfall of a small village. It took all of ten minutes to reach all four corners of the entire village.“Hi, Mommy.” Sierra ran towards me with her chubby hands outstretched. “Mr. Paolo gave me an extra scoop.”I missed the days when the world revolved around ice cream.“Me too,” Saoirse exclaimed.“Free scoops are always the best.”“So this is where you’ve been hiding?” Chance sat next to me. Saoirse and Sierra left to play with their cousins to build yet another stone castle in the water.I glanced down to my bathing suit and regretted not wearing a one piece. The two piece white bathing suit revealed my little bump and next to Sophie’s knockout body, I felt a bit self-conscious. Although I had the best reason for it.“Hi there,” she greeted me. “I hope you don’t mind that we joined in.”“Of course not,” Jonathan replied before I could. He had eyes only for Sophie.Int
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband Future
LillyI rushed out of there like the devil was at my heel.Rick trailed behind me. “I don’t know how I’ll survive seeing him every day,” I whispered as I glanced over my shoulder.Chance’s intense gaze remained on me, the heat of it burning through me with promises of passionate nights, rustle of the sheets and filthy words against my skin.I shook my head, hoping to clear the images creeping up my mind. “I should have said a million per night, per room.”“He would have paid it,” Rick declared confidently. “Maybe it’s good that he is here. You can decide if you want to go after him.”I glared at him. “Did he look alone to you? Did you not notice that seriously gorgeous redhead next to him?”“I did.” He shrugged casually, tucking his hands into his pockets. “But I also noticed he wasn’t looking at her. His eyes were on you the entire time.”“That’s because he wants to talk about the pregnancy. When that man gets something in his head, he doesn’t let go. I’ve seen him in negotiations.”
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband The gifts
Lilly“Kristoff,” I breathed. “What a surprise to see you here.” Lie.Ever since the gifts, I knew deep down he was coming. Nothing and nobody would keep that man away when he set his mind on something.“No matter where you go, I’ll find you.” The deep sound of his voice did things to me I had no business feeling. Then the words sunk in. Unhealthy, my reason whispered.A loud, delighted screech and the moment evaporated through the summer breeze. Saoirse ran through the terrace. Chance knelt down before she threw herself through the air into his arms. Sierra followed, her eyes shining like the sea under the bright sun and the biggest smile her little face could muster.My heart stilled, the image burning right into my soul.Family. God, this felt like family.Our eyes collided, my heart slowed and the world ceased to exist. Just Chance and our kids. No, no, no, my kids.It was only then I noticed the woman beside him. A gorgeous redhead, wearing a classy white Greek summer dress with
When An Enemy Becomes A Husband Perfect moments
LillyWe danced in silence until the song ended when Rick stepped in.“Can I cut in?”“You already have,” Jonathan grumbled.I just chuckled and took Rick’s hand just as Daughtry’s song “September” came on. “Not exactly a dance song.”“That’s ok,” he told me, putting his arms around me. “We can just slow dance.”Our bodies in sync, we danced slowly, just as we did back in our college years. So much has changed. Almost two decades, time wasted on my late husband. Catch twenty-two though, because if I regretted those years, I wouldn’t have my daughters.Opting not to think about Jack, I focused on the words of the song. And damn if that wasn’t just as bad. The words tore at my chest and fragile heart. Since songs never made me tear up before, I mused. This self-revelation would be the death of me.An ache bloomed in my chest, remembering moments with Chance, like snapshots for perfect moments. Damn hormones. Tears burned the backs of my eyes, the ache traveling through my veins to my he
