Mother in Law
Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire .Chapter 51: Mother in Law .“W-Why did you post this?” Isabella asks after a few seconds of staring at Alan’s phone with wide eyes.Because it will give him a shit ton of followers? Duh. “Because I have hundreds of hateful comments from people asking me what I’m thinking about my uncle dating a girl younger than me,” Harley explains. “By posting this, they’ll see that I already knew and that I’m okay with it. They will see that I don’t mind you and uncle dating even though we are exes”. “But… that caption makes it sound like I don’t care about the hate.”“That’s the point. You need to show them that their comments don’t get to you or they’ll never stop,” Alan says, knowing well enough that this photo will probably only increase the hate. It's not exactly a flattering angle for Isabella, and the side-by-side comparison with Alan compared to Isabella and Archibald makes it even more painfully obvious how young she is. “N-No, I– Please delete it

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 51: . Bones aching with a dull pain, Jake sat up in his disheveled bed and just sighed. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to have pulled a double shift, but he needed the money, even if he hated his job– if you could even call it that. Being ordered around by people in a mail room wasn’t exactly where he saw himself as a kid. He saw himself as maybe a powerful businessman, athlete, or engineer. But nope, not Jake. He realized around his first year of college that he should just go into the workforce. But god, he despised it more than anything. A satisfying pop was heard as he stretched his arms over his head and folded his long limbs out of bed, feet touching the carpet floor of his apartment. He looked over at the alarm clock: 10:06 AM. Nearly tripping over piles of dirty clothes, Jake stumbled out of his bedroom and toward the small kitchenette he shared with his roommate, Robbie. A stocky guy with curly black hair and a ve

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 52: electric, sacred, and so tender . “I’m Jake.” He said, extending a hand. “Aileen,” She replied, shaking it, smiling warmly despite the weather. Trying desperately to remember how to make conversation with somebody and failing, he felt his mouth begin to speak before his brain could think, “You’re pretty. I like your dress.” She looked even better in his coat. Aileen’s perfect lips curled up into an embarrassed smile, “Really? Oh, thank you. Bad decision though. Again, thanks for the coat.” Jake nodded and they looked up at the hiding moon together. “You from here?” She asked. Her perfume was floral, he could smell it. “Yeah, no. I only school here. Most weekends, I go back to the capital.” He was slipping, words slurring. “That’s nice, I just came for sight seeing, been bored at home and realized I had a small house here. Thank goodness I had friends from high school to meet with, they were the ones who invited me he

Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire . Chapter 54: Beginnings . “Follow me.” She smiled sweetly, leading James to the running shower. He felt like he was observing somebody else’s fantasy, he wasn’t there. Gone, somewhere in outer space. This wasn’t real, this couldn’t be real and yet it was, because he felt Aileen caress his cheek and his heart stuttered and he could hear her sugar-coated voice christened with worry. “Jake, hey? You there?” Aileen lightly chuckled, now holding his cold hand. She was so warm and inviting and and God, he didn’t know what he was doing. His eyes fell back down to earth. “I’m sorry- I know that I want this, I want you but I don’t know how to respond, fuck, Aileen I-” She held a finger to his lips and cooed, “It’s okay. I’ll take care of you.” His cheeks were burning hot and this was nothing like anyone that ever came before. This was so so very different. Every brush of a fingertip was electric, sacred, and so tender in ways he couldn’t be

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire .Chapter 55: Coincidences .At 12:45 Am, He found himself lying in Aileen’s queen size bed, in her floral sheets wearing a shirt from some music festival that was two times too big for her. He was almost certain that she’d tell him to sleep on the couch, but no. She insisted that they lay together, insisted that he shouldn’t go home but rather that he should spend the night and stay for breakfast in the morning. ‘It’d be rude of me if I just told you to go after all this. I like you. I want you to stay.’ She had said as Jake lathered conditioner in her hair. ‘You’re kind.’ And tears almost welled in his eyes because nobody had complimented him like this before or made him feel as special. He felt pathetic. But she didn’t seem to mind that he wasn’t at all good at talking dirty, or that she had to do most of the work. She favored gentleness. “The weather is changing” Aileen’s voice echoed through her bedroom, standing and looking out the windo

Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 56: Alia Bancroft .As Archibald strolls to get the door. Isabella pinches her fingers in distress. What if the woman doesn’t like her? What if she doesn’t accept her? What would she do? She would have to leave Archibald.Only once Archibald’s mother enters the living room does Isabella snap out of it. “Hi,” she says, showing a reserved smile as she comes closer and stretches out her hand. “I’m Alia Bancroft.”She had the image of Archibald’s mother in mind and this was not who she expected her to be. She looked so young for someone supposedly in her fifties. And so beautiful too. Archibald really had her face. “H-Hi,” Isabella stutters, despite desperately trying not to. Her hand is sweaty and shaky when she takes her hand. “I-I’m Isabella. Isabella Norman. Um... N-Nice to meet you.”“Archie’s girlfriend.” She comments tilting her head as she stares her up and down. “You are really pretty and young too.” The way her eyes are moving

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire .Chapter 57: Morning wishes .Chantelle stirred from her sleep, her phone buzzing insistently on the nightstand. With a groggy sigh, she reached for it, squinting at the bright screen. It was far too early for this.Who was the elf trying to disturb her beauty sleep? She groaned as the call ended and then a text came in seconds after. Lea was the one calling her? It must be very important! "Chantelle, check outside your window," her friend's text read urgently.Confused, Chantelle rubbed her eyes and walked over to the window. What she saw made her heart sink. A swarm of paparazzi, cameras flashing and reporters shouting questions. She blinked, trying to make sense of the chaos unfolding outside her normally quiet home.What was happening? Chantelle reached for her phone again and decided to go online. Maybe she could find out what was going on. Damn it! Why didn’t she answer lea’s calls! Her friend could have explained everything to he

Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 58: Sleepover .Since he was still trying to keep up a facade, Alan swallows down his anger when he sees his uncle handing Isabella money. Assuming Isabella was too miserly to pay for a cab, he claimed he had plans for tonight so Isabella would be compelled to take the subway and – hopefully – get harassed by paparazzi or other weirdos on her way back to Dara’s house. But of course she let her sugar daddy pay for it.Once he’s back in his room, Alan anonymously sends Dara’s address to some websites. Even though it’s a little severe, Alan feels like he has no other choice. The meeting with his grand mother went way too well, it seemed like she liked Isabella but if Isabella can’t even step a foot outside anymore without getting harrassed, then maybe she’ll finally break down and give up on Uncle Archibald. And then his uncle might drop out of the CEO race due to either heartbreak or he disqualified because he didn’t have a bride.Then

Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 59: Bonding .Alan isn’t sure he heard right. “He what?”“Isabella is staying the night with us. Until we figure everything out.” Archibald repeats before addressing his driver. “Thanks for helping out. Sorry for bothering you on a Saturday evening.”“Anytime. If you need anything else, just give me a call. Take care, Bella.” When the driver smiles at her encouragingly, Isabella thanks him with a tearful voice. Her eyes are puffy, probably from crying. “Can someone please explain what happened?” Alan demands as soon as the driver has left.“Some asshole ordered three-hundred-dollars worth of meals to Dara’s address,” Archibald says, pulling a sniffling Isabella into his arms. “And it caused a ruckus because they wanted payment and called the paparazzis to bombard the place as well.” “So? I-I mean...” Alan gulps when Archibald stares at him, “They don’t have to pay anything if they didn’t order it.”With a sigh, Archibald asked Isabella
Read moreUnderstood?
Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 60: Understood? .The first thing that comes to Archibald’s mind is that he does think Isabella is smarter than Alan, but he doesn’t say it. He would never. “In that case, I owe him an apology.” Sighing, he takes a bite of his burger. Lately, everything he says or does seems to be wrong… He just wants everyone to get along...After they’ve finished eating, Archibald visits Alan in his room. He’s is standing in front of the mirror, lifting dumb bells. “Hey… I wanted to apologize. It wasn’t my intention to show you up in front of Isabella or imply that you need his help. I just thought it would help you bond with her since you’ve been trying to make amends about the whole situation.”“Whatever,” Alan mumbles, not looking at Archibald.“I’m serious. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”“You know… maybe you should just worry about yourself and your bond with Isabella than about me and my projects I’m working on.”“What’s that supposed to mean?” Ar
