All Chapters of The Billionaire's Prey : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Chapter one I sat at the bar, nursing my drink in my hands. It was rowdy, but I couldn't deny I needed the distraction. It had been two years since I left New York.“Hi. Mind if I join you?” I looked up to find the most beautiful man I had ever set my eyes on.“Sure, it's supposed to be a free world” I shrugged, trying to act non-chalant, when I was anything but that. He sat down on the stool beside me, never taking his gaze from my body. I couldn't deny that I loved his attention on me. I felt my skin burn with intense desire for this stranger. “I'm Elijah. You seem a little bit out of it” he said.“I'm fine. It's just the loud noise” I responded, averting my eyes from his hypnotizing ones.“You're at a bar. You should expect this.” “Hmm,” was my only response. “I didn't catch your name” he said. “I never told you…” I hesitated, unsure of how much I should reveal to him. “Maya”I looked at him, and just then I saw something flash in his green orbs. But it quickly went away as s

Chapter ThreeAs I stood in front of the sleek glass, I felt a sense of intimidation wash over me. Elijah was insanely rich. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me.I took a deep breath and walked over to the receptionist in front of me. “ Hi, good morning”, I greeted her, trying to hide my uneasiness.“Hi, can I help you?” she asked, her eyes still fixed on the computer in front of her.

And there I just spoiled any chance of looking confident in from of this receptionist who seemed to be a bitch.“Do you have an appointment?” She asked, finally looking at me. She eyed me, a look of disgust spread across her face. I also got a full look at her. She was quite beautiful.She was gorgeous. A Victoria secret model kind of gorgeous.“No, I don't. But I really need to see him” I hesitated.“You can't see him. You have to have an appointment to see Mr Elijah Ryker”. She said his name like he was a god. ‘He's a god in bed’

Chapter five I sat on the stool, my best friend, Tiffany, doing my hair. I looked beautiful, very beautiful, I couldn't deny it. Will Elijah like my new look? Would he go weak at the knees the same way I knew I would go weak when I saw him in those dark suits?Tiffany stopped, examining her work, a look of worry sat on her face.“What's wrong, Tee?” I asked her. “Are you sure about this? Maya, you're marrying a guy you barely know?” She said, her lips set into a frown.I forced a smile, looking up at her. “ I'm fine, Tee. I know it doesn't seem that way, but really, this is what is best. Elijah is what is best for me”“I don't know, Maya. I just don't feel good about this marriage. Why is he in such a rush? You've known the guy..for like three weeks? Minus the two weeks he was actually absent in your life” she said, refusing to see my point.“I know it seems crazy and unbelievable, but we're in love… I just know it, Tee. He's the one for me” I said, the lies going through my teeth s
