Parker Rooney Now Novels & Stories

Charlotte said angrily with a long face. I was a bit confused and had no idea what happened, "Mrs. Parker, what are you talking about? I don't understand." "Stop acting in front of me? Nowadays, there are countless photos of you and Luke online, and your affair is the trending topic! Do you still want to deny it?" I was shocked by what she said. I quickly took out my phone. As soon as I saw the news, my face turned pale instantly. "Surprise! The daughter of the president of Watson Pharmaceutical privately dates with the assistant president of the Parker Group!"

Resisting her was becoming more difficult than anything he'd ever faced. These feelings were maddening, but he couldn’t deny them. They were no longer children; she was now a twenty-four-year-old woman who had just been heartbroken over someone who wasn’t him. The thought twisted inside Parker like a knife. His jaw clenched as he pulled out his phone, eyes dark and menacing, as if he was ready to tear someone apart. “Mr. Prawit, I need you to investigate something for me. I’ll send you the details shortly. Make sure it’s handled,” Parker said, his tone leaving no room for doubt about the seriousness of the request.

Here we were. “So?” He looked at me as if he didn't understand me. “How does it feel to see how you were so fucking wrong in every way? By now you already know all about me. Do you sit in front of the tv to watch the news about me, Parker?” He scoffed.

“Mr. Parker. This is Ms. Neriah Russell, one of the contestants for the upcoming reality show.” He looked past the receptionist and landed his eyes on me. He looked like he was in his late thirties, maybe early forties. His hair is brown with whites at the temples. He has a neat and tidy beard with a dusting of white hair peeking through. He has lines at the corners of his eyes and light green eyes. He looks professional but serious. “You may leave now, Ina,” he said, dismissing Ms. Snooty. When she left, I extended my hand. “Mr. Parker, it’s nice to meet you.”

Parker, who rushed in and shouted at them to stop. "Dr. Lawson, stop this at once! Ryan… suffered a heart attack yesterday and passed away."

I moved to the couch to let them have their turn. "Are you guys ready?" Parker asked, rubbing the center of his palm with his thumb- something he did when he was nervous. "Your plan may actually work, so I'm so glad I never stopped you from watching all those spy movies." Drake told Parker. "You tried, but I kicked your ass." Parker raised his chin in triumph. "No you didn't." Drake was visibly annoyed. "Yes, I did."

Sage had sent the divorce papers, and I was expecting a child with the woman who was responsible for so many bad things that had happened in my life. The call ended before I could see the caller. I groaned and squinted my eyes slowly, then glanced at the phone. It was Parker. Parker never called unless he had news for me. Before I dialed his number, he called back. “I’m currently in front of a private hospital at the outskirts of town.” He said. A slight frown creased my brow. “And? Did something happen?” I wondered if he went on his undercover tasks and encountered an accident.

The scent of coffee, honey and cinnamon hits before we even step through the door. Inside, Parker is at the stove seasoning a giant pan of porridge like he is auditioning for a wholesome cooking show. His hair is stuck up in every direction, and he seems different somehow, but I can’t put my finger on it. He is wearing sweatpants and one of my shirts. Why is he wearing my shirt? I stare at him. “Morning.” “Good morning,” he says, way too cheerfully. Ryder smothers a laugh. Remy shifts back and immediately blurts, “What happened to you?”

Parker cleared his throat over the mic. "May I have your attention, please? I am delighted that everyone could join us for this celebration." I saw Mrs. Parker standing beside him with a sweet smile. She noticed me standing next to Adrian and her smile widened. "It's been almost 27 years since I married this beautiful woman, and it was one of the best decisions of my life," Mr. Parker said, holding Mrs. Parker's hand. "We also have a very special announcement. Today, our son Adrian Parker is going to begin a new phase of his life," he continued, and Adrian excused himself, walking toward the stage.

He doesn't know that the man standing before me is not the one I was supposed to be standing with. Blake Parker. Twenty-four year old Co-CEO of The Parker Brothers. A billion dollar company that deals with selling buildings for profit and pressuring people to sell their land and companies to them. He is a lady's man and sure does love his booze. He has never liked me, probably thinks I'm after his brother's money which makes me think that he has a personality disorder considering that he is always against his brother.
