A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-two: A Glimpse of the past
It was the weekend and Amelia was in a cab, heading to her apartment in Texas. She’d just got off the plane that morning and was heading home to pack up her belongings and those of Dora. After Ryan’s confession, things between them had gone back to normal and he’d given her some space. In that time, Amelia had accessed the entire situation, and her life, thinking of James, her daughter and what was best for them. She realized she wasn’t being fair to James and in an attempt to move on from her hurtful past, she was dragging him into her issues with Ryan and was hurting him more. Deep down, she knew she could never stick around if she was in his shoes, hence, she wasn’t going to let him stay anymore. The best thing to do was let him go to find the happiness and true love he deserved because she could never give them to him, not when she has to pick between her daughter’s happiness.Dora was glad to have her dad back and she wasn’t going to ruin her cheerful mood by denying her of that
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-three: The Right Decision
Amelia stood on the porch of James’ home, her hands tucked in the pocket of her jacket and her eyes staring at the hardwood door, with her heart beating wildly. She knew the moment she knocked on that door would be the end of whatever she’s had with James. She was on the verge of tossing away all that they’ve shared together, both the good and bad memories and all of the times the man had cared for her, putting his feelings last and showering her with all of the love she craved. But still, it wasn’t enough.The sad reality hit her as she searched her heart, hoping to find one more reason to hold on but it was as if her mind had shut down. All that she was thinking of was how to make things right and to stop hurting him continuously. For the past few days, she’d gone over the incident at Ryan’s home when James had shown up unexpectedly and that alone was more than enough reason to let him go. She’d broken the trust he had in her.Glancing back at the cab that was waiting for her, and t
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-four: Old Friends
It had been two days since Amelia's abrupt break up with James and it had left him miserable and heart broken. He’d never felt so alone and disconnected from the rest of the world like he did, knowing Amelia was gone, not just from Texas but from his life. It wasn’t the first time he’d ended a relationship with a woman but it was the first time someone he loved dearly had truly hurt him, after he struggled to heal from what his ex-girlfriend had done to him a few years ago. Although all James wanted to do was to sit at home and mourn his broken heart and even wallow in his self pity, he couldn't do that because it wasn’t going to pay his bills. He had to show up at work and try to focus for the few hours he’d be there and maybe even drown his sorrow in excess work. His plan had been working well until their boss had informed them of the success of their partnership deal with one of the biggest companies in the business world. At first, it had sounded like an opening to success as i
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-five: His Assistant
Amelia stared at herself in the mirror, sliding her sweaty palms down her pencil skirt to smoothen the crease that had formed on her navy pencil skirt when she’d risen from the sofa in the room after wearing her heels. It was going to be her first day as Ryan’s assistant and she didn’t think she was ready to resume. She had no idea how it’d feel to walk back into that place where her story with Ryan had begun.Will she run into the employees that have been there the last time she went there? Will they question her sudden reappearance after five years? And will they link her appearance to Ryan?These thoughts crossed her mind but she knew it was inevitable at that point. She had no option but to show up at work and start getting used to the new environment and her new position as her ex-husband’s assistant. Releasing a deep sigh, she walked towards the sofa and reached for her bag, at the same time as Ryan stepped into the room.“Baby, are you ready?” he asked, but when she turned arou
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-six: His Assistant 2
“Ryan mentioned you needed some help settling in, so I’m here for you,” Sylvia stated, after settling into one of the leather chairs opposite Amelia’s seat. “Yeah… about that,” Amelia’s smile fell a bit. “It feels a bit strange to be back here, you know after everything that happened and…” Sylvia could see her physically struggling with herself and her choice of words, trying not to hint too much at the abrupt and sad end of her contract with Ryan. Deciding to make her feel comfortable and to avoid broaching the topic, she reached for her arm across the table, gently squeezing it. “It’s fine, Amelia. I get it and I totally understand you. But you should know it’s no trouble. You’ll be welcomed here and I’m glad to have you back,” Amelia’s smile returned, hearing the sincerity in the woman’s voice. During her stay at Ryan’s home in the time of their contract, she’d had the opportunity to associate with Sylvia a few times and she’d come to secretly adore the woman. She was very nice
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-seven: His Assistant 3
The moment Amelia was out the door, Selena’s condescending gaze was fixed on Ryan with disgust emanating from her but Ryan couldn’t care less as his eyes were on the door, anger brewing in him from Amelia’s disobedience. “So this is it, huh?” Selena said, breaking Ryan’s trance. His dark gaze landed on her and what she saw in them had her re-thinking her next words, while she also wondered how much Ryan had fallen for his employee. “You’ve now stooped so low to the level of sleeping around with your employees and you have no ounce of shame in you that you’ll even show off your illicit affair in my presence, the woman you were once…” But before she could finish her sentence, Ryan snapped at her, having had enough of her continuous presence in his life and her ability to always get a rise out of him with her judgemental words, while she failed to see how much of a terrible person she was. “I owe you no explanation, Selena, but if it’ll make you feel better, that’s my wife and the moth
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-eight: Punishment
Ryan watched as Amelia leaned over his desk, pressing her torso to the hardwood and lifting her luscious ass in the air. The sight had his cock surging to life and thickening in his slacks. He gulped before stepping towards her. Amelia’s eyes were shut tightly in anticipation of what was to come but Ryan was in no hurry to begin. He’d waited for the moment he could lay his hands on her and he planned to savor it and leave her beginning and wanting more for all of the times she’d teased him.He got behind her and grabbed her hips, letting his hands slide down her skin-tight skirt until he got to the hem. Slowly, he pulled it past her hips until the fabric was bunched around her waist, exposing her black lace panties that were barely covering her ass.A shiver racked Amelia’s body and goosebumps broke out of her skin in anticipation and anxiousness while she pulled her legs together. But Ryan wasn’t bothered. At the right time, he’ll get her to open up.His palms skimmed over her ass at
A Contract with the Billionaire Thirty-nine: Allies
It's a Saturday morning and James is seated in one of the booths of the fancy restaurant Selena had chosen for their meet-up. He’d flown into New York the evening of the previous day, and had spent the night at a hotel, to ensure he wouldn’t be late because he has other plans after he meets with Selena. He sat there sipping from a glass of juice and occasionally glancing at the entrance in hopes of seeing Selena but each time he was disappointed, it only revved up his agitation, his eagerness coursing through him, and making him ball and unball his fists. He tried using his phone as a means of distraction but it did nothing to take his mind off the millions of possible ways his meeting with his ex-girlfriend could go. While he wondered what Selena would think of his feelings for Amelia, he wasn’t the least bit bothered. If his ex-girlfriend was still the same gold-digging two-faced woman he knew, then she would surely jump at the opportunity he was about to offer her. After he’d con
