A Billionaire's Bargain 10 - Catching Up
Zayn's Pov"My man, where you at?" Caleb's voice boomed from the other end of the phone, he sounded excited. I ignored his use of slangs as I responded."I'm out, why?""Nothing, just that I stopped by your house and you ain't home, it's been a while and I wanted to catch up with my brother."I signed heavily. I have missed Caleb and his usual jokes and pranks. During our family meeting three months ago, he had said he was going on a business trip and would be away for a few months.I am enjoying my time with Araceli and didn't want to end it, but I have also missed my brother. Her gaze was focused on the lake, while she chewed on a slice of pizza."Wait for me bro, I will be home soon." "No problem, I will make myself comfortable and at home."I rubbed my temples with my fingers, "Don't go close to my bottles of henri jayer richebourg Caleb.""I would never." I can imagine him placing a palm on his chest as he swore not to do something I'm sure he has already done. I rolled my eyes
A Billionaire's Bargain 11 - Missing Her
Zayn's PovI didn't talk much about Freya to Caleb, I only hinted at him my suspicions of her cheating and me still being in the dark of who her partner is.He was clearly intoxicated, slurring his words, and in no state for a serious conversation.Honestly, even if he were sober, I wasn't sure I was ready to fully voice my concerns about my wife's possible infidelity, I didn't feel comfortable talking about it.It's been two weeks since that conversation with Caleb and I haven't spoken to Araceli.All I have done is yell out orders to her, send her emails to attend to and contracts to look into.She had knocked on my door on the first day, a smile on her face as she walked in. I could tell she felt more comfortable around me because of the time we spent together the previous night at my property. Her eyebrows had raised a noticeable arch at my tone while addressing her, she had seem confused at first, but had quickly adjusted to my behaviour. I have to admit I was surprised with how
A Billionaire's Bargain 12 - Mr Jealous(18+)
Araceli's PovI crossed my arms under my boobs as I stared at the man on the chair, his devilishly handsome face sat in a slight smirk, his hair was a bit tousled, he was still clothed in the suit he had wore to the office. His eyes held mine as I glared at him, how dare him show his face here? For two weeks, he has treated me with nothing but comtempt and anger, it was like the night we spent together didn't mean anything to him, I knew it was just dinner and a night of fun, but i had thought we made a little progress with our friendship.I swallowed heavily my throat weighed with the heavy feeling of anger and pain. The night we spent at his property had meant a lot to me and I had thought that it meant something to him too.Aside anger, I also felt a longing to seat on his thighs, run my hand through his hair, know what is on his mind, and the reason he had blocked me out.I wanted to know him, even more, I desired to know this mysterious man, to truly know all of him.I cleared m
A Billionaire's Bargain 13 - Bestfriend's Tea
Araceli's PovI wrapped my arms around neck, singing louding to the song playing from the home theater, with my hairbrush as a microphone. My voice filled the living room as I danced around, picking up clothes and straightening the mess scattered everywhere.I walked back and forth to my bedroom, organising the items in their designated position.My cheeks hurt so much from blushing, my thoughts were filled with the memory of my time with Zayn. I bite my lips trying to contain my smile, the thought of how his hands felt on my body had goosebumps appearing on my arms.I sat on the marble kitchen island, my legs dangling as I focused on my imagination, day dreaming about him.My phone notification dinged from the coffee table, I turned to glare at the device that had caught my day dreaming short.I hopped off the kitchen island, mumbling a few unpleasant words as I reached for the phone.Hey girl, I will be with you in two hours, kinda got stuck at the hotel.I rolled my eyes at the te
A Billionaire's Bargain 14 - Club Rendezvous
Araceli's Pov Clothes lay strewn on the bed and floor, a battlefield of discarded jeans, t-shirts, sweatpants, hoodies and dresses. I stood in the center of it all, arms crossed defensively as I stared at the shimmering silver dress Rilly held up triumphantly."Come on, Araceli," Rilly pleaded, her voice dripping with mock despair. "This night needs a little sparkle! Can you imagine Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome's friend swooning over you in that oversized sweatshirt again?"I rolled my eyes, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "First of all, stop calling him that. Second, I highly doubt that his friend will be paying any mind to me tonight, regardless of what I wear." I tugged my oversized sweatshirt down my thighs, "It's not like I want his friend to notice me anyway."I picked up a gown from the floor, it was my first choice of clothing for the night, but apparently, Rilly had complained about the dress having too much of a length to it."Maybe not impressed," Rilly co
A Billionaire's Bargain 15 - Office Saga
Araceli's PovThe cool night air hit my skin like a punch as we exited the club, the bouncers held the lady firmly, her loud voice still raining curse words on Louis who said nothing, his sole focus on Rilly. The atmosphere was a bit tense and we were all quiet.Zayn walked besides me and Louis walked with Rilly, a reasonable space between them. I looked at my bestfriend, her silence spoke volumes, her face, a mask of confusion and simmering anger. I let out a breath, but said nothing to her as I knew she wouldn't appreciate me hovering around her at this moment. She obviously felt ridiculed.Zayn rubbed his thumb against the back of my palm, I dipped my head in acknowledgement of his silent support.We got to the car park and a gasp escaped Rilly's lips, the woman, had left her mark not just on Louis, but on his expensive car. A long scratch ran across the body of the black Maybach S-Class, marring it's beauty."Man, this lady is crazy." Zayn spoke, his voice low."Good thing she di
A Billionaire's Bargain 1 - Mr Stranger
Aracelli's LoveI jolted awake to the blaring of my alarm, heart pounding as I glanced at the clock. 5:00 PM. I had to be at work at 8:00 PM, and I was still cocooned in my rumpled bedsheets, the late afternoon sunlight filtering in through the blinds. Panic surged through me as I fumbled for my phone, squinting at the screen through bleary eyes. Three hours. I had three hours to transform myself from this disheveled mess to the polished str*pper my boss expected.Throwing the covers aside, l stumbled into the small bathroom, the cold tiles shocking me awake as I turned on the shower. As the water cascaded down my body, I mentally recited my to-do list; pick out an outfit for tonight, order something to eat at drive through, feed the cat and drop off freshly made salads for Mrs Mackenzie, my sweet neighbor. But beneath the scramble to get ready for work, a gnawing worry tugged at my thoughts, working late into the nights was becoming a bother as some shi**y activities has been going o
A Billionaire's Bargain 2 - Infidelity
Fraya's Pov As the first rays of morning light filtered through the curtains, I stirred from my sleep, squinting as my eyes adjusted to the brightness. I gently got up, trying not to wake the sleeping male who was still snoring lightly. My mind was already reeling with the busy day ahead. I made my way to the kitchen and set the coffee machine whirring, the comforting aroma quickly filling the kitchen. I waited patiently, tapping my perfectly Manicured nails on the counter top as I watch the coffee brew. As I waited, I couldn't shake off the tinge of anxiety that had been gnawing at me, I haven't gone home in over two days.I poured the coffee into two black mugs, the steam dancing upwards. I carefully balanced the cups on a tray and ascended the stairs to the room. Caleb was still sleeping. I carefully placed the tray on the table and climbed on the bed peppering kisses on his head, cheeks and nose.He stired in his sleep, his eyes opening ever so slowly and I found myself getting dr
