Rihanna's POV

My eyes went wide when I saw David on the TV screen. He was being interviewed and giving tips on how to make money. I couldn't believe it was the same David Marchetti I lived with. I tried to hide my surprise, but my mouth just wouldn't close.

I never thought David would get involved with the media, let alone be on live TV for an interview. My jaw dropped even lower when I saw him smile at a joke the interviewer made. David Marchetti, the stone-cold bastard I was stuck living with, actually smiled at someone? It felt like the world was turning upside down. Maybe he was finally going to set me free from the chains he had me in.

If someone had told me this would happen, I would have called it complete bullshit. David was incapable of doing anything but glaring and growling. But there I was, witnessing it with my own eyes. He smiled on live TV, and it wasn't just a tight-lipped smile. It was a full-blown, teeth-showing smile. I even noticed dimples on both cheeks that I nev

  • A Night With My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle   Chapter Thirty Seven

    David's POVIt was a bad day for me. The multimillionaire contract that I'd been trying to secure for months just slipped through the tip of my fingers and although I'd fired everyone responsible for that misfortune, I didn't feel satisfied. I never should have let them go, or at least I never should have let them walk back home on their two feet. I should have done something more 'David Marchetti' like to them. I should have made them pay for their foolishness.'It's not too late, you could always find them if you want.' A voice at the back of my head said and I took a large swig from my whiskey bottle to shut out the voice. Since I got back from work about an hour ago, I'd locked myself up in my room, chugging down alcohol because I was too mad at myself for letting those who brought me loss go scoff. Why did I do that?I'd asked myself that question over and over again and yet I couldn't come up with a logical answer. I glanced at the clock on my wall to see that it was almost

    Rihanna's POVNicholas found his stupid file. He found the file he was looking for. It turned out that his former secretary, who'd worked for him before I was employed, had taken it. And my bastard of a boss didn't have the decency to tell me about it. I never would have found out he'd find his damn files if Elena hadn't told me. I guess he didn't feel the need to share the news with a mere employee like me. Maybe he was avoiding having to apologize for wrongly accusing me of stealing the files. Honestly, I wasn't expecting an apology from him anyway. I knew him well enough to understand that he never admitted his mistakes, even when he was clearly in the wrong.As I walked down the hallway towards my office, I exchanged greetings with Elena, who always had a warm smile on her face. Just as I settled in my chair, the computer beeped. It was an email from Nicholas. I groaned and rolled my eyes, expecting one of his condescending messages. With curiosity and frustration, I clicked open

  • A Night With My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle   Chapter Thirty Five

    Rihanna’s POVEvery day, right before leaving the office, I usually switch on the "Do Not Disturb" mode on my phone. I couldn’t let David know that I had a phone. And ever since he returned my own phone to me, I'd been too caught up in texting Ivory to even check the other phone that Maria lent me."I swear I didn't see the message until now," I said sincerely.The message had warned of consequences if we didn't comply. What kind of consequences did they mean?Surely, he couldn't be considering firing me just because I didn't show up to work on a weekend, right? Even he wouldn't be that cruel."Um," I swallowed nervously. "Could you fill me in on the meeting I missed? If it's not too much trouble," I mumbled.He shot me a piercing look before saying, "A file is missing. A very important one." The way his eyes bore into mine when he emphasized "very" sent a shiver down my spine. "The file was in the drawer attached to your desk in your office. I accessed it myself three months ago, bef

    Rihanna’s POVI had never felt more relaxed than I did then. I never realized how much I needed a massage until Alicia’s invite. The masseur's hands moved efficiently around my oiled back, massaging slowly, releasing every knot caused by years of stress. His hands were so gently yet firm. It took everything in me not to release a satisfying moan as that would be too embarrassing and inappropriate given that it was a man giving me a massage. Alicia was on the bench next to me, a lady was in charge of massaging her because the man that was meant to, was late for his shift. I realized then that there was no better way to spend my Saturdays than that. It had been a long, stressful, and irritable week for me all of which were triggered by both David and Nicholas. I sighed wondering how I had to be so unfortunate to be involved with two of the most vile men that ever existed. Alicia called out my name, and I turned my head to listen. "Yeah?" I replied, it felt like more people called

    Rihanna’s POVDavid didn’t make himself scarce as I’d hoped for. In fact, he decided to stay indoors that Saturday, choosing to sit in the living room which made me stuck in my room because there was no way I was going to sit out there and watch my favorite TV show with him. If I wanted to get back at him, I knew I had to take a step back. But then, out of the blue, Alicia called me and invited me to a spa date. couldn't say no because it was exactly the escape I needed. She offered to pick me up at my house, but I refused ‘cause she couldn’t know where I lived. So I told her to text me the address, and I’d meet her there. “Where are you going?” David suddenly asked as I tried to sneak past the living room, hoping to go unnoticed, but the guy probably had eagle eyes or something."It's none of your business," I replied, keeping my voice low but still audible enough for him to hear.He whirled around, his face contorting into a frightening expression as his eyes scanned my outfit.

  • A Night With My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle   Chapter Thirty Two

    Rihanna’s POVI was hit with a wave of shock, embarrassment, and anger when I saw David walk out the door. My eyes were glued to it as I replayed the last few minutes in my head. It was hard to believe that he’d actually walked out on me and said all those hurtful words after kissing me the way he did, as if he wanted to swallow me whole. I didn't even realize I was crying until I tasted the salty tears in my mouth. And once I realized it, I couldn't hold back the floodgates. I had never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I mean, in all my twenty-three years, I'd never been rejected by someone of the opposite sex. And now, when it finally happened, it was in the most brutal way possible. A part of me felt like I deserved it, like it was some sort of punishment for even considering being with the man who took my parents away from me. I could only imagine how disappointed my mom would be if she knew I was thinking about being with him. I was supposed to hate him, to seek revenge fo
