“You’re my first everything, Lacey.” Jonathan’s piercing grey eyes seemed to hold Lacey captive. “My first kiss…The first woman to ever make me feel this way…I love you.” A public divorce from her husband leaves Lacey Thalmes with nothing. When her friends convince her to go to a party to forget her worries, she ends up sharing a steamy kiss with CEO Jonathan Taley. Except Lacey doesn’t find out his identity until two years later, and their re-meeting is not exactly rosy. Cold-hearted Jonathan Taley cares about two things only: his company and his younger brother. That is, until Lacey shows up in his life.

A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CEO CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
“You–”“Don’t speak, Thomas.” Jonathan rudely cut the other man off. He stood at the window of his office, staring out at nothing in particular. The reason was so that he didn’t lash out at the other man, and got his emotions in order. As the image of Thomas choking Lacey came back to his mind, Jonathan squeezed his eyes shut. If not, there was no telling what he would do to the man seated behind him. Riley asked him to handle it without fighting, but the last thing he wanted to do was to be lenient with the man who just assaulted the woman he loved. “Mr. Taley, let me ex–”“Shut up, Thomas. If I hear another word from you without the clear permission to speak, your contract with JT Entertainment will be cancelled.” It was impossible to cancel Thomas’s contract just for him speaking, but Jonathan wasn’t above finding a clause that would ensure that the actor got put out of his company. In any sense, Thomas zipped his mouth and didn’t utter another word. Moving away from the window

“Take the day off. You don’t want to set Thomas off again, do you?” It wasn’t easy to push the memory of Riley’s evident hate as she accused her, but Lacey couldn’t dwell on it then. Not as she walked back into the practice room, disrupting them for a second time that day. Under the watchful and judgy eyes of her fellow actors-in-training, she picked up her bag before leaving the room. The feeling was exactly what Lacey imagined a walk of shame would feel like. Except the shame came not due to her own actions, but someone else’s. Arriving at the basement, Lacey played the whole scene in her mind. Funny how the whole thing took just about a few minutes, but somehow ended up dismantling all the things she’d worked for over the past month and half. “I don’t have to tell you not to tell Jonathan, right?”Definitely not. And risk embarrassing herself and souring the relationship between Jonathan and Riley? Lacey didn’t know what exactly the relationship between Riley and Jonathan was,

“Jonathan!” Picture this: the CEO of a well known company on the ground, straddling his actor, while he proceeds to beat said actor into a pulp. It hadn’t happened yet, but judging by the first punch, Lacey knew Jonathan wasn’t going to stop at one. And therein lay the problem. His closed arm in a fist, raised to hit the loudly groaning Thomas, Jonathan stopped when he heard Lacey shout his name. She shook her head frantically, a sign telling him to stop. Looking away from her, Jonathan stood up before grabbing Thomas forcefully and pulling him up by the collar of his shirt. “What do you think you’re doing?” Pushing Thomas against the wall, Jonathan kept him captive with his elbow. “Hitting a woman, do you have no shame?”“Jonathan!” This time, it wasn’t Lacey who shouted his name, but another newcomer on the scene. “Release Thomas this instant.” When he wasn’t quick to obey, Riley rushed over and pulled him away. “Do you want to see yourself on the news? I can already see the hea

“Have you lost your mind, Thomas? Let go of me!” In an attempt to free herself from her ex-husband’s strong grip, Lacey shook herself around wildly. When that didn’t work, she dug her heels into the ground to stop her movement, but Thomas was much stronger than her, and easily pulled her along. “Stop, Thomas. Stop, I’ll go with you. You don’t have to drag me.”There was a reason she said that. It wasn’t as if they were alone, but all the people they passed by all watched silently without making a move to help Lacey, and that was so embarrassing. Exasperated, she accepted her fate and didn’t dare protest anymore. What was the use?Thomas didn’t speak, but he did turn a glare at her before slightly shoving her away. The arm he held onto was already sore. Lacey winced, rubbing it gently. “Follow me.” Thomas growled, pointing a threatening finger at her. As a last plea for help, Lacey tried to make eye-contact with some of the people in the hallway, but they all turned their faces when

Lacey’s gaze went back and forth between the two men before landing on Jonathan. Why was he looking at her like she just kicked his cat or something? It didn’t skip her attention that Adam and Jonathan appeared to know each other. It wasn’t all that surprising. Afterall, weren’t they both entertainment company CEOs? “How do you know Lacey?” It was Adam who asked this question, which made Jonathan tear his gaze away from Lacey. “She’s my actor. And we both live in this apartment complex. How do you know her?” The possessiveness in his voice made Lacey stare at him for a while. Choosing to ignore Jonathan’s question, he turned to Lacey with admiration in his eyes. “I didn’t know you were an actor.” The way he beamed at her, you would think she was a big name or something. “Well,” Lacey winced under the weight of Adam’s admiring eyes, “I’m only an actor in training under JT Entertainment. It’s not a determined thing yet.”Adam instantly latched onto that. “Well, if that ends up not

The car started moving after Adam got into the driver’s seat, and they were on their way. It looked like Adam Rashidi didn’t like any distractions while he drove as he didn’t put on the radio. Lacey only realized later that he’d done that so as not to disturb the sleeping Ruby at the back.“Are you–?“Is she–?”After the prolonged silence, what were the odds that they would start speaking at the same time? Lacey and Adam’s combined low laughter filled the car.“You can speak first.”“Ruby’s going to be fine, right?” Judging by Selma’s reaction when La

Ruby—that was her name—was now safely strapped in the backseat of her older brother’s car. As Adam Rashidi settled his sister into his car, Lacey felt a pinch on her arm and turned around to see Adi looking at her with wide eyes.From the movement of his lips, he seemed to be mouthing something along the lines of ‘How do you know him’ at her, but Lacey didn’t have time to figure out exactly what he was saying because of her mindfulness of Adam Rashidi’s presence. The next second, he straightened his posture and turned around with an apologetic smile.“I’m sorry about Ruby cutting your night short,” he apologized, looking right at Lacey, “but I’m glad that you were here.”“I&

Best believe that Lacey didn’t stick around in that awkward situation that appeared after Steven showed up. It wasn’t like the atmosphere hadn’t had that air of uncomfortableness before he arrived, but his presence escalated it. “I’m leaving.”Like she had been holding in a long breath, a long sigh ripped through Lacey upon getting back to her apartment. That was it. She had successfully taken care of the two issues that were worrying her. But not quite since Jonathan’s confession clouded her entire mind now. She took care of one worry, only to get another in return. “I love you, Lacey.”“Argghh.” The loud scream did nothing to calm the array of thought flying around in Lacey’s head. Instead, it only gave her a slight headache. At times like this, there was only one thing that could get rid of her migraine: a night out where she could drink her worries away. Maybe she should have done that in the first place. As Lacey came out of the bathroom after freshening up, she sent a message

CHAPTER ONE
“I’m divorcing you, Lacey.”Cloud 9. Since the day she said ‘I do’ to Thomas, Lacey Thalmes had been on cloud 9. And she never wanted to leave. Today made it six months since she got married, and to some people, that might not seem like much, but to Lacey, it signified a lot of things. First, it was longer than her parents’ marriage, which had lasted four weeks. It had been an elopement that ended with her dad running off after finding out her mum was pregnant. Second, it gave Lacey a chance to bite back at all the people who called her crazy for getting married so young. She’d found out later that some of her classmates made a bet that the marriage wasn’t going to last up to a year. Lacey couldn’t wait to prove them wrong. Crazy was jumping off a helicopter, trusting that a parachute was going to make you land safely on the ground; crazy was going swimming with sharks. As for love, that wasn’t crazy, but if it turned out that it was, Lacey was glad she had that gift. “Sometimes it...
