As Roger stormed out of the office, he ran into the woman who was apparently his new assistant.

Apparently, because she'd only been working for him for two weeks. The poor girl tried her best, but all he ever had for her was one complaint after another.

None of his assistants ever lasted.

And it was all his wife's fault.

That deceitful, lying harpy had destroyed him. And not just when it came to other women. She'd also set the bar impossibly high for his assistants.

He fired them one after anot

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 38: You Can't Rebuild on Ground That Isn't Solid

    They couldn't spend the whole night like this, with her standing in the middle of the room, eyes glued to the floor like she was giving herself a stern talking-to.She was so lost in her own head that she startled when he stepped in front of her and tipped her chin up so she'd look at him."Is this because you're embarrassed that your little friend saw us like that?" Then a crazy idea crossed his mind. "Are you in love with him?"Elizabeth's eyes went wide, and she shook her head."I know it was stupid to tell you he was my lover, when it's obvious that could never happen.""I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about you. You protect him, you look after him, you even made him a condition of the deal. Tell me the truth. Have you ever come to feel something . . . for him?" It was hard to even ask, because if she said yes, it was going to hurt like hell.Elizabeth smiled as if some sweet memory had drifted through her mind, and Roger felt the whole world cave in on him. Then she went s

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 37: This Is a Sign That What We Were About to Do Wasn't Right

    Roger heard the bathroom door open and watched his wife lean out and scan the bedroom.He went perfectly still, the covers pulled up over nearly all of him.Luckily, the dark hid him well. It wasn't that he didn't want her to find him; he just wasn't about to let her order him out.She'd figure out he was in the bed eventually, but he refused to sleep on the couch, least of all when he'd missed sleeping next to his wife this badly.Sleeping. That was the only thing he had planned.If he'd stripped down, it was because that was how he liked to sleep, not because he was after anything else.All Roger wanted was to sleep with Elizabeth beside him again, because it had been three years.Elizabeth came toward the bed with the lights off. Roger, who'd gotten used to the dark, could make out her movements, and he realized she was heading for the left side.That was his side, always had been, and she knew it.Without even realizing it, his wife was looking for him, though what really got him

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 36: What Was a Naked Man Doing in Her Bed?

    Despite walking into a house full of strangers, Elizabeth felt at ease almost immediately.During dinner, Roger and Alexander had sat together, murmuring nonstop, but Diana had been wonderful to her, and to Bastian too.Which was more than she could say for her husband and his friend, who'd spent the whole meal shooting Bastian murderous looks.She'd made a huge mistake introducing him as her boyfriend, but in the moment it was the first thing that came to mind.Bastian could never pass for straight. The second he laid eyes on a good-looking man, his hormones went haywire and he couldn't hide it.Her friend didn't seem bothered by the stares, though. He was too busy soaking up Diana's stories about the days when Alexander and Roger worked together.She would have loved to meet the Roger Diana described. Apparently her husband had changed over the years.The truth was, she liked Diana a lot. Diana had talked to her all through dinner and hadn't let her feel out of place for a second.W

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 35: You’ll Stay in My Room, but I’ll Be in It Too

    Her husband didn’t wait until eight that evening. It was barely seven thirty when he showed up with Andrew in his arms and a look of bone-deep exhaustion.“Are you ready? I want to get out of here early. I had a rough day,” he said, then glanced down at his son, who was barely recognizable.“Roger… Can you tell me what happened?” Elizabeth’s first reaction was worry—Andrew’s hair was damp, and he was wrapped in nothing but his father’s suit jacket. “And where are his clothes?”Her husband acted like she wasn’t there; he wouldn’t even look her in the face when he talked to her.“Don’t ask,” he said, eyeing his son with narrowed eyes. “Let’s just go, it’s late. You did accept my proposal, right?”That last question came out sounding awfully desperate.She’d spent the entire day trying to figure out how to say no to this demand.When Elizabeth had offered to go with him, he’d refused and implied he was with another woman. And now he was demanding it, rudely, practically blackmailing her.

    Elizabeth tried to pull herself together, but it was too late."Where is Mr. Cerberus supposed to be?" she muttered under her breath, and Roger watched her in silence."Mommyyyy!" their son shouted, and started bouncing in his father's arms.Elizabeth scrambled to her feet and took him from Roger."Hi, sweetheart, I missed you," she said, and kissed his cheek. "Did you want to see Daddy's work? Is that why you're here?"She was desperate to fill the silence, because Roger wasn't saying a word and hadn't taken his eyes off her.She leaned out the door and spotted Bastian, mouth hanging open, snoring at full volume."Did your sitter bail on you too, so you had to bring your little buddy to work?" Roger said, mocking her."No. In my case, I made the mistake of thinking I could get a decent assistant, but he fell down on guarding the door. What's your excuse? Did you decide to start Andrew's career early? I didn't peg you as a child-labor exploiter."If he was going to chop the fallen tre

    Elizabeth arrived at the company with Bastian. Her friend had seen her in such rough shape the day before that this morning he'd actually deigned to be ready before she was. Doused in so much cologne he'd practically emptied the bottle, and dressed like he was headed to a party to find himself a new boyfriend, he'd taken her by the arm as if she were an invalid and hadn't let go the whole way. Unlike his usual chatterbox self, he'd stayed silent the entire ride and didn't say a word until they were inside the building.“I’m really upset,” was the first thing he blurted out the second they reached the hallway where her office was and Elizabeth showed him his desk. The same one she'd worked at for two years.“Don’t you like it?” she asked. “As much as I’d love to put your desk inside the office, we both know you’d never let me get any work done, because you can’t stay quiet for long. But out here you can see everything that goes on… and what I really mean is you can see every man who wo
