Elizabeth took her friend back to the apartment. She knew he was exhausted from the trip, and she also wanted to make sure her son was doing okay.

Andy wasn't used to spending so much time away from her, and Elizabeth had missed him terribly, too.

When her son saw Bastian, his excitement was unmistakable, and it put her mind at ease a little.

Once she'd made sure everything was fine, and her friend had assured her he wasn't going anywhere because he planned to sleep for the next two days straig

    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

    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

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 32: She Wanted Roger, and She’d Sink Whoever She Had To

    Roger pretended to drive off. He made it a couple of blocks, then circled back the second he got the chance. He parked some distance away and kept watch, making sure she actually got into that taxi or that someone came to pick her up.Fifteen minutes went by before he saw his father-in-law’s car pull up, and out of it stepped Bastian, the lover who, according to his wife, had turned out to be just a friend.The second she saw him, his wife threw herself into his arms, and that hellspawn flea hugged her back and tucked her into the car.Roger, fists clenched and about to crack a tooth from grinding them, got into his own car and very nearly went after them, but he looked at his son and drove home instead.When he walked in the door with the baby in his arms, Alexander was waiting for him. His friend’s face was ashen, his expression grim.“I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop her… And who’s this kid?” he asked, looking at Andrew.Before Roger could answer, Nathan, Alexander’s oldest, came over to

    Elizabeth's hand stayed planted on the door, blocking his way out.Of all the scenarios she'd ever imagined, this wasn't even in the neighborhood of anything her mind had cooked up.She had never seen Roger look at her like that, with so much hatred, and she never would have pictured him wanting to take Andrew just like that, without first spending some time with his son so the two of them could get used to each other."I understand you, I swear I do," Elizabeth began, and the twisted smile that spread across her husband's face had nothing to do with happiness. He was mocking her."You understand me? If you'd understood me, we wouldn't be in this mess, but that's nothing new. You never bother to listen to me, and I'm done listening to your excuses, so we're even. Fair?"Andrew, who seemed to sense the tension in the room, threw his arms out to her to be picked up, but Roger wouldn't let him.Her husband turned away from her and started making the little guy laugh so he'd forget what h
