Badgering My Billionaire Bully Coffee
Watching as Mina sipped her coffee, Presley wondered if it was possible this woman was really as innocent as she proclaimed. The way her tongue darted to the edge of the coffee cup to lick the droplet of the brew and the way her eyes seemed to be drinking in the scenery while completely ignoring the way every man seemed to be looking at her felt far too innocent to be real. Yet, the woman appeared truly oblivious to her effect on multiple men in the area, including Liborio.He on the other hand was even colder and more aloof than previously. He was tearing at a pastry with his fingers and glowering at his coffee cup as if it contained arsenic instead of the best coffee Presley ever tasted.“Presley, how did you two meet?” Mina asked suddenly, her big eyes with the dark lashes batting exaggeratedly. “I have to admit you make a striking couple and when you were getting out of the car, I couldn’t help but think how perfect you look together.”Presley considered Cruz’s feelings would be h

Cruz was pacing the hotel room aware he was on the cusp of losing everything.His PR manager was on the phone and her silence was telling.“What did we lose?”“Nothing yet, Cruz. Our team is on it but the paparazzi, which the hotel was doing so well to keep out of the resort managed to get multiple shots of Ms. Brookmore getting into a vehicle with Mr. Bartoli. There are pictures of them getting out of the vehicle to have breakfast together and his hand is on her low back. It looks intimate.”“Fuck,” he mumbled.“We can pass it off as a business breakfast but what kind of business your fiancée, a bestselling author, is doing with a man who runs casinos all over the world as a front for his mob activities is going to take some creativity to spin.”“This is a nightmare.” He knew in his gut it was Bartoli who got the photographer on site. It was to remind him Liborio held all the cards, and he was nothing in the grand scheme of things. Cruz made his billion by investing in medical scienc

“Over my dead body,” Cruz finally spoke as Presley began packing up things in the room. “What are you doing?”“Packing.” She fought the tremor in her voice. She was hurting. All of Cruz’s angry words were under her skin like a million little needles. He thought she was a child. He thought he was the one who needed to come up with an adult plan to save her like she was some damsel in distress who needed a man to rescue her. Didn’t he realize it was a stupid man who got her into this shit?“Why are you packing?”“Can’t have Liborio’s babies from your bed,” she said bluntly.“You think you’re going to go move into his suite?”“I did tell him I was going to have his kids.”“Ladybird, if I have to bring Algernon into it and kidnap you and throw you on a yacht in the middle of the,” his voice trailed off. “That’s what I’ll do. I’m going to get you the fuck out of here.”“Then he kills Odin, he releases the information Odin accused Mom of child abuse which will destroy her career as a child

Presley and Cruz held hands as they were followed at a discreet distance by a security team, both hired by Cruz and Liborio.“I feel like we’re criminals being followed around by cops.” Presley grumbled.“Ignore them. I know it’s hard but ignore them,” Cruz kissed her knuckles. “Remember when we went skiing at Whistler?”She looked at him in surprise. “What?”“When your dad took us all skiing at Whistler. You were in grade seven or eight. Remember?”“I do.”“I was trying to think of all the fun things we did, like a family, and not the pranks and stuff. Your dad always made me feel like I was part of your family. It was partly why I felt so guilty about lusting after you when I saw you in your undies. I considered you a sister and there I was hard as a rock. Anyway,” he shook his head, “I was thinking of Whistler on my run this morning.”“What about it?”“It was fun. We didn’t prank each other once. Odin wasn’t a completely miserable twat because he was on the ski hill and let’s be re

Presley opened her eyes to the feeling of the room swaying. Her stomach was lurching as she recalled being tased and Cruz falling to the floor right before she did. She looked around the room and found she was alone, in what appeared to be a cabin in a boat.“Ah you’re awake,” the door to the cabin opened and Liborio Bartoli stepped in. “How’s the head?”“You motherfucker.” She tried to sit up in bed but found she was devoid of the strength to do so. “What did you do?”“A little subterfuge. Did you really think I was into Mina?” he gave a laugh which was dark and menacing. “If I wanted a virgin bride, I could have such a thing on my own. I let you think I found her scintillating. You have a very romantic view of the world, Presley, or should I say Perris Brooks, and as a result, all it takes is a little pointed stare, a bit of discipline not to shoot a woman in the head for throwing coffee which had long grown cold and a little patience for a man who thinks he’s bigger than he is, and

Presley followed Estrella up the stairs and was surprised to find she really was on a ship. It wasn’t a yacht or a fancy rich person’s boat but an actual ship.“What kind of boat is this?”“Fishing trawler,” Estrella shrugged, “a big one.”She looked around the deck and noted a lot of men working and she made a face. “Why am I dressed up for dinner?”“You’re going to the captain’s quarters. Everyone else will eat in the main dining hall.” Estrella’s features took on a smug countenance, “you should wave.”“To whom?” Presley frowned as she looked in the direction Estrella was staring. “Shit. Is that Odin?” she wanted to immediately run over to the man who was tied up to a post on the deck, but Estrella pulled her arm. “What on earth is he tied up for?”“As an example of what happens when you cross the boss.” Estrella shrugged.She shot a worried glance at Odin who didn’t even appear to be conscious. “He’s going to burn in the sun.”“Let him. I hope he catches fire. He’s not a nice man.”

Presley looked at Liborio and then measured her next words carefully.“You’re wrong, Liborio. I think you believe you’re saving me but you’re wrong.”“You will see things differently in time.”“Have you never said anything in a fit of anger you didn’t mean?”“No.”“Lucky you. I do it all the time. Do you know who else shoots their mouth off when they’re angry, frustrated, panicking?” She thought of Cruz earlier calling her a child and yelling at her and knew his fears for her were not faked. He loved her. This man sitting opposite her was never going to convince her otherwise. “Cruz does, Liborio. He’s a big man with big emotions and it is why he says things he doesn’t mean. I also know there isn’t a bone in his body which would truly hurt me.”“He broke your arm when you were kids. He literally and physically hurt you. You brought it up yourself at the restaurant.”“Stop.” She took a breath. “He broke my arm because he didn’t see me riding my bike behind his car. He cried more than I

Cruz felt his head throbbing painfully as everyone whispered around him. It had been more than an hour since he woke up on the floor of the room he shared with Presley. Anderson was still hovering over him as he continued to lay on his side on the bed.According to Algernon, who was also in the room, he’d been tased and then when he was on the ground someone injected him with a sedative. He was then transported back to his room and dumped there with Presley nowhere in sight. His heart clenched painfully.“Cruz, you need to sit up and help us.”“He took her,” Cruz whispered sadly.“He did but we can get her back. Algernon knows people.”“My Russian friend is on his way,” Algernon spoke seriously. “I believe Liborio Bartoli underestimates who I am and what I do. I tend to lay very low and operate more in shadows. I have a very public image here in Europe which makes a good cover for my more,” he made a face, “illustrious activities.”Cruz noted Algernon was speaking to him in French as

Badgering My Billionaire Bully Epilogue: Two Years Later
“Do you Cruz Henry Hawley take Presley Marie Brookmore to be your lawfully wedded wife?”The preachers words droned on as Presley sobbed through the vows playing on the screen in front of her. It had been eighteen months since she and Cruz married in a huge ceremony with nearly two hundred people in attendance. Cruz swore he didn’t know ninety percent of their guests, but she didn’t care. She wore the big princess gown, a tiara encrusted with real diamonds and felt like queen for the day.She looked to the eight-month-old baby in her arms staring at her while she nursed, and the blue eyes were fixed on her face. She cuddled the baby, sniffing, “do you see, little Genevieve how much Daddy loved Mommy on our wedding day? He was even crying. Look, there are tears on his face as he promises to love me forever. Liar.”The sound of Cruz’s footsteps coming up behind her on the sofa as he put a glass of special tea on the side table made Presley’s chin lift up proudly.“Ladybird, you’re being
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Crazy Kind Of Love
Curled up on the sofa with the kitten in her hand, Presley knew today was probably the hardest day she’d ever spent in her life. Giving her parents ultimatums hurt almost as much as realizing she actually needed to do it.Cruz set a cup of tea on the side table next to her and sat down beside her. “Are you okay?” Pushing a strand of hair off her cheek to tuck behind her ear, he stared sadly at her. “I know today was hard.”“It really sucked, Cruz.”“I know.” He watched her stroking the kitten on her lap who was purring loudly. “She loves you.”“She is such a cuddle bug.”“She is.” He agreed.“Why couldn’t I have been born in a normal family where people actually cared for me? What was wrong with me they couldn’t simply do what parents do, or brothers do and just love me?”The words fell from her lips before she could stop them, and they were quickly followed by a choking sob as she stuffed her fist against her lips and squeezed her eyes shut.“Hey,” he pulled her and the kitten straig

Entering her parents’ home, with Cruz holding her hand, Presley felt incredibly nervous. She’d asked them, along with Marsha to meet here to talk. Marsha’s car was in the yard, already arriving ahead of her and she knew it was because the woman wanted to know if there was an update on Odin.She followed the quiet sounds of chatter into the living room, Cruz’s presence a wordless support for the confrontation she knew was about to happen. The only way she could move forward with her life, and having her parents in it, especially her father, was for them to understand she wasn’t letting them give Odin a clear berth any longer to do the shit he’d been doing since her birth.“There she is,” Scarlett was up on her feet the minute she caught movement in the doorway and moved to hug Presley. She squeezed her tight. “I missed you. I used to see you several times a week and it feels like I’ve only seen you a couple of times in the last month or so.” She cupped Presley’s cheeks, “you look tired

Cruz left the room with Presley and Anderson, unsure who he was feeling more concerned about. Both of the people he loved most in the world were hurting and he wasn’t sure who needed his help more.Presley slipped her hand into his and leaned her head against his shoulder and twisted her lips sideways. He recognized the expression as one she made when she was struggling with what to say and was thinking about her next words.Anderson though, walking on the other side of him was unusually stoic, nothing to say and pensive. His features were schooled into a mask Cruz never saw on his friend before and it was causing Cruz to be very worried for whatever thoughts were going on in his head.“Did I make a mistake?” Presley suddenly blurted out.“You think he should have been set free?” Anderson finally spoke with a raised eyebrow.“No.”The impact of her words made Anderson stumble and Cruz’s feet come to a grinding halt.“Presley! He’s your brother. He said he was sorry.”“I don’t know if

Presley stood outside the room where Odin was being detained for a long time simply staring at the door. Cruz, Anderson and Belkin stood with her, saying nothing but supporting her quietly with their presence.“I don’t know if I can do this.”“You’ve confronted him many times over the years, Ladybird,” Cruz said quietly as he rested his hand on her shoulder. “Hell, you confronted him twice in France. There isn’t much more he can tell you today he’s not already told you.”“Did he say anything when you picked him up?”“Nothing. He’s been silent. Not a word.” Belkin shook his head. “We made sure his medical treatment continued until he was brought here. There was a physician and two nurses and a physiatrist who worked with him in the ship’s medical bay. He’s still got a long way to go after the damage Liborio caused to him however he’s in pretty damn good physical condition compared to when you last saw him. He’s breathing on his own now.”“How can I hate and love someone so much at the
Badgering My Billionaire Bully One Down ...
Entering the holding cell where Estrella was being detained was meant to prepare Presley for being strong when she entered Odin’s space. It was Rami and Belkin’s idea. She wasn’t prepared though to see Belkin in the room as well and the difference in the man in front of her compared to the one she knew very well was causing her footsteps to falter.He was what the movies portrayed the evil villain in a psychological thriller would look like. In her opinion this man, this version of Belkin in front of her, if she’d met him before the one who rescued her, she would have been pissing in her boots. He was scarier than Liborio ever was to her. It was clear Estrella was feeling the same way, despite her earlier introduction to him on the ship. The playful yet angry man from the day Presley was rescued was nothing like the one here.“Good morning,” Presley nodded at him. “Belkin, I see you and the Mechanic have made yourselves comfortable and my guest quite uncomfortable.” Presley pulled a c

Three weeks later, Presley was sitting in her office at the casino while Sloane and Halima were staring out the massive wall of windows behind her back looking down at the city.“This is a dope office.” Halima said. “No wonder you took it over right from day one. It’s stunning up here.”“I feel like the world’s biggest imposter. I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. Last night I was asked to authorize a fifty-million-dollar bankroll for some prince from Europe and all I could think was who has this kind of money to throw on a poker game.”“Did you authorize it?”“Yes and the idiot lost thirty million dollars. According to Belkin, he’ll probably come back tonight to try to recoup it.”The door to her office burst open and Mina came storming in, her face flushed bright red, and she leaned over Presley’s desk huffing angrily, “your brother is a nightmare.”“My brother, Rami or the biological monstrosity?”“Rami!” she was stomping her feet furiously. “The other one isn’t your brother.

Badgering My Billionaire Bully Kitty
Entering Cruz’s condo at the end of her day, Presley was struggling with the emotions she was feeling.It shouldn’t hurt.After all this time, years since her relationship with the person she knew as Noah, Shae as they preferred now to be known, was over, she should not be feeling the sting of their betrayal as much as it was. It hurt. It hurt so much to know the person she’d once loved could be intimate with someone else while they’d been together. The fact it was her own brother was causing the ache to turn into a weird agonizing pain.It shouldn’t have hurt, but it did.When they were together, Presley admitted she’d always been insecure. Always knowing it was their mother who pushed them together, something Shae always joked about, she’d always questioned the devotion as being real. Now, she was convinced it wasn’t and to know her love was one-sided felt like a punch to the stomach.For her part, in hindsight, she knew Shae wasn’t the one for her but to cheat on her with her own b
Badgering My Billionaire Bully Damn Odin
Wandering through the casino she now owned, Presley was trying to get a feel for the way people gravitated to the flash and noise of the scene.She couldn’t understand it at all. Perhaps because she’d never felt a desperate need to make ends meet or to find a quick way to make cash, the appeal to throw money into a machine in hopes of a jackpot never appealed to her. There was more than one person sitting at the slot machines who were greasy-haired and reeking of desperation. It reminded her she was better off than most for the entirety of her life. Now, though, she was far wealthier than any of these people at the machines would dream of being even if they hit it right and won a jackpot.She didn’t deserve any of it.She was taking it though. Presley lifted her chin defiantly. If for no other reason than to thumb her nose at the man who thought he’d be able to convince her to be his wife and steal her life from her, she was taking what she knew he never intended to hand over so soon.
