DEMI

Laila looks up at me, her eyes are red. She must have been crying for a while. As much as I haven't been a fan of her lately, she looks so helpless. I can't just throw her out. For her to come all the way to my house despite everything, whatever happened must have been serious. The way she's dressed, and how messy her hair looks tells me it's a serious emergency.

It makes me wonder whether Laila's incident is related to Gavin’s worry. If someone is after our lives, I think it's best if we

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Love?

    DEMIIt's 4pm and the picture of Gavin pecking my cheek is still the talk of town. Although I didn't want the public drama, my heart still melts every time I recall the exact moment when he called me the queen of his heart.Gavin Morgan stood in front of the camera, pecked my cheeks and called me that.Yes, it's real. I can't count the number of times I've caught myself smiling. The butterflies in my stomach haven't had a chance to disappear. I mean, how can they, when I'm still fluttered from the incident that happened hours ago?Gavin catches me on the millionth episode of smiling to myself when he walks into my office. Although I pretend to be busy, I know that he's not an idiot. He sees right through me. He locks the door and leans against it, crossing his hands in front of his chest.“What has gotten you smiling like that?” He asks.“Nothing,” I pretend to put on a serious face, shifting my eyes to the computer to type nothing.“Uh, huh,” he drawls, now approaching my side of the

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    The Big Plan

    DEMIGavin looks so hot when he's talking business and protecting me at the same time. To add on that, he puts Ernest in his place in so many funny ways.I should be laughing out loud, but here I am, worrying a lot.Ernest was so sure about Gavin hating me. It doesn't make sense for him to go through all this just to make Laila happy. Again, the analogy I had earlier comes rushing in. There is something bigger.“Remember Janelle said her plan was still on. And then Laila had implied the same thing,” I reason with Gavin, who only gives me brief glances since his main focus is on the road.I do most of the talking, probably because he figured things out already. It doesn't come as a shock. My boyfriend likes to be a step ahead.“Do you know the strangest part? You had threatened Laila's job before. She knows messing with me will definitely get her fired. But this morning….”“Did she do anything to you?” He cuts me off with a concerned face. “No, she didn't, but…according to her tone, s

    GAVINHayes Real Estates had rejected my proposal a few days ago. I wanted to be a shareholder, and then give it to Demi as a surprise. I know she'd love that, since she's into the Real Estates field.But that didn't go well. The investigations have been on, but no one, except Reagan knows the details of it.I thought making Demi one of the bosses would be a good revenge, but they made it impossible. Now we're going to sue them, and the future of Hayes Real Estates will be in Demi's hands.I owe Reagan a lot, for the evidence I've got which proves Demi's innocence.I smile at the table, while over half of the people in the room have their eyes widened at me in shock. Ernest is seated next to me. He taps my shoulder and leans closer to whisper in my ear.“What is this?” He asks.“Are you deaf or something? I told you, you're going to love the outcome,” I remind him, knowing just how much he hates this situation.“Mr. Morgan, there must have been a mistake somewhere,” says the old man,

    DEMIA little headsup would have been nice. This is not the kind of surprise one expects from their boyfriend. I frown after the words leave Gavin's lips.“I was going to tell you. But I didn't want to have you worked up,” says Gavin. A soft laugh escapes my lips. “You were going to tell me? This is literally an ambush, Gavin. You said it yourself, Ernest will be here soon. So, when exactly were you going to tell me?” I ask.“Demi..”“No,” I cut him short. “As a matter of fact, I was the one who asked. Which only means, if I didn't ask, I would have been ambushed like that.”I sigh, and then storm out of the office, ignoring every call of my name. I shut my eyes and take in long breaths when I settle in my office.It doesn't take a while before Gavin follows me.“Hey,” he walks over to the side of the desk where I'm seated, and then crouches, right after spinning my chair so I'm facing him.“I'm sorry,” he says, taking my hand. “I just didn't want you to worry, and instead, I wronged

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Us against the World

    DEMIThe timing is just perfect. She must have headed straight to the media after she stormed out of the hotel room. I want to ask what Gavin was thinking, taking her to a hotel room, but then I remember why. Janelle was responsible for the fire at my store. This is literally war. An eye for an eye.When my mother says, welcome to the spotlight, it hits the correct nerve, because I don't know when all this will end. Janelle is not backing off any time soon, despite the warning from Gavin. She still has her big plan on, which worries me, especially when I recall Laila had mentioned something about it too.It's definitely nothing good on my side. The only other option is for me to step aside, break up with Gavin, and maybe cut him off for good.I don't even want to think about it.The next morning, all eyes are on me, from when I get off my Ferrari. As I walk to my office, I have to ignore the eyes, especially from the ladies. Today, Gavin is not by my side to hold my hand and calm my n

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Victims of Betrayal

    DEMIWith the sigh that follows, I know he is reluctant to tell me. Before, he would calm me down by stating that Janelle is someone I shouldn't worry about. Now, it seems I should always worry about her, but for different reasons.Before, it was because I thought she and Gavin had something going on, but now, it's because she's set to destroy my life. What did she even mean when she said her plan was on?I would like to know what she did that made Gavin so mad at her, to the extent of breaking off their engagement, and now he wants nothing to do with her.“It's nothing you should…”“Worry about?” I cut him short. “I've heard that line a million times, and frankly, these days, when you say that, all I do is worry.”“Babe…”“Don't babe me,” I raise my head to look at him. “Tell me what happened.”“Okay, now you're mad.” He says.“I'm not mad. If I were mad, I wouldn't be lying on your chest right now,” I tell him.“She betrayed me,” he mutters.“What?” “Yeah, she betrayed even the lit
