Billionaire's Rebound: A story of Healing and Love. Chapter 15:
Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 08:05 am.Location: New York's City Hall, between Broadway and Park Row, Manhattan.A wedding day for any woman was supposed to be the happiest but today felt like I was going into yet another hell hole after the experience I had with Richard.What if Ethan Black doesn't pay me?What if he cheats on me as Richard did?What if his family I know nothing about cursed me for marrying their beloved son without notice?What happens when they find out I was once a divorcee?All these questions ran in my mind as I second-guessed my hasty decision to get married again."You look beautiful dear." Alice pushed back tiny bits of loose hair strings that kept misbehaving even though I had spent over an hour just fixing my unresponsive hair. My armpits, sweating profusely."Are you sure" I stammered while pacing back and forth at the huge wooden double doors to the private room Ethan had hired for the private service we were holding.Wealthy people with their endless sol

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 11:45 am.Location: Nearing Black's Effie Tower at Ethan's residence.I'm officially Mrs. Black now! Who thought I would nab New York's most eligible bachelor?I exhaled slowly whilst looking at the tall buildings of Manhattan.Why did he pick me over his long-time girlfriend?The awkward silent drive to Ethan's penthouse pushed me to recall Crystal's bleak face from one of the top tabloid magazines I had once read about her extravagant lash lifestyle with Ethan… and they looked so damn good together if you asked me.I wondered why he did not marry her instead.I darted at Ethan in the corner of my eye and could see him lost in thought. Could it be he was still in love with her?I swallowed hard while my heart thumped wildly.Carla, get your shit together. This marriage is contractual, remember that.I sneered silently with pouted lips and then the driver came to a stop at Ethan's penthouse building... New home at last.I sighed silently."I have urgent m

Ethan Black.Time: 11:59 am.Location: Black Business Eiffel Tower.Finally, I had fulfilled Dad's last wish by tying the knot even though it was not out of love, hence now it was time to save the company and not for honeymooning like Mother and Carla insisted.Carla was no doubt breathtakingly beautiful today but I was done with anything with a pussy in-between its legs because all women are just cheating glutton swine who don't deserve love, especially if it was coming from me.Still in my wedding suit, I sat stiffly in my chair at the head of the long, polished mahogany table in the boardroom. My mother, Sylvia, sat to my left, her expression set in a mask of stoicism. To my right sat the two shareholders, Miller and Gracia, both looking equally tense.We were all waiting for the attorney to arrive, the man who would finally activate my father's shares in the Black Industry, and then I will be the sole boss of the empire. The silent tension in the room was palpable as if the very a

Ethan Black.Time: 7:58 pm.Location: penthouse nestled atop central park Tower Manhattan.I sat quietly in my penthouse corner bar, gazing out the window at the twinkling lights of the city below. I took a sip of my whiskey, savoring the smoky flavor as it warmed my throat and I cringed my face slightly at the bitter taste. It had been a long stressful day at the office after Mother left, and I was grateful for the peace and quiet of my private sanctuary.But as I looked around the dimly lit room, I realized that something was off. It was too quiet. Didn't I have a new bride somewhere around here??? I needed to put my new devious scheme into action of siring an heir to the Black industry.I furrowed my brows in concern. Where could she be? I turned to Victoria, who was tidying up the bar. "Victoria, have you seen my wife?"Victoria looked up from her work, a frown creasing on her forehead. "No, Mr. Black, I haven't seen her since she left as soon as she arrived."My frown deepened

Carla Rodriguez Black. Time: 06:04 am Location: penthouse.The night was prolonged and I had spent most of it twisting and turning in my huge bed wondering why Ethan was so disrespectful to a mere friend of mine.Could it be that he was jealous or what?I stared at the chandelier while I mulled deeply about the new strange possessive behavior he displayed last night.Why was he in such a nasty mood? Could it be that he did not take full charge of the company?But he said I should not bother him about his whereabouts and he will reciprocate the gesture towards me. But what changed? I cupped my lips together while the noisy streets of Manhattan made it even harder to fall asleep. I peeked at the wall clock in my room, and the time was not moving faster than I wanted it.Fuck this, let me go find out why he treated me like that. I rumbled out of the king king-size and strolled straight for his room, forgetting that I only unraveled a sexy yellow lacey spaghetti strap short nightie Etha

Carla Rodriguez Black.Time: 5:47 pm.Location: unknown.As the car began to slow down, I could feel my body being gently pushed forward by the seat belt, and once the car came to a complete stop, I forced my eyes open and was immediately struck by the stunning sight in front of me, my jaw dropping slightly, because of a quaint cottage nestled among the trees. "Where are we?" I asked Ethan because the sun had already set and the ten-hour trip took a toll on me, leaving me exhausted and in need of a good rest."We are in Alexandra Bay." Ethan turned off the car engine with a splitting grin across his face even though his eyes were growing heavier."Wow, and we are spending the weekend here?" I gawked at the marvelous sight before me."Whose place is this?" I furrowed my brows slightly with one raised."It's mine." Ethan beamed and got out of the car.Of course, you own it too. I sneered silently while getting out of the car to get a better view of the place.The cottage was made of crea

Carla Rodriguez BlackFifty-five minutes later…I want you to imagine this for a moment, two grown adults of the opposite sex taking a shower alone in a private room without any sexual tension between the two of them…weird right?Well, that's exactly what happened when Ethan practically ordered me to take a bath with him…All that Ethan did was watch me as I bathed then he took his five-minute shower and was outMaybe he had a weird fetish about showering with strangers.What other odd things have you kept hidden from the public eye?I nervously fiddled with my fork, trying to keep my hands steady as I stared across the table where Ethan sat with his straight, smoldering sexy face, doing what he loved most, staring at his expensive phone… as if he was the only one with an occupied lifestyle.I scoffed While my head spun like everything around me."Why are you ever on your phone Mr bossy pants." I stuttered in slurred speech and he frowned at me."Did you just call me bossy pants?" He
Billionaire's Rebound: A story of Healing and Love. Chapter 22:
Carla Rodriguez Black.The next morning,I was jolted awake by the throbbing pain in my head, feeling as though my head was being hammered from the inside. I groaned and rubbed my temples, trying to remember what happened the night before. Much to my bewilderment, my memory was hazy, and there were large blank spaces, blocking the events from my mind... I'm dressed in my PJs and wondered if Ethan took it upon himself to change my clothing.I peeked at Ethan's side of the bed and he was not there. It looked like he slept next to me, as the bedsheets were clustered but was not there. I squinted my eyes at one of those expensive silver-dial desk clocks, and it was past six in the morning.But where could Ethan have gone this early?Suddenly the sickening smell of the wine I drank last night hung heavily in the air, making me queasy. I gagged a little in my mouth before running straight to the bathroom and throwing up in the sink. I will never drink red wine again. I rinsed my mouth with
