Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 42| ANOTHER HEARTBREAK
PERSYI had never been so broken in my life. I sat on my bed in my apartment, numb from crying all evening, yet asking myself why exactly I was crying.Aiden had been right. It was just sex. Why did I have to feel so entitled? It was not like he had promised me anything after that night. In fact, my first red flag should have been the one where he'd left immediately after the sex. He cleaned me up and all, but for some reason, I had expected him to be beside me when I woke up, at least just so we could talk about how good or apparently bad the sex between us was.This was my biggest fear, becoming reality now. I had avoided giving myself to Aiden because I felt that just like Trevor, he would decide that I was so boring in bed, and that he wanted nothing to do with me. I expected it to happen, but I had not expected it to happen so fast. It was so embarrassing to think about it, most especially about the way he had kicked me out of his car.I did not regret the sex, though. No matter

PERSY Aiden just sent me a letter. We have to be at some dinner party in two days from today. He did not hand me the letter himself, though. He sent a security official to hand it to me. Was I supposed to be over this by now? Yes. Was I over it, though? That would be a capital no. I even succumbed to acting really stupid this past week. I had to involve Trevor in my stupidity at a point; we went out together, we hugged each other in Aiden's presence, and so many other things that was supposed to call his attention to me. Aiden never gave us a second glance. He never tried to make me jealous with anyone either, just went about his work as casually as he always did while I kept making a fool of myself. After sometime, I stopped going to Trevor, on seeing that I was I was just acting so desperate. I decided to focus on my job, but every time I got something from him, the thoughts about him seemed to resurface. I wished I knew what had gone wrong, just so at least I could try to make t

AIDEN"Oh hey, Aiden! Long time, man. Where's the miss?" Charlie, one of our youngest partners shouted at me over the deafening music, shaking my outstretched hand as firmly as I held his.I have no fucking clue, was what I wanted to respond to everyone, but then, well."She will be here soon, it's probably traffic." I assured him and he just watched me for sometime, then asked, "You let her come alone this time? You two always come to every event together."It was a very stupid question to ask, made me wonder when people would learn to mind their own businesses like grown ass folks."She had something to sort out, had to make it here first, gotta represent my dad." I still answered in a cool voice, because there were a lot of people swarming around us, and a handful of them were bored out of their minds, seeking for one form of entertainment or the other. I was not about to fulfill their deepest, darkest desires for no reason.He just hmm-ed, then gave me one last suspicious look bef
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 45| WHOSE BABY?
PERSY"There's no one out here yet, you do not have to open the car door for me." I told him with a straight face. He said nothing, just held his car door for me until I gave up on being stubborn and finally entered inside. He entered the passenger seat too, staying beside me. I looked out of the car now, not caring about the flashes in my face by the paparazzi. They never got tired of taking pictures. I used to be scared of them, and now, I was just used to them."What about the driver that brought me here? Can't he take me home too?" I asked, looking back at him.Surprisingly, he answered, "I fired him. You will not be seeing him around anymore."My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. "You what?""What I just said. Why do you seem so disturbed by it? Was he someone special to you?" His tone was that of mockery, but I did not focus on that in that moment."Why would you do that?" I asked in disbelief. He sighed, but kept his eyes on me as he replied, "He did not deliver on his
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 46| YOU’RE A FATHER NOW
PERSY"It's him, isn't it?" I asked with a forced smile, trying so hard to rein in my anger, because what was I mad for? Aiden was neither my husband or even boyfriend… he was my boss, technically. He paid me to attend parties with him, work in his dad's company and get extra cash while at it, show up at zoom meetings, etc. Getting jealous about his affairs with other women was not part of my job description in any way.But what if this was a joke? Ashley was too good for this. We had only known each other for a short while, but I was already vouching for her. She would never hurt het so-called friend like this, would she?"This is a joke, right? You're not really pregnant. This is just one of your silly games." I smiled for effect, but she did not smile back. She was shaking now, so I calked out, "Ashley? Talk to me. Is this a joke?" After a short pause, I added, "And if it's not, who is it?"Ashley started to sob. I did nothing to console her, just stood there and watched her bawl
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 47| GET RID OF IT
AIDENPersy was drunk. And probably helplessly so. I checked my watch to see the time, and noticed that it was just noon. What was she doing, getting drunk on a hot afternoon?"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked her, taking my hand off my laptop and sitting straighter."Nothing! I'm just… I just wonder whether you already knew? D-Did you know you'll be a dad?" She repeated that nonsense again, and this time, I paused before asking, "Are you carrying my baby?" "You wish." She chortled, dashing my hopes to the ground. It was then that I realized that I actually had no issue with her carrying my baby. For a while there, I had hoped she would say yes.Would it complicate things? Yes. Did I want things to be complicated? No… and well, sometimes, yes."I was working before you called, Kassie. I can hear that you are having fun. Keep up with it, we would talk later." I started to hang up when she muttered,"Has she… she not told you yet?""Who?""Ash. She's carrying your baby." She

AIDEN "What the hell?" Were the first words that escaped my mouth on seeing the state of Persy's room. Her door had not been locked, so I had entered here freely, without knocking or any need to use my master card. What if it were someone else? She was sprawled on the floor, mumbling incoherent words to herself, whilst pillows, bags and even a broken bottle lay on the floor, all around her. There was liquid on the tiles as well, and I knew it was whiskey from the strong smell of it. Fuck, she had probably overdosed on this. I took off my suit and hung it away, loosening my tie as well and unbuttoning the tight shirt. I rolled the sleeves and untucked it, before rushing to her. I got to where she lay and got down on my knees, pulling her to a sitting position. She was still dressed in her corporate shirt and pants for work, but both were now slightly soaked in the alcohol she had laid in. Thankfully, no broken piece of bottle had pierced her; I made sure to check thoroughly to avo
Billionaire’s Substitute Mistress 49| LIES AND DECEIT
PERSYI woke up to a clean room, painkillers and even breakfast in a tray. I looked at all these on my bedside table whilst holding my head in my hand. It took everything in me to finally reach for the painkillers, and then get to take them before opening up the tray which was covered with a white wrap.Someone had gotten breakfast for me. I did not allow myself to ponder on who it was, instead I began to clear everything on the tray, one after another.I slept off again after eating.That whole day consisted of me sleeping and waking up to ear, then going back again, nothing extraordinary took place. I also showered at a point, changed my bedsheet and cleaned the room a bit more.When I woke up the other morning, finally strong enough to move around, I screamed out loud on seeing someone sitting on a chair across me."Shh! Please, please don't shout." She begged. I swallowed, looking her up and down with my heart lodged in my mouth. How did Ashley get in here?"What are you doing her
