Kayla’s POV:

I gripped my fork with anger, my jaw clenched as I glared at the insane man in front of me. Okay, he wasn't insane, but he was definitely getting on my last nerve.

“Anger suits you, you should fume more often,” Lucan spoke calmly, as he moved his glass of wine to his lips, icompletely unaffected by my glare.

  • Claimed for 100 days by Mr Billionaire.    CHAPTER 11

    KAYLA’s POV:As soon as I got home, I collapsed on the couch, throwing my keys on the table. I felt my body shaking with raw, unfiltered anger. Who exactly does Lucan Vesley think he is? Rubbing a partnership in my face, like I was a dog that would jump at the slightest sniff of meat. I tapped my legs to control my anxiety. He had seen the farewell mark Archie had given me before he left for his trip. He was getting too close, and that was going to be a problem. The nature of Archie and my marriage was something I never wanted to get out in public. Archie was a manipulative son of a bitch, but he was my protection. He was the reason my company still stood loud and proud. I hated to admit it, but his name had opened doors for me that my mother's name had shut.A tear slipped from my eye, resting on my chin. I closed my eyes to hold back the rest. I didn't understand what my life was turning into, and the thought saddened me more than it scared me. After hours of soliloquy, I stood f

    LUCAN’S POV: I watched her leave, and I didn’t bother stopping her. I knew she would be back. The certainty settled in my chest. It was the only assurance I needed. I sat down on the sofa, my mind reeling. I thought I was mistaken when I saw her bruised lips at the gala, but the bruise on her arm confirmed my suspicions. Kayla was being abused by her husband. I was so sure of that fact. I paced the length of my living room, irritation coiling tightly beneath my skin. What was it about this girl that left me so unsettled? She was beautiful, yes—but it was something more than that. It was the fire simmering beneath her surface that called to the darkest possessiveness within me. I didn’t want to dim her light. I wanted her fire to burn me instead. I had extended the arrangement to one hundred days under the guise of strategy, but the truth left a bitter taste in my mouth. I had one taste of her, and I became an addict. That night, I had not been satisfied. I knew I would crave he

I bit my tongue long and hard until it was numb. I promised myself I would do everything within my power to close the deal tonight, once and for all, and that entailed keeping my mouth shut, no matter how far this insanely attractive man attempted to push me to the wall.“Can we discuss why I am here?” I asked, my spite evident in my tone. “Easy tiger, the night is still young.” I stared at him unimpressed, did he just call me a tiger? I sighed I wanted the cold man from the gala, he was being talkative and it didn't suit him, it got on my nerves more than it calmed me. I took a deep breath, you can do this Kayla….I gave myself a small pep talk before I opened m

  • Claimed for 100 days by Mr Billionaire.    CHAPTER 8

    KAYLA’S POV: It's been officially three days since I walked out of Lucan Vesley's penthouse, three days since I have felt like shit. The agreement was for him to have me for one night, but I had successfully ruined it. I sighed to myself as I massaged my temples. I couldn't contact Lucan again, my pride and dignity were at stake. But if I don't contact him, my sanity would be at stake. Archie had become increasingly violent since Lucan placed the partnership on the table. I don't know if it was the idea of me being a solid factor in the partnership, but Archie had been restless. I looked at the bruise on my arm, the angry red marks glaring at me like it was mocking me. Why did I have to be such a coward, if I had let Lucan have his way with me, things would have been so different. I massaged my temples, how was I going to get Lucan to place back the offer, without me being on the table? A knock interrupted my thoughts, “Come in.” I spoke to the person behind the door. My assista

    KAYLA’s POV: After my hands connected with Lucan’s cheeks. He didn't flinch, his expression was unreadable, then he looked faintly impressed. “Strong,” he said quietly. “ I like that.” I clenched my jaw, what was wrong with this man? “Get out” I said pointing to the door, I moved to the right effectively moving away from the cage he had created for me. “Over my dead body, would you catch me in your bed.”Lucan wasn't deterred. He dropped his card on the table. “One night.” He repeated. “ Everything would be based strictly on your terms Kayla. Think about it and give me a call.” Just then Archie walked in oblivious to the scene that had just played out. “ Is everything good?” He asked, looking directly at me, I nodded, not bothering to look at him. “I would be in contact with Mrs Williams.” Lucan said making his way to the door, he gave a brief nod to Archie and as quietly as he came, he left. Archie locked the door behind him. “ What was that all about Kayla?” he asked, advancin

    KAYLA’S POV: The day hadn't even started and I was fed up. The office for some reason felt suffocating, even though it had been the only place where I could breathe in the past. Far away from Archie. I sat behind my desk, scrolling through quarterly projections, though my mind wasn’t on the screen. It kept drifting back to the man whose name had been on my mind since the day of the gala. Lucan Vesley.The cold billionaire I had met at Archie’s gala. Archie kept chasing a proposal with him, and it irritated me to the core how he was all Archie could talk about. I sighed, my head already spinning. As long as I don't see him again, I will get over my dislike for him, or was it intrigue? My mind whispered to me. I glanced at the clock on my computer screen. 10:17 a.m. It was too early for lunch, but also too late to pretend I wasn’t avoiding my husband’s calls. My phone vibrated again, like it knew I was ignoring him.Archie.I let it ring twice before answering. “Yes?”“You’re in your
