Falling for the Billionaireย ย ย Chapter 9
โI want to talk to you,โ I spoke as the wall clock binged with the completion of one round. Ethan spread himself in the study, going through a few of his files and making rough notes.โIโm busy.โ His blunt reply crept into my ears.โItโs important,โ I stated, tapping my fingers against the headrest of the chair that lay before the table. He let out a rough sigh and closed his laptop. Leaning back in the chair, with arms held folded, he waited for me to continue.โJess was suggesting us to go on a honeymoon,โ I said, clutching the rim of the chairs and gently digging my nails into them.He frowned. โWhoโs that?โโThe woman who just got kicked out of this house. You didnโt really have to be so rude to her, by the way. She was being nice to you. Anyways, back to it. Iโm really worried about how my marriage is going to affect my career and you already know that people arenโt accepting what we are projecting. We need to be a little more-โโWe are not going anywhere, Skylar. I have work to

A half-hour later, we sat down across from each other with our breakfast before us. I grabbed a cup of free yoghurt and pushed my spoon into it. Taking a spoonful of it into my mouth, I looked at him.โWhat are you up to?โ I asked him.He stopped chowing his food and looked are me puzzled. โI was about to ask you if you wanted any syrup with that cereal-โI rolled my eyes. โNot that, like, in life.โHis shoulder rose and fell back down in a shrug. โI donโt know. Iโm going to sign a few projects soon, and Iโll be having a movie get out in the cinemas real soon-โโZac,โ I warned him. โDonโt act like you donโt know what Iโm talking about. Iโm staying inside your house and having breakfast although I planned on showing myself off in the outside so that I can really talk to you about stuff that is important.โHe sighed and looked up at me. โTell me what you want to know.โโYou do realise that Lana and Kyle are married right?โ I said. โAnd there is a very slight possibility of them getting

There were very little people that noticed me when I walked inside. They were probably not used to women walking in with a pair of striped shorts and an off-shoulder top with a sling bag hanging loose at the side of the waist, while the free hand clutched the phone. As I passed by a few cubicles, my eyes couldnโt help but land on the many office notes that had their CEOโs and his wifeโs (who unfortunately had to be me) pictures and congratulation messages.It made me wonder why people had a very confused look on their faces when they were aware of who I was. Or maybe, I indeed caught them off guard by making an abrupt appearance. I walked straight to the reception and shot the man behind the counter one of my brightest smiles.โHi, Iโm here to meet your CEO,โ I said, tapping my nails against the desk.The man behind seemed irked by my casual behaviour and lack of professionalism. He frowned at my fingers that were playing against the desk and looked back up at me with an unappreciativ

Later that afternoon, when the press conference has finally come to an end, I was reluctant to just let him attend one of his meetings. But I knew I couldnโt push him further, keeping in mind what the consequences could be so I let his driver drop me home.I felt my phone ring in the back pocket of my shorts and quickly answered it.โYou guys are unbelievable! How the fuck am I ever going to arrange for a gown in a freaking day?โ Jen criedโWhat the- Jen, give me my phone back. I called her.โ Jordanโs voice rang behind in the background.โWhat, Fuck. Put some clothes on, you idiot. That wonโt turn me on!โ Jen said.โJen-โ I tried to speak.โHey, Skylar. What are your plans for tonight? Iโm really hungry and I was planning maybe-โ Jordan said but was instantly cut off.โGive this thing to me! Hello! Skylar, can you hear? For the love of God, Lana didnโt tell you about the surprise, right? If she did, then itโs going to be such a disaster-โโBabe, youโre telling her everything!โ Jordan

I quickly grabbed the shirt he was going to wear tonight and spilled some of my perfume on it. I know itโs nothing compared to what he did to me in the morning but I at least was doing something about it.When he came out of the bathroom, I already reminded my brain to not look at his indecent body and quickly averted my gaze away from his chest. Nevertheless, I couldnโt help.I quickly went inside the bathroom and filled the tub. However, the asshole already used up all the hot water. I peeled the clothes off and looked for the bubbles to add. To my horror, there was absolutely nothing in the bottles. I opened all the bottles only to find them all devoid of anything worthy of cleaning my body.โEthan!โ I yelled from inside.โYea?โ I heard him.โWhat in the world did you do to my body wash and soap and shampoo and conditioner and everything else?โ I said in anger.โI canโt hear you, can I walk inside?โ I knew he was trying not to laugh at me.I gaped at his words and quickly grabbed m

โWhat a show that was.โ Jen squealed, digging her nails into my skin in excitement.โYou know he did thaat because the media was around.โ I rolled my eyes at her.She narrowed her eyes. โDonโt roll your eyes at me. I know you liked it too.โUpon my greeting with my silence, she continued.โHow did it feel?โ She said, pointing to my stomach. โButterflies?โโAre you guys depressed about lack of romance in your love life? Do you want me to have a session with the boys?โ I asked her. Why was everyone so interested in my love life??โWhy would we? If anything, weโre over the edge of having a baby!โ She laughed.โThen why is everyone excited over getting us back together like you guys are some depressed single-since-sixteen-years girls?โ I said, trying hard to not glare at her. I donโt want pictures that Iโd regret to have on Internet clicked right now.โHey, first of all, we arenโt excited about this because of a lack of romance in our love life. And secondly, weโre just really good friend

A few minutes later, the five of us, Lana, Stella, Cassidy, Lucy, Jen, and I sat and stared at our drinks. I wasnโt in the mood for it so I let Jen order for both of us.I donโt know what got over me, but the urge to get some alcohol into my system seemed so necessary. I didnโt wait for the girls and took my drink and gulped it in one shot.It tasted different.โHey, what did you order for me?โ I asked Jen.โUgh, that was my drink!โ Cassidy scowled at me.I rolled my eyes and took another glass and gulped it down. The liquid tasted bitter. I didnโt pay heed to what they were talking to themselves about and went with the drinks. I know Jen would be mad at me for not waiting for them to halt their conversation, but I was too reckless to consider that. I needed the drinks.โOkay, I think itโs enough.โ Cassidy stopped me from having the fourth one. Whatโs her problem now? โYouโre going to pass out if you take his one and ruin my plan.โโWhat plan?โ I asked her, irked by how she wasnโt eve

"Iโm fine. Leave me alone.โEthan let me be, but he had an unsatisfied look on his face. I pinched him on the elbow and grabbed his attention.โI want another beer,โ I said.Ethan looked at me with confused eyes. โYou donโt like Beer.โโYou remember?โ I asked, dramatically widening my eyes. Back in high school, Ethan always asked for some beer just so he could irritate me. I canโt believe he remembers it.He didnโt respond. โWhy do want a beer? Are you really-โโSkylar, here.โ Jen grabbed my attention. โYou told me you wanted to have cranberry juice. Here.โI looked at her with confusion. โI didnโt want cranberry. I want a beer.โโNo!โ Lucy said while Jen looked like she was dying to kill me. โYou wanted cranberry. Now drink it.โโWhy are you girls forcing her? Seriously, she can have whatever she wants!โ Jordan said.โNo, she canโt have a beer.

"I missed you guys," I said and hugged the first person I found, who ended up being Jen."I missed you guys, too." she said, wearing a face splitting grin. "how long has it been since all of us met? If I remember it correctly, it was almost four years ago."We were in touch all these years but it was never possible for us to meet all our friends together. It was definitely a reunion we had all been waiting for.Soon, the party started in full form. The guys grouped up near the bar to have drinks and the ladies found a table with the kids to gossip."Oh, look those morons gulping shots like they have no worry in the world." Jen scoffed beside me. "And here we are taking care of the children.""Cut them some slack, will you?" Lucy interjected. "They have pretty stressful job handling work, kids and their wives. Plus, they deserve it once in a while.""Well, hello miss newlywed." Stella said from across the table, "Lucky for you, Zac is the best out of all those dick heads. Although I'm

If there was one day in his calendar when Ethan let me do something for him without him returning the favour - then it was definitely his birthday.It was the day I had always looked forward to, more than anything, since it gave me an easy excuse to do things for him that were bound to make him incredibly happy.I recalled his birthday a few years ago when we flew to Paris to celebrate it. We were making love until midnight, and right when the clock struck twelve, I broke the news to him. According to him, that is still the most memorable and most cherishing moment of his life."We're pregnant," I said, my facing breaking into a huge grin.He was hovering over me, after an intense lovemaking session, and was just about to go for my lips when I uttered the words. I felt his entire body freeze under my palms as soon as he heard them and his eyes instantly shot up to mine."What?" he asked, as though he couldn't believe what he just heard.Only we knew why the news meant so much to us at

โSkylar, this outrageous! Itโs been six months!โ Ethan complained from the kitchen.โI told you Iโm not going to let you touch me until Katie and Kevin are at least five years old.โ I said, climbing up the stair to our room.The heard footsteps follow me from behind, more hastily than I mine. As I reached the last step, Ethan pulled me back by my waist and pinned me to the wall.I waited for the wall to hit my head and knock me down, but luckily for me, Ethan already anticipated it and placed his hand on my head.โI cannot wait for another four and a half years to have sex with my wife.โ he affirmed. โYou know youโre being unreasonable.โI frowned at him. โHey, youโre not the one who carried twins in your womb. Youโre not the one who almost died in labour for two whole days. And youโre not the one who pushed two very persistent babies out of your vagina just six months ago. Do you even know how that feels? Painful. And do you also know who caused that? You!โโWait, now Iโm supposed to

I fell onto my knees at that instant.Sheโs pregnant.Skylar is carrying my baby.Weโre going to have a baby.Our baby.No.No.No.Skylar needs to survive.โNo.,โ I said. โYou canโt let anything happen to her or the baby. Please.โ I begged her. โPlease save them.โโItโs a very risky job.โ She explained. โShe has a bullet inside her. And we donโt think a pregnant mother can survive it.โโNo.. she canโt just leave me alone. We cannot let our baby die.โโWeโre going to give your best. Weโll try to save both of them.โ She said.****It has been five hours already. Everyone I knew was in the hospital.I decided to not disclose about the pregnancy to anyone. Although I donโt want to be a pessimist about it, I canโt help but be practical about the situation.I knew that the odds werenโt in my favour. And if just one of them survives through the operation, I donโt want Skylar to know we were ever going to have a baby.Owen thought that was extremely cruel of me to even think about it. But I

I widened my hands and kicked them from behind but the the person was too strong. I heard them asking me to calm down in an instant I turned around to look at them.It was all dark and I could barely spot the standing figure.โSkylar, itโs me.โ Ethanโs voice rang in my ears.โEthan..โ I said breathless.The next second, I fell into his arms. He picked my face up and I felt him brush his lips against mine. Tears ran out of my eyes continuously as I clung onto him.โHow are.. what are you doing- how did you get here?โ I asked him.โI canโt tell you that right now. We need to go-โโSheโs here!!!โ I heard one of the men yell from behind us. โHeโs with her!โI could barely take in some air before Ethan pulled my hand. I sensed him pull out a gun and point it to my head. I widened my eyes in disbelief. What is he up to?โDrop your gun, or she is dead.โ I heard him.For a second I wonder if I was truly in the hands of my husband or not. Is he threatening to kill me?โAre you stupid? They kno

โHow am I ever going to recognise them!โโThey know you.โ He said. โThat shouldnโt be a problem. Once you go to them, you should obey whatever they say. You cannot-โโFine.โ I cut him off. โBut how can I trust you?โโYou simply will have to.โโThatโs not going to be enough reason.โ I said.โWell, I see you have something in mind. What is it?โI drew in some air. โI want you to send one of the girls to Stella. Only then, Iโll come.โโBloody hell. Thatโs not-โโThatโs the only way I can trust you.โ I said. โIโm just asking for you to send one of them. You can still have one girl to use against me, donโt you? I will come for her.โThere was a long pause.I gave him the time to think. I knew that what I was doing is not right. I knew I should be trusting Ethan but I canโt risk the twinsโ life on this. What Ethan canโt find them soon enough? What if Jake hurts them? I could not let that happen.I also knew the twins needed each other at that time. They could be there for each other. But if

I was obliged to stay put inside our confined room for hours. Not a single message. Not a single phone call.Ethan kept himself busy with the search for the girls whilst keeping a bunch of men around our house.I highly doubted if I needed, since Jake would never pull an ordinary stunt like that. He is smart. He is capable of doing something that no one expects. Not even us, who know him better than anyone else.If Jake is really obsessed with the idea of pursuing me, he will have nothing to do with the girls. He will set them free, but it will have a price to pay.All I want is for Ethan and his men to find the girls before he hurts them and uses them against us. His actions will do no good for anyone. Not even to himself, at a point.I sighed and rested on the couch. Right then, I got a call.โYes?โ I answered into the phone.โWhere are you?โ Ethan asked.โI am still here in the place you locked me in.โโCan you elaborate?โโNo.โ I replied.โSkylar.โ He called out my name in a warni

โIโm.. Ethan you donโt have to.. I.. uh.. just stop this freaking blood!โ I said, uncertain about the words that were lingering at the tip of my tongue. i couldnโt comprehend my thoughts. A part of me was feeling terrible to see him like this. But a part of him was still upset that he hadn't believed it. It wasn't the first time it was happening. He chose to trust somebody else's words over mine and it cost us our relationship.He obviously feels more responsible for what happened. But this was bound to happen anyways. I wouldโve been attacked at any cost. Jake and Luke are not the kind of people that would let me go without trying for it a million times. Our only regret is to have Mila and Evie pay for it.โYes.. just a second.โ He ducked down and grabbed something from one of the drawers. He poured some liquid into it and put it too my neck in a hurry.I winced in pain and pushed his hand away.โI.. Iโm sorry, did it hurt?โ He asked, panic evident in his eyes.Of course, it did!โNo

Tell him that the girls-โโWhat girls, maโam?โ The man asked. โWe havenโt seen any-โI stroke my hand right across his face. His face was filled with bewilderment as he clutched the side of his cheek.โIโm not fucking hallucinating! Go check your security cameras and you will find two girls with me. Hoe the fuck does this mall work? Do you honestly not notice when a kidnapper comes in and takes away kids? What-โI cut myself off when I found someone coming my way. In an instant, Stella was before me.โWhere are my girls?โ Stella asked, looking around. โWhere are they? Are they in the car?โโStella, you need to listen to me. The girls..
