Pierce was in his office typing away when I woke later that morning. I knew that because I heard the clack of his computer through the open door that connected the room to his office.

I strolled to the office and leaned on the connecting doorway. “Heyy.” He looked up from the computer and smiled.

I crossed the threshold and climbed in his lap. Melting as he kissed me and caressed my back.

“Was wondering when you’d wake up.”

I spied an open novel with a red cover hidden among his thing and I reached for it. An instant smile spread across my face when I read the title.

“You got your own daddy manual! Did you force Angie to buy one for you?”

“No, I forced Trevor to buy three.”

I giggled. “Good for you.”

Are you up for getting your painting done now?” He rubbed my bare thigh affectionately.

“I was wondering when you’d ask.”

When I entered the art room, it looked slightly different. There was a pretty looking boudoir chair close to the window and a big easel and stool in front of it.

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   The invisible woman

    Nervous did not describe the way I was feeling when the week for our date arrived.Pierce had gone cold the last few days and I didn’t have it in me to question it. Not when I had a feeling that Lily might have something to do with his grandfather learning about us. I hoped it was just Tami’s doing and had nothing to do with my sister. I smooth out of my flair dress as I gave myself one last look in the mirror. I had chosen the dress mostly bevy it did a great job at hiding my belly without looking like too much. “Are you ready?” Pierce asked me stone faced as he struggled with his tie. “Here let me.” I could feel the nerves rolling off him as I fixed it. “It’s going to be okay, right?” I just needed an assurance that everything would be fine. He would stand by his child like he did with his parents.“Yeah.” He answered without looking at me. To say Pierce’s Grandfather’s house was a wonder would be putting it lightly. As we stepped out of the car and Derek rolled away. I had a fe

    “Oh I’m sorry, didn’t think you would notice me leave. You all have everything figured out.”He regarded me coolly.“Myra, sit down.” Pierce commanded and tugged on my arm. “Leave her.” He said calmly, “is there anything you’d like to add, miss…”“Myra. And yes, I would like to add something before I leave.” I pressed my shaking hand to my dress. “I have told Mrs Elizabeth before and I will say it here again. Nothing. Absolutely nothing will separate me from my child. So whatever extra plans you have, plan and keep that in mind. Thank you for…” I looked around the empty table, raised my head and smiled before leaving. I’d already made it to the front of the house before Pierce caught up with me. “What the fuck is wrong with you Myra? You just walked out on my Grandfather! Hey!” He yelled when I didn’t stop, and grabbed my hand to stop me.“Let me go!” I yelled back, and yanked my hand free of his hold. “I was the most respectful person at that table. Everyone else, treated me like

    He smiled down at me and I dutifully returned his smile before he embraced me.“Seriously love, it is good to see you.” Jeremy said, squeezing me tightly before he released me.“What are you doing here?!” I asked, I did not have it in mind to meet people I knew.He pointed up to the roof at one of the gymnasts who was holding her whole body weight with her hair.“That’s my friend. Just here to carry the bags and look cute.” It was then I noticed the large bag he held by his side. “Good I found you here though, I can give my congratulations in person for securing that nomination. I bet you’re going to win next week, considering you got an invite to this.”I hadn’t even given myself enough time to celebrate my own win. I was too occupied with the thoughts of Pierce and his family.“Thank you. I actually came as a plus one for Hannah.” - he waved at her- “She dragged me out of the house.”“It’s a good thing she did. I’m sorry about the whole dad interview incident. It was really bad. You

    “Myra, “ he removed one hand out of his pocket. Are you okay?” I was temporarily distracted by how much I found him attractive and then everything came flooding right back. Down to seeing Tami watching me and him with her, in public once again.“I’m fine,” I snapped at him, stepped out of the cubicle and moved to their sink. My makeup had smudged away in a few areas. Nothing I couldn’t fix with a little pat down.“Good to hear you’re fine. Cuz you need to leave. “I paused with my powder foam halfway to my face and looked at him using the mirror. Derek was standing close to the door like a guard and seemed to be paying no mind to our conversation.“I didn't sneak in here, Pierce. I got an invite. And you don’t have to worry about me ruining your little date time with Tami. I didn’t come here for you. ““It does matter what you came for. I want you to leave.”“Why?” I spun to look at him. Pierce had a pained expression on his face. Like my presence was ruining his night. Which was craz

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   Not this again

    When I woke up the next morning, I channeled all my energy into trying to contact Bianca with no success. Ruth and Angie hovered over me, feeding and providing meds whenever necessary.Pierce had not bothered to return to the house and I forced myself to think thoughts that didn’t include him. Like the ongoing silent battle that I had going on with my sister.I sighed, deciding I had dropped a record number of calls on Bianca’s phone already, and climbed upstairs to look for Lily.She answered after a few knocks, with an impassive look on her face. I hadn’t said more than a monotonic sentence since the altercation with her after Ruth caught her snooping. She had no idea about Pierce’s grandfather forcing him to marry me for five years or my new plan to try and convince him otherwise. But I wasn’t there to talk about any of that.“Hey.” I swallowed. She leaned on the door and raised a brow. “I got nominated.”“I heard.”And I got no congratulations from her. Nice. No acknowledgment wha

    Everyone around me seemed to tense up, even the other guests and photographers on the red carpet, and I knew it wasn’t simply because he looked stunning and completely magnetic in his three-Pierce suit that accentuated his powerful shoulders, toned chest and razor-sharp jawline. I looked away from him, remembering I was supposed to be upset with him. He treated me badly at the meeting with his father. Ghosted me since then except for the time he wanted to kick me out of his event with Tami. I wondered where she was now. Maybe inside waiting for him.“Myra.” He called smoothly and I whipped my head to back to him. “You look absolutely riveting.” He smiled easily at me and extended his hand to me, and I swear a little part of me melted. I heard a camera try and fail to discreetly take a picture. We were still in public. That meant we had to act civilly in front of each other. “Thank you, Mr Blackwood.” I answered and he glanced down at his hand subtly.I fought the urge to throw a

    The ring that sat alone in the dark box was a beautiful sight. Almost otherworldly, like it had been snatched from a fairy’s grasp. A beautiful kite red Ruby gleamed in the center with smaller purple diamonds framing it, and other stones that seemed to change color whenever he moved it under the dim light.He pulled the ring out and replaced the box in his pocket. “It took the jeweler a while to understand what I wanted done, but it’s a perfect execution isn’t it?” He said softly, as he fidgeted with the ring. Then he looked up at me. “Perfect…for you.”“Pierce, what are you doing?” The words tumbled out of my mouth in a rush.“Take a wild guess, Myra.” I swallowed. “Let me make it easier for you.”Time seemed to slow around us as Pierce, with his eyes locked on mine, dropped down on one knee, with the ring extended to me.“You think you can survive a couple years with me?” He asked, low enough that I was the only one who heard him.I glanced towards my friends, confusion and trepidat

    “Fine.” I opened the fridge and pulled out an entire Tub of gelato. And put a scoop in a bowl. I turned to look at him to see if he knew where I was going with this.God I was patient, because I came him a few seconds to make the connection. I mean there wasn’t anything else that could happen to gelato that would count as a punishment.His eyes widened and I let myself smile. “No.” He said, more in disbelief than objection as I took out the bottle of ketchup from the fridge, opened it and emptied a LOT onto the gelato sitting in the bowl. “Myra…” he pleaded, and I smacked the bottom of the bottle to get more out. Quite unnecessary, but I liked the dramatic effect. I grabbed a spoon and mixed the whole thing together, gagging only once before I pushed the plate to him. “Eat that”“Myra.”“That’s the only apology I’ll take.” I crossed my hand over my chest. “Eat it, and maybe I’ll forgive you. You don’t have to though, it’s not important that I forgive you.”“Bloody hell, Myra.” He c

    “Now I want you to really think about every answer you give me. The second it feels like I’m being lied to, I will walk out of this hospital without a backward glance, are we clear?” She nodded again. “I need you to use your words Tami, no matter how much it hurts, even if you feel like dying, don’t worry, I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen. So… I’ll try to be quick. Uhh…when was the first time you tried to hurt me, like really hurt me?” They was that bob in her throat but she said nothing. I lifted a brow, waiting. When she remained silent I pushed my seat back and rose gingerly. “Wait…please!” She rasped, “I’ll t-alk.” I sat back down. “The first time…it was on set, the…pool.” “What happened at the pool, Tami?” Her eyes darted to me pleading. I gave no sign of sympathy. “the lights went off…I changed the signs in the cave to misdirect you…trapped you… I’m sorry.” “You did that yourself? Or you had help?” “…stunt director… he helped.” I nodded thoughtfully.

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   The confessional

    When we reached the private hospital, we were directed straight to where Leo was pacing outside a room I assumed Tami was in. I felt a pang in my chest as I looked at the man who had fathered me. The grim set of his jaws, his shoulders hunched as he circled the hall. He looked like he had aged several years since the Dionet party. Pierce pressed his hand to my back drawing my attention to his face. He was staring at Leo, contempt on his face. Leo’s first words to me after ‘hello, it’s your father.’ Was ‘what is your blood type?’ I could hear his relief through the phone when I said the dreaded AB-. Then he asked that I come to the hospital to help save Tami.Pierce had decided then that he had heard enough. For Leo to call for me to save Tami when only few minutes ago, she had tried to kill me. It seemed even funnier seeing as Pierce had suggested ending her life a seconds before his call came in. When I agreed to come to the hospital, my response seemed to stun not only Pierce.

  • He wants her back: The billionaire’s leading lady   The gift that keeps on giving

    First the emergency personnels passed with a woman on the gurney, in a dress I had first mistaken as deep red, before I realized-in horror- that it was just a blue dress soaked in so much blood. A guest had gotten hurt really badly, she looked lifeless from the paleness of her skin. But something else stood out, there was a black thing protruding from her belly. Was that a…Another chill worked it’s way up my spine when her unconscious face came to view.“Holy shit!” Hannah cursed. The next part of the parade was the officers, and the source of all the screaming. Sarah was bound by cuffs, doing her best to lengthen the time it took to get her from her to the doors. She had a cut on her eye and dark soot covering most of her arms, her dress was ripped in multiple areas. Her eyes turned murderous when she saw me. “You! Why won’t you just die!!!” She screamed. “I should’ve put a bullet through your brains a long time ago! I’m gonna kill you!!!! Let me go! Let me go you bastards!.” She

    Once the surprise of seeing me with Pierce wore off, we were joined on the dance floor by several other couples. He drew me closer to him and buried his head in my neck, no concern for what others in the room would think. “You smell wonderful.” He whispered and kissed my cheek fondly, and then kissed it again when I did not respond. I smiled at him my heart pounding in my chest. “Give me a minute, I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is really happening.” His arms tightened around me even more, which meant we were barely moving at this point. Just in the middle of the room, hugging. I leaned my head on his chest, and sighed with pleasure. “How was Heidi’s treak or treating?” He asked his chest rumbling as he spoke. “She had a lot of fun, and to much candy. We took a lot of photos, I’ll show you later.” I answered. “Can’t wait.” “Are your parents here?” ”Yes.” His head turned to a particular direction in the room and my eyes followed it to find

    “This is a whole new side of you Carter.“I admitted as he stepped closer. He shook his head and turned till he was facing the party too and people-watching with me. A couple passed us and my back straightened, a quick smile offered immediately. Look normal, a voice said in my head. “Nothing’s changed with me.” He started when they were out of earshot. He sounded awfully like the voice at the back of my mind. “You just happen to have caught me with Sophia, and built this wall in your head about how evil I am.” “I don’t know about you, but I consider cheating on your partner pretty evil.” He let out a sigh. “She means nothing to me, goddess. We can still work this out.” “I doubt that.” “Don’t do this,” he pleaded. “Do what?” “Pierce’s mystery woman tonight, it’s you isn’t it?” He chuckled under his mask, "I knew something like this was going to happen when you went to ‘help’ him.”Anger flashed in my eyes at his implication that I was cheating on him. “Which is why you spent the

    Tami and Sarah’s POVThey slipped through the party unnoticed, Tami, not quite caring, her focus on Myra.Sarah, seething at her invisibility, the same thoughts racing through their head. They would show them, they would show ALL of them. The guards situation at the exists barely gave them a second glance as they slipped out of the party. Taking the small hallway to the opposite hallroom. Away from all the noise and people. “I want to set them on fire, Tami said to herself. “I want to hear her scream and watch her face melt. That stupid ugly face.” She yelled, her nails digging into her head to slow the anger burning in her head. “They can escape a fire.” Sarah said smartly, peeking to make sure they were not followed, before she pulled a big painting back to reveal a hidden passage. Getting the plans to the building had not been easy, she had come here a few days ago to scope things out, make sure everything was fine, and their plan would go well. Tami had not been of help. The

    “Treak or treat!” Heidi screamed as soon as the doors to the house opened. Two hours walking the neighborhood with her and she was still as energetic as when we started. Me on the other hand? I was soo close to spreading out on someone’s porch.“What a very cute dino!” The woman with grey streaks in her hair said, beaming down at Heidi in her inflatable T-rex costume. Her eyes lifted to my getup. “And you’re matching with mum!”A smile crept up my face despite my tiredness. I wouldn’t say we matched entirely. I was in khaki colored pants and a matching shirt, my hair was tucked under a brown cowboy hat, and the words ‘jurrasic world’ was plastered on the front pocket of my shirt. “Did you know the T-rex had the strongest bite of any land animal in the whole world?” Yup, every house we went to got their own dinosaur fact. “Wow! I didn’t know that. I guess you deserve a treat.” The woman took out a handful of Reese’s, kit kat, and candy corns, among others, and dumped into Heidi’s ex

    Me and Pierce broke apart only once since we moved to his room. Him to get us breakfast, while I shot a quick text to Hannah and Angie, my cheeks flaming as I told her where I had spent the night(it felt very much like telling her ‘hey Angie, yes, I was absolutely getting railed by Pierce, the man I’m supposed to be NOT in love with.’) She sent me thumbs up emoji accompanied with a text that said Heidi was fine. After a quick meal and more sex we lay curled up beside each other.“…If you could see those photos Pierce.” I shuddered at the image of Ava leaning over Camilla that popped in my head. He drew me closer to him, his finger still drawing patterns over my breasts. I shivered for a whole new reason. “I can only imagine.” He muttered, his brows furrowed, “if only there was a way we could get Tami for her actions too. Her family’s image is ruined as it is. We could announce the links she had to Ruth, placing that accusation even in the media would be a big blow, but I don’t want

    Tami’s POV. The house was plagued with more tension than Tami had ever witnessed. An hour ago, a letter had arrived, and since then, they had sat in the living room, Tami watching her parents as they glared at each other, one in plain anger and the other in defiance. “I’m asking you again…what does this mean?” Her father bellowed, his eyes never leaving his wife. Ava scoffed, poorly hiding the fact that she had been shaken by the contents of the letter. “I don’t know Leo, how do you expect me to know? It’s likely a part of Pierce Blackwood’s smear campaign since Tami here went and pissed him off. Now our company is in ruin because your daughter.” A beautiful diversion, Tami noted, it was just like her mother to shift the focus. They still hadn’t explained to her what on earth was going on. The note had been simple. A warning from one of the family’s friends in court. One of the very few people who still stayed loyal to the Bakers. Even though it was because Ava had that video o
