[Addison]

My best friend hands me a little plastic cup. “I brought my medical kit,” she explains. “I didn’t want there to be anything to trace back to you. We can easily flush or burn a test strip, but one of those little plastic wands are impossible to destroy. Once you pee on them, it’s like they never go away.”

She’s right. If I were to use a traditional test strip and throw it away, the press would find it. If I put it in my purse, it could be discovered during a search of my belongings. Even if I managed to get it home, it would only be a matter of time before it was discovered by somebody, maybe a servant or a security guard needing a bit of extra cash.

And once the press, or even worse, the enemy, got hold of it, the damage that knowledge could cause to my family is immeasurable. Our image has already been tainted enough between the speculation swirling around the house fire and the press coverage my divorce has brought onto Grant Corp, with the gossip about our relationship sp

Okay I guess I’m just going to maybe come back to this book when there’s more of a build up of chapters. That’s my fault for starting it before finished. Author, this book has been really good and I wish you future success but I personally just can’t read books by chapter without a schedule.

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 170

    [Vanessa] The handsome man brushes a long auburn strand of hair from his hazel eyes and laughs, “I’m your date, Addison, remember? Is it the mask?”The young gentleman blinks down at me, his hazel eyes framed by an elegant, golden mask. The gold looks perfect on him, matching his white jacket edged in gold. For this event he chose to not wear a shirt, and his beautifully chiselled model’s body is painted in gold, his large dragon tattoo ornamented with body jewels, including a large red ruby in the dragon’s claw, and amber decorating the dragon’s eyes. “I’m sorry, you just startled me,” I smile, moving my eyes away from his very exposed nipple which is peeking at me from around his lapel. The diamond studded bar piercing his nipple is startling as rainbows dance from its surface. As I look up from his surprisingly decorated chest, his dancing eyes glow with laughter as our gazes match. I was so lost thinking about Hunter that for a moment I had forgotten that Adam was my date for t

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 169

    [Vanessa]“Me?” My face feels stiff as it twists in surprise, “How?”I didn't hurt him, not his body anyway. Maybe his pride a bit with some of the cruel jabs I hurled at him in my anger and frustration, but he's a big boy, he can handle an insult or two. He's just using this as an excuse because he doesn't want to face me tonight. Fine. Then he'll have to deal with the consequences of his actions. I won't cheat on him--I'm far too loyal for that. Even when Michael cheated on me, I didn't move on to Hunter until after our divorce was final, even though the attraction between me and my new employer was strong. It's not in my nature. When I give my heart, I give everything. But that doesn't mean I can't torture my big bully jerk fiance for thinking it was okay to decieve me. He wants to be sneaky, well I can be sneaky too. “He said he needed a bit of time to heal from a workout injury.” She smirks, trying to hide it behind a fake cough. "Something about a sparring exercise." I’d li

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 168

    [Vanessa]I want to tell Livy everything, to finally give her the truth. I feel bad keeping her out of this little secret. But the walls have ears, two of which are attached to Jessica’s head. She’s looking down at me, her mouth opened slightly in surprise as her mind jumps to exactly the correct suspicion. There’s something about her that I don’t trust, that I’ve never trusted. And as her eyes widen with realization, her lips puckering as she prepares to announce the truth, I scramble to say the first thing that comes to mind."Oh, I’m wearing a protective vest under my dress," I lie smoothly. "There are some really bad people who want to hurt us. I have to try and keep safe at all times.” Livy seems to like this idea a little too much and I feel extra guilty that it isn’t true. Maybe, considering my condition, I should wear a vest to conceal and protect my growing bump. But how do I ask for something like that without drawing suspicion? Hopefully after tonight that won’t be an iss

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 167

    [Vanessa]How could I say no without looking like a monster? As I look between her big, wide, innocent hazel eyes, I can’t blame my little girl for wanting to keep something she’s wanted for so long. Looking up at Jessica’s barely concealed smirk, I realize that she’s enjoying this far too much. She wants to look like the benevolent big sister. She’s never liked me much, and now it seems like she’s trying to put a wedge between me and Livy.“Please Mama,” Livy squeezes the doll a little tighter. “I want Jessica to stay. She’s fun. And maybe she can play the mushroom game with us,” she blinks between Jessica and Sylvie.” Sylvie nods, while doing her best to keep her smile in place even though she looks like a very uncomfortable third wheel as she reaches down for Livy’s free hand. “Come along, Miss Livy. Your Mama wanted to make sure you had a nutritious dinner,” she frowns at the basket of candy. “You should eat your veggies first.” Livy pouts, looking over at all of her favorite tr

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 166

    [Vanessa]Before my workout, I had been depressed about the idea of going out on a date, pretending to like someone else as part of a cover act while knowing my fiancé is out there somewhere watching me from afar. But now, as I place a strand of blue pearls around my neck, knowing they are a gift from Hunter, it feels like I am dressing up for him. And I guess, in some ways, that's exactly what I am doing.The seamstress was discreetly silent as she let out my dress, promising me that the sheer overlayer with its empire cut would be enough to hide the alterations. "Nobody will know," she whispered with a small half smile. "I keep my clients' secrets." "Thank you," I had squeezed her hand in true gratitude. I need to remember to give her a generous bonus for her discretion. There are so many people who would take the opportunity to spill a secret like that to the wrong ears. If Debrassy knew the truth, that I'm carrying Hunter's heir, he'd use it against him, as a way to draw him out

  • Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King   Chapter 165

    [Vanessa]The way he crosses his arms and stares me down leaves little doubt in my mind on who my guardian really is, even if he looks completely different from the man I love. Realizing why, his protective nature and haughty attitude makes so much more sense. I was a fool not to figure out this game of his sooner. But a gut feeling isn’t real evidence. I need to test my hypothesis and use my scientific mind to see things more clearly. Which means I need to conduct a little experiment. What’s the worst that could happen? “You can’t stop me from doing a goddamned thing, Mr. Andrews,” I remind him as I walk towards the hand weights, reaching down to pick up a 10lbs weight in each hand. “You work for me, remember?”His face red, his nostrils flaring, Mason looks like an angry bull as he marches across the room to snatch the weights from my hands. “Mrs. Grant, I must remind you that your doctor did not clear you to work with weights.” “She said light exercise,” I cross my arms, smirki
