LORETTA

He crossed the distance between us with long, furious strides that made the world narrow down to him

The traffic disappeared, the people on the sidewalk disappeared, even the ache in my heart disappeared

Even though Elion was striding towards me with a dead look in his eyes, the first thing I felt — actually felt was relief

He came.

For one reckless, almost humiliating second of it all, I wanted to break into a run and wrap my hands around him, to let his warm hands and scent comfor

  • Married To A Billionaire Nightmare    Chapter 151

    ELIONMy phone started ringing the moment I set it down. A frustrated groan sat at the top of my tongue; it was just ten in the morning, yet I had answered more calls than on regular daysI glared at the screen; this call was from an unknown caller ID, nothing unusual, just tiring and exhausting. I almost ignored this call, but it rang again and again. “Who is this?” I barked into the line. With the chaos Rea and I walked into this morning, I had officially exhausted my patience threshold for the entire year.A distorted male voice came through. “You asked me to find someone.”It took me two seconds to realize who this was. I immediately sat straighter and lowered my voice. “You took your fucking time.”“I told you it wouldn't be quick,” he continued in that distorted voice. Weeks ago, I had contacted my hacker to track down someone for me, but that was before Rea, and I gave in to our feelings for each other“Did you find him?” I asked, my eyes darting to my open laptop where two im

  • Married To A Billionaire Nightmare    Chapter 150

    ELIONI woke up before Rea.Usually, I liked lying there for a few minutes, watching her sleep, tracing the curve of her cheek and the slope of her back while pretending I wasn't completely fucking obsessed with her.This morning, I just couldn't.My mind had been running all night, and for some fucked-up reason, Sean's words wouldn't leave me alone.*What if Loretta Sterling is using your newfound feelings for her?*My jaw tightened. There was no way in hell I was doubting Rea now; I knew her; she wouldn't leak private information against me.I looked down at the woman sleeping against my chest. Loretta was curled into me, one hand resting against my stomach, her hair spread across my pillow.Peaceful, Beautiful and Mine.I gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face.Whatever Sean believed, I knew my womanLoretta stirred slightly, as if she could somehow hear my worrying thoughts. I had half a mind to punch myself for even entertaining the thought when we should have been cu

    LORETTA I didn't tell Elion about Heath, Not because I believed what that liar had said. Elion would never hurt me; he loves meRight?I knew that inside of me, I could feel his love beating alongside my heart, but that didn't stop some small sliver of doubt from creeping into my mindAnd that made me so angry that I was letting Heath get into my head when things were finally going right with Elion and meMy hands shook as I held the brown envelope Trevor had given me days ago; it had been in my purse all along, tucked deep and safe among my bags where Elion wouldn't come across.A shattered breath left me. “I should throw this away,” I said quietly to myself, standing in Elion's... our closet The smart thing would be to throw this envelope and whatever information it holds away, but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to; nor could I tell Elion about itSo I did what I always do— the cowardly thing— and I hid it back. “Rea.”I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard Elion'

    LORETTA A chilling cold rolled down my spine Of all the people I could have expected to see standing outside Fitzpatrick Holdings, Heath was the last.He smiled when he saw me; that smile made my stomach twist.I hadn't seen him in weeks, and honestly, I had no intention of ever seeing him again.I tightened my fingers around my phone. He crossed the street slowly, his eyes never leaving mine. “Loretta.”I didn't answer, and he stopped a few feet away from me, a frown forming on his lips. “You look happy.”My eyes narrowed to slits. “What do you want?”A flash of annoyance passed through his eyes, but it was gone in a blink. “Look, I know you're all lovely dovey with Fitzpatrick now, but I'm here to warn you about something that's coming, and I'm only doing this because I care”A mocking scoff left my lips; I eyed him in disbelief. “You came out here to warn me?”“Yes" He answered without hesitation. “You need to start preparing yourself.”I had half a mind to smack him across the f

    LORETTAI was happy Really, truly happy. The kind of happiness that comes from love, peace, and well... happiness Mid-work, I caught myself smiling at my computer screen for absolutely no reason.Okay, who was I kidding? I definitely had a reason, and that reason is a six-four, dark-haired, dark-eyed certain billionaire who happens to be on the same floor as I amA sigh slipped out of me as I rested my chin against my palm. Who knew that man had so many romantic bones in his body?Certainly not me.For months, I had known Elion Fitzpatrick as the coldest, most arrogant, infuriating man I had ever encountered. He could walk into a room and make everyone sit straighter without saying a single word.He could destroy someone's career with a phone call. He could stare at a person for five seconds and make them confess sins they hadn't even committed.And yet somehow, that same man had taken me to Paris. He had flown me there on his private jet. He had taken me to dinner beneath the Eiffe

    ELIONMy entire body went rigid, For a few seconds, I simply stared at Sean wondering how quickly I could dismember this man and hide the body parts. The words had come out of his mouth far too easily, like it wasn't my Rea we were talking about. “Be very careful what you imply next,” I warned Sean, the suicidal bastard, didn't back down. “I'm not implying anything" He lifted both hands in surrender “I am simply telling you that the Sterling connection is the most obvious lead we have.”“The Sterling connection,” I repeated coldly. “Or my fiancée Loretta?”His silence was answer enough. I pushed away from my desk, rising slowly, Sean's brows furrowed in worry. “Elion—”“Don't you dare” I snapped, every muscle in my body drawing tight. “Don't you dare sit in my office and accuse my fiancée of betraying me because she shares a surname with the man who tried to destroy me.” Hot anger coursed through my veins ans I swear to everything holy, if it weren't for the fact that Sean and I ha

    LORETTA I barely made it to the car before my legs gave outFather's grip on the steering wheel was tight. “That went...well”I didn't know if it was a question or not. Bile revolted in my stomach and rose to my throat “Drive” I wanted to be out of here, put as much distance between Elion and me

    ELION This city is beneath me.Everything else will be soon. It's only a matter of time. My jaw ticked once as I watched the bustle in the streets of Seattle, several floors beneath my office windows. Busy people moving in every direction: hurrying, rushing, sprinting, scrambling, running towards
