Married to A Cruel Billionaire

Beady black eyes stared back as I tilted my head to inspect more. One eye briefly closed and opened back. Frowning I shook my head and looked again, but they were still. My cheeks puffed out a mouthful of air as I glanced out the glass window at the cafe. That's what happened when you stared at a teddy bear mug for half an hour. Hunter fecking King was supposed to meet me in here, yet there was no sign of him. Two days ago, I called Mr. King senior to meet the junior before I finalized anything. I had to know if things would work between us. Now, with this conduct, I was afraid the conclusion would be in their favor. Just when I stood up huffing from my seat, a shiny black Aston Martin Rapide pulled over right outside the cafe, and a tall, slender figure in a black Armani suit stepped out. In a matter of seconds he was swarmed by the passersby girls like a herd of female bees around their male queen, err... male king? Rig

Walking down the hall, questions began popping in my head making me rethink going there. What if it never works out between us? What if he never likes me? What if it's all a conspiracy? What if I'm left unhappy forever? What if... Soon my head became a warzone of several 'what ifs', and the war slowly made its way through my mouth to my heart as my mouth felt dry, and my heart pounded against my ribcage like a mad prisoner ready to break free.The door opened, and I stood there, my feet seemed to have frozen. A squeeze in my hand made me look up."Everything will be alright, princess," dad assured with a smile on his face. Nodding, I stepped into the red carpet and walked through the aisle. There were few people present, sitting in the benches chattering. All heads turned towards me, men sending smiles while the women decided on glares. From between, the identical faces of my twin aunts stood out as they waved at me

  "Julia ma'am doesn't like the name Julie, yet Karen ma'am keeps calling her that," Bella said, her dainty build shaking from laughter along with mine as she shared the two women's battle tale.    "Karen's a savage!" I commented, somewhat proud at her boldness even at this age.   "They're always ripping each other's hair, and poor Mr. King, sir gets crushed between them. It's so funny to watch."   My smile tightened at the mention of Mr. King. "Yeah." Poor, my foot!   Bella was helping me unload my suitcases and arrange the clothes in the closet. The war between Julia and Karen was certainly hilarious to watch as per Bella stated. I shouldn't be praying so, but I very much looked forward to witnessing more of that comedy war. My eyes darted to her as something else crossed my mind.   "Tell me about Hunter."    The weather of the room d

Yesterday was a hectic day. I called Ana later at night to check on her. She was alright. Matt called her twice since the incident which was really sweet of him. I was more than glad for what he did for Ana. If anything was to happen to her, I wouldn't be able to live. She was my sister more than she was my friend along with Beth. Since our childhood, we had been facing everything good and bad together. Once when we were in kindergarten, Ana stood up to my bullies for me even though she was the most sensitive and sweetest girl in the school. That day I knew I couldn't be weak anymore. I had to be strong. She was the reason I could look people in the eyes now without cowering away.Today I decided to explore the library. I had been waiting for this since the day I first stepped foot into this heavenly place. Political section... historical section... business section... accounting section... journals... The heck! A

I took a sip of my virgin cranberry sangria and slammed the glass down on the counter. Couldn't put up with gentlemanly manners for longer, could he? Had to leave me here all alone like the jerk he was. Glaring at the innocent glass, I took another sip from it. The cold liquid went down my throat smoothly, calming my temper a bit. Mhm, it was good. How did they make this stuff so delicious? I took another sip and more sips until someone interrupted by tapping on my shoulder. "Darling, what are you doing here alone?" I turned my head. "Ah, hi, Mrs Arthur! Hunter had to g-""I know, dear. The men are busy discussing business matters. Why don't you come join us ladies there?" She pointed to a large group of women gathered in a corner.I gulped. "Sure." I sent a tight smile, took another large sip, then got up and followed her to join them.First five
