THEON

This was the last place I wanted to be right now. Thoughts of a certain dark-hair racked my skull again, making me feel angsty once again. For some reason, concentrating on work was hard, and it wasn’t just due to the fact that I wasn’t a fan of the kind of company that was being run anyway.

“Mr. Murphy,” a familiar voice forced me to snap out of my dazed stare at the computer screen before me and turn in its direction.

Aaron stood in front of my desk, a stack of files in his hands. “The papers you requested for, Sir.”

I inclined my head for him to place them down on the desk and he obliged. I riffled through the stacks, dating as far back as ten years ago.

“Can I ask why you need to see the financial records from ten years ago, Sir?” Aaron asked.

He usually knew when to stay out of issues that were none of his concern, but given that he had worked that long for my father and knew a lot about the happenings of the company, it wouldn’t hurt to ask some questions of him.

  • My Billionaire Rebound   A GOOD LAUGH

    ALINA"You totally left us hanging two nights ago," Mila scolded as soon as we took our seats around the small table in the cozy diner.The air smelled of grilled meat and garlic sauce, and there was the hint of apples somewhere in the midst of that smoky aroma. My mouth instantly watered as my eyes traveled around the small space.The tables were arranged in rows of fives and columns of threes, most of them looked old and used, with small scrapes and markings to show that it had been home - even though for just a few minutes - to someone, or some family.A tug went through my heart, and I smiled. It had been an awfully long time since I'd been in a place like this.Dinner outside with Zach wasn't frequent, but whenever it did happen, it was in posh rooms that I could never single-handedly afford. It was almost liked I'd been ripped completely out of the world I knew and placed in a new one, controlled by him."Alina? Are you okay?" Mila sounded concerned now. She took hold of my hand

  • My Billionaire Rebound   LITTLE FIGHT?

    THEONI stared at my phone for a long time, for some reason, unable to put it down. My eyes were still fixed on the last text I had left for Alina. What the hell was wrong with me? It was just a kiss to appease the crowd and stop them from thinking anything other than what we wanted them to, but the look on her face when she returned from the restrooms last night still haunted me and filled me with a sense of protectiveness that didn’t exactly come with common sense.“It’s not going to talk to you if you stare at it any longer, you know?” Bryon sounded bored as he sat across from me in the quiet office.My gaze landed on his and he rolled his eyes, leaning up and against the table between us with his elbows. “I’d never understand people in a relationship. How do you move from eating each other up to not being able to leave a single text?”Lines formed between my brows. “What the fuck are you talking about?”“The phone you’re gripping like a lifeline?” He pointed at the phone still cl

  • My Billionaire Rebound   CAME A BIT CLOSE

    ALINAMy head was still in all the wrong places as I walked into the hospital this morning. Thankfully, Theon had let me off the hook when I returned from the restroom, feigning a headache and wanting to go home.Bits and pieces of that conversation with the stranger, whose name I still didn't know, found their way into my mind every time I tried to settle into a task that should be familiar. "Are you okay?" Tati's voice called from behind me, causing me to startle.My palm was to my chest as I turned to face her. "Jeez! You scared me."She eyed me closely, as if she was trying to read the thoughts in my head through my eyes."What the hell is going on with you? You look like you've seen a ghost, or been to hell and back, or both." Her voice lowered in a whisper. "Is everything alright between you and Theon? Did something happen at the gala?"I shook my head, contemplating on whether or not I should tell her about the issue on my mind."Marcus," Sarah, one of our fellow nurses, calle

  • My Billionaire Rebound   STRANGER DANGER?

    ALINA There wasn't a single thought about where we were or how inappropriately we held onto and savored each other.My moan was hot and desperate. The sound made Theon pull me even closer, his arms around me tightening like steel bands around me.A throat clearing behind us forced us to pull apart, begrudgingly might I add."I love the show, but I don't think it's appropriate for the audience." It was Theon's cousin, the one I'd been dancing and laughing with just moments before Theon pulled me away. His head leaned against mine, a heavy breath falling past his nostrils before he opened his eyes."What's up, Bryon?" He asked.I expected his voice to be gruff, I was without a doubt that mine would be, but instead he sounded put together, maybe even detached from the emotions that were threatening to consume me.Bryon laughed. "I don't think I've ever seen you jealous, bro. It's quite a good look on you."My head was still placed against his chest, partly from embarrassment. The othe

  • My Billionaire Rebound   IT'S GETTING HEATED

    THEON“We don’t really need one. All we have to do is act like we’re enamored with each other and we’re good to go.”The way she focused on the window instead of me left a gap in my chest, but maybe it was for the best that we maintained this distance. We were both unready to delve into the full heat of a relationship, and I was…“We’re here, Sir.” Our driver for the night announced. I nodded my head at him and unclasped my fingers from around Alina’s. She finally turned back to look at me and I offered her a smile that was at most just polite.“Are you ready to wow them tonight?”Her lips tipped in the ghost of a smile, but every feature of her face was soaked in nerves.“There’s no reason to be nervous,” I encouraged her. “They’re going to love you.”“You don’t know that,” she whispered back, as if she was scared the throngs of photographers just on the other side of the car would be able to hear her if she spoke any louder.“You want me to do something to help you feel less nervou

    THEONThe door to my office creaked open slowly, after I had ignored the knocking that came from it for the third time. I already had an idea who it was, but that didn’t stop me from rolling my eyes as Ava's head popped in through the small space.“For how long do you plan on hiding out here?”She stepped into the office and clicked the door shut behind her. She knew I didn't want to talk right now, it was pretty much apparent from the look on my face, but that didn't stop her from dropping onto the sofa at the other end of the room and plopping her heeled feet on the armrest.I decided to not give her a response, but when has that ever deterred Ava?“Look, Theon, the grouch thing is only appealing for so long, and believe me, you’ve already exceeded the limit for that.”I raised my head, locking my eyes on hers. “Good thing I wasn’t trying to seem appealing to you.”She rolled her eyes. “You know damn well that I'm not referring to myself.”“Do I?” I mumbled.I didn’t want to have th
