Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 21: I need him to help his dad out.
I walk over as cautiously as I can and I can see everyone is acting calmly. There aren’t that many guests in the house itself right now. Tieran’s secretary had them all moved outside.The tension I feel once I come near Tieran is bone-rattling.Though I can see nothing of it on his face, I know this is a surprise. They weren’t on the guest list.Malachi’s gaze shifts to me and lingers. It is consistently on me and I immediately become self-aware. Skye’s acrid tone floats into my ears, “Of course, Antonia is here too.If you can’t get one you go for the other I guess.”I see her flinch lightly when Tieran sets his gaze on her and then he shifts it to Malachi, “I don’t remember inviting your fiance.”Something in Malachi’s eyes tightens and the line of his jaw juts out as he responds, “She’s my friend, and I couldn't refuse her.”Malachi’s later words sound incredibly reluctant and his gaze looks annoyed, but his words are what set my heart thumping like a piece of stone skipping over w
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 22: Let me go.
I’m sitting at the bar when Malachi comes back. My body immediately puts me into flight mode but I stay right where I am. I already knew he would be coming back. I don’t know if i wanted that or not but i know I’m not scared enough of his presence to run. Especially when he’s playing this game of hurt with Tieran. Malachi smirks when he gets to me and the emerald green of his eyes gleam with a strange light. I can see the passion brimming in them when he stops in front of me and in a husky tone he rasps, “I’d do anything to see you out of those clothes right now, Antonia.” An old string of attraction suddenly flares at the sound of Malachi’s words. I’m immediately mortified. I feel like slapping myself and that feeling is soon buried. I respond sarcastically, “Would having some decency be part of the bargain too? Not every woman wants to be stripped naked while fully wearing her clothes y’know.” “Then let me take them off for you.” I look up again just so I can see the expression
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 23: You threatened my grandson?
Tieran’s pov. “Malachi says you threatened him.” I place my father at one end of the room and I take a seat at the other end. My hand itches for something to do, so I pick a pen and begin fiddling with it. It’s a nervous response that irritates me to find myself doing. My voice has the same monotonous cold tone as I respond, “What about it?”I hear the man I used to know once rise back up. I don’t have to see him to know a hardness has entered his eyes. If it wasn’t for his sickness, he would still be trying to do damage to the world, and even with his sickness, he can still do damage. His voice is dangerous as he speaks, “Do you really want to ruin everything you’ve worked for, Tieran? Threatening my grandson isn’t going to end well.”I look at him as I respond this time, “If your grandson wasn’t such a tattletale then we wouldn’t be having this conversation. You left your sickbed and came all the way just to see me because of him? That’s a lot of love from a man who never showed
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 24: Dancing in the Moonlight.
Antonia’s pov. ‘You’re leaving Malachi aren’t you, Antonia?” Grandfather’s voice echoes in my ears as I sit on a couch in one of the rooms in Tieran’s mansion and the discussion we had replays. I sigh because I couldn't even hide it. I couldn’t tell him that I was going to stay behind and still be with Malachi. Something about my encounter with Malachi earlier made me unable to, so I said the truth, and now… Malachi’s grandfather has asked me to come back to the mansion. He wants me to stay till the end of the month because he’s dying and the doctor says he won’t make it into next month. The darkness of my grandmother’s death and the grief of it resurfaced faster than I could realize. It felt like he was in her position. Like she was somehow alive again, and this time I had a chance to be with her on her deathbed. The door comes open with a soft click and I direct my eyes to it. Tieran’s form is solid in the light coming in from the hallway. Compared to the softer light in here an
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 25: Antonia the Tycoon.
My father stares at me with blank, dead eyes and I don't know what hurts more. The pain that he’s going through or the fact that I'm the one making him go through it.I wish someone were here with me right now, but no one is so I have to face this alone. I get up from the table and walk over to my father, sitting on the seat beside him and taking his hand in mine. I ask the most honest question I can, “You trust me? Don’t you, dad?”He tries to put a smile on his face and I see how hard he’s trying to do that. He's just gotten me back, and now I'm going off again.“I wish you didn’t have to feel indebted to any of them, Antonia.”My father’s voice is sad even though his eyes radiate feeling and warmth. “I wish I was there from the beginning so you didn’t have to feel indebted to anyone. Your marriage should have been one of love and value, not something you had to count as a favor from someone, a favor which you now have to repay.”I realize immediately that my father and I see things
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 26: Well, look who couldn’t stay away?
Leaving the Elcot mansion fills me with a bittersweet feeling. It’s hard watching my father stay at the entrance while I get into the car and drive off. I’ve explored as much of the grounds as I could these past few days, but I know there’s still so much more he wants to show me. So much more I need to see. My hand rests on my belly and I remember the baby growing within. A million different thoughts run through my head and I push them off. I can’t think of that now. If the baby comes, then it comes. I need to be someone of repute and dignity before that happens, and I need Malachi to know he’s not the boss of me. No one is. Not even the one who was my husband and boss. The chauffeur drives me to the Finn mansion, and looks back as he asks, “Shall I take the bags down, Miss Antonia?”. As we rehearsed, he didn't refer to me as Miss Elcot. I take a deep breath and nod, getting down from the car too and taking in my surroundings like it’s the first time I'm here again. The Finn mansi
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 27: Mrs Antonia is back, Master Finn.
Malachi’s pov.“A call has come in for you Mr Finn.”I raise my head to look at the door and the wireless receiver in my new secretary’s hand. I ask coldly, “Did you learn how to forward a call when you had your orientation?”She nods slowly, a sheepish look in her eyes and an embarrassed blush on her cheek. I suppress the irritation in my eyes and return to the trade deal I was perusing as I respond, “Do that, and if that call cuts before you do, consider your job also cut.”The new secretary dashes back out like her skirt has just been set on fire. Exasperation has me clenching my jaw because this is what I have to deal with now. A sappy female who tries to do everything in her power to come into my personal space.She could have informed me over the system that I had a call, and then forwarded the call without having to leave her seat. But ever since she’s come she’s had this belief that she needs to swish her hips seductively around me.She also seems to believe she needs to have
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 28: None of this is your fault.
Antonia’s pov. I thought the main conflict would happen when Malachi was back and I was prepared for it, but Sienna seems to have prepared herself for more than that because it isn’t even evening yet, and she’s already making me mad. She was going through my bags! Anger and rage boil and bubble up in me but I tell myself to calm down. Letting her get me angry isn’t going to solve anything. Sienna Finn has never understood the concept of personal space when it didn’t suit her. But that’s not my problem. I’ve locked the room with my bags inside it and taken the key with me. “Antonia!” Malachi’s tone is dark and filled with anger when I hear it and I turn to find him stalking towards me. He grabs me by the arm the moment he’s near me and glares into my eyes menacingly. “What is the meaning of this Antonia?” The anger and rage I was feeling before come back to me all too freshly and I yank my arm trying to get away from his grip. Malachi’s hold is firm and I can see the pleasure in
