Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 9. KEEPING IT
(Jen’s POV)“Are—are you sure, Doc?”It just couldn’t be.I mean, there was no way in hell that that was true,Right?“I’m pretty sure there’s been some mistake, like maybe I’ve had too much sugar this month and it has ruined my blood and urine samples, you know?” I rattled off head like I tended to do when I was feeling an emotion I hadn’t felt in a while, “I actually heard that those can bring about false reads. Perhaps, I can go home and come another day and retake the tests, it’ll turn out negative, you’ll see—”“Miss Morgan… Miss Morgan, calm down, please,” He cut me off again, “I’m afraid it doesn’t work that way.” The doctor calmly said, a surprising look of understanding present in his striking blue eyes. It made me… confused.Sad.Close to tears.But that wasn’t what I wanted from him?I needed him to do his fucking job and tell me that he had made a wrong diagnosis.I needed him to do something, anything… not stand there looking at me like he knew what I was going through?B
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 10. OPERATION SAY YES
(Jen’s POV) “So, what now?” I asked my best friend and confidante, as we watched a movie that evening, each of us cozily relaxing in our favorite armchairs as we ate dinner, (something about it making me think of Matt and how he would have freaked out were he to barge in and see us dining on his pristine white chairs.) the heater offering just the right amount of warmth to fight against the cool September night breeze. It was nowhere near December, but the atmosphere already had this Christmas vibe to it, even though I was feeling anything but Christmassy. Thankfully, my questioning coincided right with the end of the movie, some crappy romantic movie about a princess who had settled for someone who wasn’t royalty, and whatnot. The credits were rolling when Akira reached for the remote and muted it, giving me her full attention. She stretched lazily and stood up, taking her now empty plate that had earlier been filled with ramen noodles and heading over to the kitchen. I followed he
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 11. HER OWN VERSION OF THE TRUTH
Unfortunately for my best friend, she didn’t get to accompany me to work like she had wanted to. I guess this time I had her unpredictable work hours as Lawyer for one of the biggest auto companies in the country to thank for this saving grace.Because it would have honestly been embarrassing if she got to catch my rejection in 3D.You see, Akira had absolutely no idea just how rude I had been to my boss, and so she had very high hopes that he would easily reopen his business proposition and allow me to make some changes, but I knew better. As a matter of fact, I totally wouldn’t be surprised if he had already found someone to replace me, because hey… it was freaking Adonis Blackwell we were talking about for crying aloud… playboy billionaire extra ordinaire, Forbes Sexiest Man alive, the very man who went through women like I did underwear, using and discarding them as he pleased.He wasn’t going to wait for me?There was no way in hell he would.Take that and the fact that I’d not e
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 12. PUTTING ON A SHOW
(Jen’s POV) Alright, alright… I know I lied. No need to rub it in, jeez. I’ve already told you why I’m doing this, and so I’m not exactly about to explain myself all over again. But in short, it was my baby’s life we were talking about here, and I’ve already said that I was ready to do whatever it took to protect it no matter what, and so I wasn’t about to listen to a bunch of self-appointed moral police drone on about how despicable my plan to trap Mr. Blackwell was. Anyway, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, want to know what’s new in my life? Well, two days have already gone by, and while my boss and his lawyer, Mr. Aldridge were really trying to do whatever it took to delay my ex-husband’s release date, it became obvious with the rise and set of each day that he was surely going to be a free man by the time the month ended. But thankfully, the contract had been drawn up, and both my boss and I had signed it. It included a lot of clauses—sex, love and a whole lot of
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 13. THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY
(Jen’s POV)Low hanging chandeliers, soft, golden light, expensive wine, soothing music from some exclusive quartet band that seemed to be the ‘it’ thing if the excitement of the VVIP crowd gathered in the outrageously huge space were anything to go by… my eyes widened as I took it all in, my nails digging into Mr. Blackwell’s arm as he led me to the special table he had had chosen for what was supposed to be a special night.I couldn’t believe this man! When he had told me we were having a little engagement dinner this evening, I had taken it in the literal sense, expecting just about a few of his family members and perhaps a few friends too, but this, right before my eyes here was anything but. The people gathered here were no less than five hundred for crying out loud!And every single one of them had their gaze fixated on us.I was uncontrollably fuming at this point, but I reined it all in. Hey, we were lying to the man… the way I see it, his every action that I didn’t agree wi
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 14. THE EXPLOSIVE KISS
“Sure, Mrs. Blackwell,” I adjusted myself in my seat, giving her my full attention. “What is it that you want to talk about?” All the while I was saying this, I was analyzing her, trying to guess what this serious talk was about that she had waited for her son to leave so she could sink her claws into me to tell me about it.You know, now that I think about it, she could have totally waited for the whole party to be over before cornering me like this, it didn’t matter that my boss and I’s table was quite in a secluded corner far away from people’s curious gaze.It really had to be something very important.“Look, Jennifer…” Adonis’ mother started, “I know that when you agreed to come here tonight, this was the last thing you were expecting.” She admitted softly, surprising me a little bit with the line of conversation we were heading towards. “I know that at the very least, you hoped to meet us, his family alone before jumping into this, that you were imagining a small get together wi
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 15. THE NIGHT AFTER
CHAPTER 15- THE NIGHT AFTER(BLACKWELL)It seemed that no one expected that I’d get shackled so soon.Everywhere Jennifer and I passed, women blatantly threw themselves at me in front of her… and if I didn’t know any better, I could have sworn that the sudden announcement of my engagement had someway somehow made me even more eligible than when I was just a single playboy extraordinaire.Hey, I knew what the tabs called me, okay?It’s not like I’m conceited or anything, and besides, I didn’t even like all of that name calling anyway—wait, who am I kidding, I really enjoyed the attention… but really, for how long was I going to keep going down that path?A few weeks ago, I’d promised myself that I was going to change my ways…And perhaps, with Jen by my side, I could do just that now.But speaking of Jen, there was just something different about her— something I just couldn’t put my hands on. I mean, she was beautiful, but not the kind of person I’d usually go for in a woman… and yet,
Saved By The Playboy Billionaire 16. A MOTHER'S SACRIFICE
(Jen’s POV)I felt like the world’s worst person, lying to such a powerful man like that and telling him we’d had drunk sex when I knew very well that nothing of that sort had happened.If anyone had asked me a few months ago if I could be this calculative, I would chuckle in amusement and swear on my life that this could never be me, and yet, here I was today.You know, I’ll be very honest. Nothing of that sort had crossed my mind at first… there had been no wicked plots to get my boss into such a situation, but then I’d noticed how my fake fiancé kept chugging down drinks upon drinks after our kiss, and everything had just clicked into place.To think that initially, I was going to seduce him and have sex with him for real so I could pin my baby on him… but now, thanks to my smart thinking, I didn’t even have to anymore.My heart had been in my mouth with fear as he quizzed me on the night after, and I’d told him the weird fabrication. It was funny how after suffering to get him in
