She's Not Invited

*Grant*

Aunt Hattie sits across from me in my office, a huge binder splayed between us on my desk. It’s difficult for me to even look at the woman, considering everything she’s done to my wife. But she’s here to discuss Grandmother Trudy’s retirement party, so I have no choice but to listen and pretend like I give a damn what she thinks.

Thankfully, my mother is also here. That softens the blow a bit.

“We could do an ice sculpture,” Aunt Hattie suggests. “We could have the artist sculpt it in the shape of Trudy. She’d like that.”

I arch an eyebrow. “You think Grandmother would like to see herself melting all over the banquet room floor?”

She scowls at me. “It won’t melt! Not before the party is over, anyway. Haven’t you ever seen an ice sculpture before, Grant?”

“I have, but they’re usually outside and at Christmastime, not in the middle of an office building for a retirement celebration. Should we release a few dozen doves, too, and have them flying around, crapping on everybody and

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Celebrate in Bed

    *Anna*Grant’s face is alarming, but it doesn’t seem to be bothering him enough that he doesn’t want to celebrate the passing of the baton from Grandma Trudy to him.Right now, the only baton I’m thinking about is the one between his legs.I stand before him completely naked and let him admire what he sees. His smile says it all. I can’t get his clothing off him fast enough. I start with his tie while he strips his jacket off, but when I reach for the buttons on his shirt, he grabs hold of the top and rips. All the buttons go flying, we both laugh, but then I press my hands to his smooth chest, and I’m not laughing anymore. His chiseled muscles ripple down to his abs. Below that, the bulge in his pants lets me know how excited he is, and I need him even more.I climb onto the bed and move back, watching him unbutton his pants, tug down the zipper, and slip them over his hips, along with his briefs. God, my husband is so unbelievably hot. My fingers slide down my stomach and between my

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Sucker!

    *Grant*My eye explodes in pain as I stumble back and try to keep my feet under me. I can’t remember the last time I was sucker punched, but it had to be in middle school.Carson comes at me again, but this time, I’m ready. My cousin is clearly drunk off his ass, and I don’t want to hurt him, but I can’t let him hit me again either. He swings, and I catch his arm, flip him around, and put him in a chokehold. All around us, women are gasping, and the crowd backs away.“What in the world is this?” Grandmother Trudy shouts as she comes over, her mouth hanging open in shock.“Carson just punched Grant in the face for no reason!” my mother exclaims, rushing over. “We should call the police!”“Mom, we don’t need to call the police,” I assure her. Carson is doing his best to get free of me, but he must’ve used every ounce of energy he had to throw that punch because he’s not making any progress.“Get security,” Grandmother Trudy says to no one in particular, and four random people rush off l

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   I'll Cry If I Want To

    *Anna*Helping Barbar is something Anna would do, not something A. Savage would do, but if I’m going to be merging the two of them, I suppose I should start making Ms. Savage a little more humane.Still, the entire time I tried to help her get the punch out of her hair and find her a new dress, she cried and carried on. She cursed me–Anna, that is–over and over again, sobbing to her mom about how much she loved Grant and wanted me to be… dead.Lovely.So when I saw the hideous dress the staff found in the lost and found, and the staff said that was the only formal dress they had in Barbara’s size, I tried to convince her I liked it. I guess that was a bit evil of me, but no one can convince me she didn’t deserve it.Now, I’ve listened to the speeches. I see everyone going over to kiss Trudy’s ass. Others are congratulating Grant. It’s difficult to be so close to my handsome husband and not be able to talk to him, dance with him, or even acknowledge him without raising eyebrows. We don

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   The Aftermath

    *Grant*Barbara is sitting on the floor, covered in punch almost the same shade as her dress. Tears stream down her cheeks, rivulets of pink running down her chest and pooling on the ground around her. She looks like a hot mess, and everyone in the entire event center is staring at her.It’s actually Anna who leaps into action first. “Someone get some paper towels,” she says as she rushes over to help Barbara get up out of the puddle of misery. Barbara is so distraught, she doesn’t even push her away. I fully expect her to shout at Anna–A. Savage at the moment–and accuse her of shoving her, but she latches onto her arm, getting Anna wet in the process. Grandmother Trudy barks orders like only she can do. “Get a mop! Someone get that table up. Wash the punch bowl out and refill it. Where is this girl’s mother?”Anna has Barbara up and is moving her toward the bathroom. A staff member runs out with a wad of paper towels, and Anna starts sopping up the excess punch clinging to Barbara’s

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   My Work Here Is Done

    *Anna*“Name, please,” the girl behind the lectern says as I approach the entrance to Grandmother Trudy’s retirement party. I don’t even want to be here in the first place, but this woman is staring at me like I’m an insect, and she’s ready to pull out her magnifying glass.“A. Savage.” I force a smile. That’s what this entire evening is going to be about, after all—making myself smile when I really want to rip everyone’s hair out of their heads and strangle them with it.She looks down her list, her expression flat, like she’s bored to tears. When she reaches the bottom of page four, she says, “No, sorry. You’re not on the list. Please take this woman, who’s clearly wearing a dress off the rack from a department store, to the exit.” She looks at the security guard standing next to her, and he starts over.“What? What do you mean I’m not on the list? And how dare you insult my dress! Check again.” I’m not budging. After all the trouble I went to to get here, the last thing I’m doing i

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Who Are You?

    *Grant*It’s odd, riding to my grandmother’s retirement party without my wife. As of late, I’ve gotten used to going everywhere with Anna. But I can’t take her to this party because she wasn’t invited.I did contact my grandmother about it because I felt it would sound strange if I didn’t, and until Anna is ready to tell everyone the truth, I don’t want to give anyone any clues as to what’s really going on. I just told her I was disappointed in her choices, and she said it’s her party, and she’ll do what she wants.So here I am, in the back of a black luxury car, being driven to the party on my own. Another driver will arrive with my wife–wearing her A. Savage costume–a bit after I get there. She likes to be fashionably late, and she’s not planning on staying very long.The car pulls up to the event center, one of the many we have built over the years, and there are a lot of photographers outside snapping photos. I hate this. Why must the paparazzi hound us when it’s just a retirement
