What do you do when your smoking-hot, billionaire husband is still in love with your sister? Not ideal circumstances. However, your sister lives abroad so you can try and make your husband fall in love with you instead. But what do you do when said sister returns home after five years abroad and immediately tries to get back together with your husband? Divorce him of course! Everyone would be happy about that! Your mother-in-law from hell certainly will be. Your sister in law might even do a little happy-dance. Even your own mother would be thrilled that you’re divorcing! But considering you’re divorcing the most powerful man in the city…a man who doesn’t have the words “divorce” or “no” in his vocabulary….it might not be so easy to become single again as you originally thought… because Kings marry for life!
View MoreThe door opened again and then quietly closed shut. Thank God. We really hired some competent people. I really didn't want to talk to anymore people. I just wanted to soak my problems away! I should probably just get that divorce. Not for Carrie or my mother's sake. Or even James' sake. But for my own. I deserve a happily ever after. I deserve to be loved in return just as much I love. At the very least I deserve to have someone freaking listening to me when I open my month and confess my secrets. Not just someone who pretends to listen and instead think about work or another woman and only returns to the present when I ask a question. I really cannot believe that I didn't realize it before. I guess love really does make you stupid at times. "Well...this looks cozy-Room for two in there?" a smooth voice asked. I shot straight up in the tub, quickly realizing that the door opening had not been Lisa with my robe and towel. But instead my suit-clad husband...who was taking off hi
Arriving home after a....challenging day....I briefly saw James' black loafers were gone and guessed he was probbaly still at the office. Excellent! I wanted nothing more than to drink a large glass of white wine while having a lovely bath. I wanted to just....soak...the sweat and grime of the city off my body. This summer had been non-stop rain followed by a now 2 month long heatwave and the heat has been unbearable-on a good day! The sweating nonstop is a chronic condition for everyone right now...especially if you leave any airconditioned rooms. I felt I was beginning smell rather ...ripe. So a bath was now at the top of my to-do liste! Normally, when Im home, I like to do most things I want to do by myself and rarely actually rely on the staff for mundane tasks, but today I asked one of the maids to fill up the tub with water and to get me a large glass of a lovely white wine before sending them out of the house. I went to the kitchen and took out the couple of steaks from the f
I should have just gone straight home, turned up the AC og sleep the day away. But I was still in an angry and bitchy mood and very hungry now that I missed out on the amazing looking brunch, so I stopped at Pascals and got their delicious steak salad, a chocolate chip coockie and a lemonade to-go, and then went directly to the warehouse to eat my food and have my meeings. I hadn't been lying to my mother when I said I had other meetings todays. But this mornings interaction bothered me more then I thought it would have. I mean... I know this move would come eventually. With my mother's ambitions for her first born, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. My mother has always been very clear as to who was and still is the favorite child and made no lies about that. There was an heir and and couple of spares and my big brother and I was the spares. And I've always known Carrie hated my guts. This "intervention" of theirs was exactly something they would do. But I truly do
"Your sister is here to join us! Isn't it wonderful that she's finally home?!" My mother beames at my sister as though she just invented the wheel right in front of us. I stop and quietly ask my mother. "What is she doing here?" I really should have expected it. This is something my mother would do. A disguised set-up is right up her alley. I really don't know why it surprised me to see Carrie here. I really should have expected it. Carrie places the small fan onto the table, stands up and looks at me and say "Josefine. Long time, no see little sister. You look...haggard. I suppose Father Time has been rather cruel to you." Nice. Years apart with absolutely no contact of any sort and thats her first comment to me. "Mother, I have to say. Im disappointed in you. Hello to you too, Carrie. Now I know you two brought me here for a reason and its not 'brunch', so...why am I here? Whats wrong with an email?" Carrie smirks at me as though she finds me funny while my mother looks.
“Wait....you’re meeting my sister and your former lover at the city’s most romantic restaurant and you DON’T think it’s a big deal?!?!?!” I almost yelled at him."Well...When you say it like that it sounds bad and wrong." he said."For F...'s sake! It IS fucking wrong, James! You do not meet your wife's sister at the city's most romantic restautant for an innocent business meeting or even for an 'lets-catch-up-and-have-dinner-and-drinks' thing. How can you not see that? Why do I have to explain such an obvious thing to you?!" I yelled. "Tone it down, Josefine! Don't yell at me. Carrie picked the restaurant at random, Im sure. The restaurant didn't exist when she still lived here. She just needs business advice and Im happy to give it to her if it can help her readjust to being back in the city more quickly." James argued. "Oh she'd love the attention from the press. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd been the one to call them in the first place. Carrie has never done anything not calcu
Adam, my driver and unofficial bodyguard at times, easily recognized my need for a quiet moment and just asked where to and nothing more. Usually, we chitchat back and forth about his beautiful Italian wife, his four way-too-beautiful daughters and his Italian Nonna's food and my efforts to immitate that woman's brilliant cooking and failing again and again. Adam's grandmother owned the best Italian joint in town and I had met her several times. A Queen of pasta if there ever was one. Needless to say, I could always keep the conversation going with Adam...However, today he took one look at me and let me have my peace. I couldn't stop my thoughts running wild. Damn, I could still taste James in my mouth. Why did he have to confuse me with that body of his? Why did he have to look like Adonis and why the hell did I have to be extremely attracted to that? Why couldn't he just have kissed me like that on our freaking wedding night?! Oh yeah...The ghost of Carrie still haunted us. I needed
“Yeah…we’re not getting divorced. No way in hell.” Now I know he mumbled something. I just didn't register the words at the time. I was too busy enjoying the taste of his mouth. He tasted of a combination of liquorice, mint and strangely delicious cucumber - a weird combination. But it worked for him. Damn, did it work. His hand sled futher down my body, feeling every inch of me and it grabbed my ass cheek in a firm grip. YES! I've been dreaming about his hands exploring my body for more than a freaking decade!More. I want more! His tongue had just bitten down on my lower lip, giving me just a smidge of pain. Huh...who knew? Pain could be a turn-on...cause....I wanted more of that. MUCH more of that!As he gently bit down, his landline phone in his office began ringing. Yes, James had a landline. Why? No clue. Whenever I asked him or his staff why James appeared to be stuck in the past with a landline in his home office, everyone just answered the same thing; “it’s important he
James was starring at me. With those piercing and stormy eyes of his that had frightened world leaders with a single look, made women wanting to drop to their knees in public og frozen CEOs in their place. "What?" I asked him. "At no point did I say that I wanted a divorce NOR accept an annullment." He stated firmly. "That may be, however I will not accept being a wife to a husband with a mistress. Even in a contract marriage." I told him in no uncertain terms. "Josefine, I told you that if Carrie ever came back you should prepare youself. I told you plans may change. Not that they will change. And yes, I do have feelings for her, but I haven't processed those feelings yet. I think we have a decent marriage. We get along. The public like us together as husband and wife. You are well liked, not just in high society circles but by all. I know you and take care of yo-" "I DON'T CARE!" I scream at him! Fucking Bastard! I'm so angry with him that my entire body was shaking with adren
James King, the most powerful man in Montonia, stood frozen as if he was held at gunpoint by my question. I just stared at him. Damn....Why did he have to look so damn good? I could just stare at him all day. I could even feel my heartbeat increase....again. "Excuse me?" He finally managed I look around us and although we appeared to be alone, James was pap. favorite and they'd learned to hide to avoid lawsuits, he'd happily through their way if he saw them stalking him for a picture "Lets go to your office, so we wont be overheard." "Why can't we talk right hear?" He argued back. "We can. But I can't guarentee there won't be any pics or that we won't be overheard, and you know it" I countered. James looked like he wanted to argue my point but I think he realized that it would make him a bit of a hypocrite, as he's always saying that anything important should always be talked about away from prying eyes and active ears. We headed towards his office in silence. He opened the doo
