She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Bonus Chapter 16 Two and a Half
(Clarice)“Grandma! The baby’s called Will!”Lily runs into my hall and stops in front of me, out of breath and very proud of herself.“I know, sweetheart. Your Uncle Nathanial phoned me last night.”Her whole face falls.“I wanted to be the one to tell you, I was looking forward to it.”Nathanial said it very fast. Gloria was obviously standing right next to him. She said hello at the start and nothing after that, and it wasn’t hard to guess who’d made him call.I told him it was a good name, because it is.Will was a wonderful man who deserved so much better than I gave him. It’s only right that his legacy continues.“Tell me anyway,” I say. “Nobody’s said it to my face yet. It isn’t the same on the phone.”She stands up straight so she can do it properly.“The baby’s called Will.”“Thank you. That’s much better in person.”Eleanor is coming up the path behind her. She offered to drive Lily out here to save Natasha the trip, and I thought that was kind of her.Her driver is behind h

(Gloria)“He’s had a long turn.”“A long turn at what?”“At you.”Diego is standing beside the bed in the middle of the night with his arms folded. He’s come to complain about his brother.His brother is asleep on my chest and has no idea he’s in trouble.“He’s very new,” I tell Diego. “He doesn’t know how to be anywhere else yet.”“I can show him.”“You can show him in the morning.”Nathanial sits up next to me. He’s awake because I’m awake, and he’s been doing that since we brought Will home.“Diego’s right. You’ve had him for hours. Give him to me.”He’s been taking things off me for months. I let him every time. I was too frightened to argue about who carried what.Tonight I hand Will over because my arms are tired.Diego climbs up into the warm place his brother left and puts his head under my chin.“I’ve got some rules for him,” he says.“Let’s hear them,” Nathanial says.“Daddy has to read my stories first. His come after.”“That’s fair. Yours will come first.”“And mine has to
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Bonus Chapter 14 One Night
(Julian)“You said it was an emergency.”“It is.”“It’s a dog. I’ve looked at him and he’s looked at me, and neither of us are impressed.”The stray is sitting in the doorway of Elijah’s shed, watching the hot dog buns.I drove out to a soccer pitch for this. Elijah phoned and told me to bring my car, it was urgent.In retrospect, I should have known better than to accept a teenager’s ruling on what constitutes an emergency.“The health department’s inspecting the concession stand tomorrow,” Elijah says. “He takes a bun off the food shelf every day. If the inspector sees a dog eating off that shelf, they’ll close the stand.”“Then keep him away from it for a morning.”“He lives here. I can’t explain an inspection to a dog.”“Take him home with you, then. He’s not coming with me.”“I can’t. James cut a hole in the ceiling to prove there’s a leak, and now there’s plaster dust on everything. Mom says no dog until the hole’s closed.”“Your father has a house.”“Dad said no too. He says Li
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Bonus Chapter 13 Trial
(Mason)“Warmth. Out of ten.”“Chloe. Your hand’s on my cock.”“I know where my hand is. I need the number.”She’s kneeling between my legs on our bed, with a little glass bottle next to her knee and her phone balanced on my stomach. The notes app is open.The lab sent her the new sample today. It’s an oil for couples, and she says she can’t test it on herself, because she knows what she wants from it and that would be bad data.So she asked if she could try it on me, and like an idiot I said yes. I thought she meant on my back.“Seven,” I tell her.She types it in with her little finger. Her other hand doesn’t stop. It slides all the way up and her palm closes over the head, hot and slippery. My hand grabs a fistful of the sheet.“Why isn’t it an eight?”“What?”“If it’s a seven, then something’s wrong with it, and I’ve got to tell the lab what.”“Nothing’s wrong with it. Call it an eight.”“You can’t change your score because I asked you, Mason. Now I’ve got to write down both.”She
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Bonus Chapter 12 A Real Horse
(Lily)"Daddy, I need a horse.""You need one?""A real one. Not a picture of one."Daddy's cutting up chicken for dinner. He stops with the knife in the air."What do you need a horse for?""To ride to school.""We've got a car for that.""The car can’t breathe on my neck and eat carrots from my hand. A horse would be happy to see me. And I can’t pet the car."Daddy looks down at the chicken for a long time. He does that when he wants to laugh and I'm being serious."Ask Mommy, peanut."Daddy says ask Mommy when he wants to say yes and he isn't allowed to. So that's good.Mommy's at the table with her laptop. She doesn't even look up."No.""I didn't ask you yet.""I heard you ask Daddy. The answer's no, baby.""Why?"Now she looks up."Because a horse needs a field to run in and a stable to sleep in. Somebody has to feed it and brush it and clean up after it every single day.""I'll do it. I've got a job at school already, and I do it every day.""Every school day.""The horse can h
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Bonus Chapter 11 Wednesday
(Elias)"Your goalkeeper is afraid of the ball. He's supposed to stop it, not get out of its way.""Grandpa, please. They can hear you.""That's the idea, boy. I'm not shouting for the exercise."The goalkeeper in the orange vest ducks again, and the ball goes in over his head.Elijah runs a soccer league for grown men on Wednesday nights. I come to watch the orange team, because they're the worst thing I've ever seen and I can't look away.They don't even have shirts. They play in vests the boy lends them out of the shed."I walked here from the road," I tell him. "My chauffeur is parked outside somebody's house like a burglar.""You say that every week.""It's true every week. Build a parking lot. I'll pay for it. You can have it by next Wednesday.""No.""You haven't heard how much.""I don't need to." He writes a score on his clipboard and doesn't look up. "You gave me money one time, to see what I'd do with it. This is what I did. If you keep paying for stuff, it stops being mine
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 4 The Empty Hand
(Natasha)The door clicks shut as Chase steps back into the office.The air tightens, like something invisible has been pulled taut across my skin.He doesn’t bother sitting. He just stands there near the desk, looking down at me.His eyes are empty of anything that even remotely resembles warmth.
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 3 The Empty Vessel
(Natasha)Every step through the towering glass doors of Warren Global feels like a dull blade sawing straight through bone.At least that’s how it made me feel that day.The swelling in my knee stretches the fabric of my trousers so tight it almost pulses. Heat radiates from the joint in slow, sic
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 2 The Quiet Exodus
(Natasha)The temperature always seems to drop when I cross the threshold of the Warren Estate.Cold enough to pass for a museum. Or a prison.A brilliantly designed one.People say grief is loud. That it makes you scream, cry, break things.Maybe that’s true for some people. I didn’t cry. Becaus
She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 1 I Have No Idea Who That Woman Is
The plastic chair in the maternity ward is a special kind of hell. I’m fairly certain the chair was designed by someone who hates pregnant women.I remember sitting there with both hands pressed against the heavy curve of my stomach, trying to breathe through the pressure in my ribs when the baby
