“I am King Thorn, and I will marry your daughter…” his lips tugged in a smirk as his eyes landed on her. “What, marry?!” Payton widened her eyes. “Yes, Payton Vass. You will marry me,” he stated firmly while he locked eyes with her. Payton stared at the man who had undoubtedly lost his mind. As if the mess that they were in was not enough, how dare he show up at her house to tell her family that? === The only thing Payton Vass thought remained for her was to marry her fiance and then fully live in her dream. What she did not expect was that this beautiful dream of hers would get shattered on the night of her fiance's birthday party. How she ended up in this icey, yet hot billionaire’s bed was something she had no idea of. And as if that was not enough… The paparazzi got wind of it. To repair their broken reputations, these two strangers were forced to marry each other. “It was you who put us in this mess, Payton, and you will do as I've told you!” his eyes blazed in anger as he grabbed her arm. “It was you who did this to me! You better get us out of this mess!” she snapped back as she yanked her arm away. These two would never believe that what happened that night was a mistake and not on their own accord and would not stop hating each other. Yet, they could not get out of this marriage. While the person he hated the most was the woman who could fix his tarnished image, he was also the only one who could save her father and her business from falling.

His personal assistant was in the car, at the front seat beside his driver and this was because of the meeting they were having together outside the company.The man had arrived at his house early.“When is the exhibition my wife is hosting starting?” He asked.“Eleven Am, sir.”“When is the meeting we’re having starting?”“Nine, sir.”“How many hours drive is it from the meeting point to the gallery?”“About an hour with no traffic, sir.”“And…” he continued and turned to look at his boss well.“You scheduled a meeting with the detective by eleven sir.”“Which detec… oh?”“Yes, sir. You had asked to move it to today by eleven two days ago.”“Woah… you’re so diligent with your work,” King let out a sarcastic sigh and rolled his eyes.“I am really glad to hear this from you! I have been working so hard for…”“Enough, can you try to fit in my meeting with the detecti
Payton pressed her lips together and exhaled. Of course, he would not agree to help her that easily.What an arrogant bastard.She pressed her lips together, blinked her eyes, and played with the tip of her fingers. “You saw the painting, right? And you asked about the theme.”“So?” King tilted his head.“Its theme is family. The painting illustrates ‘Family’ and I will be talking about it there too. It will seem weird if you are not in attendance… don’t you think?” She raised her brows, hoping he would see meaning in her words.“I don’t think so. I mean, I asked you about the theme two weeks ago which you also just mentioned now, but… what did you tell me? I think you said something like I should mind my business, yeah? So, now, how is your exhibition anywhere near my business?”Payton gnashed her teeth together before she hurriedly gave him a short smile and shook her head.“I didn’t mean it that way, you know? You have probably taken it the wrong way and…”“How would I know how you
“Woah, she hung up on me!” King hissed and dropped his phone on the table.“Payton?” Dariel asked.King twitched his lips upward and then nodded his head.If there was anything he had come to enjoy recently, it was getting on Payton’s nerves.Of course, he knew that it was her talking.He had her contact saved… and even without that, he does not think he would ever not recognize that grumpy voice.But… Why did she want to see him?It was the first time she would be calling him since they got married and he could only wonder why she wanted to see him.He picked up the glass of wine, gulped it down his throat, and then stood up, hitting the table with his fist.“I gotta go.”“Go where?” Dariel raised his brows.“Home,” he shrugged his shoulders off.“Home?”“Yeah. I’m going home.”“Why? You said you’re staying over at my place.”“Payton wants me to come home,” he had said before realizing that he should not have.Dariel might tease him about it.“You are going home because she suddenly
Payton bit her lower lips gently as she raised her head to look at the wall clock for the umpteenth time. The previous day, while she had waited for King to arrive from work, she had slept off.Well… waking up to hear that he did not even come home made her more angry.She had arrived from work quite late as she was busy with the exhibition that was taking place the next day and after she had dinner, she sat in her room, waiting to hear the sound of King’s car driving in.“Is he not coming home again?!” She hollered in frustration and stood from where she sat.It was almost ten pm, should a responsible husband not be in the house already?Responsible husband, my ass.She hissed again.“Why are you waiting for him?” Tiana finally asked her boss.She had chosen to ignore since the previous day but now she could not help but wonder what she had to discuss with him that was making her cranky.“I have something important to tell him, of course,” she exhaled and rested her hands on her wai
Payton stood from her chair, moved over to the coffee making machine in the corner of her office and when she noticed that Ava had stood up too, she sighed.“You are making coffee? I want too. I want a lot of sugar.”Payton gave no response and only concentrated on making her coffee. When she was done, she grabbed the handle of the cup, turned around, and then stopped in front of Ava.“Where is mine?”“I will not ask you again, Ava. Why have you come here? Drop your act and get to the point,” she hissed.Ava stared at Payton for a while before she burst into laughter and clapped her hands together.“Don’t tell me you look this miserable because of the video I sent?” She laughed.“Excuse you?”“You wanted me to drop the act,” Ava shrugged her shoulders off and Payton raised her brows.“Are you surprised… or angry that I am together with your ex-boyfriend?”“Ava…” Payton started and pressed her lips together.“What are you thinking… with Max?” She finally asked.“Why do you care? It’s n
By the time Payton got to the living room, King was done with his breakfast and was ready to leave the house when Payton brushed past him.He pulled his brows together and then turned to look at her as she walked away, without turning to apologize for brushing him aside rather rudely and harshly.He walked over to her, grabbed her wrist, and then turned her around to look at him.“Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed again?” He frowned.“Mind your business,” she hissed and tried to wriggle her hand from his grasp.“Oh? You bumped into me. You would not apologize for that?” He asked with a raised brow.“I did?”“What are you thinking about? Are you good?” He asked, feigning the least of care.“What is it to you?” She asked and tried to move her hand away again.“You are so cranky… as usual,” he shook his head.“You’re not going to have breakfast ?” He asked her and she gave out a long, tired smile.“Fuck breakfast, King, can you just let me go?”He stared at her carefully and h
Payton let out a sigh as she woke up the next morning feeling moody.Why was that?Her monthly visitor had just arrived!One thing she hated so much was being on her period when she had an important event coming up. Her exhibition was in two days and she had really wished it would come a day after.She groaned, got out of the bed, and then walked to the bathroom.But then again, it was right she saw it, right?She had been on edge ever since the sex with King and even though she had taken the necessary precautions to prevent pregnancies, she still felt scared.Now, it was safe to say that she was not pregnant, right?As she was about to enter the bathroom, her phone beeped from the stand, and she only took a glance at it before she entered the bathroom.As she began her business in the bathroom by first washing her teeth, she exhaled in relief as she remembered that she had packed her tampons with her luggage when she was moving to King’s house.It might have been a hassle if she did
"If this happens, then there will be no going back," Max said softly as he let his fingers caress her lips.Ave moaned against them. She felt as though her body was on fire, and she didn’t even know what to do to quench her needs. It was the craziest thing that she had ever experienced in her life, and she just couldn’t get enough of Max as she drew a bit closer to him, hating the space between them.Her blue eyes flickered open as she looked at him seductively. "I don’t crave to go back to a mundane world, Max. I want you too, so please stop talking too much and do what you can," she scolded.Before she could breathe, he had retracted his hands from her lips and was kissing her deeply. She was not able to control herself anymore, thanks to the way everything seemed to make her feel so high. Ava let her hands hold onto Max’s short hair as she moaned like never before.He pulled her into his lap, kissing her wildly on the mouth and making her feel so many things at once. She softly pul
“I… I am so honored to be in your house…” Ava groaned softly as she settled on the couch and then looked around the above-average, beautiful living room.She pressed her lips together, feigning gentleness as much as she could.“I am glad you honored my invitation,” Max smiled as she walked over to her with a glass of water.Ava collected it from him, wrapped her hands around it, and blinked her eyes at him before she drank a little from the water.“Thank you,” she said, leaned closer to the table, and dropped it there.“I hope you did not mind that I asked you to come here. I know we should have visited the restaurant or something,” he said as she looked down at her.“No no no!” Ava exclaimed and hurriedly grabbed the tip of his shirt.“I am glad I am here,” she said and pressed her lips together.Max nodded his head and smiled. “What would you like to have?”“Anything you offer me,” she said and he nodded his head.“I’ll be back.”After Ava watched Max out of sight, she leaned in the
