THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE BEGINNING OF HIS NIGHTMARE
"I need you to think fast, Edmund, because if you don't and your father finds out about this, he's not going to take it lightly."That was the voice of Mrs. Gina Hamilton, Edmund's mother. The poor old woman had brought herself from her house to Edmund's house as soon as she heard what had been the results of the test.And ever since she got here, all she'd done was try to make Edmund grasp the gravity of what he'd just done. So far, she wasn't doing a very fine job at that."This is scandalous at best," she said, frustrated. "Do you know what the media would do with this kind of information? I'll tell you. They'll sell it to whichever blog has the money to pay for it through their nose and the news would then spread like wildfire. Do you know what that would do to your father? To his business?"Edmund was all but weakened down to his spirits. He clutched his head with both hands and bowed it in deep thought."Since I'm in the mood for a little creativity, let me give you a few headli
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE FAKE MARRIAGE ARRANGEMENT
Edmund tapped his feet furiously on the floor as he waited. Initially, he'd been Tallington them in slow rhythmical patterns but he'd soon gotten tired of waiting and his frustration was transformed into anger that he let out by punishing the poor Italian shoes that he wore.Being a man of authority himself, Edmund was not used to waiting for anyone. But this was important. So important that it was probably worth the wait.He'd been waiting at his attorney's office for almost an hour and a half to have a conversation with him, a conversation that he intended to use to determine what direction his future was going to take.Out of respect for him, his secretary had let me into his office where he waited for his return. She'd made it a point of duty to check on him every half hour to make sure that he was fine and to also inform him that her boss was aware that he was around and would be with him shortly.When the door finally opened and Mr. Bob Russell stepped into his office, Edmund ex
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE INTERROGATION
Detective Camille Adams sighed heavily as she sank into the seat in her cubicle. Her partner stood by her side, both hands holding his waist. He heaved a despondent sigh.The two of them mulled on the unspoken question that hung in the air. Now that Max Walker had refused to talk despite all their attempts to glean the truth out of him, what were they going to do?"I think we're not torturing him enough," Detective Adams said suddenly. She brushed away some wisps of air that had fallen over her face before speaking again. "Maybe we need to try a new approach. A crueller one.""Are you kidding me right now?" Detective Cooper's eyes widened. "You just tried out the Chinese water torture on him. Yet, he didn't talk. What makes you think there's something worse that we can do to him to get him to talk?"The Chinese water torture mechanism or Chinese dripping water torture was a kind of torturing system where the victim was placed in a position such that his movement was restricted from al
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE PRICE FOR THE TRUTH
Detective Adams halted at once. A thrill went through her. She recognized the tone of his voice at once. It was the tone of someone who had fought so hard to stay strong but could no longer hold on.It was the voice of a man that had finally broken and was ready to tell the truth. But there were doubts. What if he was telling her one convincing lie or the other to distract her from finding out the truth?It seemed very unlikely. His tone was unmistakable. She knew she'd come dangerously close to the truth and she wasn't going to miss the one chance at grabbing hold of the truth.She twirled around, stepped forward and unstrapped the metal frame that held his face in place for the ice cold water to drop on it. She set his face properly. She needed to see his face while he told the truth."I see you're ready to talk. So by all means, go ahead." She took a seat.Max Walker chewed on the corners of his mouth for a few long seconds. He seemed to still be having trouble telling her the trut
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE ASSASSIN'S DUTY
Shaped like a rattlesnake, the man curled himself up on the wall. He pressed the barrel of his pistol against his neck and closed his eyes as if embracing a lover.He savored the feeling of power that enveloped him. He looked down at the unsuspecting humans moving to and fro the hallway, oblivious of the fact that somewhere in the building, danger was lurking and lying in wait for somebody that was being held in the building.They were right to be bothered. He'd not come for any of them. He'd come specifically for one person; one person who'd broken the code of conduct or was about to and was going to pay dearly for it with his life.It was uncomfortable, crouched in his hiding place, but the dull ache in his thighs was a small price to pay for what the man whom he'd been told to kill had done.Just a millisecond ago, he would have been caught had his sharp ears not picked up the sound of the approaching footsteps easily or his eyes not caught sight of the approaching shadows.In his
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE DATE THAT WENT WRONG
Emily sat still, taking her breathing slowly. Edmund's announcement had somehow pinned her to the seat. She did many wild guesses in her mind but could not exactly pinpoint what the problem was.She could not remember the last time she'd seen Edmund looking so broken and serious at the same time. Had someone died? What did that have to do with Charlotte being pregnant? Was there some sort of connection that she'd missed in all these?"Only my mother knows about the pregnancy right now and I'd like it to remain that way. If my father finds out about it, there are chances that he could find out that what we have together is a lie too. I don't want that to happen."Emily still could not see where she fit in his story. She didn't keep her thoughts to herself."First of all, congratulations on your baby."She wasn't at all prepared for the outburst that followed from Edmund."Do I look happy to you?" He barked. "Do I look like I want this baby right now? But what choice do I have? He's bei
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS THE GREATEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE
Randall stood there, transfixed at the spot. His heart lurched forward. What did Amy Johnson know that was powerful enough to ruin his chances of being with her? Had she heard something she shouldn't have heard?He wasn't sure. He'd been very careful. Standing there before her like a prisoner that was about to receive his sentence, he tried to hold his true emotions but they'd still shown on his face somehow.He was confused and surprised at the same time. Amy Johnson soon put him out of his misery."I feel like I've been dumb the whole time," she began. This can't be good, Randall thought to himself."I mean, I should have seen the signs. Every time we met, it was because you wanted to find out one thing or the other from me. Like that's literally all we do during our meetings. It got me thinking. Did it mean that if I had no information to trade with you, we'd never get to see?"Randall was not sure he was following where she was headed, but he listened patiently. She was yet to hi
THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MISTRESS AN ESCAPE FROM REALITY
Emily had always hated to be at Dally Villa. Other than the first time she'd been there, she'd never really enjoyed her visits there since then because of the fact that her therapy sessions with Jason and the shrink were held there.Every time she came to Dally Villa, she was one step closer to being caught and that was something she did not even want to imagine.But today, however, Dally Villa seemed like an escape route for her from all the chaos that had been going on in her life.
