Mum's The Word
Magda sat on her bed, the headboard behind her with the curtains drawn, the lights off and hit the video call icon to call her parents.
“Hi Mom, did I catch you at a bad time?”
“No,” her mother sighed dramatically. “I am finishing for the day. Why you cannot call me at a normal hour is beyond me.”
“Sorry. It’s four-thirty there, isn’t it?”
“It is and I was getting ready to head home. You know how your father likes to have his dinner ready and on the table by six.”
She kept her face neutral as she considered it wasn’t as if her mother was actually preparing, plating, or serving the meal.
“Well, I won’t keep you mom. I only wanted to check in and let you know I’m fine.”
“Well of course, you’re fine and I always will make time for your calls. You’re important to me.” Her mother gave an eye roll as if Magda should

By Saturday Magda knew without any doubt in her mind Ares Winter was the biggest contradiction in personality she had ever met in her entire life. Switching from sweet mama’s boy to dirty rotten scoundrel with a filthy mouth was as easy for him as breathing.She was coming out of the gym after waving off her personal trainer when her phone buzzed with another message from Ares Winter. She was unsure whether she wanted to open it or not. Last night she’d had the sexiest damn dream of her life and it was all because he had been explicitly blunt with her in a call the night before. She had been moving things around and commented she was looking for a place to sit down and he had offered his face. She’d hung up on him again. He’d called eight times after and she’d ignored every single one of them with increasing difficulty. His last text message before she’d shut her phone completely down for the night was to apologize for being rude.
The Billionaire and the Banker Give Me A Reason
They were seated back in the coffee shop with Jake a few feet away and Magda was starting to get annoyed with him. He’d refused to let Ares walk alone with her to the coffee shop, despite its close proximity and he’d been huffing and puffing since they sat down because it was quite busy for a Saturday morning.“Ignore him,” Ares said gently as he lifted his coffee cup to his lips. “It’s his job to keep me safe and to be an overbearing asshole to make sure I listen to him. It’s not personal.”“He checked my handbag.”“Yes.”“And told me to power off my phone because he was worried, I’d try to voice record you while we were sitting here.”“Yes.” Ares chuckled. “Do you know how many journalists pose as women who simply want to have coffee with me?”“Yes, but I’m not the one chasing you!” she protested. “You d
The Billionaire and the Banker Goodbye Magda
True to his word, Ares had called her but she’d declined each call. She’d also not answered any of his text messages and even refused to respond to the email he’d sent asking her to call him.Dimi stood in the doorway of her bedroom with a nervous smile, “well I’m off.”“Are you sure you want to do this?” Magda asked her curiously. “You could show up on Monday, tell him you want a divorce and be done with it. Why go through all this?”“Because I know my husband,” she sneered the word, “better than he knows himself. He always despised my pranks and tricks when we were kids. I’m older and my imagination is far more developed. He’s going to tow the company line because he believes in the Lykiaos legend. My dad wants us to give him a grandchild, preferably a son. I need him to hate me and want to divorce me so much he will go against my father and grant me my divorce.”
The Billionaire and the Banker Croissants and Crying
Stretching in bed in the morning, Magda felt her eyes were blurry and itchy as she rolled onto her belly. Sleep had eluded her late into the night and she had cried like a fool while Jinx the dog had licked her face. The dog had been great comfort in her misery while she’d sulked over what was never going to be. Why Ares Winter was so heavy on her mind and plaguing her heart was beyond her but she’d had an immediate and visceral reaction to him from day one of meeting him in the boardroom and she couldn’t shake it. Now she’d insulted him by calling him a whore and it was weighing on her. He was right. She had judged him for his past sexual experiences. If he had been a woman, she would have been going off about a woman’s right to have as many partners as she wanted but because he was a potential sexual partner for her, she was judging him and him calling her out had her feeling appropriately chastised. She sighed and rolled to her belly and checked her phone.
The Billionaire and the Banker Food for Thought
Ares rubbed his forehead as he waited for Magda to make the next move.He’d fucked up. He hadn’t meant to lose his temper with her but her constant attempts to push him away when he knew, deep down in his soul, they were meant to be together was frustrating as hell. He pulled a drawer open on his desk and looked in as a single knock hit his door.Jake walked into his office and flung himself down on the sofa. “I don’t like being your messenger boy.”“Consider it a punishment for being such an asshat yesterday. You searched her purse. How did she look?”“Tired and sweaty. She was leaving the gym. She was surprised but the look she shot me across the parking lot was something else.” He paused and grinned, “she flipped me off.”Ares chuckled, “she has quite a temper.”“Which makes me worried for you. She could snap and stab you.”Ares grimaced at hi
The Billionaire and the Banker Privacy Violations
Arriving home from the Laskaris compound on Monday, Magda felt emotionally raw. Dimi’s family were scary as hell and after a hellish breakfast with her parents and then Dimi having an emotional meltdown in the car from Miklos’ new pursual of her, Magda felt she was carrying the weight of her friend’s sadness.As she exited the car, she noted the personal assistant who had met her outside the gym yesterday standing on her front step. Immediately she bristled with the intrusion of her privacy. How dare they?“What the fuck are you doing at my house?”“Mr. Winter asked me to deliver this,” the woman held out a note, her fingers shaking as she extended it towards Magda as if inherently aware the woman was about to blow.“I don’t give a shit if he asked you to deliver it or not! How the hell did he get my home address and why are you trespassing!” Magda’s emotions were raw and the woman visibly recoiled from Mag’s wrath.“Uh don’t shoot the messenger, Mags,” Dimi called out from behind her
The Billionaire and the Banker Three Or Walk
Standing outside the restaurant Magda took three deep breaths and followed the girls in. When Dimi whispered the woman standing beside Ares was one of Miklos’ ex lovers, she felt a pang of annoyance. She couldn’t help but think perhaps he’d done this to fuck with Dimi. Why flaunt her husband’s mistress in her friend’s face? This was horrible and cruel and now she knew he was fighting dirty. Well, she could fight dirty too.She met his gaze directly and saw the cool response on his face. He was pissed off at her. She knew it instantly and she didn’t know why but as she regarded the woman on his arm, she didn’t care. He was purposefully trying to hurt her friend. He was going to pay.His eyes raked her from head to toe, narrowing when she leaned forward just enough to flash a bit of side boob as she rested her clutch on the table.“Eat your heart out, you snake,” she thought viciously.“Ladie
The Billionaire and the Banker Spite
She didn’t care she had makeup on. She splashed cool water on her face and reached blindly for paper towel. The door to the bathroom opened and a hand put the serviette in hers and she offered a meek thank you to the person who had entered.She looked up and saw Ares leaning against the door and she grimaced. “I’m sure the sign on the door says women.”“It does,” he nodded, his eyes pleading. “Can we talk?”“In a restaurant bathroom?” She sneered at him. “No. In fact, not here. Not anywhere.”“I’m sorry.”“You should be.” She forgot herself for a moment and shoved his chest hard, “what kind of fucking games are you playing?”He grabbed her hands and pulled her close, his blue eyes searching hers. “I’m sorry. I panicked. In panicking, I came to a stupid conclusion.”“What conclusion?”&l
