“Why did you say that?” I probed Sebastian as we walked down the hall to my mother's room. He shrugged and looked at me, a smug look on his face.

“Because I want you to be my boyfriend,” he said smoothly. I rolled my eyes, Sebastian was too forward. We hadn't even had a proper conversation and he was talking about being boyfriends? It wasn't like I was averse to the thought, if it was Benjamin then…

Stop it, Oliver, Benjamin is an asshole that just keeps hurting you, let him go. I needed to reassure myself that there was no future with Benjamin, Sebastian was here for me, he was here now.

“Can we just see my mother please?” I avoided the topic entirely. I didn't want to give him an affirmative answer till I was sure I was ready, neither did I want to turn him down.

He nodded and smiled, but I caught a glimmer of something in his eyes. It scurried too quickly for me to read the meaning but it looked menacing.

Maybe it was a trick of the light refracting from his eyes.

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   77. The big reveal

    OliverI heard a ripple of gasps from the crowd and it made me wonder what I did that was so horrible. I was trying to save Benjamin from ruining his life with this mistake of a marriage. My eyes felt heavy as if an anchor was attached to my eyes lids and they were left to hang over board. “Young man, who are you?” The priest asked. I swallowed as I stared at the crowd who had their eyes fixed on me. I could smell them, they exuded this rich fragrance that I had only ever perceived on Benjamin. From the side of my eyes, I caught the large men closing in from the distance.Were they trying to ambush me? Did she send them to me? I gasped, did she know that I was on to her and she wanted to kill me as well. I knew it! I staggered quickly on the stained white sheets that was thrown on the grass path leading toward the couple.I followed the large footprints till my eyes landed on Benjamin. He stood, his face frozen in some kind of horror. His eyes enlarged and his lips almost parted. It

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   76. The objection

    Oliver.“Oliver, can you just wait? Do you even know where the venue is?”Can you just shut the fuck up!? I swear, I wanted to quip back to retort with so much anger within me that he would crawl into his shell and leave me the fuck alone. All I had tried to do was help him, to save his fucking life, but he couldn’t even see it. He acted like he had a lodged so far up his ass that he was waddling into this event.It made me wonder why he brought me in the first place. Did he want to punish me? To show me all the things that couldn’t be mine because he was too much of a pussy to stand up to his mother? I exhaled the hot breath stuck in my lungs as I stormed into a building off the course of the aisle.I didn’t want to be near him, in extension, I didn’t want to be anywhere close to the wedding. Heaven knows it would take a lot to sit all through the platitudes and watch them exchange vows they didn’t mean and finally, kiss. I need a fucking drink.I stumbled into a building that was fi

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   75: Here comes the groom

    BenjaminI knew I shouldn’t have lashed out on Oliver the way I did, but needed to learn to read the room. First, it was the not so subtle hand to the thigh when the pilots were just a few feet away from us. And he kept blabbering about Veronica. I understood the fact that he was in love with me and the fact that he wasn’t happy with this union, but it was for the greater good. At least, for me and my company.This wedding had to happen today. Whatever he had to say could wait till we were done. As soon as the helicopter hit the ground and the blades started to dull to a lazy spin, Oliver pressed his body against the door, trying to unlock it.“You have to wait for them to open it from the outside,” I spoke calmly but he continued to fiddle with it like he hadn’t heard me. I sighed and waited till the pilots descended and pulled the doors open. The contraption slid perfectly allowing Oliver to bulldoze past the men and speed walk into the venue.Did he even know where he was going? I

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   74: The wedding day

    Oliver.“Oliver?” I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.“Yeah?” I grumbled, too tired to even move a muscle.“We have to leave.”I groaned and rolled over, begging my eyes to part.“Can we just stay here for another minute? I’m tired,” I whined, stretching my aching bones. He chuckled and leaned in, pulling me into a cuddle. I loved his body heat, the way he felt warm, but he also smelled… fresh, like he had just had his bath.“Another hour later and we’ll be arriving when the wedding is done,” he whispered into my ear, placing a soft kiss by the side of my head. Way to ruin the mood by bringing up the fact that he was getting married.I mumbled my discontent and pushed myself away from him, dragging the blanket off my body. As I sat, instant pain shot up my spine, forcing me to lie back down. My eyes widened as I clutched my sides, breathing heavily.“Are you okay?” Benjamin rolled over to my end and held my body. I snapped in his direction—this was his fucking fault. No, I was not oka

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   73: Shower sex

    Oliver“Come on, come on, come on!” I muttered restlessly as I watched the elevator climb slowly. The bell dinged, and the doors opened. I ran through the doors into the room.“Benjamin? Benjamin!?” I screamed into the dimly lit room. There was no sound. Fuck! He already left? I flung my gaze around the room, which served as the sitting room, and it was almost too difficult to see anything here. I should check the bedrooms upstairs. I rushed through the room as carefully and quickly as possible without bumping into any furniture.The big bedroom upstairs was equally dark, save for the light that spilled from the bathroom. Just as I caught the light, the sound of the rushing water registered. I sighed and moved toward the bathroom, pushing the door open.There was Benjamin, standing in the shower, the water cascading along his flawless body. Did he get bulkier? His chest looked bigger, and his ass? How is it that… I shook my head, trying to rid my mind of the images that had plagued it

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   72: Veronica’s plans

    Oliver“Taxi!” I screamed against the loud crash of the thunder overhead.The darkened sky hid the heavy clouds that had gathered, whether to shame me or to show their solidarity with the decision I had made. I had sacrificed too much of my time for Benjamin, but it seemed like every time, I would always come second place…or third, but I would never be first to him.A bright yellow cab screeched to a halt in front of me and I pulled the door aggressively, diving into the seat before the lightning whipped across the sky and the clouds buckled under the weight of its spike.“Where to, sir?” The driver asked. I stared at the hotel once more, my eyes leading to the top I couldn’t see anymore because of the trickles of water cascading along the window. I could imagine Benjamin standing by the window, watching me as I left. Or was I even that important for him to watch me leave?Maybe as soon as I left, he called someone else, another person to come and warm his bed. I scoffed, shaking my h
