Oliver.

The smell of sulphur permeated air, strong and pungent. My skin tightened with goosebumps as I lay on the floor in a foetal position. I squeezed my eyes tightly, phosphenes accentuating my vision.

I didn't want to open my eyes, I didn't want to see if there was a gaping wound on my thighs or any part of my body oozing blood. I didn't feel any pain but I heard that was what adrenaline caused, till dopamine took effect and finally, one would fall off the cliff of life.

“Get him up,” Sebastian's cold voice pried my eyes apart. I gasped as I was hoisted from the floor, a quick glance at Sebastian and his face was sunken into an unreadable expression.

I had never seen him like this before, but those eyes, they were brazenly glowing with malevolent thoughts. It was the same eyes I had seen that day in the hospital when I called him out on his behaviour. He had always been like this but he was hiding underneath a mask, for what?

His hand was shoved into his pocket, the other raised t

  • 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

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   71: What are we?

    Benjamin “You come to me after you’re done with your wife,” he scoffed and flung his face, detaching himself from my lips. I pulled away too, angling my face just a tad bit to read the expression on his face, he looked...serious. “My wife?” I asked for clarity. Was he referring to Veronica? She wasn’t my wife in the true sense, at least not for the next few hours. “Tell me you didn’t have sex with her in the office,” he spoke again. Was he jealous? The thought made me smirk and lean in closer to him again. “Are you jealous?” I taunted him. He darted in my direction, his brows furrowed like an angry bird, his lips pursed in annoyance. “Jealous!? You’re fucking cheating, why won’t I be jealous?” He snapped. Cheating? “I’m cheating? On whom?” I asked genuinely because last I checked, I was single. Oliver’s mouth hung open for a few seconds before he snapped it shut, his cheeks heating up in embarrassment. He pressed his hands to my chest and pushed me away from him. Fuck, did

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   70: Always there

    Benjamin I lied. I fucking lied because that was the one thing I knew would solve his problem. I knew he would eat himself alive with the thoughts of how he had murdered her, so I told him the one thing he wanted to hear. Felicia was dead by the time my private doctor arrived; her blood had marinated into the carpet, and her face was already turning pale from the loss of blood to her head.Immediately he left, I called the people I trusted: Martello and Anderson, they were two people I needed when things got messy. I didn’t use them often because it rarely degenerated into such a scenario, but I kept them for times like this.“I need her to disappear, is that possible?” I knew it was, but I wanted them to swear it to me that they would do it. They nodded, mute and working in silence, just like their jobs entailed. As they worked, I had to keep Veronica entertained and far away from that room.This entertainment required having sex with her. All through her ludicrously loud moans and
