Oliver.

I could feel my pulse pumping at the edge of my throat, my breath waning with the thought of what he had just said. It was sporadic and very spontaneous, I’m sure he was kidding, right?

“You don’t mean that right?” I enquired. Not for William’s safety or anything, but for my mental sanity. Death wasn’t something I loved and seeing Benjamin so worked up? I was afraid that he would follow through with what he said.

He smiled, but that did nothing to assuage the feeling I had in my gut.

“I was threatened to call off the wedding in 24 hours, Oliver, I am damn sure I won’t let him win.”

I gulped, “but you’re not sure he is the one, you have no proof of anything, you can’t just rush to do this, Benjamin.”

He scrunched his brows in confusion and cocked his head to the side, “whose side are you on?” I was taken aback. Didn’t he sense what was wrong with what he was thinking? He wanted to take someone else’s life based on some assumption he never verified.

“This isn’t about sides, Benj

    “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 I say something wron

  • 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

    Oliver.“Where’s Benjamin?” Veronica poked her head through the door as I tried to leave the building.I froze and turned toward her, scanning her lopsided dress, which looked like it had been haphazardly put on. Her hair was strewn over the place, and her bottom lip looked swollen. I scanned her after sex look, and my heart sank further; she and Benjamin had sex.“Oliver?” She snapped her fingers in my face.“I don’t know, I left him with you,” I said softly, mumbling the words that came to mind.“That’s strange, he left to check on some noise...” Her eyes scanned the hall and landed on me again. She squinted, her brows scrunching above her head, “You seem like you’re in a hurry?”“I’m not feeling too well, my stomach hurts.” It wasn’t a complete lie; my stomach did hurt, the image of Felicia’s body made my belly churn with disgust, and I wanted to do nothing more than retch. I wanted to have my bath and claw my skin raw, hopefully washing my brain of the images as well.“Oh, sorry a

    Benjamin It felt as if the air in the room was sucked away as soon as Oliver left, his very presence was the only thing I wanted to wrap around me. He was what I needed during this period. I can’t believe I was stupid for a second to even consider that he was the one behind the video and the threats. It was awfully convenient that William arrived out of nowhere and the video surfaced as well. I knew he had to be behind this. “You seem stressed,” Veronica said in a sultry voice that sounded unlike her. It snapped my attention in her direction causing me to squint my eyes at her. She walked slowly, her steps deliberately placed in front of the other in a catwalk. I had to admit, she was good, but this was the last thing on my mind. “Do you want me to ease some of that stress?” she hooked a finger on the strap of her dress and slid it down her skin. The confusion that muddled my brain left it mush, wasn’t she scared some hours ago? What was happening? I coughed, “this is an office

    OliverStunned? Surprised? What other word was in existence to describe the way I left? My head was corked to the side, staring into nothingness even though what filled my vision was a part of his wall. Even the gentle hum of the conditioning had reduced as if to ensure I got myself back together.The most pronounced sound was the aggressive breathing of Benjamin. I cradled the spot that was sure to be sore, turning toward him.You are a man, Oliver, you will not cry because another man hit you, remember that.I sucked up the tears that were threatening to form and then cast my scornful glare at Benjamin.“Look, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you.” he ran his fingers through his hair, combing the excess strands. He couldn’t just apologize, and the hurt would immediately diminish, but this wasn’t even about the physical pain anymore.This ran deeper than a tissue. He had called me here with the preconceived notion that I had done this, that I somehow had a hand in this blackmail. Did
