Oliver.

“How dare you?” She spat the words out with so much spite that it coddled around my throat. My face stung from the impact, and I swear I felt my teeth shake. How was she so fucking strong?

I felt some of her spittle hit my cheek, my head still angled to the corner afraid of facing her wrath head on.

“Mom,” Benjamin called and grabbed her, holding her back.

“Let go of me, let me teach this peasant a lesson,” she wriggled herself out of his grip and advanced toward me again. I shifted further, colliding with the wall.

“How dare you walk into my son’s wedding and pull that stupid stunt!? Do you know who I am!? I can have you thrown in prison and the keys will be flung into the depth of the sea for life!” She barked.

Her veins serpentined around her neck, juicy and eager as if it was ready to pop.

“I was trying to help,” I whispered softly.

“Who are you to speak while I speak?” she scoffed and eyed my entire frame, her face slack with a grimace, disgust pertinent in her awful

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   79: What’s next?

    Oliver I stood, frozen in shock as he pulled me to himself. My eyes fluttered open as his head cradled into my neck, his nose buried into my skin. What was happening? I expected him to be mad, to go as far as hitting me to show his displeasure, but a hug? That was the least thing I expected him to do. “Thank you, Oli,” he breathed into my neck once more, his warm breath frolicking across my entire skin, causing ripples of goosebumps to emerge. I finally breathed out, letting the air I had been holding in for so long to escape. I wrapped my arm around him and leaned into his touch. This was nice: basking in the warmth of his embrace. But what was he thanking me for? He peeled himself from me, putting a bit of distance between us. “Why?” I asked finally. “Why what?” He shrugged. I rolled my eyes. He shouldn’t play dumb with me. “Why are you thanking me? I thought you’d be pissed, mad at me for stopping the wedding and thwarting your plans,” I egged him onto the reasons he should b

  • The Billionaire's dirty secret   78: The Aftereffects

    Oliver.I felt like the earth should vibrate in its core and shift so I could fall into it. The squelch as I took up from the ground, covered with the debris from the cake chunks, left my entire cheeks feeling red and my ears sore. I couldn’t even look up to look into the eyes of the people who were clearly staring at me.“What do you mean you’re pregnant?” I heard Benjamin’s firm voice, and it felt a bit relieving to know that the attention had shifted from me, subtly.“I mean, do I need to explain how people get pregnant?” She chuckled.“No, but we’ve had sex once, and that was a few days ago,” he whispered the last part, but I was within a hearing shot.“The night I slept over at your place.”My eyes snapped toward him, and he swore that they didn’t do anything.“Fuck.” He ran his hand through his hair.“And why is he still standing there? He has to pay for this,” his mother shrieked, causing my entire skin to riddle with goosebumps. The guards swarmed in and I looked at Benjamin

  • 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 fin

  • 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
