Shane’s POV

She gazed at me, her eyes shining, the present crushed close to her bosom, holding it like a precious doll.

She has no idea what her smile did to me. I wasn't supposed to feel this way for her, but I did.

The guards and maids left the room, giving us our moment. I hope she loved the present.

I put my hand out and drew her into a hug before I even had time to reconsider it. Her little gasp into my chest had my stomach flipping with butterflies. My hand rested on the back of her head, holding her close, not wanting to release her yet.

“You should go change,” I said, inhaling the subtle fragrance of her shampoo. “I’m taking you out on a date.”

She drew away, eyes wide. “Out? Like…out, out?”

A small laugh got out of me before I could help it. “Yes, out, out,” I teased, flicking a hair back from her face. “It’s your birthday. Let me spoil you today.”

That felt good saying it.

Her lips parted without saying anything and she smiled. Her head bobbing in agreement as she latched

  • The Billionaires Game    Chapter 43

    Lucy’s POV“Jesus,” I gasped watching Dwayne's head snap back.“Ow,” he groaned, covering his nose. When he dropped his hands, I saw the blood flowing from his nose and dripping to his lip. Xandra's glass fell from her hand, shattering on the floor as she yelped and stepped back in fright. The restaurant became quiet so fast I could hear the devil coming. Dwayne threw a punch but missed, and Shane retaliated with another hit on his face sending him spinning. Some other men had stepped in to pull him away from Dwayne. “Stop it!” I screamed, and ran towards him, grabbing his arm before he could swing again.I had never seen him this angry before and it scared the shit out of me. His eyes showed every bit of rage and I looked around, noticing some people pull out their phones, recording and talking. Oh no. This was going to make it to the news. Shane tried to hit him again as Dwayne laughed, revealing his bloodied teeth and I stepped in front of him. He stopped, as he saw me. “Pl

  • The Billionaires Game    Chapter 42

    Lucy’s POVI told myself not to ruin it. Not to let Dwayne’s stupid smirk ruin what Shane did for me. But it was damn hard to focus when my heart pounded so hard I could barely taste my food. I kept poking my fork with my fork wishing I could stab the living daylight out of those jerks. What was he doing with her? “Do you want to leave?” Shane asked, pulling me from my thoughts. It took a while before I understood his question. There was no freaking way I would leave here for them. He had taken his time to plan this and I wasn't about to be ungrateful. “No.”“I'm not so sure about that,” he said, glancing over to the other side of the room. “Leave them. I'm just not that hungry,” I said, touching his hand. His eyes looked down to my hand and moved to my face. “You were hungry a couple of minutes before they showed up.”I started eating, not wanting her day to end bad. “See, I got it back.”He sighed. There was something about the way he made those sounds. It turned me on. “Don

  • The Billionaires Game    Chapter 40

    Shane's POV She smiled as she noticed me. I stepped into the cleared path, holding the pink box. I had left that morning to get the gift. It wasn't because I was in love with her because I totally wasn't. It couldn't be that. But my phone's calendar had reminded me of her birthday. I had been drinking my coffee and scrolling through my phone, bored as hell and ignoring half of the company's email which gave me a headache. The notification popped up, catching my attention. I had saved it the day I made her sign the contract. It was a habit I couldn't stop. Whenever I was interested in someone or anything. I would save their most important dates. It mostly worked as a revenge tool but only on a rare case when I wanted to serve an eye for an eye. Weddings and important business launching dates weren't left out either. It took an hour of me arguing with my subconsciousness if getting her something would be nice. I had done this before and it was always left to my secretary. Was it

  • The Billionaires Game    Chapter 39

    Lucy's POVI waited for hours. He said he would be home early. Yet he wasn't back. The penthouse felt very lonely with only the guards standing at the doors doing their job.“Where is he?” I murmured, dialing his number for the hundredth time. It went straight to voicemail and I gave up. He was probably stuck at work, but it still hurt. It felt like I was missing something important. I had taken my time to prepare dinner and kept glancing at my phone for the time. It was past 11 and I started to feel dizzy. Soon, I wrapped myself in a blanket waiting on the couch when everything slowly turned dark. Something carried me. It was gentle, and my body felt pressed against something soft. “Uhm, so warm,” I groaned, holding onto whatever I felt was enough. I heard a low chuckle and didn't think about it. It was definitely my dream. When I touched the warm sheets, my eyes opened meeting Shane's eyes. “Where have you been?” I asked in a sleepy voice. “I was at work. I'm sorry I missed

    Shane's POVIt was already sick and tiring having the noise in the room. A couple of minutes had gone by and it was all because of one person. My hand rubbed my forehead, with the brewing madness until I couldn't take it anymore. I clapped and everyone kept quiet. Then I started, making sure to look at Dwayne so he knew I wasn't joking.“This should never be a problem. If the will gives us the right to both have a spot at the CEO spot then we have to check the merits.”I scanned the file with my eyes and smiled. “It says here that the CEO position is much preferable to the one married.”My eyes went up, meeting Dwayne's. “Only one of us is married.”Then I returned to looking at the file. “And the other criterias here include your involvement and achievements in the business.”“Do you have any of those qualities?” I asked calmly. “What does it matter?” He asked. “Doesn't it? You brought the file and I am reading the content to you. Don't tell me you didn't go through it? You aren
