Tyler's POV

It couldn't be. How was Quinn seated behind the huge desk of the office of the CEO.

Was I missing something ?

" Good morning sir" my voice came out clearly hiding any form of suspicion. Thank goodness I was wearing glasses and I dyed my hair black last night . Although I did it because I hate answering questions about what's the actual colour of my hair.

"Sit"

He ignored my greeting and ordered. A cold hearted bastard as usual.

If only he knew what he did with me. How he made me moan nonstop, driving his thick long length in and out of me. I quickly pushed the thought back. It would be rude to spot a boner at an interview . And he'll probably murder me on the spot if he ever finds out I was the one. He hated me right from school. And he probably won't remember I was the kid from before.

I sat down on one of the extremely comfortable couches in the office, my heart racing nonstop but I wasn't going to let it show. The office was cold but hot at the same time.

Quin stood up and walked around his large desk,exposing or rather showing off his expensive outfit.

"Have you done this before?"

"Excuse me?" I blurted out but immediately covered it with a quick " I'm sorry. No I haven't."

He walked closer and sat on the couch obviously meant for him.

"How long do you plan on working here?" His piercing sea blue eyes were probably drilling invisible holes through my head.

"For as long as you will have me."

Shit that sounded weird but I'll go with it either way.

"Are you in a relationship?"

Was this supposed to be part of an interview question?

 “No sir” I answered anyway.

He looked and me for a moment nodded then ordered, "You can take your leave, I'll have my secretary contact you."

  I looked at him with an obviously confused expression. But swallowed whatever was about to leave my mouth.

"Thank you sir." I said and stood up.

"Mr McKenzie." I heard Quin's voice

I turned to look at him.

"Call me Mr McKenzie."

"Oh. Yes, Mr Mackenzie." I repeated after him. And with that I was out of his office.

Outside the office, I nodded briefly at the secretary and gave a small smile as I walked straight to the elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Everything about this new job was giving me mixed feelings. I took a cab back to my apartment. Something else kept bothering me .

Did he forget all about me?

I meant the me he bullied in school. Of course he would. I was nothing but a play thing that satisfied his veil pride and ego.

I needed to call Cassie.

But another call came in instead.

"MOM"

This woman is after my happiness. I hate her for it but she's my mother.

I picked up and put the phone on speaker.

"I know you weren't planning on picking up my call. After all I've done for you."

She's the worst kind of mother anybody could ever ask for. A mother who pleases her boyfriends by letting them have their way with her son.

"What do you want from me now?" My voice sounded obviously irritated. Because I was irritated by her.

"I'm at the police station, I need you to come bail me."

I sighed, "What did you do this time?"

"That is no way to talk to your mother, you ungrateful fruit of my womb."

"Fine if you won't tell me, then call your boyfriends to come bail you."

I was about to end the call when she said it.

"I couldn't pay for my drink." She was so shameless. Why would a mother be that shameless?

"Fine , I'm on my way."

I ended the call.

I put on something comfy and headed to the station. When I got there I spotted my mom talking and laughing with some guy in the stall. She looked comfortable.

Why are they even in the same category?

I thought male and female are separated.

I quickly went to the desk where I made payment and bailed my mother.

"I'm here for Jessica Davis." I told the cop at the desk.

"Sign here." He pointed to a piece of paper, handing me a pen,"And here."

After signing I told the cop to delay her bail by an hour so I'll be home when she leaves the station.

By the time I got home I was tired , I made noodles and called the one person who wasn't asking for anything except for me to trust in them.

Cassie.

She picked up immediately.

"Hey sugar, What's up?"

"I've got happy news and sad news." I muttered.

"Hit me with the happy news first." She said,

"Ok. I got a job."

"Fuck yeah! And?"

"My boss is Quin." It sounded like a whisper.

"You're fucked man." The joy in her voice disappeared immediately.

"Yeah, I'm fucked." I muttered.

"Cheers up sugar, he doesn't know y'all tied the knot so you're safe" the cheer was back in her voice.

"Yeah." I said grimly

"My boss is calling, let's meet up tomorrow, okay?"

"Yeah."

And the line went dead silent.

Cassie and I hardly meet up. She's usually too busy and honestly, I think there's something going on between her and her boss.

I spent the rest of the evening going through the internet searching for everything I could find on Quin McKenzie. Before sleep consumed me.

Two days later I received another mail from Quin's secretary to resume work the following week.

A notification popped up, something about Quin and I couldn't resist.

I looked at the picture attached and read the headlines slowly with shaky hands. My heart beat spiked. Because I couldn't believe what I was reading.

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Who got shot ?

    Quin's POV“Aiden.”His name tasted bitter in my mouth.The smile on his face widened just a little, like hearing it pleased him. For a long moment nobody moved. Even Cooper had gone unnaturally still. The puppy stood a few feet behind me, pressed tight against Tyler’s leg, a low growl vibrating from deep in his chest.Aiden glanced down at him. “ I see you don’t like me too.”“He has good instincts.”His smile disappeared.I wasn’t trying to be brave. I wasn’t trying to provoke him. I was buying time. Because the second I saw the gun, every priority in my head rearranged itself into one single objective.Keep Tyler alive. Nothing else mattered. Just Tyler.Aiden’s attention shifted past me. Toward him. Toward the man standing behind me. My chest tightened immediately.“Hello, Tyler.”Tyler ignored and didn’t answer.Aiden sighed. “Still rude as ever.”“Get out.” My voice came out colder than I expected.His eyes returned to mine. “No.” The answer was immediate and certain. Like he’d

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Aiden

    Quin's POV Lucas was dead. I sat with that information for a long time after the call ended. Longer than I expected to. The room was quiet except for the sound of Cooper constantly shifting in Tyler's lap. Tyler hadn't said anything either. We just sat there, holding onto each other's hands. Suicide, Jake had said. I turned the word over in my head. Suicide. The end Lucas had chosen for himself in a small cell somewhere while the rest of the world continued operating without any awareness of him. It felt anticlimactic in a way that was difficult to articulate. Not disappointing exactly. Just small. After everything he had done, the ending had been quiet and private and entirely his own. I had wanted him to suffer. I could admit that. I had wanted him to face something that matched the scale of what he had done. A trial. Consequences that were public and documented and proportionate. Something that acknowledged the specific damage he had caused rather than simply removing him fro

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Lucas is Dead.

    Tyler's POVQuin kept on laughing, like I had just cracked the best joke of the century.He doubled over laughing. The kind of laugh that made his shoulders shake and his eyes water. Meanwhile, I sat beside him on the couch looking completely serious.“Stop laughing.”That only made it worse.“Oh my God,” he managed between breaths. “You’re serious.”“I am dead serious.”That earned me another round. Cooper chose that exact moment to climb into Quin’s lap and lick his chin. Tiny traitor."Cooper thinks I'm right too."Quin finally managed to compose himself. He wiped beneath one eye and looked at me. “Tyler. losing Cooper for a few minutes doesn’t mean you'll be a terrible parent.”“You don't know that.”Quin leaned back against the couch. Cooper immediately stretched across both our laps like he paid rent. The little freeloader.“Tyler, parents lose sight of their children sometimes. They're not robots.”“That’s not reassuring at all.”“It wasn’t supposed to be.” I groaned. Quin reac

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    I don't think I'm fit to be a parent

    Tyler's POV Cooper was gone. For a second, I couldn’t breathe. The leash dangled uselessly from my hand as I spun around, scanning every inch of the park I couldn't find him. No golden fur, no wagging tail and no puppy. My heart started hammering so hard it felt painful. “Cooper!” Several people glanced toward me. I ignored them. My eyes darted everywhere, Every possible direction a three-month-old golden retriever could have wandered off to. Nothing. “Oh God.” My stomach dropped. How long had I been texting Cassie? Two minutes? Three? Five? How long had I not been paying attention? Panic surged through me. My phone buzzed again. I checked it ,panicking thinking it was Quin. ~Cassie: Tyler? ~Cassie:Why did you stop replying? ~Cassie: Tyler? I shoved the phone into my pocket. Not now. Cooper was missing, Quin’s puppy was missing. Our puppy was missing. My legs moved before my brain could catch up. I hurried down the pathway. “Cooper! Baby where are you?” A woman pushing a s

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Where is Cooper?

    Tyler's POVI spent the first twenty-four hours after Quin brought the puppy home pretending I wasn’t completely obsessed with him.It was a losing battle. I couldn't hide my excitement.The golden retriever puppy—which Quin had somehow managed to smuggle into our lives without warning—had immediately taken over the entire house. And my heart. Mostly my heart.“Dont make him disappear with your eyes.”I looked up from where I sat on the living room floor. Quin stood near the kitchen entrance holding a cup of coffee, one eyebrow raised. I looked back at the puppy. The puppy was staring back at me with those big, ridiculous eyes.“That won't happen.”“Thw way You’re smiling and looking at it one would think otherwise. And you're smiling way too much.”“So?”“You only smile like that when you’re looking at me.”I immediately looked away. The puppy chose that exact moment to roll onto his back and expose his soft little stomach. My soul left my body. I couldn't help but rub it's stomach.

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Congratulations on your first Child

    Quin's POVI woke up before Tyler which felt like a win. For the past few days it was the opposite.But this morning his breathing was slow and even beside me. The pain medication was taking a toll on him. The doctor had prescribed it after his shoulder injury. It helped him sleep, which was good. The problem was that it gave him an excuse to sleep even more.I rolled onto my side and studied him. His hair was a complete mess, sticking up in every direction. His mouth was slightly open. One arm was tucked beneath the pillow. The sling was still carefully wrapped around his injured shoulder. A faint bruise remained visible near his jaw. And despite everything, he was still the most beautiful person I’d ever seen.I reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from his face. He immediately frowned in his sleep.“Five more minutes.”I smiled. “You’re asleep.”“Still five more minutes.”I laughed quietly. He wasn’t even awake. For a moment I simply just watched him. The past week replaye

    Tyler's POV I prefer dream Quin to real Quin. Real Quin hated me and was most definitely straight. He kept fucking and hitting my prostrate, earning more screams from me. At some point he pulled the pillow from under me , flipped me over and held my ass to the air. I was soo close to the edge. I

    Tyler's POV Quin and I didn't really play any drinking games. It was probably just his way of making me drink with him. I couldn't remember how we got to his room. Fuck. I drank too much.
