The CEO's Gold Digger

______________________...Willow tossed and turned in her sleep, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She sighed as she finally gave up and fumbled blindly for her phone. "What are you doing?" She almost jumped out of her skin from the scare. "Go back to sleep." She turned around and took in the silhouette of the man in bed with her, his torso definitely naked. "What are you doing here? Why are you in bed with me?" She tried to get up but he wrapped his broad arms around her waist and pulled her to him, her back flush against his bare chest. "Knox, what are you doing?" Willow's voice came out breezy. "I am in bed with my woman, what's so wrong about that?" Knox asked in his sexy sleepy voice. Willow wriggled to turn around to face him. But in doing so, she brought her face awfully close to his, his hot breath fanning her. Willow pulled her head away from him as a smirk appeared on Knox's face. "If you wanted a kiss, you should have just asked." He said, his tone cocky. Willow n

________________________...The persistent vibrating of her phone woke Willow up from her restless sleep. She cracked her neck as she sat up straight, the uncomfortable position reflecting on her back.She looked at the peaceful, sleeping frail form of her mother, Bethany Mason, and sighed.She wasn't sleeping. She had to remind herself. She was in a coma. For the past seven years.Willow looked at the bright screen of her phone.Knox WrightThe name had changed, and so had their relationship. Again, it was not like they had a real relationship to begin with.She looked at the time as his name disappeared, and a notification of the missed call popped up.2:07 amWhy was he calling now?Maybe he had time now after spending all night with his woman.Willow caught herself. She did not have the right to feel jealous or heartbroken. She told herself.She was about to turn off the screen when his face lit up on the screen again.She sighed, knowing very well that Knox was as stubborn as

_____________________...Val's was one of the clubs that Susan frequented. Willow had always wanted to go there and see how it was, but she could not go there before because it was below Knox's standards, and as his girlfriend, she had to keep to those standards.Oh well, now she didn't need to worry about anything else. She could go wherever she pleased. And no one could stop her."What do you think of this place?" Susan asked, doing a little dance in the glittering blue dress as she dragged Willow inside.Willow took in the rich music and the electricity in the air, the packed dance floors, and the crowded bars."I think it's beautiful!" Willow finally felt the tension dissipate. "I think I am actually in the mood to have some fun right now!""Better than chicken and beer, right?" Susan winked, yelling over the music as she dragged Willow onto the dance floor."Definitely better than chicken and beer." Willow agreed as the two ladies grooved to the music.The women spent some half

_____________________...In the span of three seconds, Willow was in his arms and his lips on hers.Willow stood frozen. They had fake dated for three whole years with multiple opportunities for him to take advantage of her and she would have happily let him do it too. Three whole years where the word 'fake' could have been chucked out the window and they could have flown away to their romantic wonderland. She was so in love with him and ready to be his for the past three years. But he had never made a move. He had kept it wholly professional showing any kind of affection only for the audience except for the times when she managed to fool herself into believing that he did reciprocate some of her feelings. But she was over that now. There was no space to think about that anymore. He was with someone else, officially engaged, and he seemed to be very happy with her too. And Mia Thompson looked so happy and so blissfully in love. She was not the kind of woman to ruin another woman

___________________________..."You know..." Trisha spoke up and Willow sighed. The witch had been quiet all morning and Willow had wondered if she had really reformed. Nah, not a chance. The woman was going to bring Willow down every chance she got. "It takes some talent to trap men after men like you do." Willow blew out a breath.'She's not worth it. She's not worth it.' She chanted in her head.She was not going to respond and give the witch the satisfaction. There was no way in hell she would."Excuse me?" Susan appeared and Willow mentally face-palmed. Maybe she should talk Susan into not giving Trisha the satisfaction as well. "What's your problem?""I could ask you the same question," Trisha said, clearly enjoying the outcome of her jab. She turned side to side on her chair and played with her pen. "I was not talking to you. I was talking to Willow Mason.""You were not talking to Will. You were taunting her." Susan pointed out."Does she deserve to be taunted?" Trisha aske
