These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 29: The Cheater
Leonel 4 YEARS AGO. ~~~ Nothing good can ever come from Oliver Carter holding a brown envelope.Even though he just finished law school, his big brain precedes him, meaning he’s been good at fishing out the truth long before he got his diploma.And whatever is sitting in that envelope is the truth.“What are you doing in my room, man?” I ask, chuckling to avoid the sense of impending doom that has settled in my gut as I watch him sit in his pristine suit, looking at me like he’s about to tell me my wife died.“Leonel, boss, maybe you should sit down for this?” he urges gently. There’s no familiar playfulness in his tone or characteristic Carter humour in his face, and that only worries me more. I loosen my tie a bit to get some air, then mentally berate myself for doing so—my darling Madison hates when I look unkempt.“Look, man, maybe we should do this after the Sinclair Soirée?” I tell him, and as if on cue, cheers from the living room where it’s happening shake the door.It’

Leonel~~~It’s 7 p.m. when I finally hear the main doors say, “WELCOME AVA,” telling me that Mi Valienta is home.I drop the paperwork I’d been filling out, knowing now that Ava is around, I’ll no longer be able to focus as clearly as I did when she was away and ignoring my concerns for her safety.Well, it’s a good thing she left for a little while. Right after she got to the park, something happened with the power, shutting everything down. I ordered my maid, Helen, to get in contact with my maintenance guy. He came in and fixed the problem, but that was three hours of work time lost.As if I needed something else to agitate me, my mother sent a reminder that she and my father will be here in two days. I’m not so mad about seeing my mother, but my father? Just the thought of being alone with him for any extended period of time makes me want to break something.Still, the visit is necessary. It’ll soon be time for our Sinclair Soirée, and this year my parents have the mad idea that
These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 27: The Picnic
Ava ~~~ “Do they have to follow us?” Evie bemoaned for the sixth time, pointing to the five guards Sinclair gave us to ensure my safety as we wandered the park. We finally settled under a cherry blossom tree, spreading our picnic on a red and white tablecloth. “It’s Sinclair,” I sigh. “He barely even let me leave the mansion. He finally said I could go when I promised I’d let his guards come with me.” “It’s just a walk in the park,” she replies, her eyebrow quirked up in question. My heart squeezes. If I were a better friend, I’d be able to explain the actual reason for Sinclair’s concern is The Incident, that these men aren’t just here because of my newly acquired “billionaire’s fiancée” status, but because they are quite literally protecting my life from the threat of my ex-lover. It’s been four days since I told Sinclair about The Incident, and even though I suppose I should feel more trapped knowing the threat of my ex is closer than ever before, having Sinclair shoulder th

Leonel ~~~ “You monster,” Riggs spat at me, drops of blood flying from his lips as he yelled. The sound of his pain was music to my ears. My men looked at me, silently asking if they should drive their fists into his stomach one more time for the disrespect, but I held up a hand to stop them, swirling my ice-cold whisky in my other hand where I sat. Why should an insult get to me? People call me all sorts of things, most of them negative. I know all the popular names, of course. Before my divorce, there was simply “rich,” “attractive,” or “charming.” That was back when I gave two fucks about people liking me — my family, my wife, the world. I filled their quota for a sexy billionaire easily, and I cringe to say I enjoyed it. Then the divorce happened, and not only did it change my life, but it changed the names that people called me. I was now a drunk, a cheater, an asshole. People still wanted to be around me, but no longer because they found me interesting, but because they wan
These Reckless Vows: The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 25: The Confession
Ava~~~Look how two days can change everything.Exactly 48 hours ago, I was ambling from art room to bedroom to dining table, trying hard to avoid this billionaire that had slowly wormed his way into my thoughts. Now I’m folded against him, cried out and tired, and I have no intention of being let go.It feels nice to be held. But not just that, it feels nice to be held by Leonel specifically. His strong arms remained firm but gentle around me as I cried into his bare chest. Now it must be an hour later, and here we are in this dim art room, my cheek pressed against his warm body.He’s strumming a thumb up and down my shoulder in a soothing manner, and I nearly fall asleep from it.“I’m sorry I hit you,” I murmur into his chest, breaking our near hour of silence. Flashbacks of how I’d pushed and slapped him in the moment of my breakdown flood my mind, and I’m too ashamed to look at him.“Don’t apologize,” he replies. “You needed the outlet.”I feel tears fill my eyes again and I blin

Ava ~~~ The force of the kiss knocks the wind out of me, but that doesn’t stop me from pulling him closer, biting his bottom lip. Our mouths move against one another wildly, needing each other like we haven’t touched in years. Suddenly, I feel Sinclair’s large hands on my ass, lifting me with ease as I wrap my legs around him. His cock grinds against me, and we both let out a moan into the desperate kiss. I need him, I realize as he backs me into the wall with a thud. I’ve needed him for nearly a week, and I didn’t even realize how desperate I was. My hands explore under his shirt, feeling his rock-hard chest against my palms. Without much thought, I yank off his shirt, tossing it into the mess the paint has made on the floor. I pull away from our sloppy kiss to take him in, and the sight of his toned chest sends shockwaves to my swollen clit. I grind helplessly against him to ease my desire. “Ava,” he groans out. I love that it’s my name he calls, not Mi Valienta or Allard, bu

Ava ~~~ MY JADE. I’M COMING FOR YOU. For the next three days, I read the message like it’s my Bible, trying to find new meanings in it that I know don’t exist. This is clearly from the man I dread it could be from, and no amount of reading it will change that. I close my tired eyes, pinching the bridge of my nose as another stress headache comes on. I used to get them a lot right after The Incident, but time and skill taught me to push them back, to fill up the time I could use to think about my trauma with other things instead. But now I look out the window and see Sinclair’s new army of guards rounding the beautiful property, and all I can think about is my ex-lover: his heartless brown eyes, the sound of my middle name on his lips, what he’ll do to me when he gets me… I forcefully shut my windows and slam the tiny piece of paper in the drawer, suddenly needing to escape this room I’ve made my prison for the last three days. I open the door, immediately running into the other

The world rings in my ears.To my left, I feel Sinclair yank the paper out of my hands, hear him yell to double security around the perimeter, and I try to look at him, but when I do, he is blurry and dark. He calls my name over and over, but I feel like I’m listening to him through a fog, and it is the last thing I hear before I black out, feeling his strong arms wrap around me before I hit the ground.—Jade.How many people called me Jade?Two.There was my father, and I can see him now. He has my green eyes and curved smile, but his own dark brown hair, always coiffed as if he is going for some business meeting.I know this day. It is our last day together.I am still beside Mum, smiling at me as I fiddle with the new butterfly necklace she gave me, when Dad comes up to me and bends to my level.“No matter what happens, Ava, you deserve the whole world.” He says.He had called me Ava, and that should have told me that something was wrong. But Dad was smiling at me, and when he smi

Ava~~~I wake up groggy the next day, lips still tingling from Sinclair and I’s kiss.I groan. There is no way he’s my waking thought, my waking need, but right now I hate how much it feels like I want him. I also hate how much it felt like I wanted him last night. After I got to my room, I couldn’t sleep. The ache between my legs was begging for release, and I knew it was either he barged into my room and fucked the sense out of me or I turned to a little… self-help.My fingers inched towards my throbbing pussy as if they had a mind of their own, already drenched the moment I found my g-spot, and hesitantly I started stroking myself.This was the first time I’d ever done something like this. Yes, I’d been turned on in the past, especially when I had my wretched lover, but never like this. Never so desperately. So unendingly.I gasped as tiny shocks of pleasure raked my body, causing my mouth to form a little O shape as I tilted my head back into my cloud-like pillow.I thought of h
