Semua Bab My Billionaire Lover from the Hideout: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Lucas She didn’t know who I was!I watched Ariel’s reaction with an interesting surprise. She didn’t flinch.There had never been a time I called those names to someone and didn’t get a reaction from them. Everyone knew Nicholas Donovan. Therefore, everyone knew Lucas Donovan, his son. Boston's billboard was littered with my picture, and my company was featured in almost all popular magazines in America. However, here I was with a woman who didn’t have the tiniest idea of who I was. Somehow, I found it fascinating. Nicholas Donovan, my father, was a reputable and highly infamous business tycoon. He owned large telecommunications companies, factories, hotels, classic restaurants, and several other businesses spread across the globe. My father’s face was on several billboards in Boston a few years back. Due to our uncanny resemblance, most people could hardly tell my father apart from me. Our faces were featured in various interviews on TV screens, in newspapers, and all over the

Ariel“A classic Manhattan, please,” I called the bartender whose back was to me. He was getting a bottle from the drink shelf.“Ariel?” The bartender called, turning. “Ariel! I knew I would recognize that voice anytime,” Gary said excitedly.Gary had been the bartender in this club for as long as I could remember. He was a friend, the kind that you gossip with. Gary had information about everyone and everything in Woodstock.“Hi, Gary.” I wasn’t in a mood for chit-chat.“Hi, Gray? Where’s that from?” He was surprised at my sober mood. “Don’t tell me you’re now a stuck-up old lady!”“That’s what happens when you stay cooped up in your room for too long. My drink, please.”Gary went about pouring the drink and pushed the glass toward me. “This one’s on the house.”“Thank you.”“I never got to apologize about what happened that night.”“I am sure you ain’t sorry.”“Ariel, you know I didn’t have a choice about calling the bouncers to take you out.”“We all have choices. But don’t worry,

Lucas“This…is a major bad idea.” I managed to say.Ariel didn’t seem to be listening to me; she raised her hands and touched my face lightly. My breath caught with the impact of her cool fingers on my bare skin.This is a totally bad idea, Lucas! Remember why you’re in Woodstock!! Flee… The voice in my head was loud and clear; I caught Ariel’s wrist, holding it firmly. She didn’t struggle, didn’t flinch.All Ariel did was lock her eyes in mine, and I seemed to drown in their depths. It was all the confirmation that I needed. All the go-ahead.Flee, Lucas. Now!!!Instead of listening to the wise counsel inside my head, I ruined it all by wrapping my hand around her waist and pulling her into me.God! She felt so good!!! The rebellious voice screamed in my head.I didn’t think twice about placing my lips on hers. The taste was the same, but the feel…oh gosh…the feel of her lips.I pushed my tongue in, and so willing, she granted me access to the ocean of her mouth. My tongue dived pas

LucasI stopped short when I saw Ariel standing outside the door with Fiona. The look on her face told me everything I needed to know. My sister had toyed with this one, too, and Ariel obviously fell for it. When Fiona showed up last night at my duplex, it was all I could’ve done not to send her away at such an hour. Then, I saw Kelvin, and I could’ve sworn I killed him with the looks I gave him. Seeing him, I didn’t have to ask how Fiona knew how to find me. Kelvin, my assistant, the one person who was supposed to be my ally, had brought my sister to my doorstep.How soon till my parents show up?! I didn’t even want to start thinking of that.Fiona was leaning on the door and immediately flung herself to me when she noticed my presence in the room. “Oh, dear Luc, your guest has been waiting for you! Who is she?”I knew what game Fiona was playing. She did the exact same thing to every girl who came looking for me. Some would leave angrily and later on called me to call me all s
