Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Prey : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Chapter one I sat at the bar, nursing my drink in my hands. It was rowdy, but I couldn't deny I needed the distraction. It had been two years since I left New York.“Hi. Mind if I join you?” I looked up to find the most beautiful man I had ever set my eyes on.“Sure, it's supposed to be a free world” I shrugged, trying to act non-chalant, when I was anything but that. He sat down on the stool beside me, never taking his gaze from my body. I couldn't deny that I loved his attention on me. I felt my skin burn with intense desire for this stranger. “I'm Elijah. You seem a little bit out of it” he said.“I'm fine. It's just the loud noise” I responded, averting my eyes from his hypnotizing ones.“You're at a bar. You should expect this.” “Hmm,” was my only response. “I didn't catch your name” he said. “I never told you…” I hesitated, unsure of how much I should reveal to him. “Maya”I looked at him, and just then I saw something flash in his green orbs. But it quickly went away as s

Chapter ThreeAs I stood in front of the sleek glass, I felt a sense of intimidation wash over me. Elijah was insanely rich. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me.I took a deep breath and walked over to the receptionist in front of me. “ Hi, good morning”, I greeted her, trying to hide my uneasiness.“Hi, can I help you?” she asked, her eyes still fixed on the computer in front of her. Rude.“Yeah, I'm here to see Elijah Ryker…I mean Tyler. Elijah Tyler”. And there I just spoiled any chance of looking confident in from of this receptionist who seemed to be a bitch.“Do you have an appointment?” She asked, finally looking at me. She eyed me, a look of disgust spread across her face. I also got a full look at her. She was quite beautiful.She was gorgeous. A Victoria secret model kind of gorgeous.“No, I don't. But I really need to see him” I hesitated.“You can't see him. You have to have an appointment to see Mr Elijah Ryker”. She said his name like he was a god. ‘He's a god in bed’

Chapter five I sat on the stool, my best friend, Tiffany, doing my hair. I looked beautiful, very beautiful, I couldn't deny it. Will Elijah like my new look? Would he go weak at the knees the same way I knew I would go weak when I saw him in those dark suits?Tiffany stopped, examining her work, a look of worry sat on her face.“What's wrong, Tee?” I asked her. “Are you sure about this? Maya, you're marrying a guy you barely know?” She said, her lips set into a frown.I forced a smile, looking up at her. “ I'm fine, Tee. I know it doesn't seem that way, but really, this is what is best. Elijah is what is best for me”“I don't know, Maya. I just don't feel good about this marriage. Why is he in such a rush? You've known the guy..for like three weeks? Minus the two weeks he was actually absent in your life” she said, refusing to see my point.“I know it seems crazy and unbelievable, but we're in love… I just know it, Tee. He's the one for me” I said, the lies going through my teeth s

I woke up to a wet couch beneath my butt, the smell of my arousal softly filling the air. I rubbed my tired eyes, the event of the previous day slowly seeping into my head.Fucking Elijah! He had introduced Monica as his girlfriend, reminding me what a sham our marriage was before he took her into the bedroom we were supposed to share for our honeymoon.The sounds of her moan and his did nothing to satiate the hunger that had been brewing inside me since the beginning of the day.“I see Monica was not the only one moaning my name last night” the devil spoke behind me, his hot breath spreading warmth treacherously over my neck as I stood behind the small bar.“Shut up!” I said, feeling my cheeks heat up for whatever reason. “How low will you stoop, Elijah? You brought your mistress to your honeymoon few hours after signing your marriage contract! You're a disgusting animal!”my eyes meet his, his eyes turning cold. “Watch how you speak to me,” he said, now closer to me, barely a foo

My mind still reeling from the shock, I failed to hear what Antonio was saying. The minute he walked in I recognised the scar under his chin. The scar I had planted. I almost smirked in satisfaction.“You have some nerve, don't you?” I finally looked up at him to see him already staring down at me.“Fancy seeing you, Antonio. It's clear the fire wasn't able to burn you to death” I smirked seeing the stone cold expression return back to his ugly face.“I'm glad to know you still have that smart mouth” he licked his lip, making bile rise to my throat. “But not even my obsession with you will save you from death now. You knew it was long coming”“Yeah, I know. I always knew it was you behind those black tinted windows. The scar made it easier. Not even the black mask could hide how ugly you were, Antonio” I said with as much calm I could muster. I couldn't let him see the fear behind my eyes or the way my heartbeat tried to match the one inside my belly. If only they would have caught me
