All Chapters of Love, Lies and Billionaires: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

‘Wake up!’ Maren's eyes fluttered open at the whisper and it took her some time before her eyes unblurred and she realised where she was. Knock, knock “Ma’am, breakfast is ready," she heard the voice of a maid behind the fastened door. She tried moving her hands, which were wrapped weirdly around the white pillow, but they felt so heavy. It was like she'd lifted dumbbells three times her normal capacity. She resolved to raise her head at least to ascertain where she was, but as she made the slightest move, a sharp pain shot through her skull, making her wince in pain. She shut her eyes to let the pain pass away and when it did; she thought of how exactly she was going to move. What the hell happened last night? Slowly, she tried to move her body, since her hands and head had refused to cooperate. She moved her legs and the familiar, pleasing pain in between her thighs tore through her. At least she could remember what happened to that part. She smiled weakly and applied mo

Maren bit her lip and smiled at her own stupidity and sluttiness as she stepped out of the car and headed for the front door that evening after work. She'd had the time of her life with Kendrick, and even when she'd thrown up, he didn't make her feel disgusted with herself. That was the last thing she could remember of that night. She didn't know how she'd gotten in or out of the car which had dropped her at the house or if she and Kendrick had fucked or not. She hoped not. And at the same time, the thought tinged her senses and made her cheeks flush a little. The door was open when she got to it and she just turned it and went in without complaining or querying anyone as she had been through a stressful day and wasn't about to add to it by scolding anyone. “Welcome ma’am” a maid greeted with a little unease on her face which Maren just ignored and began climbing up the stairs. She turned towards her room but on second thought, she turned the other way and began walking towards N

Maren was now certain something was up with Alexander, and kissing her was just a way to distract her from it—it worked, though. But only for that moment. What she knew was he was trying to get with her by any means, but what she didn't know was why? Did he actually want her, or would he get something if she got back to him? And what did he mean by you don't understand? Why was he so paranoid about Kendrick—’Okay, stop it, stop it’, she reminded herself. ‘You’re not going to let him put bad thoughts about Kendrick into your head’ If she was being honest with herself, she really did love Alexander till he fucked it all up. But that kiss—that kiss was heavenly, and it reminded her of the wonderful memories they'd shared. Now, she was deeply interested in Kendrick, even if she didn't know how he felt about her. But he seemed so nice and made her comfortable that— “Ma’am?" Maren snapped out of her thoughts on hearing the sound of her chauffeur's voice. She turned to look at

“You've been staring at that thing for the past forty-five minutes, and I've been asking about it for the past thirty." Nella complained as she seared her tea absentmindedly. "If you aren't going to tell me what it is, at least you should explain where you left to that day at the pool. You've been avoiding that conversation all these days” Maren ignored her still and just stared at the locket with a silver chain in her hands. She gazed at it, with everything Nella said, falling in her ear but not getting to the drums. “Maren? Are you still here?” Nella looked up from her phone as her friend neither moved nor spoke. “Maren?" She poked her with a finger. "I'm still here, Nella” "Then say something," she snapped, and Maren finally turned to her for the first time since she walked into the tearoom to meet her. Maren placed the locket on the table in front of her and finally took up the teacup, which now harboured lukewarm tea. “Care to share what that is?” Nella asked as she

“Dude, you really need to quit making uninvited appearances in my office,” Kendrick warned as she placed his gun back into his drawer. "My office is an invitation only zone and you really should respect that” Alexander smirked. “Or what? You'll send your men to me? You'll kill me? Ooh, I'm so scared. Well, lock your door next time” "Пизда (cunt)” Kendrick spat and got back to what he was doing, scribbling something on a blank sheet of paper. "What the hell are you doing in my building?” Alexander just headed straight for the chair on the other side of Kendrick's table and made himself comfortable. “I see you finally got to Maren, didn't you?" “What now? You're the manager of the FBI or you just spy on people for fun?” Alexander just smiled and kept his eyes on his brother. “You really need to do something better. I see owning a company has gotten a lot easier." “Well, unlike you, I've got people who handle most of my work." “You know that only makes you look incompete
