All Chapters of The billionaire's exotic temptation: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Allera's POV "Not my choice to make?" I echo his words, disbelief dripping from my tone. "You just— Carter, how could you?" "Let me get dressed. We'll talk about this better, okay? Maybe even go to that new Italian restaurant that you—" I raise my hand up, silencing him. My heart is breaking and tears burn the back of my eyes. I can't even process the words he just said, my brain feeling like it's dodging everything. "I'm tired. I just...I just came back from the hospital, Carter. And this...this is what I meet?! My husband cheating on me?!" "I'm not cheating for heavens sake!" "I never agreed to your open marriage nonsense! We're married! The both of us! What you just did was cheating. Plain out!" He scoffs, his upper lip curling in a snarl. "So what, huh? Want me to drop on my knees and beg for your forgiveness? Will that make you feel better?" Before I can stop it, my hand reels back and flies out, striking him right across the face. "You bastard," I hiss, my chest and voi

Devon's POVI don't fuck married women? Bullshit. In the five minutes I've spoken to her, I've bent her over this very counter too, ripped that little black dress off, and fucked her till she couldn't walk. "You don't fuck married women?" She asks, her dark eyes staring into mine. Challenging. "No," I reply, grimacing slightly at her glass of whatever it was in my hand. "Can I buy you a better drink? This is shitty."She snatches the glass from my hand and downs its contents. "Well, what if this married woman wants to fuck you instead?"How fast can I ruin a marriage? I've never wanted to ruin one so damn fast. Never have I been shocked into silence. Never. I'm used to receiving attention from women, and men alike. But Allera isn't giving me attention, not in the way I'm used to. There isn't a hint of lust in her eyes. Anger is all I see. Unbridled anger. The kind that says she's either about to slam her glass into someone's head or punch someone. That someone likely being me.

Allera's POV "Did you have a fling with him?""Daphne, get back inside. You're naked.""Nothing my neighbours haven't seen." She grabs my arm and spins me around. "Can we talk about Niko? The last thing I'd want is to fuck my sister's ex.""Leave me alone.""Allera! For heavens sake! Talk to me. You've been acting weird all day!""Like you care." I scoff, shaking her off. "Don't wait up for me and please, go back to what you were doing."She opens her mouth then closes it. Her eyes harden and she glared at me. "Fine! Keep it all to yourself! Don't talk to anyone. Let it eat you up till you fucking drop!"Her words sting a sensitive part of me. A part I didn't think existed anymore. Tears mist my eyes and I clamp my teeth down on my lower lip till I taste copper. "Fuck you, Daphne.""Fuck you too! You cold-hearted bitch! Urgh. Why do I even bother with you!"A movement up ahead makes me look up. Niko stands outside the door, shirt undone, eyes sly as he stares at me. My hands trembl

Devon's POV The universe must be working in my favour. Dropping Allera right into my lap where I want her to be. Footsteps approach from behind me, I know that pace well enough. Alessandro Moretti. "What's the matter? You look happy this morning." He stands beside me on the balcony, looking way too proper in a suit and tie. "I'm just so happy that you're finally getting married."He shakes his head. "Please. We're not friends, save your cheap sentiments.""Come on, man. Don't be so stiff. You're marrying my mom, that makes us more than friends now. We're family. You're my stepfather."He shudders, shooting a dark look at me. "Stop saying that. You're making this weird.""Should I call you daddy now?" I turn to him, closing the distance between us. "I bet you'll like that. It's all over your face.""Devon. For fucks sake! That's highly inappropriate." I can't help but chuckle. He's so easy to ruffle. Too damn easy. Suddenly, he whistles, his gaze moving past the railings. "My heav

Carter's POV:"You're overthinking this whole charade, babe." "My mom is getting married, Niko. My brother will be there, all of my family will be there. Trust me, you don't understand anything that's about to happen in that house."Niko rolls over, the sheets slipping off his upper half, his crystalline eyes mischievous as they rake over my body. "What is this then? Are you staging an intervention? Do you want to ruin the wedding?""Fuck no. My mom's happiness matters to me. Ever since that bastard ruined her—" I cut myself off, my thoughts flitting to the man I once called father. Not that he deserves that title anymore. I'm glad he's gone. "Point is, I'm happy for my mom. I really am.""Is the problem your brother?"I turn to him, a small smile playing on my lips. "If we ever break up, I'm putting a kill order on your head. Can't have you roaming around knowing so much about me.""If we ever break up."Not that it's happening anytime soon. "My brother isn't my worry right now. It
