All Chapters of Falling For My Billionaire Dad's Rival's Son.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

The necklace pricked my skin, it's rough edges unlike any I've worn.I took it off, unaware he was right behind me."Put it back on," he said calmly.I shivered. Terrified, but glad he didn't hit me. I wouldn't want to get a bruise on my day of reckoning. My special day...I stood in my walk-in closet, still in my robe. Streams of water flowing from the tips of my hair onto the white marble floor. "Don't take it off again"I headed slowly towards my bed, holding my breath. The burgundy dress I held grazed the hem of the others on the rack.I stared at my almond-shaped nails reminding myself that fear was a luxury I couldn't afford."I see you're eager to get rid of me princess... It won't happen"Today was the day I'd finally escape this prison called engagement. The plan was simple: Meet Damon Grey, seduce him, marry him, then father wouldn't lose his assets. My reward? Freedom.I gazed at the dinner dress, low-cut, thigh slit. He picked it out. It was his favourite.Damon was sure

I sat in Liliana's car, the warm blanket felt like safety. For now, I was free. No more Brian. The vanilla scent in her car calmed my heart- it felt like home. Something I hadn't felt in too long.My memory flashed to all the times she saved me. From when we were kids to now, as adults. I took a deep breath."Lily...""Yes?""Am I safe now"She smiled briefly. The kind that revealed everything she wasn't saying. We both knew it couldn't be over so easily.My phone buzzed, I was startled."Don't." she said reaching for the phone. "It couldn't be...""It's him.""I have to see what he wants." Against her order, I opened the message. It was a two-paged document. I read through it. My face ran cold. Like the all blood in it drained. My fingers were trembling so badly I had to press them into my thigh to steady them.Liliana parked the car. "It's a document right?""I, I don't understand Lily," I stared at the document and the part written boldly stared back at me. My heart raced thr

AuroraThe clock ticked—each second carving away at what little hope I had left.I drove fast. Too fast. I hadn't even picked a dress. That was the least of my concerns.I felt nauseous. I reached into the cup holder and threw a piece of mint I found into my mouth.I had spent the last 20 minutes ignoring Brian's texts.Five of them so far. He was getting persistent.It terrified me. I heard a notification, another text. I didn't want to look at the screen but I dared to."You have 5 minutes to get here. You know what will happen if you don't"His threats always struck a nerve. His arrogance and egoism never seemed to catch me off guard.Liliana's call came in. It startled me."Where are you Arie?""Meet me at Grey Weston estate, I sent the full address to you"A pause. "How about your dress?""Just pick something off the rack."Another pause, longer this time. "Arie stay safe. No matter what happens, you've got my support"I swallowed. "I love you Lily" Before she could reply I e

I stood, frozen.I had an idea who it might be but I was conflicted.Was it Brian? or was it the woman in the red dress?I typed but before I could send the text, the line was disconnected.I exclaimed and swore.My hands lay akimbo on my waist, I held the phone against it and thought deeply about what I had just seen.Before I could think of the next line of action, I heard footsteps.Damon.I didn't want him to think otherwise. So, I unlocked the door, rushed towards the bed and pretended to be asleep.In the nick of time, I turned off my phone. ....I woke up with all the muscles of my body aching badly. The aches and pains were familiar. I had probably slept in a terrible position again.Wait, had Damon seen me like that?.I hastily got up, adjusted my hair and wiped off the rheum in the corner of my eye.I searched the room but didn't see him. I sighed in relief.I was about to make my way back to sleep when I heard his voice come fr
