Anthony Beal Novels & Stories

"I'll be taking her home." Surprise grips my stomach, but it really shouldn't. Anthony "Ace" Bailey has been around since the first day I hit town. From the moment he walked into The Café, he's had my attention, and I know I've had his. Every day he's always had a gorgeous smile for me, a kind word, and a little bit of hope that life will change. Never did I expect the life-changing moment would be me getting the holy hell beat out of me and him arresting my husband.

“Anthony, don’t you forget about our promise. If you break the promise today, the countdown restarts.” Restart? Back to the start again? Anthony’s eyes turned murky at the thought. “Ms. Jordan, I’m here as the President of Bailey Corporation, merely to sign the contract.” “Oh? Merely came for the contract, you say? This is the so-called ‘merely’?” Charmine eyes sized him up. Anthony was about to let go, but thinking of her words, his large hands halted. “If Ms. Jordan is about to restart the countdown, won’t it be a loss for me if I don’t do something today?”

"Well, for one, you are marrying the most eligible bachelor in the whole of New York, and your son is going to be the heir of Harrington Holdings. And frankly, I am also jealous of your fair skin. It is so smooth and pale." "Anthonia." Becca's voice could be heard coming towards the room: "Don't talk her ears off, please." Becca said in a somewhat annoyed voice. Although Anthonia was very good at her job, she was known to be a huge gossip. Anthonia gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. "I would never do that, Becca, and right about now, I am done." "Good, because she hasn't done her hair yet and it is already getting late. She has yet to do her hair."

"Yeah. Where will we go?" "No, not you me and Beau. You're going out to mingle." "With who?" "You remember Anthony?" "You mean Tony from your office?" "Who is this Tony?" Beau asked curious. "He is the guy in love with Ella. She kept rejecting him saying she had a boyfriend. Dude has never given up though." "So you set me up with him?" "I invited him to hang out with us so you can chill and arrange a date." "That's your plan to win the bet? It does not make sense."

Beside him stood Standfast, a bit shorter but no less imposing, with a sneer playing on his lips. Standfast, around nineteen, had a more rugged demeanor compared to Phillip. His face, while not conventionally handsome, bore the marks of someone who had seen their fair share of trouble. He had a solid build, indicating a readiness for action rather than words. His eyes held a steely intensity, hinting at a volatile temperament kept in check only by Phillip's presence.

I tossed the free throws and looked up feeling the presence of another in the huge gym. "Want me to pass the ball back for you?" Anthony asked his soft light brown hair slightly messed from his own training it was damp meaning he had been swimming. He was tall with broad shoulders and had an amazing smile. He belonged in a boy band all the girls in the academy swooned over Anthony. Anthony was the son of the Alpha of the largest pack in Britain. His British accent added to the sex appeal greatly. Titled as Sir Anthony he was as good as British royalty and he was a good student. He tossed the basketball back and waited as I took another shot before he gathered it and returned it.

My heart is joyful and grateful seeing him having fun. We went like the old days; he can grab my hand easy or hug me like before. I’m happy and is trying not to think too much of it. I’m scared about falling deeper but I’m letting everything since Carina isn’t here anymore. “Things are becoming weird,” Hailey told me one night. Angelo isn’t there anymore since he already went back to the mansion. “Why do you think so?” I asked. “You and him are not supposed to be close,” she said. And sat on the side of my bed.
