It Ain't Easy Being Cheesy Novels & Stories

For the first time since everything had fallen apart, I allowed myself to believe her. “I feel so pathetic. I couldn’t keep my dog on a leash, and he strayed with another woman and turned me to a glorified nanny.” “Your dog needs to be put down,” Naomi muttered as we sat quietly. I laughed through my tears. “Your husband is an asshole,” she said again. “Screw him,” I hissed. “We really do need to put the lying cheat down. I have a guy, he knows how to make a body disappear. Or better still, I can call one of my cousins in Germany,” she half joked.

In an instant, the livestream and the room were flooded with voices cursing me. The barrage of comments on the screen blurred in front of my eyes. Even without reading carefully, I could tell they were filled with harsh insults. The more they cursed me, the more pleased Zoey seemed to become, her smile growing wider with every word. "Who gets infected with so many STDs? I don't think I need to explain that. You're trying to shift the blame onto me just to distract everyone, aren't you?" Zoey perfectly played the role of the victim, her expression one of such distress that both the people in the restaurant and the livestream viewers couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

“And what are you then? Her savior? Oh please, don’t make me laugh. Everyone knows your secret. You are not better than me. You don’t keep women. You use them and toss them aside like trash.” Gasps erupted from the pack wolves in the distance. No one spoke to the Chairman that way. But Damian didn’t falter. Instead, he stepped closer, closing the space between him and Ethan until dominance poured off him in waves. My knees threatened to give way under the sheer force of it. “You’re right,” Damian said calmly. “I never keep women.” His eyes cut to me, dark and burning. “Until I met her.” The world stopped. My chest constricted so tightly I could barely breathe.

Half of my face swelled up in an instant while blood seeped out of the corner of my mouth. Then, his hand that had struck me clenched tightly into a fist. He seemed immeasurably disappointed. “I’ve given you all the wealth, luxury, and status as the Donna for the last five years. What more could you want? Why must you challenge me over something so trivial?” “Trivial?” I wiped the blood from my mouth and retorted with a dead look in my eyes, “Yes, as far as you are concerned, all the love I have for you, along with my pride and feelings, are trivial. You only care about your Alice.”

“She’s had a bit to drink.” “A-At this time?” I didn’t mean to speak out loud. Mrs Cartelli pulled back with a frown while Leo chuckled in the corner of the room safe from her wrath. “Not t-that-” “Relax,” she replied through a sigh, “I couldn’t ever be mad at you. Look how cute you are.” She mimed squeezing my cheeks and glanced up at Armani standing silently beside me. I didn’t catch the expression he gave her back, but he looked slightly annoyed after.

"Master, please control yourself. Don't cling the second you walk in. Overuse damages my chassis." Then he closed his eyes and went straight to a black screen. I pushed myself upright, equal parts furious and hurt. I'd bought Lucien in the first place because my parents died young, and I'd spent these last few years buried in work, always alone. Then one day a shopping channel ran a segment on AI incubi, and the second Lucien appeared on screen, he had my full attention. He had seductive fox eyes, a high-bridged nose, and the delicate, cat-like curve of his lips. He was made exactly to my taste.

Why was she buying them? Or rather, whom was she buying them for? To find out, I continued following Donna. They settled down in a café, and I bought a hat, taking a seat at a position behind them. "Donna, you haven't been to the gym lately. You must be craving it!" "Please, Lindsay, do you think I'm like you? You couldn't go a day without a man!" "Wow, so you're making fun of me now!" "Stop it, stop it! That tickles…"

"Mr. Keller Senior, I never meant for this to happen. I'm the Keller family's daughter-in-law. I never intended to hurt Elias or Christopher." Gregory, still clutching his hand in pain, froze. He stared at Mom in disbelief. "Daughter-in-law? What do you mean by 'the Keller family's daughter-in-law?' Selena Ashford, you really did cheat on me!" Caught between shock and fury, he shouted for someone to hit her. Mom shot to her feet and slapped Gregory hard across the face. Cold sweat ran down her face as she growled fiercely, "Shut your mouth! Stop this right now. He's not someone you can afford to mess with!"

When she nodded he smiled, "I like pepperoni." When Nick walked through the door to the office he found Cheyenne and Tate at her desk watching a movie on Netflix with a half-eaten pizza box. Tate's face lit up and Nick looked at the two of them suspiciously. "What's so funny?" He asked Tate who was now giggling a little too much at him. Tate and Cheyenne looked at the other and laughed. "I'm sure we have no clue what you are talking about," Cheyenne said looking up at him winking.

She asked with a trembling voice, "Changed? How?" "Maybe you just grew up." I brushed it off, stood, and headed to the bathroom. Behind me, she let out a shaky sigh of relief. "I made breakfast for you, Mateo," she said later, leading me to the table. She was waiting for a compliment. I looked at the spread. The table was covered in an oily, greasy breakfast. I smiled. "Quinn, the doctor told me to lay off greasy food and eat healthier." I glanced at her, faking concern. "You've been really forgetful lately. What's going on?"
