Chapter 1: The Announcement.
“What is the urgent news my maid had to keep banging on my door that you both are calling for me, I literally am not done preparing for the party we’re having at Brandon’s and Anna would soon be here to pick me up. Gosh!” The door to the study room opened with a beautiful blonde spilling out her thoughts in a distressed tone.Inside the room was her parents together and leaned gently on the desk with their arms crossed, looking plain or rather unbothered to her words.“Missy, we have something to tell you, it is important and for your own good. Try not to freak out.” Her mother said, the warning at the end pushing Missy’s curiosity out of a resting line as she came in further, her face scrunching in confusion.She looked through their dull faces wondering what they could possibly have to share with her that warranted a forlorn expression.“Yeah go on with it, I don’t have much time, I still haven’t pick a perfect dress for the party, this one on me doesn’t look fitted at all.” She spoke in urgency, her eyes glancing at the bodycon claded on her body.“You’re getting married to the Locke’s family.” Her father muttered quickly in a plain voice like she wanted, his look at Missy switching, going plain like the board of a cutting surface.Missy’s head tilted upward, away from the dress she was checking out to look at the father who just gave her an unsettling news, her ears twitching to what she just heard. “Huh? Can you like repeat that? Cause I think I heard it wrong or I simply misheard you. I kinda heard something about marriage and I must be wrong?” She asked, unsure filling her tone as she stared at the grownups with her eyes lowered at them, her gaze narrowing through her eyebrows.“I do not have time for this bullshit you’re displaying, I want you calling things off with whoever you call that your worthless boyfriend, because your soon to be husband is coming here for dinner later this night for a proper introduction between the both of you, and I want you behaving well and not like a young lady who is not informed, and dear do not try to attack this decision because it’s final and cannot be changed. Like your mother said to you earlier, this is for your own good and future. You’re getting married, and that is it.” The man deadpanned further to Missy’s hearing, sparing no seconds of opinions as he walked past her and out of the room leaving an astounded Missy with her mother.“Mom what did he just said? What the fuck did he just said that I’m doing?” Missy asked, about the devastating news she just received that sounded not only unbelievable to her ears, but also the least possible. Her gaze went awful at her mother with her index pointed backwards at the route her father took out.“Missy like he said, this is for your own good. For the good of this family. This is for your future, this is for your sake.” Her mother gave a soft response, her face holding so much sympathy as she approached her daughter.“Which of the Locke’s, they have two sons as you know, and we all know the calamity behind the first born, so will the second son break up with his girlfriend for me also or is he single?” Missy inquired, peering back at her mother with a look of nervosity in her eyes. It must not be who she’s thinking of.“Uhm…” her mother was silent swallowing the lump that seemed to surface her throat, facing somewhere else that isn’t her face to avoid an answer to the question.“Look at me mom, who among the brothers am I getting married to?”“Tyler, darling, and don’t worry, there’s nothing he can do to you or even going to do to you, I promise you are under the protection of his-““What!” Missy yelled, cutting her mother off her statement. Hating that her guess on who her husband would be is right. Her sense knocking off immeditely into rage, pure one that waited no second into exploding on her face.“W-wh-wha-what are you saying? Ty-Tyler who?” She stuttered in between her question, her voice coming out broken as she fought back the tears that threatens to flow down her angry face.“I promise you he won’t hurt you, plus we all know the rumors aren’t always true, just because the world painted him black doesn’t mean he is indeed black.” The mother said, trying to convince Missy the situation isn’t as bad as she think it is or going to be.“Oh really?” She asked with sarcasm, “His first wife left him, and what was her review to the world, he’s nothing but a cold hearted bastard that treated her a vacation to hell, same with his second and third wife, in the space of just one year. I cannot believe what those women faced in his hand or can even try to imagine it. And now me, your only daughter or child, is the one you’re getting married off to a monster. My life hasn’t even began yet and this is what you decide for me, I am eighteen years old mom! Eighteen years old for Pete’s sake. And I hate you so much for agreeing to this, you and your husband that supposedly want the best for me but gave me the worst instead can as well rot in hell.” With that addressed in a total breakdown, Missy stormed out of the study room.Finding her way back to her room where the moment she arrived she lashed out her anger on the things she saw, throwing tantrum and screaming her pain out loud.Hearing the approaching footsteps to her room, she rushed back to her door locking it from behind. The least she want is any of those wicked souls referring themselves as her parent to come console her or show their unwanted sympathy.“Arghhhhhhh!” She screamed in a loud voice as she picked up a flower vase throwing it off on the floor, she went over to her vanity stand clearing all that sits on the table to the floor, the perfume glasses amidst them coming to a shatter.“Missy open this door up right now!” Her mother’s voice, from outside yelled while banging loudly on her door.“Go away!” She yelled back. “I don’t want to see any of you right now!”“Missy-““I said fucking go away! You’ve ruined the life thank you!” She screamed the more, moving to her table stand and making a hard push that had the table falling down with everything on it coming to the floor. She was turning her room into a big mess.All this getting done with tears flowing down her eyes while her father’s words iterated her brain like a favorite song on repeat; in her case a line. She’s getting married and it’s not to anyone but to Tyler Locke. Of all the eligible bachelors in the whole city of Los Angeles, Tyler Locke.“Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Her tone vociferated, the realization hitting her harder.“They never loved me!” She bellowed in a scream filled with so much pain and anger, picking up a stool and targeting her window she threw it, that resulted in the window piecing with how hard the wood cut through and flew outside.Her moment was soon disrupted when her phone began ringing, rolling out a toilet roll that she picked on the floor, she wiped the mucous sticking out of her nose as she walked to where her phone was.Without bothering to check who the caller was she picked the call, “I’M GONNA END THIS CALL AND IF YOU DARE TO CALL ME BACK I WILL CURSE THE LIVING HELL INTO YOUR LIFE!” She yelled out to the phone with tears dampening her eyes the more.“Jeez, what happened to you, who the fuck broke your heart? Is it Bryan? I never trusted him.” A female voice came from the call’s background, talking back at her.This had her pulling the phone away from her ear and checking who the caller was, it was her best friend; Thea. They were suppose to attend a party her boyfriend’s best friend was throwing. And her second best friend; Anna was suppose to come pick her up. She has two best friend, Thea however is more closer to her.“My life just got ruined.” Missy let out in a low voice, crashing on her bed with more tears streaming down her face.“What do you mean?”“My parents just told me I’m getting married to one of the Locke’s son, and it’s not the other brother but rather Tyler. My life is ruined at this very young age Thea, it’s ruined!” She lamented, crying out the more.“What!!!!!” Thea exclaimed from her end, “What do you mean getting married to Tyler, don’t your parents value your life at all?” She added.“I don’t know what to do Thea, and tonight he’s coming over for dinner. This is sudden, too sudden.” She wailed, her palm slamming against her forehead.“I have an idea.”“Yeah,” she answered, expecting her to say the idea.“Why don’t you runaway Missy, you can just run away and come hide with me for few days before we think of a better plan. I really don’t suggest you go with their decision of marrying that devil. I can’t imagine what your life would become if you go to him.” Thea told her, throwing all of Missy’s reality into silence after hearing the suggestion.“Missy? Missy are you still there? Missy answer me?” Thea called relentlessly, weirded out by the silence that came in between their conversation.“That’s a great idea, Thea.” Missy spoke up all of a sudden, her face litting up with a smile surfacing on her lips.“You’re such a life saver, get your car ready outside our compound, I’m getting my things ready now.” She added, her voice filled with determination as she stood up, ending her call with her best friend.A/N: Welcoming you to read my book, a novel with three parts. As in order.Bride To The Vicious BillionaireFalling For The Vicious BillionaireIn Love With The Vicious BillionaireIt’s a journey you should follow me on. I can assure you won’t regret it, if I’m unable to convince you then read to the end of the fifth chapter and see if you won’t be draw in to continue.Chapter 2: Tangible ReasonMissy wasted no more second after the call, jumping off the bed as she dashed right into her closet not before obtaining a slightly big and wide traveling bag from a corner inside her room, zipping it open and relocating some of her clothes from where they were hanged right into the bag.Determination filled her eyes, overshadowing how nervous she’s feeling about her plan coming to success. The only way her future is guaranteed and secured is getting out of this house that wanted to destroy it saying they’re doing it something good.She just can’t imagine her life with Tyler Locke. He’s a monster, everybody knows that, he won’t only did what he did to his other wives to her, he would also wreck her young growing life. She just doesn’t want that. How could they allow the marriage, what prompted her father, her mother is less to be blamed as she seemed coerced to support the decision. But her father, he was pretty grounded and determined to marry her off not o
Chapter 3: Elusive Dinner. Her lips were parted in express of her shock, a paled expression matted on her face with her eyes bulging. Trains of questions railing through her mind. “What happened? How did it happened? What went wrong? What are you saying?” Missy inquired with disbelief, unable to grasp the significance of what she’s hearing from her father. How did he come about losing it all? What is happening to him or happened that made him lost it all? Is it really possible he lost everything? Missy was beyond confused as well as astounded, her creased eyebrows merged with her scrunched face that gazed intensely at her father in expectation of a response.“I don’t know Missy, I honestly don’t know.” He answered, sincerity in his tone, looking away to hide the emotions surfacing on his face.“I just woke up one day and found out that everything I own was no longer mine and has been willed to someone I have no idea of. Whoever the culprit is gave me three days to either get out of
Chapter 4 Missy’s lips were temporarily sealed as she found herself speechless with her eyes glued to the huge man towering above her. The urge to toed herself upward and to kiss that lips of his inundated her desire that eats depth up to her feelings. The need to taste him, to feel what his lips would taste like against her spreading through her system like a wildfire. But that can’t be done to someone hurting your wrist and inflicting minor pains to your body, plus he’s a psychotic stranger that just proves the reputation given to him is no rumor. “Please leave me alone.” She pleaded, tired from struggling. “Are you telling me what to do?” His brows raised at her, daringly as he move them both till Missy’s back was now touching the nearby wall. Missy kept her lips shut, fearful of what his next action might be, than just gazing up at his intense eyes that shows nothing than a wrath unfolding on her when she has no idea what she did to wrong him. “Don’t keep quiet when I ask yo
Chapter 5 Standing in front of Davis Lane as he portrayed the priest and reading out to them the wedding vows that must be taken, Missy’s face speaks so much of her ongoing emotions, her feelings towards all that’s happening; and how she wishes to get away from it. While Tyler on the other hand held a void face to all that’s happening. Dressed in a beautiful laced up white gown, it sparkled against her body while her face gleams in perfection under the light makeup smeared on her face. “Do you Tyler Locke, take Missy Lane to be your wife, to love and cherish, to be with her during worst times, in sickness and in health, in good and bad times, till death do you both apart?” Davis read out, directed to Tyler with a gravid look expressed on his face.“Yes I do,” came out Tyler’s plain reply. “Do you Missy Lane, take Tyler Locke to be your husband, to love and cherish, to be with him during worst times, in sickness and in health, in good and bad times, till death do you both apart?” Th
Chapter 6 Missy’s lips couldn’t stop quivering in shock, her expression could only helped expressing on the matter. She stared in awe at her mother who finally took notice of her and turning fully to face her.They peered at each other with different insinuations. “Mom,” Missy called with her tone feeling held back, “Who are you and what did you mean by that?” She asked, taking failing breaths with many thoughts dribbling her head while trying to comprehend what she just heard.Mrs Lane scoffed with an eye roll, “I’m sadly not your actual mother, so stop with the icky title now that you know.” She revealed, looking away from her and back to zipping the traveling bag between her legs. Missy was beyond wordless, the capability to express in words lost in her system as she stared dumbfounded at the woman in front of her. What did she meant by that? Is she adopted? That would make sense if it aligned with what she heard. “Wha-““How-““??” Missy couldn’t form anything reasonable and o
Chapter 7Tyler tried to focus on his meal but the disappearance of Missy from beside him wouldn’t allow that. Where could she be? She should be back by now, she only went to call her mother didn’t she? What then is taking her this long. His fork tapped against his meal in silence, leaving his lowered gaze focused on Davis. Davis who was conversing with several friends and relatives wishing him congratulations and asking how Missy and Tyler become acquainted to the point of marrying each other. His business partner, investors in his company, all came to the event of Missy Lane marrying into the family of the Locke. Some asked if the marriage is arranged because lately Davis has been looking to expand and grow his company more. To a bigger level in the city, they believed uniting with the richest family in the city would archive that for him. Davis kept his tongue smooth and lied his way out of every question to keep their doubts sealed and that everything is okay. That the weddi
Chapter 8Davis brought out his phone, his fingers tapping on the screen with agitation, he scrolled through his contacts as he quickly dialed Missy’s number. His teeth nibbling on his lower lip biting it with restlessness. The call went through, ringing out aloud as Davis anticipated dearly for her to pick the call, the call ended and it wasn’t picked. This fueled more anxiousness. He redialed the number and it was same. He could the tension rising up his chest.Then Davis decided to call her mother, he called her but the call never went through, surprisingly her number was switched off. “Lane, whatever game you’re playing with me right now. I need you to stop it, because if I decided to play my own game, I can assure more than your life would be on the line.” Tyler said to him, not fazed by the sweats which had surfaced covering Davis’ face from his forehead, rolling down to his cheek. “I’m not playing anything I swear.” Davis insisted, wishing his words could be proof by anyth
Chapter 9Davis felt his soul quivering at his sight, his hand felt stiff and motionless holding on to the phone that hanged against his ear.He stared with fright, unnecessary heat radiating from his within as it blows out panic that had his heart thumping erratically. Right in his two clear eyes, he could see his life at a gunpoint with no idea on how to escape it. He prayed and wished fervently in his mind for a miracle to happen, but he was sure nothing is going to happen. Missy screwed him up, and there’s nothing he and she can do about it. “Please you have-““Last words fella, not some words of consideration because I won’t be giving that.” Tyler never allowed him finish his statement. “Okay then.” The gun went down as Tyler corked it into action, his finger slid in the hole beneath the corner with his whole hand supporting through the hold, touching the narrow button that released the bullet and attempted to press against it before a phone started to ring. It was Davis’ pho
