Audrey was glad for the company. Being alone wasn’t something she was looking forward to.Sure. Use your key, Audrey messaged back. After a few minutes, the lock clicked, and Damian let himself in.“Hi,” he greeted, helping himself to a cup of coffee. He moved comfortably through the apartment. It had become a second home to him for a while. Audrey sat at the table, and Damian sat across from her.“Hi. What brings you around?”Damian smiled while looking into his cup.“Things really are different. Not that long ago, you never would have ask me that.”“Oh,” Audrey flushed with realization. “I’m sorry.”“Don’t be sorry. You and Lucien are together officially. And I can tell just by looking at you that you’re happy. It’s all I ever wanted for you.”“Damian—”“Please let me say this,” he put his hand up to stop her. “It’s true that I did once have feelings for you. But I always knew that you and I would never be together. I knew you still loved Lucien, and so you could never love me. I ca

For the first time, Lucien mourned. Not because he missed her. He wouldn’t. He mourned her for who she used to be. For what she once meant to him. He mourned her because of what she had devolved to. What happened for her to spiral this way? There had to be more than what she said to him. He mourned her, she who was his first love. All she wanted was not to be forgotten. All he wanted was to forget.He opened the photo album. The first photo was from Lucien’s nineteenth birthday party. Gary had rented a smaller boutique hotel with a pool. The photo captured a silly moment between them.Mia was perched on Lucien’s shoulders while he flexed his muscles showing off how strong he was. Signs of a lively party were caught behind them. People dancing and splashing in the pool. Even Mark was in the photo.In the background, unnoticed with his back to the camera, was someone Lucien didn’t know. He wore a white t-shirt. A tattoo of a claw was visible on his neck.*************“I haven’t been on
The Billionaire's Toy Something was wrong.
“Hi,” she breathed.“Hi. You look great,” he eyed her up and down.“So do you,” she said accepting the flowers. “These are gorgeous. Let me put these in water and we can go.”After getting the flowers situated, Damian held out on arm for her.“Shall we?”**********Lucien dismissed his eighth and last meeting of the day. His brain felt like it was going to fall out of his ears before he made it home. In the short time Eugene had taken over, Reynolds Industries was in free fall. It reminded him of the catastrophe he dealt with right after he and Audrey had been married and he had to run off to Italy. The employees were terrified especially after the police had begun the formal investigation.So many people had been let go or arrested in connection with the corruption. The remainder were scared. Lucien set up meetings with every department so hear their grievances and begin to heal the wounded company.Reynolds Industries was bleeding, and he had to stop it.It had gone that way all wee
The Billionaire's Toy Getting worse.
No matter what happens in your life, you need to remember that you didn’t know happiness until you knew me.“That doesn’t make anything you did okay,” he said through clenched teeth to the ghost that plagued his peace. His phone rang, startling him. It was Audrey.“Hey baby,” he greeted.“Mmm,” she purred. “I love when you call me that.”Her voice was like a balm on his frayed nerves. A soothing, cool breeze whispering on a hot day.“You can’t talk to me like that when I’m at work,” he smiled. “I could get in trouble.”“In trouble? Aren’t you the big bad CEO?” she teased.“You need to stop before this big bad CEO goes over there and shows you just how big and bad he can be.”“Maybe that’s exactly what I want.”Lucien’s pants suddenly felt tight, and all his previous thoughts were forgotten.“Get ready,” he warned.“I’m always ready,” Audrey shot back.Every time you kiss her... That feeling. I taught you that.“Good,” Lucien answered, with a touch less fervor than before.“Okay, there

“I don’t know when it ends, but I’m doing what I can.”“I know,” Lucien deflated. “I’m sorry about all this,” he said indicating the mess he’d made.“Don’t worry about it. It’s not the first time someone has thrown things off my desk. I learned to get things that can’t break. But about this video, I need you to watch it. I need to know what you make of it.”They watched the video, the captain pausing it at different parts to point things out. The mystery man was bone chilling. The way he spoke, the way he moved set Lucien’s teeth on edge.“What do you think?” the captain asked.“This guy… do you know who he is?”“No. I was hoping you did.”“No, I don’t know him. But I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve seen him somewhere before.”“He seems to at least know of you.”“Everyone knows of me,” Lucien said. “Everyone knows who I am. That doesn’t help. There’s something about him. It makes me feel… watched.”“Right now, this is the prime suspect in your cousin’s murder. And we have no idea wh
The Billionaire's Toy His dream.
What did you say?” Audrey asked.“I didn’t say anything. What do you say to something like that?”“Well, what happened after?”“The gallery was amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it. We walked around and by the end, he held my hand. I felt like a little girl. I wanted to skip and sing. It felt amazing. He was the sweetest gentleman. We had our photo taken as we left, and the way he was looking at me made me want to melt. Afterwards, we went to dinner. But like… it wasn’t like a normal dinner. It was a private dinner on the rooftop of the museum. There was candlelight, and flowers, and soft music. It looked like a scene straight out of a movie. The food was amazing, we talked for hours, and he’s so interesting,” she gushed. “He’s so passionate about everything; I could listen to him talk forever. But then he listened to me and asked questions. I kept thinking there was no way it was real.”“Amazing,” Tracy cooed. “But enough of the romance. Get to the good stuff.”“Well…”Becca fel

“Yes. No one should be forced into doing something they don’t want to do or be somewhere they don’t want to be. Sometimes people aren’t up for things. And that’s okay.”He hoped Mark was right, and that Audrey wasn’t actually upset with him. But he would have to tackle that in the morning. Right now, he needed to figure out what the dream was telling him. Going through the things Mia had left him, had stirred up old emotions and memories.His mind floated back to his dreams. A common thread seemed to connect them, and he couldn’t grab hold of it. It was like a ghost playing with the holes in his memory.“A ghost,”Lucien repeated. He sat up; his eyes flew open with sudden realization. He dashed over to where he had left the photo album Mia had left behind. The photo of the pool party was the first one. There was a reason she did that. He analyzed the photo.“What were you trying to tell me, Mia?”And then he saw it. In the background of the photo, facing away from the camera. Panic and
The Billionaire's Toy Mia’s married life.
Mark’s veiled threat wasn’t lost on him. So, anything else he was planning to do to Lucien had to be covert. Nothing could trace back to him or there was no telling what Prince Rocco would do to him… or have done to him. Word around town was that Lucien was spending his time with some college girl. He’d been involved in scandal after scandal over the years, but apparently was trying to clean up his act. He was thriving as the CEO of his company. And that wasn’t going to fly. Something about Lucien’s success just… bothered him. He had already destroyed Lucien once. He’d have to do it again.*****Their whirlwind romance was steamy and passionate. Paparazzi often caught them in compromising positions, and in the middle of intimate moments. They were plastered on tabloids and celebrity gossip blogs. The city was obsessed with their love story and their wedding. Everywhere they turned, details of the wedding were published. Who would design the wedding dress? Where would the ceremony and
