Chapter 1 Draft ONE

For the past two weeks.

I'd been trying to convince my mum, about mingling with people a bit more; attending camp meetings---for teenagers, seminars. for exposure and connections. But it seemed like, the more I gave her reasons why I wanted to go out, the more cranky and incomprehensible she was.

I was frustrated.

Did I make a mistake in the way I presented my proposal to her? Did I not say it right? Why does she like saying 'no' every time? I asked myself these questions, as I let my thoughts drive around in circles in my mind.

Just then, my phone rang.

I knew who it was; Aunt Liz, my mum's niece.

At the first moment, I didn't want to pick.

"What could she possibly want this time o," I muttered.

It was after three rings.

I finally picked.

I kept silent for a moment.

"Hello dear," she declared.

No doubt, her voice was rich and deep, and somehow it reminded me of smooth, dark chocolate. That was the only thing I loved about her, nothing else.

"How's school?" She added.

"It's going on well," I nodded my thanks.

"So," she declared, "how are things going?"

"Which things?" I asked cautiously.

"How are things going on the home front, for instance?"

"Is this a setup ma?" I asked. "Did my mom tell you to come to talk to me?"

"I think 'setup' is a little too harsh." Aunt Liz declared. "But, okay---she did mention you'd hit some rough spots."

"You can call them that," I muttered.

"Frightful," she declared.

"What else did she tell you?"

"What would you tell me, if you were here?"

It was a trick question. What was she getting at? "Well," I declared, " I'd probably say I'm worried and scared."

"She did," Aunt Liz agreed. "And I guess that drives you bonkers."

"She's overprotective, she doesn't let me breathe a second!" I demanded.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
