His woman, his addiction Chapter 1 The worst nightmare

"Allie. Allie! "Mr Austin yelled repeatedly for the umpteenth time today.

They are at the shooting scene for their new magazine project. She was the one assigned to the project but she doesn't understand why he won't let her focus.

She sighed tiredly, already stressed at the rate at which she's been sent on errands the past few days. Her boss Mr Austin has been on her neck. But of course, she couldn't complain, if not, she would be laid off which is something she doesn't yearn for.

She has been working as a staff at the "Diamond" magazine for the past two years. She loves her job even though the Smiths aren't pleased with her type of job mainly because they have their firm "Royals" , a brand that is worth billions of dollars on its own.

Immediately after she was done with college, she was fortunate enough to find a job that she thinks suits her taste. Allie has a passion for taking pictures and videos of scenes. A shooter.

She was offered a job at a larger firm but she declined. She wants to be on her own, find a job, and be successful.

The Smiths tried their best to convince her that no one would bother her or look down on her since that was her fear, but she thought otherwise since most people in the company were aware she is like an adopted daughter.

Unknown to them, she wasn't legally adopted.

They suggested that she be at least a non-regular worker, but she still defied them before she decided to work at a non-popular company in a secluded area. The pay is ok at least to cover her bills.

She was grateful for their love and care for the past few years. She only promised to be that determined independent woman she had always wanted to be without anyone interfering in her life.

~~~

Her legs hurt due to the heels she was putting on.

"Yes. Boss, you summoned me" she answered, panting heavily.

"Don't you think you guys need to reschedule when the shooting for Carlos(a celebrity) should take place, I don't think the set goes with the trend you know... latest styles" he indicated.

"Well... you told me it was perfect earlier" she muttered, baffled by his sudden change of words.

"I just found out it isn't good enough," he claimed, shrugging his shoulders.

"What do you want us to do now? " she asked, screaming inwardly.

"We need to change it" he announced, daring her to complain.

"Oh my boss, you know how cocky the young star is. He won't oblige, and we might miss this opportunity" she reasoned frustrated already.

"What if we publish the magazine and his fans refuse to purchase it? " he argued, folding his arms now facing her like he is interested in whatever she had to say.

"But..but the scenario isn't even bad. I don't understand why you insist we change it" she grumbled.

" I insist you change it. What's wrong with that? "

"It's not necessary though" she pouted with puppy eyes hoping he would be convinced but he shunned her instead.

"So...what you are trying to imply is that I don't know my job, Allie. I noticed that these days you've been all over full of yourself!" he said, gritting his teeth together so that the other staff present wouldn't detect anything.

"No... No that's not what I mean" she clarified, already aware of where the discussion would lead. She has had enough of this man whom she silently has feelings for even though he hasn't been his usual self these days.

"Then what do you mean? make me understand then" he sneered, his eyebrows overlapping in confusion.

"I told you before that isn't what I mean boss"

"So it's true that you've been yourself behaving like you are in charge. I guess I caused this after all. I was the one that initiated our closeness. It is not your fault"

Allie could not hold it anymore as she flared at her boss's harsh outburst.

"You're the one who has been acting differently these days. You find fault in everything I do boss even though I tried to ask you if I had unintentionally offended you " she voiced out.

"Shut up, Allie! always endeavour to listen to those who are more experienced in this field. I know what is ok and what's not okay" he said audibly enough to other staff.

Allie furrowed her eyebrows and slightly bowed down, obviously embarrassed.

"I am so sorry" she apologized feeling remorseful.

"You know what? I am out of here" he walked out slamming the giant door of the building.

She skimmed her eyes around the room and most of them were giving her a farce expression. She ignored them, raised her chin, and moved towards them to announce the sudden change.

Not only that, but she walked into Carlo's dressing room to tell him also. His manager quibbles non-stop but he has no choice after all he had already signed the contract with them which makes it easier for her to convince him.

7:25 pm

Allie was moving towards the space she parked her car ready to go home, but she still reminisces about what happened earlier.

She was surprised and embarrassed by his action, but still, she tried to cover up for him, thinking she was the one at fault.

"Maybe she was too rude, and perhaps she was cocky and arrogant," she thought sadly.

"But we do talk informally most of the time," she continued, raising her eyebrows even though she was the only one in the car.

She reminded herself that they had both gone to a housewarming, and she was the one he picked as his date. Why did he show interest in her in the first place? Now that she has figured out she is in love with him, boom! he started behaving weirdly.

Oh crap!

Her body system was in turmoil as she thought of answers that could solve the whole situation.

"Guess we were not more than boss and worker relationship" she huffed, flinging her heels to the back seat.

"Oh good lord just because he snapped at you doesn't mean he dislikes you, get your shit together" she encouraged herself grabbing a full portion of her hair hoping it would make her focus.

"I would apologize to him tomorrow." She concluded before igniting the car to zoom off to her condo.

~~~~~~~~

The next morning, she wakes up to the rays of sunlight reflecting through her room windows. She glanced at the wall clock, and it was 7:59 am. She sprang up panicking at the realisation that she was late.

"Oh God, I'm late!" She exclaimed, rushing to the bathroom, careful enough not to slip over the floor. The next few minutes, she was already dressed, her hair tied in a rough bun ready for work.

She zoomed off, hoping her cranky boss would look over her lateness and silently wishing there won't be traffic today.

Luck wasn't on her side as the road was already clogged up in heavy traffic.

She intentionally hit her forehead on the steering wheel, already fed up. She refused to pick up her ringing phone.

45 minutes passed before she was able to get through the traffic. Surprisingly, Mr Austin wasn't in the office. The junior retinues were throwing weird stares at her because of how she was sneaking into the staff room, but she was rather not bothered.

Relieved that she was able to scale through, ready to sit when she shuddered at the loud voice of someone.

"Look who finally decided to show up," Becky said.

"I am not ready for your unnecessary tantrums Becky. As you can see, I am busy" she replied, sincerely.

"Busy doing what? wait, don't tell me you don't know we were supposed to have a meeting today" Becky scoffed.

"Just so you know, every one of us were in the meeting room including the boss. We are done after all, but you were supposed to be his business confidante right?" she mocked.

"You were?" Allie panicked inwardly but refused to let it be observable.

"I guess I did not notice their absence when I came in. How can I be so stupid!? " she whispered.

"Allie!" they all exclaimed coming inside one after the other surprised that she was in the staff office.

"I called you close to 10 times this morning, is everything ok?" Layla, the only friend she was close with, said with concern laced in her voice.

She nodded before she scurried off to the meeting room, and truly, they had a meeting since a majority of them were back discussing in the staff room.

She dust-up her frock anxiously, then pressed the knob to the meeting room door to meet Mr Austin only to be welcomed with a word she dreads vastly.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I went to the New York City Clerk's office to handle a simple administrative matter, but the woman behind the glass handed me a nightmare instead. It was a certified marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, filed exactly three months ago. My vision blurred as I read the name in the spouse field: Baxter Noel. I was legally married to the ruthless billionaire whose legal team was currently suing me for intellectual property theft and trying to destroy my career. I remembered the conference in Las Vegas and a drink that tasted far too sweet, followed by a twelve-hour black hole in my memory that I had chalked up to exhaustion. When I sought help at my family's estate, my stepmother and sister didn't offer comfort; they stole my passport, shredded my clothes, and framed me for academic plagiarism to strip away my university fellowship. Even Baxter himself looked me in the eye with cold indifference, claiming he didn't know me and promising to have me arrested for fraud if I ever showed him that document again. Within twenty-four hours, I was homeless, jobless, and being hunted by the most powerful man in the city. I couldn't understand why a man who "eats people for breakfast" would be caught in the same trap as a struggling scientist like me. The confusion turned to pure terror when I looked at the witness signature on the license: Gene Mcclain. My mother, who was supposed to have died in a car crash ten years ago, had signed that paper with a fresh, trembling hand only ninety days ago. "I am holding a grenade, and I have no idea when the pin was pulled." Standing in the biting November wind with nothing but a laptop and a marriage license, I realized I was just a pawn in a much deadlier game. I stopped running and began to fight back, determined to use my unwanted status as the billionaire's wife to uncover the truth about the mother who came back from the dead.
