Helplessly in love

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

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.

(Aubrey's pov)

"Rey, wake up. "

I heard a voice whispering into my ear. I knew who the voice belonged to." Isla"

My best friend.

"What do you want?" I asked grumpily.

"Are you serious?, still on bed by 7am" She yelled and her voice was loud enough to make my sleep disappear.

"What?, 7.am, f**k" I pushed her away and ran into the bathroom.

7.00 in the morning. Like what was I thinking?, sleeping so late.

I wore my snickers and combed my long hair not forgetting to put on my face cap. As I walked out of my small room, the aroma of mom's tossed bread filled the air. Too bad, I wasn't going to stay for breakfast.

"Mom, I'm off" I shouted.

"Stay for breakfast, hun"

"I'll come by, later in the day"

With that, I scurried off to my bike.

I'm Aubrey Cox. My mom's name is Rena Cox and i'm the only child. Well, f**k dad. I don't wanna talk about him. My best friend's name is Isla Gomez.

I don't have any particular job, I do many jobs depending on my time.

Here are my daily routine.

From 6 to 9 am, i work for Mrs maria at her home, preparing the kids for school and doing some house chores. From 10am to 1pm, i work at Mason 's restaurant. I just cook and wash the dishes. At 2 to 5pm, I work at Mr grumpy 's gallery shop.

At 6, i help mom at her small restaurant down the street. I'm a very busy person.

Apart from working so hard, i have a part time classes.

"Slow down, Rey" Isla warns.

"I'm late and I'm gonna loose my pay today if I don't get on .... "

I quietly shut my mouth up and continued riding.

I knew it was useless talking to her at this point.

In not less than 20 minutes, I parked my ride behind her house and jumped the stairs to Mrs Maria 's door. I knocked lightly on her door and Mrs Maria opened almost immediately.

"You came late, Aubrey" She started.

"I'm so sorry, Mrs Maria. I overslept and..."

"Cut the crap and get to work"

with that being said, she left leaving i and Isla alone.

"Bye Rey " I said and she smiled before walking up the street.

(Rowan's POV)

My eyes were glued on my laptop when my best friend came in.

"Manny, you're not going for lunch, are you?" He asked as if he doesn't know the answer to it.

I kept quiet still working on some documents.

"Your mom called me"

I rolled my eyes.

"I know, she calls everyday" I answered nonchalantly.
