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.

Kaler Bryce's plan wants to stay in his condo for his planned leave but his desired peace for the first time in two years was disturbed by his mother's call at five in the morning.

He rubbed his eyes before he got the phone on his side table.

"What's up, ma? If its not an emergency, just let me sleep, okay?"

"Bryce, son, I had been compromised to get someone from the airport and I had an early meeting with the board of directors today. I can't contact my friend's number which is her mother to tell her that. Can you do me a favor and fetch her from the airport at eight this morning?"

"What? Eight? Ma! Its three and half hours from here before I can make it on the airport! You should call me earlier to say that! I couldn't make it even I go at this moment!"

"That's why I called you! I cannot face her mom if I didn't do anything right now! Come on, what is the use of you being a race car driver?"

Kaley Bryce suddenly got out of the bed. He didn't bother to wash his face or have a mouthwash first. He forcefully get his car keys from the door and the hook came out off its place but he didn't care.

He was a prodigal son, alright, but he cannot let her mother down.

He did some tricks since he knows the fastest route to the airport and because he's a race car driver but still because of traffic, he arrived at exactly three hours.

He's running out of time! It's still twenty to thirty minutes before he can go straight to the arrival area where he can see the person he needs to take home!

He stopped for a second from running towards the airport's entrance.

Wait, take home where? Her mom's place is five hours drive from his condo! And who will he wait in the arrival area? He didn't even know the person nor didn't have a picture or her name! The only thing he knew was she's a girl. Oh God, this sucks!

****

Nia's beautiful face was distorted. She's on the waiting area for five minutes already from the time that she arrived. She didn't have much patience to wait because she's sitting on the plane for twenty hours and forty-four minutes to be exact!

She didn't care about the flight but she's very sleepy since she cannot sleep on the plane. She always remember that plane accident that killed her father and everytime it happens, she got chills all over her body.

She shrugged to forget those nasty thoughts out of her head.

Her mother even got her the place to stay so why should she reject the vacation offer? It's also good to cure her trauma in a peacefully and new surroundings.

Her mother messaged her from WhatsApp about the address she'll gonna stay for the time of her vacation. She also give her extra cash though she had enough money even for a year stay!

Mom: Are you with my friend already?

She's very friendly and accommodating. Just let her know if you need anything.

Enjoy your vacation, sweetie! Don't think of your job that you left here in New York, I'll take care of it.

Take your time to come back home and don't forget to contact me even once a month! I love you!
