Chapter 1 BIG MESS!

Emily POV

*

"Come back here you spoilt brat!" Henry, my elder brother snapped, as he kept running after me in the living room, trying to catch up with me.

"Henry I'm warning you now, don't come close to me, I don't want to hurt you." I threatened, as I finally stopped running.

"Why are you always treating me like an outsider? Why are you treating me like I have no place in this house? This is our father's house, you're my brother for heaven sake, you're supposed to be protecting me, not hurting me! What on earth have I done wrong to deserve this from you?" I yelled.

"Wait a minute, did you just said protecting you? You're so foolish to think that I would do that. That useless thing you call a mother, should've taken you with her, when she was leaving." He snapped, glaring hard at me.

A drop of tears slid down my cheeks, as I stared at him in pains, my heart tearing into pieces. This is what I go through everyday of my life, this is the pains that keeps repeating itself with each day that pass. Outside the house, I'm this cheerful girl, but back here, I'm nothing but a piece of trash, I'm just my brother's money machine, I do the work, while he spends the money, this is what have been happening from onset.

After mom left us to the hands of the cruel world, and ran away to God knows where, this is the pains I've been going through, in the hands of the person I called my brother.

Henry is what you can refer to as a beast, he beats me everyday, take all the money I work hard to earn, and at times, send me out of the house.

"I'm going to leave you today, make sure you bring money home by tomorrow, because if you don't, that's where the problem will start from again." He glared daggers at me and with that he started off to the door, and opened it before storming out of the house.

Dragging my feet to the couch, I let my weight down on it, as more tears came pouring from my eyes. Just what have I done to deserve all he's doing to me now?

What wrong have I done for life to be so unfair to me?

When fate knew that mom was going to abandon us, why didn't dad stayed alive? Now I have to suffer for what I don't know anything about.

Why??!!!

The sound of my ringing phone jolted me out of my thoughts and bringing it out of my jean trouser pocket and a smile crept its way on my face as I behold the caller.

It's Arnaldo, my fiance. He's the only one that makes me happy. Wiping away my tears, I cleared my throat and sniffed before pressing the answer button. Well, I'm using a small button phone, if you must know.

That's the only one I can afford from the little savings I had. Arnaldo had sent money several times to get a good phone, but Henry always took all of it from me, and I always ended up giving Arnaldo one excuse or the other.

"Hello Emily." His sweet and sexy voice came on from the other end, and my heart flustered. I really love this man with everything in me, that's one reality that can never be denied.

"Hello, Mr Williams. How are you doing?" I chuckled dryly. I prefer to always call him that.

"I'm fine, just missing you here." He whined, and I couldn't help, but chuckle.

"Awwwwn! Don't miss me too much, stay focused on your work, and stop kidding around, boy." I rolled my eyes and burst into laughter, even if he can't see me.

"There you go again." He scoffed.

"Have you eaten yet? Where are you now?" I asked.

"Yeah, I took coffee before I left home, and right now, I'm at the airport, going to take the second flight to New York." He said sarcastically.

"Are you kidding me?" I gasped sharply, covering my mouth, with my eyes widened. Is he being serious right now?

"I'm not babe, will soon be in new York, at least, in a few hours, got some business deals to seal with a client, and once I'm done with that, I'm coming down to see you." His voice rang through the phone again.

"Oh my God! I still can't believe this, I think you're trying to play around with me, but not to worry, I'll be here, waiting for you." I rolled my eyes like he can see me.

"Ok then, I'm gonna surprise you. Alright babe, I gotta go now, our flight is almost ready. Take care, see you soon. I love you." He said, before ending the call.

Staring at the screen of my phone, I couldn't help the smile that settled on my face. It's been a couple of months, since we last see each other, and I've really missed him alot.

Letting out a sigh, my eyes darted to my finger, which has a diamond ring fixed on it. Arnaldo gave me the ring as an engagement ring. He already proposed and promised that we're going to get married soon. I can't just wait for that day to come soon, so I can finally leave this hell of a home.

I gasped sharply, as I behold the time.

Gosh! I'm so late for work, it's almost 9am. This is all Henry's fault, that jerk.

I quickly stood up, and stormed out of the house, not after picking my small bag from the table.

Once I got to the roadside, I flagged down a cab, which took me straight to the café.

Stepping out of the cab, I rushed to the entrance, and pushed the door opened, before storming in, with my heart, thumping heavily against my chest. My manager is a strict person, so I know I'm in for some shit.

"Ah you're finally here." One of my colleagues, Aaron, breathed out, as he walked up to me, holding a tray, which contained some mugs.

"Manager Leo has been asking after you for the past two hours now, he said to report to his office, once you're here." He said, before walking pass me.

Oh God please save me, I hope this won't be the end of me here...

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Temple Madison

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
