Page 6 of Stuck With A Billionaire Bad Boy

My efforts may have appeared petty or childish– a simple game of tit-for-tat. But to me, it was a matter of principle. I refused to be just another pawn in his twisted game of seduction and exploitation.

I was resolved to teach him a lesson he would never forget – to show him that he could not simply use others for his own pleasure and then discard them at will. And with every passing day, my resolve grew stronger and more unyielding.

As I went about my day, I was caught off guard by a sudden message from Ethan. His unexpected return to the office had put me on edge, and my heart raced as I made my way towards his office with renewed determination.

With each step I took, I felt a fierce resolve building inside me – a burning desire to prove myself to him and show him what I was truly capable of. No longer would I allow him to treat me as a mere plaything, to be used and discarded at his whim.

ETHAN

I expressedmy frustration to Mia, exclaiming, “ Why are you asking about my relationship with Emma ?” Mia retorted,“So, you spent a week with her in London, saved her from kidnappers, visited her in the hospital, and yet you insist there’s no relationship between the two of you? Quite humorous, if I may say so myself!” As Mia continued to speak, I found myself taken aback.

“Who told you that I spent a week with her?” I inquired, struggling to conceal my true nature. You see, it’s not uncommon for me to spend my nights with various women. However, there was something remarkably distinctive about Emma. She was not merely a fleeting, one-night encounter for me.

In that moment, the tension was palpable as the weight of Mia’s words hung heavy in the air. Though I’ve never been one to care who knows about my nighttime activities, her sudden questioning left me feeling disoriented and unsteady.

Following the successful liberation of Emma from her abductors, I took it upon myself to visit her at the medical facility. Upon arrival, I was greeted with the uplifting news that her health had improved significantly and that she was able to be discharged and transferred to her abode. Her grateful family was present, expressing their deep gratitude for my pivotal role in the resolution of this ordeal. After tending to the aforementioned matter, I proceeded to the office. I was promptly apprised by Jack of his recent engagement with our newest client. Subsequently, I summoned Mia to my office. However, I observed a peculiar change in her behavior since we discovered Emma on the outskirts. I inquired if everything was alright. However, instead of a straightforward response, she began to probe and prod with her characteristic questioning and behavior. I must admit, this left me feeling quite irate.

Despite my attempt at cordiality, her interrogative manner left me feeling frustrated and unsettled. It was as though she was insinuating something or perhaps even accusing me of some wrongdoing.

As Mia hesitated for a moment before responding, I braced myself for what was to come. “Jack, Jack told me,” she finally admitted. I felt a surge of fury. How dare he divulge my personal matters to an office employee! Recently, I told Jack that Emma was an escort and that I had spent a significant amount of time with her in London. However, he doesn’t know about my true relationship with Emma. He also misguided Mia, which was frustrating

“You think you have a lot of power and can destroy anyone’s life due to your wealth,” Mia taunted, her tone laced with a hateful edge. I felt my temper rising, for I had never destroyed anyone’s life. As a boss, I believed that no employee had the right to question me in such a manner. Mia’s increasing questions only served to fuel my anger further.

“You’ve destroyed many lives, the lives of all those women with whom you spent your nights. You…you even destroyed my life,” she spat, her anger palpable. I couldn’t help but feel defensive at her accusations, for all those women had come to me of their own accord, with their own interests at heart. And as for Mia, I had never forced her to spend the night with me.

“Listen, Mia,” I began, my tone serious and resolute. “Emma is a dear childhood friend of mine. Jack has misled you. It’s true that I’ve spent a considerable amount of time with Emma, but not for casual flings. In the past, she has aided me in various cases. Yes, I met Emma during my stay in London when she was not working as an escort. She confided in me about her struggles while trying to manage her husband’s business due to his illness. As a friend, I offered her my assistance. Sadly, her husband eventually recovered but ended up breaking Emma’s heart by marrying someone else. This left Emma with few options and led her to adopt questionable means to make ends meet. She possesses a kind-hearted nature, but due to the deception of her husband and the financial situation of her family, she resorted to unfavorable means. My only hope is for her speedy recovery. She’s nothing more than a friend to me. Jack doesn’t know this whole story, and he simply misled you.”

After hearing my explanation, Mia was silent for a moment. But soon after, she began to question me once again, her words piercing my ears. “So, what about all the other women? All those women with whom you spent your nights? Are you telling me that you’re ‘just friends’ with all of them?” Her inquiry left me feeling exasperated and drained, and I knew that enough was enough. Pointing towards the door, I commanded her to leave. She stared at me furiously before storming out.

At that moment, I felt a deep sense of frustration and anger. It was not in my nature to tolerate anyone’s comments or to allow anyone to interfere in my personal life. Yet, Mia had gotten under my skin, and I knew that things were only getting worse.

As I sat in my office chair, clutching a glass of water, my mind was consumed by anger and frustration. The mere thought of Jack’s betrayal and Mia’s audacity made my blood boil. “Jack…Jack, you are dead,” I seethed, my voice barely above a whisper. The depth of my fury was unparalleled. And then there was Mia. My thoughts turned to her, and I knew that I must find a way to deal with her insolence. My mind racing with possible scenarios. It was clear to me that I could not allow her to get away with her behavior, for it had ruined my entire day.

Taking a deep breath, I attempted to calm myself down. This was the first time in my life that an employee had dared to question me, let alone yell at me. The sheer audacity of it all left me feeling speechless, unable to comprehend what had just occurred. As I sat there, trying to process my emotions, a sense of frustration and despair washed over me. What the fucking hell was happening to me? I had always prided myself on being in control, on having the power to dictate the course of events. And yet, here I was, feeling helpless and defeated, at the mercy of a mere employee. I could not allow Mia, or anyone else for that matter, to exert this kind of control over me.

As the sound of the door opening reached my ears, I knew exactly who it was. There was only one person in the world who could enter my office with such gusto, and that was my dear friend, Alex. Our friendship was a breath of fresh air in the midst of my otherwise hectic life, and I always looked forward to our time together. Alex was the only one who truly knew everything about me, including my personal matters. As he walked in, I let out a brief sigh of relief. “Thank you for coming,” I said, standing up from my chair. “I was on the verge of losing it.”

But Alex lunged at me, grabbing my neck and demanding answers, I couldn’t help but feel stunned. It seemed as though the world was closing in on me, and I was trapped. The barrage of questions he hurled at me only added to my growing sense of confusion and frustration. “What were you shouting at Mia for?” he demanded, his grip on my collar growing tighter. “And what were you discussing about that night?”

My mind raced as I tried to process his words. This was turning out to be the worst day of my life, with everyone probing into my personal affairs. And now, even my best friend seemed to have turned against me. “Mia…” I started to say, but Alex cut me off.

“I heard everything,” he said, his tone still furious. “I was outside the office, attending a phone call, and I overheard your conversation with her.” Despite my initial shock, I began to calm down. After all, Alex knew everything about me, including my true nature. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this than meets the eye. Did Alex know Mia? Was there some kind of connection between them? And why was he so angry?. I frantically tried to free myself, but his grip was too strong. I managed to regain my composure enough to answer him. “Mia is just an employee at my office. She joined us recently,” I explained, hoping to diffuse the situation. But Alex wasn’t satisfied. “That doesn’t answer my question,” he growled.

Finally, I mustered the courage to ask the question that had been gnawing at me. “Do you know Mia?” It was then that he revealed the truth. “She’s my sister,” he spat out, his face twisted with rage. The shock of his words hit me like a freight train. Despite our close friendship, I did not know that Mia was Alex’s sister. He barely mentioned his sister. I only heard about her once, when he was buying a birthday gift for her. According to Alex, they were not very close, and I did not know her name or anything about her. I felt a wave of shame and regret wash over me as I realized the gravity of my actions. I had slept with my best friend’s sister, and now it seemed that everything was falling apart. The tense exchange with Alex left me feeling shaken and uncertain. His words cut deep, and I couldn’t help but feel the weight of his accusation. “I know very well about your activities, but I won’t let you do this to Mia. She’s innocent, and she doesn’t know anything about the world. You’ll destroy her,” he seethed, his anger palpable. Trying my best to remain composed, I responded, “Calm down, Alex. I had no idea that Mia was your sister. There was no connection or relationship between us, she’s just an employee.” But my words seemed to fall on deaf ears. “Assume that I’ll believe you? No. I know all too well about your true nature,” he continued, his tone still filled with fury. “I won’t allow you to do all this with Mia.” And with that, he stormed out of the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts and a heavy feeling of regret.

In a fit of frustration, I grabbed a paper weight from my desk and hurled it against the wall. What was happening? I couldn’t comprehend it. Where had Alex gone? Was he heading towards Mia’s office? I jumped out of my chair and made a beeline towards Mia’s office. I couldn’t let him find out about our one-night stand. As I arrived, I overheard Mia’s surprised voice, “Your friend… I didn’t know he was your friend.” Her brother had warned her to stay away from me, saying I was a playboy with an overblown sense of wealth. Mia, however, reassured him that she didn’t like me anyway.

MIA

“Mia,Ethan is requesting your presence in his office, ” Jack informed me while I was busy at work in my own office. I nodded in response to his message, acknowledging that I would comply with Ethan’s summons. A week had passed since I completed my initial training. During this time, Ethan was preoccupied with his own case, and I, on the other hand, was assigned various data analysis tasks by Jack. My interactions were solely limited to my fellow colleagues, as I had no further encounters with either Jack or Ethan since our previous argument.

Suddenly, Jack turned back and addressed me once more. “Mia, I must apologize for my previous remarks regarding Ethan. Discussing his personal affairs was unprofessional and I should have refrained from doing so. But, I never expected you to argue with him about it.”

I sighed, feeling the weight of his words. “I know, Jack,” I replied solemnly. “You weren’t lying about Ethan, and I shouldn’t have confronted him like that.”
