The Other Woman

Book Two: The Billionaire’s Decision

In this sequel to The Billionaire CEO, a strange woman shows up on Danny’s doorstep, claiming he’s bound by contract to marry her. Danny discovers there actually is a contract, but can it be broken so he and Danielle can stay together? Or is their relationship doomed to fail?

DANIELLE

“Hello, baby! I’m so glad you’re finally home. I’ve been waiting for over a week for you to return from your trip.” She’s wrapped around him, and she kisses him on the cheek.

“Ericka, what are you doing here?” Danny untangles himself from her.

“Cashing in on our contract. We have three months, then we’ll be married to each other. Just like the contract says.” She tries to reach for him again.

Danny has a scowl on his face now as he looks at her. “I don’t think so; I don’t know how you think that’s going to work either. You’re trying to pull something, but it’s not going to happen.”

I look at him with my mouth still open. “Honey, you know this woman?”

She turns her eyes on me, then wrinkles her nose up. “You must be that skank that took my future husband without my knowledge. Too bad you have to get a divorce now.”

“Don’t you talk to my wife like that! If you value your life, then you had better keep that smart mouth of yours shut.” Danny steps away from her, walking over to me.

She follows, jabbing a finger in his back. “I can say whatever I want to. You’ll have to deal with me for the rest of your life!”

He moves so fast, and he has her pinned against the wall before I can blink. She screams out in pain for a second, then looks at him, groaning.

“Oh, so you’re the one who likes it rough, huh? I can definitely handle that,” she says as she runs her fingers down his chest.

“SHUT UP!” His hateful eyes are focused on her fully now.

“I don’t want to hear your mouth. If I do, it’ll be taped shut, and then you’ll be put in a place where you’ll never see the light again. Understand?” His voice is low and deadly right now.

“You can’t do that to me!” She looks at him with wide eyes. “I’m supposed to be your wife soon.”

He leans in closely and looks at her with fire in his eyes. “I can do whatever I want. If you ruin my life, then I can also ruin yours. Have you forgotten who I am?”

“That’s why I’m here, to marry the man everyone is scared of. I know I’ll be safe on your arm, and no one will ever try to do anything to me since they fear you so much.”

She smirks as she runs her hands over his muscular arms.

“They may not, but what’s to say I won’t?” He backs away from her a little, but he’s still holding her against the wall.

“I can also promise you that you’ll never be on my arm. I have the woman I want on my arm, and it is NOT YOU!” He makes sure he says the last two words very slowly.

She laughs, then locks eyes with me. “Have you forgotten? We have a contract that says I’m supposed to. Not her.” She points her skinny finger in my direction.

“That contract is dead to me. You left the county, but now you show up just a few months before it runs out? Something isn’t right about all this.” Danny shakes his head slowly.

“I came back to collect on it. I wasn’t ready to settle down yet, but now I am, and I’m here to be all yours.” She has an evil smile on her face.

Danny smirks while dropping her off the wall. She coughs a little as her hands try to grab him. He moves away quickly, and he grabs me, wrapping me up in his arms protectively.

“DON’T touch me, you filthy whore,” he growls at her in a deadly low voice. “I cannot stand to be in the same room as you right now. Get out of my house!”

She regains her composure, then takes a step toward him. “This is our house, honey. I’ll start having my things moved in here tomorrow. I hope your bedroom is big; I love big bedrooms.”

“Not one thing of yours will come into this house until I say so. It will sit out on the front porch and get rained on and ruined if needed.”

She scoffs, then looks around the house. “We’ll see about that. My truck will be here at eight in the morning. Hopefully, we can change this around some. It’s too dark and dreary in here.”

She clicks her heels along the tile floor as she walks out the front door.

Danny turns, slamming his fist into the wall behind him. I can feel the waves of anger coming off him. I walk up and touch his arm. He looks at me, then immediately calms down.

He grabs my waist and pulls me to his broad chest, holding me there and kissing my forehead.

“I swear this will not happen. She isn’t welcome here until we get this resolved.” He glares at his men, who are standing around the room. “Do you understand me?”

He looks around the room at everyone as they all nod—servants, bodyguards, and all of us. We look at him, but I’m very worried about him.

He’s raging in anger; his body is hot with sweat pouring out of him.

His dad steps forward, looking at the two of us. “I’m getting my copy of the contract out of where it has been sealed. It may take a day or two, but we have to have a court order to do it.

“I set it up that way so it couldn’t be tampered with. Mine is the real thing and hasn’t been looked at since the day we signed it. After that, it was taken to be sealed.”

“How could you do this, Dad?” Danny’s body is vibrating in anger right now. “Arranging a marriage for a child like that?”

“It was a business deal back then.” His father has straightened up to his full height now. “Ericka’s father had nothing to pay with at the time. He owed me a lot of money, so we came up with this deal.”

Steven steps forward, glaring at his father now. “This sucks, Dad; it’s not like we’re pieces of property that can be sold off.”

“I know it was a mistake now.” His father’s eyes are full of sorrow.

“Then, it was combining two families for more money and power. Now, I can see it was a huge mistake. We’ll get you out of this, son, I promise.” He lays a hand on Danny’s shoulder.

Danny’s eyes have tears in them as he speaks. “You’d better. I won’t leave her; I cannot do that, Dad. She’s my wife, my love, and my soulmate all in one. It would kill me to have to let her go now.”

“You won’t; I promise you that. We’ll find a way out of it,” his father says, patting him on the shoulder lightly.

Danny grabs my hand and basically drags me up the steps into the bedroom. My clothes are off me in no time, and so are his. He has me on the bed, quickly burying himself deeply inside me.

I know he’s frustrated; he’s pounding me hard and fast—no foreplay, nothing. Just our bodies moving together rapidly. Soon, we both release, and he puts his head to mine.

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” His voice is soft with a hint of worry in it.

Smiling, I put my hand against his face and look at him. “No, you were frustrated and needed to calm yourself down. This is your escape, to be able to do that.”

He kisses me passionately, then looks me in the eyes. “You understand me so well. What did I ever do to deserve you?”

I giggle a little as I look at him. His hair is messed up, hanging down in his sexy face. “Put an ad in the paper.”

He bursts out laughing, then kisses me deeply. He lies down beside me, and we lie there, curled up in each other’s arms for a while. Finally, we get up, take a shower, then head back downstairs.

Cory smiles as we appear in the room. “Well, did you work all that anger out of you?”

“Shut up, Cory.” Danny gives him a look that isn’t very nice. “Keep your stupid questions to yourself, please.”

We all laugh at him, then sit down to watch TV.

“So, what’s your favorite?” Steven looks over at me with a grin.

“I have a lot,” I answer, shrugging my shoulders. “Romance, action, scary, and comedy.”

“Wow, that is a big number of movies that you like, then.” Cory grins as he throws an arm over my shoulder for a side hug.

“I got one.” Steven flips through the movie selection on the TV.

He puts on an action movie. We grab drinks and snacks from the kitchen.

When it’s over, I’ve fallen asleep on the couch in Danny’s lap. Bailey is asleep on Cory’s chest, and Steven is snoring on the floor.
