Pleasing the Billionaire Eleven: Daddy!
“I heard Dave Foster and Christy Hopkins have been expelled,” those were the first words that greeted Cookie’s ears on entering the classroom where she was to meet with her group members and Professor Chase Henderson.She stilled as soon as the words sailed into her ears, and her eyes sought after the girl that had uttered the words. “W-where did you hear that from?” Cookie asked in an unsteady voice, calling everyone’s attention to her.“Oh, you’re her roomie, aren’t you?” one of the girls asked. Cookie glanced at her. The girl stayed in the same dorm as her. “You should know more about the reason her studentship was withdrawn,”“Yeah,” the first girl chirped in, and everyone’s attention zeroed in on Cookie as they waited for her to offer an explanation for her supposed friend and roommate's situation.Cookie blinked, unsure of what to say. A lump formed in her throat and her stomach tightened. She knew it was Jamie’s doing but what was she supposed to tell them? That her so-called
Pleasing the Billionaire Twelve: Family issues
“Hello, Uncle,” Jamie greeted Arthur but the man’s response was devoid of all pleasantries and formalities.“Have you reached a final decision?” Arthur's cold voice sailed into his ears causing a ball of anxiety to roll through him and settle into his guts.About two weeks ago, Arthur had called again to ask him to attend his adopted father's funeral in London but like before, Jamie had vehemently refused until his uncle informed him that Edward had left a last message for him on his death bed and the only way he’d reveal it was if Jamie was in attendance of the funeral as it directly affected him.“My decision remains unchanged, uncle Arthur,”Silence ensued a bit but when Arthur spoke again, it was with a bitter tone filled with disappointment and resentment that it had Jamie’s heart squeezing painfully. “Edward would be rolling in his grave from this single act of disobedience and disregard for his person,”Jamie opened his mouth to speak but the line went dead. His chest tightene

Pleasing the Billionaire Thirteen: Trip
“Oh my God, this is screaming of luxury. I feel like a princess!” Cookie exclaimed as she glanced out the window of the private jet with a bright smile on her face. Jamie chuckled fondly, resting against his seat with his arms resting on the armrest while he bit down the urge to tell her that she was a princess, his princess. “This is so cool, and it’s even more exciting that we’re heading to London. I’m crossing a lot of firsts out of my list today, and I’m going to enjoy every bit of this impromptu trip,” Cookie babbled on excitedly, while Jamie closed his eyes, his thoughts running through his decision on this unplanned trip. The previous night when he’d casually asked Cookie to accompany him to London, he hadn’t specified what the trip was for, nor did he tell her the truth. To her, it was a vacation but little did she know, it was him revisiting his ugly past just to pay his last respect to the only man that had been a father figure in his life. The trip had been so sudden that
Pleasing the Billionaire Fourteen: His last will
Jamie stared ahead with a dreadful expression on his face as his grip on the steering wheel tightened. Cookie glanced at him from her seat on the passenger’s seat and she reached towards him with her arm, gently brushing her fingers against his that were still gripping the wheel tightly. For a split second, his eyes darted to her and she nodded to him in unspoken assurance. “It’ll be fine,” she whispered and he nodded before returning his attention to the road. They were on their way to the cemetery for his father’s burial. On one end, the death of Edward was getting to him again, as the realization that he’d never see the man again began to sink in, and on the other end, he was dreading his meeting with his family members at the funeral. Cookie’s hand slid to his thigh and she squeezed softly, keeping her palm there as silence descended upon them. For the rest of the drive, she kept her eyes on him. Moments later, they arrived at their destination. It appeared the ceremony had j
Pleasing the Billionaire Fifteen: A good heart
Gasps of surprise and shock filled the room on hearing the lawyer’s words. All eyes were trained on Jamie. Even Jamie himself couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.“Impossible!” Grace spat out, jumping to her feet. Without hesitation, she marched towards the lawyer and yanked the document from his hold before proceeding to read it. “No,” she shook her head, tearing the paper apart and tossing it to the ground. More gasps filled the room. Their eyes were no longer on Jamie but were all fixed on Grace.“Grace…” Arthur started but she cut him off even before he could speak.“Shut up,”“Mother…” Robert called, in a bid to pacify her but she was beyond being pacified, as anger and resentment burned in her bloodstream. “Don’t you dare!” she yelled at him and quickly turned to face Arthur. “I know this is your hand work, you ingrate. After all my husband and I did for you, you decided to pay me back this way?”More gasps filled the room, as whispers and murmurs began flying around but Grac
Pleasing the Billionaire Sixteen: Big surprise
Cookie couldn’t hold back the smile that split her lips as she continuously stared at her newly married best friend, Amelia Ross, and her husband, Ryan Davidson. The couple was on the dancefloor, lost in their own world as the melodious music being played by the live band the wedding planner had hired set the mood for the evening, heightening the emotions of love and affection flying around.The more she stared at her best friend and husband, the happier she felt. Deep down, she thought Amelia deserved to be happy after all she’d gone through. She was just so excited that the woman had finally found love after all of the struggles. Her gaze drifted from the newly wedded couples and rested on some of the other couples on the dance floor, equally lost in the moment. It made warmth spread over her, as each of them reminded her of Jamie and herself. Her heart skipped a beat at those thoughts as she remembered how he’d declined the invitation to be her plus one for the wedding without seco
Pleasing the Billionaire Seventeen: A new threat
Cookie ran out into the hallway, looking for an empty room where she could hide away from Jamie and every other person that might have seen her. All she wanted was to be alone with her feelings. With the tears blurring her vision, she ran farther into the hallway, testing the handles of all the doors until she finally found one that was open. Quickly, she pulled it open and got in but the moment she tried shutting it, a hand grabbed onto the edge of the door, forcing her to keep it open. A gasp flew out of her lips as the door was shoved open, and she saw Jamie standing there with a remorseful expression etched on his face.Her glossy pink lips paused into a mean line, as her glassy eyes met with his soft ocean blues. But that was her mistake. She shouldn’t have stared into his eyes. They made her weak in the knees and she suddenly felt her legs weakening as though she would crash to the floor the next minute but she struggled to remain on her feet, as she shut her eyes just so she co
