The officer who had led me out was sitting at the front desk. He looked at me in disbelief.
“You do know we caught him dragging a man behind a motorcycle down Main Street at highway speeds, right? I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up locked up for the rest of his life.”
“Naw. He’ll get out. He always does,” I said.
I was contacted later that day by drug enforcement officers. The information I had and the bodies I’d left were more than enough to convince them that I had just been fighting for my life.
It took a while, but I finally managed to convince them to let Rex go. Mr. Novak had survived and was in critical care at the local hospital. I felt completely free of my dumb mistake.
In the end, I felt sorry for my friend Jimmy who got stuck in a mess he couldn’t dig himself out of. But, some good did come from the whole situation. I got my man back.
We saddled up outside the police station, and I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“You know, we’re married now,” I said.
“I think I want a divorce,” Rex replied. “You’re just too much trouble.”
We both laughed, and everything felt right. As we drove down the open road, as I had so many years ago, I felt free.

THE END
Billionaire Boss Romance - The Billionaire’s Love Child: Nia’s Story
I had known there was a possibility that I would have to manage personal matters for Mr. Ellis, but this was becoming a daily chore for which I had no interest.
“Ahem” I coughed.
The woman was pretty, a tall, leggy blonde with gorgeous skin. Her full figure was sprawled out over the rich silk bedspread, and I couldn’t help but compare her likeness to the girl from the previous night. Mr. Ellis seemed to have a thing for tall blondes. But, then again, there was the redhead last week who had stayed for the weekend.
The girl in the bed stirred and snapped awake after noticing me at the end of the bed.
“It’s 10:30 a.m. and Mr. Ellis has left for business. Breakfast is available whenever you’d like it, and a car is ready to take you wherever you need to go,” I said.
“Thank you, but I think I’ll stay here until he returns,” she responded condescendingly.
I picked up a few of her things from the floor and tossed them to the bed.
“Unfortunately, that won’t be possible, as Mr. Ellis will be busy the remainder of the day. We have your number should he fancy your company again.”
I couldn’t help but feel disdainful of the woman lying comfortably on the bed. She probably hadn’t done much with her life outside of looking attractive. It seemed she wasn’t enjoying my ogling.
“Give me a minute to get dressed, and keep your tongue in your mouth. I only prefer men…most of the time,” she said while biting her lip.
The idea of sleeping with a woman like that seemed reprehensible.
“Whatever the case, I have business that needs attending. I’ll take my leave.”
She gave me a snarl while picking up her things. I paid her no mind and left the room.
The rich marble walls reflected the light passing through the skylight in the main lobby and illuminated the vast entry space. Brent, my driver for the day, stood by the front door in his crisp black suit and driving gloves.
I couldn’t say that I was incredibly used to being driven around just yet, but it was something I could grow to enjoy.
I snatched my briefcase from the entryway table, and Brent threw open the front doors for my exit.
“Thank you,” I muttered.
He ushered me into the black sedan, and I took a moment to look at today’s schedule on my phone. I was running a little late and was hoping Mr. Ellis wouldn’t be too upset about my tardiness.
Brent was a safe driver and quite quick as well. Before long, we had left Mr. Ellis’s grand estate and were downtown. Perhaps I wouldn’t be late after all.
We arrived at a new dig site that was to be christened today. It was a notably large site in the downtown area and was currently a parking lot. However, the location was excellent for what Mr. Ellis planned to build.
After exiting the car, I walked with purpose to meet with my newest employer. He stood beside a reasonably large stage where several members of the media were setting up for today’s announcement. I could tell he wasn’t nervous in the slightest. He actually looked more excited than anything else.
If only people knew what his nightlife was like.
“Good morning, Mr. Ellis,” I said as I approached.
