In the Hands of a Billionaire

Sneak Peek of Chapter 1....

Slowly pulling the door open to the old bar, I quietly stepped inside to the light piano music strumming through the air as the bartender continued to clean the glasses. Sighing, I found a seat at the far end of the bar as the bartender walked towards me with a smile on her pale face.

"What can I get ya, lad?" She questioned as I sighed loudly before looking back towards the empty place.

"Your strongest, please." I mumbled while loosening my tie as I quickly yanked it off before leaning back in the seat with my head thrown back. Today was disastrous. Actually, it was all chaotic once noon had settled in. Business meeting after business meeting and all of it resulting in some major bullshit because my supposed new business partner wasn't nowhere to be found. The bastard hadn't made any calls at all to explain their absence or even tell if they were going to show.

I had told my dad not to give me any business partners because that shit was usual with our family company but my father, being the fucking righteous man he is, insisted that this person would just be great for me.

How wrong was he.

"Here you go, lad. Enjoy." The bartender stated quietly while watching me carefully as I turned the large cup up before slamming it back down as the burning sensation eased its way down my throat, trailing behind the alcohol. "Shouldn't you slow down?" She questioned while moving a stray wisp of blonde hair away from her face as I howled in laughter.

"I have a strong alcohol tolerance. I just need something to drown away this stress. Then the party can start!" I shouted while raising my glass to her again as she eyed it skeptically before shaking her head and pouring some more.

"This isn't the best way to go if you want to drown out your stress, lad." She stated quietly as I tipped the glass up again, downing the contents within less than two minutes. "You're not gonna listen anyway." She added while refilling my glass as I tipped it up and demanded more before falling into the darkness of my drunken state.

The dark haze that surrounded my mind slowly started to ease away as I felt the small tapping of a fragile hand on my face which was soon followed by baby babbles. Slowly opening my eyes, I was met by an unfamiliar toddler who quickly withdrew her hand when she noticed that I was awake. As if she were still trying to figure out if I was awake, she tapped my face again before smiling widely, showcasing a few of her teeth.

"Well good morning to you too, little lady." I greeted while sitting up straight on what looked and felt like a bed. "Where's your mom?" I questioned as her large light brown eyes looked up at me for a second before she crawled into my lap as a woman's voice echoed right outside the door.

"Princess? Where are you?" The woman called out again as her voice mixed in with another woman's voice but this woman sounded more familiar then the other. Glancing down at the toddler, I gently rubbed down one of her dark brown curls as she laughed excitedly. This was one mischievous but smart toddler. And she knew it.

"Raigh-lee? Where are you?" The familiar woman shouted out as I quietly took the little girl in my arms before getting off the bed. As I made my way towards the barely cracked door, I pulled it open while peeking my head out into the hallway as I noticed my twin standing not too far away from my current location with a beautiful curvy woman beside her. This woman was beyond gorgeous. The other women couldn't compare to her beauty. Like the toddler in my arms, she had similar dark brown curly hair but instead of the light brown eyes that her baby sported, she had a set of light blue eyes.

"Ma Ma!" The little toddler squealed in excitement as the woman looked up at me for a second while I stayed in my same spot holding her bouncing daughter. "Ma Ma!" She shouted while looking up at me while holding her hands out towards the beautiful woman.

So, that was a little bit of Chapter 1 for the next book which is based around Aiden. I will be uploading the first chapter soon but I'm glad that you all enjoyed the book!
