Married To The Billionaire Devil

Chapter 80: Battle line

"What the hell do you want?" She asked.

"Don't you miss me?" He asked lightly, shifting his gaze down to her breasts. Phoenix wasn't wearing much... just a tube top and shorts, so Griffin could see those lovely peaches calling for his attention.

"Get lost, nitwit," she groaned.

"Don't you miss how we used to fuck...?" He asked, drawing his face close. "Damn. You look sexier than before."

Phoenix managed to slip her hands out, she pushed his hand holding the knife away from her neck and kneed his groin.

Trying to get away, Griffin held her again, this time punching her face. Phoenix's lips bursted.

Griffin snaked his hand hard around her neck, choking her.

"Diego's bitch number one.. am I right? Did you enjoy how that bastard fucked and trashed you aside.. that you now work for him?"

"At least.. he.. is better than you," she managed to speak.

"Are you still in love with him? The man that literally fucks without giving a damn about you?"

"That is none of your business, Griffin," Phoenix glared. Choking, her eyes teared up.

"Tssk.. It is my business, baby. You were my girl.."

"You betrayed me. You gave me out to those bastards that almost raped me to death. Diego saved me.. you fucking assholes," Phoenix gasped when his hold tightened more.

"Well, that was because you fell for him while you were still my girl. He took my dreams and then you away from me.. shits happens and now I crave for what he has now.. Candy."

Phoenix's eyes widened.. what the hell?!

"I'll take his wife and also that position he stole from me."

"He never wanted it.. but you pushed him to. It's all your fault, not his," Phoenix was losing consciousness due to lack of air.

"Whatever.. you're coming with me," he stated, tightening his hold around her neck until she passed out.

"Mr. President isn't coming today?" Yazmine asked Candy.

"Hm, he had something to handle," Candy replied.

"Awwn.. you look great after just a few days at home," Yazmine teased.

"Well, Aiden is doing a good job," Candy said, and Yazmine's smile dropped.

"Huh? How did you know?" She asked. "Hmm.. it was Jameson, wasn't it?"

"I'm mad at you; you didn't tell me," Candy pouted.

"I was about to," Yazmine smiled awkwardly.

Aiden came to sit beside them, and Yazmine got up. They exchanged smiles. Candy noticed this and shook her head.

Aiden's face turned serious.

"I think something serious is up. Mr. James looked disturbed this morning when he rushed out after the president called," he said. Yazmine and Candy exchanged glances.

"You still think Griffin is going to stay still? Just do what Diego said, but if he comes back and throws a fit," Old Mavis said to Romeo sitting in the living room.

"And what good is that going to bring, father?" Romeo asked.

"Peace of mind, Romeo. Peace of mind," Old Mavis took a deep breath. "You know you are the start of everything that had."

"So tell me what to do. I just want to bring the family back. Diego is not going to forgive me.. argh.. honestly I don't even deserve it," Romeo muttered, staring into space, he pinched the bridge of his nose.
