THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESTINY. Flirting with Fate

Ever since James Barrington the third was a small child, he hated being told what to do. Yes, he was a rebel, a wild child. His mother died when he was in his teens, barely fourteen and his father… Well, suffice to say, he tried his best to tame James, make him into his image. He failed. Miserably. The more he pushed, the more James pulled. Then there was his grandfather. James’ father was his clone. To top it all off, he was the only child. The heir to the Barrington billions. Now his grandfather and father were setting an ultimatum. Give up his philandering and wild ways, get married and take over Barrington Enterprises. Or face being disinherit-ed. Even arranged for him to meet Marcy Davenport, eldest daughter of Richard Davenport, one of the richest and most influential families in Westwood. He loved his freedom he was twenty-six for heaven sakes. So, James being the rebel he was, promised himself to marry the first woman he runs into who didn’t know him from a bar of soap, just to shut the old men up. Destiny Johnson is a girl from the other side of the track. Growing up in a poor neighborhood, Destiny was used to having very little. Now she lives in a trailer park and works at a convenience store. James sets out to turn her into the perfect girl to impress his grandfather and father, the James’s as he calls them. But as he tries to change Destiny to fit his mold, she is slowly changing his universe around. With her different outlook on the world, she slowly reels James in, making him into the man he was meant to be. Call it fate or call it Karma… An accidental meeting changed both their lives in an instant.

JAMES

“You’re right, Ronan! This is the same guy and with Jenna.” I would never forget that sonofabitch’s face. Just goes to show you, I’ve underestimated that snake of a woman again.

Ronan whistled through his teeth. “This is an interesting turn of events. You should take this to the police. But why do you have it in the first place?”

I told Ronan that I had her followed because I suspected her of trying to get Destiny out of the way. What I didn’t tell him was that I had him followed as well.

“So, what are you going to do about this, Jimmy?” Ronan turned the photo over and over in his large hand. “She’s got some explaining to do.”

“Indeed.” I wanted to confront her, throttle the truth out of her. Also, I wanted to rub this evi-dence in my father’s face before going to the police.

“I know that look on your face, Jimmy. You’re about to do something stupid.” Ronan shook his head at me. “It’s not worth it, mate.”
