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.

The Inspector

DESTINY

Dr. Levi's warm smile reassured us as he delivered the news. "Mrs. Barrington, your baby is fine, with a healthy heartbeat and growing nicely." His gaze shifted to James. "But the two of you..." He shook his head, concern etched on his face. "I will have to involve the police. Maybe a social worker as well."

James nodded, determination in his eyes. "Do what you must, Dr. Levi. I have to speak to Inspector Gordon regarding my wife's kidnapping."

Dr. Levi's frown deepened as he glanced at our bruised bodies. "Is it relevant to this?" he asked, motioning to our injuries.

"James, are you sure?" Anxiety clenched my chest, the weight of potential consequences weighing heavily. This could cause a rift between him and his family, not to mention the trouble he'd face with the police. And the media attention... it could turn into a circus.

He squeezed my hand reassuringly. "I've never been more convinced, Sugar. This must end."
