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.

Mother-in-law From Hell

JAMES

The following day, Aurora went out again and left young Arthur in Destiny’s care. I wasn’t very happy about that. We didn’t sign up to be permanent babysitters to the kid, although he was cute enough. Aurora was secretive about her line of work, and, well, judging by how late she came in, I think I had a pretty good idea what she was up to.

I stayed up late that evening. Destiny and Arthur had already gone to bed, and I opted to wait for Aurora. I wasn’t about to give her a key and the password for the alarm to come and go as she pleased. I didn’t trust her or know her well enough to do that. It was near midnight, and she still wasn’t back yet. Damn woman was going to get a piece of my mind.

As soon as she walked through the front door, I called her into the lounge. “Mind if we had a word, Aurora?”

“James! You startled me!” she faked a gasp.
