Chapter: Chapter 36Chapter 36Sometime later Anthony heard a loud squeak from Celeste's bedroom. Tout de suite he climbed the stairs skipping one at a time and then his laugh was uncontrollable. His girl who is a spitfire, who challenges him and makes him dance on her little finger is frightened of flies. “It might have entered your room through the garden. Why did you keep the window open? You could have used air-conditioning instead.”Celeste cried, ran to Anthony and fell in his arms. He chuckled softly and gently ran his hand on her back before kissing her cheek. “It is okay. Don't cry. I'm going to take care of it.” He took out the phone from his pants pocket and called the security. “There is a fly in Celeste’s room. Drive it out of the window.”She nuzzles her head in the crook of his neck. “I'm not going to use this bedroom tonight. Can I sleep with

Chapter: Chapter 35Chapter 35“How dare that bastard! He did not allow me to talk to Celeste on the contrary blackmails me that he will turn her against me. Well, I will see how he does that. Celeste is my daughter. All mine. Boyfriends come and go. But I'm here stable in her life. Always. She knows that and she loves me.” Tom blew his vengeance against Anthony with Dave.“Do not think so loose about that asshole. He has enough evidence against you to prove to Celeste what you are and he is smart to turn the tables. The earlier, the better, we need to get her back to us.” Dave spoke in a neutral tone.“Enough evidence? In that case he should have used his magic by now. Why didn't he? Dave had no words for the question of Tom.“He had installed a jammer in her phone and I could not track her location. I don't know where she went, leaving her phone u

Chapter: Chapter 34Chapter 34The pastToday is Celeste's birthday. Anthony took leave from the office because he wants to spend the whole day with her and make her birthday memorable.“Good morning sweetheart. May all your dreams come true and life take you to places you cherish. Happy birthday.” His extremely masculine gravelly tone brought goosebumps of delight on her skin.Anthony planted a kiss on Celeste’s forehead pushing away the hairs from her face and placed a rose beside her head on the pillow.Her cognac eyes opened, gazing at him in a shimmer. Handsome is an understatement. Anthony is a very attractive man with high cheekbones and a slight stubble. “Thank you very much Anthony.” Celeste pulled his face to her lips and kissed his hairy cheek.“Come on, get ready.&r

Chapter: Chapter 33The pastAfter the engagement ceremony, the guests left. “I want to take leave, my son and wish you a happy life ahead with Celeste.” Lucy stood beside Tom and on the other side Celeste followed.Anthony’s features were calm till then. But the moment Celeste stood beside Tom to leave, he looked puzzled. He made a discreet chin lift and told her to stay back.It was a sweet thrill for her to test his patience. Celeste acted clueless. But was Anthony a man to give up? He had waited enough for her. Now they are even engaged. She is his completely now. He held her hand before she walked away from him. “Celeste is moving in with me tonight, Tom. Tomorrow my men will come and lift her luggage from your house.”Tom was not happy with what was happening and it was not a shock for Anthony. The man was shameless to stoop to any level for m

Chapter: Chapter 32Chapter 32It was the day of her engagement. Since the Rodriguez house is big enough to host as many guests required, the ceremony was planned in the visitor's hall of the house itself.Celeste played her fingers in anxiety. Her mother Lucy took a seat besides and hugged her. "Anthony is an understanding and caring guy. Nothing to worry about. You're a lucky girl sweetheart. Be happy." She cheered for her.Natalie arrived on time. "Congratulations, my friend." Her eyes studied her top to bottom before she ran and hugged Celeste. "You look beautiful."The hair was styled in a bun with motifs on either side. Celeste was dressed in a red long dress. It had a sheer detail in the bust area and below the chest were free flowing curls with sequins. She matched the dress with white stone necklace and earrings which Anthony bought for her on their first date.

Chapter: Chapter 31Chapter 31“It is on September 2nd and I'm thinking of going to a movie with my friend.” She guffawed.“A slight change in your birthday program. If you don’t mind. Spend the day with me and I promise you will enjoy it.” Celeste giggles and it felt like music to Anthony’s ears.“Here are your favorite songs by Jennifer Lopez.” He handed her a pen drive with his eyes focused ahead through the windshield. Celeste took it from him excitedly. “Where are we going?”“You will see it, we will be there in five.” He grinned, staring at her.Just like he said after five minutes they were in front of fancy restaurant with letters dazzling neon lights “Le Meredith”The manager greeted them as soon as they entered and took them to the roof top corner tab

Woke up married to a Barbarous Billionaire
Her father owes me and marriage to this baffling woman is something I can't stop thinking about. I'll make that deal where she becomes mine by hook or by crook. Not that I like her, it is purely revenge. The more arrogance she shows towards me, the greater I want to break her and make her bend to my will." -
When she finds out about the reason for my irate she is on a run. I find out where she is hiding and it's bigger than anything I had imagined. She has a son who is as fragile as she is but his features match mine. My heart can't stop melting and it thuds faster than its pace. But not everything a man wants is realized by God. Her life is in danger, she is chased by someone, and that someone will end at nothing until he gets the evil end that he desires.
****
I didn't want to marry the despicable mafia don. But my father made a deal with the devil and I'm the currency. If I leave, he will destroy my father's fortune and if I stay he will obliterate my heart because in this union the lines between love and hate are BLURRED. I am trapped in the world I despise and a man too wicked to fall for, yet in the heat of night he steals everything from me that I can't repent. His breath burns hot against my neck, pushing me to the wall with a lethal look. “We are married. You are my wife now. Be ready to welcome the life of thorns.”
Woke Up Married to a Barbarous Billionaire is a revenge rejection, enemies to lovers, billionaire romance story.

You are such an attractive man that anger doesn't last for long.”Saul got energized by her words like fuel into the machine. His fingers worked with spontaneity bringing them in and out of her. “I want more, I want you in me.” Sophia cried, going zealous.Saul gave a teasing snigger. “What happened to the shy, stereotyped girl with respect and manners?

Chapter: Chapter 45Chapter 45Saul was about to leave the bedroom like always without replying but Sophia’s words stopped him. “Running away from the past doesn't classify you as a strong person. I thought you would challenge your problems rather than run away from them. You promised me Saul that you will give me replies to everything tonight.”Saul scoffed, turning back and looked at her tiredly. “Stop asking questions like a donkey in shrek. Okay I agree I'm not as strong as I project myself. Every person has his/her drawbacks. This is mine. I can't go on living my past for you because there is nothing interesting or memorable in it.”“Like a donkey in the shrek?” Her eyes dilated with his statement. Sophia was more than hurt. “I thought I cros

Chapter: Chapter 44Chapter 44“Have you ever experienced miracles in your life? What happens if Greg was all this while alive and stands before you one day in future?” Anticipation was evident in his eyes.Sophia stared at him like he had grown two heads on his neck and then all of a sudden burst out into huge chuckles. “I don't believe in miracles. They only happen in fairy tales.”“Maybe not.” Saul couldn't dare to look into her eyes.“Sometimes what you talk about is very cliche Mr Campbell. Don’t worry, you are the only man in my life.” Sophia took his thoughts lightly but Saul was serious. He pondered, even if he tells her he is Greg, she probably will not believe him.

Chapter: Chapter 43Chapter 43“Hmm, why do you think I do not know you? I know you more than you can imagine. It would be surprising but I fell in love with you and married you.” Saul came forward and held her face in his hands. “I don't do business with my family and I don't combine family and business. According to me every businessman should know where to draw that line. Otherwise you never know when the sword strikes and your head is in your hands.” His voice was in a tender susurrus which was surprising to Sophia’s ears. She had never heard Saul so caring and loving towards her.Saul wanted to take one step at a time to disclose the truth about him to her. In that way her mind will be prepared for everything. Secondly, after these three months of living with her under the same roof, one thing is clear to him. He

Chapter: Chapter 42Chapter 42He observed the blood pressure of Sophia slowly rising and promptly changed the topic forcing a smile. “I confessed the truth that we are made for each other and I love you. Now that I totally know about your past, I will wait for the day you accept me in your life.”“I am sorry. I couldn’t lock it in my mind because of the palpitation.” Sophia was happy with Saul’s decision to give their marriage a second chance. Maybe their wedding was not as bad as she thought.On the contrary everything in Saul’s mind was in chaos. A couple of hours later when the doctor came to check upon Sophia he told him about her memory loss. “Like you assumed Mr Campbell, the last few minutes of her memory before the attack are erased from

Immediately he pressed the bell and the nurse arrived. “My wife…she is not breathing.” He stammered getting panicky.The nurse checked the eyes of Sophia and ran out to call the doctor. The whole medical team arrived in a matter of seconds to Sophia’s room. “Sir, you please need to wait outside. We got to examine her.” One of the junior doctors told him.“But, she is my wife. I can stay with her, right?” Saul was out of his senses. He was insisting like a child.“Yes, we understand your worry. We will take care of her.” The physician understoo
