A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 22
I hesitated before picking up Adrian's call wondering why he was calling me. Funnily, this is the first time Adrian has called me since we got married.“Hello”. I muttered holding the phone close to my ear.“Jenny, get ready you are joining me here in California. There is an important event I need to attend and you must be present. As a matter of fact, you have the next one hour to be here and your flight is in twenty minutes”.And just like that, he ended the call. I sat there dumbfounded for a few seconds trying to digest what Adrian told me. Then suddenly, the statement “your flight is in 20 minutes” rang in my head, making me snap back to reality.I flew to my room and jumped under the shower; of course, I had to take a quick bath to smell fresh. Afterward, I brought out my traveling bag from the wardrobe; it was pink in color with the perfect girly vibe. I threw a few official clothes in it and added a dinner dress, hoping I would wear it to the event. I packed up other necessary

After much thinking, I decided to attend to my phone first, then the door, and lastly, my headache. When I glanced at the caller and saw Adrian's name I quickly deduced that he was the one at the door. My gaze quickly diverted to the wall clock and my eyes almost popped out of their socket. What! It was past the time for the event.I rushed to the door to open it, but on second thought, I decided to peep through the door hole first. What I saw scared me to my marrow; Adrian was standing outside sweating profusely and banging on the door in anger; some of the hotel workers were with him, trying to calm him down. I took a step backward in fear, I had never seen Adrian so enraged.The only reason I was able to summon up courage and open the door was because of the workers who were with him outside. At least they would protect me if he tried anything funny.I twisted the door knob clockwise and opened the door hiding behind it. Adrian ran in with the workers immediately, looking around fo

When I saw it was Adrian who made the statement I remained mute. I wanted to tell him that I would love to stay more in the hospital and fully recover but I did not see any use of it. I got used to obeying his orders whether pleasant or not. In no time, the discharge documents were ready, and I signed them and strode out of the hospital with Adrian.We rode in the same car but each of us isolated ourselves to our own thoughts. Soon, rain started drizzling. I manipulated the car window and made it leave a little gap through which the rain would shower on my face. The feeling was so soothing and satisfying. The cold evening breeze was another special therapy for me.When we got to the hotel, Adrian fled to his room, but I was not ready to do the same yet. I quickly ran to the receptionist and asked for the kind lady who was at the hospital with me; after much description, the receptionist finally remembered her and gave me the necessary information I needed.**********Immediately Adria

“Marcus I never knew you were this perverted”. Adrian shrugged with chuckles. “Firstly, I don't just feel right about sleeping with her, and I'm sure she doesn't want it, neither do I. Besides, this whole marriage arrangement is solidly based on business. Secondly, I perceive her to be timid, docile, and reserved. I know she thinks of me as a mean person but I don't care. I can't add taking advantage of her vulnerable state to the list of mean things I have done to her. And thirdly, you know I am a feminist so anything related to abuse of females is highly prohibited by me”. He explained.“Bro, you are truly a genius if, indeed, you haven't tasted her,” Marcus said in one breath.“Everyone knows billionaire Adrian is a genius, a super one at that”. Adrian replied with his voice laced with pride.“So, since you are aware that you are mean to her, why do you keep doing it?”. Marcus asked glaring at him keenly.“Well, that question is actually deep”. Adrian replied, looking away.“But yo

“Hey”. A voice sang after the door was opened.I raised my head and saw Kira. She walked in dressed in our usual hotel working hours uniform. Before I could say anything to her the door flung open.“Why are you not dressed yet?” He asked, his voice reverberating in the room.“I thought we still had about two hours to get there? I stuttered in reply.“Rubbish! Get ready now.” He roared and turned around to leave but stopped abruptly.“And you, what are you doing here?” Adrian asked, looking at Kira.“I am sorry sir. I will be on my way”. She stammered and hurried out of the room.He turned to glare at me coldly, making me quiver.“Who is she?” He asked intently with his eyes still glued on me. “I have observed her around you more often than proper.”“Is it not obvious? She is a worker in this hotel.” I replied.“What was she doing here because her uniform tells that she is in charge of the hallway and not rooms”. Adrian pressed on.“I think she is the one in the best position to answer

Cameras were shuttering here and there, and flashlights kept interrupting my sight. I looked up to Adrian and he wore the most intentional look I had ever seen. We were walking into the meeting hall, hands intertwined like couples walking up the aisle. I felt really nervous plus the crowd from the press and the media around us. They kept stretching their sick microphones to our mouths and asking dumb questions.“Billionaire Adrian, since you got married, you have kept your wife off social media. Could you tell us why?” Another almost poked the cell phone in my mouth “Mrs Jenny Sterling, could you kindly tell us how your marriage experience with Billionaire Adrian is?” The next question was the dumbest question I had ever heard: “Miss Jenny Sterling, rumor has it that billionaire Adrian is good in bed; how true is this?” I almost freaked out. The security men were doing their job but it wasn't enough.“What are you doing?” Adrian whispered at the corner of his lips.“Nothing”. I blurre

I stared at him in bewilderment.“Stop staring at me and eat”. He whispered with gnashed teeth.“You are unbelievable,” I whispered and regretted it immediately because he heard me.“What did you say?” He leaned in again and asked with furrowed brows.“Oh, nothing.” I stammered in reply.“Good.” He muttered and leaned forward to join the meeting again.I heaved a deep sigh, picked up the cutlery, and took a piece of the snack. It had gone cold by then and had lost that hot, crunchy vibe. I continued munching on it and used the wine served along with it to take it down. When I was done with the snack, I sank back into my chair with a filled stomach.After a few minutes of sitting mutely beside Adrian, I observed the meeting room begin to resurrect because it was getting interactive. People were giving their opinions and points of view on different issues and topics. Soon, the menial side talks graduated to heated discussions and blunt exchanges. The board did not withhold anything, pou

The meeting finally came to a wrap. I almost jumped out of my chair in excitement. When I stood up, my limbs went numb for a few seconds and I had to hold on to the table and Adrian's left hand for support. He glared at me, confused, and yanked my hand off. I gulped hard and picked up my bag waiting for him to finish exchanging pleasantries with the board members so we could go home.Out of the blue, the ladies who snubbed me from the commencement of the meeting gathered around me and raised their phone cameras in the air. Selfies were shuttering here and there and I was just trying to make sense of what was going on. Soon, they were making short videos. Some were going live on Instagram, TikTok, and X, saying things like, “Guys, guess who showed up today? Billionaire Adrian's queen and you all know I don't have time for dull moments; we are connecting with her right away.”Maybe I would have had any problem with the whole thing if they were doing it decently and coded but we're just

ZARAH POVInched toward the table, tapping my heels softly on the floor, my gaze fixed on Adrian's eyes, my heart thumping in my chest. I sat on his lap with my skinny body almost touching his, my face mere inches from his own. Adrian looked surprised as his eyes widened and his face quickly turned into a mask of shock, staring at me with his mouth open in a silent gasp."What do you mean you are here, Zara?" he growled almost immediately, his voice awfully low and filled with fury. He pushed me away, his hands on my shoulders and fingers pressing hard on my skin. I fell on the floor with just a little loud thud, my palms scraping against the cold surface. "Arrrr!" I screamed, resonating through the silence while looking up at Adrian, my eyes were filled with anger and deep resentment with my heart thumping fast.Adrian didn't seem to care for the yelling. His expression remained indifferent, his eyes cold and hard. I had to make an opportunity out of it; an opportunity to seduce him,

ZARAH POVMemories of the past flooded my mind, as I stood there, my heart racing with anticipation, my soul burning with desire. I couldn't wait to have Adrian back in my life, to feel his arms around me, to taste his lips on mine. The thought of him had always consumed me, body and soul. I had always been jealous of Jenny, my best friend, who had taken him away from me.The pain of their betrayal still lingered, a raw wound that refused to heal. I remembered the day I found out about their relationship, the way my heart shattered into a million pieces, the way my world came crashing down around me. I had shouted, screamed, and cried, my emotions raw, my pain palpable. I had slammed my hands on the table, the sound echoing through the silence, as I vowed to get him back."Get ready," I had said, my voice low, menacing, "you will soon come back to me." The words had been a promise, a threat, a vow. I had meant every word, every syllable. I went to my wardrobe and opened it, my heart r

SAMUEL POVI stood there in the dim light, fury in my eyes and thunder in my voice, confronting the two men tasked with the protection of Jenny. "What did Adrian do to rescue Jenny?" I shouted, anger and great incredulity in my tone. The men before me cowered, their eyes averted from mine, shoulders sagging in defeat."I don't know, sir," one stuttered, almost trembling in fear. "They were stronger than us...," he almost whispered at the end. I let out a snort of disgust, lips curling in contempt. "Mtchewwwww, just get out!" I exploded while wildly gesturing towards the exit, sending them away from my sight.I paced the room, furious thoughts of Adrian flooding into my brain regarding how he had outfoxed me yet again. "I will not allow Adrian to beat me," I muttered incidentally under my breath in a low menacing tone, which picked quickly to a scream, "No, he can't win!" The sound ricocheted off the walls.I stopped pacing, suffocating an emotion that he had invented and now was takin

Refreshing was the day after. My body felt so fresh after sleep, my mind feeling so completely revitalized, with senses all super alert; I stretched my arms above my head, arched back, and finally stretched the legs, letting out a long sigh of relief, a soft soothing sound that washed over me.My eyes turned toward the spacious room. I took in every detail, every nuance: Adrian was no longer beside me, the absence filling the space: an absence that was present, a gaping hole that echoed.This led to some curious dawning’s in me, little wonderings that sparked a whole fire of questions in my mind. If wondering, then where actually is he? And my mind began to imagine: "Where would he be?" I think my voice is a mere whisper, with a soft, silent query that only I could hear."Honey," came my call, huskily inflected, gentle, a caress of soothing sound in the air. "Yes, my love," came the reply from Adrian, low and smooth, dripping with affection, inviting warmth." "I'm over here," he added

We had the waiter bring us the alcohol, which got us drinking, with that cool liquid sliding down our throats and savoring the taste. Adrian would take a cup of alcohol, and I at the same time would do the same, our eyes meeting in a toast, as we clinked our cups together. In the next 20 minutes, we got high, the music and laughter blending with wild screaming and dancing as we forgot our worries and cares.The club sounded alive, the music pumping and flashing lights in ecstasy, as we were letting it all out and taking off our inhibitions like clothes thrown aside. It was already night; darkness outside seemed to press in as we danced, swaying and moving in perfect harmony with feet. He was so drunk, staggered and ridiculous, eyes glassy, and so slurred were his words.He said he would drive us back home, his voice firm and eyes steady as he took the keys from Adrian. "I'll drive," he said calmly.By the time we came home, we stumbled into the room, our feet dragging, arms holding on

Half-formed words fell from me when the soothing sound of Adrian's arms enveloped me warmth yet whisper much lower than my breath. "My love." With a sly smile mouthing the final words into mine, Adrian broke the kiss. Mischief lingered in his sparkling eyes as he whispered into my ears, his voice a mere husky sound, "Prepare yourself for me, tonight is going to be crazy." I laughed, bubbling from my throat, as they walked out with me to cool evening air.And then I met Isaac and Desmond, and shouted across the parking lot: "Let's go, guys! Let's go and party!" The others cheered, their voices melding together into one joyous noise while we piled into the car and drove off into the night towards a nearby club.As we entered through the door, I could only gasp in awe. The club is indeed beautiful, and its interior is a master-modem-local fusion of styles. Bright colors and intricate patterns adorned the walls, with sleek and modern furniture that could easily invade an alien planet with

Desmond's words echoed out in the air. Emotion caught up with me, and I was feeling astonished. "Uncle Samuel, little son Desmond," I whispered, my voice shaking with disbelief. I opened my arms wide, and Desmond walked into them, holding me tightly. "I hugged him, shouting, I felt so happy," I blurted out, my face streaming with tears. The warmth of his body, the rhythm of the heartbeat; it all felt comfortable and connected."So happy with both of you around me," I said as I held Desmond and Isaac close to me. I turned to Adrian, curiosity piqued. "How do you guys know Adrian?" I asked in wonder. Desmond inhaled deeply, and his eyes momentarily glazed with emotions."Hmmm," he breathed, lips barely forming the word, "Samuel-my dad-lied to me. He said that he was my uncle, but one day, I found out that he indeed was my father." I felt my heart lurch; shock and surprise filled me as the enormity of what he said hit me. Desmond dropped his head in shame and regret. The room faded, and

With open arms around Isaac, a big smile was painted across my face. "How are you, how have you been?" I asked, my voice breaking with emotion. The little sparkle in Isaac's eyes as he said, "I'm fine, Aunty Jenny," was more than enough for me. I looked into his little face, taking in every detail of it, and without fail, I had to hug him again because being back in those arms made all that feeling just so aware."I was looking for you, and I couldn't see you," Isaac explained, excitement and relief mixing in his voice. "I walked to where you were working so they could trace your phone, but they couldn't trace you." Each new word I heard tugged at my heart, and Isaac's eyes bore into mine, telling me of the urgency and fear that had spurred him on to find me."I had no option but to go to Uncle Samuel for he could assist and give you contact," Isaac continued, his voice trembling with emotion. I felt guilt and remorse hit me as Isaac recounted everything he had been through because of

The other two men continued to come closer with their footsteps pounding the ground in relentless chase. They were shooting bullets towards Adrian's car, the gunfire echoing through the air. Starting with a rev, Adrian's car went off, tires screeching as he rode away from the danger. The raw roar of the engine echoed through the air and, in spirit, shook the very foundations of the earth.Adrian, driving like the wind, witnessed his speedometer needle rise and fall a hair's breadth from the upper limits. Isaac and Desmond were so thrilled that their faces glowed with joy and relief. "Yoooo!" They were vociferating, gravely hoarse from the excitement. The atmosphere was thunderous inside the car, filled with buoyancy while speeding away from impending attack.A few minutes later, they reached home, the car crunching softly on gravel as it pulled in front of the house. Adrian, the two men, and I got out, tired faces etched with relief. "Come in," I said to them, with a warm, welcoming v
