BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 16: MY WIFE
NAYA’S POV“It’s been long you told a joke,” Eric said, forcing a laugh out of his lips.Even as he said it, it was evident Eric didn’t believe it himself. His face was grim and it was the saddest thing I’d ever seen. He seemed like he would crash into tears if we stayed too ling in his presence.Talon was clad in a white shirt tucked into indigo pants, his black shoe glinting in the light that shone in the room. Eric was in an armless round-necked shirt that was worn over khaki shorts and a slippers.Less than five minutes ago, Talon had knocked on his door. The time was between 7 and 7:15. From what I knew thanks to Lily Eric rose early but stayed in his room until it was 8am; Talon was disrupting his routine.When Talon announced his presence at the door, is father had come out with disbelief evident on his face as he stared at Talon and I. I understood the look. Talon would leave him before 6:30 and only made it home until the sun was long gone. So, seeing hi standing there, in f

NAYA’S POV When the car reached the front gate, we were checked in by security who smiled heartily at Manuel — dude was so popular! Gosh! Past the security, who made a show of checking underneath the car for bombs. Anyways, Manuel shook hands with one of them and I didn’t miss the green paper that changed hands.The car drove past the checkpoint, moving past card and I waited for us to settle into the parking area. Except we didn’t. The driver kept driving towards the building and I felt my chest tightening.What happens now? What if security called us for trespassing? Would the trip to the Maldives be cancelled? I was looking forward to this! Why is the driver acting like he’s some brainless twat? This isn’t how it happens in the movies! The driver’s don’t drive like they’re going mad!Looking over to Talon, I saw his eyes buried in his iPad as he relaxed into the passenger seat of the Mazda CX-5 we were crushing along in, looking as handsome as ever. What was wrong with him? Why wa

Chapter 18Talon's P.O.VI understood that I could be so serious sometimes. But, I felt that it is the best way to handle things, especially things that involved humans. Humans needed to be pushed, so I thought. I spent my whole time focusing on my iPad during the flight. After all, I wanted nothing serious with Naya. So, why should I even try to start up something in the first place? Anything at all."Talon," she called out. For a few seconds my gaze fell upon her. It was the first time I had given her a long stare since the flight began."What," I said, curtly. Even if I knew I sounded too cold, I kinda felt she deserved it. What the heck was she trying to say? "I want us to talk.”"About what?" I inquired as my attention shifted back to my device."It's about your own part of the bargain.""What about it, Naya?""You said you were going to make me a super model. Remember?" I totally ignored her. "Or have you changed your mind about it already?""We've already talked about all of t

TALON’S POVI could not contain my anger and disgust when the plane landed and almost crashed into the middle of nowhere. How could something as severe as that happen?"Hey, you two!" I yelled at two of the crew members. "You're fired.""Please, don't do this sir –""Shut up." I turned to some other crew members. "And you all are fired too. I don't ever want to see you anywhere near me!" I was burning inside. At that point I didn't care about what was going to happen to them. I just wanted them out of my sight. By the time I was done firing some of the crew members, there was only a few persons left.Naya and I got down from the plane and I ordered Manuel to make reservations for our apartment. Naya was quiet the whole time. I thought about what she might be thinking about, but I didn't bother to ask her questions.We got into a private car and we were taken to an hotel owned by one of my old friend, Vince Dallas.As a young dude in his thirties, he was a man with a cunning personalit

Naya's P.O.VMy eyes were filled with tears. Talon was right in front of me. Acting all nice all of a sudden. I was so mad at him. How could he treat me so badly and not feel remorse? I wanted to slap him so hard. But, I had to play along. I acted like I wanted him to keep touching me. I even got closer to him and let my skin brush softly on his. He could see the tears in my eyes, glaring. He had no compassion. Clearly, he wasn't affected by my tears."Wow!" Vince marvelled. "Y'all are so cute. Love birds –""Yeah," I said. I was so dramatical about it. I raised my head to kiss Talon on his forehead and he reacted by kissing me deeply on my lips. We looked at each other, coldly. We hated what we were doing, but we had to. I was so disgusted. We winked at each other and only Talon and I could see how angry we were at each other."I'd love to invite you both to the lounge. You'd love it there. Trust me!""Really?" Talon inquired. He moved away from me as he turned to face Vince. "That'

Naya's P.O.VI was horrible at singing. Everyone was staring at me and I was so embarrassed. I thought the day my ex left me was the worse day of my life, but I had to reconsider. Maybe the day on the stage was. I loved listening to romantic songs and I thought that I'd someday be able to get those lyrics straight up. Instead, my experience made everything worse. I could hear myself clearly and I could tell I was doing it wrongly. The crowd was not satisfied with my act. They wanted me to leave. And, I wanted to leave too.Tears gathered up in my eyes as I sang and it was all because I thought of that jerk that threw me out of his life, my ex. I used to believe he loved me genuinely. I thought we were going to end up together, forever. I strongly believed in happily ever after when I was with him, not until he left me. He left me stranded, without looking back for once. We had been together for a while and everything was going fine, but he couldn't be with me because of what people

Naya's P.O.VI smiled sheepishly when we were out of the stage. Talon didn't smile back I felt stupid. Vince scrutinized Talon and I. Talon was raging with anger, he moved away from me. I didn't want Vince to notice more than whatever he had already sensed about Talon's sudden change of attitude towards me. But Talon made things worse, he left the arena without staring at me even for once. He left the lounge and I followed him. He didn't notice me until he was at the front door of the lounge."What do you want from me?" he questioned me. He frowned. "I don't know why you had to follow me. You could just go back to the lounge. I don't want any distractions right now. Especially not from you. Please, respect my decision and get the hell out of my way.""I thought –""What were you thinking?" he queried, interrupting me from what I wanted to say."You thought we were cool? I just did all that to keep my plans safe and just so that Vince doesn't ask me questions." He looked away. "I'm out

Naya's P.O.VI couldn't get what Vince said to me out of my mind. He looked so calm, but I figured he wasn't one to joke with. Afterall, he had the money and the fame, to an extent. I was scared and at the same time terrified. I was in Vince's territory. He could harm me. I was just bluffing when I talked back at him. I walked away from him, I had to. I got to the room and I found Talon. He was smoking at the balcony. The room was a bit smoky."Where the heck have you been all the time?" he inquired. "I said, where have you been?" he repeated when he didn't hear a word from me. I acted as though no one was talking to me. I went into the bathroom to have a warm bath. I needed to have one. There was already so much in my head. And I wasn't ready to deal with Talon at the moment. He was too much trouble. I hated that all we did was argue. He was always angry, and so was I.I turned on the shower as I took off every piece of clothing I had on. I had a long bath. The threatening words of

BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 115: THE COURT HEARING
Talon’s POVThe next day, I woke up early to make sure I was ready for the court hearing. I knew it was going to be a difficult day, but I was determined to see it through. Naya was feeling better after a good night's sleep, but she was still nervous about what was to come.As we drove to the courthouse, I could feel the tension in the air. Naya was clutching my hand tightly, her eyes darting around nervously. I tried to reassure her as best I could, telling her that everything was going to be okay.When we arrived at the courthouse, we were ushered into a small room where we waited for the hearing to begin. The minutes ticked by slowly, and I could feel Naya getting more and more anxious.Finally, the judge entered the room, and the hearing began. Nelson was brought in, looking sullen and defeated. He had already been found guilty of attempted murder on a pregnant woman, and we were there to hear his sentence.The judge wasted no time in handing down his decision. "Nelson, based on t
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 114: SO MUCH HATE
Naya’s POVI couldn't believe what had just happened. One moment, we were all sitting at the diner, laughing and chatting away, and the next, Nelson tried to convince my personal maid to poison me. What did I ever do to him? Why did he have to hate me so much? Sometimes, people just die without knowing that they are falling for a trap. The trap in my case was the one that Nelson set for me. But, I was lucky that the maid didn’t let it happen. Soon enough, Talon called Eric and he was in the house in no time. Eric slapped Nelson across the face when Talon narrated everything to him. The sound of the slap echoed through the room, and everyone fell silent. I was in shock, my eyes wide as I stared at Eric. Eric didn't say anything, just stood there with his jaw clenched. Nelson, on the other hand, looked stunned. He put a hand to his cheek, which was now red and stinging.Talon immediately went into action, trying to calm me down. "Hey, it's okay," he said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 113: POISONED
Talon's POVThe maid who was supposed to bring extra food for Naya was delaying and I wasn’t finding it funny. Why was she taking so much time? Worse still, Nelson was in the kitchen with her. I didn’t want to think that Nelson was up to something bad. I didn’t think that way because I believed that he wouldn’t want to harm me in my own house. But, as time went on, Naya grew more and more impatient, and I could no longer try to calm her down. She just needed to be given food. She couldn't control the anger she was feeling inside. "Where is the maid? I'm starving. It's been an hour since she said she would bring me food,” Naya said in frustration.I got up from the couch and walked towards the dining room, curious to see what was going on. As I tried to enterthe kitchen, I saw the maid standing nervously by the door. She had a tray of food in her hands, but she seemed reluctant to bring it to Naya."Naya, the maid is here with your food," I said, trying to ease the tension in the ro

Talon's POVNaya apologized for leaving like that and told me everything. My heart swelled with relief and happiness as she poured out her heart to me. I was worried sick about her. But now, she was finally back in my arms and telling me everything that had happened. As I listened to her story, I couldn't help but worry if she was really fine. She seemed so vulnerable and fragile, and the thought of anything happening to her tore at my heartstrings. Even if she assured me that she was doing just fine, I couldn't completely believe her. The next day, I decided to do something special for Naya. I was going to get her an engagement ring, and marry her again without her knowledge. I knew it was a little unconventional, but I wanted to show her how much I loved her and how committed I was to our relationship. Naya’s POVWe watched a movie together. After the movie, when we were getting ready for bed, Talon finally spoke up. "I'm sorry I got so angry earlier," he said, looking at me. "I
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 111: THE CONTRACT
Naya's POVAfter Talon calmed down, I explained everything to him about my dinner with Nelson. I told him that we had talked about the property dispute and that Nelson had agreed to end the fight between them. But Talon didn't trust Nelson at all and assumed that he was up to something.I tried to reassure Talon that he had nothing to worry about and that everything would be fine. I even joked that he should make me something to eat, which made him laugh. But despite his laughter, I could tell that he was still feeling uneasy about the situation.As Talon went into the kitchen to make me something to eat, I settled down to watch a movie. But my relaxation was short-lived when I received a call from work.

BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 110: DINNER TALK
Naya's POVI met Nelson in a restaurant for dinner, hoping to catch up on lost time and rebuild our friendship. But the conversation took a strange turn, and before I knew it, we were discussing Talon and his ongoing property dispute with his brother.When Nelson arrived, I could see the guilt in his eyes. He knew that he had let his down, and he didn't know how to make things right. That was my own version of the look I saw on his face. I asked him why he hadn't been there for me when I needed him the most, and he told me that he was afraid of making things worse. I was taken aback by his response. I had never thought that Nelson was the kind of person who would be afraid of confronting his problems head-on. But I could see that he was genuinely sorry for his behavior, and I decided to forgive him.I couldn't help but feel frustrated and confused about why Talon was still fighting with his brother, even though he had already won the property. It seemed like a petty and unnecessary c
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 109: I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU
Talon's POVI rushed Naya to the hospital. She had passed out due to stress, and I was extremely worried about her. I couldn't get the picture of her smiling towards me before she passed out, out of my head. I wanted her to be okay and free from any form of stress. I loved her and she was carrying my child. I had every reason to protect her. The hospital staff did their best to reassure me that she would be fine, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness that I felt at that moment. Deep down, I wanted to shake the feeling off my head. I wanted to be normal and hope for the best. But, my fears piled up. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to the woman I loved or my baby. They both had a special place in my heart, and I was not ready to replace them. I knew at some point that I had to be strong for Naya.When Naya finally woke up, I knew that it was time for us to have a heart-to-heart conversation. I gently encouraged her to open up to me and tell me what was on her mind.
