BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 69: JUMBLED THOUGHTS
Talon’s P.O.VI watched as they took Naya away on a stretcher, her beautiful body looking so fragile and vulnerable. The family rushed around her, making sure she was comfortable and getting her the first aid she needed. I knew I should have gone with them to the hospital, but something inside me refused to move.So, I stood there, watching them leave until they disappeared from view. I could feel the tears threatening to spill over, but I stubbornly refused to cry. I turned and walked away, my mind in turmoil as I tried to sort through my jumbled thoughts. It wasn't that I didn't care about Naya. I did, more than I could ever put into words. She was my fake wife who turned out to be my best friend, the person who had been there for me through thick and thin. I couldn't imagine a world without her in it. But at the same time, my heart was in chaos. I had been struggling with my feelings for Naya for a long time, but I had never been brave enough to admit it to myself. I couldn't acc
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 70: ALONE AND CONFUSED
Naya’s P.O.VI couldn't believe what was happening. My husband, Talon was a complete mess. And now, Eric had taken him away from me, leaving me alone and confused. I demanded answers from Nelson, who had been trying to get me angry at Talon and Eric. I knew that he never liked me. But he was the only available person to question and he was quick to give me answers to all my questions. "He's been drinking and partying too much lately," Nelson said, his voice dripping with contempt. "It's dad's fault. He's a terrible influence on him."I looked at Nelson, my heart racing. "What do you mean it's dad's fault? What's going on?"Nelson rolled his eyes. "Dad has been too soft on Talon. He lets Talon do whatever he wants and that has gotten to him. He no longer cares about the feelings of others, especially yours.”I looked at him in confusion. “I don’t understand what’s going on here. Please, tell me in clearer terms.”“You know what's going on. You've seen how miserable you've been since
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 71: LOSING CONTROL
Talon's P.O.V“Talon, how could you be so careless?” my dad scolded. “You didn’t even think about your health and your loved ones. You just did the craziest things. How could you? Since when did you become a drunk?”“Dad, you have no right to scold me. I have no answer to your many questions. I’m old enough to do whatever I want,” I said rudely.“You think so?” he inquired.“I know so. This is my life, dad. Let me live it!” I yelled. I had no idea what was going on with me. I never believed that I could be so rude to my dad. But, at the moment everything was happening so fast.“You don’t get to talk to me in that manner, Talon. I’m still your father.”I couldn't believe how foolish I was for losing control of myself like that. Eric had every right to scold me for my reckless behavior, but I wasn't in the mood to listen to him. Instead, I lashed out and demanded to be left alone.“Please, I need to be left alone. I don’t have anything else to say to you.”“You’re so unbelievable. So y
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 72: THE AGREEMENT
Talon's P.O.VI was getting ready for work when Naya brought up her modeling career and our agreement. “All of that would be sorted out. I’d talk to someone about your modeling career. But, in the meantime, we need to have a child. Focus on bearing a child for me. That is the only hindrance for me right now. Once you bear a child for me, I’d have the inheritance. After all, you’d get paid for it.”“You don’t have to constantly remind me that I’m only here for the money. I know that already,” she said calmly.“Better! Then just do your job while I do mine. There’s no time to waste. We don’t have much time left. I don’t want my dad to start becoming suspicious. A lot has happened between us already and this time, we need to get things straight.”“It’s all on you, Talon. You’re the one who needs to do your part because I’m already doing more than mine.”I was frustrated because I felt like she didn't understand our situation. She believed that I wasn’t doing enough. However, I thought
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 73: A NIGHTMARE
Talon’s POVNaya’s sudden scream got me worried, but there was not much I could do. She woke up in a panic, her breaths coming in short gasps as I tried to calm her down. I held her close, whispering soothing words and stroking her hair until her breathing evened out. “What happened, Naya?” I finally asked, when I realized that she was a bit better.“I just… I just had a nightmare!” she screamed.It was obvious that she had just had a bad dream. After all, it wasn’t in her nature to wake up with such shock from her sleep. I just needed to know what the real problem was. I could tell that she didn’t want to spill everything out, but she had to. I needed to know why Naya had woken up with such fright.“What did you see?” I asked calmly.She looked at me with sadness in her eyes. I could tell that it must’ve been a really bad dream. She was literally shaking.“I had a dream about me being pregnant…” I smiled sheepishly. The thought of her getting pregnant beclouded my sense of reasoni
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 74: THE MODELLING INTERVIEW
Naya's P.O.VMy heart was racing as I made my way to my next interview with a modeling industry.I hoped that I wasn't going to be humiliated like I was the last time. The experience I had at the previous modeling agency that had called me was one hell of an event. Even though I tried so hard to erase the memory out of my head, I couldn't.I had been working hard for months to perfect my portfolio and had been looking forward to this opportunity for weeks. Even if the first one failed, I still had a string of hope in me that the next which I was about to attend was going to be successful, especially when I remembered Talon's kind words to me.AsI walked through the busy streets of the city, my mind was focused on the interview ahead, and I was unaware of the danger lurking around her.I had parked my car a bit away from the modeling agency as I didn't want to appear too comfortable to my interviewers. What mattered to me was getting hired, and I was willing to do what it takes to make
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 75: A TURN
Talon’s POVI never thought that my life would take such a turn, but it did. I was in love with Naya, but I guess I didn't show it enough. Or, maybe I just wasn’t in love with her enough. She was always complaining about me being distant and not giving her enough attention. I could attest to that, but I just didn’t want to be too vulnerable. Then, things took a turn for the worse. She had caught me in my office with Greta. And, we were doing the forbidden. I tried to stop her from leaving the office since she was already running away. To do that, I pushed Greta off my body and I realized that she fell to the ground with force. I didn't even realize that Greta was still lying on the ground until she groaned and tried to sit up. I spotted her knee bleeding, but I didn’t give a fuck about her. After all, she was the reason why I was in such a mess. I left her in the office as I ran as fast as I could to catch up with Naya. Before I could get to the office garage, Naya had already ent
BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED BRIDE CHAPTER 76: BREAKING THE DEAL
Chapter 76Talon’s POVI arrived at the house and found Naya crying. Naya was in a terrible state, and I didn't know what to do. I tried to persuade her to tell me what was wrong, but she was too upset to talk. “What is wrong with you? Can you just listen to me?” I yelled.“You have no right to shout at me. You’re the one who is wrong here,” she said.“I’ve already apologized to you. What else do you want from me? You’re not even giving me a chance to explain myself.”“The only reason you want to convince me to stay back is because of the property. I know you too well. That’s what you’re good at.”“Naya, you don’t have to define my whole existence in a wrong way because I made a mistake. I can fix this!”“I don’t need you to fix anything. I just wanna go away from your home and your life. I want to call it a quit.”“You can’t do that, Naya. We had an agreement, and our agreemen
