~ Derrik ~

I was going to meet Adelaine in the same bookshop I had met her. Just hope I will be able to catch the culprit on the spot.

I drove through the familiar environment with amazing scenery as always. I walked towards the bookshop. This is the only way to get hold of him red handed. When I entered, Adelaine ushered me to a place in the bookshop.

“You will be able to hear everything from this angle. Make sure you make good use of it Mr. King. I am counting on you. ” She said.

I was still in the same area waiting to hear something. I was on the verge of giving up when I heard them talk.

“Why did you call me here, Adelaine? You know it's risky.” The voice said. I peeped through the little hole to get hold of the face of this person but it was a little impossible. I knew who it was but needed to confirm.

I had started recording immediately I heard their footsteps.

“I can't do this anymore please. I can't continue spreading false news about someone who did me no wrong.” Adelain

    ~ Andrea ~Used me as a bait really? As per what? What shocked me was the fact that it wasn't Carl. I mean, I heard his conversation that day. Argh! I was just so stupid. How did I expect the Adelaine to be the same as the one leaving bad reviews. It's not like there is only one Adelaine in the whole world. Derrik was just too much. He knew who was behind this and still gave me a hard time. I needed someone to talk to and the only person that came to mind was Valentine. I called her and waited for her to answer but she didn't even after the third ring which was surprising. Vale always answers my call no matter what. Maybe she was just busy and will return the call afterwards. I was still looking at my phone screen to see if she would call when I heard a knock on my door. “Come inside,” I was thinking it might be Derrik turns out it was Carl. I am so ashamed to stand before him right now. “Hey,” I said nervously. “You don't have to be nervous around me, Andrea. I understand you

    ~ Andrea ~Derrik had asked one of his drivers to drop me off at the hotel. I got out of the car with a scarf covering my face. This has become the new normal in the past few days. I called Vale again and again. Just when I was about to give up calling, she answered. “Goodness Vale!” I exclaimed in relief. You scared me . Are you okay? I have been trying to reach you since yesterday.” No amount of words can express how happy I was right now. “I am fine Andrea. I lost my phone yesterday.” “Thank goodness you are safe. I am in front of the hotel you are lodged in.” I told her. “In front? Why?” She sounded a bit off. “Like I said before, I was worried and wanted to check if you are Alright.” I answered, confused by her reaction. “Stay right there. I will be out in a minute.” She hung up leaving me both confused and worried but I still waited as she said. “Hey,” She was breathing heavily like someone who had been chased. I looked at her closely to check if she really was okay and i

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The night the troubles began

    ~ Andrea ~It's been eight months since my agreement with Derrik. I don't know where this is going anymore. We both agreed it was going to be a fake relationship but I was catching feelings and I don't know if it is a mutual feeling or perhaps, a one-sided feeling. We do things real couples do in their married life. We go on dates and make love countless times but I don't know where this stands. Just four months. Four months and everything will be over. I stared in the mirror, my hair in an updo bun, dressed for yet another day for work. If all this ends, do I still stand a chance of keeping my job? Or do I get dismissed? “Andrea, are you still in there?” Derrik called out. I got out of the bathroom and met him seated on the bed. He stood smiling and walking towards me. He placed a light kiss on my neck. “Mm.. Andrea,” He mumbled while kissing other places. “We have to get to work Derrik.” I pushed him slightly and I made my way outside. I was going to put a stop to all this roma

    ~ Andrea ~I spent half of the day with Miss Karen. She is a nice person. She kept telling me lots of things about Derrik and Mr. Johan and giving me lots of advice as well. As well as encouraging me to do good all the time. She is like a representation of my mother in this house. Talking about mom, I have to call her. I rushed up the stairs for my phone. I barged into the room and saw Derrik panic then hide something. I stood watching him as he scratched the back of his hair. I took my phone and went back down to call my mom. She answered in the very first ring. “Aww my baby, how I miss you.” She said immediately she answered the call. “I miss you too mom. How is everybody doing?” “Fine Andrea. I was thinking about calling you. You mind coming for dinner tonight, with Derrik?” She asked. A dinner with Derrik is not a bad idea and I am sure Derrik will like it as well. “That will be no problem mom. I will tell Derrik about it.”“Okay baby. I will be expecting you two by six in t

    ~ Andrea ~I was talking about how much I miss my family all through the ride. Derrik was quiet and I assumed he was listening to me. We finally got there and I saw mom Lisa and Laurel waiting by the door. They might have thought we were not coming. "My baby is here!” Mom exclaimed the moment we got out of the car hugging me. "Good evening Ma'am." Derrik greeted politely. "Oh come here Derrik. you are like a son to me." Mom hugged him and ignored me. Really? Mom was treating him like the son she never had, serving him more meat on the table and ensuring that he was satisfied. I was happy Derrik was having someone fill the void of a mother in his life.All through the night, he was taken care of by mom, Lisa and Laurel. When it was finally time for us to go, mom wouldn't let us, not because she was going to miss me but because she was going to miss having Derrik around. "Really Mom you're not going to miss me but Derrik?" Lisa and Laurel laughed at my question. I glare at them,

    ~ Andrea ~I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I had missed five calls from my family. What could be the problem? I called the number which was my mother's number in haste. “Mom, what is the problem? Why did you call me this early?”“Andrea, you might have forgotten something today is Lisa and Laurel's birthday. How could you forget such an important day?”Oh shoot! I forgot their birthday. “But mom, you should have told Derrik and I when we came over for dinner. Why didn't you?”“Because I wanted you to remember your siblings' birthday. They are so mad at you right now. You better come home.”“I will be there soon. Please tell them I am sorry.”“You have to come and do that yourself and yeah, I don't have the strength for that.”“Okay mommy. I'll be there soon.” I rushed into the washroom, took my bath and then dressed up. I didn't want to disturb Derrick so I dashed down, even missed breakfast and then called the driver to drive me to my mother's place. Few moments late

I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Pregnant in a situation like this. In the middle of a contract marriage which is ending in 4 months, how could you speak like Andrea?

    ~ Andrea ~The first thing I heard when I woke up was Derrik's screams. He sounded angry but I don't know why. I stood from the bed and walked to Derrik. “What is the problem? Why are you passing back and forth?”“You wouldn't believe the news just like this.” He showed me the screen of my phone.“Our contract? How did this happen? How did this get into the hands of the media?”“This is surprising to me as well.” Derrik replied. I was still in thought when I something clicked I had told Valentine Day and I believe she wouldn't go against me should I just call and ask everything “What do you suggest we do about this now, Derrik?”“I am not too sure what you should do now.”We were still facing each other when the door burst open, revealing Mr Johan. “What is the meaning of this?” He questions. “Derrik, tell me this is not true. How can you two get into a contract married? You deceived me and the general public now this action of yours will put us into serious problems.” He was rea
