~Andrea~

Now, he has finally succeeded. He didn't even give me permission to leave but that does not mean I will stay the whole night in this office.

Derrik King is biting more than he can chew and I'll make sure to get back at him in any way I can.

I am standing in front of Lisa right now. She has her hand on her waist, looking me straight in the eye.

I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Lisa always gets me in this spot.

“Andrea, we've been standing for minutes now and you're not answering my question.”

She took a step forward as she said this and held my hands.

“I know you're older, but I'll always look out for you. You can tell me anything at all. Who is this person that sent the clothes and accessories?”

“Lisa, I'm so tired from the day's work. Can you allow me to rest please? I will answer your question later.”

“No Andrea, you're not leaving until you tell me who brought those else I'll tell mom about it too.”

“Okay, Okay, my boss sent it. I'll go with him for

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The night it all changed

    ~Andrea~I spent the whole day with the family talking about things we will do when mom is discharged from the hospital. All this while, my thoughts were still on the big announcement that will be on the news tomorrow. It was night already and I made a decision to tell them the truth before I leave. “Mom, I want to tell you something.”She turns to look at me,noticing the urgency in my voice. “What is the problem Andrea?”“There will be a big announcement today at–”I was still talking when my phone started ringing. If it was any other person, I would have ignored it but it was Derrik. That should mean he is calling to remind me and I can't skip it. Hum.I gave out a deep sigh and looked around only to see everybody looking at me. The call ended while the phone was in my hand. “Andrea, who is that? Why didn't you answer?”“I will answer that later, mom. As I was saying, an announcement will be–” The call came in the second time, cutting me off. If I miss this chance of tellin

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Meet My Fiancee 1

    ~ Andrea ~I felt him hold my hand and it was as if that was the comfort I needed at that moment. We stepped out of the car and met photographers clicking pictures at every step we took. I feel like a different person. I never in my life thought I would one day walk on a red carpet. When we got inside, everybody turned to look at us. “Who is she?”“Is that Mr. King's girlfriend?”“Nobody thought he had one.”These were whispers coming from every corner of the room. “Just relax, let them say what they want to say.” Derrik said as he held my hand tighter. I was scanning the room until I saw Isabella. She looked beautiful in her cocktail gown. The look in her eyes, she hated me.Her eyes bored with rage. Isabella was with a man and woman equally dressed in expensive clothes. That should be her parents. I finally get to meet the famous scott family, but not on good grounds. Derrik directs me to a seat and left me to talk with other people. He knew I was nervous but still left me

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Meet My Fiancee 2

    * Andrea *“ It's an honor to have you all here for the annual CEO of the year awards. We're hoping this year will be as peaceful as the previous years. For now, enjoy yourselves.”That said, a song began playing with couples dancing. I was standing with Derrik when Isabella came. She has been acting like some sort of leech stuck unto Derrik. “Let's dance, Derrik.” She started dragging Derrik to the dance floor after saying that. The next moment, Derrik had his arm removed from her grip and heading towards me. “May I have this dance Andrea?”I nodded in response as I took his hand which was stretched out to me. His hand placed on my waist sent shivers down my spine. I had my hand on his shoulder as we stared into each other's eyes. It looked like everything had stopped moving and we were the only people in this world. Our eyes speaking to each other. We were lost in the moment until an applause broke through. Turns out the song was over and we were in the spotlight now. “An ama

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   You Lied to Us

    ~ Andrea ~“Andrea! Andrea!”I'm I dreaming or is it morning already? Who keeps shouting my name? “Andrea tell us this is not true! Andrea!”I heard the sound of my door creaking and that was all it took for me to wake up. First, it was a blur. Blinking for some time, I saw Lisa and Laura standing in my room. “It's morning already?”“Yes, it is. Now, please tell us the meaning of this news circulating.”Lisa was always interrogating me. What news is it this time? “What news? How do you expect me to know about some news? Did you wake me up because of that? I'm going back to bed, don't wake me up again.”“You should know about this news because it's about you! How the hell are you your boss’ fiancée?” Laurel added. Goodness! That news! I had forgotten everything about what happened yesterday. How could I? “The look on your face Andrea, it shows. This can't be real right? Why didn't you tell us?” Lisa was at it again. “Listen, I can explain.”“Gosh! So it's true Andrea. Why didn'

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Breaking family ties

    ~Andrea~The last thing I wanted was for morning to come. I know it's stupid to have such a wish but I just couldn't bear people throwing my decision to my face here and there. I dressed for work and made my way downstairs. I met Lisa and Laurel who didn't try to talk to me. It hurt that I made this decision to help the family but now, I am facing multiple scoldings from them. I silently had breakfast then went straight to work. The cab driver recognized me as he started asking questions. “Miss, do I know you from somewhere? You really look familiar.”“Sorry but I don't think you know me. It could be a coincidence.”“No, I'm not mistaken. I saw you on the news. You're everywhere on the news as Mr. King's fiancée.”There we go again. “Can we have a silent ride please?”“Sorry ma'am, I was just excited to see you. Everybody believed Mr. King was into men and it was shocking when he finally announced you as his wife.”I ignored him till we got to the office building. The shocking th

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   A challenging life

    ~ Andrea ~She had a look of finality and I knew she really meant what she said. I still went ahead to confirm from her own mouth. “Are you really going to do this mom?”“Yes and it's a final decision.”“I am sorry mom, but I'll have to step out of this door. I hope one day you'll get to know the reasons behind my action. Take care of yourselves.”I step out of the hospital room and disguise myself as before heading to the house. I had to pack a few things I had and wait for Mr. King’s driver to pick me up. I knew deep in my heart that this was going to be the last time I get in touch with my family. I will still take care of them from afar. ************I stood looking around the house I had stayed in all my life. I'll be leaving this house for a whole year. I was going to miss the questions from Lisa and the happy moments as well. When I left the hospital, I went home directly and packed the few things I felt were important. Derrik had called some time ago to let me know the d

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Mr. Johan's Offer

    ~ Andrea ~I stared at every single door the driver and I passed by until we got to one with a different color from all of them. The driver knocked lightly and then gave the door a little push so I could enter. The room looked like the devil's cabin. I could feel goosebumps all over my body. It looked so dark in here. “You are scared almighty Andrea.”I heard a voice say in the darkness. I'll recognize that voice anywhere. I knew it was Derrik but what I don't understand is why the lights in the room were off. Is he trying to scare me or make fun of me? “Could you please turn on the lights Mr. King?” “I knew you were scared. How about we play a game? You find where the switch is and turn the light on yourself.”“This is your house, not mine. How do you expect me to know where the switch is? Please turn on the lights. I'm begging you.”I hate being in darkness. It somehow brought back my nightmares even without sleeping. If I stay in this for too long, I will pass out. I have

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   A difficult life ahead

    ~ Andrea ~ I knocked before I entering the room and met Derrik sitting with his back facing the door. “What did my father talk to you about?” “Oh, you saw that?” “Yes I did. What did he speak to you about?” He stood up when he asked that question. “He offered me money to leave you.” “Did you accept it? I bet you did.” These people always jump into judging people without getting to know them. It's in their blood. “You don't always have to judge people without knowing them. For your information, I didn't accept the money. I know why I am here and just because it's a huge amount doesn't mean I'll throw myself at it.” He sighed before he went back to the previous position I met him. “We have to share this room to avoid raising suspicions.” “I understand that.” I moved toward the bed. “Andrea,” I turned to face him when he called me. “You will start working as the manager in the company as from tomorrow.” I was shocked. From an Assistant to a manager. I wanted the posi

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The contract rumors

    ~ 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

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Suspecting Isabella

    ~ Andrea ~“Don't think about it too much Andrea Just wait right here I'll get you something to eat and then you can take a nap afterwards.” She left out for the food like she said. 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? What if this thing ends and then you have to take responsibility for the child? How do I even know Derrik wants a child? What do I do now? I can't just stop thinking about it. I have to find a solution. Should I tell him about this just like the doctor and valentine suggested or should I keep it to myself and then think about the solution I was still in thoughts when I heard Valentine talk. “I thought I told you not to think too much Andrea. remember you have a baby inside of you and wouldn't like to have it hurt will you?” I shock my head disagreeing about the fact that I won't want to hurt the little being inside of me. I took t

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   Pregnant! 

    ~ 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

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The mystery woman 2

    ~ 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,

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The mystery woman

    ~ 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

  • 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

  • Becoming My Billionaire Boss' Wife   The Date Night

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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
