Billionaire Secret Wife Fifty Six
The world moved faster as the car sped on the road. Amelia stared at the scenery from her window; this was the first time she was going on a long-distance journey, away from all she had known, and instead of fear she thought she would feel. She felt at peace and although it wasn’t for fun, she couldn’t help the excitement she felt. This was different from being cooped in her room. It was different from going to work and going back home. She felt free. If it wasn’t going to look strange, she would have loved to place her head out of the window and inhale the fresh air rushing at the car. The air called to her too and she wished she wasn’t sitting in the car but running with her hands spread out.On the other hand, Mike sat quietly beside her. He held the picture in his hand staring at it as if it was about to tell him something. He looked as if he could bewitch the picture and bring the people in it back to life. His hand moved slowly on it tracing the picture. His Uncle sat in

“Anne Devano.”Amelia’s leg failed; it tumbled and she went straight to the floor. The others turned to her while Mike crouched close to her trying to help her stand, but she felt limp in his hand. He pulled his wife up holding her close to his chest. He watched the woman sleeping on the bed. This was Phoenix12 mother. This was the reason he was unable to gather any information about her. She wasn’t dead but alive, but she had ceased to exist in their world twenty years ago. Every data about her must have been erased by her uncle so the killers wouldn’t be able to trace her in any form.Phoenix12 would be so happy to learn about this, but he needed to tend to his wife first.He looked around but there was no seat to drop Amelia. After inhaling a while in his chest, she turned to the woman on the bed and clutched her hand tightly. She wept.Mike shared a look with his uncle who shrugged. Mike wouldn’t be deceived this time; they knew something they were not telling him.Amelia d

Amelia could hardly do anything; she couldn’t eat dinner, or talk with Loveth, and worst, she couldn’t sleep. She turned and tossed on her bed. What were the odds that her mother was friends with the Afonso? And who would have thought that she was going to find out about her mother in that way and manner? It made her thought about how some things that were meant to be, will be. It had been her favorite quote, ‘Que Sera Sera.’ “Awake.” Mike's voice was low beside her. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she hadn’t thought he was going to be awake. “How do you feel?” She gulped. She wished she could dive into her feelings and tell Mike all about her mother. She wished she could tell him how surprised, happy, sad, and angry she was. Her senses were filled with different emotions, and she couldn’t pinpoint on one she was actually feeling at the moment. It was all surreal. But then, Mike had gone through his own share of surprises these days. He might be able to understand her

Dressing up had never been Amelia's forte; she hadn’t cared how she looked or who was looking at her. But, she found herself staring at the thousands of clothes in her closet without any idea what would be the best to meet an online best friend.Mike had gone out earlier that day, probably to meet his uncle and find out more about those who killed their parents. After the knock last night, they had torn apart from each other. Mike draped a cloth on his lower part and stalked to the door. She could see his erection, but he had hidden behind the door and popped his face alone out. A few seconds later, he came back grumbling about busy body sister-in-law. She knew without doubt that he was talking about Ava. She didn’t press him for more information as they both lay down and left sleep taking off the thoughts in their mind.Now, she was getting ready to meet Vold, and she wished she could introduce Mike to him. After staring at the clothes longer than she wanted to, she picked a f

“I’m sorry.” Amelia’s voice was small. She was sandwiched between Claudia and Betty, while Nancy and Christie sat opposite them. She had just finished telling them about her life with her step-parents, and how they had treated her – killing off her social skills. She also told them about how she had suddenly been engaged to Mike, and gotten married without knowing anything about her husband. Then, she told them about the promise to keep the marriage secret from the public.She didn’t tell them that she was starting to fall for her husband. She didn’t tell them that her husband was her best friend. And, she didn’t tell them about Anne Devano. No one was supposed to know about Anne until they knew who was behind their attack twenty years ago, and if she was safe to come out of hiding. But, for now, she was still at the hospital recovering.Mostly, she could barely do anything yet, as her bones were still awake from sleeping for long. And she didn’t remember a lot of things about

The ride back to her parents was silent. Amelia had never felt comfortable in that mansion, and now she was going to voice her opinion and ask questions for the first time. Regardless of all the speech she had given herself, and how she tried to be courageous, she felt sweat break off her back. Her hand shivered and felt sweaty.Mike drove with one hand while his other hand sought hers. He held her as he drove wiping some of the sweat in her hand and rubbing her hand slowly.Amelia smiled at it; the sweet sensation his hand sent through her body made her momentarily forget about her fear until the building appeared in front of them. Mike parked the car but didn’t open it. He watched Amelia take in deep breath. He remembered how she had told him that she felt like a bird locked up. So, this was the place she was locked. Now, that he knew she was Phoenix, a lot of things seemed to fall into place. Now, he knew why she wanted out of the marriage so badly. It must have felt like l

The deadly glare she had come to associate with her father was now fixed on Mike, but he smiled back at her father. She hid her own smirk, as she watched her father trying to unnerve Mike to no result. The staring contest; that was what she had decided to call it, continued for a while before her father broke it. He looked at her, and she knew what he would have done. He would have grounded her from leaving her room or talking to any maid for a week. He would have swept her room for anything that would entertain her and confiscate it, but now, he only relaxed and smiled. “She might not have given birth to Amelia, but she had always been her mother, and your wife will respect her as such.”Mike’s face was cold. She had never seen him like that, but his hand was still warm on hers. He had never let go of her hand for a minute. “My wife will do whatever she wants. She is not obliged to listen to anyone in here. It will be in your interest to listen to her and respect her. Rememb

The ride back to the mansion was quiet. All that filled Amelia’s thoughts were questions she had no answers to. Why did they have to do that? Why were they so happy that she had no idea who her real parents were? What could her parents have done to be tagged betrayals? She furrowed her brow as she gazed outside watching the landscape. She had always wanted to be free from them, but now all she wanted was to be close enough to know the truth. How unpredictable life can be.Mike glanced at her, “Don’t think about it too much. They might have lied to you and are not your real family, but I am. I am your family and Anne is also your family.”She swapped her head towards him, and he flashed her one of those rare smiles. “I won’t lie to you.”She nodded because she knew it was true. He had hidden things from her, but he had never lied to her face. He would rather let her know the truth than lie. “I know, but what are we supposed to do now? All this seems new to me and we keep disc

Billionaire Secret Wife Epilogue
Epilogue Amelia had slept all through the trip; being pregnant only makes her wants to sleep all the time. By the time she felt a little nudge by her side they were somewhere far from home. She could barely pinpoint exactly where Mike had taken them to, but the bright sun and the beach side felt strangely familiar. The air was different too. More natural and makes her lean more into him. She felt like she had seen this numerous time, but it also felt like she hadn’t seen it before. Mike assisted her from the car, and it all hit her like a wave. She had the picture of this in her room for a long time. She had sigh looking at him and thinking it there was heaven, this would be it. It seemed so out of reach then like she could never get here no matter how much she tried, but here she was with her husband. She jumped on Mike. “Are you serious?”He nodded, “Of course, I am serious. I bought this place for you.”Her heartbeat raced. It was a different thing visiting the place she had

The whole room was silent as everyone anticipated the next word out of the newscaster’s mouth. In front of the newscaster, in the left corner of the television was an old picture with five young men and women, with some children sitting on the floor in front of them in a chain. It was easy enough to tell the relationship of the children with the adult. They looked so good while the children looked like they could barely stand without falling. They looked malnourished. The headline was the most captivating; Child Trafficking exposed.They had exposed the names of everyone involved in the trafficking and declared them wanted. Apart from those in the pictures, the journalists were able to fish out more people backing them up behind the scenes. It was a bigger syndicate than Mike expected. It might be one of the reasons; that it was easier for Alfred to cover up the death of his parents.The picture made it easier for Mike’s man to find out a lot about Alfred and to get more vital infor

The news spread faster than Mike had expected, and his wife’s phone had continued to ring non-stop since the announcement. It was mostly from her foster family. He was certain there would be more calls from the company, but there was no finding out because he had forbidden them from reaching out to him. If they couldn’t handle those calls, they don’t deserve to be paid the amount they were. The families were spread out in the main mansion, all seated on the couch listening to the news. Every station talked about the sudden appearance of ‘Anne’ and the ownership of D&D, which suddenly brought back the hidden fraud cases. No one could get closer to the Afonso’s mansion, so they were perfectly at ease at home. Mike held Amelia’s phone, thinking she would be tempted to pick it up if the call was too much. If there were something Mike would thank the journalist for, it was their speed of linking up gossip. In a short time, they were able to figure out about Amelia’s identity and link her

Florence had displayed different emotions with her eyeballs within those few minutes, and at last, she settled for fake tears as she gripped the edge of his table, “I’m sorry, sir, but I don’t know much about him. He barely says important thing in front of me.”Mike narrowed his eyes at her, barely moved by her tears, “Seems you just decided your job isn’t precious to you. I’ll ask the HR to type your…”“No sir,” she screamed. Mike raised a brow at her. “I’m ready to talk.”And she did.She split every little thing she knew about Alfred; most she had gathered illegally, maybe hoping to threaten him when they had a misunderstanding. Anyway, it would work well for Mike without putting much effort into finding things about Alfred.After she had split her gust out, he dismissed her and called the H.R. to fire her. Someone who could be so greedy was of no benefit to the company; she could easily tell others their company secrets to gather favors for herself.Glad from all he had gathered f

As Mike checked his phone, he shared a look with Steve, and they both smiled. It was time to go home. Mike made a call to get a new car before they went home.Amelia couldn’t hide her anxiety after waking up and she didn’t see Mike by her side. He had just gotten hurt, and she knew he might be on one of his dangerous missions. If only he could tell her about it; he keeps trying to protect her.She stood beside the door and called him numerous times, but he wasn’t picking up, which only scared her more. Her mother had tried peeling her away from the door, but it was useless.When Amelia heard a car moving into the mansion, she ran out with Anne hot on her leg. She was super excited until she saw it was a different car, and her legs faltered on the way. The car stopped directly in front of the main mansion, and Sharon came out before Mike’s aunt.Guilt filled her as she watched his uncle come out of the car. Ever since she had gotten her mother out of the hospital, she hadn’t gone back

Mike woke earlier than the previous day, and although his hand hurt like crazy, he unbound the bandage and tried some hand exercises he had seen online last night.Amelia was sound asleep, which was the best. He knew she suspected things, which was one of the reasons he needed to act faster. Thankfully, her foster father had fallen into his trap after his short visit to his house, and the accident was somehow a blessing in disguise. To them, he was in a serious accident. They thought he was still unconscious. He had made sure that the hospital said that if anyone called to ask of a Michael Afonso apart from his wife.It made it easier for him to carry out his operations without them suspecting him. He dressed quietly and called Steve to join him.During their previous investigation, they found out that most of the children would be shipped out of the orphanage today because they already suspected Mike was up to something. Now, it was up to him to save the children, and recuperating

The sound of the ambulance and the continuous shouting matched Amelia’s heartbeat. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down, but Amelia pushed through every person and thing until she got to the hospital reception.The disadvantage of her speed was that she couldn’t say a word as she tried to catch her breath. Thankfully, Sharon was quick to ask the receptionist, “Michael Afonso.”The nurse nodded and started typing on her laptop; by then, Amelia had regained her breath, “Where’s my husband?” she screamed, gaining the attention of others in the hospital. Sharon ran beside her, trying to calm her down when another nurse walked up to them. She spoke with Sharon for a while before leading them towards the V.I.P. section of the hospital.As soon as she saw Steve outside the ward, Amelia rushed towards the room, ignoring Steve at the door. Sharon stopped to talk with Steve,Mike lay on the bed with a bandaged arm, but he seemed alright.Amelia ran towards him and started touching ev

When Mike woke up the next morning, Amelia was fast asleep. He moved out of the bed as silently as he could, trying to avoid waking her up. She looked so lovely asleep, so he planted a kiss on her forehead. Her forehead wrinkled, and he almost beat himself for waking her up until she sighed, turned, and went back to sleep. Mike let out a breath of relief.He knew Amelia was already suspicious of whatever was happening, but he didn’t want her to wake up before he left. He did everything as silently as possible before exiting the room.The moment the door closed, Amelia opened her eyes and jumped out of the bed as quickly as she could with her baby bump. She picked the first dress she saw and wore it quickly. She waited to listen to Mike’s car sound before she ran to the nearest car to follow him.She didn’t think about anything as she jumped in the car and drove after him. Hiding from someone while following them was easier in a movie, but to her, it seemed Mike knew she was following

Amelia paced in the room with her phone in her hands. She kept trying to call Mike, but he wasn’t picking up her call. “I told you to sit down. I’m sure Mike’s fine. He might be driving.” Anne tried to reassure her.She shook her head, “You don’t get it, mum. Mike did all he could to prove he’s worthy to led company. Can you imagine how he might feel knowing he had been dismissed as the C.E.O.”If it weren’t for Anne, she would have been on the way to the company now, but her mother blocked the way, preventing her from going out, which resulted in her calling Mike multiple times. But Mike wasn’t picking up her call.“He must be very devastated right now, Mum. As his wife, I should be beside him in times like this. I should be where he is.”Anne closed the gap between them, stopping her from pacing around the room. “Fine, Amelia. If you want to see him that badly, I can drive you to the company.”For a second, she thought it was a great idea but suddenly shook her head. “No, mum. Hav
