Billionaire Secret Wife Seventy Five
The closer they got to the mansion, Anne’s eyes got teary. This was the last location she was coming to with her husband before they got in that accident. Amelia did her best to soothe her. Although she had little tears in her eyes, too, she never thought she was ever going to meet her mother, and here she was going home with her mother. It was a miracle. Loveth had been informed to tidy their wing in the mansion ahead of time since they didn’t like the idea of the maids entering their personal space. And she did a good job; the living room was sparkly clean, and they were all hit by the aroma coming from the dining room. Amelia had not expected Sharon and Steve there, but they waited for them in the living room and welcomed Anne as if she were their family. It brought a smile to Amelia’s lip, which in turn brought a smile to Mike. As the room in the wing was limited, Amelia decided to send Loveth to the main mansion; she couldn’t think of separating from the mother she had just
Billionaire Secret Wife Seventy Six
Mike stared at the building that looked like it was about to fall apart. The color was faded, and he couldn’t tell what color it used to be; bushes surrounded it like no one cared to take care of the surroundings. It was wide, and he was sure it would be dangerous for children. The long bushes could easily house dangerous animals like snakes or scorpions, but that didn’t seem to concern whoever was managing it.How could somewhere so unkempt be referred to as an orphanage? Wouldn’t it be better to have the children living somewhere else?Steve scrunched his nose beside him, “Are you sure we are at the right place?”Mike would have asked that question, too, if he hadn’t seen the ‘Made Orphanage’ signboard while they were driving in.Earlier that morning, after breakfast, he had asked his mother-in-law if she remembered the orphanage the incident had taken place, and she had. She had told him the orphanage’s name and address. Amelia wanted to come with them, but she had gone to the offi

“What are you doing here?” Mike’s eyes zeroed in on Florence; she held her phone like some sort of protection. “So… Sorry, sir. I – knocked.” She stuttered.Amelia frowned at her, trying to remove herself from her husband’s grip. Mike held her in place. “You can leave.”Florence glanced at her hand, “But… sir. I…”A glance from Mike sent her running out of the room. Mike pulled Amelia’s cheeks, “Where did we stop?”But shy Amelia got down from his laps and went to bolt the door at the back. She returned with a frown, “I think it’s difficult for some people to understand the concept of privacy.” Although her cheeks were tinted red, Mike knew she was looking forward to their time together, just like he was.“Should I fire her?” Mike's anger was directed at Florence for disrupting their time together. Amelia shook her head; she didn’t want to become the reason someone had lost their job. It doesn’t speak well of her. “So, what do you want?”“Tell me about the orphanage you went to.”He

They were back at the orphanage, and Amelia and Sharon followed them this time. The moment they left the car, Sharon had let out an audible gasp, lamenting how the whole building was supposed to be illegal. She picked up her phone, promising to report them immediately. It was Steve who stopped her from making the call.Mike groaned; it was the reason he didn’t want to bring the women, but Amelia was taking it in better than Sharon. She hadn’t said a word as she continued staring at the building. After a while, she breathed in and urged them to move inside. Sharon had calmed down, but her face was still marred in a frown. They were silent as they walked into the orphanage. Amelia's eyes moved around, taking in everything; if Myers hadn’t decided to adopt her, would she have ended up in a place like this? No matter how much she wanted to hate them, she should be thankful they rescued her from being a victim of situations like this.The reception was just as they remembered it, but in p

Amelia had stormed into the mansion enraged; it was hard to believe that Ava had come after all the warnings. She still thought she could threaten and treat her as she used to. There was no hiding her anger. Immediately, she stepped inside Anne, ready to welcome them with a smile, but frowned when she saw the frown on her face.“What’s wrong?” Her voice was laced with concern.Mike had wrapped his hand around her, making her feel better. “It’s okay, Wifey. You handled it well; no need to get angry or stressed over it.”“What’s wrong?” Anne asked again; this time, her voice was laced with urgency.Mike responded, “We met Amelia’s sister at the gate. She’s angry because of that.”“Amelia’s sister.” Anne parroted.“Oh. The Myers daughter mother. They grew up as sisters.”Anne’s frown didn’t lessen. They led Amelia to the living room, but she already felt better. She knew she shouldn’t get angry about things like that anymore, but the thought that Ava believed she could control her in som

The mansion was silent as they got out of the car. Amelia was expecting Anne at the door, but there was no one. She smiled, thinking of a way to surprise her mother about the pregnancy. She had been surprised about many things and thought her mother deserved a good surprise after everything they had been through.Inside, their wing was silent. Amelia frowned; from the day Anne had come to their house, she always waited for them in the living room. It had never been empty when they got back. Getting suspicious, Amelia moved to her mother’s room, but it was empty. She turned towards the kitchen, toilet, and their bedroom, but Anne was nowhere. Amelia’s eyes felt heavy with unshed tears as she turned to Mike.“Mum is not at home, Mike. She’s not at home. What am I going to do?”Mike frowned; had he made a mistake by leaving Anne alone in the mansion? He pulled Amelia closer, “Don’t cry. We’re going to find mother. Remember what the doctor said. Wait here; I will ask the securities.”As M

“I need to work, too,” Amelia said. She was dressed in a pink button-down dress. She had woken up earlier that day because of the numerous duties at work; she wanted to relieve Mike’s work. Yet, Mike was the one stopping her from working now.“What you need is rest?”She frowned, “I’ve had enough rest. I slept all through the night. I need to help. We’ve a lot of things to do.”Mike knew she was right, but he was scared. What if she started having strange fever again and he wasn’t there? He would be assured if she stayed here with her mother; that way, she could take care of her if anything happened to her.“The doctor said you need more rest. I promise you’ll work later.”Amelia stared at him in disbelief; she was pregnant, not sick. Anne stared at them with a smile that irritated Amelia for no reason. “Stop smiling at us, mum. Tell him I need to work.”Anne sighed; she didn’t want to interfere in whatever was happening. They needed to work out their relationship, but she saw his rea

“What do we do now?” Amelia asked as the private investigator hung up. She knew Mike had insisted she rested, but she wanted to get involved, and she wouldn’t be at ease knowing her husband was putting himself at risk while she was sleeping at home. Mike was the most important person to her, and she wanted to be by his side, always.“Nothing.”Amelia frowned, “What do you mean by nothing? We already have a clue who is involve with Madam Sampson. We should do something and rescue those kids.”Mike sighed, “Come on, Wifey. We can’t just judge based on one meeting. We need more information. She won’t do anything to those kids as long as someone keeps following her.”“But she had no idea that someone is following her.”“Well, that makes it better.”The idea didn’t sit well with Amelia, but she trusted Mike.After dinner, she rested on the bed when Mike brought out his easel. Amelia raised a brow at him, “What are you trying to do?”He shushed her, “I’m trying to capture the perfect moment

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
