Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 21 Cold attitude
Evelyn picked up the card and the photo in tears. She was trembling as she paid the bills for Peter's treatment. That was her top priority and nothing would stop her.Not even the ache in her heart right now. Why he was always so quick to judge her was what Evelyn would never understand!She couldn't push out the way he looked at her. The shock and the disgust that filled his face would definitely scar her tonight.Just how did Olivia get those photos? From this angle, anyone would immediately misunderstand the situation but why didn't Lucas simply ask for an explanation?He really must think of her as some whore who would be with just anyone.Whenever they met, she always ended up being hurt. If it wasn't from his humiliation and words, it would be his attitude.Time and time again, he had told her there was nothing but a contract couple but it seemed as though it didn't sink hard enough into her head.This time, she made up her mind to avoid him as best as she could. That was the on

"Cheers!"The clinking of glass soon followed and everyone took a sip off their drink. The project was successfully over and the team was having a little celebration.Evelyn wasn't left out as Alex had dragged her along. He couldn’t possibly let everyone else celebrate when she did most of the work."I'd like to propose a toast," Alex raised his glass and smiled at Evelyn who was sitting next to him in the booth. "To Evelyn. Her hard work got us this far and I must say, I am very pleased to have her on our team!""To Evelyn!" the other three chorused with glee.They all drank heavily that night whereas Evelyn was careful not to drink too much. She still ended up a bit tipsy either way. She was a light drinker so after one bottle of beer, she lost all functions of her body and could only smile, grin and laugh at everything anyone said."I'll go get more drinks for everyone," one of them offered but Alex was already rising to his feet, holding a tipsy Evelyn by the shoulder."I'll drop
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 23 The Video
Evelyn awoke with a start. She looked around the familiar room with no memories of how she got home last night but could remember little details of being with Alex.Her head banged and throbbed but she couldn't give her hangover any attention, she was rushing into the bathroom to freshen up for work.She dressed quickly and got to the office holding a cup of coffee to start her day. As she walked with such urgency in her steps, her hips swinging side by side, she was oblivious to the man following her.The coffee was soon snatched from her grasp and she jerked, whirling on her heels with a panicked heart but the smile on Alex's face calmed her down."You turned in quite early, Evelyn. I'm shocked. After last night-""I'm so sorry for any inconvenience I caused," she quickly interrupted with her cheeks turning rosy pink from embarrassment.It was supposed to be a team's dinner but she had to go and get drunk. Evelyn almost smacked herself in the head."Don't mention it. You were very c
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 24 Stay Away From Other Men
Evelyn paused at his cold tone, wondering why he was angry. She shouldn't have asked if he was going to turn against her but she couldn't just ignore him seeing how he sulked on the couch with the lights out.The only source of light right now was from the kitchen but that still didn't brighten up everywhere. The shadows over Lucas made her nervous and she looked around for the light switch.Why was he angry? Did something happen?Just then, she thought about Alex. Didn't he say Lucas took her home?Maybe that was what Lucas wanted to hear. After all, it was rude of her to burden him in her drunken state."Thank you," she summoned the courage. "I heard you brought me back home last night. I didn't know all morning, I would've talked about it so… thank you and I hope it wasn't a struggle."Lucas waited but when nothing came, he couldn't believe it; that was it? That was all she was going to say?She wasn't going to explain herself like she needed to do? Even after he caught her with an
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 25 Sell It
Ever since that night, their relationship had improved a bit. They could exchange greetings whenever they met eye to eye. It wasn't awkward like before.Evelyn didn't mind it. In fact, she was a little pleased about it. She no longer felt uneasy and tense whenever she went home.Although Lucas wasn't at home all day, it was good to know that they weren't on bad terms.During the weekday, when she was all alone, she realised she couldn't be lazing around. Having one job to cover up Peter's bills won't be enough to take care of home.After all, her husband wasn't well-to-do. He would need her money coming into the home too for future purposes.Since he already provided the house, the least she could do was pay for groceries and whatever thing that might arise.She soon started to fancy the thought of picking up a part time job. She could pull it off. Her job closed by 5pm. and she could rest an hour before going for another job.A convenience store didn't sound too bad, even a good plac

Lucas spent the night at home. They slept in their respective rooms, completely aware of each other all through the night. It was a strange feeling but it oddly put a smile on Lucas face.The next morning, he was in an even better mood for some unknown reason. Well, he did know why but he didn't want to admit it to anyone else.He dressed simply in his unbranded suit and tie before Evelyn woke up and he made it to his office without breaking a sweat. He headed straight to his desk after collecting his cup of coffee from Mr. Parker who followed closely behind.The man was itching with his silence as he had something to say. "Sir, if I may?""Hmm?" Lucas gave him his attention with his brows arched in question."Why do you keep pretending to be poor?" he threw it out there before he lost his courage. "I mean, last night, those jewellery cost a fortune. Even my salary doesn't come close-"Lucas stare shut him up. The pointed look he threw his way was enough to tell him that this was none
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 27 Fake Jewellery
The necklace sat heavy on her neck. She was very conscious of the bangle and the ring too that she could hardly take her eyes off them.She didn't want to wear the jewellery but the pout on Lucas' face was enough to change her mind. He was persistent and adamant and so she couldn't refuse.Maybe she should've especially now that she stood before Alex who had his jaw hanging loose in shock and disbelief. His reaction made her uncomfortable and even nervous.Wasn't the gown good enough or was the jewellery too inappropriate for the occasion? His silence was putting a strain on her and she wished he'd say something at this point."I-I don't know what to say," Alex finally clamped his jaw and chose to use his words instead. He cleared his threat as he looked around, noticing the number of people who stole glances at Evelyn as they walked in.He saw what they saw too. He should at least try to restrain himself. She was already looking so uneasy."Forgive me, Evelyn. I was just stunned. You
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 28 Throw Her Out
Evelyn squeezed her fist, fuming with so much anger. Why did she have to bump into her of all times and of all places?Was she following her? That was the only reasonable explanation now."What do you mean? Do we even live in the same house anymore?" Evelyn glared. She was sick and tired of Olivia trying to ruin her name everywhere.It was getting old and burdensome. Why couldn't she just grow up and stop trying to get under her skin?"But you came over the other day, didn't you?" Olivia continued to accuse her with an unwavering face. "How would you get the necklace if you didn't steal it from me?"The gazes of some of the women were on Evelyn and it wasn't for anything good. They sized her up with contempt, thinking she was out of place. Stolen necklace or fake jewelries, they were disgusted with both!"I knew you were petty but how can you be so shameless as to lie against me in such a place," Evelyn said before touching her necklace. "My husband gifted this to me but if you're sti

“ My father has always been a powerful man and my mother? Well, she was just a woman who had nothing but love for her only son,” he chuckled with a fondness that made Evelyn's heart sink.Despite the fact that he was speaking before millions of people - with the press capturing his every word– Evelyn knew who he was really talking to.Details of his past that she never thought he would visit were being told here and now and all for her.“ Death stole her from me. My father remarried. Our relationship turned sour, step siblings were born, and well… attention was divided. I was cut off from the family business and, well, decided to start my own company.”“Away from my father's name, I took on my mother's– a sign that her blessings will continue to be with me. I got married - a contracted marriage and… man!” He sighed heavily.“ The loveliest woman I've ever come across. A heart of gold, a smile full of warmth that actually warmed up this heart I used to think had turned into stone.”The

“ Goodness me!” Morticia exclaimed as she walked into the hall with her husband, Mr. Graham by her side as well as her children.It wasn't just the gold floors or the bright fancy chandelier of the mansion, the decorations looked out of this world.“ I've never seen anything like it!” Liam, the second son of Graham had his jaw hanging loose.Morticia couldn't tell her son to control himself this time around because she too couldn't stop gawking at the place. The other guests were dumbfounded too as everyone tried to be on their best behaviour.The Graham's said their greetings to some distinguished guests and soon hurled to one side, ogling the place.“ When is this going to start?” Mr. Graham groans. “It's been over an hour now.”The place was packed with guests and a few people from the press waiting to capture the event and the face behind the successful company.“ Maybe everyone's not here yet,” Morticia shrugged but who wouldn't come early for an event like this?Mr. Graham scoff

TWO WEEKS LATERShe mixed the floor in the pan and poured the eggs, stirring it with a small smile on her face as she hummed to a song she couldn't even remember.Evelyn lifted her head when she heard footsteps rushing to her and she smiled when Peter rushed in holding a drawing book.“Look, I drew it!” he cheered, all excited and proud of himself.It was supposed to be a chicken… well if you looked at it somehow, it could be a chicken. Nevertheless, she rubbed his head and smiled at him.“You did good. You should draw more often,” she encouraged. It was a different feeling seeing him in normal clothes and outside the hospital. Her joy knew no bounds and it filled her heart.He grinned, “Yes, yes, I wanna be an artist. I'll draw something else. What are you making?”She turned to the dough and shrugged, “I'm craving doughnuts.”He almost narrowed his eyes, “ You've been having lots of cravings these days. I didn't know you were a foodie.”,She scowled and scoffed.“Add some for me,” h

"When last did we share a drink?" Andrew wondered as he looked to the other two were sprawled on the booth in the private room.There were over ten drinks on the table and neither of them seemed like they wanted to stop any time soon.Eric owned the place so he could very well pass the night and he wouldn't mind if they did too but Lucas? He was fucking married."It's past 10p.m. Why are you here again?" He asked Lucas who narrowed his eyes at him.Lucas didn't know what to say to that. He was confused and didn't know what to think.So last night he texted Evelyn that he would be working overtime which was true because he had some files to look at. He got home early by 3a.m in the morning and he joined her in bed after a shower. They kissed and they even had sex.The next morning, he woke up alone in bed which was normal and alright. When he got to work, his assistant informed him that Evelyn had taken a sick leave.According to him, she got to work, felt sick and went back home." We

"Here's a full report on how our stocks dropped my 3%"Mr. Williams sighed as he rubbed his temples. His head was throbbing and he could use a break right about now. It was already 7p.m but he had to stay at the company and have this meeting with his staff.There was a commotion outside and everyone turned their eyes to the door. A woman barged into the meeting and when she walked forward, Mr. Williams was sitting upright."Evelyn?" He asked in shock. What was she doing here?"What is the meaning of this-""Is it true?" She barked, ignoring the fact that this was a company. She was seething with so much anger and the look in her eyes was fierce and terrifying."Don't be such a mad woman, Evelyn. Whatever it is, we can discuss it at home-""I asked if it's fucking true! What happened to my mother, is it fucking true!" She screamed at the top of her voice, ignoring the presence of everyone else.The hall was silent as everyone waited for the CEO to speak. They were dumbfounded by the sh
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 78 Her confession
ONE WEEK LATEREvelyn grabbed her bags from her desk once it was time to leave the office. She rolled her shoulders as she walked down the road and stopped by a coffeeshop to get some pastries.For the last week, her life had been full of ups and downs, from one drama to the other.“Thank you, come again!” the attendant said with glee and she smiled back politely.She sipped from her hot tea as she walked down the road in the cold with a small bag of pastries in her other hand.She was in no rush to go home. Her first stop was the hospital. She needed to visit Peter as she had been doing every morning and evening before and after work.He was always eager for her visit.She should hail down a cab but for some reasons, she felt like walking. A long stroll to ease her mind from all the chaos she had gone through these past few weeks.Diana was still in jail, no chance of getting out. From what she heard from the warder, she was going through a lot. Her cell mate was a big bully.Evelyn
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 77 Mental Asylums
"Insanity?" Evelyn scoffed, refusing to believe her ears. "They are pleading insanity? Oh no way! She wasn't insane when she did that! She was fine and in her fucking right mind!"Olivia's lawyer thought it was best to say his client was mentally unstable and Evelyn knew what that meant.She would escape jail time if he managed to convince the judge."I've known Olivia for years and I can tell you that she's never been to a psychiatrist all her life. You have to believe me, Lucas." She pleaded, feeling frustrated already.She paced the floors of the courthouse, chewing nervously at her nails. "She's not mad! She can't get away with this so easily.""Calm down, Evelyn. I'm sure there's a way to go about this," Lucas hoped yet he sounded so sure, Evelyn almost started to relax.Why did it seem like he had everything figured out?She didn't want Olivia escaping jail. That was totally unfair.Even after all the evidence they brought up on her kidnapping Peter, they were going to rule her
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 76 Calling in Favours
It didn't take long before Evelyn tracked down Olivia's car by tapping into the camera's on the street she drove through. Her hands moved so fast the same way her heart pounded.She couldn't be even a second slow. The pressure was choking her but she managed to remain calm.Lucas noticed the pressure she had around her and he clenched his fist, wishing he could have handled this with his connections but she was faster, of course and more skilled.“We should leave now,” Evelyn announced. “They are headed for a dead end. If we leave now, we can leave before anything happens.” She gulped, already thinking of the worst.The policemen dashed out with Evelyn and Lucas behind them. They got into their separate cars and drove down to the address Evelyn had given.The place was an old warehouse at the outskirts of town. It was dark and spooky. Evelyn could already imagine how terrified Peter would be in the arms of that maniac.“We have the place surrounded. You two stay here and don't move a

Evelyn dropped the groceries on the table, humming in delight as she moved back and forth in the kitchen. She was enjoying her leave, thinking of her bosses generosity, the trial and pretty much everything that had happened these past few days.Peter was doing well. She could see it in the way he moved and how jovial he was. Things were finally starting to fall into place.She glanced at the clock and figured it would still be another two hours before Lucas got off work. She could make it just in time by cooking something good-She heard a car pull into the driveway and she froze. She quickly wiped her hands when she heard the car door shut and as she stepped into the living room, Lucas was opening the door.His face was in a big smile when he held her gaze."Hello you," he said, making her heart take a flip with butterflies in her belly as he approached her with a bottle of wine in his hands."Uhm… hey," she responded in a daze. He pulled her into a hug, kissing her on the cheek."Wh
