Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 63 An Idea
On their way home, Lucas and Evelyn were silent throughout the drive. Their thoughts were all over the place for different things.Evelyn was wallowing in self loathe as she felt responsible for her sister's properties that Olivia had almost destroyed.Why was she so useless? She couldn't even bring herself to protect anything that belonged to her. It was devastating to think about and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't forgive herself or let go of the feeling.“That's my sister's house,” she said once they walked in through the front door. “We used to go there a lot for holiday to just get away from Diana and Olivia. It was our only means for escape.”“How could she… how could she try to destroy it? Jessica did nothing wrong to her when she was alive. She did nothing at all to those two, why do they hate us so much?”Lucas hugged her, holding her close to his chest as she sobbed in his arms. All the questions he wanted to ask were suddenly unimportant for now.Her wellbeing w
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 64 The Contract
Evelyn cracked her knuckles as she took her place before her computer again. She didn't want to do this but she couldn't stay away from the situation.She had really wanted to rely on Lucas and it felt nice to even have someone so supportive by her side but she had been responsible for herself too long to just relax in someone else's comfort.Besides, this was about her sister. She could handle this much.Going back once again on the promise to give up programming, she hacked into Olivia's computer again.Her heart was troubled and her mind was uneasy. Especially now that Olivia attacked her sister's property, she couldn't help thinking back on the photos of her sister's accident.Evelyn was suspicious. She copied the death certificate and the photo's, going through them all over again made her heart heavy and her eyes blurry.She wiped her tears and got sidetracked in her thoughts when the door suddenly burst open."Evelyn," Lucas called as he opened the door to reassure her that he

Lucas arrived at a bar with his heart heavy from what had happened at home with Evelyn. He couldn't shake out the feeling by just walking away so he decided to drink it off.Eric was by his side, quiet like he didn't exist. He knew something was wrong. Whenever Lucas called him out to drink, it meant too much was on his mind but it had been a while since they last drank together.Was it Evelyn this time? Did she manage to piss him off? He didn't think that was it.The man obviously liked her too much to be mad at her.When Lucas was on his fifth shot of tequila and was about to pour the sixth, Eric sighed and couldn't take the silence anymore."It feels like yesterday when you started your company," Eric chuckled. " How long are you gonna hold out in the world about who you are?""I don't know," Lucas sighed. "Maybe forever. Who cares anyway?"He was too gloomy and Eric knew he had to ease the tension. He talked more about their beginning together and how Lucas gave him hope when his
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 66 I'm Sorry
After Lucas walked out, she noticed a document on the floor. She wiped her tears and picked it up, her jaw hanging loose in shock when she saw it was the property deed.He had.. Really gone this far for her?She quickly looked around for her phone and sent him a text message, apologising first before offering to talk things out.She was pacing her room, biting her nails as she waited for his reply but thirty minutes later, it never came.Her tears kept pouring again. She felt guilty for being so stubborn. Why didn't she just listen to him? He only wanted to help.If he didn't care about her, he wouldn't have gotten himself involved in the first place.She decided to wait in the living room. Once he saw her texts, she knew he would come back. Strangely, she had an assurance that he would always come running whenever she asked for him. It made her smile and once again, her heart fluttered at the thought of him.Waiting for so long, her eyes grew heavy and she could no longer keep her ey
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 67 False Accusations
Evelyn woke up refreshed and ready for the day. She laid in bed for a few minutes, reminiscing on the feeling, smiling to herself. She was alone and in his room, only when she heard her alarm ring in her bedroom, did she jump out of bed to get ready for work.She arrived at the company early either way and it took a while to remember that she didn’t ask Lucas how he got the real certificate. It was too soon for him to get his hands on it. Did he use force?Shouldn't she call her father first and make sure he was okay and still alive? But she picked up her phone and decided to call her husband first."That's what you're worried about?" he chuckled. " It's okay, I didn't use any bad ways your mind cooked up, I promise."She nibbled on her bottom lip, wanting to believe him but finding it hard to. It was simply too soon and too fast. Everyone knew the fastest way to success was by wicked means.What if he got into trouble later on? Her heart couldn’t bear-"Evelyn, I can hear you thinkin
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 68 The search
Evelyn had watched the footage of the accident. She remembered it as clear as day. It was night time when her sister drove down the road just to give the car a little spin after storming out from a quarrel with Diana and Olivia.There was a red light but Jessica seemed to be having troubles with it. She couldn't stop the car and she ran into a truck.The testimony from the driver of the truck said the same too. It was as a result of her sister's failure to hit the brakes that caused the accident.The driver was let go and all charges dropped at once. They couldn't find any fault in him despite having run the red light too. In his defence, it was a lonely road and he passed the route a lot. There were not a lot of people there so he wasn't expecting anyone to have brake failure. Even if he had stopped, she would have run into him either way since her brakes weren't working.Evelyn was sure her program had no fault before sending it out. Yet when the tragedy struck, she could only blame
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 69 Evidence and Culprit
"Yes," Evelyn stepped forward, staring at the old woman who stood before them. "Do you know... Where he is?"Her lips turned down as she shook her head. "No, dear. I thought you were a relative or something. Been a while I heard someone mention his name and when I heard you were going around the neighborhood to ask, I had to come see for myself.""Patrick moved two years ago after the accident. That bastard man," she gritted her teeth. "He still owes me some money! I was hoping you knew something about him too. Please dear, once you find him, drag him by the ear and make him pay me my money.""S-Sure but... Can you tell me what you know about Patrick?" She asked further. "If he owed you money, how could he have moved?"The old woman scoffed, "It wasn't just me he owed some money, it was everyone! He was a begger who spent his money on nothing but gambling and drinks!""The man gambled a lot, after which he'd return home so drunk and beat up his wife and kids! The casino is just down t
Billionaire's Charming Wife Chapter 70 We've Found Him
Evelyn froze for a while, unsure of how to react. Her heart was pounding as she stared at the evidence. With this, she could reopen the case and send Diana to jail for having a hand in her sister's death.Hot tears rolled down her cheek."It wasn't a coincidence after all. It wasn't... My fault," she sobbed with a hand over her mouth but none of those things would bring her sister back.It was just unfortunate that her sister had to pay with her life the anger of both mother and daughter."I have to tell Lucas," she said and jumped to her feet in search of her phone when the door suddenly opened.Lucas barged in, " I found something.""Me too!" Evelyn blurted out.He paused and looked at her computer that was still open. "Evelyn, I thought I told you to get some rest."Guilty as charged, she looked away, "I-I couldn't." She hugged her arm, "But I found something really useful."He sighed and placed a kiss on her head before pulling her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him. He w

“ 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
