Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 32: Ride with the Billionaire
The next day, when I woke up, I was surprised when Daddy and Mommy were at home, even though it was a little late. Usually they are not at home before seven a.m. "Good morning, sweetie!" Daddy greeted me. He was on the veranda of the house as he watched Mommy quietly watering her plants in the garden. "Morning, Dad!" I say hello back. I looked at Mommy and saw her looking at us, and she waved, so I just waved back at her while smiling. "Are you ready?" Daddy asked me. I frowned, then stood there properly before speaking. "Ready for what?" I ask. I have work today, but I will go to my office later because I will visit a site not far from our city. "The press conference will be held later. I didn't tell you right away last night," said Daddy. My eyes widened in shock. I knew Daddy had called for a press conference, but I didn't know it was right now. "As in today?" I asked, still in disbelief. "Yeah, and I think you're always ready, hijah. I can't spend the day anymore, so I
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 33: Lovers
I quietly got into Cristiano's car. He was even going to come out earlier to open for me, but I had already preceded them. "I'll take care of her," Cristiano said before we finally left there. I don't know if I'll be happy to see him where I am. I took a deep breath and put on my seatbelt. "You should always check your car first before using it," said Cristiano. I looked at him while he was looking straight at the road. I took a sip before speaking. "I checked it earlier, and it was fine before I used it," I answered. "Well, that's good, but we can't really avoid getting damaged by a car," he said, making me nod. I didn't say anything and just kept quiet, but he spoke again. "How are you? I heard from my brothers that the media messed with you outside the other day," he said to me. "Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Good thing I have bodyguards," I replied to him. "What they did to you was terrible. Besides, you have bashers," he said, then laughed softly. I didn't know if
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 34: His Secret Relationship?
"You guys should stop saying that. Cristiano and I are not," I clarified to them.I only had a quick make-up done there, and I wore simple clothes. Mommy is not in the room where I am, and I know that until now she and Cristiano were still together outside. I want to know what they're talking about, so I'm anxious to get out there, even though I'm not sure I'll know what it is.A few moments later, Janeth came to call me because the press conference was about to start. When I heard that, I started to get nervous because it was my first time. As far as I know, it doesn't last long, so that's all I'm holding on to. As long as I clear my name, that's fine with me.I went out of the room and found Mommy there, who was no longer with Cristiano, so I slightly opened my eyes to look for him, only to find that Mommy immediately asked me."Are you ready?" Mommy asked me.She looked at me and saw what I was wearing. I took a deep breath so Mommy wouldn't notice that I was nervous before answeri
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 35: Single
I was still nervous even though the interview was about to end, especially when it was about my love life with Cristiano. There is a part of me that wants us to ask about that because even I am curious about his love life. "Are you single now, Mr. Cristiano?" asked an interviewer there. I kept looking at them in front of me and preparing myself for the audible answer from Cristiano. I also smiled when I remembered what Liam and Lucas told me—that they had been with his girlfriend for a long time. I'm sure they know the girl, and they just don't want to introduce her to me because they still think I still like Cristiano to this day. "Yes," Cristiano answered sparingly. The smile on my lips gradually disappeared when I heard that from him; that's why I looked at him in surprise because he mentioned to me earlier that he has a girlfriend. When he saw my reaction, he also looked at me with a frown. My eyes widened slightly, and I immediately looked away from him. "But you had a girlf
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 36: Liam's Confession
It took a while to get there, so I quietly continued eating there. "It's alright, Hijo. You're not forced to tell your story. I'm just curious!" Mommy laughed and said. "No, Tita. It's fine. I'm about to share that with Mom and Dad," Cristiano replied. "Yeah, we don't know the reason either. They're also our family, Cristiano, so maybe it's fine if they find out, right?" Aunt Lisette said one after the other. I took a deep breath and put down my fork before speaking. "No. I'm sorry, Tita, but I don't agree with that. It's fine, Cristiano. We don't need to hear that. It's your right to have privacy. I interrupted the conversation there. "Yes, Lily is right. Maybe it's up to you and the family if you're not comfortable with us hearing that," Sabrina added. I nodded and breathed a sigh of relief because she helped me there. "It's okay, Lily and Sabrina. Thanks for that, but yeah, I can also share it with you. You're family to me," answered Cristiano. I nodded and just shrugged m
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 37: Traitor?
I went outside of that room. We're upstairs, so I can't come down right away. I just walked quickly there, even though I didn't know where I was going. My feet took me to the outdoor restaurant in that hotel. No one eats much there because it's too windy and cold. The strong wind hit my face, and I savored the fresh air while closing my eyes. As time goes on, I feel that my life is becoming more complicated. First, I had a one-night stand with Cristiano without knowing that he was the older brother of one of my best friends; second, Mr. Reyes and I even had an issue with the fact that I was his mistress. Now it was Liam who suddenly confessed to me in front of our parents. I stayed there for a while with my eyes closed and thought about what I should fix first. I saw that Liam was sincere in what he said earlier. I didn't know that since we've been friends for so long, he has developed more feelings for me. I couldn't believe it because, since we were children, we treated each other
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 38: Wine of Coffee?
To this day, I still can't believe what Cristiano said. I feel like it's just a dream to have someone like him tell you that you're beautiful. I don't know if it's right for me to be thrilled with him at those points because of the number of problems I have. "Maybe Liam just got used to me being with him all the time. He was just shocked," I said. I'm ashamed now, especially when I remember how Liam confessed in front of our parents and how I ran away from him earlier in front of Cristiano because I didn't know what my answer would be. I was also shocked by the events. Cristiano laughed a little again, so I looked at him with a frown. I also looked at how he drives effortlessly while just chilling, leaning on the driver's seat, and looking straight at the road. He shook his head before speaking. "My two brothers are fighting because of you. Did Lucas also confess to you?" he asked. I quickly shook my head because I was confident that no matter what happened, Lucas would never lik
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 39: At the Balcony
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that there was still a bottle of Chateau Margaux wine there. I remembered that it was a gift from Marcus, and I really didn't drink it because it was quite expensive. Now I can open it and drink it because it would be a shame if I had a Christianous Smith drink ordinary wine. "You saved me tonight," I whispered into the wine. Feeling so relieved, I hugged it, but when I remembered that Cristiano was with me in the condo, my heart started pounding again. I took a deep breath before taking two wine glasses from there and returning to the living room, where I left Cristiano. When I saw Cristiano sitting quietly on the sofa where I left him earlier, I felt my cheeks heat up. His back was leaning there while one of his thighs rested on his knee. He wasn't doing anything else there, and it was as if he were just bent over, as if he were deep in thought. "I'm sorry. Did I take too long?" I asked him. I don't even know what to say to break our silen

CRISTIANO'S POV."You should come to the event, Cristianous. Your brothers are expecting you tonight." It was my mom who's forcing me to come to the Scott Family event.I finished the whiskey I was drinking before I sighed and answered Mama."Alright. See you later."I know Mama is very happy because I agreed to join them at that event because I haven't been with them for a long time. She has requested me several times, and even once I did not accept her invitation. Maybe it's time. It's time to show up for them again."So, you're coming home to Manila to attend the event?" Andrew asked me, who had been by my side for a while.I nodded as I answered him, then poured whiskey into my glass again."Well, that's good. It's only right that you go home to be with your family," he told me.Andrew is also right. Now that I'm with him and I've trained him in my jobs, he's the one who rarely has meetings with my clients. He also sometimes takes care of my other businesses when I'm busy, so I ha
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 75: Reunited
Cristiano and I returned to Manila, and Sabrina was very happy when she found out that we had returned with my memory. I don't know how I should feel now because, since I can remember, I've been sadder. I was sad because I feel like Mom and Dad died just yesterday.I looked at the wide garden of our house while our maids were busy arranging the long, big table in the middle. It was noisy there because of the shouting and laughter of Sabrina's three children. My two arms were crossed over my chest while standing in front, and I couldn't help but smile because of my nieces and nephews.Sabrina is preparing here at our old house for my homecoming. I don't know why she had to prepare such a dinner, even though we could have eaten outside."Lily."I looked at Cristiano, who stood next to me. He was wearing long white sleeves and black pants. I glanced at him because it looked like he meant to wear that so that what he was wearing would match the white mini dress I was wearing."Are you all
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 74: Accident
FLASHBACK!I wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks and took a deep breath to regain my courage. So much happened, and until now, it's still hard for me to sink it into my mind.The night Cristiano was shot, I thought I would never see him alive again. I thought he would never hear from me that I had forgiven him for all the sins he committed in our past. I thought I would lose him forever.Everything I thought of for Cristiano went to someone else because Mommy disappeared that night. She died because of the ambush that happened in our house while celebrating my father's birthday. I blame everything on me because if I had not returned to the Philippines, that incident would not have happened. I hope Mommy is still alive, and I hope Dad didn't get sick because of Mommy's loss.I'm sitting in front of Mom and Daddy's grave today, and I can't believe that the two most important people in my life are gone."I'm sorry if I failed to give you a grandchild from me," I said, holding Dad's g
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 73: Amnesia
And lastly, I thought I would finally have freedom and happiness in my life. I thought I wouldn't be miserable anymore, and I wouldn't feel any sadness, but I was wrong. I thought wrong.It's hard to wake up every day, and you don't remember anything, and you don't even recognize yourself. I don't know how it happened, but I just woke up one morning feeling like everything had changed. I just woke up one day, and I don't remember anything.I was sweating profusely while walking down the long stairs. I feel a pain in my stomach, and I can't explain how much it hurts. Until I looked at my thigh, and I saw a lot of blood coming out there. At the same time as the blood dripped on my thigh, my tears also fell."Lily! Lily!" a cold baritone made my eyes open.I almost took a deep breath when I finally woke up. I felt my hands trembling, and because of the fear I felt, I immediately covered my face. My tears flowed because I still felt the fear and pain in my heart."Lily, it's just a dream.
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 72: He Saved Me
In the moments that I wait for Cristiano's arrival, I fight against my sleepiness and fatigue. I haven't had much of a break yet because that was also the day I returned home from America. My nervousness and fear prevailed so much that no matter how heavy my eyelids were, I could not close them. More than half an hour has passed, and I'm sure Cristiano is close. I stood up from my seat and looked out the window again. The men guarding there still didn't leave, so I just held my breath. Aren't they tired or sleepy? I just shook my head, and I was in agony. I just hope Cristiano brought enough men because Mike has too many men. I was standing there for a while when I felt the watch in my pocket vibrate, so I quickly took it out to look at it. Cristiano was calling, so I didn't take too long to answer because of the nervousness I was feeling earlier. "We're here. The house has three floors. What floor are you on?" Cristiano asked me immediately. "Second floor," I answered. "Alright.

"We've been separated for a long time since our baby was lost. So, why don't you want to let me go?" I asked him. There was a tear in the corner of my eye, but I immediately looked up to stop the tears from flowing. I told myself that I would never cry in front of him again. "I-I don't want us to separate. Forgive me, Lily. I will accept everything; just don't divorce me," he answered me, and his hug tightened even more. I got out of his arms to get him away from hugging me, but he was too strong for me. "Leave me alone," I told him. I felt him take a deep breath before he completely separated me from the embrace, but my eyes widened at what he did next. "W-What are you doing?" I stammered to him. I looked around us, and I was very thankful because there was no one there. He knelt down and held my hand. "Don't leave me. Please." His voice broke as he reached for my hands to hold them. I had to bend down to look at him and straighten him up from kneeling, but he didn't move, j
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 70: He's Begging
[After Flashback: Continuation of Chapter 8] *** "I-I'm so sorry to hear that, Lily. If only I knew what you went through," Liam told me. I wiped my tears and immediately drank the wine in front of me. I never thought that in a few years I would cry again. That made it very difficult for me to move on. After I asked Sabrina to help me take me to another country without anyone knowing, I started to forget everything that happened, but I still can't help but remember it sometimes. "What Cristiano did to you was wrong, but have you forgiven him yet? Are you ready to face him again?" Liam asked me. I laughed and shook my head because I could really face Cristiano. I really feel a little scared because I don't know how we will both react when we meet again. The only thing I want right now is to divorce our marriage, which is why I can't help but get angry every time he just throws away the papers I send him. Liam and I had a good conversation because I was able to explain to him eve
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 69: Miscarriage
No one can say how much pain I feel right now. I just lost my child, and that's because Cristiano hurt me. I blame myself because if I hadn't fought him, I hope it wouldn't have happened. If only I had stayed in that room and made him hurt me. I was just stupid while sitting in the hospital bed. I've been crying there for a while now, and occasionally I'll stop when I get tired. I can't accept what happened. I can't accept that the child I was waiting for disappeared in an instant. I have never even touched her or seen her, and I will never see her as a woman with me. "Eat this so you can get some strength. I called Sabrina," said Cristiano. He never left my side, even though I pushed him away several times. I cried even more because I remembered our parents and siblings, who were very anxious for the arrival of my future child, but that will never happen. I have no appetite at all. I don't want to see Cristiano because I just remembered falling down the stairs. I'm afraid that he
Billionaire's Unwanted Wife: English Chapter 68: Blood
"Why are you returning the words that should be yours to me? You're the one who's cheating here and not me!" I added to him. He is really the one who is cheating on both of us, not me. He returned to his ex; he was seeing her secretly. Francine's husband and I are being cheated on. "So, you're recovering? You're doing this to shame me?! Your face is thick! I only married you because I was shocked and because of the child you're carrying! I agree to marry a girl, but nothing like you!" he continued. I wiped my tears and shook my head at what he was saying. There is no truth in that because cheating is something I can never do because I know how it feels. "I'm not taking it back. I'm not fooling you-" "Stop lying!" he shouted because I stopped talking. "You know Liam likes you; that's why you're going out with him! I wish you'd just marry him! You were a bit shy at first, but you like him too!" he said to me one after the other. I almost caught my breath from crying there. I shoo
