Forced To be Mrs. Billionaire XXXII
I can now become an actress. I'm excellent at acting—making everything seem fine, making my relationship with Yohan appear perfect. We had a quarrel after I spent the night at Franklyn's condo unit. I had already expected it because Yohan hates it when his ego is bruised. He doesn't love me, yet at the same time, he doesn't want to see me with someone else. He's angry with me for staying at Franklyn's condo? What business is it of his?! He didn’t even bother to message me that he wouldn’t be coming home that night, leaving me worried sick about him.Today marks the grand opening of the new Warren Empire Hotel, an event attended by numerous guests from the business world. The new model representing Warren Hotel will also be introduced, someone who will serve as the face of Warren Hotels and Casinos. I have no idea who this model is because I didn’t attend the meeting—my resentment toward Yohan kept me away at the time.I’ve been avoiding Yohan for days, refusing to talk to him even whe

Now, I fully understand why Daddy refuses to let go of Yohan and insists on our marriage. Yohan is one of the wealthiest businessmen in the U.S., admired by many, especially as the sole heir to his family's vast empire. With his parents long gone, he controls their numerous businesses. He excels at negotiation and manipulation, having outmaneuvered countless business rivals. No one has managed to defeat him—most businessmen simply choose to partner with him rather than go against him.So now, I’ve decided to play the same game my husband is playing.If he uses me? I’ll use him too.He’s a valuable asset to our company, and I’ll follow my father’s instructions because he knows what’s best—and our business means everything to him. I might get hurt, but I won’t let Yohan see it. I won’t let him enjoy my pain.I’m sure he’d find it amusing if he did."A lovely evening, everyone!"The event has begun. Yohan and I are seated at the front table, side by side, as a married couple. I don’t wan

"Are you sure this is Zion Warren's wife? We can't afford to make the same damn mistake again.""Yes, Boss! I double-checked the photo you gave me before grabbing her by the swing. I was lucky to spot her outside the hotel—I saw her coming out through the fire exit!"I jolted awake at the sound of their voices. What happened? Why does my head hurt? I tried to open my eyes, but darkness surrounded me. Why can't I see anything?"Oh no, Boss! It looks like Zion Warren's wife is waking up!"‘Wait... how do they know my husband?’ My heart pounded in my chest. Where am I?I tried to move my legs, but they wouldn’t budge. It felt like they were tied down, restricting any movement. My mouth, too, was sealed shut, a thick layer of tape preventing any attempt at speaking or screaming."Big Boss is on his way. Damn it, if this woman isn't Warren's wife, we're screwed—again!""Relax, Boss! I’m telling you, that’s Zion Warren’s wife. Her name is Cosette."A chill ran down my spine as one of them s

"M-Mister, please let me go," I weakly pleaded when the man who had kidnapped me entered the room.He carried a glass of water, and I couldn't help but feel a desperate thirst. My body was weak, and it had been a long time since I had a sip of water. As he approached, he pressed the glass to my lips. I drank eagerly, finishing every drop to quench my parched throat. Tears welled up in my eyes. I never thought I would experience being kidnapped—I had only seen it happen in movies. But now, I was living through the nightmare myself."Be thankful we have some mercy on you. You've been crying since earlier!" the man scoffed. "Sorry, but all we can give you is water. We don’t have the budget for your food, so just endure it."I couldn't stop my tears from falling. With a trembling voice, I pleaded once more, "Mister, please, listen to me. I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m just caught up in this mess."The man avoided my gaze, taking a step back before turning away."Shut up! I won’t pity

"H-How did you get here? Why does it seem like you weren’t shot? How did you manage to free yourself so quickly? And how did you come here alone?" I bombarded him with questions as he helped me stand.Yohan shot me a sharp look, annoyance flickering in his eyes."Seriously, Cosette? You're asking me that now when we only have a few minutes to escape? Can’t I just answer all of that later—when we’re already out of here?" he said irritably.I clamped my mouth shut, afraid that pressing him further would only make him angrier. I wasn’t trying to be difficult—I just wanted answers. But as always, his stubbornness got in the way."Hey, listen..."I looked up when Yohan gently lifted my chin, his expression softening."I’m not mad at you, okay? I’ll answer all your questions, but not now. We need to get out of here before Parker catches us," he said seriously.I swallowed hard and nodded. Yohan gave me a faint smile, his hand brushing against my cheek.Our moment was abruptly cut short when

"Are you involved with the mafia?"Yohan froze, his hand pausing mid-motion as he applied ointment to my knee. We were in our room, and this was the first time I had a chance to talk to him. Earlier, there had been another man with us in the car on our way home. I couldn’t understand their conversation, so I decided to sleep. By the time I woke up, we were already home.Now, I sat on the bed, pressing a cold compress to the bruises on my face—bruises left by Uncle’s repeated slaps. My face was battered, and if anyone saw me like this, they might assume Yohan was responsible. I didn’t want rumors spreading, so I had already decided to take two weeks off work to rest and regain my strength."Why are you asking me that, Cosette?" Yohan smirked, resuming his task. "I’m not part of any mafia group."Silence settled between us again. I watched him carefully. His expression was serious as he tended to my wounds, and I had the distinct feeling that he wanted to tell me something but couldn’t

Early in the morning, I was surprised. For my safety, I agreed with Yohan that I should have bodyguards. For now, I'll take a break, stay home, avoid going out, and refrain from working for a while."Is your stomach hurting? Is that why you left the event so suddenly, Setta?"I almost spit out the juice I was drinking when my sister, Geneva, asked that. She had visited me in my office at Warren Empire, saying she had good news to share. I'm happy for my sister because Dad finally agreed to let her continue her studies in fashion design. Geneva went through a lot of struggles before Dad finally gave in and allowed her to pursue her dream.I'm genuinely happy for her, especially since I can see that she truly loves her husband.Geneva was extremely worried about me, wondering why I had suddenly disappeared from our event at the new Warren Empire hotel. I still remember that night when I saw Geneva and Sylvie in the hall. I told them I was going to the restroom, but I never returned beca

"How are you and Zion, Cosette?"I paused mid-bite when Dad asked me that. I was visiting my parents since it had been a while since I last came over, and I missed both Mommy and Daddy. They still didn't know what had happened to me, and I had no intention of telling them—I didn’t want to add to their worries.I forced a faint smile and answered, "We're good, Dad. On Monday, we're going to Spain. His cousin is getting married, and he wants me to go with him."Dad nodded and continued eating. I glanced at Mom, who was already looking at me. We exchanged smiles.After dinner, Dad asked me to follow him to his office. He looked deep in thought, his usual serious expression even more intense than usual. Once inside, he turned to face me with an unreadable look."Zion has already signed the partnership contract between Allen Company and Warren Empire. I'm confident that by next month, we'll be leading in the rankings, and more investors will follow," Dad said, his tone businesslike.I wasn

Yohan's POV"Aunt Lenore, where are you? I'm already here inside the mall, and I can't find you. I still have a meeting to attend.""Son, didn't I tell you I'm in the salon area? Near the food court. I'm still relaxing here and chatting with my friend. I just have something to give you, and you can go to your meeting. You'll see me right away because there are only two customers in the salon since I rented it for me and my friend."I sighed and ended the call between Aunt Lenore and me. I started walking towards the food court area she mentioned. It took me a while to walk because there were too many people in the mall today, and an old person was walking in front of me. I couldn't overtake them because the people were packed tightly on the first floor of the mall. Why are there so many people here? Is this how it is inside a mall? I never go to these kinds of places because I don't need anything here.Why did Aunt Lenore choose to have her hair done at the mall? We have salons in our

Cosette’s POV"We need to go shopping, Setta! Right, Johiel?" Franklyn said with a smile as he also asked my son."Yes, Papa Franklyn!" Johiel replied enthusiastically, jumping up and down.I sighed and looked at Iris, silently asking for her help. She sniffed and spoke to her husband."Love, you don't need to take Johiel with you. He can stay here with me at home," Iris said softly to Franklyn as she sat on the couch, gently caressing her big belly.Franklyn grinned sheepishly and couldn't utter a word."Mama Iris! I want to go to the mall!" Johiel said tearfully as he approached his Mama Iris and held her hand.Iris glanced at me, as if asking me what she should say or do. I rubbed my forehead and took a deep breath while looking at Johiel, who was now approaching me and hugging my waist, looking up at me. "Mommy, can we go to the mall, please?" Johiel said, trying to be cute."Just let him go, Setta!" I heard Franklyn say, so I glanced at him and gave him a stern look. He just gri

Cosette’s POVMama was very happy when I told her that Johiel and I are going home to Los Angeles. She mentioned again about our old house, which is now under Yohan's name. I didn't have any plans to visit Yohan and negotiate to have our house back and rename it to Allen again. But just to calm my mother down, I told her that I would try, though I wasn't sure, she's just so persistent."Mommy Cosette, when we're in Los Angeles, are we going to visit Otto?" Johiel asked me.We're on the plane now, and on the other side of our seats are the couple Iris and Franklyn. They're both asleep, so Johiel and I are talking quietly to avoid waking them up.I ran my fingers through Johiel's hair and smiled at him before answering his question."Let's rest first, Pretty boy, then tomorrow we'll visit your cousins and Aunt Geneva, okay?"He nodded and leaned on me. "Mommy, I'll sleep," he said softly, closing his eyes. I let him sleep while he leaned against my chest. I also closed my eyes as I gent

Cosette’s POV"You're telling me that you're going back to Los Angeles and you're taking Johiel with you? No!" Franklyn said, standing in front of me with a furrowed brow.I frowned at Franklyn's words. He and Iris came to my house for a visit and they're going to stay here overnight. Franklyn has a conference meeting nearby, so they decided to stay at my place instead of renting a hotel."Love, Cosette needs to go back to Los Angeles because that's where she's assigned for work," Iris said before I could speak.I glanced at her and she winked at me. Iris is six months pregnant with their first baby, and her belly is already quite large.Franklyn took a deep breath and calmed himself before speaking again, as Iris is sensitive right now and he didn't want to raise his voice in front of her."I understand that, Love, but what if Zion finds out the truth? He'll take Johiel from Cosette! We know what kind of man he is, he has no mercy," Franklyn said.Fortunately, Johiel is asleep now be

Cosette’s POV"Setta, you know that the house isn't in our name anymore, right? Your ex-husband already acquired all our properties."I rubbed my temples as I spoke to Mama on the phone. When Johiel and I got home from work, I immediately called Mama because I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease about her visit, and upon learning her purpose, I couldn't help but feel troubled."Ma, you could buy new properties in Los Angeles if you really want to go back there. You could also ask for help from Gene, or maybe you could just stay with them for a while," I suggested to her.I heard her sigh on the other end of the line. "Setta, our house holds many memories of us. I can't just let that go again," Mom said on the other line.I closed my eyes."Ma! You know that it's not ours anymore, right? I thought you had moved on and wanted to stay in Finland?" I said to her."I have moved on from the pain, Cosette, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten our life together with your father. I want o

Yohan's POV"She has panic attacks again, Zion."I stiffened, glancing at Claudia who was currently asleep in her bed. She's being checked on by her private doctor and nurses. Claudia lost control of herself earlier and almost hurt herself again, but thankfully, Aunt Lenore caught her in time and stopped her from doing anything rash. Aunt Lenore called me quickly, so I hurried over to the house where Claudia is staying."You can't just leave her alone, Zion! Don't you have any pity for her? It's been five years since she woke up from seven years in a coma, but Claudia is still suffering. She's your fiancée!"I couldn't help but bristle at what Aunt Lenore said, but I restrained myself."She was my fiancée, Aunt, not anymore. Claudia and I are no longer together; I'm just doing this out of guilt for what happened to her...because it's my fault that she's like this," I said to her.Five years ago, Claudia finally woke up from the seven-year coma. I was ecstatic at the time because she w

Cosette’s POVHerbert smiled and slightly bowed, greeting me, and I greeted him back."He's also from LA like you, so that's why I called you because I want you to assist him in his new workplace and be his tour guide for a while in the company," our Editor-in-chief, Mr. Nunes, said.I was slightly surprised and looked at Herbert again. He just smiled at me and waved slightly."Okay, Sir."Sir Nunes reminded Herbert of a few things before we left his office."Wow! I can't believe I have a fellow American colleague now, I'm happy," we both said as we left our editor-in-chief's office.Herbert smiled at me, scratching his head slightly. I could see he's shy and not much of a talker. It seems like I'll have a hard time talking to him even though we're both American. "Is that how you really are?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow.His eyes widened as if he had done something wrong to me. "H-Huh? What do you mean?" he asked, stuttering.I couldn't help but laugh. I shook my head and started

Cosette’s POVI'm outside my house right now, facing my laptop while I'm working. Our company allows us to work from home sometimes, and I'm working from home today. While I'm working here outside my house, I can't help but look at the scenery because I can see the mountain I used to hike with my Swiss friends. I haven't been able to hike recently because I'm busy with my job.I paused from my work when I heard my phone ring. I couldn't help but feel excited and eager when I saw who was calling. I quickly answered it and leaned back in my chair. Ah, my angel is calling me."Mommy Cosette!" he exclaimed from the other line as I answered his call.I chuckled softly and replied, "Yes, pretty boy? I missed you! When are you coming home?""I don't know, Mommy Cosette! But Papa Franklyn said we would visit you there on the weekend," he replied from the other line.I closed my eyes and hugged myself while talking to him on the other line. "I miss you so much, Baby. I wish you were with me,"

Yohan’s POV"Sir, Mrs. Cosette has already left, and she's on the plane heading to Switzerland."I closed my eyes and sighed deeply as my secretary delivered the news. I gestured for her to leave my office, and as I heard the door shut, I opened my eyes again, staring blankly.Because of my eagerness to fulfill my revenge plan that I had been plotting for a long time, I lost the person who made me feel complete again. I lost my wife and our angel because of my stupidity. This is the first time I have felt this pain again in my whole life. The last time I felt this pain was when my parents died. I never thought I would fall for the daughter of my enemy, the daughter of the one who betrayed my parents.I took a
