HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 29
THALIA“Frederick?” He only looked at me confusedly. The staff apologized and explained that the door of the storage room could only be open outside. As soon as she left, I hinted that maybe Aira knew that the door was jammed.I don't want to accuse her, but that's what I believed.Frederick and I were left alone in the hallway. His brows furrowed as he stared at me intently. What is he doing here? How did he even find me? Perhaps he heard me screaming for help.“What are you doing here in Russia?” He suddenly said sternly. “Who's with you?”He sometimes acts like my brother, aside from being clingy and forcing me to date him.“Ahmm… M-My boss–”“Thalia!” I flinched at Mr. Kane's voice, startled at his sudden appearance. “I've been looking for you everywhere.” His eyes were burning in rage as he glanced at Frederick. “But you're just here with someone unexpected.”Frederick scoffed annoyingly. “She was just locked in the storage room.”As soon as he heard Frederick’s words, he turne

THALIAMy eyes shut, and my thoughts went crazed as Mr. Kane completely devoured my mouth. Both of his hands clutch onto my cheeks, drawing me into his warm embrace.It's too warm… he's so warm… my insides are so damn warm.He gives me a kiss that I've never felt before— one of limited authority and mastered accuracy. I feel like driving him crazy because I know that all that vertigo has to go somewhere while I kiss him back as my inhibitions lose the battle. With a grip tight, I reached for his disheveled hair, afraid I'd topple over if I let go. We fought silently, lashing out at one other. It is an entirely new experience to kiss a man as wild as this. But I don't know why I'm letting him do this. It was as if I was hypnotized by his tender yet powerful burning touch. Excessively sexy and toxic to the extent that I was craving more. A kiss so intense that it feels as though one of us could pass away. I shouldn't be doing this with my boss, but if he stops, I might die from hung

THALIAEveryone had eyes on me while I was eating my macarons in the cafeteria. Maybe because the frown was plastered all over my face. I can even feel the dark aura lingering around me.It frustrates me the most that I don't have a day off today because we just arrived from Russia, and now… He's acting as if he has one day of amnesia. He's really a jerk! A total player! My first kiss!I angrily messed up my hair as I remembered how he unexpectedly stole my first kiss. It's too hot and intense as if I'm picturing the first kiss of Bella and Edward.My body starts to feel hotter as I keep seeing myself with Mr. Kane in a dark living room, passionately kissing and feeling each other's body.I sprinted to the comfort room to wash my face with cold water. Not in broad daylight, I'm thinking about explicit stuff.However, I bumped into someone. The documents he was carrying were scattered on the floor.I apologized and immediately helped him and gathered the papers. When he attempted to c

THALIALeander was sternly looking at us, switching between me and Mr. Kane, particularly to the hand of Mr. Kane in my arm. I don't know how he found us and why he is here in New York. Frederick and he are supposed to meet in Moscow today. I glare at Frederick, who might be the one who told my brother about my presence in Russia with Mr. Kane. I told him not to tell anyone!However, I was suddenly dragged by my brother inside the hotel while Frederick followed us with my luggage.I looked behind me to see Mr. Kane staring at us until the elevator door closed.My heart was pounding crazily while the silence inside the elevator remained until we reached the floor and entered a room. I can feel his rage while gazing at his back. It was evident in the way he heavily breathed as if controlling his rage inside.He never raised his voice on me. I know he was mad because I'm always with Mr. Kane or whatever Frederick made up a story he told my brother.I stood still on my feet at the door

THALIAI was baffled by Damon's words but at the same time, my heart was beating wildly inside my chest. I wet my dry throat as I remembered how our intense kiss occurred in Russia.My insides start to warm again.He looked away as he noticed my eyes locked on his. Why is he avoiding me if he really meant it?“But I'm too old for you.”His next words made me lose my words.Is that what he worries about the most?The eleven-year age gap was not that severe for both of us. As long as he's not as old as my dad or as older as him.“No, you're not.” I immediately said.He let out a deep breath as he scratched his temple. His eyes were on the steering wheel with a tight grip. He looks troubled at my response.My sweaty hands tightly grasp the strap of my handbag, nervous at what his next words will be. I'm not even sure why I'm nervous. Maybe he can find an acceptable reason which I hope he won't.With a heavy sigh, he abruptly unfastened his seatbelt. “I could be your uncle.”“You're not.

THALIAI was startled when the head of the financial department pulled me over in the corner. “What's taking you so long?” She hissed.“What–”Before I could ask what she meant, she dragged me to the back of the building where dozens of autobus lined up. What's going on?Employees lined up to enter the bus with their luggage. They were not wearing their usual office outfit. Are we going somewhere? Is the company going to close down, and we were transferred to another company?“Are we going somewhere?”“You didn't know?” Her brows furrowed as she looked at me from head to toe. “Yeah, it's obvious in your outfit.”“Where are we going, Ms. Kaye?”“Team building to all the employees of Kane Group. But only the main branch.”Why did no one tell me about this? I silently scoffed and just realized I didn't have friends here. Even Mr. Kane didn't tell me about this.I should have worn jeans rather than trousers and my heels added to my concern.“Oh! Mr. Kane is here.”I immediately looked a

THALIAMy soul left my body as soon as I saw Mr. Kane's half-naked body. I abruptly jerked off the bed but I almost tripped when my eyes caught my trouser pants on the couch, together with my coat.I shut my eyes firmly as I glance down. Thankfully, I'm wearing cycling shorts and I didn't take off my top.That would be more embarrassing.What the hell is he doing here? What does he mean I'm on his bed?I turned to him with a glare but regretted it and abruptly turned my back. He's still not wearing his clothes. Heat gushes in my face. For Christ! The white towel, wrapped around his hip, was the only cloth that covered the best part– What am I saying?I saw my room key on the floor and threw it to him behind me. “This is obviously my room!” He scoffed. “It's room 516.”“Yeah!” I'm not blind.“This is room 519.”“Yeah– what?” I confusedly gaze at him but close my eyes eventually. “S-So you're saying I don't know how to read numbers?”An unfamiliar ringtone resonated inside the room. I

THALIAEveryone at the table was taken aback at Mr. Kane's sudden appearance. He drank the beer in my glass and glared at Ms. Kaye, who now apologetically stood there, together with everyone.Mr. Kane didn't say a word and just pulled me away from them. He was silent but his face showed he was angry.Since there were a lot of people around, I pulled my hand away from his grip. What if we photograph together? I'm worried this would tarnish his name.“I'm not drunk,” I said before he would scowl at me.“I clearly told you not to drink without me.” He hissed and based on his tone, he was definitely angry. But I'm more confused as to why he's forbidding me to drink with anyone else.“Are you my guardian? Bodyguard? I'm an adult and can drink freely–”“Listen to me for once.”My brows furrowed. “For once? I've been listening to you this whole time but it's you who doesn't have the guts to listen to me.” I said with gritted teeth.Now that alcohol was invading my internal organs, the coura

THALIAAFTER A MONTH“After Michael Scott was found dead a week ago, Alfred Laverde was found dead in Whiteface Mountain in the town of Wilmington in Essex County.”Wilmington… That's where Cassie's accident occurred years ago.I avoided my eyes from the TV as my heart suddenly pounded frantically. Anyway, I continue tying the lace of my sandal while trying my best not to react as best as I can at the news.Since Frederick's father was found dead, I'm having a hard time forgetting that news. It breaks my heart to see Fred in tears while mourning for his deceased father.He actually didn't deserve it because he didn't actually kill anyone. Well, almost, and that's us. Still… Fred was a great friend and we noticed he's turning his back on us. Maybe he's blaming us for his loss.And now… my granduncle is also dead.I gaze at my mother, who doesn't even show any emotions while listening to the news. I don't feel the sorrow of losing him. He killed my grandfather, and to be honest, I shou
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 99
THALIAMy eyes began to well up with tears of conflicting feelings. Anger, worries, and longing came out all at once. He disappeared without a trace after saying he would come back, and God knows if he’s alive or not. He made me fucking worried for nothing!“Where were you?” That was the only thing I asked.“I have to take care of something–”“Then why did you have to vanish like that?” My voice cracked up in the end as I failed to control it.He avoided my eyes with guilt lingering all over his face. I don't know what to feel. But there's only one thing I could figure out after seeing him again.“To protect you from harm.”I firmly shut my eyes, tears streamed down my cheeks as his words were like hitting my chest with a knife. All he could think was to be my protector, whereas here I am thinking he might have chosen the others over me.Am I being too selfish?I wiped my face as I looked around. Good thing my bodyguards are outside the university. “What happened to Uncle Michae

THALIAI flinched as I was startled when my phone suddenly rang. I got up in bed, sighing as soon as I saw the time. It's almost three, but my eyes won't even close just a bit.My attention was switched to my phone, which still kept ringing. Who would call at this hour?I answered it without looking at the caller.“Wha–”“Thalia.”My brows furrowed at the familiar voice in the end. I checked the number, but it's unregistered.“Ca-Cassie?”“I'm sorry for barking at the wrong tree.” My jaw fell as soon as I confirmed it was her. I jump off the bed and gaze outside the window.“Where are you? Who's with you?” I desperately asked.However, I heard her chuckle and sighed deeply.“I intentionally took the chance that my mother used to work with Laverde and got in as their so-called illegitimate family member.”Her words left me baffled. So… she's not a real Laverde?“What's your reason?”“I have found evidence and took a chance to get closer to the enemy.”“Evidence of what?”“I only want

THALIAI inhale sharply as soon as I exit the building. My chest feels heavy and tightened, and I don't know how to cope with the pain deep inside of me.My fingers firmly curled around the handle of my handbag.It's just my hunch. It's just my guts. It's just my suspicion that it was Damon. But why don't I feel this suspicion is real?I hate it.My phone rang, and Damon's secretary was plastered on my screen.“How was it? Is it Damon?”“No.”Then why did that jerk get Damon's phone?I scratched my temple as I walked to my car. I entered my car with a frown.“Where did that robber find it?”“He said a woman came and sold the phone.”I paused and confusedly thought about who that woman could be.“Woman? Who?”“He couldn't recognize her because she covered almost her face.”Why do people love covering their faces? Scared of the sunburn or hiding from the authorities?Since it's a woman, there's no way Damon is in trouble. So, I don't give a fuck with that woman who stole Damon's phone a
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 96
THALIAMom and Dad quickly went to Paris last night. Leander and I left here in New York so that we wouldn't be embroiled in the quarrel with Laverde.It's my mother's family, so I'm afraid Mom will break down. I heard her screaming to Uncle Adam on the phone before they left. I sighed as I put down my spoon on the table. I glanced at Leander, who was also in deep thought in front of his breakfast.“What's gonna happen now?”“What else? Mom possibly cut her ties with them.” I tightly shut my eyes in frustration. Why are there traitors in our lives? “Are we just going to stay here and wait? Mom might break down.”Leander let out a frustrating sigh. “Dad is with her. Also, they won't let us tag along with them.”It's been two decades since that happened. Doesn't the grandfather's case have a statute of limitations? I wonder how they found evidence despite the long period since it happened. Anyway, if it really proves my granduncle was the suspect of my grandfather's death, I hope he

THALIAOne week.It's been one week since Damon went missing. I even helped in looking for him but to no avail. Not even the authorities could find Damon Kane. There's no body or anything that can lead to his whereabouts. It was as if he vanished into thin air.I was depressed and cried every night while I had this hope every day of finding him together with the authorities.My parents and Leander didn't complain about how I poured everything into this search and rescue. They can see through me how desperate I am just to find him and I was hoping he's alive and in a safe place.Uncle Michael, who caused all of this, was on the run and hiding somewhere. Where's his courage to kill off my father's happiness now? Maybe he was also the reason why Leander's secretary was abducted and injured. Leander poured his soul into finding her but was also abducted by Uncle Michael. As of now, I don't know why Leander's secretary was abducted.I refused to talk to Frederick. Not because I hate his

THALIAI mustered my courage to point my gun at the person who was about to invade the car, but I stopped to see someone as my reflection, sticking his head through the window.“Leander!”“Thalia? What the hell are you doing here?!”I immediately jerked off from the car but was greeted by a woman leaning at the car. She was wearing corporate attire without a coat, and a red stain was visible on her dirty, white sleeve. “Who is she?”“My secretary. She's injured.” Leander opened the door, and I helped him place the girl in the back seat.Why is his secretary here? Did he come to get her?A rustling sound inside the forest, followed by repeated shouts from men, made us freeze.“They followed us.” My brother growled.He pushed me inside the backseat and entered the driver's seat. He was about to start the engine hastily, but I immediately stopped him.“Wait, Damon is still not here!”“We don't have much time.”He shoved off my hand, but I stopped him again.“No! We need to wait for Dam

THALIAI immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me and kissing him harder than before. He lifted me and placed me on his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist. Our lips remained sealed. It was like we couldn’t get enough of each other, devouring one another. His hands were moving down, under my shirt, his fingers skimming over my skin, sending a rush of blood to every part of my body. His touch gave me the feeling of longing, and I relished every second he pushed his tongue and lips against mine. I lowered my hands and yanked his shirt up. He broke apart long enough to pull it over his head and toss it aside. His hands slid around my head, pulling me back to his mouth. I ran my hands down his abdomen. It was firm, with the perfect amounts of dips and ripples. His lips traveled down my neck and shoulders as he whispered sweet words in my ear. I gasped when he suddenly reclined the seat and softly moaned as I grabbed his face to meet my lips to communica
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 92
THALIAThe whole ride was filled with silence. He is driving his Ferrari while I'm here, sitting in the passenger seat with a lump in my throat. I don't know why I suddenly felt anxious being alone with Damon. The last time we saw each other, we were both fuming in our situation. But still, here I am, wanting to be with him while ignoring the supposed protocols.I gazed at him and saw his furrowed brows and solemn eyes focused on the road. Did he feel the same? Did he feel the awkwardness between us?"H-How did you find us?" I killed the silence."Actually... Leander and I talked before the abduction."I immediately gaze at him. "A-Are Are you the one who caused his wounds?" "Of course not. Do you think I'll harm your brother in that way?"I looked away while reprimanding myself for thinking he would do such a thing."N-No... you would not.""When I was going home after meeting him, Leander's secretary called me and tracked his phone." He explained, which left me with no choice but
