(Anastasia's POV)Why do I have a feeling that I am having a case of Stockholm Syndrome? Does Stockholm Syndrome make one's panties wet?No?It doesn't?Oh well.I have read somewhere that it takes weeks for Stockholm Syndrome to appear. But, it has been only one day.Oh shit. I'm having a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome.Or maybe I am just going crazy."Hey, Mrs. Billionaire! What are you thinking? Are you daydreaming of Mr. Carter's Cock-a-Saurus Rex?" she said wearing a Cheshire cat grin.It took me a moment to figure it out. "No!" I squealed when Ava gave me a blank expression.I looked behind to see Caleb ordering two cups of Milkshakes from a scrawny brown-haired boy named Luis. He decided to finally go to the local park despite my lack of response earlier.It's not my fault that he manages to shut down all my systems, except my reproductive system, which operates heavily whenever he is around."I can see you undressing him with your eyes, Ana," Ava whispered and I turned to lo

(Anastasia's POV)It's been hours since the small cruise started to move in the water. The feeling of water surrounding us was making me feel uneasy but Caleb was there to distract me. He brought me inside, where there was a living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and other smaller rooms. He was currently sitting beside me, of course never letting go of my hand as he showed me a recipe book. He was talking about spaghetti and meatballs. His other hand moved animatedly in the air as he spoke. His dark brown eyes filled with wonder and delight."Do you like pasta?" He asked, turning the page over."Yeah," I muttered."Do you know how to make one?""A little.""I know how to make it. I'm an expert at it. My mom taught me when I was young." He said and I smiled. He continued talking about his memory and all I could feel was impressed by him."I already know that you can cook, Caleb. Remember in Paris, when Mikael was scared that you might burn his beloved restaurant." we both chuckle whil

(Caleb's POV)Ever since Anastasia entered my life, I felt like I am a fallen leaf floating on a river. She is the fire in my heart. She is everywhere in my body. She stands before my eyes when I close them. She is killing me constantly with her beauty. I wanted her. I wanted her to make me whole. Take my soul, my life, and my heart. My everything. I'm stuck on it hard.My hormones are always on fire whenever she is around. They burn with such a heavy passion. You know that feeling you get when you look at a woman and you just know. That you found her. I think I have found her."What do you want, Damian?" I asked annoyed a little, placing the phone on my ear. I looked at Anastasia lying back on the sand, star-gazing."You free tomorrow dude?" He asked."No," I said."I know you are free," Damian said, knowingly. "Are you with your girl?" He asked and I smiled, feeling my insides warm up at the thought of her. I liked how he said, 'your girl'. Yeah, she is mine alright. I looked to th

(Anastasia's POV)"Happy Halloween." a husky voice whispered in my ear and I jumped, dropping the carton of milk on the table but it was closed, so nothing spills.It was early morning and it was Halloween today. My dress was hanging in my closet and the mere thought of wearing it in front of Caleb made tingles shoot up my spine. "We are running low on food," I said and I heard him shuffling behind me. I turned to see him staring at me with amused eyes. "What are you looking at? Go buy some food. Unless you want to eat pasta dipped in mango juice." I was just joking, I know that it's Rosalinda's job for grocery."You look like a wife," Caleb said, his eyes brightening up immensely and my eyes widened. "You, asking your husband to go to the grocery store and buy food." My eyes widened at his sentence and my face felt heated all of a sudden. I wanted to shift the topic immediately."But I am married to Caleb Carter remember?" I said and now he was beaming, vastly amused at the situation

(Anastasia's POV)Caleb left with Damian, I guess there was a problem with something business. I go back inside the hall and searched for Ava in the crowd but I spotted her with Lucas, so I just let them be. I headed to the buffet table and get some beverages. As I was striding my feet to the table when someone bump my shoulder causing my drink to spill on the ground and few to my hand. I should have been more careful. I raised my head to say sorry but my tongue halted at some creature standing in front of me with her raised eyebrow.It's Lianne.My eyes scanned her outfit, I scoff at the fact that we wear the same costume, Harley Quinn. We must be destined as enemies."Looks who's here," she said with a smirk."Yeah, the CEO's wife, remember?" I yelled at her but I did not intentionally yell, I was just making sure that she hears what I say. The music is just a plus.She rolls her eyes and spotted my outfit. "You don't look good." I gasped."Then how about you? Do you think you can po

(Anastasia's POV)It was full of tension inside the car. I wanted to talk and clarify things but Caleb's anger overpowered him. My tears won't stop streaming down my face. I admit I'm scared. I'm scared that he might hurt me too if I let out a word from my mouth. Scared that he might accuse me of flirting or having an affair with Byron. It's not like I wanted this to happen. I'm a victim too. I didn't do that intentionally.He accelerated the engine causing me on a razor’s edge of panic as my heart hammered in my chest.

With his big strides, he entered the mansion leaving me inside his car.I calm myself down before I jerk off from the car. Striding inside the mansion, I headed to my room.

HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 59
(Anastasia's POV)The slight movement of his chest beneath my palm made me open my eyes and look up to check if he was awake. Sure enough, he was wide awake. His dark brown eyes were wide and frantic. He shot upright in bed and looked around. I remained quiet, letting the surroundings sink into his mind. After only a moment of silence, his eyes met mine, and just, as usual, it made my stomach tingle with sparks.He looked at the bed and looked back at me once again. I sigh at his confused expression. He looked down at his palm and saw the cloth wrapped around it. He frowned."You cut your palm. You got drunk." I said to ease his confusion. "I brought you here. I thought it would help you forget things. Are you okay no—"He closed his eyes shut, squeezing them hard before opening them again. His hand which was currently circling my waist, tightened around me. I feel how he slowly removed his arm and move away from me."C-Caleb--""Leave," he firmly said."Can we at least talk about las

(Caleb's POV)As I opened my eyes I saw nothing, just darkness. I slightly lifted my head only to realize that my arms were wrapped around Ana's body.My face was stuffed in her breasts.When I lifted my head, I saw that she was wide awake with her hands holding her phone over her face.I stare at her with amusement. Damn! She's so stunning with her messy hair. I can't believe that we ended up making love after our quarrel. My eyes look down at her neck, the hickey was gone. I'm so infuriated by Byron's presence. This is what I'm scared about, Byron might steal my girl again, but this time, I won't let him take my girl away from me.Anastasia is so innocent that she didn't know people around her might be causing her trouble.

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

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

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

THALIAI held my chest and felt my pounding heart while hearing his voice, calling my name repeatedly. Is that really him? Did he come to rescue me just like in fairytale movies?It's only been weeks since I haven't heard his voice and not seen his face, but it felt like I hadn't heard from him for years.The back of my eyes warmed, and I chuckled silently at my thoughts.He's always there when I'm in danger. He came to my rescue when I needed him the most. He's really indeed my knight in shining armor--"HERE!" I flinched when Leander shouted near my ear as he pounded his fist on the wall.That woke me up, and I immediately screamed at the top of my lungs. "DAMON, PLEASE SAVE US! THE CONTAINER IS BURNING INSIDE!""FUCK!"I leaned my ear on the wall when I only heard him cuss but eventually distanced myself from the wall because it was getting hotter."Are you sleeping?" He said while coughing.I raised my gaze and glared at Leander but he only scoffed annoyingly. I was about to talk
