HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 90
(Anastasia's POV)"Damian bought you cheeseburgers and fries since he finished eating the fruits Aunt and Uncle bought, are you okay with that?" he asked as he walked to the table, grabbed the paper bag, and walked back to his bed.I stood up in the bedside chair quickly. "Really? Yes! I'm okay with that." I said as he chuckled."I know, this is not healthy but there is no restaurant opened at this hour, only a 24/7 convenience store and fast food drive-thru." I rolled my eyes and sat back on the chair. As usual, the healthy guy."What's the difference between fast food and making your own burger and fries? It is still bread with patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce, and potato fried in oil with cheese?" he chuckled."The cook itself." I glare at him. So his cook is healthy while the professional cook is not? "We don't know how did they cook this food. If it is used oil or not, if the utensils or the pan itself is clean or not, we don't know that since we can't clearly see how they p

(Anastasia's POV)W-What? D-Divorce?No... No... I won't.I rush out to the room, "No..." Mom stopped in her trance. I know she will feel surprised that it's the first I disobey her decision. Well, maybe the second time around after the Italy matter.She exhales deeply and looks at me as if I committed a huge sin. "Are you disobeying me now?"I slowly shook my head. "I love him, Mom. And he feels the same. You can't force me to divorce him unwillingly. This marriage will survive if you give us your full support, the same as the very first time I introduced him to you." "You have to listen to me, Anastasia!" she yells but I did not flinch. I expected her to be this furious, knowing what I had been caused from the very beginning, by lying."No... I-I know you're so damn mad right now, but can you just support me for real this time, Mom?""That's final, Anastasia. Don't let me drag you out of this country." "NO!" she stops. I froze too. I realized what I just did. This is the first I d

(Anastasia's POV)Adam and Caleb aimed a gun at each other, darting a death glare into their eyes as if they were cursing at each other silently."C-Caleb... A-Adam..." they both turn their head toward me. "Put that fucking gun down now!" I yelled to them, I heard a gasp behind me, I turn around to see Mom widening eyes, fear plastered in her eyes, the same with Alice.A fresh swell of rage rose in me as I pursed my lips with my narrowed face while shooting Adam and Caleb a death glare. They avoided my eyes before they slowly lowered their gun and tucked in the gun at their belly pants.Jesus Christ!Why are they showing their guns in front of my Mom and Alice? They're scaring them! Fury roared through my mind but was eventually gone when my eyes landed on Caleb, he has still his wounds, plastered on his face. Why did he have to come here with all of his wounds? He should be resting by now. My eyes stop on his yearning dark brown eyes. He looks at me full of pain, desperation, and s
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 93
(Caleb's POV)I always knew she would return to me but this is not what I expected. I never thought this would really happen between us.Divorce.All my dreams of us being together were shattered right in front of my face. I couldn't believe that it will end up this early. How did Amanda found out the paper? I should have thrown that the moment I confessed to Anastasia. I know she would be angry by our actions but... Divorce? I can't do that. Tears began to roll down my face, I wish that I had had more time to be with her longer, to tell her how much I love her. I was too caught up in taking them time to breathe and sink into the situation we had. Suddenly, they are taking her away from me, and that matters now.I can't let her go.She is the only one who can understand me, and my ups and downs. She made me into a whole person, she's the piece that I need to fill the life that I almost ruined because of the past. She made me believe true love exists. I need her in my life. I need her
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 94
(Caleb's POV)I felt a bucket of ice water thrown on my chest waking me up from my hell. My body was drenched in sweat. I felt as if I couldn't breathe. The more I tried to catch my breath the more a failed."You look terrible, dude, even worse than what Alice had said," Damian said throwing me with another bucket.I looked up to see a smacking Damian, he has always loved the sight of my misery."Go away, Damian.""Now that you said it, I'm not leaving your side. I'm gonna be there for you and make sure you feel a lot worse than you already do. After all, that's what brothers are for."Everything came back to me again, all I could see was her face. The thought of losing her totally frightened me, I just couldn't bear it. I wouldn't be able to survive it."You are doing that thing again," Damian said slapping his face and bringing me back to reality."What thing?" I asked with confusion.He let out a breath. "That ugly face you make whenever you are thinking.""If you are here to mock
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 95
(Anastasia's POV)I felt weak. My eyes could barely open. I couldn't move my hands, they were tied up to a pole, with something I couldn't see. My head felt heavy, I could only hear the sounds of water dripping and whispers.I slowly began to regain my conscience. I finally opened my eyes. The room was dark, there was no window and there was only one door which was up against the stairs. I assumed this might have been a basement.Nothing around me looked familiar. I couldn't tell whether it was night or day.All my memory's started coming back to me slowly. I was still in the same clothes I had been wearing when I am looking for Caleb. But how I got here or where I was, I was still not certain.The room was cold and dusty like someone had not been in there for ages. I could smell blood, but I guess that might have been my blood since blood was running down my face, my hands two might have been bleeding as well because they were tired and very tight.My whole body felt as if it was dra

(Caleb's POV)I felt like crap right now, like I was about to faint. I tossed and turned in my bed, I just couldn't sleep. Those pills or whatever they were, were starting to kick in.My head felt heavy and everything was in double effect. I couldn't tell what was real and what was not. It was as if I was in another world. For some reason, I just had so much energy right now and at the same time, I felt so weak."Caleb, what's wrong?" I heard Anastasia's voice. Like always her voice sounded like an angel whispering in my ear.She sat right next to me on my bed and then she started running her hands through my hair."I missed you so much, love," I whispered.I tried getting up but it was as if my body had a mind of its own, it just couldn't comply.I leaned in forward to kiss her. Before I got to her lips, I felt a hard punch on my face bringing me back to reality."Dude, are you trying to make out with me?!" Damian exclaimed.Shit, I could have sworn it was her a minute ago. It seemed

(Caleb's POV)"BYRON!""BYRON!!!"I'm at Fendi Chateau Residences with Damian, in front of Byron's unit. I keep banging on his door for more than a minute now and it's losing my patience. When I heard Clinton, only Byron and Cecille were on my mind. I know that I should not jump to conclusions without a shred of valid evidence but maybe they know who is the real owner of the house."Maybe he is not home," Damian commented causing me to curse and feel frustrated."Let's get the key down there." "W-What?" I ignore him and walk to the elevator. "Will they give it to us?"They should be, or else I'm going to burn this Goddamn building!When we arrived at the lobby, we headed straight to the receptionist."Can you open unit 104?" I firmly asked the woman in charge."M-Mr. Carter, w-we can't do th--""JUST OPEN THE GODDAMN UNIT!"A hand on my shoulder makes me flinch as his grip put too much pressure on my shoulder. I glare at Damian who's making a fake smile at the receptionist and look

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

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
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
