It's true that she hesitant to make a decision about the baby before now, but she's made up her mind to keep the baby and she's willing to do it without the support of any of her family members.And that will only be possible if she is able to divorce Benjamin Fosters.“A penny for your thoughts” her hands instinctively went for her non-existent belly bump as if to protect her baby.Her motherly nature was already stepping in when the baby is still yet to form.She turned and met Ken smiling down at her.Was he flirting with her while the brother was few meters away?Startled, she asked “What do you want”“Can't I check up on my brother's wife?

She could hate him for all he cares, he would never sign the divorce papers not even if her life depended on it.A knock on the door and he was thrown off his reverie.Sir, your mother is here. She's waiting downstairs”Why does his mom always act like a stranger each time she visits her own house?In the living room, she caught sight of him descending the stairs and grinned widely.“Hello Son! You don't look bright at all. Is your wife not taking care of you like she ought? I can arrange for….”“Mom, I'm okay. Thanks for asking” suddenly cutting her off.Touching his cheek, she peered into his eyes as if he lied.He was not a child, plus they had so many maid's in the mansion and she clearly knows that, but she couldn't help but enquire about him.“Where is she?” She finally asked.“Who?” “Your wife of course.” Benjamin paused before asking a servant to

“What have I done wrong?”Heavy slaps land on her face, the sound almost reverberating around the room.“How dare you question my order about who to marry? What say do you have in this family?Jane’s father's eyes were filled with coldness, and his anger was glaring from inside.This was not the first time she was beaten for asking a mere question.She had wanted to know why she was being forced to marry when she had no plans to marry such a person.“Your little sister would be happy if she had this opportunity, but Forster's family specifically requested you instead of Mariam.” Dad says this between clenched teeth.“You should be happy. You’re not even qualified to marry into such a family.”“Is that so? I’m not qualified, yet they asked for me? Who are you deceiving? Can’t you see that I'm no longer a child?” It was natural to have them protect Miriam; she was the family princess, while I, on the other hand, am nothing but a second person who is only considered in the absence of th

I jump up in shock and cling to a nearby window blind for protection.I thought they said he’s in a coma; why is he suddenly wide awake?In panic, I observed my supposed husband on the bed; although he was wide awake, he still had the cold expression he had while in a coma.Just then, someone knocked on the door, and I rushed to open the door, eager to have another person in the room besides my vegetative husband.“I think the young master is awake; he has opened his eyes.”The young maid gave me a disdainful look before answering me, “You shouldn’t be playing around here; this is not some fun park for kids.”"But I wasn’t playing around; I just saw him open his eyes before your knock came.”“Take care of the young master and stop being so jumpy.”The maid was about to leave when I suddenly drew her back. “Please, can I get another place to sleep in? I don’t think I can sleep in here.”“If you want the young master’s family to demand their money back, you can go ahead.”What money is

As usual, Benjamin was motionless in the water, and only her stirring caused ripples in it.Jane wiped his body and smiled at how taut his body felt under her palm.Suddenly, his hand moved and she eyed him in shock“If you're going to wake up, why don’t you just do so?”After helping him into the bed with the assistance of the male servants, she laid down beside him, totally worn out from the bath.“If you’re lucky to survive this, you will surely reward me for stressing me so much,” she threatened.Her aches were back, and it bothered her.She lay down to rest on this particular day after giving her unconscious husband a massage, but a knock on the door abruptly interrupted her.“Madam, the young master’s mother wants to see you.”Jane frowned. Does she have to come now that she’s almost exhausted?It is true that she was eager to meet her mother-in-law, but it was definitely not when she was in dire need of rest.In the sitting room downstairs, her mother-in-law scanned her as she

Agony coursed through her, and her hand instinctively reached for her throbbing head, searching for any hint of swelling. It was a searing pain, the kind that made her question whether she had really said, "I do."Ken, on the other hand, displayed a cold indifference to her suffering. He didn't offer a hint of remorse, only a cynical laugh at her clumsiness. She was enraged by his calamitousness.And then an unexpected surge of strength welled up within her. With a fiery determination, she rose up from the bed, lunging angrily at Ken. "You fool," she seethed, her eyes blazing. "Don't you ever dare to lay a hand on me again."A mysterious sound coming from Benjamin's bed abruptly ended their argument. They both froze, their quarrel momentarily forgotten as they turned to gaze in his direction.Benjamin had awoken, his eyes flickering in the dim light cast by a solitary bulb in the room. His sudden consciousness sent a shockwave through the atmosphere, and Ken, in a panicked frenzy, bolt

Her heart was beginning to pound terriibly against her chest; she fought to even maintain composure while he vented his anger at her.“Do you think someone like you of a low background can be my wife?”She knew she wasn’t fit to be his wife, and if she were given a choice, she wouldn’t have accepted.“You can also forget about what my father said about wanting a grandson from you; it will never happen, not even in a thousand years. What makes you think you can even carry my child?”He sizes her up immediately and returns his gaze to her pale face.“Wake up from your dream, you golddigger." He fires at her, making her flinch at the hurtful words. She knew she was not close to the women he had things to do with in the past. They were definitely classic women from renowned elite families; she was a no-body, and she clearly accepted that from the onset. He should quit with the reminder already.She was aware that Mr. Leonard personally arranged the marriage and that the wife had no role
Married to the Heartless Billionaire Chapter Six
Chapter SixJane scanned the ruin caused by her supposed husband and boss. She wouldn't dare address him as her husband anymore, not since he woke up from his slumber. He could kill anyone who dares to address her as his wife. Not like she was bothered. She was better off single than staying married to a man as mean as Benjamin Forster. But she couldn't ask for a divorce yet, not while Benjamin's father was away. He would never forgive her if she left him without his consent.She would endure everything till he returns, hopefully, he will grant her request and she would go back to her little dungeon.Her mind filters the mess before her and she resorts to cussing him silently.“He's intentionally doing all of these to piss her off” she thought to herself.The room was now in order, wiping sweat off brows with the base of her palm. She paused to observe what she had done so far. Satisfied with her work, she took a fake bow before strutting out of the room into the kitchen.She knew her

I was in the restroom” she stuttered, her eyes straying from his feet to his unclad chest.Although she had seen him naked before, that was while she bathed him in his unconscious state.
