Her last sentence caught Richard's attention. Is she crazy or what? What made her think that he would marry someone like her?

“You must be nuts,” Richard said sternly. “Listen, I'm not ready for your stupid games. If you don't tell me how I got here and what you gave me last night, that made me forget what happened. I will call the police on you.”

Well, Richard knows that he doesn't need police. His men can handle this lady. He is the law himself. He just said that for saying sake.

The lady chuckled sarcastically as she flipped her hair. “Calm down, Mr. Presley. There is no need to involve the police. This is something we can settle amicably. You just need to cooperate.”

“You are definitely insane.” Richard snapped. He doesn't need to waste his time with someone so below him. His men will handle her. She probably drugged him last night, and it seems she's trying to blackmail him. If only she knew that he's far beyond blackmailing. It seemed like she only knew the name Richard P

    Richard was amazed by her bravery. The little fear he saw in her eyes a while ago has vanished. She was staring defiantly at him as someone who had something dangerous off her sleeve. Somehow, he's interested to know how she will actually ruin his reputation. “Believe me, Mr. Presley. I can ruin your reputation. Just like I said, don't underestimate me.” Elizabeth said plainly. She looks damn serious. “Let's be an adult and talk business, Mr. Presley, if not…. I'm going to release these pictures to the press.” Elizabeth smirked as she showed the pictures to Richard. It is the pictures of them on the bed half naked. Richard scoffed, staring at the pictures. He knew it…. She was going to blackmail him. He believes nothing happened between them. She just got them half naked and took the pictures. Well, he should give it to her because she's actually smart, but not so smart. “Do you think this petty thing can ruin my reputation? May I remind you who I am, Miss Elizabeth. I am Richar

    “I have one more request, Mr. Presley,” Elizabeth said. She and Richard had just gotten married in the court, and Richard was headed to his car while she followed him. “The deal has only one request, Miss Elizabeth, and I've fulfilled it already. Don't think you can make me do another.” “It's not a big deal, Mr. Presley. In fact, it is something that every couple does. If you want the world to believe that we are a happily married couple. Most importantly, if you want Mr. Reynolds to believe that you are a gentleman who loves his wife and is capable of taking care of her. You will know that I should live with you in the Presley mansion and also work in the Presley corporation.” Elizabeth bluntly said. Richard smirked. This woman really has something big up her sleeve. She wants to work in the Presley corporation. Now this game is getting interesting, and he's so delighted to play along. He will definitely enjoy playing this game. At least, it will help get Anita off his neck.

  • Mr. CEO, I Married You Again For Revenge    10. Your dream indeed

    Richard knew that his parents would freak out once he arrived at the mansion with Elizabeth. Their family values marriage a lot. It is their culture that every member of the family will be present in any marriage that concerns the family. It also includes the members of the family you are not on good terms with and those you are on good terms with. Also, the couple must be wedded in church. In their family, that's the only marriage they recognize and honor and not this court marriage he just had with Elizabeth.His marriage with Elizabeth is not something he would be committed to. That's why they just had a simple court marriage of signing the marriage contract. After their marriage, he got to know her surname— Carter. He has already told his personal investigator to look into her background. He knew it's insane that he had just married a stranger he knew nothing about, but this stranger brought an interesting game to his table, and he's so eager to play it. He couldn't help but noti

    Richard had earlier reached out to his family, requesting their presence in the sitting room because he has an important announcement to make. Everyone was present except his aunt, Natalie. Well, that one is never present. She must be wasting in one bar right now. Elizabeth watched their faces. She saw the old Mr. Presley, the only good one among these evil people. He's now confined in a wheelchair, but she's glad he later woke up from his coma. He was the only person Annabelle had who got her back in this house.“Who is this?” Mrs. Evelyn Presley asked as she stared at Elizabeth with disdain. She could see the slight resemblance she has with Annabelle. The only difference is that she looks more beautiful and intrepid than Annabelle.“This is Elizabeth Carter, my wife.” Richard announced without meeting the gaze of any of his family members. He was silently waiting for them to freak out, especially his mother. She has recognized only one woman as his wife, and that's Anita. Secondly,

    Old Mr. Presley is still the patriarch of the Presley family, and his decision is final. Since he accepted Elizabeth into the family, the rest of the family has no choice but to do so. Evelyn Presley may have said yes to what her father in-law said but that doesn't mean she won't find a way to get rid of Elizabeth. She got rid of Annabelle, so getting rid of Elizabeth won't be a hard case. She doesn't know how Elizabeth was able to seduce her son and make him go against the family law and marry her in court, but she will make her regret doing so. “Thank you,” Elizabeth said to the maid that took her to Richard's room. The room is spacious and beautiful, too big for one person. The only thing she can say is that money speaks volumes in this room. She gently dropped her bag on the bed as her eyes studied the beautiful room of gray and white. Her feet moved her to the big walk in closet. Her mouth made an ‘o’ shape when she entered inside. For a second she thought that she was suddenly

    “Even if you don't like me, that doesn't mean I don't like you and I see this as a real marriage. Moreover if your family finds out that I forced you into this marriage, they will end it and I will take action. I will release the pictures to the internet and make sure it gets to Mr. Reynolds. I'm sure you wouldn't want Mr. Reynolds nor your family to find out about the pictures. So we should keep this marriage as real as possible. And don't worry, I won't be in your space. We can share a room and still respect each other's privacy.” Elizabeth said as she walked towards the bathroom door. “I will take a bath now, I feel dirty. You can join me if you want.” She sexily winked at him as she entered the bathroom. Richard felt a heat rush down his torso when she sexily winked at him. Richard can lie all he wants but he knows that this lady makes him feel something that he doesn't want to feel. He doesn't understand that feeling and he wishes not to because he won't succumb to it. When she

  • Mr. CEO, I Married You Again For Revenge    14. The game has begun

    The next morning, Elizabeth woke up with a smile. She was holding something hard and yet soft. She smiled, snuggling close to that thing because it felt so comfortable. After a while, she gently opened her eyes. Her blurry vision fell on a handsome face. She couldn't process what she saw. She blinked her eyes to get a clearer view. That was when she realized that the comfortable thing she was sleeping close to was Richard. She widened her eyes in shock. How did they end up in this intimate position? At that moment, Richard also opened his eyes. He also blinked to know if he's not dreaming. Why the fuck is she so close to him. He quickly pushed her away and sat up from the bed. Luckily, Elizabeth was far from the bed edge and didn't fall off. “What the fuck!” he cursed. “Why the hell are you sleeping so close to me?”“Why are you so surprised? Isn't that what couples do…… cuddling to sleep. Besides, I'm sure you enjoyed it more than I do.” Elizabeth winked at him and got out of bed. S

    Elizabeth was returning to her room when a hand dragged her to a corner. She was met with the angry face of Evelyn. “Who are you? And what is your motive in marrying my son?” Evelyn asked with a stoic expression. Evelyn couldn't help but think that something was going on. Even if Richard refuses to tell her, she knows that there must be a reason they got married. And Elizabeth has an ulterior motive for this marriage. “I think you know who I am. You called me a gold digger the first day we met, Mrs Presley or should I call you mum?” Elizabeth asked with a smirk. “I am not your fucking mother. Tell me, why did you marry my son?” Evelyn snapped.“You already know my reason. Why are you still asking me again? Well, let me put it clearly for you to understand. I am here to eat the Presley money just as you are doing.” she leaned close to her ears. “I know the truth, mum. You are not from a rich family. You are here as a gold digger just as me.”Evelyn widened her eyes in shock. How dar

    Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock. What did he just say? She's Annabelle? What's he blabbing? She's not fucking Annabelle! “You think I will not know? Even if you change your face and change everything about you. I will still recognize you, Annabelle. You can't deceive me,” he said with a dangerous smirk.Elizabeth gulped down, but didn't let her fear show. She's not weak. Elizabeth is never weak. With all her strength she pushed him away. She sat up from the bed as she held her neck, coughing and trying to catch her breath. Richard, who fell on the other side of the huge bed sat up as he glared at her. “What are you doing here, Annabelle. How dare you come back here after what you did.”“I don't know what came over you and what made you to speak such nonsense, but I'm not Annabelle.” Elizabeth said after filling her lungs with air as she climbed down the bed. “You reek of alcohol. I wonder how much you drank to the extent of talking rubbish. You need to go and freshen up. I belie

    “What? That can't be possible.” Noah cuts in.“Why won't it be possible? She looks like Annabelle and I can't find anything on her as Elizabeth. She reminds me so much of Annabelle. Whenever I'm with her, I feel like Annabelle is there. Even when I kissed her….” He muttered the last sentence. “What if she's Annabelle and her goal is to destroy my family. What if she's here to take away everything my family has. It could be possible that she did surgery to change her face.”“Can you listen to yourself, Richard. Do you think Annabelle is capable of doing that?”“She is. Have you forgotten what she did five years ago.”“Come on buddy….. do you really believe that Annabelle could do such a thing?” Noah said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He has tried severally to make his friend understand that the Annabelle they both knew can't do what they accused her of. Yes, the evidence was there but it was still hard to believe. What if that evidence was made up? Though he has tried to f

    When Noah saw the news of Richard being married to Elizabeth Carter, he was so disappointed in his best friend. How can he give up on Annabelle? Though they have been searching for her for the past five years and still haven't found her, they still can't give up. He called Richard and he said that he will explain everything to him once he's back. Now that he's back, he can't wait to know why Richard suddenly got married to a woman that nothing much is known about. “Start talking buddy. Who is this Elizabeth Carter and why did you marry her?”Richard doesn't feel like saying anything to Noah right now but he has already promised to tell him everything once he's back. He took a deep breath and explained everything to him. Noah is one person that Richard tells everything to. He literally knows most of Richard's secrets. “So you are saying that you married her because you want to know what her true intentions of blackmailing you is. And right now, it seems that you are slowly falling i

    Richard removed the coat wrapped around Elizabeth's body by the young man and gave it back to him.“I don't think my wife needs this anymore,” he said and grabbed Elizabeth's hand walking her to the car, but Elizabeth forcefully freed her hand from his grip. “Don't you think that you need to apologize first. You left me here in the cold, and now you come back and you are rude towards the person that was trying to help me.” “I……” he paused and ran his palm through his face. “Does that matter now? Whether I apologize or not, it won't change a thing. Come on, let's go, and stop being stubborn.”Elizabeth glared at him. What was she expecting? He will never change. Always a spoiled brat full of pride. She turned to the young man. “Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.”“You are welcome.” The young man replied with a bright smile. Richard glared at him as he grabbed Elizabeth's hand, dragging her to the car. He's angry, but he can't even explain why he's angry. He opened the c

    After work, Elizabeth didn't make use of her car. She was fast to enter Richard's car before the driver drove away.“What the fuck…. Why are you here?” The startled Richard asked. It was like a flash. He was pressing his phone and the next thing…. She was already in the car that was about to move. Elizabeth flashed him an innocent smile and adjusted to a good position. “My car was having a problem. So I decided to ride with you.” She lied. Of course, her car was full of life. It's just an excuse to ride with Richard.“Then take a taxi.” Richard said coldly and turned to the driver. “Stop the car!”The driver found a good spot on the roadside as he carefully parked the car. “Are you getting off here, Richie?”“You are getting off, not me!”“Woah! Richie, you can even read my mind now. How did you know that I wanted to stop by the mall to get something?”Richard rolled his eyes. Is she dumb or what? “Yeah, mind reading is one of my jobs. Step down already!” He flinched a bit when Eli

    “Richie, do you think we will be able to create another design before the launching date? I mean, can we meet up with the date?” Elizabeth asked as she sat opposite Richard in his office. Richard has been busy since yesterday. Elizabeth doesn't know if he slept in his home office yesterday night because he was busy or because he was avoiding sleeping in their room with her. “We will, you don't need to worry. Everything will be handled very well.” Richard replied, not sparing her a glance. His eyes were fixed on the laptop in front of him. It's not like he's working, he's just trying to avoid her. “Richie…” “I'm busy.” He cut her off. “Go back to your office, we can talk some other time.” He knows that he can't avoid her, but for now he just wants her to leave. He needs to gather his thoughts. A lot is in his mind, and he feels like he would go crazy. “I've been working since morning. I need a break.” She said with cute pouty lips. “I know that you are also tired of working. Let

    After dinner, Richard went to his home office. He has a lot of work to do, and he doesn't think if he will even have some sleep tonight. He had worked for about two hours when Elizabeth walked in with a cup of coffee.Richard frowned upon seeing her. He hates what this woman makes him feel. “What are you doing here?” His voice was cold.Elizabeth simply smiled as she dropped the cup of coffee on the table. “I brought you coffee. It will help.”“I don't need it.” Richard replied sarcastically.“You need it. Stop being stubborn. I'm just trying to be a sweet wife.”“Well, you don't have to. Leave with your coffee.”Elizabeth frowned. He is such a stubborn man. She sighed and sat opposite him.“I asked you to leave!”“Why are you so adamant about me leaving? My presence isn't stopping you from working.” She retorted. Suddenly, she smirked and leaned forward, exposing the tip of her cleavage. Richard cursed inwardly and tried not to look. “Is my presence affecting you, Richie? In a way

    Elizabeth gathered herself together and went down for dinner. Before she left the room, she checked her secret phone and as expected she saw a message.‘Everything is moving smoothly.’ The message reads.There's another one. She opened it. ‘When are we going to meet?’She sighed and looked toward the bathroom door. Richard entered there a few seconds ago before she decided to check her phone. She returned her attention to her phone as she typed.‘Soon. Just be patient, and continue with our plan.’After typing and sending the message, she hid the phone and left the room. She walked down the huge spiral stairs and was walking towards the dining room when Natalie blocked her path. Natalie flashed her a cocky smile as she drank from her bottle of wine. Elizabeth tried not to cringe her nose. Natalie always reeks of alcohol even when she's not drinking one. She wonders what's her problem. What pain is she going through, trying to use the alcohol as her reliever? Well, that's none of he

    “I told you not to touch my things!” Richard growled as he picked the picture. He noticed the sad and painful look in Elizabeth's eyes, but it vanished immediately. He thought maybe he imagined it.“That wasn't intentional.” she rolled her eyes, thinking that he's overreacting. “I was looking for my red skimpy nightwear. It is my favorite.”“And how does that have to do with my wardrobe.” Richard hissed.“We share the same closet, I thought maybe it's there.” she replied lazily. “ Why the fuck are you even angry? That was just a picture, and it's not like I ruined it. It's still intact.”Richard's eyes flashed in anger as he grabbed her arm recklessly, making her wince slightly. “It is not just a picture! Don't ever come near my things again!” He warned and yanked her off. She nearly fell down but luckily maintained her stamina.“That's your ex-wife, right?” She asked calmly as she rubbed her arm to reduce the pain. There was a red mark left there by his hard grip.His intense gaze g
