My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Jack Green
AnnaI was about to walk out of his office when I suddenly stopped and turned, "Did I do anything wrong? I can't help but see that you're mad at me." I asked furrowing my brows."Huh! I didn't notice. I'm just really busy Anna, if that is all, I'd like to get back to work" Mark replied nonchalantly."So we're just going to pretend that it never happened?","That'll be all, Anna!" He replied, his tone deeper this time. I was shaken by his denial, but even more curious why he was getting angry now. I did not know what to say or if to just walk away.He slowly raised his gaze towards me after a while and I could see his expression shift from one of happiness to guilt. Leaning back against the couch, he rubbed his hand over his face as he sighed,"What do you want Anna?", he asked, clearing his throat.I was pleased he was willing to talk about it, whatever 'it' was, but I still felt conflicted. His attitude toward me now wasn't what I expected, and I couldn't help but wonder if he regret
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Family Visit
Anna"Why have you been looking for me? What do you know about my family?" I rushed my questions "All your questions will be answered when we meet again." He replied"No, I've waited eight years already. I need answers now"He chuckled softly, "I understand Ms. Brookes, but I don't think I can say anything more over the phone. Meet me this evening at Sylvia's Cafe. Make sure you're not followed this time Ms. Brookes," he said and hung up the call.Immediately after the call, I quickly went on the internet and searched Jack Green, but there were no results. Whoever this was, he was either good at erasing digital prints of himself, or maybe Jack Green was just a made-up name. This whole thing screamed of danger, but I had to find out the truth. I had to know what these people wanted from me. If I was going to keep living in Delroy, I needed to do this and ensure my children were safe.After I finished cleaning the guest rooms, I was about to step out into the hallway when I overheard
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Epiphany
Anna"Welcome Mrs. Grayson" I replied courteously"Oh nonsense, call me Margaret. I've been looking forward to meeting you again." She said, gently patting my arm and walking away. "Mom" Mark interjected walking towards us. Grabbing Margaret's bags, I turned to walk away seeing Mark approach us. However, she immediately grabbed my hand and leaned in"He cares about you more than you realize," Margaret said softly in my ear."What do you mean?" I replied, looking at her with confusion.A meek smile crossed her lips as she sighed, "I know my son better than he thinks. Let's talk when we get a chance tonight."Nodding, I exhaled and the corners of my lips turned into a smile, then turned and walked away.Mark stopped in his tracks and looked at me with a curious gaze, but before he could say anything his mother already called to him.Mark"Mark!" My mother's voice echoed excitedly. "Welcome Mom," I replied absentmindedly. I could sense my mom had taken a liking to Anna, and seeing the
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Learning about the past
AnnaSitting down in the cafe, I scanned my eyes around, making sure that I wasn't followed this time. I took in the general splendor of the dim lighting and warm chatter amongst the other people at the cafe. It had been ages since I've been out like this. Since I became a mother of triplets, my life has revolved around work, my children, and their school. It was nice to be out again, even though the circumstances surrounding it were threatening.The entire atmosphere of the place was rather cozy, but I was not here for romantics. Right then, my phone suddenly beeped and I quickly retrieved it,"Meet me at the corner table." Reluctantly, I stood up and scanned around once more before making my way to his table.To think just days ago, I was considering letting go of finding my family for the sake of my children's safety, but now I was walking towards the same danger I tried to escape from. "Jack? Jack Green?" Hesitation filled my words as I gazed at the brown-haired man burying hi
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid It wasn’t just an accident
AnnaAs soon as his words fell, my body froze in fear"It seems someone from your past has traced you here and given you up to The Circle" This was all becoming too much to handle. I thought I had finally escaped my past when I left everything behind in Delroy, but it seemed I was not as free as I thought. I could not help but wonder who it was. Still, I could not wrap my mind around something Jack said. Casting my eyes to him again, I asked "You said my parents were a part of The Circle?"Nodding his head, Jack continued, "Yes, they were part of The Five, but it seemed someone was jealous of their position and wanted that control and power for themselves. However, when we found out there was an internal power struggle within the organization, it was already too late. Your parents had already died."Immediately I felt a sudden heaviness on my chest. All these years I'd been searching for a family I no longer had. I didn't have any memories of them or even knew what they looked like
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Altercations
AnnaI stared at the screen hesitantly. If Mark was calling now, it could only mean one thing. He had noticed I wasn’t at the mansion and needed me back. However, I was not in any mood to deal with his family now, so I flipped the phone over.“What’s wrong?” Jack asked with an unsettling look on his face. “Nothing,” I answered and again my phone buzzed. “Are we done here, Mr Green?” I suddenly asked, needing some time away to process everything I’d just heard. Strangely, none of it made me feel any different. Not the wealth, influence, or the fact that I was the new leader of the most powerful organization in the country.“Alright, I’ll drop you off. Take your time and get back in touch with me.”I gave him a smile and mouthed the words thank you as I pushed back my chair and stood up.As dinner finished, I didn’t think I wanted to go back to my old job. Even though I was not excited and did not know how to feel about suddenly realizing that I was rich, my job at The Grayson mansio
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid I Quit
AnnaJack glanced at Mark with disdain in his eyes and then scoffed and turned away.Immediately he walked away, Mark turned towards me with a scolding look“What are you doing, Anna?” “I should be asking you that question, Mark,” I interjected “What?” He asked, staring at me in confusion.“What do you want from me? Cause it seems just a few days ago you were telling me how we can never work, and today you’re here stalking me.”“I’m only trying to keep you safe, you can’t trust these people.”“And I can trust you?” I interjected with an unsettling look. I wasn’t sure why he was so adamant about telling me who I could or could not trust. Was there something he knew that I didn’t?I was still waiting for his response, but strangely, he could not answer. His expression shifted from a stern one to that of guilt.A few seconds passed and I shifted my gaze back to him, my focus stern and sharp. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I sighed and asked again, “How did you find me, Mark?
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Digging The Past
AnnaThe car ride back to my apartment was more uncomfortable than I thought it would be.Jack was quiet and even though we had a small, casual conversation, I wasn’t exactly sure what had changed his mood from a few minutes ago.Tilting my head to the side, I gazed out the beautiful skyline of Delroy, replaying everything that had led me to this point, trying to take my mind off Mark.The tension was high when Jack met Mark. I suddenly regretted putting them both in that situation, because the entire time, Mark looked like he was going to kill Jack. Which wasn’t good.You’d think having two men fight over you would be such a thrilling thing, but in that moment, all I wanted was to not be caught in the middle of it.Still, I couldn’t help but wonder why Mark was acting so threatened and jealous. Did he not mean what he said about Mia? Did he finally realize that he didn’t want to be with her anymore and then broke up?Maybe I was a bit too harsh on him. I knew he meant well, but

My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Finally Over
The day of reckoning had arrived. In a few minutes now, Anna and her troop will be taking Edgar and his men by surprise. The stage had been set with everyone working together to end Edgar’s tyranny.Under the cover of the night, Anna, Mark, Jack, and their allies positioned themselves near Edgar’s main hideout. Zach had fed them crucial information about the hideout's layout and where Edgar and George would likely be during the operation. Armed and ready, they moved swiftly, slipping through shadows and avoiding detection.As they closed in, Anna felt a mix of fear and exhilaration. She knew this confrontation would determine everything—her role in The Circle, her fate, and Mark’s future with his family.

Finally, they reached the inner sanctum, silently taking down Edgar’s security guards, until they reached where Edgar and George were having a conversation. The two men looked surprised but quickly
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid The Last Battle
As Mark prepared to find his brother, Zach, he couldn’t help but feel a mixture of fear and hope. Although he had agreed to work with Anna, he wasn’t convinced she understood just how deep the roots of The Circle ran or how much any of this had affected him. However, seeing how resolved she was to take down Edgar had swayed him, and he knew that, for his brother’s sake, he had to give her plan a chance.Meanwhile, after Anna walked out of the room, she now decided to contact Jack. As soon as he picked up, she explained her suspicions about The Circle and how their influence might reach farther than even she had initially thought, informing him that she needed him now more than ever. A few hours passed and Mark arrived at a small, dimly lit bar where Zach was known to spend his evenings. Immediately he walked in, he spotted Zach sitting at the far end of the bar, looking troubled. Mark approached him slowly, and as soon as he sat down, he placed a firm hand on his brother's shoulder.
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Agreement
Author’s POV“So you’re telling me that you are not just a part of an evil organization that has been around for years, but you are also the head?” Mark asked, staring at Anna in disbelief. “I know this is difficult to process, but it is the truth. But we are not all like Edgar.” Anna said.“Right…” Mark scoffed.“No, I mean it. We don’t all want the same thing. The Circle has been in operation for years, working to maintain the balance and smooth operation of the surface world. Edgar and his associates are the only ones with the ideals that things need to change, and that for some reason they are the ones to affect that change. That’s why we are fighting them. We are trying to retain order and balance in this world.”“And how do you do that, huh?”“Tell me, Anna, does it involve letting the people up here decide for their lives or does your organization plan out the course of their lives?” Mark asked with a pruning look.“I don’t know about that, I’ve not been a member for long.” A
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Truth Reveal
Author’s POV“What?” Mark recoiled in shock.“Who could have done that?” Anna hesitated for some moments, afraid of how he would take the news. “Tell me, Anna.” He demanded.“Zach!” Anna blurted. “Your brother Zach did.”Mark staggered for some time, trying to process what I had just said. “Are you serious?” He asked, still in disbelief.“I am,” Anna said softly. Mark remained frozen in place for some time, deep in contemplation. I could imagine how difficult this was for him to hear. Zach was a lot and had caused a lot of problems, but at the end of the day, he was still his brother. “I can’t believe this,” Mark muttered and immediately started searching through his drawers.“What are you doing?” Anna asked, to no reply.“What are you doing Mark?” She asked again. “What does it look like I’m doing?” Mark snapped irritably.“I’m going down to have a conversation with my brother and give him the chance to explain how he almost got me killed.” He raged and grabbed his car key.Ann
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid The Informant
Author’s POVThose words filled Anna with a sudden dread. She hoped that somehow Mark would not ask her that because she still wasn’t sure who the father of her children truly was. There was that stranger from that night, and then there was Luke. For all she knows, it could have been either of them.Seeing how hesitant she was, Mark asked again,“Is the father still in the picture Anna? What happened with him?” At that point, Anna quickly turned around, “He’s not in the picture and that’s all that I can say. I don’t really like to talk about him.” She said, her heart beating out of her chest.Much to her surprise, Mark did not ask anything concerning him again. He waited for some time and then his lips curved into a smile,“I’d like to meet them.” As soon as she heard these words, Anna’s eyes widened in shock.“I’m sorry. You want to meet…”“Your children,” Mark interjected. “Is that okay with you?” He added.Anna remained frozen for some moments, her thoughts running wild. This w
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid What about the father?
Author’s POVUpon hearing that, Mark’s face reddened with humiliation. He didn’t think she would figure it out, but she was right, he was afraid. After Lydia died in that car accident, Mark had spent his entire life afraid of being abandoned, and that fear resurfaced when he learned of Anna’s children.“No Anna, the issue here is that you could not trust me. I’ve already been down that road once with Mia, and I don’t want to be in another relationship where my girlfriend is keeping secrets from me.” He argued.As much as he had a point, Anna was still not convinced. She knew Mark was trying to change the course of their conversation and she would not let him.She shot him a soft gaze and slowly walked toward him, “I know it’s not easy to admit Mark, and I know that I shouldn’t have kept this away from you for so long, but I am afraid too.” Anna said and Mark’s eyes shot up with curiosity.Anna heaved a deep sigh and continued, “When I first came into town, I didn’t know what I was goi
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Scared Just Like Me
Anna“Who’s there?” Mark’s voice sounded through the door.I hesitated to answer. One word from me and he’d be calling the guards to throw me out, or at least that’s what I thought, so I knocked again and waited a while for his answer. This time he did not bother to say anything, and after waiting for a while, I knocked again.“I already told you, Rita, I don’t need anything!” His voice echoed in annoyance as he approached the door, and unlocked it.As soon as his gaze met mine, he froze in shock for some moment, unable to find the words to say anything.“Anna?”“Wh-what are you doing here?” Mark asked, and immediately his brows creased into a deep frown.“Mark, I just want to talk…” I started to say, but he rudely cut me off.“I don’t have anything to say to you.” He replied coldly and tried to close the door, but I quickly put my feet through the doorframe, stopping him.He shot one look at me and sighed heavily, turned his back, and walked inside the room, leaving me at the door.
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid Selfish
Anna“You want my advice? Go for it.” I said, encouraging Jack. Deep down I knew it was a selfish act. As much as I hoped that he’d find love somewhere else, a part of me wanted to believe what it told him about Anna, that deep down she did not still harbor any feelings toward Mark. I’d hate to be in competition with my sister over a man we both wanted. Jack seemed flustered when I said that. I could tell he hoped that no one would spot his feelings toward Chloe, especially not the girl he was just trying to get over.Still, he managed to keep his composure and quickly tried to change the focus,“You should try taking your own advice with Mark. I know I’ve not always made your relationship with him easy, and I apologize for the part I played in that. But whatever this thing is between you and Mark, it’ll be a shame if you both fall out.” He said.“Jack, what happened between Mark and I is not because of you. He just couldn’t stand the honesty he wanted.” I said, pushing the bangs on
My Billionaire Wife is a Contracted Maid The Ex-boyfriend Situation
“Mark and I used to date.” The words echoed in my head like I was reliving a nightmare. I froze in shock, not sure what to say or how to even react. Deep down, I couldn’t help but dismiss the thought that this was the relationship Chloe and Mark shared, but I always tried to convince myself it wasn’t anything like that. Mark never talked a lot about her even after we met at that party, and I just assumed there was nothing much to say about an old friend.Now I see I was just trying to keep my thoughts away from a fear I didn’t want to have to face.However, I couldn’t understand why Chloe chose to tell me at this point and why Mark never said anything. Was he hiding something about their relationship? I didn’t know Chloe was my sister then, and I’m sure he didn't know either. Certainly, I wouldn’t have minded much about a girl he dated in the past, and at this point, I was convinced he was hiding something.As much as it should have felt good that I now had something to call him out
