My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 008 Sudden Luck
~Rosemary~Time seemed to stop when my chest collided with Gerald's. Our gazes locked. I could see my reflection in his alluring eyes.Suddenly, we pulled away from each other. I ran my finger through my hair and looked away in embarrassment."Sorry," Gerald said softly.I waved my hand. "Don't be. Thanks for catching me."Oh, God! Why is my heart beating fast? And why can't I look at him in the eye anymore? That's normal, right? He's a handsome man. There's no way I am falling for him. I still haven’t gotten over Max."Your ankle twisted. Are you sure you are okay?" Gerald asked, glancing at my ankle.I pulled back my leg and waved. "I'm fine. It just hurts a little."Gerald nodded. After holding the door for me and getting behind the wheel, he asked, "Where to now?""Elmont. The house my father left to me is on the outskirts."Under my direction, Gerald drove us to my father's childhood home. It was a washed-up one-story building that stood surrounded by trees.The first thing I not
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 009 Thirst For Revenge
~Rosemary~"I can't believe I actually sold the house for ten million, now I can use this to start my own business!" I said to Gerald on the way home.He smiled. "Good things come to good people, Rosemary.""But this is just too good to be true!" I argued. "Why did that man spend so much for a dilapidated house? He didn't even inspect it himself!"Gerald kept his eyes on the road. "Rich people are full of surprises. I guess he has lots of money to throw around. You know, the fung-shui thing. Or maybe he just loves Elmont.""Maybe..." I muttered, still feeling a little strange."This calls for celebration!" Gerald declared when we returned home. "Let me cook you dinner.""I'll join you."I chopped the veggies while Gerald seasoned the chicken. At this moment, I couldn't help remembering my previous marriage. Although marrying Max had been a dream come true, life in his house was torture. I was always so lonely and sad.Max and I never did anything as a couple. He only came home to eat
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 010 Troublemakers
~Rosemary~Three years. That's how much time had passed since I got divorced and remarried. A lot happened within that time. I had toiled day and night. However, I still couldn't believe I had achieved so much. I was no longer the broke and broken Rosemary Beckett. Now, I was a boss. After flipping stocks for a long time, I was finally able to buy a prestigious hotel located in the heartbeat of Manhattan. I also bought a bunch of other properties.Standing up from my desk, I adjusted the silver watch on my wrist and slipped into my red bottoms. I closed my laptop and then grabbed my phone and bag.It was just a few minutes past five, but I was leaving the hotel early today. I turned off the lights in the office when I got to the door. As soon as I walked out, a waitress in a black and white uniform came rushing from the left. She bumped into me. "Sorry, boss. I'm so sorry!" She bowed deeply."It's all right. Be careful next..." My words trailed off when I saw tears rolling down her
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 011 Physical Assault
~Rosemary~"I am going to call security and they will throw you two out, that's what!" I fired, unfazed by her murderous glare.Amani scoffed. "You must be out of your damn mind! Max and I are quite popular around here. If you do anything stupid, this hotel will go under."I scoffed in return. "Let me worry about that, will you?"A look of surprise appeared on her face, but she continued, "We demand an apology!"She turned to Max again. "Right, honey?"Max nodded and looked at me. "As a manager, it's your duty to keep the customers smiling. Apologize to us right now!""I will do no such thing!" I snapped. "Stop wasting my time. Take your things and leave!"Amani stamped her feet. "I won't take this. We have spent so much money only to receive such shitty service, what are you going to do about that!"Sucking my teeth, I opened my bag and took out the bundles of cash I had planned to deposit in the bank tomorrow morning. I took off the bands, spread the notes like a fan, and then flung
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 012 Counter Slap
~Rosemary~ "Wait, you mean to tell me that Amani slapped your employee, and when you confronted her, she pushed you and you ended up with a scald?" Sabrina asked at noon after I told her what happened. I nodded, sipping from my glass of juice. "Please keep your voice down. People might hear you." Sabrina glanced around the restaurant. "Fuck that shit! Please tell me you gave her the beating of her life!” “I didn’t. Max was there and I was hurt.” Sabrina rolled her eyes, clutching her fork even tighter. “That bitch has got to pay! You should report to the police." "No," I said, shaking my head, "I want to deal with this my own way. It has been a long time coming, anyway." Sabrina wiped her lips with a piece of serviette. "If you say so." She looked at her watch. "Can we go now?" I set down my glass and picked up my bag. "Yes, please." Sabrina and I walked out of the restaurant and went to the shopping area of the mall. She had offered to take me shopping earlier. As we passed
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 013 Stern Warning
~Rosemary~Amani staggered backward. Her designer bag dropped from her arm as soon as she crashed into a shelf. Her face turned white, but I could see my palmprint on her cheek. She stared at me with eyes wider than an owl's.The silence was deafening. I had picked up the bag I wanted and turned around before she finally spoke."You slapped me!" Amani screamed, holding her red cheek. "How dare you!""That is what you get for slapping me!"There was a stinging pain in my cheek, but I clenched my jaw and glared at her. "Look at me carefully, Amani. I'm not the Rosemary you knew three years ago. Hell, I am not even the same person I was yesterday."If you dare put your filthy hands on me ever again, I'll break them! Then, I will make sure that when next you see me coming, you will go the other way!"Amani's eyes widened even more. Just when I thought she wasn't going to say another word, she straightened up and spat, "You bitch! You have crossed the line. Max is going to be so mad when I
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 014 Surprise Visitor
~Gerald~Rosemary had my undivided attention once she said those words. I noticed that her expression was serious as she continued, "Here's the thing, I have been thinking. Don't you think it's high time you found a real job? Like a 9-5?"Where is this coming from? I wanted to ask. Instead, I said, "I love photography and the last exhibition I had in the UK was kinda successful. I'm looking to do more."Rosemary hung her head and sighed. "I knew you would say this. You are an MIT grad. For how long would you continue doing photo exhibitions? Last time we spoke, you told me you don't earn much. Your monthly allowance is also not going to be sustainable in the long run. You need to start thinking big."It felt so nice to know that she was concerned about me. My attraction to her was shooting to the roof now. I placed my hand under my chin and stared at her beautiful face. How did I land such a woman? I was still bedazzled by her when she pushed her milkshake into my other hand. "I just
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 015 Entitled Mother
~Rosemary~A shiver ran down my spine. My palm turned sweaty against the doorknob. I stared at the woman in front of me. She seemed not to have aged a day. In fact, she looked younger than she used to be. The wrinkles that were usually on her forehead were gone.It was my mother.I hadn't seen her in three years. Last I heard, she was off vacationing in different luxury destinations on Max's tab. Considering that she came all the way to my home this early, it couldn't be good.She eyed me. "Are you going to invite me in or what?" Her words snapped me back to reality. "Ermm... Please, come in."I held the door open wide enough. Nonetheless, as she walked in, she hit my shoulder with hers. It brushed against the scald that was yet to heal fully. I bit my tongue, braving the pain."Good morning, ma'am," Gerald said, walking over from the dining table.My mother turned a deaf ear to his greeting. Instead, she looked around the small apartment with her nose turned up in disgust."Mom, ple

My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 168 Reunion
~Rosemary~Gerald’s head shot up as soon as I spoke. His eyes lit up and then, I felt his body crushing mine.“You are back!” he said, kissing my face. “What took you so long?”He pulled back and held my face. “Oh, my God! You scared the shit out of me. Don't do that again, okay?”I chuckled. “Okay, Mr. Beckett.”“I was so worried about…” His words trailed off. “Wait, what did you just call me?”I shrugged, “Mr. Beckett?”“You…you remember me?”I nodded. “I remember everything, Gerald. I am sorry that—”Before I could finish speaking, he knocked the breath out of me with a hard kiss. I smiled against his lips and then parted mine.Until now, I didn't know how much I had missed his lips on mine. As always, it felt like heaven. I held his strong arm despite the pain in the back of my hand due to the IV needle.“Catch your breath,” Gerald said, pulling back after like a minute.“What?” I chuckled again.“I’m not done yet. Just breathe.”I did as he said. And the second I was no longer g
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 167 Coma
~Gerald~“Seize them!” I roared the second I kicked the door open.All six of my men matched in and surrounded Max and Amani. They struggled but were pinned down within seconds.I squatted by the door, seeing Rosemary lying down.“Baby!” I scooped her up.She smiled at me. “You are here.”When she coughed out blood, I held her face. “Shh! Don't say anything. Let’s get you to the hospital.”“Wait!” Rosemary reached out and held my face. “I’m sorry for not believing you. Sorry, I realized too late.”“No! It’s not too late.”“I’m afraid it is.” She smiled again. “If I were to come back to this world again, I’d love to be your woman again. I would love to know love like you love me. To love you and be loved by you, Gerald. Just by reading your words, I realized that you are the man I always dreamed of having as a child.”She rubbed my face. “Promise me that we will meet in another life? Promise me that you will look at me the way you are looking at me right now.”“No! I can't promise you
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 166 Another Murder Attempt
~Rosemary~It was already past closing hour for most jobs, but my lawyer agreed that I come in to start the process. On the way, my phone dinged.A notification from the doorbell camera had just come in. I opened it and saw the live footage of Amani’s car pulling up in the driveway of Max's house.What’s she doing there? And immediately I just left too.I watched as Amani got out of her car. Max showed up from the inside. They spoke for a while. I thought they were arguing again. But then…“Oh, my God!” I screamed the second Max kissed Amani.“Ma’am,” said the taxi driver. “Are you okay?”I covered my mouth, shaking as Amani and Max made out on the porch. They looked like they wanted to gobble each other up. Max even grabbed her ass and squeezed it. Then they staggered into the house, still not letting each other go.“Ma’am, is anything the matter?”Hearing the taxi driver’s voice again, I raised my head. “Please, can you take my back? I will pay double.”He looked at me through the r
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 165 Prenuptial Agreement
~Rosemary~I couldn't stop thinking of what Gerald said to me about proposing a prenuptial agreement. He sounded so sure that Max wanted me for my money. But Max was a billionaire, right?Right?I took out my phone and searched for the name of Max’s company. A few headlines came up.The first one: Brix Cars to get new CEOThe second: Max Smith resigns from the CEO position. Would this mark the end of the family’s hold on the company?The third: Brix Cars reportedly plunges into 30 billion-dollar debt.My jaw dropped lower with each headline I read. I had no idea that Max’s business was suffering this much, let alone the fact that he was no longer the CEO.Why didn't he tell me? Did this mean Gerald was right?Well… there's only one way to find out.I pulled out my phone and called the number saved under legal. “Erm… I’d like to draft a prenuptial agreement.”*****“What’s this?” Max frowned the second I handed the document to him.I kept my distance, a little scared. “Since we are goi
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 164 Unexpected Suspect
~Gerald~I slammed the door in his face. Before turning away, I listened as he stormed off, huffing and puffing about how I was making a huge mistake.“Before you say anything…” I began, looking at Elvis. “Get on the phone with the Russian mafia. I’m sure they would be pleased to know that Angel showed up here.”“No!”“What?” I exclaimed on the way to grab a glass of water.Elvis shook his head. “I don't think it’s a good idea to get involved in the battle between Angel and them. Time and time again, this has always ended with a bloodbath. It was hard enough for you to stay alive all these years despite having many enemies. I can't watch you get involved in a mafia war just because you want to take Angel down.”I sighed. “What do you suggest I do then?”“I suggest we wait. We wait for them to locate Angel and take him out. Since he's roaming without a care in the world, that should be pretty easy.”I shook my head with uncertainty. As far as I knew, Angel was much more powerful than m
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 163 Worthy Contender
~Rosemary~“Boss, are you okay? Boss!” Elvis ran to me as soon as the phone dropped from my hand. He made me sit on the sofa and peered down at my face.His tone changed. “Gerald, are you okay? Should I call the doctor?”I shook my head, clutching my chest. It was as if I was going to have a heart attack. But I knew going to the hospital won't help me.“Was that Rosemary on the phone? What did she say? Why are you like this?”I looked at him. “I don't know what to do, man. She’s getting married to Max again.”“What! How…but your divorce hasn't being finalized. You didn't sign the divorce papers, did you?”“I didn't. But now that she doesn't remember me or the love we shared, I’m afraid Max would make her drag me to court for the divorce. He's manipulating her big time.”I went on to tell him about the wedding photo Rosemary found and how she accused me of faking it and planting it in Max’s house.“This is getting out of hand. Should I tell the boys to take him out?”I groaned. “No. T
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 162 World-class Manipulator
~Rosemary~“H-how is this… how did this…”I couldn't believe my eyes at all. I stared at the woman standing beside Max. She was wearing a very beautiful wedding dress. Most importantly, she wasn't me!She looked like me, but she wasn't me. She was Amani. I was sure of it!“So it’s true? What that man said is true! Max divorced me so he could be with Amani?”The photo slipped off my hands. Taking a step back, I stared down at it. “They even had a wedding. But why did Max propose to me two days ago? And Amani was so happy for me!”What the fuck is going on? Who's playing me for a freaking fool!All of a sudden, the door opened. I turned and saw Max. His eyes widened at the sight of me. He looked at my feet, and his eyes widened even more.“Care to explain?” I asked, folding my arms.I was trying so hard to keep it together. Heaven knows I wanted to jump at him and scratch his face. Another part of me also wanted to just break down crying. This moment reminded me of the heartbreak I su
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 161 Wedding Photo
~Rosemary~Call me insecure, but something didn't sit right about this meeting. First, because Amani showed up here at night. And second because for as long as I could remember, Amani had a thing for Max.She even snatched him from me when we were in high school. It was a miracle that we got married. Was she trying to snatch him yet again?But seeing this beautiful ring now, I realized what a fool I had been. Why did I think that the puppy dating they had in school still meant anything to Max after all the love I showed him since Amani left for college?“Yes!” I screamed, putting out my hand. “I will marry you, Max Smith!”“Really?” Max asked, his eyes lighting up.I nodded vigorously. After he slipped the ring on my finger, I raised my hand and looked at it. The rock was much bigger than the one he gave me when we first married. By the looks of it, it was probably worth millions.“You shouldn't have!” I said, tearing up.Max pulled me into a hug. “You deserve the very best, my love.
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 160 Blindsided Again
~Max~The cold was biting hard. Standing on the lawn, I listened to Amani as she went on and on about her grievances.Just two weeks ago, she had asked for a divorce. I knew it was because of my current financial woes. It hurt a lot that she wanted to leave me. But I begged.I begged her like I had never begged anyone before. She was my life!“I will stay on one condition. Get me everything that Rosemary has,” she had said.At the time, I thought that would be impossible considering the fact that Rosemary hated my guts. But after I received that call ordering me to come to the hospital because my “wife” was admitted there, I thought maybe…maybe it wasn't impossible after all.Although I suspected that Amani had a hand in Rosemary’s accident, I didn't dare to ask her that or even tell Rosemary the truth. I was going to do anything to make Amani stay with me.She agreed to leave the house for a while so I could make Rosemary comfortable with me. The plan was to make her transfer all he
