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

~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

~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

~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

~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

~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
Last Updated : 2024-05-11My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 016 It's Showtime
~Rosemary~My mother gasped and slapped her chest. Her eyes were bulging out of the sockets as she stared at Gerald. "What did you just say to me?"Gerald's voice came out calm but annoyed. "I said, you need to leave. You've overstayed your welcome.""How dare you!" Mom pointed at him. "This is my daughter's house. You have no right to tell me to leave, you pauper!"My head suddenly began to ache. I sank to my knees helplessly. I knew my mother wasn't going to go down without a fight. This was going to be one hell of a long day."Say all you want, but you are the trespasser here. I won't have you causing my wife any more distress. Leave before I call the cops."Strangely, my mother became quiet. I was expecting her next shout to shake the entire apartment. But to my greatest surprise, she snorted. "I will be back, you two. I'll be back!"Then, she stormed out.I burst into tears all over again as I watched her leave. Gerald squatted by my side and resumed patting my back. "Don't let w
Last Updated : 2024-05-12My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 017 Narcissist
~Rosemary~I took another bite off my sandwich and crossed my legs leisurely. This seemed to annoy Max even more. He walked over to the desk and slapped it with both hands. He gave me a murderous glare before continuing, "Are you out of your damn mind? Why the fuck did you buy the land I wanted to use for the expansion of my factory?"Calmly, I took a sip of my now-cold coffee and then cleared my throat. "One of the rules of this world is 'first come, first serve'. No one is obligated to wait for you, Mr. Max Smith!""By the way, didn't I warn you never to step foot in this hotel again?" I added before he could utter a word.Max's face turned red. "It's a free world. I can go wherever I want. You can't stop me!""Oh, yes, I can! This is private property, not some park you can just stroll into!" I uncrossed my legs.He snorted. "I didn't come here to trade words with you, Rosemary. I have had my eyes on that land for a long time. Hand it over to me right now!"I chuckled. "And why woul

~Rosemary~A year later.“Are you nervous? Getting cold feet?”I blinked when I heard that voice. Sitting in front of the mirror, I looked at Sabrina who was styling my hair. “No, I am not nervous.”She sighed and stared straight at me. “So why have you zoned out more than three times since I started doing your hair? Something else bothering you?”I shook my head slightly. “I was just...just thinking about how different today would have been if my mom, dad, and Amani were here.”“Ugh!” Sabrina gagged. “How can you think of those fools on such a beautiful day?”My head lowered and I inhaled deeply.“Come on, girl. Forget about those folks. It’s not your fault that they were jerks. You have kept your mom out of your life for a year. Don't allow her into your heart again.”I raised my head. Then nodded. “Okay. I won't.”It had been more than a year since Amani committed suicide with the large dose of fentanyl she had on herself when she was arrested. And it had been seven months since my
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 169 Disown
~Rosemary~I pricked up my ear after Gerald removed the call from speakerphone and then said a few words. Although I didn't hear anything more, I was fairly certain it had to do with me.“I am coming with you,” I said as soon as he ended the call.Gerald shook his head. “No, you can't. Let me handle this.”“You are not the boss of me.”I took a deep breath, realizing that I was getting worked up. “I’m sorry. I—”“It’s fine. I can only imagine how you must be feeling now. But you don't have to follow me to the station.”“I do. And I want to. I want to look her in the eye and ask her why she did that to me. I also want to see Max and Amani. I want all of them to know that despite everything they did to me, they cannot break me.”Gerald stared at me, and I saw more reluctance in his eyes.“She deserves that much, Gerald,” Elvis chipped in. “After all she has been through recently, she deserves to look at her enemies in the eye.”Gerald said to him, “Stay out of this. Please.”“I know you
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
