My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 030 Blown Cover?
~Gerald~“Hop in!” Rosemary said. Unlocking the passenger door. It was past eight and she had insisted on picking me up even after I told her I stopped by the company to get some work done last minute. I had indeed gone to G-Tech, but not to work. It was my day off, actually.Anyway. I got into the car and fastened my seatbelt. Rosemary stepped on the gas after getting back into the road. I glanced at her and saw that she was wearing a serious expression. The silence suddenly made me feel uneasy. I stared out the window, but my mind was flooded with worry. Was she mad at me for saying I was going for a walk and then went to the company? But I only left to go help her…“So tell me, what was so urgent that it couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning?”“Huh?” I turned my head sharply, stunned by the sudden question.Rosemary gave me a serious look. “You said you were just going for a walk. How come you ended up at “work” instead?”I scratched my head. “Ermm… I was called to handle something
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 031 Threat
~Gerald~I sat up on the bed abruptly. The sleep cleared off my eyes. I was wearing only black shorts. The air conditioner had been on full blast while I was sleeping, but now, I was sweating. How in the world did Max get that special number?Yes, I was X-crow. Although Elvis handled my email account and he was the one who responded to Max’s outrageous request the other day, my special number was one that I reserved to communicate with a selected few. When not in use, I left it in Elvis’s care for safety reasons. How come Max got it? And what did he mean by he knows everything about me? Like everything everything?I threw on a shirt and went into the bathroom. There, I turned on the tap and left it to run. It wasn’t guaranteed that I would be able to keep my voice down enough. I didn’t want Rosemary to hear me.“Is that the only text he sent? And when exactly was this?” I asked Elvis, sitting on the edge of the tub.I heard a few clicks from his end, and then he said, “It came about
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 032 Domineering Crackdown
~Gerald~This new threat set off something inside me. My grip on the phone tightened as I read the text over and over.Son of a bitch! He would reveal my identity if I didn’t do his bidding? How dare he!I thumped my fist on the desk hard. No one, not even my longest-standing rivals, had ever dared to say such words to me. Yet, Max Smith, that swine… that…My body vibrated as fury coursed through my veins. I must show that idiot that he has bitten more than he can chew. Whether he knows everything or not, he’s not getting away with this!I dialed Elvis. Once he answered, I ordered, “Gather the spies. Now!”I hung up the phone and stood up from my desk. On the way out of the Software Engineering department, Mr. Hanks popped out of nowhere. “And where do you think you are going?”I spared him a glance. “There has been an emergency, sir. I have to leave now.”Mr. Hanks stood in my way. I tried to walk past him, but he stretched out his legs with his arms akimbo. “It’s not even noon yet a
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 033 Sick Wife
~Gerald~I leaned back in the chair, keeping the phone on the desk in front of me. The next second, I heard a thump and then Elvis growled, “Speak! Tell my boss what you just told us!”“I…I really don’t know anything. Please spare me!”The voice was Max’s, but I found it surprising that the man who was usually snarky and arrogant now sounded like a squeaky rat whose life was flashing before his eyes. I smiled a little. How the mighty has fallen…“Didn’t you say you would reveal everything about me to the world? How come you are saying you know nothing now? Do you take me for a fool?” I roared.“No, no, no!” Max cried. “I was only fibbing. I thought threatening to expose your identity would make you change your mind about working with me. I really don’t know anything aside from that you are American, and I don’t even have proof for that. It’s not true, is it?”I heard a slap and then another cry. “I’m sorry. Sorry. Please don’t kill me.”Elvis shouted, “Shut the fuck up!”In an instant
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 034 Black Card
~Gerald~I stifled a laugh, looking at Max as he came closer. Earlier, when Elvis told me he had gotten Max to talk, I didn’t know they had beaten him to this extent. Aside from the bruises on his face and arm, I saw that one of his eyes was swollen shut. He looked like he had been run over by a train and then stung by a bee.Amani was wearing the disgusted frown she always wore whenever she saw me. “And what are you doing here?”I raised a brow. “Who are you again?”Amani eyed me and then turned to Max who said, “You loser, were you just about to enter this office? Are you on drugs or something? This isn’t a place for you to be!”“Oh, really?” I stopped with my hand on the doorknob. “If you ask me, I have just as much right as you do to be in this hospital.”Max laughed. “Do you have any idea how much treatment costs in here? This hospital is only for the top 1% in this city!”I smirked, shaking my head. Could this man be any more delusional and annoying? Anyway…“I haven’t got time
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 035 Her Husband’s Keeper
~Rosemary~All four heads turned in my direction as I dragged my feet while holding the wall for support. Max and Amani frowned when they saw me. On the other hand, Gerald rushed over to me. “Hey, what are you doing out here? I told you to stay in bed.”I gripped his arm and leaned on him, feeling breathless. “You were taking so long. I had to come check what was wrong.”Gerald took a deep breath. He slung my arm over his shoulders and held my waist gently. “Let’s get you back to bed.”“Security! Don’t let him get away! He has a patient’s card in his possession!” Max shouted just as we were about to leave.I stopped and looked at him, noticing for the first time how wounded he was. What in the world happened to him? Was he in an accident? Was he okay? He must be in so much pain…As pity began to creep into my heart, Amani walked up to us and snarled, “How does it feel knowing that you married a thief, Rosemary?”I looked away from Max. Staring at my sister, I stuttered, “W-what did you
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 036 Big Surprise
~Rosemary~I opened my eyes slowly. My vision was a little blurry, so I rubbed my eyes and opened them again. Only then did I see a small but beautiful one-story building in front of me. I turned to Gerald. “Where’s the surprise?”Gerald opened his arms wide. “This is it, Rosemary. This is our new house!”“Our new house?” I uttered, hella confused. I looked around, only to realize that this neighborhood was familiar. Wait, are my eyes playing tricks on me? Wasn’t this the estate where Max’s house is located? “What’s going on, Gerald? Why did you bring me here?”Gerald’s smile faded a little. He gestured to the house again. “I just bought this house. It’s ours now.”“You are kidding!” I still couldn’t believe my ears. I looked between him and the house. “You bought this? How is that even possible?”The brightness of Gerald’s smile returned and I could have sworn that I saw him blushing with pride as he explained, “Earlier this week, I put my photography catalog up for sale and got a g
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 037 Business War Kickoff
~Gerald~My lips were about to collide into hers when the ringtone suddenly interrupted the moment. I groaned and tried to hold on to her, but Rosemary pulled away and walked over to her bag which she had dumped on the shelf by the doorway. I rubbed my nose, trying to suppress the heat that was about to consume me. While at it, I heard Rosemary say her best friend’s name on the phone.“What a spoilsport! Why did she have to call now?” I muttered under my breath, but then felt guilty. I shouldn’t be mad at Sabrina. After all, how could she have known that Rosemary and I were having a moment?I raked my hair and walked up the stairs. After putting a safe space between Rosemary and I, the heat inside me slowly subsided. I stood on the upstairs balcony and watched Rosemary intently. She had one hand on her waist as she did slow half-spins like a little girl.My smile returned when she mentioned my name and praised me. Holding the railing, I said silently, “This is just the beginning, Rose

~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
