My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 041 Bad Rep
~Rosemary~I ran into my study and turned on my computer. After accessing the home monitoring system, I located the surveillance footage from last night. The video clearly showed Amani behind the wheel of her car. She had paused in front of the house, revved up the engine, then drove right through the picket fence. I edited bits of the footage, concealing mine and Gerald’s face. Thereafter, I sent it to an Instagram gossip blogger through my burner account. The anonymous blogger posted the video on his/her over a million followers page in less than an hour. The tag read, “Influencer and billionaire, Max Smith’s wife, Amani captured driving into a building intentionally. Was she drunk?”The video gained thousands of views and hundreds of comments in a few minutes. Many people slammed Amani. One said: I can’t believe this! How in the hell is she roaming free after such an act? I just saw her entering a cafe when I went for my morning run.Another wrote: Does the law not apply to rich
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 042 Secret Baby
~Rosemary~My hunger vanished as I watched the police car drive away with Amani in it. I made a U-turn back home, intending to cook a feast while I waited for Gerald to return. But as I pulled into the driveway, I saw that the wrecked garage door was now lying on the ground. Also, the front door was ajar.Was Gerald back? Or…or did someone break in?I opened the trunk of my car and took out a huge plier. Then I tiptoed to the door, holding the plier with both hands. “Who is there…”My words trailed off when I peered inside and found Gerald standing in the living room. He wasn’t alone. A woman was standing with her back to me. I looked at her from down up. Her hair was dyed purple and she was wearing a tight singlet and yoga pants that divided her ass strangely. Her thighs were very thin for all that ass…Her doctor needs to be arrested!I frowned, and when Gerald looked over to me, I pushed the door farther open. The woman spun around immediately. Her face fell for a millisecond, but
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 043 Caught In A Lie
~Rosemary~“Let go of me! How dare you!” My mother struggled to pull free, but Gerald held on tight. I turned to him, only to see that the corners of his eyes were twitching.“Ger—“ I began, but his shout interrupted me.“Don’t ever attempt to hit my wife! Otherwise, you will bring out the devil in me. Understand?”My mother’s eyes widened in shock. She looked at Max whose mouth was agape. “Do something, Max. He’s going to break my arm.”“Let her go, you loser!”At Max’s command, I saw Gerald’s eyes slant even more. He kept glaring at my mother. “I said, do you understand!”“Yes, yes! I understand,” she cried, nodding her head.Finally, Gerald let go. I saw a red mark on her wrist instantly. The fearful expression on my mother’s face disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. She held up her hand. “Look at what your gangster of a husband has done to me, Rosemary! I regret having a child like you. Had I known you would bring me so much pain, I wouldn’t have had you. I should have only
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 044 Who Are You?
~Gerald~I almost dropped the glass of whisky in my hand. Shit! What was Rosemary doing here? And I just lied to her!Although Rosemary was smiling, I knew from the look in her eyes that she wasn’t pleased at all. I stood up and put down the glass on the table, thinking of what to say to her.“How nice to meet you here, sir. If you don’t mind, can I take a picture so I can show my husband who’s at HOME?”Hearing her emphasize the last word, I knew I was in hot water. I looked at her with guilty eyes and said, “Rosemary, it’s me, Gerald.”“No…” She shook her head. “That can’t be. My husband is at home working. I just spoke to him on the phone.”I ran my fingers through my hair. “It’s really me. When you called, I… I…”“You lied!” She interjected, frowning slowly. “Why did you lie to me? And who is this?”I followed her eyes to Elvis, who was hiding his face. After a pause, I said, “Oh, this is… Armando.”“Armando?” Her brows knitted again. “The Mexican friend you once told me about?”I
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 045 Running Away Together
~Gerald~“Huh? What do you mean?” I was genuinely confused. Rosemary folded her arms and jerked her chin towards the fallen men. “Where did you learn how to fight like that? I thought you were a softie?”I smiled, picking up her purse. “That was a long time ago.”“So what changed?” Rosemary took the purse from me. “Why did you become tough?”I gazed at her. Seeing the curiosity written all over her face, I took her hand. “Let’s get you out of here first.”“No!” She pulled away. “Why are you always shying away from my questions? You still haven’t told me why you lied to me!”I bit my tongue with regret. Maybe I should just tell her a little about my past. I glanced at the men to make sure they were still down, and then, I said, “Let’s just say that after getting my arms broken by the school’s basketball team, after my head was shoved in the toilet bowl every day, and after I was forced to eat lunch alone in the bathroom, I finally realized that no one was going to save me except me.”
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 046 Online Pity
~Rosemary~My eyes and Gerald’s widened at the same time. Our lips pressed against each other for a decade-long second. Suddenly, we pulled away, our backs hitting the stalls behind us.My face flushed with embarrassment. As I tucked my hair behind my ears, another thunder struck. My heart leaped again. I slapped my chest.I didn’t know I was shaking like a leaf until Gerald suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me closer. He stroked my hair. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep you safe.”Inhaling his scent, I slowly became calm. I felt so safe even as more thunders accompanied by lightning shredded the sky. Shortly after, it began to rain. Gerald pulled away and looked up at the sky. “Those guys must have left by now. We should hurry home before the rain becomes heavy.”“Oh…yes. We should,” I stuttered, my cheeks burning hot as I tried not to stare at the lipstick stain on his lips.Gerald insisted that we take a taxi home, promising to go back to the club for my car tomorrow. The second I walked
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 047 Fear
~Rosemary~I blinked and did a double take. The instant I realized that it was a real gun, I staggered back and then ran for my life. I looked around for a place to hide, but there was none. I was like an exposed mouse in an open field.The car continued to close in on me. Each time I glanced back, I saw that the gun was still pointed at me. I was running towards the end of the jogging track now. There was no soul here.Suddenly, I came to a huge fallen tree. When I tried to jump over it, I stubbed my toe on its bark and fell forward. My forehead hit a branch, sending the nastiest pain throughout my head.I cried out, holding the spot as I attempted to get up. I heard a screeching sound again, then the sound of a door opening and closing. When I opened my eyes, I saw the tall figure walking over with the gun.My heart leaped to my throat. I dragged my butt on the rough ground, pulling backward. As the masked figure came even closer, I screamed, “Please don’t kill me! Please!”The man
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 048 So Thoughtful
~Rosemary~For a long time, I didn’t say anything. I just watched as Gerald made a few more taps on his laptop before closing it and standing up. He finally looked at me. “He wouldn’t be disturbing you anymore. I’ll leave you to rest.”“What are you hiding from me?” I blurted out.Gerald, who had just turned away, spun back around. I noticed that his thick eyebrows were raised, but his eyes didn’t indicate confusion.“What are you hiding from me, Gerald?” I repeated when he didn’t say anything.As I walked up to him, he avoided my eyes. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”“You do!” I stated firmly. “I could barely recognize you just now. Have you always been so ruthless?”“Ruthless?”I pressed my temples. “I’m sorry, I meant to say harsh… I thought you weren’t going to send the nude images to his wife.”Gerald shook his head and looked at me with pity. “Rosemary, could you please put yourself first for once? Besides, his wife deserves to know the dog she’s married to, don’t y

~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
