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

~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.”

~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

~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

~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~My heart was filled with hope as I swiped the phone screen. “H-hello…”“Thank goodness you answered!” she said.“W-why did you call, Mom?”I heard the ruffling of wraps from the other end before her voice came again. “I’m gonna send you an account number now. Transfer the sum of 152k there right away.”“What!” I thought I must have heard wrong.“Send 152k to the account number I will text you. I’m currently shopping in Paris, but there's something wrong with my card and I can’t reach Max or Amani. They must be busy celebrating Amani’s birthday.”My heart dropped to my stomach. I choked on a sob, “Mom, have you forgotten that today is my birthday too? Why do you hate me yet want my money?”“Don’t even start. Just send me the money and I will buy you a gift.”At her audacity, I scoffed, “You want me to pay for my own gift? You must really take me for a fool—”Suddenly, a hand snatched the phone from me. “She will not send you shit!”I looked to the side and saw Gerald standin

~Gerald~I froze, then turned around slowly. “What did you say?”“Stay with me. Please…”Her voice was so low now. When I looked at her face, I saw that she was crying again. My heart ached, thinking of how much she must be hurting. But I…“I don’t think that would be a good idea, Rosemary.”She sulked. “Why?”I scratched the back of my neck, feeling blood rushing down to my pelvis. “I…I love to sleep with no clothes on, so it’s not—““Take them off,” she interrupted.My mouth instantly dropped open. “Huh?”She gripped my hand tighter. “Take your clothes off. I don’t mind at all. I just don’t want to be alone tonight.”For a good minute, I didn’t know what to do. But when I saw her blink cutely, I didn’t have the heart to say no. I slowly unbuttoned my shirt. As I took it off, I saw that Rosemary’s gaze lingered on my abs and she drew a sharp breath. My skin warmed up as I stripped down to my underwear and got into bed. The moment I was under the covers and inhaled the scent of her p

~Gerald~Max smirked with only one side of his lips. He looked past my shoulder. “I see Mounty was stupid enough to hire you for their car operating system. It’s bound to be a failure.”“Oh, really?” I chuckled, remaining calm even though he came closer and stared me in the eye as if he wanted to pick a fight.He raised his head arrogantly. “You know nothing about cars, Gerald. I have been in this game even before I said my first word. Sneaker is going to be the star of the show. Why don’t you take a walk now instead of embarrassing yourself here?”“Tsk, tsk, tsk! It’s unwise to count your chickens before they hatch, don’t you think?”As soon as I said that, I saw his eyes darken. A vein appeared on his forehead as he pointed, “Wanna bet?”“Bet?” I laughed. “What could you possibly give me that I don’t already have? Even if you offer me hundreds of cars, I’d rather walk.”He balled his fingers into a trembling fists. “Just wait and see. I’ll show you how things are done around here!”

~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
