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
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 049 Stay With Me
~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
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 050 Sleeping Together
~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
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 051 Was That Your Boyfriend?
~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!”
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 052 Striking Resemblance
~Rosemary~“W-what?” I saw Gerald’s sharp jaw drop at my question.Stroking Dine’s soft fur, I bobbed my eyebrows at Gerald. “Why are you acting like you didn’t hear me? Was that your boyfriend, the one I met at the club?”“No!” he answered, looking offended. “And Armando isn’t my boyfriend.”My eyes widened. “He isn’t? I thought—“ “Well, you thought wrong. Armando is just a friend. I’m currently not dating anyone. That’s cheating and it’s against the terms of the contract, remember?”“Oh…” I muttered, remembering the contract we signed almost four years ago. However, I still felt that this call was suspicious. “If that wasn’t your boyfriend… I mean, Armando, why didn’t you speak freely?”The look he gave me next only worsened my suspicion. I didn’t know why, but since Luna came shaking her ass under the guise of welcoming us into the neighborhood, I found myself acting all vigilant for anyone that came close to Gerald, whether male or female. Why was wrong with me?Gerald shoved his

~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
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 159 Midnight Visitor
~Rosemary~My eyes zoomed in on Max’s puckered lips. It was as if I was having a nightmare in a horror film.“No!” I said, turning the other way.Max sniffed. “My love, what’s wrong?”Yeah, what’s wrong with me? I thought I loved him? Or did that man get into my head?“There’s no rush, okay?”I turned to see him smiling awkwardly. I sighed. “I’m sorry, Max. I just…”“I understand perfectly. You don't have to explain yourself. You have just been through something so traumatic. I shouldn't have made such a move.”Aw… He’s so understanding. Seeing his face, I felt even guiltier for thinking about that guy. Why can't I get him off my mind? This isn't fair!“But… I just want you to know that I love you, Rosemary. Although we have had our ups and downs and people have tried to break us apart, we are soulmates.”I nodded, remembering what he said about us having a fight and me getting deceived into divorcing him and remarrying someone else.“Ermm. What was our quarrel about again?”Max scr
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 158 Love Letters
~Rosemary~The man stared at me before taking the burger from me. He smiled. “Thank you.”“Don’t you ever get tired?” I blurted out. He chuckled. “What do you mean?”“Come, sit,” he added, tapping the space on the bench.I hesitated. I didn't even know this man, but here I was, sharing my lunch. There was something warm about him.“Don’t you ever get tired?” I asked again, sitting down on the edge of the bench.I turned, smiling. “I do, Rose.”“But you have been staying out here day and night.”He shrugged. “I wanted to make sure you were all right and I wanted a chance to talk to you. Max banned me from coming close to your ward.”I sighed, placing my hands on my knees. “My husband… I mean, Max doesn't like you. He says you are bad news.”He shook his head. “Honestly… I am not in the least surprised by his behavior.”“Because you are a gigolo who deceived me into marrying you?”He chuckled. But when I looked at his face, he looked sad.“Actually…” he began, turning to face me again.
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 157 Shameless Beggar
~Gerald~Amani gasped. “Of course not! Why would you accuse me of such a thing?”I shrugged. “Maybe because of the fact that you have always been jealous of Rosemary and you have been shamelessly trying to get with me. Or the fact that you are the most evil person I know!”Amani slapped her chest. “That's mean, Gerald! I might not be perfect, but I would never push my own sister off a cliff!”“Oh, cut the crap! Do I have to remind you that you once put honey in her food, slept with her husband, and even stole her baby?”Amani rolled her eyes. “I don't know what you are talking about.”“Typical!”I sucked my teeth and began to walk away.“Wait! I have something else to say,” Amani stopped me.I frowned. “What is it?”“I was thinking..” Amani fiddled with her fingers like a little girl.“Get to the point. I don't have all day!”“Ermm… I was wondering if you could give me some money.”I scoffed. “I don't have money to give you.”“But I heard that you are a billionaire and you own several
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 156 Amnesia
~Gerald~“Rose, it’s me, Gerald. Can you see me now?” I uttered, pulling back so she could see my face.But Rosemary squinted even more. “Why are you in my ward? I don't know who you are, sir.”What! Did I hear wrong?I blinked, then shook my head. “Rose, you are joking right?”“I came as soon as I found out you were here. Why didn't you call me?” I added, sitting on the edge of the bed.Rosemary slowly turned her neck to look at me. “Why would I call you? I don't know you!”“Why do you keep saying that? It’s me, Gerald. Can't you see me?”She frowned. “Look, mister. As you can see, I am not in the right state to be arguing. I need to rest. Leave now before my husband comes and sees you here.”“What!” I sprang to my feet. “Rosemary, please you are taking this joke too far. I am your husband!”“No, you are not!”The second Rosemary raised her voice, I heard the door open behind me.I turned to see who it was.“Max? What the fuck are you doing here?”Max stood frozen at the door with a
