My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 053 Carbon Copy
~Rosemary~There must be something wrong with my eyes! I thought, rubbing them hard. But as the boy ran towards me, I realized he did actually look like Max. No kidding, it was as if Max spat him out!Suddenly, he tripped on a stick. I immediately lunged forward with my arms stretched out. I caught him just in time. However, the next second, I lost my balance. As I fell, I tilted my body to the side so he wouldn’t get hurt.When I hit the ground, I felt my knee snap. I couldn’t help but groan in pain. The little boy got up and tilted his head while looking down at me. “Are you okay?”“Of course, I am Wonder Woman.” Smiling, I sat up and flexed my non-existent muscles. “Are you okay?”He simply nodded. After staring at his face, I noticed that he was looking at my knee. I looked down and saw a fresh bruise. Before I could do anything, he lowered his head and blew on it gently.“My grandma always does this when I get hurt. Does it still hurt?”I shook my head, still taken aback by the
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 054 Surprising Wish
~Rosemary~I sat on the floor and read the note. “Dear Rosemary, I know it’s not in my place to tell you what to do with your life, but I just wanted to say that this isn’t the end of the road. There’s so much that life has in store for you. It might not seem like it now, but believe me, I have been there before. Once, I was in such a dark place and you held my hand. Now, it’s my turn to hold yours. Allow me. Love, Gerald Beckett.”A single tear dropped on the paper by the time I finished reading it. I picked up the other stuff in the brown wrapper. When I flipped it over, I saw that it was a frame with the engraving of the name I had picked for my son four years ago.I rubbed it with my fingers, my sorrow mixing with longing. How long had these been in here? When did Gerald make them?I stood up and made a beeline for the door. The moment I opened it, I saw Gerald sitting on the threshold. He stood up immediately and dusted his butt. “You okay? You were crying for so long.”I raised
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 055 Barren Witch
~Rosemary~He has been waiting for me? Why did he expect me to be here? I thought he didn’t know who I was?I looked down at Henny who was smiling up at me. There was a parting on the side of his blonde hair that was slicked down. He was wearing a white shirt, white pants, a brown bow tie, and brown suspenders. He looked like a cute little man from the 1930s.I squatted to his level and smiled. “Hi, Henny. We meet again—”“What took you so long? Your twin sister, my mommy arrived early.”“H-how did you know that we’re twins?” I asked, still shocked.“You two look so much alike,” he replied matter-of-factly. “But you are more beautiful.”My jaw dropped further.“There’s a lot of sweet cakes inside.” He took a huge bite from the chocolate cake in his hand and then held it out. “You want some?”I shook my head. “No, thank you.”He shrugged and munched with relish. When I saw the smudge of chocolate on his cheek, I took out a piece of tissue paper from my bag and reached out.“Ya! Don’t y
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 056 Former Mother-in-law
~Rosemary~In the evening, Gerald pulled me out of my bedroom to watch TV. One of the most popular Saturday shows was on, but I didn’t even know what was happening. My mind kept going back to my mother’s lies. How ungrateful could she be? And Amani, how did she feel after being praised for doing nothing? Wait, who was I kidding? Of course, she enjoyed it!“Here, have some popcorn.” Gerald’s voice jolted me back to reality.I took over the huge bowl of popcorn that I hadn’t reached for since Gerald made it over an hour ago.“Thank you,” I said, throwing a flake into my mouth. I had just leaned back on the sofa when the doorbell rang. A voice called out almost immediately, “Hello, anybody home?”The smile on my face instantly disappeared. I leaped to my feet and ran to the door. Sure enough, when I looked through the peephole, I saw Luna’s Botox-filled face.“Who’s at the door?” Gerald asked, coming over.He opened the door before I could respond. I stamped my feet. What did she want n
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 057 Big Fight
~Gerald~I had brought Rosemary here so we could unwind and spend some quality time together. If I had known Amani would be here, I would have just stayed home. This woman was making my skin crawl!“It’s just sunscreen, Gerald,” Amani pestered, shoving a tube into my hand. “Just rub it on my ass and back. No big deal.”Frowning, I threw the sunscreen back at her. “I’m a married man. Why would I do such a thing for someone who isn’t my wife?”“You’re no fun, Gerald. It’s not as if I’m asking you to undress me.” As she spoke, she played with the strap of her extremely small bikini. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’m sure if I go to the men over there, they would jump at it.”“Go to them then!” I snarled. “Listen here, Amani. I don’t know what you are trying to do here, but your plan will NOT work!”“Oh, come on. Don’t tell me you are fine with only fucking Rosemary.” She touched my chest briefly and I felt utterly disgusted.She bit her lower lip. “I know my sister can be li
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 058 Jezebel
~Amani~Eighteen years ago.“Try these on, Rosie. I think it’s going to be just perfect.” Mom pulled Rosemary close and helped her put on a new set of white ballerina shoes. I watched from a corner as Rosemary stood on her tippy toes and swirled.Mom clapped excitedly. “You are going to set the stage on fire, baby girl!”I saw Rosemary smile brightly and do a curtsy, holding the hem of her new white dress. With a frown, I said, “Why does she get new shoes while I have to wear my old ones?”Finally, my mother’s attention moved away from my twin sister. “Oh, Amani. Your sister is headlining the dance recital, remember? Besides, your fuschia pink pointe shoes are still good. Wear them!”I stamped my feet. “But I want new ones! I want white ones just like Rosie’s!” “Enough, young lady!” She snapped her fingers at me. “Ordinary dancers don’t get to wear white shoes. That’s the rule. Be good or I will report you to your father!”I peeled back behind the shelf in the corner. With my face bu
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 059 Recording
~Rosemary~How could he? How could he come into my life and sweep me off my feet, only to cheat on me with my twin sister? Didn’t he promise to always hold my hand? Didn’t he swear that he was nothing like Max?Men are scum!There was a pit in my stomach as I drove away. How I managed to get to my hotel safely was a mystery to me. I wiped the tears that were blinding me and walked to the front desk.“You know my husband, don’t you?”The receptionist nodded. “Yes, I do, ma’am.”“If he comes here looking for me, tell him I’m not here, okay?”She looked taken aback, but she nodded.I took the key to one of the suites and went up. As soon as I made it into the room, I broke down in tears. I crawled to the bed and buried my face in a pillow. Amidst my muffled cries, I kept seeing the moment Gerald and Amani kissed at the beach. I saw how surprised he looked when I caught them.I know our marriage was contractual, but why did he not have any respect for me? Why did it have to be my sister?
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 060 Catching Feelings
~Rosemary~My breath went out of me as I froze with my mouth open. What did he just say? That he was in love with someone else?Who? I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t bring myself to. I didn’t know why, I just dreaded the answer. Maybe he would say it was one of his coworkers. Or maybe someone he knew before he even met me. I hadn’t thought to ask him if he was single before I proposed to him. Now, there was only three years left before the contract expired.When I looked up at Gerald again, something strange happened. I felt fear. Not the fear of Gerald. But the fear of losing him. Did this… did this mean that… Oh, God! No!I thought I had locked my heart and thrown away the key. But now, it dawned on me that it had been open all along. I have completely fallen for this man!My breathing shook. How could I let this happen? I thought it was just a crush because he was good-looking? I didn’t—“Rose, there’s something I need to tell you.”I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Gerald

~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
