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
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 061 Up A Notch
~Rosemary~“I was thinking. Maybe I could buy—” Suddenly, I was interrupted by my phone ringing. I took it out of my purse and frowned. Although the number was unsaved, I knew it far too well.“What!” I spat, bile rising to my throat.An annoying voice came from the other end. “Do you have any idea how much that fence cost me?”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “Do you have any idea how much the land cost me? You tried to steal part of it. Yet, you have the nerve to be mad that I broke it down.”“Rosemary!” Max roared. “That land was supposed to be mine!”“But it’s not! I bought it with my hard-earned money. Now, if you would excuse me, I have to get back to checking the progress of the resort I am building—”“Listen, woman.” I heard his voice increase further as he said, “No matter how many resorts or hotels you build, you will never be more successful than me! You’ll always remain the poor little bitch I married out of pity and dumped!”These words were like a punch to my stomach. Once M
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 062 Throwing Hands
~Gerald~Nothing gave me more joy now than seeing Rosemary spit fire at Max. I saw his face drop as he let go of Amani and sat at the table close by.“You think just because I was stupid to give up everything to be with you, I would remain below you forever? Newsflash! I’ll come for everything you have. Brix Cars? That's going to be ancient history soon. Just watch!”That's my girl! I almost shouted excitedly, watching Rosemary with my hand under my chin. The fire in her eyes was the same one I had seen more than three years ago. Now, I was sure that I did the right thing by giving her a stake at Mounty and setting aside the money she “paid” for it. If I had my way, I would give her everything on the spot.“You’re such a braggart, sis,” Amanj suddenly spoke up. “You don’t know shit about cars. How stupid of you to buy shares in that company. Anyway, I won’t be surprised if Mounty goes under soon. Everything you touch dies.”Rosemary laughed, much to my surprise. “My dear sister, this
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 063 Kissing Again
~Rosemary~All my pent-up anger came rushing to the surface now. I clenched and unclenched my burning hand as I slowly walked over to Amani who was staggering back. Glaring at her, I yelled, “Your betrayal cost me my baby, yet you never fail to rub it in. How dare you!”She stretched out her free hand. “Don’t come any closer, you bitch!”“What did you just call me?” I stopped.“Bitch!” she spat. “I said what I said!”I laughed, my rage boiling over. My eyes dimmed the next second. I took another swipe at her.“That’s enough!” Gerald suddenly said, grabbing my waist and pulling me away.I kicked the air and threw my hands. “Allow me! I need to beat the shit out of her!”Gerald carried me out of the bathroom without a word. I continued to struggle, but it was useless.“Why did you stop me from teaching her a lesson?” I panted with rage as soon as we got home.Gerald locked the door before turning to me. “I did it for your own good.”“For my own good?” I stamped my feet. “Amani has been

~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

~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
