My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 090 Drowned
~Rosemary~Immediately, I dived in fully clothed. The cold water sent a chill through my entire body, but I swam over to Henny in seconds.“Henny,” I called, spitting out a mouthful of water.Henny’s whole body was soaking wet and his eyes were shut. I held him against my bosom and climbed up the ledge on the other side.My heart was thudding in my ears as I laid down him on the floor and unbuttoned his shirt. I put a finger under this nose, but I didn't feel anything.“Wake up, Henny! Wake up!” I screamed, pressing his chest.I heard the nurse run over to me. “Move aside. Let me do this.”Frantically, I continued to press his chest. “Open your eyes, please! Henny!”The nurse pushed me aside and got on her knees. She checked his pulse, then lowered her head to give him mouth-to-mouth.I shivered on the floor, wailing loudly. “Henny! Please wake up! Open your eyes! I promise to be your mommy. Just open your eyes for me okay?”Just then, Henny coughed out water. He let out a cry.“Oh, m

~Rosemary~I blinked, sniffing hard. “What about Susan?”“Actually…” Gerald drawled. “Susan is not as sick as you think?”I frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“I mean, she doesn't have stage-4 breast cancer. In fact, she only has chronic hypertension.”“Eh?” I stopped wiping my tears and looked at Gerald sharply. “She doesn't have cancer? How can that be? She said so herself that she's dying. I even saw how bad she looked because of chemo. How can you say that she doesn't—”“I saw her hospital records, Rose. I am dead sure that she doesn't have cancer or anything close to that. She's faking it.”Immediately, I sprang to my feet. I shook my head. “No, that can't be. Susan is one of the most trustworthy people I know. She would never lie about such a thing. Come to think of it…”I stopped pacing and looked at him. “How in the world did you get her hospital records? You are no doctor.”Gerald slowly stood up. “It doesn't matter how I got them. What matters is the fact that Susan is

~Rosemary~“I am the mother of a preemie? W-what are you talking about? I don't have any kids,” I stammered, taking a step back.Martha took a step further. “Are you out of your mind? You have a son. I saw you with my own two eyes when you were rushed into the hospital in a pool of blood. The doctors induced you and your child was born premature. Many people thought he was going to die, but I saved him. I took care of him in the NICU for one week before I was suddenly fired for no just cause. How can you deny it now!”My back hit the wall. I shook my head, tears flooding my eyes. “You must have me mistaken for someone else. I miscarried my son four years ago. He died in my belly. They had to do a D&C.”All of a sudden, she stopped. Her brows furrowed as if she was thinking. Just when I thought she was about to come back to her senses, she shot me another red-hot glare. “You lie! You are denying it because your son made me lose my job. I came homeless because of him, Dr. Luke, and the

~Gerald~Rosemary’s scream reverberated in the hallway. I rushed over to her and held her. “What’s wrong?”Her body trembled against my chest. When I looked at her face, I saw that she looked like she had seen a ghost. I followed her line of vision.And that was when I saw it…A body was hanging down a fan. It was that of the homeless woman. She was foaming in the mouth. Not only that, her skin looked grey and her eyes were wide open but lifeless. I put my hand over Rosemary’s eyes and turned her around. “Let’s get you out of here.”“No!” Rosemary pushed my hand away and ran into the ward. “You can't die now! You still haven't told me everything! Do I really have a son? Who took him? Why did I never see him?”When she reached out to touch the woman’s dangling feet, I grabbed her hand and hugged her. “You shouldn't be looking at this.”Rosemary thumped my chest. “Let me go! I have many questions for her!”“I will find the answers for you. I’ll move mountains if I have to. Just let me

~Gerald~I sat up immediately, holding Rosemary’s waist. “You are drunk. Let’s get you to bed.”Rosemary’s smile brightened. “We don't have to use the bed. You can fuck me here on the living room floor. I don't mind.”I grabbed her hand which had just undid one of my buttons. Flipping over, I carefully moved her away from my crotch. “Well, I do mind.”She slapped my chest. “Stop acting so shy. I know you want to be inside me. I have seen the way you look at me.”Groaning, I held her other hand as it wandered below. “I don't want you to do something you will regret, Rose. I love you, and it's my duty to protect you, not take advantage of you.”She belched, closing her eyes. When she opened them again, she smiled. “What’s your name, handsome?”I frowned. “Gerald…Beckett?”“Beckett?” she repeated in a groggy voice. “You have the same surname as me. Who are you? My brother?”What!She pointed, her neck unstable. “Cousin?”I nodded. “Yes, yes. I am your cousin. You are drunk so I came to t

~Rosemary~“Oh, Rosemary! We were just talking about you!” Susan said the second I walked through the door.I forced a smile. “I’m so sorry that my visits have been less frequent this past week. I had something very pressing on my plate.”Susan waved. “No need to apologize. I understand. In fact, I went ahead with the preparations on your behalf.”What! This again? Is Max kidding me right now?“How is Henny?” I changed the topic. “I heard he has been discharged from the hospital.”Susan nodded and took my hand. “I didn't have the chance to thank you the other day. Thanks for saving my grandson, Rosemary. If you hadn't brought him out of the water that day, who knows what would have happened.”She shivered with a look of dread.I sighed. “You don't have to thank me. Henny is my nephew, and it’s my duty as his aunty to protect him.”“And with the wedding, you can be his mother. That way, you can protect him even more.”Despite the enthusiasm on Susan’s face, I said, “Henny already has a

~Rosemary~I couldn't breathe. The dress I was wearing suddenly felt heavier than it already was. I began to bake in it too.“What boyfriend?” Susan asked again.I forced a smile. “Susan, I...Actually, I…”“She doesn't have a boyfriend.”Suddenly, I heard Max's voice. I looked toward the door and saw him come in. He looked a little thinner and smaller than he usually was. On his face was a solemn expression that I rarely saw.He went over to Susan and kissed her on the cheek. “Mom, Henny is just mistaking one of Rosemary’s employees as her boyfriend.”“Oh…” The worried expression on Susan’s face instantly melted. She reached over and pinched Henny’s cheeks playfully. “Naughty boy…”“Come on, Mom. I got you something. It's in the garden.”As Max led his mother out, he shot me a look that clearly said, “We need to talk.”“Rose, is Mr. Gerald not your boyfriend?” Henny curiously asked once we were alone.I put him down and looked at his face. “He’s not just my boyfriend, but you don't ha

~Gerald~When I looked at Rosemary and saw her face flushing with guilt, I felt a pang of pain in my heart. It was indeed a wedding dress. And it must have been from that woman.I threw the dress to the floor, my blood boiling slowly. I raked my hair with five fingers in a bid to quell my swelling anger.But that shit didn't work this time!“This is getting out of hand, Rosemary. And I am not cool with it. I never have been. I know you are avoiding telling her because you think it’s best—”“I don't think it’s best.” Rosemary looked up.“Fine. Just let me finish. I know you don't want to tell her you are married—”“I want to!”I pressed my temple and exhaled. “What I am just trying to say is this, I can't keep up with the pretense. Amani and Max are trying to rope you into doing their bidding. Don't let them. You are stronger than this.”“I know. But Susan is like a mother to me. I am doing this for her.”“By accepting a wedding dress?” Rosemary sulked. “It’s not a real one. Just a s

My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 170 A June Wedding
~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

~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

~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
