My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 097 Fingering
~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

~Gerald~I clasped my hands together. “I come in peace.”“Get lost!” Then she slammed the door in my face.I froze on the spot, my mouth agape.What just happened? And who is that woman? I came all the way here only to be told off? Ain't no way!I banged the door with my fist. “I didn't come here to cause any trouble. I came to see Doctor Luke Silverman. I know he lives here!”“He doesn't! Get lost!”I scoffed. “Miss, I drove several miles to this place. The least you can do is open the door and speak to me. I am unarmed and I would not do anything to hurt you.”“That’s exactly what a criminal would say!”I opened my mouth to argue. But damn, she was right! I paced about on the front porch. What do I do? Suddenly, I snapped my fingers. I stopped and went back to the door.I knocked it gently and said, “Just give me thirty minutes of your time. I will pay you a hundred thousand dollars.”I listened. But all I heard was crickets. Shit! Money always works. What’s her deal? Was she re
Last Updated : 2024-08-16My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 099 Stop Looking
~Gerald~I stopped, glancing at the black car which had just rammed into the sign on the road.Smoke was coming out of the hood and I could barely see anything. I got out and walked back briskly.Immediately I got close, I heard someone cough sickeningly. I waved the smoke, then opened the driver’s side door. “Get out!” I commanded, looking at the figure who was resting his head against the steering wheel.He didn't move.I gripped his collar and dragged him out impatiently. I pressed him against the car and looked at his face.“Who the fuck are you?” I asked, seeing that he looked nothing like Luke or anyone I knew.He looked like an eighteen-year-old kid!“Hahaha!” he burst out laughing, showing off scattered teeth.“What’s so funny?”“You wrecked my car!” he spat.I looked at the hood of the car which was now badly dented. But from the looks of it, it would still run. “Why were you following me, kid? Who sent you?”He snarled. “Argh!”Out of the blue, something flashed in the sun

~Rosemary~My body trembled uncontrollably. I sank to the floor. The image flashed through my head again and again.When I felt Gerald’s arms around me, I melted into his chest, holding on to his shirt.“Someone killed Martha, right? It wasn't suicide was it? Is it because of what she told me? The person sent me that photo, right? Did they kill her because she told me that my son is alive?” “Ermm… I don't know for sure. But it seems so.”I looked up. “What if the person that killed her has my baby? Huh?”Gerald merely rubbed my back.“What if they want to kill me because they don't want me to look for him?” I choked, my face getting wet with tears.Gerald wrapped his arms even tighter. “No harm will come to you, Rose. I will protect you with my life if I have to.”His words were assuring. However, I couldn't put the photo out of my mind. “Someone killed her! I thought she committed suicide. But she was killed, Gerald. Aren't you scared?”I closed my eyes as he kissed my forehead.“I

~Gerald~“Really?”I got off the desk, almost bumping into Rosemary. We stood opposite each other with only the phone between us.“Yes,” Luke’s wife said, her voice urgent. “How soon can you come? I think my husband was involved in fraud or some sort.”“We are on our way right now!” Rosemary said before I could even think.Luke’s wife asked in confusion. “Who’s that?”“No one. See you in an hour,” I said, then hung up.I felt something burn my forehead. When I looked up, I saw that Rosemary was staring daggers at me.“So I am no one?”Smiling, I put my arm around her shoulders. “Of course not! I didn't tell her yet that her husband might be involved in the disappearance of a baby. I didn't want to scare her, or else she would refuse to give me the time of day.”“Fine. But if the clue she found is very damning, we have to tell her.”“We?” I raised a brow. “You can't be serious about going there.”“I am coming with you, Gerald. Just give me a minute to get changed.”I pulled her back as
Last Updated : 2024-08-18My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 102 Last Warning
~Rosemary~I tapped my knees impatiently as Luke’s wife took her time to answer. “Actually…” she began. “The night before my husband disappeared, he left the house and returned the next morning without any explanation. He seemed to be a little tense. I thought it had something to do with his depression, but now, maybe I was wrong.”Gerald spoke first. “Wait, let me get this straight… Before Luke disappeared, he left the house in the dead of the night?”She shook her head. “Not exactly the dead of the night. He left at dusk but stayed out until the next morning. He doesn't drink or party and he has never stayed out before except for when he was still working as a doctor. So... That's strange, right?”I nodded. “I think your husband has something to do with the murder of Martha.”At this moment, I saw the last spark in her eyes extinguish. I sighed. “I’m not saying he killed her, but as you said, his behavior leading up to that moment is strange.”She nodded. “I understand.”“Can I tak

~Gerald~“Don’t go near it! Something else might be in there. What if it blows up?” Rosemary shouted when I squatted near the box.I looked back at her as she pulled away fearfully. “It’s fine.”While Rosemary whimpered, I picked up one of the dolls. The head dropped almost immediately. It seemed its neck had been twisted. I picked up the male doll and saw it was in the same state as the female one. My eyes narrowed in on the text which was written in red paint. Last warning? Was this connected to that teenager who stabbed me yesterday?My palms and fingers were smeared by the red paint as my grip tightened around the dolls. I scoffed.Someone was biting more than they could chew. How dare they!“I think we should call the police,” Rosemary piped up again fearfully.I dumped the dolls in the box and stood up. Wiping my hand with a few pieces of tissue, I turned around and finally said, “I don’t think that would be necessary.”“Why?” Rosemary pointed at the box. “That’s not an ordina

~Rosemary~“Sorry, I didn't think you would be back so—”“Shh… I’m not complaining, am I?” Gerald pressed a finger against my swollen lips. I smiled, watching as his eyes went to my boobs again.“What you looking at?” Gerald’s head shot up. “Huh? N-nothing. I just…”I brushed my fingers over my boobs. “You can touch it if you want.”Gerald looked at me with hesitation.I nodded, taking a step closer.Slowly, he reached out.I bit my lower lip the second I felt his warm touch. Jeez! This man will be my undoing.“I want you, Rosemary. I want you to now.”Gerald’s words sounded like music to my ears.I jumped on him, pressing my breasts against his chest.Without hesitation, he scooped me up, squeezing my butt hard.I giggled as my back hit the small bed. I gripped his shirt the moment he came closer. As I tore it off him, he kissed me again.“You sure about this?”I nodded.Gerald smiled. He slipped a finger underneath my panties, working his way to my core.I collapsed back to the be

~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
