~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~Gerald suddenly held my wrist. He whispered, “Don’t move. Let’s watch him first.”“But he's right there. I say we confront him.”He shook his head, pulling me over. “His guard is still up now. Besides, if we confront him now, he might hurt people. We still don't know how dangerous he is.”Although Gerald made a good point, I still felt very impatient. If it weren't for his arm which was now around my waist, I would have rushed to Luke and gripped him by the collar.“Now, here is what we are going to do...” Gerald whispered as Luke made his way to the checkout counter.I nodded with each instruction.Twenty minutes later.“Hey, Luke! Fancy meeting you here,” I said, stepping into an alleyway in the projects.Luke, who was holding two paper bags, stopped dead in his tracks. He looked around as his face twisted in a frown. “Who the fuck are you? And how do you know my name?”I flipped my hair back. “Who I am is not important. What I want to know is why you did that to me.”“Di

    ~Rosemary~Seeing the object lodged in Luke’s chest, I turned to Gerald. “Why did you shoot him!”“He was going to hurt you.”I dodged Gerald’s outstretched arm, looking at the gun and back at the collapsed man. “Where did you get that? I didn't even know you had a gun, let alone knew how to use one!”“This?” Gerald raised the gun. “This is not real. I mean, it’s not a firearm with a real bullet. It is just a tranquilizer gun. He will wake up soon.”I slapped my chest, sighing with relief. “Oh, thank goodness!”Gerald went over to Luke and kicked his leg. When the man didn't move, he took out the object from his chest. He searched Luke’s pocket and found a key card.“He’s going to wake up in like an hour. We need to interrogate him. It seems he’s currently staying at an Airbnb. Let's take him there.”“What?” I gasped. “What if someone sees us?”“Don’t worry about that. The Airbnb is just around the corner. If there are any surveillance cameras, we will worry about it later.”I stared

    ~Rosemary~Three days later.Who could it be?This was the question that had been on my mind ever since we left Luke’s place. While I didn't trust Luke at all, I couldn't shake off this feeling that he was right. Since the buyer had picked my preemie out of all the full-term babies in the hospital, it was clear that I was targeted.But by who?“Ma’am, you have a visitor.”At the sound of my assistant’s voice, I jerked. I lifted the pen from the document and saw that I had left a large inky dot on it.Shit!“Should I let her in? She says she's your mother-in-law.”Huh? Wait…Susan?I looked at the time and saw that it was just a few minutes past ten. I had only just checked in thirty minutes ago. Why was Susan here this early?I stood up. “Yes, please.” “Oh, Susan. To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?” I said the second she walked in, looking so radiant.Susan smiled. “It has been days since you last came to see me. So, I decided to dress up today and come to you.”“I am so sorry.

    ~Rosemary~Gerald jumped, his eyes widened as if someone had just dropped hot coal all over his body. The blanket slipped further down Amani’s body, revealing a pair of gigantic boobs. “What’s that noise?”“What the hell is going on here?” I asked, my knees weakening. “Gerald, how could you do this to me?”Gerald got out of bed. He glared at Amani. “How did you get in here? What are you doing in my bed?”Slowly, Amani sat up. She looked at Gerald and frowned. “What’s wrong with you, Gerald? Have you forgotten what happened last night?”“What the fuck are you talking about?” Gerald held his head, wincing.My tears came rushing in a tidal wave as I rested my back on the wall. “You promised never to hurt me, but then, you turn around and sleep with my twin sister?”Gerald walked over to me, wearing only black shorts. “This is a setup, Rose. I…I don't know how that bitch got in here.”“Ouch!” Amani said, slipping on a shirt. “That's not what you called me when you were fucking me from be

    ~Rosemary~“Rosemary! Are you here for the final fitting for the wedding—” Susan stopped as soon as she saw my face clearly. “What happened to you?”She held my face. “Have you been crying?”I held her wrists and pulled down her hands. With my heart beating fast, I said, “I didn't come here to do any wedding preparations. I came to tell you that the wedding cannot hold.”Susan clutched her chest. “What!”“Rosemary!” A voice boomed.When I looked up, I saw Max lumbering down the stairs. He came to his mother’s side, shaking his head at me.“What… do you mean that the wedding cannot hold? It’s less than two weeks away.” Hardening my heart against the woman’s sad expression, I said, “I am already married. I got married to my husband after I was dumped nearly four years ago.”“What?” Susan gasped and looked at Max. “Son, is it true? Did you know about this?”“Mom, I—”“Yes, he did!” I interrupted, clenching my fists. “Max told me to keep quiet about it. Max and Amani wanted me to play al

    ~Rosemary~“Amani! Henny!” Screaming, I ran over to the middle of the road where the car had now stopped. I fell to my knees, seeing both mother and son, lying in a pool of blood. There was blood coming out of Henny’s mouth and his eyes were shut. Similarly, Amani’s leg was twisted behind her and there was a gash on her arm.Everything that happened next was a blur. When I came to my senses, I found myself pacing about in front of the operating room.“This is all your fault!”Hearing that voice, I turned around and saw my mother charging towards me with her face filled with hatred. “Mom, you—”Slap!I staggered, bumping on the bench nearby. A tear fell almost immediately. Holding my cheek, I looked at her.“Mom, I didn't--”“Save me the excuses! Max already called and told me what happened!”I looked at Max who was trying to console Susan at the end of the hallway. The lump in my throat got even bigger.How was this my fault? Maybe it was… If I hadn't chased after her for taking he

    ~Rosemary~I waved. “I get that every time, but he's not my son. He's my twin sister’s son.”The doctor tilted his head in confusion. “Are you sure about that? Because you and your sister have different blood types, which is uncommon for identical twins. But your blood type O+ is the same as the little boy’s.”“What do you mean?” I asked, sitting up on the bed. “My sister is also O+. She has been that all her life.”The doctor shook his head. “No, she's not. Her Rheus factor is negative. So that means that she couldn't possibly have had a Rheus-positive child. Pregnancies with different Rheus factors usually end in early miscarriages.”I couldn't believe my ears. What was going on? Is the doctor mistaken?“You are mistaken, doc. My sister carried her child to term. Her case might just be one of those—-”“Exceptions?” he completed, then shook his head. “I don't think so. Before each blood transfusion from relatives, we not only test for possible diseases or pregnancies. We also study

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

    ~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

  • 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.

    ~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
