My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 138 No Going Back
~Gerald“Get closer!” I commanded Elvis, the binoculars still over my eyes.Elvis shouted back, “Hold on tight, boss!”I did as instructed. The chopper slanted a little and picked momentum. I took a deep breath as the distance between us and the ship got shorter and shorter.“Keep it steady now! I think we are close enough!”As soon as I said that, Elvis steadied the chopper. I took out the small megaphone from a compartment and spoke right into it. “Come out, you bastard!”“I know you are in there!” I added, staring down at the deck of the ship.A couple of seconds later, a tall and muscular figure appeared. He was holding a megaphone too. “Oh, Gerald. Now I am not sure you love your wife like you claim you do. How can you come out here after everything I told you?”“Let her go!”“Tsk, tsk, tsk! How many times do I have to tell you that it doesn't work that way?” Angel asked, shoving one hand in his pocket as he walked to the railing. I shouted louder, “I am not going to leave here
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 139 Found Her
~Gerald~“Gerald, wake up! Save me!”My eyes flew open as soon as I heard that voice. I looked in the distance and saw an image of her.Rose? I said in my mind. What are you doing here?“Shhh!” She pressed a ginger on my lips after swimming over. “You have to swim to the surface. If you don't, you can't save me.”I blinked.But I don’t want to leave you here…“You aren't. Go up!”I glanced at two gunshot wounds on my shoulders. When I looked back at Rosemary, she was smiling. “What would you do if you have no hands?”Kick fiercely! I answered, still in my mind.“What would you do if the love of your life was in that ship?”“Go up there to save her!” I finally shouted against the salty water.As if charged by a new burst of energy, I clenched my fists as hard as I could and began to kick my feet.I wasn't so sure if it would work, but it did.The light that had grown faint a while ago began to shine more brightly. I looked down into the water again, but Rosemary wasn't there anymore.
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 140 Subtle Revelation
~Rosemary~“You could have gotten yourself killed!” I buried my face in his cheek. “But I am so happy to see you, Ger. I missed you so much.”He squeezed me tighter. “I missed you too.”I cried like a baby as we held onto each other. Although the atmosphere was still very cold, I felt warmth from the inside out.Just a few minutes ago, I thought I was going to die. But here I was in the arms of the man I loved the most. And he risked his life for me.“Thank you, Ger. Thank—”“Shhh… I did this for us. How could I live with you in captivity?”I held on to his shirt as he pulled back. When he looked at me, I smiled through the tears.“Let’s get you out of here. It’s still not safe.”“You are hurt!” I exclaimed when I noticed the bloodstains on both of his shoulders.“It's nothing. One of the bullets went through. I will get the other one out soon, so don't worry.”“Oh, my God!” I covered my mouth, staring at one of the wounds. “I am sorry.”“Don’t be. I should be the one saying sorry.”H
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 141 Conflict Maker
~Rosemary~The phone fell off my hand to the countertop. My heart was beating fast as I looked at the screen and read the message again.There was only one person who called me princess. And that was…Angel.How did he get my number? So he was still alive and he knew where we lived? Did this mean he also knew about Henny?Oh, my God! No!My hands trembled as I picked up the phone. After much hesitation, I typed a reply: Please leave me alone!A few seconds after I hit send, my phone rang. I stared at the phone screen while biting my nails.He was the one calling, right? I shouldn't pick up, right?Against my better judgment, I swiped the screen and hit the speaker icon. I pulled back, holding my breath.“Hello, princess.”A shiver ran down my spine at the sound of his voice. I held the countertop for support.“You know, your husband really outdid himself the other day.”“Stop stalking me! Why don’t you just leave us alone?”Angel chuckled on the phone. “I am afraid that’s not possible.
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 142 A Little Too Late
~Gerald~Angel, again? Why couldn't that bastard just stay dead?Although I knew there was a high possibility that Angel had survived the gunshot wound, I thought that was enough to keep him away from us for a while. I guess I was wrong.“Rose…” I began, looking at her softly. “Have I ever done anything to make you feel like you can't trust me?”She closed her eyes. When she opened them, I saw that they were filled with skepticism.“You told me that there were only two choppers around at the time of the rescue. But there were twelve, weren't they?”I sat up abruptly. “Did Angel tell you that?”“Does it matter?” she asked, the annoyance in her voice apparent. “It's not going to change the fact that you lied to me.”“I hate liars, Gerald.”I stood up and walked over to where she was sitting. Squatting, I took both of her hands in mine.“I am sorry, my love. I didn't tell you the truth about the number of choppers because I didn't want you to feel guilty that I had to go all out. Alrea
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 143 Snooping Around
~Rosemary~Three hours ago.After dropping Henny off at his grandma’s, I stopped by the hotel to sign some important documents. I had been away for quite some time and my deputy had been holding the reins for me.“Keep up the good work. I am not sure when I will be able to resume fully, but for now, keep me updated on what’s happening, okay?”She nodded.“By the way, go to HR to sort out your new pay.”Her face instantly lit up. “Oh, my God! Thank you so much, ma’am.”“You earned it.”I held up my hand when my phone suddenly rang. “I have to take this. You may leave now.”“Hello?”“Hey, princess!”“You!” I screamed, pulling the phone away from my ear.The number on the screen wasn’t the same one Angel used to call me the other day. Had I known it was him, I wouldn't have answered it.“What do you want!”He laughed. “You really should fire your security guard. All he does is sleep.”“You are here?” I shot to my feet. “Not quite. But if I were a bad person, I would have bypassed that s
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 144 All A Lie
~Gerald~The bouquet dropped to my feet. My tongue suddenly went bitter. Nooo! This isn't how it should go. I was just about to—“All these years, you have been lying to me!” She trembled, breathing exasperatedly. “Who the fuck did I marry!”“Rose, I am still me. I am still Gerald, the man you fell in love with!”“No, you are not!” She threw the binder to my feet. “It says here that you are Gerald Clay, CEO of G-Tech and other businesses. You allowed me to make a fool of myself when I recommended the software engineering job to you a year ago!”“Baby, I—”“Don’t call me that!”She stamped her feet. “Everything was a lie! Right from the moment you agreed to marry me. You didn't even need my money. And Armando. You didn't get him out of trouble in Mexico, did you?”I shook my head.She threw her hands in the air. “Is his name even Armando?”I shook my head again. “His real name is Elvis. He's my assistant.”“Hahaha!” She sat on the edge of the desk and laughed out loud. “You guys must
My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire Chapter 145 The Don’s Offer
~Rosemary~“How did you find me!” I yelled, the phone in my hand dropping to the floor.The man at the door slowly smiled, then mewed. “I have my sources, princess.”“Wait… did you really think I wasn't going to find you?” he added, slapping his hand on the door.I held on to the door and tried to shut it. “What do you want!”“You!”I cringed when he gave me that sick smile again. “I really can't deal with your disturbance right now. Please, leave!”“Aww! Princess, I actually came here to console you.”“I don't need your consolation. Leave!”Despite my shout, Angel did the exact opposite. He pushed the door farther open, walked in, and reached out his hand.“Don’t touch me!” I yelled, stepping away from him. “I know you must be happy now since everything you said about Gerald was true!”Since I left home, I have been going over what I saw in that binder. Everything that just seemed like luck or the fruit of my hard work was now very questionable.From my ability to buy so many shares

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
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
