My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Forty-five: Trade By Barter Wife
Zane’s POV I watched as the color instantly drained from Ms. Ryder's face as my words sank in. For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a bit... off. Was the idea of being my wife really so repulsive? I quickly pushed the unfamiliar sensation of discomfort aside, as I maintained my usual mask of indifference."W...what?!" Ms. Ryder finally managed to stammer, with her voice barely above a whisper.I leaned back in my chair, and in a cool, calm tone as if I was just discussing the weather, I clarified. "My pretend wife. Be my pretend wife for a certain period of time, and your dreams of creating the memorial area will be fulfilled. Consider it a trade by barter."The words hung in the air between us, heavy with implication. I could almost see the gears turning in Mr. Ryder's mind as she struggled to process my unexpected proposal. Her hazel eyes, usually so full of fire and determination, now appeared confused and wary.I remained still, with my gaze fixed on her face. Years of high-st

Zane's POV Jayden had simply asked for a visit to his mother's grave. The grave that didn't exist, at least not where I had told him it did. When I was told his mother died after giving birth to him, I never knew or even bothered to know where she was buried. And when my overly smart son grew up and asked, I had no option but to lie that she was buried faraway in my ancestral homeland in the countryside.The lie had seemed harmless at first, a way to protect him from the pain and hurt of the real truth. But now, it has grown into something more complicated. I had avoided returning to my supposed homeland for years, knowing that to do so would be to invite scrutiny and questions I wasn't prepared to answer. But Jayden's request had backed me into a corner. I couldn't deny him this, not when it's the first thing he had ever requested from me.And so, I would have to face them. My so-called family, or as Randolph would say, those greedy vultures with their claws ever ready to sink them

Trina's POV I don't know how it happened but I just found myself pulling up my car in front of Justin's office building. Mr. McAllister’s impromptu proposal had completely thrown me off guard and I must have subsciously driven myself to Justin's office instead of going back to the McAllister mansion. Afterall, my subscious knows I need my best friend's advice now more than ever.As I stepped into the lobby, the familiar faces and friendly smiles of the staff instantly welcomed me, giving me a bit of comfort. Justin's secretary, Emily, looked up from her computer and flashed a warm smile at me.And with the smile still intact, she cheerfully addressed me. "Trina! It's so good to see you! Go right in. You know the drill."I nodded gratefully, appreciating the fact that Justin had instructed his staff to always let me in without question. It was just one of the many ways he showed how much he cared, and for a moment, a pang of guilt shot through me. I pushed it aside, knowing I needed t

Jayden McAllister’s POVAs soon as I walked through the grand doors of our mansion, Arnold hurriedly came and took hold of my backpack, saying, “Welcome home, young master Jayden.”I simply nodded at him before asking “Randolph isn't back yet?”Arnold answered in the affirmative. “Yes Sir. He isn't back yet but he called earlier, saying he will be back later in the week.”Without another word, I made my way towards the spiral staircase. My dad had sent Randolph on an errand of sorts to his homeland just this morning but I already feel his absence. The old man is the soul of the house.Just as I freshened up and was about to head to my domain– my computer room, I overheard Maria calling out to Eleanor to come and eat since her mother was out on an errand.Eleanor is here? I didn't know when a rare smile spread across my face. The thought of seeing the lively firecracker today after Dad gave her mom the day off brought an unexpected warmth to my chest. Her vibrant energy and endless cur

Jayden McAllister's POV I processed this information, my mind already forming connections and hypotheses. To Eleanor however, I said, "That must have been very distressing for your mother."Eleanor nodded her head gravely once again and wiped at her tears before saying, "It was. She said the worst part was that they never even showed her the... the body. She passed out again after they told her, and when she woke up, she was back in her apartment in Paris with me.""Paris?" I echoed, the coincidence setting off alarms in my mind. I was also born in Paris!Eleanor nodded. "That's where I was born. Mom said she couldn't even go to the police because she didn't know who the doctor was or where they had taken her. And he had a mask on his face so she couldn't even describe him. So every year on my birthday, she's happy I'm here, but she's also really sad about my twin. That's why I don't want to celebrate anymore."I leaned back in my chair, as my mind began racing with thoughts. There w

Trina's POV Thursday morning came faster than I hoped. Today was the day – the third day since Mr. McAllister had given me his unexpected proposal and so he's expecting an answer today. As such, I was a bundle of nerves as I drove to the McAllister mansion that morning. Blissfully unaware of my internal turmoil, my little munchkin happily sang one nursery rhyme after another in the backseat. I stole a glance at her in the rearview mirror as she started dancing to her own tunes, with her golden curls bouncing. Oh how I wish I could be as carefree as her!As we pulled up to the mansion, I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for the day ahead. The mansion loomed in front of us, grand and imposing, just like its owner. With Eleanor’s hand in mine, we walked into the grand house, exchanging pleasantries with the familiar staff.Inside, the house was quiet. Mr. McAllister had already left for work, as usual. A part of me was relieved as I wasn't ready to face him yet. I quickly

Trina's POV I stepped into Mr. McAllister's study with my heart pounding with nervousness. However, I schooled my features to appear neutral. With a deep breath, I moved forward, eager to get this done and over with, when suddenly the floor seemed to disappear beneath my feet.Time slowed as I realized my mistake. There were steps– three of them– leading down into the main area of the study but as I was too engrossed in calming myself, I didn't see them until it was too late. My heel caught on the edge, and I felt myself pitching forward with a startled gasp escaping my lips.I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the harsh impact of hitting the floor while my mind was already conjuring up the embarrassing image of me falling ungracefully at the feet of one of the most powerful men in the country.But the harsh meeting with the floor never came. Instead, I felt strong arms wrap around me, accompanied by a masculine scent that was both intoxicating and oddly familiar. Mr. McAllister had

Trina’s POV Taken completely off guard, I blinked because unlike him, I was still disoriented from our unexpected closeness of moments ago. My mind felt foggy, and I found myself nervously tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before stammering a response."I... well, I have a few questions first, if that's alright.” I paused, took a deep breath before going on. “If I agree, how long will this charade last? And who exactly will I be pretending for? You didn't really explain the details last time."Mr. McAllister leaned back in his chair, with his fingers steepled in front of him. His gaze never wavered from mine as he spoke, and I found myself captivated by the intensity in his eyes."Jayden and I will be traveling to my homeland for a few weeks very soon," he explained, his voice calm and measured. "That is when I will need your services. I have family members there, and they are the ones we need to convince that we are married." He paused, his eyes boring into mine. "Happily marri

Trina’s POV My heart instantly skipped a beat and as I turned to look at him, I felt Justin's hand pull away from mine before he hastily wrapped it around my waist in a possessive manner.Just like that, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees as Zane descended the stairs in a slow, majestic manner, like a predator advancing towards its preys, with his eyes never leaving Justin. I held my breath, praying to God to intervene and prevent a tense confrontation."Myers." Zane's voice was as frosty as ice when he addressed Justin. "To what do we owe this... unexpected pleasure?"Justin’s arm tightened around my waist, making Zane’s eyes to ever so fleetingly drop to it before instantly looking back at Justin.He responded, "I wasn't aware I needed a reason or your permission to visit my girlfriend and her daughter."O.M.G!! How could Justin do this to me? The word 'girlfriend' hung in the air, increasing the already tense atmosphere a hundred fold more. I felt my heart
My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Sixty-two: Unexpected Visitor
Trina’s POV As the kids had firmly locked the door behind them in Jayden's computer and games room and Zane was in his bigger study room which was upstairs, I was all alone downstairs, except for the domestic staff who were all taking a break from their usual duties for the time being.To keep myself occupied, I started browsing about ideas about how to hold a funeral for an already buried loved one and also ideas about the memorial area I want to create in Mom's burial ground after this charade of a pretend marriage is all over. I was deeply engrossed in my research when the intercom connecting the gates to the inner parts of the mansion buzzed. And as I answered, I heard the familiar voice of one of the security guards, Nelson, say to me. “Good afternoon ma’am. There's a Justin Myers here to see you. Should we let him in?”My brows instantly furrowed even as my heart began pounding in trepidation. Justin in the McAllister mansion?! What on earth is he doing here?!Subconsciously,
My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Sixty-one: They'll Be The Death Of Her
Trina's POV I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart as I watched Eleanor orchestrate yet another "family" scenario. This time, she had Jayden and Zane himself setting up a picnic in the sprawling gardens of the McAllister mansion. It was quite surreal, seeing the cold and aloof, highly charismatic and intimidating billionaire– The enigmatic Mr. Zane McAllister doing something so domestic as laying out a checkered blanket while his equally aloof and charismatic son, Jayden McAllister, carefully arranged a basket of sandwiches on the spread blanket.As I watched them from afar in awe, I suddenly heard my mischievous little munchkin’s voice break into my thoughts."Mommy! Daddy says we need your famous lemonade for our picnic!"For the umpteenth time, I felt a flutter in my stomach when I heard Eleanor call Zane 'Daddy,' even though I have been hearing it for over a week now and I also know it was all pretend. Forcing a smile on my face, I replied to her. "Lemonade coming
My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Sixty: His "Wifey"

And when he drove us to the school, I noticed that Dad's knuckles were white on the steering wheel, as if he was also nervous about the whole thing but keeping cool about it like the aloof and indifferent billionaire everyone knows him to be.Unlike her usual self, Eleanor was very quiet during the ride to the school and from the rearview mirror, I could see Mom stealing glances at her with a concerned look on her face. When she could no longer handle it, she turned in her seat to look back at us. "Aren’t you excited, Ella sweetie? First day at a new school is always
My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Fifty-nine: The Act Of Practice
Jayden McAllister's POV I must give my twin sister her well deserved accolade– she's indeed a master when it comes to plotting and mischievous pranks, especially when she sets her heart into doing something. And she has not only set her heart, but also her mind and her soul into bringing our parents back together after whatever it was that separated them in the past. On that fateful day when Dad announced we were going on a family vacation to his hometown, I had caught Eleanor's eye across the breakfast table. She gave me that mischievous look of hers– the one that said she was up to something– and I knew right then that our lives were about to get a whole lot more interesting! And when I said my goodbyes and set out to go to school, I had lingered at the door, only to hear her say to them in her characteristic chirpy tone."I'm going off to my kingdom as well but before then, remember what my big bro just told you; practice makes perfect.

My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Fifty-eight: Getting To Know Him
Trina's POV “Mr. McAllister comes from a middle-class family in Dripping Springs, Texas. His father, Donald McAllister owns and maintains a ranch there. The ranch is a family heirloom, it's been in the family for generations. Zaynie is his only son."This time around, he didn't bother to correct his slip of tongue and that made me realise that Mr. McAllister and him might be closer than they appear to be if he calls him by a nickname."Zaynie's mother died immediately after giving birth to him, and his father remarried early… too early if you ask me.”I shook my head as I said, “That's so sad. So he grew up without knowing his own Mom!”Randolph let out a grim smile as he heard that, before saying, “Yeah, but what was even more sadder was the way his father and stepmom treated him. You see, my family worked for the McAllister ranch for generations and so I grew up there, working as the dairy person in charge of milking all the cows. So I have known Zaynie ever since he was born. As a
My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Fifty-seven: So Close
Trina's POV Time seemed to slow down as I sensed Zane’s hand a fraction of an inch away from my face. With my heart pounding so hard like never before, I held my breath, waiting for the touch of his fingers on my skin...However, it never came.Instead, I felt a slight movement of air as his hand reached past me. My eyes flew open just in time to see him grab his suit jacket from the hook on the wall behind me."Then you better start practicing about how to act as a caring wife," he said, his voice calm and cool as if nothing had happened. "I'm off to the office."And just like that, he was gone, leaving me pressed against the wall, with my heart still pounding dangerously and my mind reeling.I stood there for a moment, trying to process what had just happened– or rather, what hadn't happened. Had I imagined the tension? The heated look in his eyes? The way his gaze had lingered on my lips?Shaking my head, I pushed myself away from the wall and took a deep breath. This arrangement
My Twins' Billionaire Stranger Daddy Chapter Fifty-six: Practice Makes Perfect
Trina’s POV Eleanor's eyes widened as big as saucers, and even Jayden looked pleasantly surprised. But before I could process their reactions, Zane quickly added, "As a pretend family." He paused, his gaze sweeping over all of us. "I've made an arrangement with… your mother that will benefit us both. And to make this… venture successful, we will need your maximum cooperation."I watched the children carefully, trying to gauge their reactions. To my surprise, Eleanor and Jayden exchanged another look, this one filled with something I couldn't quite decipher. Was that... a wink from Eleanor to Jayden? Hmm, judging from her hyper excitement from earlier and her actions now, I know my mischievous little munchkin was definitely up to something. But the question is, what? And how on earth had she managed to thaw the usually cold and aloof Jayden like this?"A pretend family vacation?" Eleanor asked, her voice dripping with innocence that I knew was entirely feigned. "That sounds like fun!

Even though my little firecracker was always full of life, today she seemed to be practically bursting with excitement. I’ve never seen her being this restless and excited over anything. As if she read my mind, she hyper excitedly squealed, “Mommy, hurry! I can't wait to see everyone!"I chuckled, before glancing at her in the rearview mirror and asking, “Calm down, sweetie. We go there every day, remember? Tell me, what's got you so hyper this morning?”She flashed me one of her famous mischievous grins before responding in a fake innocent tone. "Oh, nothing, Mommy. I just have a feeling today's going to be a great day!"Alarm bells instantly rang on my head so I quickly said. “Ella sweetie, remember the promise you made to me when we started going to the McAllister mansion? You wouldn't break it by playing a prank on anyone in the house, would
