Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 33 - A Call In Early Morning
She heard something. Or not? It was so faint that she didn't know if what she heard was real or a dream.Dream?Wait. Didn't Anna say goodnight to Dave before going to bed?Just then, her eyes opened wide. It was like something pulled her from a dream and forced her to wake up from sleep.For a moment, she guessed it was the alarm. But then she realized that her alarm wasn't that loud. She used waves and wind sounds, so it wouldn't jolt her from sleep.Then she spun her head as she realized something. It was her phone. So she immediately took it and took a glimpse at the time. It was past two."Hello," she greeted, still between dream and reality."Hello. Is this really Kate's friend?" replied a deep voice on the other side.Her brows furrowed, and she took off her phone to see who was calling her. That was Kate's number. "Who's this?" she asked suspiciously and worriedly. Someone was holding Kate's phone at this hour. Who was not worried?"I'm from the club. Kate is here but too drun
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 34 - The Invitation
Anna looked around with her phone in hand. It was apparent she was waiting for someone.“What are you looking for?” Jenny asked, her brows furrowed next to Anna. They had just finished discussing the contract for Kate.“I’m looking for someone,” Anna answered, a little hanging at each word.The frown on her forehead increased. “You know someone works here?” Jenny asked again.Anna gave the nod, but her eyes were still scanning her surroundings. “Yes. She said she would meet me in the lobby.”“Then let’s wait on the couch.”But they just walked a step and changed direction when Anna found the person she was waiting for out of the elevator. “Here,” she exclaimed as she raised her hand to show her whereabouts.“She’s someone you know?”Anna nodded confidently. “Yes.”“Isn’t she the CEO of this company?”Again. Anna gave a sure nod. This time, with a smile when Chelsy got closer to them. “Yes.”“How did you-“ Jenny couldn’t finish her sentence because Chelsy was already close to them.“So
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 35 - Weekend Without Him
Anna took the package and brought out its contents. It was a small jar containing several cubes encased in yellow aluminum. Yes, she finally bought chocolate after a long discussion with the owner.Surprisingly, the owner was kind. She gave free samples of some chocolates in stock for Anna to try and listened to her every reaction and word afterward. It made her comfortable saying what she wanted, even though she wasn't sure she could put everything in words right. But the owner understood, and that was a plus point.Hence, Anna had no problem waiting for the owner to make the first samples. Then what was she doing now in front of that?A satisfied smile crossed her lips. Somehow it brought her closer to Dave, and she wanted to share it.She picked up her phone, scrolled her fingers for Dave's name, and a call came in just as she was about to touch it. That was Dave. What a coincidence!"I was just about to call you," she said as soon as the call was connected. She still had a bright
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 36 - Going To A Bookstore
She walked slowly, very slowly. She even paused for a long time in each step before continuing on to another. Sometimes she took an effort back when something caught her eyes.That was what she did for the last hour. Strolled around Los Angeles’ largest bookstore. It was to fulfill her promise to Dave.But, to be honest, she was a little hesitant to go to the bookstore with the only hope of finding something. There were many books, of course, and it confused her. Which one to buy it? The introduction seemed boring—she spent a more extended time skimming some chapters—and some too business was very confusing. She could only blink blankly, not understanding at all. Moreover, there were many.She should have asked for his recommendation.She picked up a fairly thick book, around four centimeters. It had ‘Profit’ in the title. And as the title suggested, it talked about how to make a profit in any business.Should she buy it? After all, every business leads to profit, including where she
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 37 - A Gift For A Friend
First, Jeff took her for a walk around the block. They stopped at every stand or food truck to try what they sold. Crepes, lattes, sandwiches, sausages, ice cream, and more."No, no, no," she objected when Jeff pointed out the nearest stand. It sold kebabs, and she was starting to feel full even though it was tempting. It was time to stop, or her stomach would hurt."Just a bite," he coaxed but still pulled her hand with him even though she refused. "Two kebabs, please," he said to a young man, the salesman behind the counter."No. Only one," Anna corrected quickly. "I can't take anymore, Jeff," she begged him."Okay, just one and for you." He complied, but why still for her?Anna shook her head harder than before. She really couldn't take it anymore. It would be a shame if she threw up, wouldn't it?"Okay, just a bit?" He tried to bargain. "I'll spend the rest," he continued."Okay, okay. Just a bit." Finally, she agreed. A bite wouldn't kill her, right? Or at least not embarrass her
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 38 - First Lie
Anna tapped her finger on the table while staring at the package untouched since she put it there. She didn't even know for sure what was inside other than a quick glance at the store. Anna was contemplating her decision. Did she do right?The finger tapping momentarily stopped as a stupid idea flashed through her mind. She would return it to Jeff. But was it right after the package had been on her table? That would make her look bad.The beat continued as soon as she crossed out that idea. She needed another solution.And a sigh escaped her lips when she couldn't find one. She leaned back in frustration. She should have insisted on rejecting Jeff instead of letting her unbearable side take over. That would put her in a dilemma. Always.Then her gaze shifted to the phone next to the paper bag. She looked at them alternately, thinking of doing something to the paper bag. No. She had to do something about it.Thus, she took her phone and looked for Dave's name. She needed someone to tal
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 39 - He Is Bothered
He was bothered.Dave didn’t know for sure the beginning, but he had already felt it when the call was cut off. He was disturbed, annoyed, disappointed, something similar. He couldn’t describe it adequately. Obviously, he was in a bad mood.He buttoned his coat casually, then took it off when he felt tight. He would go with something more relaxed, despite wearing a suit. After all, he just needed to obey the dress code and wear a suit.“Good evening, Dave,” said Bill Russo, owner of The Daily News, one of the most famous newspapers in New York. It was its birthday for forty years. “Thanks for coming,” he continued, shaking his hand.“Sure. It’s a special day. Congratulations!”“Thanks. We won’t be here without Byrne.”Dave actually only owned about six percent of the shares. But if he added up the other Byrne, they hold the majority share.“We’re happy to be part of The Daily News.”After the small talks, Dave left him to give the others a chance to congratulate him. And he needed win
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 40 - Something Different
Finally, the birthday party was held. Of course, they had it at The Byrne Hotel and took the theme of their conversation, pirates."Congratulations, Chels. And Happy birthday," Anna said as the two Byrnes hugged. She then handed her a small white box. "Here's your gift.""Thank you, Ann." Chelsy opened it and was a little surprised to find out what was inside. It was a simple bracelet with three pearls as the main shot. Also, her initials were on it. "It's so pretty, Ann." She then took it out and gave it to Anna to help her put it on.Anna must thank Jeff for it. His gift gave her an idea. Yeah, it was not custom because they only added the initials as requested."Happy birthday, Chelsy Byrne," Dave said next to her as he held out the bouquet in his hand.Chelsy accepted and said, "Thanks, Dave. But where's my present?"Oh, Anna needed to fix it. It was from them because Dave was involved in choosing the bracelet. And about the initials idea, it actually came from him."The bouquet,"

Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 130 - The Second Baby
Anna peered through the common bathroom door on the first floor before stepping out casually as if nothing had happened. She walked past Dave, who was sitting on the couch in their living room and reading a report on his tablet, with Zach crawling on the floor."Zach, baby, come here." She called for Zach's attention, which was never hard to get. "Let's play outside."And his reaction was predictable. He was running toward his mother excitedly. His smile was so big that it was going to explode.Being a child seemed fun, didn't it?She followed him, running out of the house to their yard barefoot. She couldn't help her own smile from forming on her face at seeing him and another happiness she had just found out about today.She was pregnant with their second child.But be quiet. Anna wanted to make a surprise for her husband.Oh, she couldn't wait to see his reaction!"Zach, come here. Mommy wants to say something to you."Zach halted his running to look at his mother with an indescrib
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 129 - Epilogue 1: Cookies
Three years later.She watched everything. Their every move, laugh, giggle, scream, and more. She couldn't help but grace a wide smile over that. It was too good to be true. But it was what that was as it was the reality.Baby Zach was now three years old and in his active days. He had run on every corner of the house and was always excited to run outside.Although it tired their body from following him around, she didn't complain, especially Dave. He always had the energy to play with him and never ran out of ideas. He raised their child with all his heart.She shook her head to force herself back to her place. She couldn't only observe them all the time, as she needed to finish the cookie dough.Zach had the exact liking as hers for sweets. So she tried to be the best mom by baking them instead of buying them outside or ordering chefs to make them. It was cheaper and could adjust to her family preferences, which she wanted, not too much sugar.As Dave said, sugar was a killer.She
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 128 - Baby Zach
"Hi, baby boy. I'm happy you're awake, and I can hold you. Your mother must feel the same way. But she's resting now, so let's not disturb her and play with me instead." His voice was laced with happiness as his eyes flitted the same feeling. There was nothing happier than this moment when he finally held baby Zach. And the fact that he was born healthy was wonderful. It could be perfect if his wife's recovery went well.Baby Zach wriggled his tiny hands and managed to capture Dave's finger. He gripped it though his eyes were still closed. Baby Zach might sense familiar and safe, so baby Zach didn't cry, which made Dave's heart swell with pride and warmth. Only his touch could do that, and he couldn't be more proud of that."What do you think about this world? It's amazing, isn't it? You have me, your mother, and your entire family by your side. And in the future, you will find your own friends."Baby Zach was just quiet, and if his grip was not still on his finger, Dave might have th
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 127 - Austin Or Zach
A few months later.Anna was closing drawers after checking what was inside was still inside.It might be confusing. The point was Anna had just finished looking at their baby’s needs, such as clothes, diapers, socks, blanket, and more. She wanted to make sure everything was ready when the time came, which was soon. Her due date should be this week, and she couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome their baby.She moved to the only bed in the room. It was big and had four wooden walls on four sides to protect the baby from falling. And it was the one Dave said could accommodate her body while breastfeeding their baby. She even could sleep on it too.Her hand touched the doll on the nearby side and placed it neatly between another doll and the pillow. She had some, mainly cute animal characters, to accompany him while he was sleeping.Yes, him. Their baby was a boy.“Do you like it, honey? It’s nice, right? Your father prepared them for you.” She spoke as her hand caressed her so big
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 126 - Linda, Again
"I saw everything, Anna. I know what you hide behind your back." His eyebrows raised as if waiting for her to reveal it by herself. There was no point in hiding it anyway since it was why he approached her. He already saw her enjoying the ice cream!"What do you mean?"So she was going to play with him. Unfortunately, he didn't want to pretend that he did not see that. "The bowl. Ice cream."And she could only force a grin."Come here." His hand reached out to invite her to come near him."No. You will scold me.""That means you know you were doing wrong. How many bowls have you had?""Hmm. Five?""Count it correctly, honey.""Okay. Okay. Nine." She raised both her hands in the air and surrendered herself."No, honey. The bowl in your back is the eleventh."He actually didn't have a problem with her enjoying the ice cream. But Anna liked overeating, and she might have more if he didn't watch her."Good job Dave. She needs to be more careful with her health." Rebecca, standing beside h
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 125 - Finally, The Wedding Day
Finally, the day they had been waiting for came. It was hectic but also fun. Their friends and families gathered together to celebrate the happy day. What was more pleasing than that?The vow went well. Although Anna felt more nervous, everything was perfect this time compared to the real one. Her father led her to the altar and handed her to Dave, which generally did at a wedding ceremony. And she and his husband stated their vow again and became husband and wife one more time.And to make it perfect, he sealed their vow with a kiss on her lips. Then cheers and applauses filled the hall.It was indeed a favorable moment. And it lasted until night."It's a pleasure to finally meet the newest Mrs. Byrne." Alexander greeted Anna and took her hand to land a quick kiss, like how a gentleman met a lady for the first time. "My name is Alexander Green.""Oh!" Anna couldn't help but show her surprise. She heard a lot about him from Dave, but this was the first time they met in person."Based
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 124 - Time Of Being Together
She felt warm on her skin. Also, a soft and warm breeze brushed over her neck, bringing a shiver to her body. A second later, she sensed warmth moving on her swollen belly, rubbing it so gently as if fearing to wake her up."Hmm." She stirred from her sleep, the result of those doings. Only then did she realize hands wrapped around her, and she knew whose those were. "Dave." Her voice came throatily from sleep."I'm sorry I woke you up." He mumbled against the nook of her neck.She heard it but didn't want to answer him as her voice was stuck in her throat. But she couldn't do it anymore when her eyes fluttered open and dark welcomed her through a glass wall which gave a view of the dark sky. "It's still dark.""Yes.""What time is it?""It's past midnight.""Why aren't you sleeping?"Instead of replying, he tightened his arms and dug his face deeper into her neck. His hand slipped inside her nightdress and caressed her tummy. "I can't sleep.""Why?" She wriggled her body to turn arou
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 123 - What If I Die First
"The preparation is doing good, right?" Dave asked Eddie, General Manager of The Byrne Hotel in Los Angeles, as they took a look at the hall designated for his event to take place. It was still filled with other decorations, as it would be occupied for someone's event for tonight."Yes. We have everything that we need ready. Gifts also have arrived, and we're working to put them into goodie bags."Dave nodded his head in understanding. "Pack them nicely and make sure those are right for each occasion. Don't get confused." He gave further orders.As planned, they would split the event into two, the vow and the party. And because of that, they would use a separate hall, decorations, gifts for guests, food, and more. They had different preparation for each occasion."Sure. We have a lot of experience with these things. I assure you everything will be in expert hands. You can enjoy your time with your bride.""Okay. I trust you with this.""Yes."Then they walked together for a few minute
Secret Marriage With Billionaire Chapter 122 - A Dolphin
"I'm like a dolphin already!" Her voice echoed throughout the room. She was standing in front of the mirror, checking her appearance from the reflection. She wore an A-line midi dress in black, which fell nicely on her body. But it also made her baby bump visible."Says who?" Dave was walking toward her while buttoning his shirt."Me." She still focused on her own reflection, as if looking for something to satisfy her."Then you're wrong. You don't look like one at all." He slipped his arms around her waist. "Instead, you look sexier." He landed a kiss on her neck and began to stroke her stomach gently. It was almost six months, and the bump was pretty big."Don't lie to me, Dave. Look at me. Everything in my body is swollen now. Even my cheeks are full.""That's what makes you sexy, honey. I like how your body changes."She narrowed her eyes at his reflection. "Liar.""I'm not. I'm being honest with you.""I don't believe you."There was a sound of a sigh before he planted the last k
