Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 19 Bigger picture
*RENEE*The food on the tray cooled,its aroma fading.After half an hour,I presented both the original and my translation to Marcelo.“I’m done translating it.”Marcelo can with a grunt,motioning for me to set it aside.He seemed uninterested in reading it,immediately.I stared at him for a moment and then asked,tentatively.”You’re investigating Venus Bar?Why?Are you interested in owning it?”Attempts had been made to own Venus Bar over the years.Afterall,it was the most successful bar in the country and who wouldn’t want to own a bar frequented by the elites.“I owe you a wedding gift.”He lifted up his head and stared at me,nonchalantly.”I have to at least act as your husband,right so I’m thinking of buying that bar and gifting it to you.”My lips parted in shock.I wonder how he’d feel to know that the bar is already mine.It was actually laughable.He wanted to gift me something I already own?Marcelo’s unexpected proposition to acquire Venus Bar seemed like a veiled challenge.“Mr

*RENEE*Sarah had told me about what was going on online regarding me and Catherine.But I’ve never paid any mind to the comparison.Hell,I didn’t want to be compared to anyone.I just wanted to live my life on my terms.And now,I was focused on an opportunity with KM Group,which was currently seeking a stylist for their new quarterly project.KM Group was a global powerhouse which was recently expanding into the domestic market,they held significant influence enough to make even the King family cautious in their approach.A collaboration with KM group would offer me a shield against the Hudsons who were constantly trying to ruin my name.Towards evening,I descended the stairs to find Chad deep in conversation with Marcelo.Upon noticing me,Chad said to me.“Oh Mrs King,we were just talking about you.”I walked closer to them,curiously.”Did I do something wrong?”“Of course not.There’s a banquet at the King’s family house tomorrow and both you and Mr King are invited.”“Me?”I glanced a

*RENEE*“Did you just intend to hit my wife?Felicia,do you ever try to cross that line!”Marcelo warned, furiously.I was momentarily stunned by Marcelo’s intervention m,I gazed at his impassive profile, feeling an unfamiliar stir within my heart.Felicia,recovering from the shock cried out in pain.“Hold on,mom.The doctor’s on the way.”I heard Andrew say to his mother.“Marcelo,you…”Gary seemed to be at a loss of words.”It seems like you’ve forgotten who I am!”Despite lacking familial favor,Marcelo was still the legitimate heir as he was the son of the owner of the Kings Empire.I heard that his father had 70% of the Kings’ fortune.Power was the only thing that mattered to the Kings and they would do anything to have it.“Enough!”The old man who appeared to be Marcelo’s Grandfather thundered.“You all have absolutely not respect for me.”“I think it might be too late to teach Gary some respect now.”Marcelo replied before turned to face me.“Let’s go,my love.”I gulped.Did he just c

As soon as they got into the hotel room,Jason pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.Every word he had sent to her at the club,he meant it.About her beauty and as well as his name but he didn’t do relationship so he was just going to fuck this beauty and move on as usual.As her hands descended down his buttons and his chest was revealed bit by bit,the tremor in her fingers got worse and worse.At the last button,Jason took her hands away and impatiently ripped it open,the buttons popping free and falling somewhere on the carpet.The shirt fell to the ground and Lena looked at the bare expense of his chest in front of her.Heat suffused her face.She reached out a reverent hand and touched him,tentatively,trailing her fingers over his hard flat nipples.His chest surged as he sucked in a breath.When she looked up,his eyes were momentarily closed.In the next breath,he started to take off his clothes…leaving himself in only his briefs.His legs were long and tautly muscled.Her

*RENEE*Marcelo’s suite,located in the eastern wing of the main courtyard was a spacious blend of traditional and modern styles,meticulously detailed.While Marcelo went to take care of other things,I began to read a book I had picked up from a shelf.After a few minutes,there was a knock on the door,interrupting me from my reading.Marcelo must be back.I stood up and opened the door.I was taken aback to see Andrew at the door.Seriously?Did he come to find me here?Can’t Catherine just control her boyfriend?Andrew keeps wanting to cause trouble for me at any opportunity!Can’t she keep him on a leash on something?“You barely know Marcelo yet you’re sticking by his side like glue.If you really know the kind of person he is,you’d run far away.”I rolled my eyes.”Are you done?”“Renee,listen…”“I do not want to talk or listen to you.”I made to lock the door but Andrew blocked it with his foot.“Wait!Do you know where he is right now?He’s visiting the ashes of his brother,Sebastian.Y

*MARCELO*I sat on the opulent rosewood chair,sipping a glass of water.When Renee bumped into me earlier,I was surprised I didn’t find that disgusting.Her body had been so soft against me and when I told her to touch me,I meant it.I swallowed recalled the strong desire I felt to press her against the wall.Heck,I still felt that desire.My teeth clenched,I felt slightly irritated that I had no idea what this woman was doing to me.Suddenly,the bathroom door cracked open,slightly,and Renee’s voice tinged with unease,came through.“Em…Mr King…I didn’t bring any clothes in.Can you help me?”I rolled my eyes.”You know,you can just come out and go get clothes,right?There are some spare clothes in the store house for everyone.I’m your husband so perhaps,it’s time you start getting comfortable with being naked around me.”I replied.I was curious about her whole body.***********RENEE*I knew that was inevitable but I wasn’t ready yet.“I…can you give me some time to get used to that idea?

Catherine’s face contorted in shock.She had locked Renee in the room. How did Renee get out?And where was the effect of the drug she had used?Renee looked perfectly okay.As Catherine pondered this, she began to feel unusually warm, attributing it to her mounting frustration.“Renee isn't in there. She's with Marcelo?" someone in the crowd whispered.“Can someone explain what's going on?"Renee asked, maintaining her composure.Felicia’s gaze bore into Renee. "Catherine said she saw you enter that man's room. Such behavior is unacceptable in our family. We had to come out and investigate!"The accusation of infidelity was almost explicit, aiming to disgrace both Renee and Marcelo.“So, what did your investigation reveal?"Renee asked, her voice steady.“Why weren't you in the room as Miss Hudson claimed?"Gary inquired, his eyes searching Renee’s face for any telltale signs.Renee shot back, "I'm curious myself. Why would Catherine say I was in that room?Catherine,explain this clearly

*RENEE*Marcelo had just come out of the shower so his hair was still wet.He had a dark green bathrobe on,its belt hanging loosely.Each step he took towards the bed offered clearer glimpses of his defined chest and muscles.My body grew warm with need.Unlike any other man,Marcelo’s physique affected me so much?The mattress dipped as he sat down.Marcelo perched on the edge of the bed,one leg bent casually,drying his hair with a towel from the nightstand.I blinked and then he glanced at me.“You look disappointed.What?Are you ready for me?Do you want me to fuck you tonight?”My lips parted in shock.How can he be so raw with his words?Why did I feel that he wanted to have with me right now?I thought he hated me.My eyes fleetingly noticed several colorful boxes on the nightstand.Are those…condoms?Did he get them?My heart pounded and I stared at his eyes.Was he going to sleep with me because he finally considered me as his real wife?I knew myself very well.I wasn’t someone w

Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 44 Team of professionals
Although unsure of Marcelo’s intentions, Renee sensed it wasn't going to be favorable at all.Below, music played, and people danced wildly, their movements uninhibited.Some were drinking and dancing, others were intimately entwined.It was a scene of decadence."What are you suggesting?""Dance by that window. If you raise one hundred thousand dollars in bids, I'll persuade Wyatt for you."The Dove Island Club hosted a competition for female dancers every Saturday night, with the most popular dancer receiving a bonus.In this world, popularity often equated to financial gain, especially amongst the wealthy.“Marcelo, you want your woman to dance for others' amusement?" Renee was incredulous.Marcelo clarified, "Mrs. King, you are just my nominal wife, not my woman."Being his nominal wife and being his woman were distinctly different. The former could be a mere title, while the latter implied intimac

*RENEE*"I wasn't on a date with him! Hold on, have you been having me followed?"My eyes widened in disbelief.How else could Marcelo have known about my encounter with Andrew?Suddenly, I felt herself being lifted effortlessly by Marcelo.My world spun, and before I knew it, I was pushed against the sofa.My body twisted uncomfortably, but it was his firm grip on my jaw that truly unsettled me.I felt trapped, like a bird ensnared."You regret marrying me,huh?”His voice was cold, his face dangerously close to mine. "Can't get over him? You felt forced into this marriage? Marrying me only because he betrayed you? Is that it, Renee?""Having me followed?"I was incredulous and furious. "Marcelo, have you no respect for privacy?"Anger filled me, intensifying her frustration.His own anger manifested in chilling calmness. "Upset because you're embarrassed?"“What the fuck..."I scoffed at the absurd

*RENEE*I frowned, "What are you talking about?"“Of course I already know that you aren’t related to Naomi and I also know you take her as your Grandmother.Catherine told her that you tied the knot with Marcelo because of her. After getting married, you became Marcelo’s slave, a laughingstock in the social circuit.Naomi, all anxious, rushed to see you."Andrew’s words slithered in, injecting venom into my heart and squeezing the air out of me.“Renee,the truth is, you hurt Naomi!"Andrew had sought me out for this very reason,he knew what had happened from the start.It was no coincidence that he came driving around KM Group knowing I would come running out and that I would need a ride.Otherwise, how could there have been such a coincidental encounter where I happened to bump into him?My lips quivered as I asked, "How... How could Catherine stoop so low?"Naomi didn’t deserve this!Naomi had also taken good care of Catherine.Even if their ties weren't tight, Catherine shouldn't have
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 41 Nana’s missing
Catherine, who became a well-known figure in the entertainment industry after being recognized as the true daughter of the influential Hudson family, faced intense scrutiny.When news broke that she lost the STAR Jewelry endorsement from KM Group, the media and netizens were quick to react.Netizens mocked her online. "Just two days ago, she boasted about securing the endorsement, and now it's just a dream."“Catherine, the rich heiress, right? Maybe her parents can fix this. Hahaha!""Here's a funny story. Catherine claimed she secured the endorsement of the upscale jewelry brand STAR.""How can Catherine be so shameless? Going so far as pretending to be STAR’s spokesperson?"Reading these comments,Catherine furiously smashed her phone.Her agent let out a resigned sigh, instructed Catherine’s assistant to get a new phone, and tried to console her. "Ignore the comments. The internet's memory is short. They'll move on.""Why don't we suppress these comments?"Catherine asked, frustrate
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 40 Passionate about her career
Catherine was on the brink of losing her composure, hit by two setbacks in quick succession.Despite her best efforts, not only did she fail to undermine Renee but she also lost the endorsement."Renee, you have to stop right there. You..."“Catherine,let it go. Sign the termination agreement," her agent advised, gripping her arm. There was no turning back now. Any emotional outburst from Catherine would only worsen their situation, especially given KM Group's influence.Meanwhile, in the office, Renee reviewed the contract carefully. Satisfied that it was straightforward, she signed it.The legal department representative then informed her, "Miss Hudson, there's an additional requirement. The new co-stylist must meet our president.""This wasn't a requirement before." Renee raised an eyebrow, feeling something was off.The representative offered a lame explanation. "Due to recent complications, we've implemented this new rule."Renee, aware of who occupied the president's office on t
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 39 Renee’s decision
*MARCELO*She seemed serious about wanting to talk to me so I crossed my arms and asked.“What’s this about,Renee?”She moved closer to me and brought out a recording.I frowned as she played the recording.“Congratulations to our first place winner,Renee Hudson…”“Mr Glenn,I’ve agreed to your offer to endorse STAR.I’ll even reduce my fee by three million dollars,on one condition…Renee Hudson must not be your collaborative stylist.”“We announce Alicia Miguel as the selected stylist.Thank you to the other four stylists for participating.”I watched as Renee turned off the recording and then she said to me.“Mr King,KM Group’s policy states that the top scorer in the final interview becomes the co-stylist for your company.Isn’t it irregular for an employee to alter the rules for personal gain?I truly believed that I had a shot at KM Group because it had always prided itself about being fair and giving equal chances to all.This contradicts those values,doesn’t it?”Her stern,business-foc

Jason had a penthouse in Spain.He usually came here for business trips so he got the penthouse a long time ago.Jason and Lena got to his Penthouse at about 2:am.He turned on the lights as they walked in.“You should get some sleep.”He said as they walked into the master bedroom.“I need to take a shower first.”Lena replied.“Okay.”Lena peeled off her dress and bra.Her panties was still in his pocket.He watched her as she undressed.And sir tried not to feel shy about it.He found her so beautiful and she enjoyed his stares.“I’ll join you.”He whispered when she finished undressing.“Okay.”While he started to take off his clothes,Lena walked into the bathroom,she could see two light options.Turning both of them on,she realized one was brighter than the other so she turned off the brighter one.She had been using the bathroom in the other room but Jason wanted them to sleep on the same bedroom tonight.There was a light knock on the door.“Come in.”She whispered.The door opened an

Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 36 Never cease to amaze him
*RENEE*His response cut me off.I watched as he sat stoically on the opposite side of the car, his face an impassive mask, seemingly unaffected by his mother's distressing episode at the sanatorium.My curiosity was usually contained, but Jessica was an exception.In my middle school days, fraught with confusion and helplessness, watching Jessica on TV,learning about her success story,she had come from nothing and made a name for herself,that had encouraged me to pursue my dreams.Sitting up straight,I asserted, "Mr. King, as your lawful wife, I have a right to understand the situation with my mother-in-law."Marcelo turned towards me, noting my serious tone. He rolled down the window, letting in a gust of wind.“Renee, remember, curiosity kills the cat.""Fine," I muttered, my voice low. "But remember, your mother told you not to pick on me. I might just tell her about this next time.”“Go ahead," he said suddenly."What?"I was taken aback, not following his train of thought.Marcel
