Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 20 No choice
*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

*MARCELO*I was a light sleeper,the tiniest bit of noise woke me up.I had barely shut my eyes that night when I was awakened by footsteps.I opened my eyes to see Renee heading for the bathroom.My eyes remained open until she came out.It seemed as if she was barely awake because I was surprised when she slid into bed next to me.I sat up sharply as her scent enveloped me.She slept so soundly next to me,her peace seemingly unbreakable.I scoffed.How could she sleep so peacefully while my own peace was being shattered by her.Not fair.I laid back on the bed and tried to wake her up.It wasn’t fair that I was the only one who couldn’t sleep.With that,I called out.”Renee.”She didn’t stir.My voice grew louder.”Renee.”Instead of answering me,she nestled deeper into the pillow.Was she such a deep sleeper?My eyes dilated when she rolled over and placed her head on my chest.I blinked,nervously as she nestled against me,pressing her body on mine.My body stiffened,a suppressed groan

“No, it wasn't me!"Catherine blurted out in a knee-jerk reaction. But as she realized the undeniable truth in the surveillance footage, she quickly shifted her story. "I just lost my balance. It was an accident. I didn't mean to hit the table!"Renee was unaware of Catherine’s presence near the champagne tower since she was out of her line of sight. Now, she was convinced that Catherine had intended the incident.Marcelo, however, was uninterested in Catherine’s excuses.“I'm giving you a chance to apologize," he said sternly. He pointed to another champagne tower and instructed Catherine, "Go stand there and pull the table yourself."His demand wasn't unreasonable. He wanted Catherine to understand the potential harm she had nearly caused Renee.“No, I can't!"Catherine refused, shaking her head in terror and shielding her face.She feared the glass could cut her, potentially scarring her face. She then tried to shift the blame to Renee. "You weren't even hurt. You can't do this to me

"A marriage alliance..." Vivian muttered, her voice trailing off.The news had caught her completely off guard.Catherine’s satisfied grin grew wider as she saw the shock etched on Vivian’s face.“Miss Lambert, do you still see yourself as the other woman? Are you ready to be outplayed by someone so cunning?"“Why are you telling me this?" Vivian quickly regained her composure. "You're with Andrew. We both understand his connection to Marcelo. If I marry into the King family, the Lamberts will support Marcelo. That can't be good for you."It didn't make sense for Catherine to be helping her.Catherine just shrugged. "I can't stand watching that Renee enjoy a good life. Isn't that reason enough?"************The birthday ceremony then began. Paul had two sons and a daughter. Today, his daughter was notably absent. She was the family's outcast, having married young and moved abroad with her husband. She had almost cut all ties with the Kings.Renee vaguely recalled that she had been cl
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 173 No right
Renee watched Vivian with a knowing smile.Vivian, unable to utter the words, bit her silver teeth and continued to gaze at Marcelo, silently begging for his help.Considering her relationship with his brother, Marcelo reassured, "It's okay not to call her that."If his brother were still alive and married to Vivian, they would have referred to Vivian as "sister-in-law."Renee’s smile stiffened slightly, but it didn't matter to her. She didn't need Vivian’s acknowledgment as "sister-in-law," and the thought of it even disgusted her.She didn’t want Marcelo and Vivian to be seen as siblings.She wanted Vivian to have nothing to do with her husband.Was that too much to ask?Meanwhile,Jessica showed a keen interest in the piece Renee had composed and started discussing it with her.Finding the conversation uninteresting, Marcelo decided to step out to the balcony for a smoke. Seizing the opportunity, Vivian followed him.“Marcelo, are you angry with me for siding with your father today?"
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 172 Sister-in-law
Feeling a pit in her stomach,Renee was about to relinquish her hold when Marcelo spoke.“No, thank you." He refused Vivian directly.Marcelo waved in the direction of Damian, who was standing nearby. "Damian will keep you company.”Vivian and Damian were already acquainted.“Huh? Oh, sure. I'll take it from here,"Damian replied.He was startled at first, and then bewildered by the sudden task that was thrown in his face. But he didn't want Marcelo to leave Renee alone and go with another woman, so he agreed without a second thought.The smile froze on Vivian’s face, and her eyes darkened. She swallowed and quickly composed herself. "Well," she said, forcing another smile at Damian. "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the meantime."Damian paid no mind to her strained expression and carried on as he would with an old friend.“It's no trouble at all. We were just about to play dice, do you care to join us?Renee is quite good at it. Why don't you give it a try?"Damian offered.Wyat
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 171 Silence and embarrassment
At a high-end shopping center downtownNana’s clothes were easy to choose, as they only needed to be decent and comfortable. It didn't take long for Renee to pick out a set of clothes for her.Jessica, on the other hand, had a dignified temperament, but there was still a girlish look in her eyes. Renee spent over an hour, picking the right clothes for her.“Hello, please show this..."“Pack this dress for me!"Renee was about to ask the saleswoman to bring her the dress so that she could get a better look when a woman's arrogant voice interrupted her.“Miss Hudson, you also like that dress?" Alma, who just entered the shop arm-in-arm with a man, smiled at her smugly. "Too bad. Vivian wanted it for an elder of the King family."“Is that so?" Without hesitation,Renee snatched the dress from the saleswoman and strode straight to the cashier. "I'll take this dress, thank you."Whoever paid the bill owned the dress.Alma was stunned. She didn't expect that Renee would be so brazen!"Don't

Only by firmly embracing this woman did he truly feel her presence, as if this was the only way to ensure she wouldn't be taken away by anyone else.Seeing that her protests had no effect,Renee gave in.She remained seated on his lap, taking a sip of milk tea from the cup she had opened and then donned disposable gloves to begin eating the fried chicken.Why did she have the feeling that he had become so assertive without her even noticing? "Marcelo..."“What is it?" he replied without looking up from the documents, his profile still displaying its usual angular and somewhat aloof demeanor.“Do you like to…you know…have…make physical contact with me because you’re in love with me?”Renee had this question in mind but hesitated to voice it.She had noticed a change in his attitude, a growing closeness and indulgence between them. However, he had never explicitly expressed his feelings for her, even though she had made attempts to draw those wordsIn the end,Renee decided not to push fur

Renee frowned, clearly annoyed. But Vivian had presented a valid excuse for joining. Turning her down would make it look like she was causing unnecessary trouble.*************A comprehensive check-up had been set up by Wyatt, leaving Renee feeling a bit apprehensive when she spotted the progesterone and HCG test items on the list.Despite her assurance to Marcelo that she wasn't pregnant, he had taken the initiative to schedule tests to detect early pregnancy.This left Renee pondering whether Marcelo was secretly hoping for her to be carrying their child or if he was trying to prevent it from happening.It tugged at her heartstrings, as she couldn't help but lean towards the latter possibility.After all, they had consistently used birth control during their intimate moments, and Marcelo had never shown much interest in the prospect of parenthood. The only time he ever mentioned pregnancy and childbirth was during the heat of the moment, which Renee understood as mere empty words s
Secret Wife, Real Billionaire Chapter 168 To confirm
Renee didn't respond and continued upstairs, leaving Vivian behind in the room.Reaching the top of the stairs,Renee found herself regretting not having Chad escort Vivian out. She wondered if Vivian would leave on her own.Vivian stood there, seething with frustration.How dare Renee treat her like that?Chad appeared discreetly, hesitating.“Miss Lambert, would you like to stay, or..." His unfinished words implied that it was now time for her to leave.Vivian managed a strained smile. “Can I wait here for Marcelo? It's my first time at his house, and it seems inappropriate to leave so abruptly."“Of course,"Chad replied.In his mind, he found Vivian’s unannounced visit somewhat improper, given her lack of gifts or courtesies.In the meantime, a car stopped outside the main building of the mansion.The staff, once used to Marcelo being a workaholic, now observed him returning home on time each day.Entering the house, Marcelo immediately felt something was off.Before he could put hi

Catherine’s gloating tone was a stark contrast to her demeanor after being expelled from the University.“Oh, congratulations,"Renee responded, her tone indifferent.Why should Catherine’s pregnancy matter to her?She had no intention of spending any money on a baby shower gift.That money would be better spent elsewhere!Catherine, expecting a different reaction, noticed Andrew’s gaze lingering on Renee.Frustration washed over her face as her smile faded.“You better find a way to explain that past incident to Nana!" she snapped at Renee, then turned to Andrew. "Come on, let's show your parents the baby's report."“What incident?"Sarah inquired, puzzled.Renee just shook her head, feigning ignorance. "No idea what she's talking about."Yet, the need to explain things to Naomi was indeed pressing.Sarah, still confused, wondered aloud, "Is Catherine delusional? What the hell was going on in her head?"Renee speculated, "She's likely worried I still have feelings for Drew."Considerin
