I got out of the car and walked towards the main door, a few people greeted me kindly. Then, the main door opened.
"Hi, Lizzie. I didn't expect you to come here looking for me. What's wrong? Did you miss me?" A young man with a messy appearance asked me. He smiled condescendingly at me.I was so sick of looking at his face. A few hours ago I had been relieved not to find him in the party crowd, but apparently he had been here first."I had expected that you would come back to me again to beg for my love. I'm impressed that you were able to know my whereabouts, until you found out I was at my uncle's house," he said. That man was Jack, he was my jerk ex-boyfriend."Jack, watch your language! You should be polite to your uncle's wife." A grown man's voice was heard, I glanced back, and James was already here. Earlier he told me to go into the house first, because he was taking a call from someone."What? What do you mean, Uncle?" Jack looked confused.James put his arm around me intimately. Then he said to Jack, "Lizzie is my wife. She's the woman I just married three hours ago.""You should have come to my wedding at the Velox hotel, because I had invited you too. But I understand that you won't be able to wake up in the morning because of your all-night hangover. That's why you couldn't come to your uncle's wedding, right?" James smiled sarcastically.I saw that Jack's facial expression was still surprised. He probably didn't expect that his uncle was going to marry me, his ex whom he had cheated on."What are you doing coming to my house? Do you want to borrow my money again?" James asked again."Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle. I couldn't come to your wedding. I wish you both a happy marriage.""Sorry, I have to go now."Jack just left without telling his purpose for coming to James' house."Lizzie, will you marry me? I want to make you my wife, the queen of my life, and the only porn star who can fulfill my sexual desires. You can take revenge on my nephew, who has hurt you and betrayed your love. I guarantee you will live a happy life, with lots of money and love from me."That's what James told me yesterday. And now, I am his wife. A grand wedding party in a luxury hotel, prepared in just one day, and that could only be done by James, the richest man in this city.Yeah, we all know that with money, sometimes we can do anything quickly."Are you happy?" he asked when we were in the bedroom.I sat in front of the mirror, looking at my face there which was wearing a little makeup, but made me very beautiful.James wrapped his arms around my neck, and he hugged me from behind. A hug of love, he also kissed both my cheeks."Yes. I'm very happy." I replied and smiled."Don't think about many things, Sweety. From now on, you are my wife. You don't need to work, just serve me as a husband and shop whatever you want. Have fun doing the things you love. Now, I am your money machine, and my assets will be transferred to you. Everything will be shifted to your name." James said as he winked one eye at me.I was shocked, and didn't expect that a James who was known as an assertive and ambitious billionaire would hand over his assets to me. Didn't I hear it wrong?"Uncle...Hmmm...I mean James..""Don't call me by my name. Please call me by any lovey nickname you want." James protested slightly. I had called him Uncle, because he was my ex's uncle.Yes, Jack was my ex-boyfriend who was such a jerk, he had fucked another girl on our two year anniversary. And you know what? The girl he was fucking was my best friend."So, what were you going to say?" My daydream was interrupted by James."Babe, didn't I hear you wrong?" I asked."What do you mean?""I mean, you said you were going to hand over all your assets to me. Why do you trust me so much?"James broke his embrace with me, he moved to sit on the side of the bed."Can't I do this to my wife? You're my wife, so all my assets are yours.""But...is that not going to be a problem?" I asked reassuringly.James shook his head. "No one would blame it. I live alone, my parents are dead. I only have two older sisters, but they already have their own families. Besides, I've struggled all this time to get my success. No one contributed to my success.""Lizzie, I've been watching you for a long time. Since you were Jack's girlfriend. Even I know you were never treated well by him and his family. Jack's mom, who is my biological sister, always accused you of being a bad influence on her son. I know that."I was shocked, and I didn't expect James to know that my past relationship with Jack was toxic. That meant he had a spy to monitor me."I like you, and I love you very much. I promise I will make your self-esteem very valuable in front of everyone who has ever humiliated you, Lizzie. Of course, we'll give a lesson to Jack, who treated you badly in the past."James said as he looked into my eyes. Even I really know the look in his eyes is so sincere. Ah, why do I feel mesmerized by him? Yes, he is known to be a very cool and hot Billionaire. Many young women like him, even they often attract James' attention with coquettish and sexy style. But I didn't expect James to choose me as his wife.I was just an ordinary girl, and came from a poor family. I only had a father who worked as one of the city's garbage pickup men. Before that I worked as an employee at a textile company, and that was one of James' companies.My life changed a hundred percent, from a poor girl to be Mrs. James, a woman married to a billionaire."Come here, Sweety. It's our first night. You know what we should do, right?" James' heavy voice made me smile up at him.Tonight, James invited his two sisters over for dinner at our house. He wanted to formally introduce me to his family. I felt a bit nervous thinking that my ex-boyfriend's mother would come and might say something bad. She'd always thought of me as a pest around her son, so she'd definitely think the worst when she saw me with James.I stared at my appearance in the mirror, looking absolutely stunning in the expensive dress James had given me. My old cheap clothes had been put away and replaced with dresses and gowns from famous designers.I brushed my shoulder-length hair for a moment, then put on my wedding ring. My feelings for James might not be called 'love' yet, but I feel very happy now.Somehow James can always make me smile with his words."Sweety, are you done?" James appears at the door in his expensive tuxedo. He comes closer and hugs my waist intimately. My lips automatically smiled when he gave me a sweet kiss on the top of my head."Yes. Is your family here yet?""On t
Maria and Vivi looked like they were going to explode at James' words. Their eyes seemed to be about to jump out of their sockets, while their neck veins tightened.I was quite surprised myself, even though James had talked about it on our wedding day. I just didn't expect him to say it in front of his sisters who clearly hated me.This man really was serious about what he said.Deep in my heart, there was a sense of emotion that arose. Although on the other hand, James and his two brothers seemed to be at odds because of his words just now.Vivi let out a rough breath. "OMG, James. Why did you trust her so quickly and give her your treasure? Have you lost your brain?"James shook his head. "Not at all, Vivi. I wanted to do it myself. Lizzie never influenced me and you can't blame her for my decision.""I disagree." Maria clucked loudly and gave me an annoyed look. "Look at what that poor woman has done to you. It's only been a few days and you've already given her your entire fortune
Tonight James took me to a nightclub. He really knows how to find entertainment for young people like me.We arrived at the club with a tight escort by some of James' bodyguards. And it made everyone in the club marvel at our arrival.James sweetly invited me to sit in front of the bar, while he ordered drinks from the bartender."Oh isn't that Lizzie, Jack's ex-girlfriend?"My forehead wrinkled at the mention of my name. I turned to the source of the voice and was surprised to see Jack's presence with his friends.They were sitting on a sofa not far from the bar. They all looked at me, then my gaze fell on Jack who seemed to widen at my appearance. He was clearly surprised to see my style that was different from usual."Gosh, why does Lizzie look so different now? Hey Jack, you're so stupid for betraying the love of a beautiful girl like her," said one of his friends.Well, all of Jack's friends knew that I was his ex. But I didn't care about that at all anymore.I looked over at Jac
Jack glanced at me, James, and the four men preparing to execute him in turn.He looks so confused.He looked back at me for a long moment, then swallowed. His expression looked so bitter, as if he was embarrassed to ask me for help.Was he really going to do it?I knew how big Jack's arrogance was. He always thought of me as a poor woman and kept insulting me when I was with Flona, so I knew he must feel reluctant to do James' command.But he also had no other choice. Unless, he'd rather be beaten up by the four debt collectors who had set up at their place."Are you serious about all this, Uncle?" Jack gave a frustrated look."Of course. Do or do not," James said.I smiled, actually still feeling surprised by everything James did. I never told him about the sad end of my relationship, but he seemed to know everything. He did me a great favor in front of Flona and her circle of friends.Did James actually know about what happened? He always defended me over Jack and his family."Come
I took my husband's arm and waltzed away after answering elegantly. Jack was screaming my name in frustration, I could feel the desperation and anger in his voice.After admitting his mistake, he must have thought that I would help him.I didn't. I was no longer Lizzie that he could use at will.My lips pulled into a faint smile. After all this time, it feels like I'm only now feeling this satisfied. However, this is just the beginning. I won't forgive Jack that easily."LIZZIE! LIZZIE, STOP RIGHT THERE! YOU'RE A LIAR! YOU'RE A CHEATER! I APOLOGIZED BUT YOU JUST WALKED AWAY?! HEIII!!!"Jack shouted madly again. I completely ignored him and tightened my grip on James."UNCLE! UNCLE HELP ME! PLEASE!"James sighed and also ignored Jack's shouting. He whispered in my ear and told me to keep going. The clubbers were getting noisier as Jack continued to scream like a man possessed.When we arrived at James' car, I looked over one last time. Right there, Flona was already on her knees and se
I froze in front of the room's large mirror and thought about James' story earlier.If he had noticed me and felt attracted since I was with Jack, it meant that he had liked me for almost two years. Secretly too.Looking back, I did often catch James looking at me when I was still working at one of his companies. His gaze seemed to be burning with something, but back then, I thought it was just my hallucination.I thought, how could James, who is a billionaire in this city, be interested in a poor woman like me?Moreover, I thought that Jack's whole family hated me, including James who was his uncle.But now, my life was completely opposite.I stare at the luxurious nightgown I'm wearing, and it's even more expensive than all my old, shabby clothes. James had bought me all kinds of dresses with stunning designs.Tonight, I deliberately wear a sheer nightgown with lace on the chest. The cut is sexy and the fabric is see-through. Just by imagining James' reaction, my cheeks instantly fe
How can someone look so good while sleeping?I smiled to myself at that question. After being awakened by the sound of twigs scratching against the window, I was immediately confronted with an eye-pleasing sight.James was still asleep, facing me. His arms hugged my waist tightly. The blanket covering our nakedness had already slipped down to my thighs, but I was reluctant to move from my position.My chest heaved again as I recalled the events of last night. It felt so intimate and sweet. Every time James touched my body, it felt as if there was an inner bond connected between the two of us."James?" I called in a low voice. I just wanted to know if he was awake or not, but James didn't react at all.Slowly, I reached out my hand and felt his delicate face. My fingers moved down to his firm jaw, then stopped at his full lower lip.The charm that James possessed was undeniable.My lips unconsciously curved into a faint smile. I placed my hand on his warm chest, I could feel his racing
James and I rushed to the front door.In the living room, we could already hear Maria's thunderous screams. She was calling my name with James, telling us to get out.What was wrong with that woman again?As soon as the door opened, Maria rushed in with wide strides. Her face was flushed and her breathing was rising and falling rapidly, as if she had just been running for hours."YOU! YOU SHIT WOMAN!" she pointed at my face. I winced and she yelled back angrily, "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY SON!"I was getting more and more confused, but then the events of last night replayed in my head. The incident at the bar when I refused to help Jack. It was obvious that Maria had come because of that."What's going on, Maria? Please watch what you say to my wife and don't yell in my house," James said, putting his arm around my waist.Maria snorted and looked like she wanted to grab my hair. "This is all your fault too, James! Jack got beat up because you refused his request! Jack also told me th
I began to understand many things about the business and its intricacies.Over the weeks when James kept bringing me to his office, I started to help him with his projects.Maybe I'm not as competent as James yet, but I'll keep honing my skills. For now, he was focused on working on his new hotel project with an overseas client.So far there have been no problems, even Maria and Vivi no longer come to visit to make a mess. Jack has also refrained from causing trouble after being given a stern warning by James.I wonder how long they will continue to restrain themselves?"Are you done, darling? Nothing left?" James asked in the doorway, looking at me who had just finished changing. The beige blouse I was wearing had spilled quite a lot of curry, so I had to change it. James quickly ordered new clothes for me, before I could even ask him.He's very sensitive in every way.Especially this afternoon, we intended to stop by a restaurant for dinner together.I grabbed my bag and took James'
I didn't expect the heavy rain this morning.After James left for work, I decided to go grocery shopping at the supermarket. Since I was starting to cook for him, I wanted to buy the ingredients I wanted myself. James wasn't a picky eater, but I still wanted to ask him what he liked.I sighed and sat on the bench in front of the supermarket. I placed two large plastic bags right next to me. As a conglomerate, people might feel surprised to see me shopping alone.I like doing this, without caring about what other people think.'I like your simplicity, the way you are'.Those words rang in my head again. I smiled as I recalled James' shady expression. Despite being his wife and holding all his money, I wasn't going to squander any of it. I just wanted to repay the people who had always insulted me.I reached out my hand, touching the cold water that was falling like an icy shower. My gaze moved to the opposite side of the supermarket, looking at the boutique that was open.There were t
"Does it still hurt? Shall we go to the doctor?""No need." I touched James' hand and shook my head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. I just need to put some gel on it to make the marks disappear."James let out a rough breath. I could tell he was still angry about what happened. Even when we had arrived home, he didn't stop noticing my flushed cheeks. Maria had slapped me so hard with her big hand that it had left a mark on my cheek."I can't forgive her. Maria always does whatever she wants and I tried to hold back because she's my sister, but now, I really can't take it anymore." James chuckled softly, the inflamed resentment coming to the surface again.I squeezed James' hand and rested my head on his shoulder. I stroked his sweat-dampened chest, then my hands rested on his strong neck."I know you're very upset by Maria's actions. I feel the same way, but I don't want you to dwell on it like this," I said, worried that James would be plagued with anxiety every day. "How about you take a
All the employees stared in confusion as they were gathered on the first floor.I took my father's hand and stood next to James, while Jack stood some distance away. He just kept staring at his feet."As a new employee in my company, I want you to abide by all the rules," James said in a big voice. He pulled Jack closer and motioned for him to stand in front of my father. "I don't like employees who are trouble makers, let alone authority figures, when they're just 'regular employees'. Just because we're related, doesn't mean you can act like an overnight boss."James deliberately emphasized his last sentence and Jack's face turned sour.The employees started whispering, because they knew that Jack was James' nephew who was notorious for causing trouble. And on his first day of work, he had already made James angry.Jack would never learn from his mistakes."Now, I want you to kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lincoln."James gave the order and everyone stared in surprise, especially Ja
Overcast clouds hung in the sky and the wind came sweeping in like a blizzard. I shuddered and tightened my coat. With the end of summer approaching, it seemed like the frequency of rain would increase these days.James opened the door before I could do so, and he held out his hand. I accepted it with a happy smile, then looked at the towering building in front of us.This morning, James and I went to his office together. James wants me to take part in every meeting he has. That way, I can learn more about the business that James is involved in.James is a true workaholic. He does his job perfectly, leaving no stone unturned to make his clients feel unsatisfied. That's why at his age, he can already taste his success.I want to work with a competent person like James. And today, he intends to show me how he controls the company.When we stepped inside, the employees who passed by immediately greeted us. They bowed respectfully and greeted politely, while James replied briefly.Their e
James' birthday celebration was going to be lively.I stared at the building that had been decorated with a simple design, adapted to James' age of 41. The gray color dominated, while the main beverage was the finest expensive wine ordered by James himself.There was no birthday cake, just a jumbo-sized roast turkey placed in the center of the room, right underneath a hanging golden chandelier.James' birthday celebration party was more like a formal party attended by people from the upper class. My eyes are filled with an array of expensive suits and dresses, all shouting out their abundant wealth.Tonight, I'm wearing a sexy and elegant red silk dress, as well as the jadeite necklace James picked out for me. My hair is left down with a small clasp on the side of my head.James himself is wearing a luxurious black tuxedo. His hair is neatly slicked back, with cologne that gives off a distinctly masculine scent.We stood at the opening of the main hall for a moment. James took my hand
"Just give me a hot night as a birthday present, how about it darling?"I'm sure my cheeks are burning hot right now. I didn't expect to hear that answer this morning, in James' sexy raspy voice after waking up.Last night when we chatted before bed, I ventured to ask about the gifts James liked. I chose to ask directly, considering James might have a special preference.When I insisted, he said he wanted something that money couldn't buy. And apparently... his wish really surprised me.Not that I refused. Every night, James always gave me a lot of pleasure, so I would give him the same. Whatever he wants."How's Sweety?"I pretended not to hear his question and was busy arranging the pancakes on the plate."Trying to ignore me, hm?" James stood behind me and slowly turned my body around. I wanted to look down, but James didn't let me by cupping my cheeks.My laughter broke out as James brought his face forward and kissed the top of my nose. "You're not good at lying."I could only no
I got out of the car with James, and Maria quickly approached. From the hardened look on her face, I could tell she was angry.But what was she so upset about now?I didn't feel like I'd done anything wrong. There was no way she was upset like that because of James, either. I knew very well that the anger was directed at me, especially the sharp gaze that was now directed at me.Vivi came closer, her hands folded in front of her chest. She looked disgusted to see me together with James."Maria, Vivi, what are you doing here? Did something happen to Jack again?" James finally opened his voice at their silence. He pulled my hand towards the door, while Maria and Vivi followed behind. Their high heels tapped the tile floor very loudly. For some reason they seemed to be trying to vent their frustration."It's not about Jack, but your reckless decision, James," Maria said.James' decision?I frowned, but chose to keep my mouth shut. We all sat on the living room sofa, while James sent the
What should I buy as a gift?I lingered in front of the window as I thought of something James might like. James was always surrounded by luxurious and classy things, so I was at a loss as to what to buy him.Of course, James didn't demand me to give him a gift, but as his wife, I also wanted to celebrate his birthday.In three days, his birthday celebration would be held.A breeze swept across my face, then I leaned my head against the windowpane. The scent of petrikor filled my nostrils after the drizzle. I sighed and tried to think of another gift that money couldn't buy."Sweety?"The call made my head turn to James. He had just stepped out of the shower with a towel hanging low on his hips.My eyes involuntarily fixated on his abdominal muscles that contracted as James moved. James had exotic tan colored skin, and it only added to his attractiveness."Enjoying the view, darling?" asked James and I gasped, only just realizing what I was doing.James ran a towel through his wet hai
