The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 13: Countdown
There are three hundred and fifty-one days more to go. It had been two weeks since Lydia's unfortunate imprisonment called marriage to Jayden White, the devil himself. She had stood at the window every day, every day watching to see if Jayden would return, but every day in the last thirteen had ended with no sign of him. His absence would have brought her peace if she didn't know he planned to destroy her.The days had been slow, the clock counted down at a slower pace, and yesterday had gone down the slowest, which drove her insane. Jayden White had left thirteen days ago after their fight and hadn't come back, and everyone working in the house had continued as if nothing was wrong. It seemed they were already used to his absence. The penthouse had always represented glamour and wealth, but in Lydia's reality, it was a prison.She had consoled herself by thinking about the one-million-dollar compensation, which she broke down to $2739 per day and $114 per hour. She kept her mind on t

"Lydia. Where are you?" Kevin Mars called out, stepping into the bedroom and not finding her. "Lydia, where are you?" Kevin Mars worked at a dairy farm seven hours drive from home, having dropped out of high school a year prior, so he left early and got back sometimes after a twelve-hour shift. Since he was barely home now, their parents, Claris and Michael, had turned their abuse on her and disciplined her when they felt like it, and sometimes it didn't make sense. Whenever Kevin was leaving, Lydia would ask him to take her along, but he told her it was work and here was better. Here wasn't better, and Lydia didn't understand why he would say that. "Under here," she replied, pulling up from under the bed so he could see her. His hazel eyes narrowed at her in confusion. "Why are you staying there?" "Mom says she will whip me when she gets home for being a naughty girl this morning. She wanted me to have cucumber, but I always feel sick whenever I go to school after eating cucumber.

The drive to the Lockwood grand hall, where this year's business people submit took 36 minutes, and they arrived at 7:40 p.m. Lydia didn't know if this meant they were early or late, but she found other attendees entering the hall and assumed they were early. Adam opened the door of the Rolls Royce, and Lydia found Jayden not only out of the car but standing before her with his hand stretched to help her out. She reluctantly gave him his hand and felt the charge run through her as they touched, but she brushed the feeling away, and if Jayden felt anything, he didn't behave like he did. Her legs touched the ground, and without giving her a second to adjust, Jayden closed the space between them and wrapped his arms around her waist. Lydia immediately trembled, unable to play off or ignore the effect of his closeness and touch anymore. "Are you okay?" Jayden asked. She glanced up and found his intense gaze on her. Lydia looked away and cleared her throat to ease the awkwardness. "I'm
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 16: Response
Jayden held Lydia close as they stepped into the meet and greet hall where the drinks would be served and they would get to speak and interact with other guests. He noticed Lydia hadn't spoken since his grand announcement. He had expected her silence, and her discomfort gave him great pleasure. "Jayden Lee White," Oliver Plane, Jayden's friend, said as he approached them. He had a look that showed he was more than surprised to only have heard the news now. "Not only are you the ground-breaking business owner of the year, you are also married. The surprise just keeps increasing!" Jayden smiled, "Oliver," and stretched his hand to Oliver, who reluctantly took it. They shook hands before pulling away. Oliver's attention moved to Lydia and then back to Jayden. "So married, uh?" "Yes, this is Lydia White, my wife." Jayden introduced him, pulling Lydia closer and feeling her subtle rebellion. Lydia shook hands with Oliver, and the two introduced themselves to each other. "You got marr
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 17: Different breeds
Lydia emptied the glass of wine Jayden had handed her a few minutes ago into her mouth as she watched him disappear into the hallway to the bathroom. She wished she could say she felt better in his absence, but she didn't. She felt out of place and knew she didn't belong here. If only leaving was an option she could take, she would have; sadly, it wasn't.Learning that Jayden White was in the real estate business surprised Lydia because whenever she had thought about him in the last weeks, she didn't see him as having an everyday business. A mafia or drug lord would have been accepted, not real estate. Perhaps she was harsh in her judgment, but he wasn't a decent man, so she expected his business to portray that part of him. She had been in the real estate business for more than three years, working with Jakob Investment, the leading real estate company in the country, and knew little about White Estate. She should have known more; her ignorance of simple things now annoyed her. She
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 18: Family and friends
Jayden still had three more reports to assess when the door to his office flew open, forcing him to look up to see who it might be. He found Maxwell Fitzgerald, his best friend of over a decade, standing in his office looking like a fire-breathing bull, ready to spear him out of his seventh-floor office. Jayden knew Oliver's reaction at the business people submit was mild compared to what Max's reaction would be, and he was right. Oliver was his friend and a part of the troublemakers' cliques, but Max was Jayden's best friend, and they had never kept anything from each other until now.Max has been away with Nina, his girlfriend, in the past week, celebrating their sixth month together as a couple, and from Jayden's calculation, they arrived this morning. Judging from his green polo and black jeans, Jayden was safe to assume that Max had arrived from the airport instead of going home with Nina.Jayden set his pen down and leaned back on his seat to acknowledge his friend's presence.

The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 19: The great escape plan
Lydia had kept a close eye to ensure everything fell into place. In the morning, Ingrid would come to her door and request that she take a bath at precisely 7:04 a.m. and have breakfast ready between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m., depending on how long she would spend in the bathroom.Breakfast would take thirty minutes downstairs, and Ingrid would escort her back to her room. Next was lunch, which would be at precisely 1:15 p.m. every day, and that would take between twenty and thirty minutes like other days, then leave for her room. She would remain in her room until Ingrid returned at 4 p.m. to take her for a walk, which Jayden had permitted her to go on since the past week. Her walk would last for approximately thirty minutes, and then she would return inside while Ingrid joined the cook, making dinner in the kitchen. Dinner was usually at 6:55 p.m. and would take not less than thirty minutes; most times, Jayden made himself available. However, she didn't need to calculate the dinner for h
