The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 10: Your husband
Lydia drew a sharp breath at the sight of the man who had intruded on her space and immediately felt a new wave of fear. Surprise had her in a chokehold because she didn't anticipate this visit even though she should have. Was he here before she stepped out of the bathroom minutes ago to change, or did he come after? If he came in after, why didn't she hear the door open and the footstep that followed? And if he came before, did that mean he saw her nakedness? The thought of being seen by him sent an alarm through her head, and she felt uncomfortable.She had seen different sides of him today but never faced any of those in a physically vulnerable place. Vulnerable because this was the first time since meeting him that she was truly alone, and this man who terrified the very essence of her being stood feet away, staring at her like a lion stares at its prey before it devours them. She was no more than a prey with strength as frail as a worm."What are you doing in my room?" she demand

FlashbackA loud bang came on Jayden's prison cell, and he shook and pulled himself onto his elbow to see what the noise was about for an early morning. He found Finley Trump, the warder, standing before his cell, opening it up."Get up; you have a visitor." He said with a nonchalant tone."Who has a visitor?" Jayden's cellmate, Viktor Wade, asked from the lower bunk where he stayed.Finley glared at him for even asking. "You know who has a visitor because no one is coming for your ass." He replied harshly.Jayden didn't need to be told twice before he climbed off the bed and over to Finley, who put the cuffs on his wrist. He turned to Viktor, who seemed affected by the warder's harsh response and gave him an apologetic look before leaving."Who is waiting for me, sir?" Jayden asked, his curiosity getting the better of him."You will see when you get there," Finley replied grumpily, and from there on, they walked in silence.As they entered the visitor's room, Jayden found Rosie Queen

Jayden stopped at the desk of the secretary named Mandy Owens, and he smiled at her charmingly. The red-haired woman in a blue bodycon dress behind the counter stared up at him curiously, waiting for him to speak.“You are the most elegant secretary I have ever seen, and I’ve seen secretaries,” he said, staring at her in fascination.She blushed. “What do you want?”“I want to see your boss.” He whispered in a seductive tone.She bit her lips. “She’s currently in a meeting, but if you drop your name, I can put you on a schedule,” she suggested.His eyes darted towards the office, which belonged to Rosie. It had a privacy glass wall, and he couldn’t make out anything inside, so he turned to Mandy. “I don’t want to schedule an appointment. You see, I am an old friend of Rosie, and I came here to surprise her, so if I can wait for her to finish with her meeting?” he raised a suggestive brow at her.She chewed her bottom lip, thinking his words through before speaking. “Without an appoint

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

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

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

A small knock came over to the door, and it opened a few seconds later. Lydia didn't turn around to see who it was but figured if it were Ingrid, she would speak up.Just as expected, Ingrid spoke up. "Dinner is ready, ma'am," she said."Give me a minute." She pulled herself up from the bed she had laid on since returning with Miles hours ago and followed behind Ingrid.They came downstairs, and she found Jayden seated at the table, a sight she hadn't seen in a while. His presence at dinner began to decline after they slept together and had carried on until this point. For the past few days, she hadn't seen him, and now, suddenly, he returned to the table after what happened at the office. She would have felt horrible if she hadn't seen what she saw at the office."Good evening." She greeted him as she took her seat at the dinner table."Good evening," Jayden replied, and like always, they both returned to silence.Mark served the delicious meal before them, and in silence, they ate i
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 44: To Be Loved
The gazes of the three ladies around her came to rest on her, and they looked to have been swept away for whatever reason Lydia didn't know. She knew what she said, and nothing warranted the look they were all giving her now.Grace clamped her hands and brought them up to rub her face, holding the biggest look of adoration among the three, "Aww, to love and be loved." she cooed, her smile beaming.Lydia almost said she didn't love Jayden White, but she pressed her lips together; that was the point-they were to pretend like they were in love. The only problem about that was she wasn't pretending; everything she just said and the manner in which she said it was not an act, so how could Grace mistake it for love?Except it was, and that scared her more than she thought it would. These past few weeks have been a rollercoaster. Was that why being ignored by him, for the most part, hurt? She had no understanding why that was; Jayden hadn't changed his behaviour, but her feelings for him had
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 43: The Best of Men
Time flies, especially when you don’t want it to. Three weeks had gone by, and a lot had happened. Going back to work felt like ease. She resumed her role like nothing had happened, and though there were whispers behind her back, none dared bring it to her face. She wasn’t just their boss; she was Mrs. White, the wife of Jayden White, the owner of the White estate company. Many bestowed their fear of Jayden onto her, and as much as it helped keep unneeded attention away, she wasn’t that kind of person. She didn’t rejoice that others feared her, and she was sure the same could be said about Jayden. They had a preconceived notion about him, and he didn’t look willing to address it, just like he never corrected her when she thought the worst of him. After she returned to the office, the police reached out to her so she could recount her testimony of the incident that took place four weeks ago for further pushing their investigation. Though Lydia told the police she had been there to mee
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 42: Realisation
The rich masculine smell was the first thing to fill Lydia's nose as her consciousness returned, and she wanted to bury herself further into it and never get up. Her eyes opened and fixed on the ceiling, unable to think of anything else but what she knew happened last night. They had gotten intimate, and she had shown Jayden all of her, and he did the same. Her body experienced heights she didn't think existed at his hands-heights she never knew about, and it felt as though it was his calling. The man Jayden White had owned her last night; every part of her body bore witness to his authority and control, and he knew just what to do with his mouth, his hands, and his tongue. She didn't want to think about it for fear of wanting more; it was that good. She turned to the side of the bed where he had laid last night after he took everything she had to offer, but it was empty.He was gone, and the realisation made her heart ache a little. Last night wasn't supposed to happen-it wasn't supp
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 41: His downfall
Lydia reflected on everything throughout the drive back home. She hadn't been here in five days, and though she was returning because Miles had awakened, there was a long way from how she once felt. Jayden was still angry with her, and he might even hate her as he should. There were many things to apologise for; being stupid was one of them. Anthony had capitalised on her stupidity three years ago, and that's the same thing that had happened last week.There was no way of undoing what had already been done; the only way out of it was through, one step at a time while hoping for the best.The car came to a stop in front of the house, and George opened the door for her. She stepped down, and he went to the boot to pull out the carry bag with all her essentials and followed her with it. Lydia pushed open the front door and stepped into the house, and there she found Ingrid descending the stairs.A smile crossed the young maid's face, probably noting that her presence also meant Miles had

Guilt. Those five words should be longer for the effect they have on the human heart. It was what Lydia felt throughout the next few days that followed. She remained at the hospital where Miles stayed after his emergency surgery to remove the bullet, which was successful.Miles' wife and his seven-year-old son had arrived at the hospital the following day as they lived in another state. They came to be with him and did not leave his side. The doctors informed them he would regain consciousness any moment now, and they all looked forward to it. Phoebe was a friendly, kind and welcoming woman, and his son Andrew had been such an amazing company. They asked her to go home four days ago after they arrived, and she told them she wouldn't be able to go home until he regained consciousness. That was the punishment for her stubbornness. She had risked the safety and comfort of Phoebe and the future of Andrew by not thinking about her decision; this was the reminder.Jayden had also visited, a
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 39: Reality happened
Blood coursed through Jayden's veins, and every word he uttered made his heart beat even faster. He wanted to hurt her; he wanted to cause her as much discomfort as she caused him and make her suffer and feel the full extent of his wrath. The last thing he expected was a call from George telling him everything that had happened and how Lydia had gotten them into it, and so instead of coming home like the three were supposed to, they were now in the hospital. If she was there to meet Anthony and almost got shot instead, it meant the snake of a man had tried to wipe her out, wanting to keep the truth a secret. He would bury Anthony for this and make sure he would never see the light of day, both he and his boss, Killian Jakob. They would regret the day they crossed him. Jayden felt so angry on the way over that he blacked out a few times. Good thing Adam had chosen to drive him because he wouldn't have been able to do that himself without running the risk of an accident. After he arr
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 38: The blame
Lydia stayed in the waiting room of St. Donald Hospital with her head buried in her palm. Her shirt had blood stains and needed to be changed, but she didn't care. It had been over twenty minutes since their arrival, and she still couldn't get past what had happened. One minute, everything was fine, and the next minute, nothing was okay. She had never seen such a terrifying sight in all her life. Miles had dropped to the ground, bleeding from his mouth, and she had screamed at the top of her voice in fear and terror, fearing the worst had happened to him.George was quick because he was already reversing the car to where they were even before she noticed Miles' wounds. He came to them on the ground and helped Miles into the car before driving off. He had instructed her to put pressure on the wound on Miles' side, and she had taken off her jacket to do that. Miles was barely unconscious, and Lydia prayed, begging him to hold on even as he lost more blood.George drove with rage and muc
The Billionaire She Sent To Prison Chapter 37: Old Friends
Jayden had said many things at dinner yesterday, one of which was asking her to take accountability for her lies that sent him to jail. Mary had also called her a liar when she found out Lydia had been the one whose testimony put Jayden in jail. The older woman was convinced that her testimony was falsified against Jayden but it wasn't. Lydia testified to what she saw—what she saw when she went with Anthony to the White Estate company building. Jayden believed she lied and had not changed his conviction, and so did Mary; then, perhaps there was more to this than she knew. What if what she knew was a lie? What if it was all set up? What if she was also bait in the grand scheme? She would have said Anthony wouldn't do such a cruel thing to her, but that man had no integrity or moral compass and would gladly do anything to get ahead. She heeded to confront him and look him in the eyes while she accused him of using her to frame Jayden White for a crime he didn't commit. This way, she wo
