The Billionaire's 200-Day Bride Chapter 15: A Taste Of His Own Medicine
“Wi… William Newman’s wife?” Oliver stammered, his voice trembling as the weight of those words sank in.He stared at Alexis in disbelief, his mind racing to comprehend the revelation. It couldn’t be true, could it? There had been no rumors, no whispers in the media about William Newman being in a relationship, let alone married. The news outlets, always eager to pry into the life of the business magnate, had never reported such a thing.“What the hell are you saying? Do you think I’m stupid enough to fall for that nonsense?” Oliver spat angrily, his voice carrying a mix of defiance and desperation.Alexis smirked, his expression calm and mocking. “You won’t be saying that once he gets here.” he replied, his tone laced with amusement.Turning to the guards, Alexis issued a cold command. “Untie the waiter and turn him over to the police. He’s irrelevant now.”As the guards began untying the unconscious waiter, Alexis glanced back at Oliver with a grin. “As for him,” he said, nodding to

The taxicab dropped her off in front of The Harrison mansion—her father’s house. Earlier, she had received a call from Belinda summoning her back home. She was about to refuse, but on second thought, she agreed to come. It was finally time to make things clear with them once and for all.Heaving a deep breath, she stepped forward and entered the mansion. She was greeted by the maids, who guided her to the living room where they were waiting for her.The moment she stepped in, she was met with their disapproving faces—a look she was all too familiar with.“Father,” Jessica called.Leon tossed a newspaper in her direction. Jessica looked down at it and saw her name in the headlines.“Tell me, what is the meaning of this?” Leon said, standing up. “What sort of connection do you possibly have with one of the higher-ups? Don’t you know this is affecting Belinda’s career and fame? You’re stealing her spotlight!”Jessica smiled bitterly. Of course, this was going to be about Belinda again.“

Jessica turned to look at him with furrowed brows. She crossed her arms and raised a brow before speaking.“Oh, so now you're spying on me?” Jessica asked.“I asked a question, and I demand an answer,” William replied.Jessica frowned. “Really? And how did my personal life become any of your business? You don't have any right to question me about who I see and who I don't. You were the one who made the rules, remember? For us not to meddle in each other's private lives. You made the rule, so stick to it.”She scoffed and looked ahead. “Now, if you'll excuse me, I need some rest. Goodnight,” she said and walked up the remaining stairs.William just stared at her retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly.“What is wrong with me?” he muttered to himself._________The next day, Jessica woke up to a sunny morning. After taking a shower, she headed downstairs for breakfast. Entering the dining room, the delicious aroma of food wafted through the air, making her appetite grow.“Good mor

Alexis took a seat across from Jessica and Rachael before smiling charmingly.“Pardon my tardiness; I had to attend an urgent meeting,” he said. “My name is Alexis Rodgers, CEO of this company. It's a pleasure meeting you.” He stretched his hand forward.Jessica accepted his handshake. “Jessica Belles, and this is my manager, Rachael Spencers,” Jessica introduced.Rachael jolted in surprise when Jessica mentioned her. Alexis turned to look at Rachael, who was trying her best to avoid his gaze. He smiled and stretched his hand toward her.“It's a pleasure meeting you,” he said.Rachael hesitantly shook his hand. “Same here,” she muttered.“So,” Alexis began, flipping through some pages in a file, “We would like you to collaborate with us for our magazine cover next week. Going through your past photoshoots, you seem really talented,” Alexis said.Jessica smiled. “Thank you, sir. It'll be an honor to work with you,” she said.“Great! My personal assistant will communicate the date of th

A brief moment of silence settled between them as Jessica stared at William with wide eyes, utterly speechless. She had been expecting him to get angry or glare at her like he usually did, but him admitting he was jealous was the last thing on her mind.The air between them suddenly felt tense and awkward. Her eyes widened in alarm when William took a step closer to her. She subconsciously stepped back, but William closed the gap by taking another step forward.“Umm... W... Wh—” Before she could form a coherent word, William casually took the food flask from her hand and walked to his seat.He sat down, opened the flask, and grabbed the spoon. “Let’s hope the food isn’t poisoned,” he said nonchalantly.Jessica rolled her eyes. “I really wish it were,” she muttered.Surprisingly, William chuckled at her remark, a faint smile playing on his lips. He ate a spoonful of the food and chewed slowly.“So...” Jessica muttered, “How is it?”William swallowed, his expression neutral. “Feels like

“Is it me, or are you shy right now?” William asked, amused.Jessica quickly pushed him away and took several steps back, her cheeks tinged with embarrassment.“What were you trying to do just now?” she demanded, glaring at him with narrowed eyes.William shrugged nonchalantly. “I was doing nothing. You were just imagining... things,” he replied, smirking.Jessica scoffed, crossing her arms. “About earlier—you said you were jealous of Evan…” she trailed off, unsure how to phrase her thoughts.William nodded, as though it was the most natural thing in the world. “Yes. Can’t I have the right to feel jealous?” he asked, raising a brow.Jessica stared at him, her expression shifting between disbelief and frustration. She finally rolled her eyes. “What was I even thinking? A man who’s as clueless in romance as you will definitely be saying such words without realizing the weight of them,” she thought to herself, concluding she had read too much into his statement.“Is it just me, or are yo

Jessica walked in and took her seat next to William, who didn’t tear his gaze away from her from the moment she entered, obviously surprised to see her there.“What are you doing here?” William asked in a low tone, audible only to Jessica.“Attending the wedding, of course. Louis invited me,” Jessica said nonchalantly.Concern flashed in William’s eyes. “Are you sure you’re okay with it? I mean, Louis... he’s your...”Jessica smiled reassuringly. “William, I’m perfectly fine. He’s in the past, and that’s where he belongs,” she said firmly.Just then, a classical tune began playing, and the hall went silent as the bride walked down the aisle, accompanied by her father. Her white gown swept elegantly behind her, her makeup flawless, making her look like an angel descending from heaven.“Enjoy the show,” Jessica whispered to William before turning to watch the event. William, however, kept his eyes on her, knowing full well she had something up her sleeve.“Take care of my daughter,” Ama

Satisfied with how the wedding ended, Jessica stood up and was about to leave when someone called out her name.“Jessica.”She turned, and a smile lit up her face. “Hi, Evan. I didn't know you were invited to the party,” she said.“The bride is a good friend of mine. You look stunning, by the way. I was breathless when I saw you dancing with the groom,” Evan said.Jessica smiled awkwardly. “Thank you. You look good too,” she muttered.“How was the wedding? It's really sad it ended this way,” Evan said.“Well, it was nice...” Jessica muttered, feeling awkward—not because of his questions but because of the pair of gray eyes that might be watching them.To confirm her suspicions, she turned to where William was standing, only to meet his gaze. Panic struck her when William began walking toward them.“Mr. Newman, greetings to you,” Evan said respectfully, extending his hand for a handshake.Jessica bit her lip when William gazed coldly at the extended hand before looking at Evan.

William finished going through some papers before he stood up, placing the documents he needed to review at home into his briefcase. The office was silent. His secretary and personal assistant had already left for the day, and he was among the last to leave, thanks to the heavy workload. Once everything was set, he picked up his briefcase and turned to leave, reaching for the light switch. But he stopped in his tracks when he saw Jessica leaning against his secretary's desk, watching him. "Hi," she muttered, smiling at him. William smiled back. "I thought you wouldn't make it," he said. "I'm sorry. I should have been here earlier, but I had an impromptu lunch with someone," Jessica explained, walking toward him. He held her waist and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. "So, what do we do now? It's already late," he murmured. "The night is still young. Besides, we planned this date, so let's not ruin it." Jessica pouted. William studied her for a moment before chuckling.

She clung to the blanket tightly, like a little girl, her peaceful expression making his heart swell.He ran his fingers gently along her cheek, trailing down to her shoulder."Rachael," he called softly, but she only grunted in response, turning to the other side of the bed.Alexis chuckled, leaning down to pepper kisses along her shoulder. "You're going to be late for work if you don't wake up," he whispered against her skin."Is it morning already?" Rachael mumbled, a small frown forming on her face as she turned back to face him."Good morning," Alexis said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.She smiled sleepily, running a hand over his cheek."I made breakfast for you while you were still sleeping," he said, leaving the bed to retrieve the tray sitting on the table."I followed the recipe without missing a single step. Not sure if it still tastes good, though," Alexis shrugged as he set the tray in front of her.Rachael chuckled, sitting u

"I can't," William said, freeing himself from her grip. "Jessica is my wife and I'll always chose her," he said then faced Roland."I won't tolerate any misplaced about my wife ever again. Whether you like it or not, she's part of this family. If you're not okay with it, you might as well leave." William said, glaring at Roland."William..." Lynne gasped. She didn't expect William would say such thing."Very well then," Roland said and stood up, heading to the exit without turning back.Without further ado, William left the dinning in search of Jessica.A stormy look brewed on Lynne's face as she watched William leave. She glanced at Louis who smirked scornfully at her before facing his food.William stormed in their room and just then, Jessica walked out of their bathroom."Jessica," he muttered and immediately pulled her in for a hug, taking Jessica by surprise."Love, anything wrong?" Jessica muttered, gently rubbing his back.William broke the hug and cupped her cheek, "I'm sorry

Jessica took a deep breath as she arrived at the broadcasting studio, her heels clicking against the polished floors. The bright lights, the flashing cameras, and the hushed murmurs of staff moving about filled the air. Leon was already seated in the studio, chatting casually with the interviewer. He turned as Jessica entered, offering her a warm, fatherly smile. Anyone watching would assume they were a close-bonded family, little did they know.She settled into her seat across from Leon, pasting on a smile as the cameras started rolling.“Mr. Harrison,” the interviewer began, “today’s broadcast is truly special. After years of mystery surrounding your first wife, the public was shocked by the revelation that you had a child with her , the public finally gets to hear the truth from both of you.

Once done, she picked up her earrings and began putting them on.Today was going to be a busy day for her.

Jessica stared at the two of them, confusion and a slight hint of something else wavering in her eyes.When the red haired woman noticed Jessica, she slowly released William, her gaze still focused on Jessica. William followed her line of sight to see Jessica standing by the staircase."Jessica," William smiled, stretching his hand towards her.Jessica slowly descended the remaining stairs, placing her hand on his. Her gaze was still lingering on the woman."You two probably haven't met before.

"Really?" Jessica exclaimed excitedly."Yes," Rachael replied, "Come tomorrow at the company for further details and also for some finalization. I'm so happy for you, girl!" She exclaimed before hanging.Jessica lowered the phone from her ear and turned to William with a bright smile.William smiled back, "Congratulations, love."

Rachael bit her lip, searching for the right words to explain it to him.Rachael walked closer to him. "Brandon, it's a bit complicated, and—" She halted when Brandon took a step back."You lied to me," Brandon said, tears filling his puppy eyes."No! It's not like that... I would never lie to you. I was just waiting for the right opportunity to tell you," Rachael quickly said."Then why didn’t you tell me that he wasn't my real father?" Brandon asked, referring to Fred.Rachael bit her lip.

The car drove into the mansion before coming to a halt. Jessica was the first to hop out excitedly. William followed suit, watching her with an amused smile on his lips."You seem happier than worried that we went public," William said.Jessica chuckled. "Initially, I was a bit nervous when I saw it, but now I'm happy. It'll spare me from the stress of all those women who have their eyes on you," she said, winding her arms around his neck.William chuckled. "Seriously? Women? You know I have eyes for only you," he said, holding her waist.Jessica smiled, her gaze lowering to his lips.
