Upon reaching our house, Rowan was already settled on the couch, anticipating our return. His eyes never left mine as he recognized us and got to his feet. His eyes show me a hint of desperation and contempt, and it feels like he's intentionally allowing me to look right into his feelings.
When he broached a topic that I had no idea about, I felt as though a cold bucket had suddenly hit me. I felt his insistence on moving with us was unexpected enough, but now that I'm hearing what he said behind these walls, it feels like someone whacked me in the chest with a long, sharp sword.“It's good to see you again, hon.”I didn't expect to overhear anything, but that's what I heard as I was going to come back to the living room after taking some time to answer a call.“Rowan, what's wrong with you?” Lieve stated. Her high-pitched voice resonatedRelated chapters
The Billionaire's Affair Chapter 1
This world gave me too much privilege— fame, power, and wealth. I live in a world where these three things reign supreme, and with that I can get everything I want. And when I say everything, it means no exceptions.Is there anything that money can't buy?And what am I doing with these privileges? I abuse them, doing all the things that can satisfy me.So, I find myself pulled to this girl and drawn to her for no apparent reason when she stands proudly in front of me. Especially her beauty is beyond all comparison, and her physique is to die for.“She's five years younger than you, Aiden.”Ryker moved to his seat, tapping my shoulder along the way. I was compelled to gaze at the deceitful sight, standing tall and self-assured as she discussed their company's proposal to our firm.“That's why it is more thrilling,” I chuckled.Her name is Lieve, she introduced herself earlier. He seemed to not mind what Ryker and I were doing, as long as she was able to discuss what she needed to conve

Just recently I met this heinous man, and all of a sudden here I am, about to sign a contract to become his wife. Why am I in this kind of situation? I hope this sacrifice will be worthwhile or else I'll die in vain."I never really thought you would agree to marry me," Aiden teased. He smiled and arched his cherry-red lips, as if he were enticing me to do something sinful. But all I feel is frustration and hatred, why did I get here?Undoubtedly, I oppose the idea, and my father did not coerce me. However, I cannot stand to see the man who gave me a second chance at life in anguish. He completely gave us everything, despite the fact that we weren't linked by blood. He gave us a home, a family, food, a reputable school, and his last penny. Despite Aiden Echavez's offer, he never said anything, but I voluntarily gave myself over. If it means preserving the final possession this father figure of mine has ever had.“All the conditions are met, I hope you'll never back down on your words,

The lights are dim but vivid with color, and there's somber music playing in the background. Eryx, Ryker, and I are seated facing the counter, each of us drinking wine from our own glass. We were all staring at the wall with the wine bottles on each cube, and nobody wanted to disturb the silence."While you guys are having a good time, I was busy keeping things together here. Is this world so selfish?” Lyall clutched a bottle of whiskey and muttered. The bar is closed because we reserved it for these kinds of hours, so he is acting as the bartender for the three of us.Hearing Lyall's grievances, Ryker scoffed. He inhaled and exhaled while shaking his head."You would really rather be at your place right now than here," Ryker remarked.The three of us sighed in frustration. Lyall just kept staring at us, seemingly bewildered.“What happened?” Lyall asked.I poured another glass of wine after emptying mine.I smiled and said, "I am a married man now." However, I feel as though someone

I felt warm and secure when I woke up. The blanket is warm, the cushions are silky and fluffy, the bed is comfy, and there's an inviting smell. A soft hug around my waist, a soft touch on my head, and a relaxing manly scent. The feeling was pleasant, with a slow and calm breathing atop my head, and a weak snore.Hmm. Wait what?I jumped out of bed when realization hit me, and just as I thought I was sleeping with a man. It was Aiden; it's not like he was crossing a line here because he is now my husband, but he should have slept in a different room. But who am I to complain? This is part of the arrangement, to live in his world as his devoted wife. I'd heard a lot about arranged marriages, but I never imagined that such an arrangement could have a lovely and affectionate side to it; I assumed it was all about papers and legal terms with no strings connected, but Aiden's agreement has a hole that may pull me in if I'm not cautious. Who would have thought of making an agreement to exhib

I was walking slowly down to the kitchen for breakfast, maids and some big guards were greeting me along the way, I greeted them back with a pale smile because I'm afraid my voice might sound like a cow due to strenuous crying yesterday. When I arrived at the dining area, my eyes were clinging to a familiar figure, he is comfortably sitting in one of the chairs near Aiden's. My body is stiffened and I can feel my cold sweat dripping in my body. "Rowan," I uttered. Upon hearing my voice, the two men comfortably talking to each other, shifted their gaze towards me. Aiden's expression turned serious, while Rowan was staring directly into my eyes. "You're late for breakfast," Rowan teased. I pursed my lip because I'm out of words to say, just then Aiden stood up and held my hand. He assisted me in sitting on one of the chairs, but my attention wasn't there, Rowan's expression changed. I saw that. "I didn't know you had a sweet side on you, Uncle." "Seriously, I didn't know it

It's already six in the evening. I was walking back and forth in the space near our room's bed, I'm thinking about the stupid things I did earlier. I was taken aback when I heard a knock on the door, although hesitant but I forced myself to do the right thing. Aiden's serious face welcomed me when I opened the door.“Dinner is ready,” he said.“Okay. You go first, I'll follow.”Just then I saw a glimpse of his reaction through his piercing blue eyes, there was a moment of hesitation. He massages his neck before letting out a deep breath.“Let's go together. I'll wait for you,” he stated.I'd like to push him away and oblige him to go first but seeing his determined demeanor, I just said 'okay.'Because I know Aiden is waiting for me, I tried to move as fast as I could. I fixed my wavy hair and tied it in a messy bun. And I changed my dress into a comfortable t-shirt and shorts. And then I made my way out of the room.“Di

I woke up the next morning without Aiden by my side, it's sunday and I have an early commitment. I wasn't able to check his whereabouts because I'm busy fixing myself, I took a warm bath and wore a knitted floral dress. I also put some light makeup on to highlight my features. When I feel like I have enough, I decided to come out. In the living room, I saw Aiden reading some entertainment magazines, and he gazes up to welcome my presence. Bewilderment plastered on his face for a minute before he was able to grasp his words.“You're going somewhere?” he asked.I don't know how to describe his expression, it seems to me like he is complementing my looks but at the same time puzzled. He closed the magazine and gave me his full attention.“Yes, I'm going to church.”His expression lightened upon hearing my answer. He stood up and put the magazine on the table where piles of documents are on top of it.“I'll drive you there,” he said.
