The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 19 – Admirer
Damn was it hard. She complained to Lily. On the first day alone, she was already contemplating if she should simply quit. She couldn’t remember how many times it crossed her mind that first week. Lily chuckled and told her it’s pretty normal.“I was like that on my first job, too. Don’t stress. You’ll get over it. It’s not knowing exactly what to do that has you in jitters. I’m sure most people experience it.”“But what do I do? They now think I’m stupid. I didn’t realize how much tasks there would be. I’m not used to dealing with multiple things at once, working at them at the same time. How do you survive the month-end with all those reports?” Mel looked truly exhausted at that point.Lily made a face for her to see. “Oh, come on. They were still simple tasks. You simply need to get used to it. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll do well. The thing is, the more you’re afraid that you’ll mess up, the more you would. So, chill. Relax and just do your job. Stop thinking what would hap

Lily frowned at her when she finished relating her last week’s experience in the office.“What’s his name?”“Cedric. I was told he’s also wooing women from other departments, you included. Is it true?” Truthfully, she’s not interested in the guy. She’s merely concerned if he’s playing with people, especially if it’s her friend.Lily pursed her lips. “Are you sure? Why do I feel like you’re talking about a different person? The Cedrik I know is somewhat timid, not arrogant…”Melissa stared at her for a while. “Really?”“I mean, do you like this guy? Do you happen to have a picture?” She added, wanting to settle this matter quickly.“Well, I actually do. I stalked his social media one time. I mean, he’s cute and acted like a fine gentleman.” Her friend explained as she browsed through her phone.Oh, well. They might actually be talking about different people, which would be a good thing. She patiently waited for Lily to show her a photo.“Oh, here. Look. This is Cedrik.”Melissa dramati
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 21 – Her Friend
The next morning, Melissa doesn’t know if she should be angry at herself or at him. She let him continue, so that’s on her. But heck, she’s already too tired to put up a fight. She decidedly glared at him and began to hit his arm and exposed chest. She’s too weak compared to him so she just hit him wherever.“What the…?” Klyde was surprised to be woken up like this and rolled off the bed.“What’s wrong with you?” He snapped and returned her glare.“What happened to stopping at three? Just because I didn’t stop you, do you really have to continue? You! You can’t keep doing that. We stop at three, no matter what.”“Oh, come on. You enjoyed it, too.” He’s not about to simply agree with her.“There were nights you would seduce me to continue. How come it’s my fault when I seduce you for more?” He immediately added.Ah, yes. He could be this irritating. In her annoyance, she picked up the pillows and threw them at him. Pointless, she knew. It doesn’t hurt the man.Klyde looked away when sh

The next day, Lily was on the lookout for Cedrik. The moment she saw him near the elevators, she approached him. For some reason, she’s surprised she hasn’t encountered his twin yet. Even with that knowledge, she’s somehow sure that this one is Cedrik. Not the asshat.She’s now familiar with his demeanor and facial expressions.“Hi.”He looked surprised to see her.“Uh, hi.” His reply was hesitant and it’s clear from his face that he’s not expecting this.She noticed him touching the bridge of his nose and she’s even more sure that it’s him.“I’m sorry about yesterday. It was a misunderstanding.” She went directly to the point and apologized.He frowned as he finally looked at her, seemingly asking her to explain further.“My friend encountered your… uh, brother and thought he was you. I mean, I was doubtful that she was talking about you but when I showed her a photo of you, she confirmed that it was you. I didn’t know you have a twin. I only heard about it yesterday around noon. I’v
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 23 – New Guy
A lot of wrongs, actually.She shivered lightly, which the man noticed.Mel hasn’t really thought about being involved with Klyde in such a way. Sleeping with him is fine, but getting married to him? She doubts the two of them could make such a commitment. Another agreement, maybe. But she’s not exactly here for long-term. When their contract ends, she’s out of this place. She wants to explore more in life. Although she hasn’t figured out that part yet.The other scenario, having a kid with him and divorcing after? It wasn’t really appealing to her. Two things. Firstly, she experienced being abandoned by her father, she won’t do that to her own child. Secondly, despite her unpleasant relationship with her father, her parents’ relationship was really good. They loved each other so much. When her mom died, her dad couldn’t seem to continue being a father to her alone.Still, she thinks it would be great to have a relationship like that. Okay, maybe not the aftermath. But then, she’s not
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 24 – Permission
Well, Mel was unable to give him a proper reply. She didn’t say yes. She told him how her guardian at home is quite strict. She emphasized she’s not joking when he showed a disbelieving expression.“I’m serious. I have a curfew. I have to be home early every day.”Randall’s lip twitched. He couldn’t tell if she’s telling the truth or not. If this is her way of turning him down, it’s quite unique.“You said your guardian? Not your parents? What kind of guardian gives a curfew to someone of age, already working and earning her own money?”“I know, right? Well, I haven’t been responsible previously. This is my first job. I wasted enough money before I learned to work. I’m still under observation, whether I can live on my own or not.”“What kind of situation is that?”Mel chuckled. She’s not about to give away too much information.“Maybe a quick dinner. Or I’ll let you know when he’s out of town. I can usually stay out when he’s not around.” She wanted to close the conversation here.“Is
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 25 – Anxious
Things seem very normal in the following days, but Klyde could sense that she’s less engaged in their bedroom activities. She’s not as enthusiastic as before and it’s making him prickly.“If you continue like this, you’re making me dissatisfied. I’m not paying for a half-assed job.” He grabbed her chin after he pushed her on the bed.Mel rolled her eyes at him. “Oh, we’re getting ratings now, aren’t we? Three stars out of five? Are you always like that? You don’t pay when it’s not top-notch? Have you done that in a restaurant? Ate the food and left without paying the bill?”Why? Why can’t he have a normal conversation with this woman?She only narrowed her eyes at him when he looked more annoyed.“You’re enjoying this delicacy but you’re not going to pay me? Come on. Don’t be like that. I’m tired from work. I’ve already lasted more than a month. I think I’m suffering a burnout.” She was fingering her hair while telling him her resentments. Well, not exactly resentments, but similar.H
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 26 – Worried
She might be weak, but she managed to play along with him. She couldn’t push him off so she lay there and reached for his erection. She can’t knee him in her position, so she chose to do what’s available to her. She tightened her grip on that freaking meat, squeezing as hard as she could. When he moved away from her, grimacing in pain, her heart thudded as she hit him by the groin. She wanted to return his smirk but she felt more urgency in leaving this place.Mel fixed her clothing before picking up her bag and shoes. She decked him on the side of his head on her way out. She heard him groan and she couldn’t be sure if her heels hit him or her bag did. She doesn’t care!She ran two streets before taking her phone out and booking a cab. She wore her shoes as she kept looking back. Looks like he doesn’t intend to follow her out.Damn bastard. What a fake! She can’t believe she fell for his deception. She thought she’s good at discerning people. You can’t really be sure of this world an

“If you don’t want to, then I won’t force you. You’re still the most important to me.”In the morning, he was gone when she woke up. She went to take a quick shower and found him with a breakfast tray when she got out of the bathroom. Those were his opening words as she sat on the bed with him.“I’m sorry I can’t give you a daughter.” She muttered, still feeling complicated about it.“Don’t be. It’s fine. I only wanted a daughter because I thought watching her grow up would let me see how you grew up. And I also thought boys would be difficult to handle.”She can only snort. He has an odd way of thinking.“Are you feeling better?” He reached out to touch her forehead again.“Yeah. The fever’s gone.” And the headache. She didn’t complain about a headache last night but it was there.“Did you check on Klay last night?&
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Special Chapter 2
Klyde was immensely relieved. Mel is already three months pregnant but she’s not as grumpy as before. She also very touchy instead of loathing his touch. He dared not to voice out his observations, though. He wouldn’t jinx it.Her behavior is hugely different than before. He’s convinced they’re really having a girl this time. Mel was amused when he predicted such a thing, and told him it’s a boy, just to rile him up. She even came up with a name, Kyle. He’s clearly not pleased, grunting and insisting it’s going to be a girl. He would name her Malia.They made a bet on it and decided not to check the gender before birth. They want it to be a surprise, but she knew she would feel bad to see him disappointed.The pregnancy was a lot easier. Mel thought it’s because they’re prepared this time and they wanted it. She has less worries and sincerely happy with the situation. Klyde was very supportive, too.Wh

After their honeymoon, she insisted on going to his beach house. They spent two days there and she enjoyed watching the sunset.“Do you like it that much?” Klyde asked against her ear as he hugged her from behind.“Yeah. It’s more than beautiful.” She lowly uttered, tilting her head to the side as he began pressing kisses on her neck.“You’re the most beautiful.” He husked against her skin, making her shiver.Mel couldn’t help chuckling. She likes it when he compliments her in his own sweet way.“I’m still the most beautiful for you?” She glanced at him and he quickly captured her lips. Why must he act like he’s still so in love with her? She moaned as he kissed her deeper.“You’ll always be the most beautiful for me.” He whispered against her lips.“How about when we have a daughter?” She couldn’t help but wonder how much
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 69 – The End
Klyde was gloating. They’ve been teaching Klay how to talk and the first word he could say properly was “dada”. He spent so much time practicing it with him.Mel wasn’t even competing with him. “Now teach him how to say mama.”That kid is definitely going to grow up as daddy’s boy. She’s extremely satisfied with the way he’s very hands-on in raising their son. Who knew he could be very patient? She wasn’t as patient as him.Right now, the man is slowly teaching him how to walk. Klay crawls a lot and is very active, but he can’t walk on his own two feet yet. Klyde needs to hold his body or his arms to get him standing up.Without any experience, he was initially afraid of holding him. The boy was so delicate, he was scared he would hurt him, bruise him or break his little body. He had to be very gentle with him.“Here, feed him. He must be hungry now.” Mel passed him a bot

When she heard that, she began to look guilty.“What? You don’t want to?” Here he is again with a whiny tone.Mel grimaced as she replied, “Something like that.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Actually, I’m already on birth control. I got a new arm insert.” She sheepishly replied.Pursing his lips, he asked, “Since when? Why didn’t you tell me?”“Uh, a month after I gave birth? I really don’t want to get pregnant for the time being.” Her tone was somewhat pleading him to understand her worries.“I just forgot to tell you.”He kept his silence.“Klyde, I’m not ready to go through that again. Not anytime soon.”Finally, upon seeing her worried expression, he relented. He sighed and took her in his arms.“But it’s not off the table, is it? Would you be interested in

She quickly swallowed when he turned his glare on her. Mel stood her ground, though. She didn’t do anything wrong. She even raised an eyebrow to challenge him.He grabbed her arm and brought her to her little office in the back. There’s still a couple of customers in the café, so it’s not suitable to confront her there. They passed Nessa on the way, who became a little worried for her boss.“Klyde…” She began but was immediately cut off. She’s feeling a different kind of déjà vu.“Do you like him? Is he your type?” His tone was sharp and accusatory but upon hearing his words, she was reminded of a similar situation not too long ago.It made her a little speechless. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form the words. What kind of situation is this?“Damn it, woman. Are you not satisfied with me? What else do I lack?” His expression was something
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 66 – His Wife
In preparation for the event, he made sure she’s got a new dress. When she put it on, she looked stunning in it. He knew people’s eyes would be on them that night.When he warned her to ignore rude comments, she raised an eyebrow at him.“I think you’re forgetting something. I really don’t give a damn what other people think of me.” Sure, there were moments she would feel small and unworthy, but they’re fleeting moments. She can shrug them off quite quickly.“Right. You’re really meant to be my wife.”That’s statement made her heart melt. He placed her hand on his arm and they entered the venue. He wore a smile on his face, which was rare to see. Everyone who saw it were surprised and curious. They immediately made the connection to the woman by his side. His gaze was mostly on her as they walked in and that gaze was uncharacteristically gentle. At least, for other people who are used to se
The Billionaire's Annoying Ward Chapter 65 – Recollection
Mel fell asleep after that and he could only watch her. He traced her face before it seemed to irritate her and she snuggled closer to him. He smiled at her unconscious reaction.She hasn’t responded to it and she seemed in disbelief. When she wakes up, he’ll definitely make sure she remembers it from now on.A few hours later, she woke up with a need to use the toilet. She tried not to wake him, only to find him staring at her. She scrambled after that.Klyde smirked. He didn’t tease her this time. He let her run away.In the bathroom, she seemed to recall what happened before she slept. Her face felt hot and when she looked in the mirror, she could see the redness of her cheeks. And the damn hickeys on her neck! She did a quick wash before grabbing a bathrobe and squinting at the door. He’s waiting for her, isn’t he?When she got out, she saw him patting the bed.“You haven’t slept yet?” She

Klyde quickly caught up with her just as she exited the door. He pulled her to the side, but she struggled against him. In that moment, he knew he’s in so much trouble again.“Mel, please. Don’t be angry. Let me explain.”She glared at him and pulled her hand back but he caught it again. Thankfully, his driver was outside and watching the entrance. Klyde saw him and nodded. The man quickly scrambled to get the car.“Melissa, don’t make a scene. Let’s go home and talk.” He grabbed both of her hands and pulled her close. Some people curiously looked in their direction and he glared at them. Mind your own business.Her imagination run wild again and as she kept silent, the scenario in her head kept becoming worse and worse. Her eyes constricted as she became angrier with every minute.He pushed her into the car and immediately followed. With her hands freed, she began hitting him. This bastard…
