He’s going to kill me. He’s going to be so mad at me.
While he was giving orders to the guys, I sneaked out. I knew he just gave me an order to stay put, but I was not his employee. I wanted to put an end to this madness.
My brother had gone irate, threatening those two hardworking employees for his own satisfaction. Seeing them so terrified because of my brother’s doing and that family had to leave their home for their safety—that was just horribly wrong and unfair.
Cenric could be furious at me. I cared about him, but Jasper had targeted his company. I couldn’t just watch him as he ruined lives and my husband’s properties. I had to do something. Maybe, my way would not cause more chaos to both parties.
I hailed a cab to a coffee shop where I knew it was exposed, and my brother could not hurt me in public. I also had to be careful with a possible viral video of Jasper and me in a heated argume

CENRIC “Where the fuck is my wife?” I yelled at the three of them. They were the best, and I just proudly told Toby, yet a woman who was not capable of escaping managed to sneak out from them in broad daylight. “Are you all just gonna fucking look at me?” “There’s only one thing I think she would do,” Beck replied. “She’s going to meet her brother.” “I can find her if you let me use a computer,” Toby suggested. “No!” we chorused. “Okay.” He cowered into his seat. “Let me find her,” William offered. “No need,” I told him. “I can’t believe my finest men just get played by a woman.” I fished out my phone and tapped on the app. “Your wife is a smart woman. You just underestimated her, sir,” Devin said. I lifted my gaze from the screen to him. “I’m not asking for your compliment and opinion. And, of course, my wife is smart. Why else would I marry a beautiful but lacking intelligence?” I
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 42. Tensions
SADIE The trip home was the most excruciating and awkward I had. No one had tried to break the silence. I kept my mouth shut as well. I didn’t want to cause more anger to Cenric than I already had. I could also feel that he was about to erupt like a dormant volcano. What kept me thinking was how to deal if he would do what I felt I deserved. Even if he would cut my internet privilege again, I would gladly accept his retribution. But I did what I thought would help us, and I had no regrets. The silence was killing me. I could even hear my own heartbeat. Cenric’s eyes were on his phone, and he was typing the entire time, but I didn’t miss the way his jaw tensed. Beck and Devin noticed the tension, but they didn’t say anything. Beck turned on the Podcast instead—the topic was about the kids who were the casualties in a war. I managed to divert my tension as I listened with him.
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 43. Dirty Little Secrets
CENRIC After we fucked in the shower, we made love in bed. It was intense and addicting as I watched and gave what made her craze and bend to her desire. “You’ve been silent.” I look down at her. I was running my fingers against her soft skin while her head was on my hip. Her hand was just on my lower abs, and her arm was literally on my dick. “Just thinking about what your brother said.”This is not over. “Find something to stop him, even if he will go to jail. It’s better than threatening an innocent guy who works hard to meet his needs.” “It’s hard to lock your brother up. You should know that your father has some connections both in the government and criminal world.” “What do you mean?” she lifted her head, staring at me in shock. She really had no idea about her family, had she? “I’m not gonna let you carry the burden of your family secret.” I shook my head. “You ar

SADIE “Oh, my God!” I peeked my head out of the window of a running SUV. I always dreamed of living on a farm full of cattle, horses, sheep and having freshly gathered eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast. “This is awesome! Marry me, Beck!” “You didn’t just say that while you’re beside your husband.” “Wow! This is vast.” I ignored Cenric just spanked my butt. “200 hundred acres,” Beck said proudly. He was sitting on the passenger’s seat while he let Devin drive. It was a fantastic trip. We chatted and played scrabbles, and I never won while my husband was on his laptop the entire trip. Beck was full of surprises. He was kind of chatty and had won all the time when not on the clock. He was smarter than any of us, I guess. “Nice house, bro,” Devin commented as we entered the iron-wrought gate. The two-story ranch-style house with a devoted patio came to view. “Thanks. Been for Corbin for generations.”
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 45. Sweet Side of Beck
CENRIC I wasn’t expecting to end a pleasant dinner like this. Marriage was not something you took lightly or for fun because there was divorce. I disagreed with how Austin pushed Beck to settle down if he was not ready for it. Maybe, I was still lucky that despite the arrangement I made, my wife was wonderful, and she was not like those women who were after my bank accounts, though sometimes, I wished she enjoyed spending. But Sadie was different. She would rather work hard for the money she earned—that DNA she never got from her father. I followed Beck to the backyard. The silver moon was full, casting a glow above us. I couldn’t remember the last time I appreciated something like this. It was ages ago when I wasn’t running a billion-dollar empire. When I was in the military, I enjoyed the outdoors, camping with Beck, Linden, and Becka’s late husband, one of my brothers, Wade. He was a good man. “Let’s head back, Beck.” He scratched his head in irritation. “I know it would come u
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 46. Emotions
SADIE I missed that feeling of being free. The word free alone sounded foreign to my ears. When I rode a horse, it always felt like that. And it had been a while. Once I was on the horse, it came back to me naturally. Becka was so great despite losing a husband at a young age. She always found a way to live a life. “I always thought of what Wade would say if I kept crying and blamed somebody for losing him.” We rode along with the expansive ground. I was awed at the herd as I watched from the horse. “You have a great life with him, even just for a short time.” “Yeah. Wade was my first love. We’d been together since high school. You know, at first, your brother hated the guy you dated. That’s what happened to Wade and me, but he’d proven how serious he was about our relationship. He joined and enlisted with Beck later.” I smiled. It was a great love story, even if it ended abruptly. “Do you ever think of going out th

CENRICSince she came back from the rides with Becka, she seemed different. Carefree? Happy? “Now you’re the one who’s looking at me like that?” “How?” I looked at her. I was driving the old pickup truck of Beck but still ran like brand new. “I don’t know. Like you’re up for something.” Her smile was wicked. “Or you’re up for something, babe.” I held and squeezed her thigh. She was wearing a summer dress with western boots. “You look fantastic.” She laughed out loud. “I might have overdone this out a little.” Her smile was contagious. “You look great anyhow.” “Thanks. So what do I expect in the bar?” “Locals, beers, boys who would gawk at you as if you’re the best meat in town that I might end up getting into trouble tonight.” “Just calm your horses, cowboy. We don’t want us to get into trouble. I wanna have fun without my overprotective husband growling at me all the time. Why didn’t you invite Cas to come with us?” “I don’t growl, wife. He needs to be there in case there’s
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 48. The New Boss
SADIE I looked up at the Wollf Tower, where I’d be spending five days a week on the fifteenth floor. It was intimidating, and so were the people hired to work with me. Since this company was one of Cenric’s companies, he just became my boss. Jeez, he was already bossy enough. But this was life, and I was beyond grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I entered the premises, there were at least ten shelves, and everyone was already bustling. My heart started beating fast. “Good morning!” They scrammed to stand and chorused to greet me, “Good morning, Mrs. Wolff.” I smiled, drawing some confidence somewhere within. “Oh, please. You made me look like your grandmother. Drop the Mrs. Wollf. Just call me, Sadie.” Somehow, they relaxed. I entered my office. I couldn’t believe I had an office on my own. I wanted to kiss my husband and at the same time punch him. I didn’t have experience in this line of wor

SADIE Three years later… My husband in a perfectly tailored suit was drool-worthy. In a blue military uniform, damn, my uterus just contracted. He always took my breath away, even after years of marriage. Cenric was finally called. He gripped my hand before he rose and walked to the stage to receive his award. I turned to my side to look at my guys, applauding their brother. Cenric was awarded Humanitarian of the year for his philanthropic works and considerable donations to the military. “Once a Marine, always a Marine,” he quoted. “I’m proud to have services this wonderful nation. I would always help and support my brothers in service and our people.” He looked at his award. “Thank you for recognizing my humble works.” He then found me in the audience. “Semper Fidelis.” I rose from my seat just like everyone and applauded him. His brothers in arms loved him—they admired him. So did I. I

CENRIC Jasper’splace was on a small island—a fishing community turned into a beautiful resort that could only be reached by boats. It was a summer paradise, away from crowded tourists. As we arrived at the harbor, the view from there just took my breath away. “How many women did you bring here before me?” I knew she was messing with me. I smiled. “Jealous?” “Nah. I’m always into Greek gods. You know with tan skin, hard specs, dashboard abs with long and thick—” She shrugged, making girls laugh out loud. “Long and thick what, Sadie Wollf?” I reminded her of the surname she was carrying. She shrugged again. “Hair and thighs?” I wasn’t aware the guys were also listening. They burst out laughing. Terrible things happened from my past, and my extreme decisions led me to meet my soulmate—my wife. Sadie never ceased to amaze me. My chest expanded as I realized that God always had reasons for everythin

CENRIC The jet just took off. My wife invited her friends, Maeve and Zhuri, and of course, Becka to this trip. We were supposed to be on our honeymoon, but she decided to do something before our Italy trip. I couldn’t say no to her because after last night, and I didn’t think I could defy my wife again. We were supposed to fuck our brains out, and I should have taken her warning seriously, so here we were, flying to Greece. “I apologized about last night,” I tried to talk it out, hoping it would work. She rested her head on my shoulder as she scrolled the photographs of our wedding. “I didn’t sleep with you because I was mad.” “Oh. You have—” I didn’t finish my words. “Fuck me.” She giggled. “That’s not my fault.” Her smile was wicked. Maybe she was just messing with me or something. Anyhow, I played along. After a few hours, we landed. We were picked up by my contact and drove to the pier. It was hotter this time.

SADIE “Are you nervous?” Becka asked me. I blew a shaky breath. “No. Not at all. I’m excited, unlike my first wedding. I wanted to run if there was a chance. I thought I was marrying a mafia boss.” In a few minutes, I was going to be married to the same man—the love of my life, for the second time—this time, at the back of our house. I wasn’t wearing anything extravagant like my first wedding. This time I wore a minimalist satin-wrapped wedding dress with a hat to honor my late English father, Lewis. Last week, we found out he was buried in London. We took a quick trip and visited his grave. “Are you ready?” I nodded at Austin. “Yes,” I asked him if he could walk me down the aisle. He was even glad and said yes. When the music started, I took a deep breath and walked towards my man waiting for me. He was wearing a simple beige suit and pants and a white crisp open-button shirt. He always looked breathtaking dressed or naked. Fo
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 67. The Vow
CENRIC “I came here today to marry my girl, to cherish her, to protect and respect her, and to be the faithful husband to her. I knew the first time I saw you, and you would be the woman I wanted to spend my life with. I knew you would change me to be the best version of myself. Today, I swear to you to have your back, be your number one supporter, love you faithfully, and honor what we have from today and onwards. I give you my heart, my life, and my soul.” I just watched my vow over and over again as she kept replaying it in the entertainment room. In the video, she looked so innocent as she stared at me while I read my vow. I didn’t write anything. When you were caught in that moment, you just spoke from your heart—that was what happened that day. She wiped her face again. She did that every time she played that clip. She was crying, and I didn’t know why. Did my vow touch her? Had she realized something, or had she changed her min

SADIESince I heard the news weeks ago that my father—the man I thought he was, pleaded guilty on all charges, it kept me awake at night. How wouldn’t I miss when his face was all over the news? And I felt like we had an unfinished business. And I needed that closure.I had never felt this twist in the pit of my stomach as I sat on the visiting lounge. Even if guards and a glass wall were separating us, I still felt unsafe.When he walked in, goosebumps erupted all over my skin.Our eyes met.He smiled.Hanslo Greer was still the man I once knew, although he looked different than the last time I saw him. I could feel the difference—I couldn’t find any intimidation, and he looked powerless and less arrogant in his prison uniform.I picked up the phone, but I didn’t say anything.“Sadie, what are you doing here? Does your husband know you’re here?” I wasn’t e

CENRIC “Oh, God.” She bit her lip as she tried not to scream. I told her to keep her voice down if she wanted to come. The house may be big but not soundproof. I was pushing her to her brink while my fingers were doing the job. I thrust in and out of her drenched pussy, and my tongue teased her hardening clit. I scissored my fingers into her, and she shook in pleasure. I groaned and sucked her clit, her hips shooting up. “So good,” she moaned. Her lids fluttered shut. I knew she was close. Her walls started clumping against my fingers. “Come for me, babe.” I withdrew out and then plunged in deeper and rocked her faster, hitting her g-spot. She threw her head back, her hips rocking forward before she stilled as she came so hard. She dropped her body down the bed, laying boneless with splayed limbs as her orgasm went on and on. I crawled over and covered her with my body before I took her mouth. She quickly kissed

SADIE “Which from the two?” Tanner showed us the kind of blue colors. “This one.” Cenric had already chosen my behalf, but Tanner was still waiting for my choice. “Yup. This one.” “Her eyes.” He nodded as if he was not convinced of Cenric’s choice. “Trust me, Tanner. I know my wife.” He was sitting on my desk with his arms crossed over his chest. “Ace,” he said before he left. “I’m starting to dislike that guy.” I closed the folder on my desk and eyed him. “He’s nice, and Maeve is reporting tomorrow. I sent her flowers. Anyway, do you know—” “She and Beck are dating?” “Wow! You’re updated than me.” “I pay attention to my guys.” “So, you’re not leaving this office until I agree to free my whole Saturday?” He’d been patient. Since our parking lot encounter, we had decided to stay under one roof. We slept in the same bed, but that was all. He didn’t initiate
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 63. Awful Disguise
CENRIC You’re the best. Fuck, yeah.I kept reminding myself. I went back home after work. I didn’t bother her anymore. The more I kept my distance, the easier it was for her to figure out what she wanted in her life. It was hard. I missed her every second she was away from me. But she needed it, and that was what she got. That was two days ago. No call. No text. I didn’t even ask Devin for updates. And here I was, stalking my wife. Beck just shook his head in disappointment. “You’re losing your shit. What is in the fucking of need space you did not understand? You will still see her on Saturday, won’t you?” “She needs space, but I don’t. I want to see her, not meet her. And can’t you be a little supportive of me?” “Supportive my ass. You did this to yourself. But whatever. If she sees us, you’re gonna have to explain. Then she needs another week or two. Your trouble, man. Not mine.”
