The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 52
I never really like kids.In fact, 3 years ago I would not touch a baby with a six foot pole.Babies were whinny and gross and overall just annoying, turns out they also liked to drool over things and i much preferred if my vey expensive italian shoes remained drool free.But ever since my angel Emily came into the picture, my perspective had changed, and not just about kids, my perspective about everything had taken a full on 360 degrees, and for the better too.The world looked brighter these days, the trees greener and the winter warmer. I saw more hope in the world and i was now even more convinced that global warming could be stopped."Quite the optimist You've become." Sam laughed at my enthusiasm, and Elisa said it's because I was happy that I was spewing out nonsense, but I had been happy about stuff before but this, this feeling was different, it was honestly a feeling I had never experienced before. It was as though I was floating through life rather than walking and even m

Russell’s POV.The importance of family is grossly under emphadized even though they get on your nerves sometimes and you want nothing more than to walk them out of your house sometimes and warn them never to come back again.But in moments of joy, in moments when one is celebrating, you want nothing more than to be surrounded with the people whom you love and care for.Baby Emily was having her first big ceremony since her christening and she couldn't be happier. It was her first birthday and although I would have much preferred a very low key ceremony without much noise, Elisa’s parents had been the ones who insisted that it had to be a whole thing, and since Elisa didn’t object, there wasn’t much I could say concerning the matter. Her father had opened the ceremony with a prayer session followed by a sermon that almost never ended, and for the millionth time that day, I was reminded of all the reasons why I didn’t go to church. The cake cutting of the cake came next after

Elisa’s POV.“What did he want?” I asked Russel who seemed to be as eager to have this conversation as he would be to have cobblestones for lunch.“I already told you.” He replied, avoiding my gaze and choosing instead to focus all his attention on our daughter. I knew he adored her and was always eager to spend time with her, but I knew that this time, he had ulterior motives. She was fast asleep anyway so I knew that she wasn’t engaging him in any activities at the moment. “…He Just stopped by to offer us his congratulations.”“Baby?” I called in a warning tone, but he still wouldn’t look at me.“What?” He replied instead, trying to sound innocent. “That’s really why he dropped by. He was in a bit of a hurry so he couldn’t come in, but he sent his regards to you and the baby.”I sighed, knowing fully well that he was lying again, but there was really nothing I could do to bring out the truth when he was so reluctant to discuss it with me.“Wow.” I replied, taking baby Emily from his

"Where are we going Russel?" I asked for the millionth time that day but Russell refused to disclose his plans. "It's a surprise," He replied, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "But trust me, you'll love it."I raised an eyebrow. "A surprise? I'm not sure I like surprises. " I told him truthfully. Russell just smiled "You'll love this one. i promise."When Russell had told me had plans for me now that Emily was spending the weekend over at my parents' i thought he meant fir ys to spend the entire time indoors, having the time of our lives in the bedroom and only stopping to either eat, shower or have a bathroom break. I was honestly not mad idea especiallt since he and i had varely had any time to ourselves ever since baby Emily came along and although i couldn't be more grateful for her, i still missed Russel and my sexual life and how exhilerating it was before the baby." Besides, he had been kissing me and caressinv me so sensually when he was talking about the surprise so how

I awoke with a start.Something, or rather someone was clouding my personal space, trapping me witj his long muscular arms so that i couldn't so that I couldn't get ahead out of bed even if I wanted to.During the time I had been married to Russell and ever since we started becoming intimate, i head come to discover that he was quite the cuddler. He didn't seem like it obviously seeing as he was always acting like the tough bad boss, but with me he was always very clingy, a little too needy sometimes if I am being honest and I couldn't say I hated it. I liked that I could see this side of him that nobody else gets to see. It made me realise how special our relationship was.But this wasn't like one of those times when he wanted to cuddle. I suspected that this was something else entirely and my suspicions were confirmed when he moved again, rubbing his very had erection against my ass at a leisurely pace. He soon began kissing a hot trail down my neck which sent waves of pleasure th

Russell thrust into Me with a force that threatened to tear me in half, and I winced in delightful pain."What did you just say?" He asked, not slowing down his thrusts even as he spoke. Several beads or sweat had created a light sheen on his skin, and one in particular rolled down from his forehead to his neck.Without thinking, I stuck out my tongue and caught it before it could roll further down. The grown he released as a result reverberated through the entire room."I asked you a question love." He repeated, his thrusts becoming almost torturous. "Answer it.""I know you heard me." I said to him in reply, my hands moving to the back of his head. I clutch a handful of his hair in between my fingers and pull, not because i want to intentionally hurt him but because I have no way to channel the hurricane of sensations that is boarding through my body.I want him to keep going, I want him to slow down, I want to get closer to him but I don't even think that is possible considering w

So, where were we?” Russell asked, standing up from the bed and making his way into the bathroom. We had both just had what could be the most earth shattering orgasm of our lives, and honestly, the fact that he was still able to walk was a total mystery to me. My legs felt like jelly and I knew that they would definitely betray me if I tried to use them, which was why I remained put in bed, overwhelmed by Russell’s scent and the warmth of the sheets…which I probably had to change very soon now that I think about it. “We were talking about how I was going to resume work next week. “Oh right.” He replied, reappearing from the bathroom with a small bowl of warm water and a towel. “You really don’t have to do this every time we have sex.” I told Russell even the gesture always made me swoon and erupt a tornado of butterflies in my belly. After care was one thing that Russell never forgot to do after sex, and the fact that I had never once had to ask him to do it made it all the more s

RUSSELLS POV “Russel…Hey man…yo Russ…You there? Russell!” Somewhere in the background, I could hear the sound of my name being called but I barely registered it. I was way too fixated on the tablet which had a display of all the corners of my house being displayed in 3D version, that was until the source of the voice pulled the tablet out of my hands suddenly and turned it off, leaving me momentarily startled. “What the fuck man?” I asked scowling at Sam, my long time friend and colleague. “Yeah, What the fuck is right.” He replied with a scowl that matched mine. “I’ve literally been calling your name for the past 10 minutes and I haven’t even gotten as much as a response, where is your mind at? “I’m sorry.” I replied, kissing my teeth in frustration. “My thoughts have just been all over the place with Elisa resuming work today and all.” Sam seemed to be having trouble understanding what I was talking about as he asked, ‘’What’s the issue here exactly? Do you not want her t

Detective Jameson's eyes narrowed as he watched Charlie being handcuffed and led away. The confession had come unexpectedly, but the motive was all too familiar. "Revenge," he muttered to his partner. "The oldest motive in the book." Rodriguez, Jameson's partner shook her head. "Family dynamics can be toxic. Brothers, especially." As Charlie was taken into custody, Elisa finally felt a sense of closure. Her daughter, Emily, was safe, and the kidnapper had been caught. But the truth was harder to swallow. Charlie, her husband's brother abd the man whom she had once thought of soending her life with had orchestrated the kidnapping. "It was all about revenge," Charlie spat during the interrogation. " He took everything from me – our parents' attention, the family business... He left me with nothing." Jameson's expression remained stoic. "And you thought kidnapping an innocent child would even the score?" Charlie's eyes flashed with anger. "You don't understand. Russellalways got e

“What are you doing here?” He asked, composing himself and trying to pretend like he wasn’t affected by my presence but I could see through his charade. He wa spanicking a lot and although he thought that his hideout had been pretty secure, here i was standing right there in the flesh. Still, he couldn't show his fears or he was going to appear guilty.“What do you mean?” I came to see you.” I replied, pretending to play his game.“Cut the crap Russ. What are you doing here and how the fuck did you find me?”“What can i say? I was just passing by. i mean i was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by to say hello to my only brother.”At my words, he huffed and went over to his bedside to put on his shirt, and boxers on pretending to ignore me."Are you going to stand there and watch me get dressed?" He asked probably in a bid to get rid of me."Its nothing i've not seen before so you can relax."Charlie sighed in frustration at my adamancy.“Well, you’ve said hello now so you can

I had faced a lot of challenges in my life. I mean, that was avoidable considering what i had achieved. No great achievement came without challenges and I was proud to say that I was fairly successful myself. I also prided myself in the knowledge that I was a troubleshooter and a problem solver. I always had an idea on how to get out of complicated situations, and if i couldn't get an answer right away, all i had to do was sleep over it and come morning, I'd have a solution on my hand.But two days had passed and I was yet to discover a solution to my most prominent life problem. My daughter was missing and I had no idea where she was or where to look. With every passing day, I felt as though the very world in which I live d was crumbling in on me and I simply felt suffocated and helpless. The police had no leads and the one sure lead I had; they were not giving me the go ahead to look into. They weren’t looking into it themselves either or at least they weren’t look into it fast eno

“But according to Miss. Jones’ statement,” The judge continued. “It appears that she told you that she was pregnant but you refused to acknowledge it and rather accused her of lying.”“That’s true your honor.” Charlie agreed. “But in my defense, the first time she told me about her pregnancy, she called me through my brother’s phone. Now prior to the time, she and my brother Russell had never met before. In fact, I had never even told her that I had a brother, so it didn’t make sense to me that she was calling me from his phone. I took it as it was a prank planned by my brother seeing as my brother and I often play such pranks on each other.”Wow, Charlie was really going in for the kill with his calculated lies and fabricated lines. I never knew he had it in him, but then again, he had enough money to hire the best lawyers to give him legal advice. But unfortunately for him, our lawyers were just as good, maybe even better, and that is why he was bound to lose.“You claim that you lo

As expected, the news that Charlie was suing for custody spread like wildfire. In less than 24 hours, media houses had carried the news. Social media hashtags were eating this up and even my family and friends somehow got a wind of the situation. My phone was constantly pinging with calls and texts and calls and Russell’s phone was honesty not any different. At this point, I had still not gotten around to telling my parents the real story behind how Russell and I met and the circumstances surrounding our marriage so when I received a call from them as well, my anxiety creeped in. I thought about ignoring them for a little while longer, just until I could gather my thoughts and gains dome courage, but with the issue of Emily’s paternity being debated, I knew that there was no more hiding it from them. So the very next day, I got on a flight and flew home. Russell offered to go with me and knowing how much I hated flying, I honestly wished he could accompany me. Him holding my hand duri

Elisa’s POV“…And you should have seen April’s face. She looked like someone who had swallowed a turtle shell. And Amy, she was so horrified, she couldn’t even bring herself to say hello to me. Apparently, they hadn’t been expecting me to show up as soon as I did. They thought that I’ll take at least a couple of days off, giving them enough time to recuperate and get used to the latest developments.” I said laughing. After the close of work, I decided to use my evening to give Russell a recap of my day and apparently he had some pretty satisfying stories to share as well.“I thought you said Amy was the nicer one?” He asked, fully invested in my story. “How comes she is the one who couldn’t stand to speak to you." “Honestly, she and Amy switch up on most days and I can hardly choose which of them I prefer. I think that they both have their moments.”“Hmmm.” Russell replied thoughtfully. “I Can’t even tell them apart honestly. They look exactly the same to me.”“No they do not.” I rep

Elisa’s POV\I couldn’t believe my eyes, or my eyes for that matter.I was standing in the center of our living room, staring at the massive LED screen that served as a television in our home. I was already on my way to work that morning but I was forced to stop and take a closer look because of what was showing on the screen, or rather who was showing. A gasp of surprise left my throat as I realized the scene that was playing before me. My mouth fell open without me even realizing it, and even after realizing, I couldn’t bring myself to pick it back up.On the screen, Russell was sitting in an interview segment with one of the most popular TV shows in the city while looking as fabulous as always in his signature three piece although this time, it was a dark shade of maroon red and an auburn tie. His lean legs were crossed leisurely in front of him and he sat with an air of confidence that was peculiar to him. He was the guest on the show but yet somehow, he managed to look like he ow

Russell's POV I sat still, criss legged at the tv station as I waited for everything to be sorted out. Skipping work on a day like this may seem like a bad idea to a regular onlookers, and they'd probably be right considering everything that was going on. An emergency board meeting had been scheduled in line with the new information that my beloved brother had been so kind to release to the public. Logically speaking, I was supposed to be seated with my lawyers, buried in a mountain of paperwork, trying to find loopholes in my grandfather's will that allowed my contracted marriage to Elisa. As expected, Charlie was the leader of the team seeking to bring me down and their argument was that I had not fulfilled grandfather's conditions in honesty and hence didn't deserve the position of CEO. The board was meeting today to come up with a final decision, but rather than getting ready, here I was, waiting for a TV segment interview which most might consider unimportant, while

“Are you really married to CEO Russell?”“Was it really a contract marriage?”“Are you two getting divorced soon as per the details of the contract?’’“Has he paid you the settlement money?”“Are you really asking for more money than was agreed in the initial contract?”“Did you really seduce him and trap him with a pregnancy?”“Who is the real father of your child?”“Are you a gold digger who is only with Russell for his money, and fame?”The questions were endless, all of them unkind, and for some reason they all seemed to be directed my direction and my direction alone as if I was some kind of villain in my own love story. It was all so fucking ridiculous. Like, why was I getting stabbed with all the shards of glass, like everything was my fault. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want Russell receiving any heat, but I also didn’t feel like I deserved any either. If anything I felt like I was supposed to be comforted and consoled, especially since my only offence was falling in love with
