Elisa's POV I resumed work the very next week, just as I had promised, and despite knowing fully well that Russell had his reservations concerning the issue, I knew it was the right thing to do. I also knew that if he would look past his fears and worries, he would see that keeping me locked up at home would do me more harm than good. Don't get me wrong, I was Bella nervous leaving my little girl with a total stranger, but the nanny had been vetted, and I knew she was no threat. Besides, Sasha, my sister was still around and that was enough to let me rest easy. Leaving baby Emily in Sasha's charge would be detrimental, but that didn't mean she couldn't still offer a helping hand when it was necessary and also keep a watchful eye on the nanny. "Oh my God it is so good to see you." Amy squealed the moment I stepped into the office on Monday. She literally ran over to me and embraced me in what I could call a bone crushing hug...if her limbs weren't so skinny. Maybe she had actual

As usual, Ms. Jenny was seated behind her office desk when I stepped In, and not surprisingly, she was making a phone call that lasted a while. I got it though. She probably had a lot to discuss with all the other head of departments...or maybe she just really liked using her phone.Whatever the case, I couldn't help but wish she would be done with her call soon so that she could attend to me and I could be on my merry way.That didn't happen...not for the next 10 minutes at least. So there I was, standing awkwardly by Ms. Jenny's desk as I waited for her to get off the phone. She had not given me the permission to sit and I had better manners than to do So, hence my awkward stance. By the time she was done with her call, I was almost ready to turn on my heels and run out of her office."Elisa Jones." She declared, as she simultaneously dropped her phone. She eyes me in a manner that suggested she was only just noticing me for the first time. "Good morning. Ma'am " I greeted, tryi
The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 62
I knew I was supposed to be dejected about the punishment I had just received as a result of my elongated absence from work, and although I reckoned it was rather fair considering the company's policies, I couldn't help but feel that it was probably a little excessive. I mean, I obviously wouldn't mind being an assistant to Jason or some of the other auditors on the team because I knew that they would at least treat me with some level of dignity.Being an assistant to Amy or April however was going to be a different case entirely. For starters, they already did not like me and they would obviously jump at the chance to boss me around and treat me like dirt.It was going to be a hellish period no doubt, but rather than focusing on those details, my mind had become rather preoccupied with something else.Just as I was about to leave Ms. Jenny's office, she received another call which I had no intentions of eavesdropping on, but I heard a name that had me stopping dead in my tracks and
The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 63
Calling Russell during work hours was something I had actively avoided ever since I started working at NNT. It was important that we kept the details of our marriage on the down low, especially since the details of our marriage might be confusing for some. In the same vein, I had never taken the liberty to visit his office, except for that one time during my employment interview, a time that felt so long ago considering how much Russell and I had grown so much since then. We had fallen in love, built a family together…a real one, and now even had a daughter who was the little cherry on top our marvelous cake. Unfortunately, this whole drama with Charlie was going to make me break all the rules, and I couldn’t even care.I pulled out my phone with shaky hands and dialed Russell’s number, but every time, I got redirected to voice mail. After the fou
The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 1: A Birthday Surprise
Two years.Two fucking years, that’s how much time I wasted on that asshole Charlie, and the fact that I didn’t figure him out sooner makes me feel so stupid.To me, he was the perfect package, a man sent directly from God with a heart of gold.Little did I know that he was just a fantastic actor, because how else can you explain the fact that I never even suspected him? Not once, and not because I didn’t have reasons to, but I just trusted him too much, and that was my first mistake.Our entire relationship had been a lie.All the promises, the whispers we shared in the dark, the undying love he said he had for me, the dreams about our future, all blatant lies.It was his birthday last Tuesday and after proposing to me two weeks before that, I thought that there was no better way to celebrate his special day than to give him some wonderful news, news that we were expecting a baby. I thought that it was the perfect birthday present but apparently, he had other ideas.I had only just f
The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 2: The Wrong Fox
I couldn’t sleep.I was having a literal panic attack in the hours leading up to the interview because if I didn’t get this job, I didn’t know when next I was going to get a similar opportunity. It was a miracle that I even got an interview in the first place, and I just knew that I could not mess this up. I couldn’t afford to. Not with my rent being due in a few weeks, and a baby on the way.It wasn’t just about me anymore, and the meager salary I was earning at the laundry shop wasn’t going to cut it. This had to work, there was no other way around it.Still, I decided not to let my anxiety get the better of me. Instead, I put on my big girl pants and dressed up in my most presentable outfit. I took one last glance at my reflection in the mirror, and subconsciously, I found my hand going up to my belly, caressing it and feeling for any signs of life. It hadn’t started to swell yet, but I knew a little human was growing in there and I just couldn’t get used to that.I booked an uber
The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 3: The Contract
“He’s my twin brother.” Those were the only words that kept echoing in my mind as I followed meekly behind Russell as he led me out of the office and towards a nearby coffee shop. After his big revelation, I was stunned to silence and I half expected him to call the cops immediately and have me dragged out in cuffs. But he did no such thing. Instead, he asked me to follow him to a place where we could speak comfortably. I couldn’t understand what he wanted to speak about that couldn’t be said in his office. Granted, I had already made a massive mess of the place but still, I’m sure we could have concluded our business in there because walking out into the lobby of the company felt like a literal walk of shame and I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. “Stupid, stupid Charlie.” I groaned in my mind. How could he never bother to mention that he had a twin brother who had exactly the same face, build, and voice as him? Now I had gone and made a fool out of myself. Final
The Billionaire's Borrowed bride CHAPTER 4: The biggest boss
To say that my day had taken an unexpected turn was nothing if not the biggest understatement of the century. One moment, I was depressing over being rejected by the father of my child and the next moment, I was signing documents that validated me as an auditor at NNT cooperation.When Russell had said the position had already been occupied, I couldn’t hide my disappointment because I thought I had done really well during the interview, but apparently, there was someone who had done much better than me. Still, that did not mean that they needed the job more than me because God knows I needed that job, and that person whoever he or she was had gone and stolen it from me.I wanted to mind my business and keep my thoughts to myself. Besides, I knew that it went against some sort of policy to disclose the information of employees except when extremely necessary but honestly, curiosity was gnawing at my insides, and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I blurted out the question which I knew t
