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

RUSSEL'S POV.”One expresso martini, on the rocks please.” I said to the petite looking bartender who batted her eyelashes at me in an attempt to look seductive, but she just came off looking like she had a concoction. She wasn’t bad looking, far from it actually. In fact, she was way over the average looking girl and if I was still as young and immature as I was in high school and my first year of college then I might have offered her a second glance. Unfortunately, at this stage of my life, my priorities had become entirely different and trust me when I say that wasn’t entirely a good thing.I should be used to these advances by now, given that women had been throwing themselves at me at every slight opportunity, from a very young age, simply because I had money and a handsome face, but I just couldn’t get used to it no matter how hard I tried.When I was younger, I reveled in the attention because apparently being famous in high school was an ultimate requirement for having the best

RUSSEL'S POVTo me, getting married, and getting the CEO position were two totally unrelated topics, but apparently the older folks on the board of directors were nauseatingly old fashioned, because why would they chose to believe that my relationship status would somehow affect my performance in the company as soon as I become confirmed as CEO, when I’ve been doing just fine before now. When it came down to it, acting CEO and CEO were pretty much the same thing, and I had been doing just fine in that capacity even without a woman in my life so why did all these people want to make my life a living hell? I loved my grandpa a lot, and I was really fond of him even while he was alive. He was like my mentor and role model whom I looked up to but I really wasn’t sure If I wanted to forgive him for the whole marriage bomb he dropped on me right before his death.“Have you thought about hiring someone?” Sam suggested, pulling me out of my thoughts which were spiraling out of control by the
