The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter One: Just Her Like
“Are you almost done?” Lily Bashwood asked Rudney as she glanced at her watch for the fifth time in three minutes and tapped her foot against the magnolia floor of Top Taste Wine shop.“Hey, um, could you spare me another fifteen minutes? I just need to wrap this up real quick and we will be good to go,” Rudney said.But Lily checked the time again; if she waited on Rudney, she would not be able to catch her brother’s baseball practice, and it would really break his heart.“Honestly, Rudney, it’s fine. We could always do this tomorrow. You don’t have to walk me to the bus station every freaking evening,” Lily tried to dissuade Rudney.The look on his face indicated that he did not want Lily to be on her own. “I could be really fast,” Rudney pressed.“Sorry!” Lily said stubbornly as she opened the door to the shop and walked into the street. She was not a baby that needed babysitting, and one day, she hoped that Rudney would understand that. Lily walked towards the bus station, whistl

“My name is Ashley Grander. I am twenty six years old. I have an interesting personality and my hubbies include partying, going on vacations, painting when I feel like it, and casually enjoying a glass of Mojito in the beach.”Lily’s hand shook as she held the paper and read through her new personality for the umpteenth time. She hadn’t slept a wink the entire night, and it was almost morning.“Take that again. You have to master it so that you don’t make any mistakes,” Emily told Lily. “And for the love of Christ, stop fidgeting!”Lily swallowed again and tried to steady her hand. None of them in the room had slept at all. “My name is Ashley Grander. I am twenty six years old…”“What did you do on your twenty-fifth birthday last year?” Don Grander interrupted Lily impatiently.Lily tried to remember what she had read that Ashley had done. “I went skiing in Vermont, and after that, I travelled for a girl’s trip to Venice,” Lily answered, hoping to God that she was right. The one-eyed

“I don’t belong here,” Lily said to herself as she stood in the middle of the strangers watching. It did not feel like her wedding day at all, and she felt as though she was in the midst of sharks as she stared at the wealthy, powerful and influential guests, most of them flanking around Christopher, and totally ignoring her.“Have you ever tasted such power and luxury?” Lily startled as she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned and saw that it was Emily.“No,” Lily shook her head and said.“Then you should consider yourself lucky that we selected you to be Ashley’s replacement, because we both know that your job would never have gotten you anywhere close to this even in the next decade,” Emily told Lily.“I never wanted this,” Lily reminded Emily. In fact, now that Lily had said her vows, she was even more scared and frightened than she had been when she was kidnapped.“You do not have a choice, dear. Remember that you owe me five thousand dollars every week,” Emily reminde

Lily and Christopher rode in his limousine to their new home. Lily had never been in a limousine before, so instead of staring at the rigid features of Christopher, she decided to fill her eyes with the beauty of the car.She could not understand why he was so upset.“Why are you looking around like that?” Christopher asked.Lily was a little startled at the sound of his husky voice. He was eventually talking to her! They hadn’t exchanged a single word since they said ‘I Do’, and even when they got into the car, Christopher sat away from Lily. Don Grander and Emily told her all she needed to know about whom she would be impersonating for a year, but they failed to tell her what sort of relationship Christopher and Ashley shared before her death.Heck, she did not even know how Ashley died.“What?” Lily asked, confused. She could not meet Christopher’s cold stare.“Why are you looking around the car like that?” Christopher repeated.Lily chuckled nervously. “First time jitters, I guess

Lily started to unpack the moment Christopher walked out of the bedroom. She was still shaken by his last words, but Lily convinced herself that she would have to step up her game of impersonating.“I cannot afford to mess this up. Joe’s life is at stake here, not just mine,” Lily reminded herself as she opened the boxes of clothes. “Why does she dress like a whore?” Lily asked no one in particular as she looked at the endless tons of revealing dresses. She was yet to take off her wedding dress, but thinking about wearing any of these made Lily’s skin crawl.“Do not think much about this, Lily,” Lily gave herself the pep talk. “They are just clothes, and you can handle it,” she told herself.Just then, she heard a knock on the door. “Come in,” Lily said without thinking. She knew it couldn’t be Christopher Bridger; he was too arrogant and prideful to knock in his own home.Maggie, the housekeeper entered. “Hi ma’am, I just thought that you might need some help unpacking,” she told L

Lily was still shivering from the threatening call she received from Ashley’s lover, and she did not know what to do. Christopher did not even give her enough time to dwell on it or come up with a solution, because a few minutes after that, Lily found herself in Christopher Bridger’s private jet.“Welcome, Mrs. Bridger, we are glad to make your acquaintance, and congratulations on your wedding,” the air hostess, a young and attractive woman with a deep London accent said to Lily.Lily swallowed for lack of what to say. She instantly felt small and inadequate in her presence.“I am Matilda, Mr. Bridger’s personal hostess,” she went on to introduce herself when Lily looked tongue-tied.“Thank you. It’s nice to make your acquaintance as well,” Lily managed to answer. If Christopher’s air hostess could be this sophisticated, then Lily could only imagine what the other women in his life would look like. Well, from the wedding reception, Lily already had an image of that etched in her head

“Run Lily, run!”The voice called from the distance. Lily stood by the side of the beach, twirling and turning, searching and seeking the direction of the voice.“I can’t see you!” Lily called out.The voice was oddly familiar, but Lily struggled to recall whose voice it was just as she struggled with finding the owner of the voice.“Run! Lily please, run!” The voice called out again, more urgently this time around.Lily looked around frantically, her breathing growing faster and faster. She looked at the large body of water and the waves slapping against the tides. Lily stared in horror.“Take Joe and run as fast as you can!” The voice urged, pulling at Lily.Then it dawned on Lily; it was the voice of her mother. She would never have figured out the voice if she hadn’t mentioned Lily’s brother.“Mummy!” Lily said and ran towards the water. She was certain now that her mother’s voice was calling her from the heavy tidal waves.“Don’t come any closer!” Her mother’s voice became stern

Christopher Bridger sat in the balcony and worked on his iPad. If his members of staff could see him now, they would be bewildered; why the heck was he working on his honeymoon?!But this was far from a honeymoon to Christopher. He knew what this marriage was all about and what was expected of him and now that they were not really in the eyes of the public, there was no need pretending to be a couple in love.Christopher wasn’t married for up to three days and he could not wait for the one-year marriage contract to be over so that he could go back to his life and space, but then again, Christopher’s mind wasn’t even fully concentrated on work; his mind was elsewhere.On his wife, Ashley Grander.“What is going on?” Christopher asked himself.It was early morning the next day and he just wanted to spend this time alone, so he had called the hotel service staff assigned to them for the period of their stay to take Ashley out on a tour. In truth, Christopher could not stand Ashley, and h

Lily was stunned at the reaction she was seeing from Christopher. Since she got married to Christopher, which has been over three months now, she had never seen him vulnerable, not even once, talk more of crying.Then it dawned on Lily that she had gone too far.“Christopher, I am so sorry,” Lily tried to apologized, but Christopher still had his eyes closed even though no other tear slipped out of his eyes.Not that Lily was expecting to see more tears; the only one that she saw unnerved her even. Christopher remained silent and unmoving, and Lily was confused for a second.“Are you okay?” Lily asked, her voice sounding a little shaky.Then she reminded herself that she was completely Ashley Grander now, and Ashley would not be afraid, regardless of what she had done. So Lily summoned courage and quietly walked closer to Christopher and handed him the towel.Christopher snatched it from her in an instantly, so much so that Lily almost passed out in shock, and he slammed the bedroom r
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 115: Gone Too Far
Lily had to literally bite her lips with her teeth to prevent her from laughing out loud at Christopher’s shock, even though the flash of fear that she had caught in his eyes before it had quickly disappeared had worried her a little.Why would a man like Christopher Bridger be afraid? Surely, dozens of women had already seen his glorious naked form.“What are you doing here?” Christopher asked frantically.It was difficult, but Lily had to try as much as possible not to look linger on the parts of Christopher’s body that set hers on fire. It was the first time that she was seeing him naked, and she could not deny that Christopher Bridger was sexy as hell.“This is also my bathroom,” Lily said, slurring her words.Christopher’s hands covered his manhood protectively, because when Lily had entered the bathroom, she had taken his towel and held it behind her, and waited for him to turn. After he had left the room last night, Lily had looked through the window to see if he would drive ou
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 114: Allergic To Seductive Women
Christopher tiptoed into the bedroom in the morning, and sighed in relief when he saw Lily sleeping peacefully. After he had left her, he had gone to the basement and passed the night there.He had never seen her in that light before. He always knew her to be reckless and wild, but then again, Christopher thought that they already had an understanding about the terms of their marriage. It was not a marriage of love or even convenience; it was purely based on a contract, and in a few months from now, all of that would be over.Ashley could take her wildness and recklessness to wherever she wanted; he really did not care, as long as it did not bring him any form of scandal, because Christopher was a man who was big on reputation; it was how he was able to build his company to the level that it had gotten.Last night, as he laid in the basement, one thought had crossed Christopher’s mind; What was wrong with the women around him?First, it was Aimee, although she had been dead drunk, had
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 113: Returned Threat
Aimee ground her teeth in annoyance at the rude interruption, because she could not understand why Trisha would show up at her house as early as possible in the morning, shatter her very expensive window, and call her a bitch.“What is going on there?” Derek asked over the phone, making Aimee recall that she was even still on a call to Derek. “Are you okay? Is everything alright?” Derek continued to ask.“Let me call you back, Derek,” Aimee said and ended the call before Derek could say anything.Then she opened her front door and stood confidently and fearlessly before Trisha was who standing in the middle of her compound.“How did you know my house?” Aimee could not help but ask.She crossed her hands over her chest and looked at Trisha, fuming with anger. This was the exact reason she hated dealing with people of Trisha’s caliber, because they always had a way of acting irrationally and crazily.“Did you think you could hide from me?” Trisha asked and Aimee burst into laughter almo
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 112: Ruined Morning
It was a splendid night for Aimee Landon, and she woke up with a great mood, so much so that she practically danced like a happy princess as she went about her morning routine, from brushing her teeth to making her coffee, and of course, having breakfast of toast and jam. “Today is a perfect day!” Aimee sang to herself. The previous day had gone way better than she had expected. The press release, although not what Aimee would have wanted in a lifetime, was released almost immediately after, and those companies that were threatening to withdraw their contracts from Christopher’s company retraced her steps, and that was coupled with the fact that Aimee had also texted her source and asked her to take down the post about Christopher going into her apartment. Who could play the game this good? Definitely no one else! All that had happened had put Christopher in a better mood, and because he had been in a better mood, he was more than cordial with her. Aimee had feared that Christophe

The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 111: Not The Expected Outcome
The deep intensified as Lily used her teeth to subtly and gently part Christopher’s mouth open, and Christopher did so with abandon. They kissed, deeply and passionately, and in that moment, it seemed as though Lily was in a different world entirely. Their tongues intertwined, their lips locked, and they tasted each other completely. Lily wasn’t expecting that she would be this good with kissing Christopher, because she had never kissed a man before, but more importantly, she never knew that kissing him would taste this good and make her entire body tingle with pleasure. Then Christopher lifted Lily effortlessly and took her towards the bed. Lily already suspected how it was going to end, because the kiss and Christopher’s strong hands around her set her entire body on fire. She wanted Christopher Bridger to take her in that moment, but her heart beat even with all the lust and desire. Lily Bashwood had never been intimate with a man before and regardless of how she felt in Christ
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 110: A Wild Wife
Lily liked the look of shock that she saw in Christopher’s eyes. This was the very first time that she was getting a reaction out of him that wasn’t anger. “Ashley?” Christopher asked, as though he was seeing a ghost.Lily would have been disturbed by that, but the woman that constantly forgot her role as Ashley Grander in Christopher’s life which made her constantly trip or shoot herself in the leg was gone. Now, Lily was more than ready to do the right thing, because some factors had prompted her to.“That’s me, Christopher,” Lily said, her words slurring. Then she got off the bed, ensuring that she made all the right moves.When Lily arrived at the house, it had been as though she was entering a strange place, or maybe it was because she was entering as Ashley Grander for the very first time, and not Lily Bashwood who was struggling to get into character. Just as she had planned it, she had arrived when Christopher was away at work, so that she would have ample time to do what she
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 109: Hey Husband
They arrived at the press room about two hours later after Aimee had returned into her apartment and freshened up.When she had entered her apartment, she had danced happily; all traces of sadness and hurt due to Christopher’s stark rejection to her seduction flown out through the window.Christopher Bridger had referred to the company as theirs! He had actively included Aimee in the company for the very first time since she began to work for Christopher. That was all the reassurance and boost that Aimee needed.“Welcome, Mr. Bridger and Miss Aimee,” the presswoman greeted.Christopher had had to pay a hefty amount of money to secure a press release that same day, because he knew how important it was to do damage control as quickly as possible. If he delayed, his business associates would withdraw the contracts they were yet to sign with him, his company would crumble to the ground, and he would be forgotten like he never existed in the entire country.“Thank you,” Christopher said, a
