The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 120: The Mistress And The Maid
Lily decided not to dwell so much on the cruel words that Christopher said to her before leaving, because if she did, she would cry more, and she might be forced to stop trying.She knew that he meant that he wasn’t attracted to her but to Aimee Landon, and he only denied having anything to do with her, because he did not want to be accused of infidelity, which was equally a horrible scandal.Lily hadn’t met with the domestic employees since she got back, and she decided that it was the best thing to do to get her mind of Christopher and his harsh words.“When I am done setting some rules, then I can begin reading Ashley’s journal,” Lily told herself as she got ready to go downstairs.Thoughts of the journal made Lily awfully scared and worried, which was why she hadn’t even thought of it since she got back, but she knew that she couldn’t put it off forever. She already made a promise to the old maid, and now that Lily had an inkling of the kind of life Ashley lived, she genuinely wan

but then again, she had already left the house for more than twenty four hours now, and Ashley’s room was usually cleared out within every forty eight hours. “No, no, I can’t risk it. I have to go,” Lily told herself.If she delayed any further, Ashley’s room would be cleared out, and it certainly would not be by the old maid, and when that happens, the diary would be found, being that it had already been taken out of its original hiding place. Where Lily hid it could easily be reached once they cleared out the room.“Crap, how did I even do this to myself?” Lily continued to question and scold herself as her heart beat faster and dreadfully.This was something that could have been avoided, but instead, she had made another terrible mistake, and now, she would have to return to the place of her torment just to get it. Lily thought of completely abandoning the diary, but her conscience just wouldn’t let her do that, especially after the promise she made to the old maid, hearing snippe

Gently and slowly, Lily turned and faced Emily, and she made the terrible mistake of smiling, even though the smile did not reach her eyes.She was scared to her bones!“Wipe that ugly smile off your face; you look like a flipping monkey,” Emily said coldly as she approached Lily, and instantly, the smile disappeared from Lily’s face.She hadn’t even realized that she had given Emily a smile that she didn’t deserve. The smile was only borne out of dread, and the fact that she had been caught.“Stop standing there and come over here,” Emily said gruffly. “I detest the fact that we still have to tell you literally everything. You claim to be better, but you still act dumb to me,” Emily added bitterly.Lily walked solemnly to the living room and took a seat after Emily. Emily had always been hostile to her, which wasn’t a new thing for Lily, but now, she just saw her as a completely different person, especially with what she had come to know about her.“She is here, isn’t she?” Don Grand

Lily was beyond herself with joy when her hand grazed the hard back of the diary.“Thank goodness!” Lily whispered to herself in gratitude.She had no idea what she would have done if the diary had been taken out, especially now that the old maid had been fired. “I am never going to let this out of my sight,” Lily vowed to herself, referring to the diary.She proceeded to put it inside her hand bag and leave the room, but a thought crossed Lily’s mind; what if Don Grander and Emily decided to search her before leaving? What if they demanded to see that exact thing that she had claimed to have forgotten? The fact that her prayer for them not to question her about what she must have forgotten did not mean that they would not act their usual self on her way out. Lily had now known Don Grander and Emily, and she knew exactly what they were capable of doing, and she wasn’t going to take any chances.Lily looked around Ashley’s wardrobe, trying to see if she could take something of Ashley’

Derek lurked around the apartment that Aimee had texted to him as the address of the lady he was supposed to be taking care of.It was not until Derek waited and waited for over an hour that it dawned on him that he did not even exactly know what he was here for. Derek was a skilled private investigator who had worked on her own terms for a couple of years now, but he could not tell why he had been given this task. The job to dig out ugly and filthy secrets about Ashley Grander had been his specialty, as well as finding out that Rosa held the information that Emily desperately and earnestly needed.“So what am I here for?” Derek asked himself.In order not to waste his ample and precious time, he called Emily, and thankfully, she picked, because if she hadn’t, he would have grabbed a cab and left. Derek could very well own a car of his own, but being that he had been in this job for years now, he knew that having a car was pretty risky. First of all, he could be traced with his car, b

“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.

“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

Don Grander could not arrive home any faster. Emily wasn’t usually one to cry wolf or even call him at the slightest inconvenience. If he ever got an urgent call from her, it meant that whatever was going on was intense.It reminded Don Grander of when Ashley was still alive and living with them. Often times, when Don Grander would get such calls, it would only mean that Ashley had done something of grave consequences and Emily wanted him to punish her severely.Don Grander was sick of juggling from one problem to another, and he just wanted everything to be over really soon with him emerging as the winner. Before he left, he strictly instructed Monk to continue to look for Benedict, even though he had already bought Monk’s idea of including it in Lily’s task.Emily was in the living room when Don Grander arrived home was early as he could make it.“What is going on?” Don Grander asked impatiently.Emily seemed very enraged. “You never listen to me, and it freaking pisses me off,” Emi

Don Grander waited for Monk at one of the private lounges that he usually booked for certain rare occasions. Don Grander had been too preoccupied for days now to even think of his daughter’s impersonator, but thankfully, Emily had assured him that everything was in good shape, and now that she had returned to Christopher, positive change and result were highly anticipated. Don Grander was relieved when Monk showed up sooner than expected, because Don Grander hated to be kept waiting, and he insisted on meeting here rather than the house to prevent obnoxious ears. “What is the news?” Don Grander asked Monk as Monk settled in. “I couldn’t find him,” Monk said in defeat. Disappointment and anger showed in Don Grander’s eyes immediately. “What are you talking about, Monk? Benedict is not a spirit, and he cannot afford to run away from this city, so why are you telling me this?” Don Grander asked Monk angrily. Lately, Monk was beginning to fail in most of the tasks assigned to him. T
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 117: Naughty Nanny
As Christopher sat at the back of his expensive car as his driver and bodyguard drove him to work, he could not help but feel the ache in his heart. This was the exact reason he never wanted any woman in his life, much more in his house. Over the years, Christopher had managed to maintain a single status, even though virtually all the single women in the city tried at several intervals to shoot their shot on him. “You should be thinking of getting married, Christopher,” his father had told him a year before he passed. “You are thirty now,” he had reminded Christopher. “I still have time,” Christopher had told his father stubbornly, because the mere thought of getting married and living with a woman scared the shit out of him. “You might think you do, but you don’t, Christopher,” his father had insisted. Christopher hadn’t known by then that his father had already been diagnosed of a terminal illness that would snatch his life in a couple of months, and that he was also speaking
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 116: Hurtful Reminder
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
