The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 28: Something Is Not Right
Rudney turned the shop sign to open, but his mind was not really on what he was doing. It had been weeks now, and he had not heard a single word from Lily. The last time he saw her was that evening when Lily was too impatient to wait for him.“Hey, don’t just stand there looking, get to work immediately!” their boss at the shop bellowed at Rudney, making him to jerk back to reality and continue with what he is doing. On a second thought, Rudney decided to ask their boss. If there was anyone who would know something, it would be him. Rudney had tried to get answers from Joe, Lily’s brother, but the poor boy seemed to also be in the dark, which made Rudney even more worried.“What if something bad had happened to Lily?” Rudney asked himself as he made his way to the boss’s office. The thought alone sent shivers down his spine. If anything happened to Lily, Rudney would never survive it. In fact, how he had been showing up at work since Lily’s mysterious disappearance and getting throu

Lily woke up just as early as Christopher so that he would not go to work without getting some money from him. The threats coming from Don Grander and Hedge were getting too much, and Lily was scared that Don Grander would pull through with his and hurt her baby brother, Joe.They weren’t sleeping in the same room, so Lily made her way to Christopher’s room and knocked on his door.“Who is there?” Christopher asked in irritation.“Li…Ashley,” Lily said and corrected quickly. She had just woken up, and her mind was still foggy, which was why she almost mistakenly called her real name. Now that she was back to impersonating Ashley Grander, she would do well to remember to act just like her.Christopher yanked the door open, facing Lily squarely. He was half-dressed, but he was yet to button his shirt, and so the curly hairs on his chest stood out, tempting Lily and inviting her to rub her hands over them.“What do you want?” Christopher asked harshly, jolting Lily back to reality.Lily

Lily looked at the money as her mouth dropped open. This was the biggest amount of money she was seeing, and it was just lying there in the first drawer that she checked. Lily could bet that if she checked other parts of the room, she might find out that he had stashed money everywhere.“He is probably richer than I thought,” Lily said to herself.Without wasting time, Lily took some bundles of dollars from the money and left Christopher’s bedroom. When she got to her room, she began to feel like shit, because this would be the first time she would be stealing, but there was nothing she could do.“I was left with no choice,” Lily said.It did not make her feel any better, but it certainly gave her a reason why she took it. Now, Lily was left with two worries; how to send the money to both Don Grander and Emily; she was grounded, and therefore, not allowed to step foot out of the house, and Hedge, and her second worry was what would happen if Christopher returned and discovered that hi

While Lily waited for Emily to come, because she knew that as long as it involved money, Emily would stick to her words, Lily racked her head on how she could send the money to Hedge. The last thing Lily wanted was for him to call her first, because if he did, he would start demanding for a freaking affair.“What kind of lifestyle did you live, Ashley?” Lily asked.If Hedge was asking for an affair, it means that Ashley was very capable of having an affair, and that was not something Lily could do, no matter how well she had been asked to impersonate Ashley. The mere thought of Hedge running his hands over Lily’s body literally made her skin crawl, talk more of having a full blown affair with him.About an hour later, after Lily had showered and changed into something nice but a little casual, she heard a soft knock on the door.“Who is that?” Lily asked.“It is Maggie,” Maggie’s voice floated from the other side of the door. “May I come in?” Maggie asked.“Yes,” Lily simply answered

“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

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

The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 27: Damage Control
Aimee sat in her office and smiled to herself. She was such a motherfucking genius!How did Christopher ever think that he would get married to another woman and live happily ever after? What would happen to all her years of hard work and resilience?“Chris, you are mine, and mine alone,” Aimee said to herself, meaning every single word that came out of her mouth. She only needed time and few good strategies, and just as she had done to a couple of his relationships, she would destroy his marriage as well.“To think that he left me for that irresponsible slut,” Aimee gritted her teeth in annoyance. She became angry with Christopher; he always picked the worst kind of women over her all the time, and it was beginning to piss the hell out of Aimee.Aimee was jerked out of her thoughts when her phone vibrated in front of her. She picked up instantly with expectancy.“Derek, have you got my news?” Aimee asked Derek. She hadn’t called him to ask for update because she did not want to pres
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter Twenty-Six: The Debtor
Lily already knew they would chop her head off when Don Grander and Emily sent for her as bright and early in the morning. They probably must have heard about the terrible news on the news, and of course, since it would spoil things for them, they would be pissed off as hell.Lily got dressed that morning and went to answer their call.“You snake!” Don Grander spat the moment Lily stepped into their living room. The hostility was so high and intense that Lily toppled backwards in fear. Don Grander charged at her angrily, making Lily to cower in fear. The one-eyed man who did their dirty jobs stood by the door solidly. When Lily entered the living room, he had been the one who had opened the door to her, so he shut the door quietly and stood by it menacingly. Lily hadn’t known this, because she had been occupied with encountering Don Grander and his wife. So when Lily toppled backwards in fear, she hit his chest with her back. At first, Lily hadn’t even thought that it was a human she
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter Twenty-Five: An Enraged Husband
“Where the hell is she?!” Lily was jerked up in shock when she heard Christopher’s bellowing sound. She almost fixed herself under the bed just to hide away from Christopher’s rage and fury. She had been dreadfully anticipating this moment for a while now. After Juliet had narrated how she had gotten home the night before, Lily had been more scared than embarrassed, because she knew that Christopher would be mad as hell at her; he had warned her strictly not to embarrass him. The only thing Lily hadn’t been able to recall was what happened at the party, and for Christopher not to have returned the rest of the night was an indication that he was angry. Then while Lily had waited for Christopher to get back, she had seen the news break out on the internet, all over the blogs and social media.“Dirty Scandal: Billionaire Christopher Bridget’s beauty queen wife, Ashley Grander all wild and kinky at their party.”“Ashley Grander, Billionaire Christopher Bridget’s wife, acts dirty at the

Aimee Landon waited in her apartment for her guest to arrive. The night had gone just according to plan, and she was very excited.Well…except the fact that she was unable to lure Christopher Bridger to her apartment.Nevertheless, Aimee could not stop reminiscing on the kiss. She felt as though she was in paradise! She had known Christopher since high school, had had a huge crush on him since then, but the only closest thing she had ever gotten from him was holding hands, which he had taken causally. Over a decade, Aimee had watched Christopher go from one meaningless relationship to another, one fling to another, one one-night stand to another, one friends with benefit to another; some of them she had even had to secretly destroy herself. And he never noticed her. All the hints she gave, Christopher never looked in her direction.“You will soon be mine, Christopher Bridger,” Aimee smiled to herself. She grabbed her most expensive wine and took a big swig of it; she needed to reward
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter Twenty-Three: Something Smells Fishy
Lily woke up at the early hours of the morning with a funny feeling. She was alone on the bed, and as she turned and stirred, she felt the urge to puke. Lily dashed off into the bathroom and released everything that she had eaten the day before.“Ugh, what the heck?” Lily sulked. She felt like a complete mess. After puking and cleaning up, she decided to freshen up. Her brain was still fuggy, but she was beginning to recall a little of what happened last night. She could recall her encounter with Aimee, and how she had audaciously flirted with Christopher the entire night right in front of her. Lily also recalled that there had been men and women of the elite society in the party, and she had felt like a guest in her own party.Other than that, every other thing was a blur.Lily got out of the bathroom and sat in the bedroom again, thinking. It was still early in the morning, and the bed was empty, which meant that Christopher either did not share the bed with her, or he left early i
