“Ashley, get in here immediately!” Christopher bellowed angrily, causing Lily to jump in fright.She left his room just a couple of minutes ago, so how come he had already discovered that his money was missing? Something wasn’t exactly right, and even though Lily could not exactly pinpoint exactly what it was, she just believed that it was unreal. First of all, there was a chunk of money there, so he would have to count it first to know that a fraction of it was missing, and secondly, he reacted too quickly.“Ashley!” Christopher’s loud and angry voice cut through Lily thoughts, making Lily jump again.Lilly’s heart began to beat faster as she approached Christopher’s bedroom. She also began to think about what she would say or do that would completely get her out of this situation.“Thank God I sent Maggie to clean the room,” Lily said to herself gratefully. All she needed to do was play defensive.Lily took a few deep breaths to calm her steady raging nerves and also summon enough c

Christopher could not get over what happened recently. It had been two days now, and Ashley was yet to produce the money she stole from him. He had noticed something was off right from their wedding day, but he could not exactly pinpoint him. Ashley was always acting off, and then there were the nights that she battled with troubled sleep when they shared a room together. Although Christopher had never spent the night with Ashley Grander prior to their wedding day, he knew that she was just not that person to be troubled by sleep. It was evident that she was fighting demons of her own, and Christopher knew this, because he also had demons of his own that he wrestled with every now and then.He knew that Ashley was wild and rugged, but a thief? That was just something he didn’t expect she would do, because it didn’t seem like Ashley’s personality. Anyway, Christopher decided that he would pay Don Grander a visit, because something was off, and Christopher was beginning to have this uns

Yes, this is exactly what I am looking for!” Aimee said in her head.She felt like standing up and twirling in delight, but she could not do that, because of obvious reasons, but she definitely would when she returned to her apartment later this evening. When Christopher had sent for her, Aimee had prayed deeply that it would not be work-related, but when Christopher had mentioned Ashley, Aimee had wished that it was work-related. She would rather spend the entire day buried in work than talk about the one woman that stole her man away from her. Nevertheless, as the conversation progressed, it then began to swing in Aimee’s favor. If Christopher was doubting Ashley, then that was good news in Aimee’s book.“Ashley Grander now steals?” Aimee could not help but ask. Ashley Grander certainly did not have a clean slate now.“That is the thing, Aimee; she does not steal,” Christopher answered.“With all due respect, Mr. Christopher, how do you know this?” Aimee asked. “A woman like Ashl

Christopher left the office with the intention of confronting Don Grander. He already knew that Don Grander would be at the men’s club wasting his time away, and he went straight there. Christopher could tolerate anything, but being fooled was not one of them.When Christopher arrived at the men’s club, his phone rang before he could step out of his car. Christopher looked at the screen and saw that it was Aimee Landon.“Aimee, what is it?” Christopher asked instantly. He did not want to waste any time talking on the phone.“I just wanted to let you know that the date for the interview has been fixed, and the questions your interviewer would ask are ready,” Aimee informed Christopher over the phone.“What about Ashley, are her questions ready as well? I don’t want any mistakes, Aimee,” Christopher stated firmly.“Yes, they are, sir,” Aimee answered. “I will send them to your email. You have about a day to go through them, and if there are any questions you would like her to change, c

Christopher decided that the first thing he would do when he got home was to remove the punishment he placed on Ashley by asking her to return to their bedroom.“I can only figure things out when I have her within eyesight,” Christopher said to himself.As Christopher sat at the back of his expensive car while his driver and bodyguard drove him home, his mind drifted back to about a year ago when his father’s lawyer, Benedict, had informed him about his father’s arrangement with Don Grander right after Christopher’s father’s death and his takeover as heir and CEO to the company.“Christopher, can I have a moment?” Benedict, a man who happened to be the same age as Christopher’s father and his lawyer for decades, had said.There had been mourners and well-wishers in the Bridger living room, because they had all just returned from the funeral. Christopher and everyone else present were putting on black, and as Christopher raised his head to look at Benedict, he wondered what the man wou

Christopher just kept ruminating over that very day on his father’s funeral. Maybe if he had stood his ground and firmly said no, or better still, fight against the agreement in court, he would probably not be in this situation in the first place. Christopher could not explain how much he hated Don Grander, way before now, and to think that he would be his father-in-law for one year was too excruciating to bear.Christopher wanted to scream.That particular day had been the beginning of his problems, and now he felt like a fool for succumbing to it even though Benedict showed a legal agreement between his father and Don Grander.Christopher arrived home a couple of minutes later. He would ask Ashley to return to the bedroom they were supposed to be sharing, so that he could have access to do his own personal investigation on her.“Welcome back, Mr. Christopher,” Maggie greeted Christopher.The way she stood indicated that she had been waiting for him for a while now, and he wondered

Lily heard voices downstairs, and she knew already that it was Christopher, even though she did not hear him drive in.His mansion was like an estate; so large that it was almost impossible to hear when anyone drives in.She had been contemplating going downstairs, but she changed her min. Something just felt awkward, and Lily began to smell trouble, but she could not tell what it was. It was just like when she was a little girl; she always knew when her parents were mad at her and intended to either scold or punish her when she had done things that she shouldn’t have done even without seeing them.Anyway, Lily did not have to worry for long, as Christopher barged into her room, almost pulling out the door in the process. Lily jumped in shock.“Ashley!” Christopher barked the same time that he barged into the room.For the very first time, Lily saw an enraged Christopher, and fear gripped her. It was as though she was being faced with an angry lion that was ready to eat her up alive.

Lily woke up much later feeling light-headed. She didn’t understand what happened. The only thing Lily remembered is that when Christopher had scared the shit out of her, she had passed out.Then Lily heard some voices and when she turned, she saw Christopher and a strange man who seemed like a doctor talking.“What exactly happened to her?” Christopher was asking the doctor.“I have looked at her vital signs, but nothing seems to be wrong with her,” the doctor said. He sounded worried and somewhat confused.“Are you sure? I have never heard of someone passing out just like that,” Christopher said.“Beats me too, Mr. Bridger, trust me,” the doctor said.Lily bit her lower lip with her upper teeth; she was in a deep trouble. How would she explain passing out just because she and Christopher had an intense confrontation, because what if Ashley Grander was never known to pass out? Lily was greatly troubled. Christopher was already doubting her identity, and although he barely knew Ashley

“Monk!” Don Grander yelled at the top of his voice, almost tearing out his lungs. He was in his bedroom, and he paced furiously. Some minutes later, Monk rushed into his room.“Boss, you sent for me,” Monk said, confused, because he was just with Don Grander about an hour ago in the study where they talked at length.“Something has happened,” Don Grander said through clenched teeth.“What might that be?” Monk asked.“Before you and I went out, I was going through the original and fake document that I and Bridger signed before his demise, and the one that Benedict drafted for me which he showed to Christopher to make him believe and succumb to what we want,” Don Grander explained.“Okay…” Monk said, paying rapt attention to what Don Grander was saying even though he was wondering why Don Grander decided to go through the papers in the first place.It was as though Don Grander could read Monk’s thoughts, because he answered right away. “You know that this last deal is very huge; it is t

Aimee threw herself into planning this special event for Christopher and his company. He did not give her the full details, but she worked with what she had anyway.She had been busy contacting vendors and planners, making plans and readjustments; Aimee wanted complete perfection, because this was the event that she was banking on completely. She was fed up of waiting for Christopher to come by, and even though he had reinstated her with even better promotion, Aimee feared that Christopher had fallen for Ashley, and she could not let that happen.After this event, she would have exactly what was hers!Aimee was still in deep thoughts when her phone rang. When she checked the caller ID, it was the new man that she had hired to do her dirty business. The moment Aimee realized that Derek was no longer on board, she had had to find someone else. This time around, Aimee ensured that she went for someone who was fierce and dangerous.“What news do you have for me?” Aimee asked.Now that she
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 194: What Is The Plan?
Lily covered her mouth in shock and dreadful fright as her heart slammed against her ribs. At first, she thought that Don Grander was going to hear her gasp, and she feared for her life. If she was caught hiding by the stairs and eavesdropping, she would be dead even before the actual time, but thankfully, Don Grander and Monk were too engrossed in the whole conversation to even hear her.“I just want this to be over and done with so that Emily and I can finally go for that vacation. We have already missed our flight and she is breathing down my neck…it can be really frustrating,” Don Grander said to Monk.Then the two men stopped right close to Lily, making Lily more afraid.She needed to get away from this mansion before they either discovered that she was here, or that the papers were missing. As far as Lily knew, no one saw her come in except the security at the gate, and hopefully, she would be able to get out before Don Grander declares that anything is missing.“When she steals

“What?!” Lily was stunned and afraid and alert.Her mind instantly went to Monk and Don Grander’s threats that they would kill Joe if she failed on any of her tasks.“Yeah, and it was pretty weird. It made me feel uncomfortable,” Joe said over the phone.She could feel the discomfort in his voice, and Lily’s heart broke into more pieces. She even began to wonder how much heartache she could take at once.“I really wish you were here, Lily; I feel safe with you around,” Joe said warmly and sadly. “It has been over a year, and this is beginning to look creepy to me. Even Rudney does not exactly know where you are,” Joe admitted.Lily did not think that Joe would think too deeply about everything. She hadn’t even really been thinking about Joe and how her absence might have affected him. More tears dropped from Lily’s eyes in pain and regret. If only she could tell Joe exactly what was going on, but then again, she did not even have the liberty of brooding about that for so long, because

Lily felt like she had been hit with a ton of bricks at the harshness and cruelty of Christopher’s words, and when she managed to look into his eyes, she could see all the emotions right there.“Let me say what I came here to tell you, please,” Lily begged deeply.“How did you manage to bleed like a virgin when everyone knows that you are not, huh?” Christopher asked bitterly and angrily.Lily opened her mouth to say that it was because she was a virgin, but no words came out of her mouth, and Christopher mistook Lily’s inability to say the words as guiltiness.Christopher shook his head. “You are my worst mistake, Ashley, and I blame myself for not fighting this arrangement when I was told. After this party, you are going to return to your father’s house discreetly until this whole crap of a marriage is over; I never want to see your face again,” Christopher said firmly.Lily squeezed her eyes shut as the words sliced through her heart. She felt like Christopher had literally taken a
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 191: She Tried To Warn Him
Lily could not wrap her head around everything that the old maid had revealed to her.Ashley Grander was alive, and no one knew!A tiny part of Lily was relieved that she was, because after all she had found out about her, it just didn’t sound fair that she would have been murdered. Indeed, she played her game well. Another tiny part of Lily wanted to see Ashley, the only girl in the world that looked almost like her, but according to what the old maid said, Ashley was in a far away country where no one knew her and with a new identity. She was living with the old maid’s distant relative, and to ensure that she is completely safe, she and the old maid had had to keep off communicating.Ashley Grander was smarter than anyone Lily had ever met.Thinking away from her now, Lily thought about herself. As much as she was relieved that Ashley wasn’t truly dead after all the evil that surrounded her, she had been the unfortunate person forced into living her life, doing her job, and cleaning

“What?” Lily was stupefied.She could not believe that she had been played so well, but then again, a lot of questions were already running through her mind. Now, nothing seemed clear and she needed it to be, so she sat back down again.“You knew from the beginning that I wasn’t Ashley,” Lily stated.It was a statement that required an answered, a clarity of some sort.“Even if Ashley was truly dead, I would have known,” the old maid responded. “I raised her, you know,” she started as tears gathered in her eyes. “When her mother mysteriously and tragically passed, she was left in my care, and I loved and nurtured Ashley like she was my child. Do you know how heartbreaking it was for me to see her being constantly maltreated and punished?” The old maid asked.Lily could feel the raw pain in her heart as she spoke, and she shuddered at it.She would never be able to grasp the life of the wealthy and powerful. The more she thought she knew, the deeper the whole thing went. When she worke

There was still Hedge’s threat hanging over her head, but now, even Christopher’s life, reputation, and company are at stake here.Lily did not want anything to happen to Christopher Bridger at all.Then something struck Lily; to use Ashley’s phone to get across to the old maid! Why didn’t she even think of that all this while? She could not believe that she had allowed something as helpful as that escape her memory. She did not have enough time now, as the weekend event is just a few weeks away. Lily knew that Hedge wasn’t joking when he made a threat to Christopher’s life, because if he could release the sex video he had of Ashley, then he could certainly try to kill Christopher.The thought of it sent shivers down Lily’s spine.Thankfully, the old maid’s phone rang, and Lily waited with desperate anticipation for her to pick up.“Please pick up. Please pick up,” Lily prayed, and eventuall

Lily could not stop thinking about what she read and the possibility of what might be. The thought of it made her really scared and confused.Was Ashley’s body found? What truly happened that made Don Grander and Emily believe that their daughter was dead?These questions disturbed Lily’s mind as Christopher’s driver drove her to Don Grander’s house. She would have loved to ask Don Grander these questions, but she knew him too well now. She knew that talking to him about it would raise suspicions, and if it did, he might want to get rid of her. The only person that Lily could have been able to ask without fear was the old maid, but she had been fired, and Lily did not know where to find her.“I have to find her by every means possible,” Lily told herself.Don Grander had to be the worst parent that Lily had ever known. How could a man treat his own daughter like that? Lily’s father might be dead, but when he was alive, he loved, provided for, and fiercely protected their mother along
