The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 36: His Thief
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

Thankfully, Lily was no longer grounded, so she could actually stop Rudney from destroying her life before he went ahead with his plan. It was even a good thing that she spoke with Joe the day she did otherwise, they would all be doomed.So Lily grabbed Ashley’s phone and sent a quick text to Rudney, saying “Meet me up at that spot where we usually go to clear our head in an hour time. Please, do not call me; just be there.” Lily knew that even without including her name, Rudney would know that she was the sender. They were so close that they both had a garden where they usually went to clear their head on their off-days. It was Lily who discovered the quiet garden at a time in her life where guilt, regret, and her past trauma were eating her up. The garden was usually quiet and deserted and it brought untold peace to Lily’s soul. So when she and Rudney became close and Lily discovered that he also had things he was dealing with, she decided to show him the garden.When they were bot

Lily left Don Grander’s mansion, more relieved than she had ever been. At least for the very first time, he was communicating with her without spewing curses and threats when she reported a problem that she had found herself in. He was helping her fix a problem for the first time. With a new burst of energy and excitement, Lily decided to make her date with Christopher a memorable one. However, she did not want to go right back to the mansion and face Maggie so soon, because Lily had the feeling that Maggie would blackmail her yet again, especially knowing that Christopher wasn’t at home. So Lily surfed the internet with Ashley’s phone for the best planning services in the city, and she got options to pick from almost immediately. Then Lily gave her driver the address of the one that caught her fancy. “You are welcome to our store, Mrs. Bridger. It is such an honor to have you grace our store with your important and gorgeous presence,” Lily was greeted with so much enthusiasm and
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 147: Unusual Discomfort For A CEO
Christopher had a new secretary by the time he got to the office, and yet again, he was reminded that she was there as a result of Aimee’s prompt response to details. However, that was not even slightly compared to the fact that it felt awkward not having Aimee at the board meeting. It dawned on me that Aimee had never been absent. “What did I let her do to me?” Christopher asked himself. The other board members were competent, but it just wasn’t the same with Aimee’s absence, or maybe it was because Christopher was already used to having Aimee around. If he had fired her or demoted her as a result of misconduct, he would not be feeling this way, and also, Christopher just felt as though he had done something wrong, and his conscience had been pricking him slightly since he arrived at work. Christopher even wondered if Aimee would show up at work again. He would not be shocked if Aimee decided to turn in her resignation, because the truth of the matter was that deep down, Christop
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 146: The Part He Had Never Seen
Derek wasn’t completely shocked, because he knew this already, but what he did not know was what they did together that had created this animosity, so much so that Aimee wanted Trisha to be killed. “I would love to hear all about it,” Derek requested calmly. He really had to be tactical about this issue, otherwise he would risk losing Trisha, and also getting to the root bottom of what exactly went wrong, because the last thing Derek wanted to do right now was go back to Aimee for anything at all, especially an explanation. He still hadn’t been able to decide how exactly he was going to handle what he just found out about Derek, knowing that she was supposed to be facing the full wrath of the law for taking a life. Gosh, he could not even believe that she would have the guts to kill anyone in cold blood and then try to pin it on someone else. If Christopher Bridger wasn’t a powerful man, Ashley Grander would have been in jail by now for a crime she did not commit. A worse and mor

"Thank you for coming to lunch with me,” Derek said as he pulled out the chair for Trisha.Trisha smiled; a sight that Derek would give anything for to constantly see. “We have become friends over the last couple of days, so why not?” Trisha said as she took a seat.Then Derek signaled the server. After placing their orders, the server left them alone. Derek looked at Trisha, amazed at how beautiful she was. Her beauty and presence brought some sort of peace that Derek had never experienced before, and he would not have missed this date for anything in the world.“You are beautiful, Trisha,” Derek complimented deeply, making Trisha blush slightly.“You flatter me, Derek,” Trisha said with a sweet smile.“I only state the facts,” Derek told her.However, the words that Aimee said to him in her drunken state some hours ago still hadn’t gone out of his head. In fact, it kept gnawing at Derek. First of all, Derek now realized that Aimee was more dangerous than he ever thought her to be. H
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 144: Her Report
Don’t forget our deal…” followed Lily out of Christopher’s mansion like a haunting word as she entered into one of his cars and proceeded to go to Don Grander’s house.That alone was enough to encourage Lily to take this step that she was taking, because Maggie was already posing to be a dangerous threat, and she could not continue to just relax and do nothing about it. She needed to act fast, because if this spiraled out of control, she would be the one to suffer for it, not Maggie.Lily did not call to inform Don Grander about her visit, but she hoped to meet him at his mansion, and also make the visit a short one, so that she could return to Christopher’s mansion in peace and plan the date. Lily wanted more than enough time to plan it, because now that the task had been placed on her shoulders, Christopher would expect nothing short of elegant, classy, and downright luxurious and expensive. First of all, Ashley Grander was supposed to be planning this date, and secondly, Christophe
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 143: Stern Reminder
Lily waited patiently for Christopher to get ready and leave for work so that she could go over to Don Grander’s mansion and inform him of a new threat, because for the life of her, she had no idea what she should do with Maggie.As usual, Christopher was very discreet about having his shower and getting ready, and Lily just lay on the bed, waiting for when he would leave. When Christopher came out of the dressing room, Lily’s breath was stuck in her throat, because of how handsome he looked. His suit pants clung to his strong and firm thighs, and his jacket hung to his muscles like it was specifically made for Christopher. Of course it was made for him, because Christopher had a personal designer who took care of his fittings, making him look dashing and ravishing.“Now I can understand why Aimee is head over heels in love with him,” Lily said to herself, because without warning, she had also fallen for Christopher.However, his cruel words still rang in her head, jolting Lily out o
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 142: An Always Available Option
Lily was greatly troubled, so much so that she did not sleep a wink over the night. How could she possibly sleep when she was tormented by Maggie’s revelation and request? “What do I do?” Lily asked herself while Christopher slept soundly on his own side of the large bed. “How do I handle this situation with Maggie?” Lily continued to ask herself. The option of firing her was totally off the table now. If Lily attempted to fire Maggie, she would only be pushed to blow the whistle, and that would ruin everything for her and Joe, and Lily could not let that happen. If her life was the only one at stake here, she would have risked it, but she could not let Joe lose his life and dreams on account of her. Never. “I really need to do something about her,” Lily told herself. Blackmailers were never satisfied; Lily knew this from documentaries and movies that she had watched, and also stories that she had read. Maggie was asking for everything that she could get from Christopher. She

"Get here as fast as you can!” Aimee barked into the phone. She was still very enraged, and she feared that her anger was getting over the wall, which might lead to a heart attack if she didn’t take care of some things, and one of them being Trisha. “I will be there in thirty minutes,” Derek answered over the phone. “Jeez, make it twenty!” Aimee said and ended the call. She was fuming and she needed to vent. She still did not understand why she was getting a mockery text from Trisha of all people, and it made it all the more painful because of what transpired between them. Trisha did not only mock her, she still sent another text message right after that. “Don’t think I have forgotten what I told you in your apartment, Aimee. I am going to tell Mr. Christopher of your deeds, and he is going to make you pay for it. I hope you have realized now that you mean absolutely nothing to him.” When Aimee had read the text, she had smashed her phone in a fit of a rage, and literally scatte
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 140: An Old Acquaintance
Lily wasn’t sure she had heard correctly; her ears had to have heard wrongly, right? Slowly and gradually, Lily turned and faced Maggie; she had a sinister smile on her face. “What did you just say?” Lily asked. “I know who you are,” Maggie repeated without an iota of fear in her. “You are Lily Bashwood,” Maggie added. Lily almost collapsed in that moment. Her knees became weak, almost making her give way, and she had to fall to the ground, but thankfully, she was still close to the dining table, so she grabbed the chair to steady herself. The confidence with which Maggie had called her name indicated that she truly knew Lily, and that was not a good sign at all. Lily quickly glanced upstairs to check if Christopher had really gone upstairs and was out of earshot, because she would be damned if he got a hang of this conversation. It dawned on Lily that she was in a deep mess here. “How…how do you know?” Lily asked, stuttering. She would have liked to play the denial game, but sh
