The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter Eighteen: I Know Who You Are
“Hi, welcome to your party,” Aimee said to Christopher cheerily, intentionally acting as though Lily was not standing right next to him. “I was afraid you would be late for your own party,” she teased.Lily looked at her outfit and it screamed elegance and class. The thought that came to Lily’s mind was, “Damn, this woman is beautiful!”Lily had seen many beautiful women, but none of them came close to Aimee, plus, she was rich, a working class woman, and highly sophisticated.And very much in love with Christopher Bridger.Lily remembered her from her wedding reception. In fact, seeing Aimee brought back her warning of not being comfortable, and somehow, even though Lily knew that Aimee was the kind of woman that would go all out on a party, she sensed that Aimee had gone the extra length just for Christopher; she could not be convinced otherwise. The way Aimee looked at Christopher was too obvious to go unnoticed.Lily only wondered what went on between them at work.“I couldn’t,” C

“Hi, ladies and gentlemen,” Aimee said, clinking her nails on the wine glass in her hand to draw the attention of everyone in the party. Everyone turned towards her direction.Lily startled slightly when suddenly, she felt Christopher’s hand in hers. She did not realize that he had left the man he was talking to and walked over to her. Since she stepped into the party, Lily had barely been aware of anything around her. She just found herself swamped in the midst of all the glitz and glamour, and of course, Aimee’s antagonism.“Smile, people’s eyes are going to be on us from here on,” Christopher whispered gently into Lily’s ears. The image he drew in the eyes of other people would be a loving husband whispering sweet nothings to his wife.Lily smiled sweetly, and she did not even have to fake it, because the sound of Christopher’s voice and the air that came out of his mouth when he was not angry was soothing to Lily’s ears. She even wished that he would do it again.“Do not embarrass

Five minutes after Trisha left Lily, she felt a weird and odd stirring in her body system, and the next thing that happened to her in the next couple of minutes was completely lost on her.Lily suddenly felt the urge to go wild and crazy. She took off her heels and climbed on the nearest table to her, drawing instant attention to her. Christopher who was speaking to the older man abandoned him and walked hastily towards Lily.“Get down, right now!” Christopher said tightly. He was trying as much as possible not to raise his voice.Instead, Lily laughed like a wild woman on the loose. “Why should I, huh?” She looked at him with a cynical smile and erupted in laughter again. “Yoohoo! I feel on top of the world!” Lily yelled at the top of her voice. “Somebody get me a glass of alcohol!” Lily yelled wildly.A waitress walked close to Lily with a tray of glasses of alcohol, but the look Christopher gave her made her cower and scamper away in fright.“Darling,” Christopher patronized sweetl

“Stop, everyone!” Christopher yelled as he struggled to keep himself from falling on the table with Lily. He should have known that the next reactions of his guests would be to hold up their phones and capture his so-called wife embarrassing herself, and him in the process. Christopher had never felt so humiliated in his entire life, and because of her, he had just lost a major deal it took him a couple of minutes to secure. It was a miracle that Aimee had been able to get the man to attend his party, giving Christopher a rare chance to win the man over to his side, and now, in the blink of an eye, of all it had gone down the drain.“Put down your phones right now!” Christopher barked at them. This time around, they put down their phones. Most of them, especially the high class women, giggled and laughed at Christopher, while the men just couldn’t believe what they were seeing already. Some of the other women were pissed off as hell, because while Lily danced and displayed her sexy

“Do you have an idea what her misconduct cost me tonight?!” Christopher bellowed.The sound of his angered voice had startled Don Grander and Emily. Instead of going home, Christopher had gone to Don Grander’s mansion instead. He knew that Ashley would still be intoxicated, and therefore, nothing he would say would get to her, and Christopher also feared that if he went right to her with the way he was feeling, he might do something they would all regret. Christopher had never been violent with women. In fact, half of the time, he had been avoiding situations that would lead him to acting out of line, but then again, he was married to the craziest and wildest woman in the entire universe.“Son, you need to calm down,” Don Grander started by saying. Aside from Emily who had been woken up by Christopher’s barging in, and as a result, seemed a little grumpy and sleepy, Don Grander was still very much awake and active. When Christopher had stormed in raging like a furious lion, he had me

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

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

“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

The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 193: The Ultimate And Deadly Truth
“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
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 192: Undignified
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
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 190: An Insane Plan
“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
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 189: She Was Played
After Lily left Don Grander’s house, she could not afford to go back to Christopher’s mansion. 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
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 188: The Last Assignment
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
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 187: What Might Be…
Lily went to the guestroom and pondered greatly. So after everything, Christopher meant it when he said he was going to reinstate Aimee, and not just that, he had picked her to plan an event as important as this one.Lily knew how important this was to Christopher, because she went with him on the business trip and she knew everything that happened there…or almost everything, and yet, it was Aimee Landon he chose.“What is it with him and Aimee?” Lily asked herself.She was frustrated, but she was downright jealous. Lily’s heart ached just thinking about it, and now, tears filled her eyes. She would never mean anything to a man like Christopher Bridger, whether as Ashley Grander or Lily Bashwood. Deep down, Lily wished that Christopher would at least like her, that is Bashwood’s daughter, but that was only a wild dream.Unfortunately, when Lily wasn’t even hoping to, she had fallen for Christopher Bridger.Why wouldn’t she fall in love with him? Christopher was the only man aside from
The Billionaire's Fake Wife Chapter 186: The Chosen Planner
Lily woke up in a different mood; Hedge’s threat was still hanging over her head, and she did not know the right approach to it, and then there was this business thing that Christopher asked her to get prepared for.Lily did not want to be a part of it whatsoever, majorly because of the presence of Mr. Yang, but she really did not have a choice. Ever since Don Grander kidnapped her and forced her into this life, she had not done anything of her own volition. Maybe she would just find something a little fitting and throw on, because her mind wasn’t really on it, or maybe she would feign sickness on that day to excuse her from attending.The landline in Christopher’s house rang, and Lily wondered if she should pick or not. It barely ever rang, so she could hardly tell. At the end of the day, Lily decided to ignore it, because she did not want to mess things up for Christopher, just in case she wasn’t supposed to take the call.A few minutes after the landline stopped ringing, Ashley’s p

“Miss Aimee, your attention is required in the boardroom,” Christopher’s new secretary said to Aimee.Aimee had arrived at work in a jolly mood, certain that she had been able to manage every situation to the best of her knowledge. She was not even bothered about Derek, because she knew that he would be so busy fighting to win Trisha’s love back to even think of him.“Such an asshole,” Aimee cussed. “Who the heck falls in love with someone they ought to have killed?” Aimee scoffed.She should have known that Derek was incapable of tasks such as the ones she required of him. Anyway, Aimee was thinking about finding a more capable person that would carry out tasks without questions, delay, or even falling in love, when she got the message.“In the boardroom, right now?” Aimee asked, wanting to be sure if she heard correctly. Since Christopher demoted her without a conscience, she had not been asked to come to the boardroom, knowing that only the senior staff members were allowed in ther
