The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience Chapter 155
DYLANAfter about two hours of shopping and walking around while taking cute selfies, Alena and I walked down a street hand in hand to a restaurant where we had booked a private booth to have dinner.She was telling me about Lynette's birthday traditions. I could tell that even after five years of a rough relationship with her mother, she still loved her dearly and wanted to create a new, strong bond with her. I was more than willing to support her and help her throughout this journey because it wasn't easy. She still had moments of weakness where everything came back to her mind and tormented her.The way she talked so fondly of her mom reminded me of my own. I loved her even to this day. I remembered the day we found out she had months to live up to the day when she passed away. She was happy until her last breath. It felt like yesterday."Dyl, are you listening?" Alena's voice broke me from my thoughts. I had drifted from reality for a few seconds."I'm sorry, my love. Something was

DYLAN"I came to see you, Dyl. It's like I don't know you anymore these days," she said, looking at me quizzically. "Do you even miss me, Dyl? Do you remember any of the love and passion we shared, even for a second?""Gwen, I don't know what's going on with you, but it's not funny. What's up? What're you doing here?""Dyl, answer me first. Do you or do you not miss me, Gwen Carter, your ex-girlfriend?"I sighed and looked at Gwen. "If there's anything at all I miss about you, then it's you who took care of yourself, was happy, and had a lot more positive aspects that affected your life. It's like I don't know you anymore. What have you been doing with your life?""Fucking everything up. I don't even know myself anymore. It's like I look in the mirror and see a different person. I miss you, Dylan.""Should I reply, or you'd rather have my silence?""Don't say a word. You'll probably just make me feel horrible. I've had a rough day already.""Hank?" I asked her, hoping we were finally o

DYLANBut to my utter relief, Alena was standing by the door with an older woman, holding gift bags. She was okay.My sudden arrival caught their attention and both ladies turned their attention to me. I had started panting due to all the drama going on in my head. Alena looked at me, confused at what was going on.The other lady looked at me with a smile on her face, and she nodded in greeting. I returned the polite gesture with a smile.I took three long strides toward Alena, and I hugged her from behind, crossing my arms on her chest. Inhaling her addictive scent, I felt her warmth invade all my senses and every cell of my anatomy, rejuvenating me to life and a harbor of safety where all my sorrows and worries disappeared.Alena seemed to relax in my embrace as she tilted her neck, giving me more access to her smooth neck, where my head was buried."Ms. Garnier, meet my husband, my Dylan." Alena introduced me proudly to the fair lady, whose heart-shaped face was still brightly lit

ALENALove is true when it gives you the freedom to be the perfect reflection of your real self, doing exactly all you've ever wanted to do.I never expected that one day I'd be where I was at the moment, happy and madly in love. I wasn't just in love with my husband, but also with myself and every single second we spent together.I always wished to receive his love and share his home with him as his soulmate, but what he gave me was beyond that. He respected me and supported each and every dream of mine. He stood by me through thick and thin, loving me, supporting me, and giving me advice.Even when we were physically apart, nothing changed regarding our feelings for each other. It was a strong bond with roots deep in my heart. No one could uproot that fruitful tree of our love, not when I was still alive and breathing.Now that we were planning on having our first baby, I only felt closer to him and happy that he had chosen me to carry his children in my womb. Our children. The frui

ALENA"The controversial ones that'd make the public question and judge his loyalty to you and ruin Gwen's career completely."I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "Who would do that to them? Why? Did they ask for money?""It's not about money. They were actually willing to give money so that by tomorrow morning it'll be a famous story in every state in the US and beyond," Ezra explained, disbelief evident in his tone.Personally, I was shocked too. Nothing of that sort had ever happened since I got married to Dyl."So, how'd you find out?""Well, when grace favors you, your enemies will smell victory but never see it. Someone sold them off to us anonymously. It must have been one of the staff members working for the magazine or a well-wisher who knew what was going on."I took a deep sigh of relief, but the relief wasn't there. The fact still stood. Dylan had a big enemy, and he was insanely close to ruining his reputation."You should be rejoicing right now because I have no idea wh

ALENA"Nothing is your fault in this entire situation," Axel said firmly, placing his hand gently on top of mine."I've been having issues with Hank, and I told Dyl. Things haven't been going well between them ever since.""I've realized he's into you. Every time I bump into him on our block or at Gwen's, he sings inappropriate praise of you. I hate the way he calls you, Cora. It totally pisses me off.""Dyl feels worse about it. I hate it when they meet. It's like he does things to piss him off on purpose," I complained, recalling the moments they had met."I don't like him. There's something creepy about him. I was okay with him before I knew he was with Gwen, but ever since they became official, there's just something about his actions that doesn't add up.""He's my first suspect in this issue. I'm trying to put two things together, but it's not adding up. Gwen is his girlfriend, and it seems they love each other. Why would he suddenly want to ruin her career just like that? We bot

ALENAAs we went up to Axel's apartment, I messaged Ezra to hear of any progress. He wasn't available at the moment. I also called Martha to call me when Dyl got home.I tried calling Dylan only twice, and the call was forwarded straight to voicemail. I just wish I had been with him when it happened. Maybe that way I'd be feeling better, knowing he knew I was there for him.We got to Axel's apartment in five minutes. He left me in the lounge and proceeded to the kitchen to prepare a quick meal. He was always caring and sweet to me. I adored him for his gentle and loving personality.While waiting for him, I flicked through the channels on the TV, with my main attention on the news channels. I just wanted to check if there was anything at all shocking that had flooded the internet yet regarding Dylan.It was quite a relief to see that there was nothing of that sort yet, and hopefully there wouldn't be any.I stood up to stretch my legs with my phone in my hand. I didn't want to miss an

ALENAI didn't spend much time at Axel's after I received Dyl's message. I thought it'd rather be better for me to wait for him at home and welcome him warmly than have him look for me after such a long day.Axel had offered to drop me off, but I thought it'd be inappropriate to drag him along with me, leaving Gwen all by herself in his apartment. I called my chauffeur instead, who picked me up half an hour later after being delayed in traffic.Axel had packed some assorted cookies for Dyl and me in a red snowflake cookie tin. Gwen had confirmed they were delicious since she had already munched on some. I wanted to have them with my husband and enjoy them with him. There were some of his favorites in the tin.When I got home, I met Elizabeth first in the main lounge, holding a tray with a jar of water and a water glass. She was coming from upstairs, and she looked disturbed."Thank God you're finally here, Alena. Is everything okay? Did something happen to Dylan?" Elizabeth asked me w

ALENA’S EPILOGUE Our black SUV pulled up in Mom's driveway a little late in the afternoon and we all got out of the car. Amelia was snuggled in her daddy's arms, a place I knew was one of her favourites in the whole world and the way he paid enough attention to her and kept her smiling just made their bond stronger.Aidan and Iris were on either of my sides each holding each of my hands tightly as we walked up the driveway to the main entrance. We had all been looking forward to this family gathering for some time now. Spending time together, catching up on each other's lives and just being there for each other was something we all enjoyed. We were a family and meeting up together like this was always a pleasure."Thank you so much, Mommy, for buying me these pretty sparkly shoes and sparkly dress," Iris squealed excitedly, jumping up and down on her feet as we walked, staring admirably at her new outfit. "I feel like a princess," she added, giving me a brilliant smile that revealed

FIVE YEARS LATERDYLAN’S EPILOGUEThey say that you will never truly understand something until it happens to you.I honestly never paid much attention to this saying until realistic things happening in my own life started weighing much on it and opening my eyes to how everything I was once told about this big mystery called life started unfolding before my own eyes and manifesting in my life.Many a time, Dad would tell me about how marriage and fatherhood changed his life greatly for the better and it barely made any meaningful sense to me, but right now in this very moment, bonding with my baby and showering her with unconditional love made it all make perfect sense.There was something inexplicably intoxicating about seeing our precious bundle of joy happy with a radiant smile on her face. That smile had to be the prettiest thing I had ever seen, for it extended deep into my soul and filled me with joy. I couldn't resist smiling back at her with an even brighter smile, placing the

ALENADylan twirled me around, dipping me as he leaned forward closer to me. Staring at the masterpiece of a husband before me, my breathing became shallow and my heart felt heavy in my chest.Dylan pulled me back up into his arms and I rested my head on his chest and let him sway my body as the chorus rolled in. The song twirled like thread around us, the rhythm of our bodies simply passionate and majestic. I was deep in love."Alena, you're the inspiration for this precious song, and I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on. So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone. And I can't wait to get you home, just to let you know, you are...""The love of my life," we whispered together in unison as I joined him in saying some of the lyrics along to the song playing.I was crying. He was way too sweet. I never imagined he'd be able to love me this much and take our relationship to a whole new level.Couples eventually started joining us on the dancefloor. I looked

ALENADylan pulled me towards him gently but firmly by my waist and he placed his lips firmly on mine, cupping my cheek with his hand.His lips were soft, almost silken against my own. Our lips fitted perfectly as if they were meant for each other. Moving against each other, feeling each other.Warmth blossomed in my chest, sparks igniting. This was beautiful and magical, a dream come true. When we pulled away from each other, the crowd was cheering loudly for us, clapping and everything.We both chuckled, holding hands tightly. We turned and faced everyone. Their cheers grew even louder and more enthusiastic.I could see Mom sitting in front with Benjamin, Steve and Celeste. Ezra was in front on the other side with Axel, Sophie and Elizabeth. Everyone else followed behind them. They all looked happy for us.Dylan and I stepped down from the wedding altar and we proceeded down the aisle. Everyone rose and started throwing confetti at us as we walked out. It was perfect.I looked up at

ALENA"Of course, I will. When can we start making the preparations?"Dylan laughed, pinching my nose. "Silly, I mean today. Everything is already set. You just have to get ready and walk down the aisle.""You're kidding right?""I'm dead serious, honey. Everything's the way you wanted it and mostly your choice. I know this isn't our first wedding, but I want us to consider this our actual wedding because the previous wasn't even one. This time around, I'm marrying you willingly with pride."I laughed, failing to believe this. "How? I can't believe this.""Believe it, baby. We're getting married and this time around the proper way. I've been so excited to finally take you as my wife the proper way and give you the joy you deserve. I want to marry you, Alena.""Dylan, how did you even think of this? Just how?" I asked him, blinking away my tears.He wiped away my tears with his hands. "Because I want to see you happy and make your dreams come true. It's called love, honey. You've drown

ALENADylan opened the door of his car on my side and I stepped out, taking his hand which he had extended politely towards me to help me out. I murmured a polite thank you with a smile on my face as he helped out and closed the door once I was standing next to him.We linked arms and he gave me a small peck on my forehead before we started walking down the pathway that led to the dock of a beautiful lake.There were bright heart shaped lanterns hanging on tree branches and rose petals artistically scattered on the pathway we were walking on. Star shaped twinkle lights were wound around branches and lining the pathway. It was breathtakingly beautiful.It was a beautiful sunset and it felt extraordinarily magical with the water in the lake glimmering beneath the beautiful sky, looking calm and inviting.I had no idea if it was the beautiful weather and scene that added the special magical effect or if it was the exceptional man right next to me, holding me like his entire life depended

DYLANI loved it when she played dirty. I loved seeing that side of her that only I knew. I loved this state where she was raw, untamed and fierce sexy."Naughty girl," I chuckled, smacking her butt firmly. She winced, her lips cracking into a wider smile."If I am naughty, what are you?" she purred, pressing her body firmly into mine. She bit her bottom lip tenderly, looking at me with lust filled eyes."Your sexy husband who loves bringing the naughtiness out of you." I smacked Alena's butt one more time, pressing her body into mine at the same time."Ah," she moaned, throwing her head back. She loved it.I took my spoon and scooped some ice cream onto it. I trailed the spoon from her earlobe down to her throat. She shivered, looking at my hand. "Cold," she breathed."I'll set you on fire," I promised and with those words, I smashed my lips onto her neck, earning a loud moan from her.I held her firmly close to me by her butt as I attacked her neck with deep kisses, soft nibbles and

DYLANShe took her wine glass from me and looked up at me, taking a step closer. "Careful what you wish for, Princess. I want to, I can and I will eat you," I said, closing the small gap between us."Is that a promise?" she asked me, running her finger slowly down my torso. I had been working out a lot to get back in shape. All my hard work hadn't gone to waste."It is," I affirmed, brushing my lips against her smooth skin. "And you know I never break my promises."Alena stood on her toes and she pecked my lips. She held both of our glasses, looking deep into my eyes with her bottom lip between her white teeth. I poured the wine and took my glass from her."What are we toasting to?" she asked me."To us. To our lives, love, freedom and everything we ever wanted that we can proudly say we achieved.""Cheers to that," she said, raising her glass."Cheers." We clicked our glasses and washed down the red wine together in one go. We had a second round and we drank the wine in the same mann

DYLAN"No," she mumbled quietly. She was crying."Show me your face. I want to look at you," I spoke softly."Do I have to?" she replied quietly. She sounded cute and in my head, I could see a cute pout on her lips as she said so. That made me smile."Yes. You have to," I murmured, kissing her temples. Alena slowly pulled away from me and she sat up, facing me. She had tears in her eyes and a few had fallen down her cheeks. I wiped them away using my thumbs."And why is my beautiful princess crying when we're supposed to be celebrating?" I asked her, taking both of her warm hands into mine. I planted sweet kisses on both of them and looked up at her. "I don't know," she mumbled, looking at our hands. "Tears of relief if there's anything of that sort I guess.""You don't have to hide your feelings from me, you know. It's okay to cry if you feel like it. We all express joy and relief in different ways.""Does that mean I can bawl my eyes out and you'll still be okay with it?""Hmmm...
