The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience Chapter 189
ALENAMom gave me another peck on my forehead. "Anytime, baby. Let me get you something for your migraine while you call Dyl. I'm sure he's going to jump with joy when your name pops up on his screen," Mom said with a contagious chuckle. I chuckled lightly, imagining his reaction from Mom's perspective.He was the type to pick up on the first ring. I wanted to be prepared before calling him. He'd definitely think of me as a crazy woman. I had left him a few hours ago and now I was running back to him already.It was a fact that I couldn't stay away from him for long. I was so used to being by his side that being without him felt wrong and it felt like I wasn't in the right place.I felt angry at both of us for various reasons. I definitely didn't want to fight with Dylan like that, but I couldn't control myself either. I lost control totally and I felt like it was maybe too much and kinda over the top.I took my phone from my purse and dialled his number. I took a deep breath as it st

ALENAFrom the second I heard those words going forward, I was shaking and stuttering incoherent words as Mom changed into something appropriate and drove us to the hospital where they had taken him.I couldn't believe it. I was in a state of inexplicable denial and shock. My tears were stuck in my eyes. I couldn't shed them because of the confusion in my mind and the denial I was in.I didn't know how to react or how to express myself. I had to see it for myself first because I couldn't believe it. He wouldn't do that to me, right? He'd never let anything happen to me and leave me all alone.He knew I couldn't live without him. His life wasn't just his, but mine as well. He was my heartbeat. Yes, I loved him that much. Leaving me meant he was snatching away my heart, ripping it out of my chest ruthlessly and taking it with him. No, he'd never put me through so much pain."Alena, are you listening to what I'm saying? You have to be strong, honey. I know how this feels, trust me, but y

ALENAI woke up with an excruciatingly painful migraine, throbbing around my red and puffy eyes that stung like never before. Even stretching myself was painful, and it strained my sore muscles as I tried to sit up.I knew where I was perfectly well and what I was doing there. How could I forget when it had given me massive heartbreak and even followed me in my dreams to creep me out and haunt me?I was disturbingly shaken, agonized, and scared of what the future held for me. Was my fate that bad that I had to be my husband's widow before we had even been in marriage for a year and before producing our offspring?At least when I woke up, Mom was by my side, holding my hand with tears in her eyes. She was supporting me, giving me all her love and attention. She helped me sit up and stretch my sore muscles a bit. She was the most supportive person at this moment.There was a nurse in there as well, asking me a few questions softly and giving me some bitter-tasting liquids and pills. I a

ALENA"He is still the most handsome man I've ever met and the one my heart belongs to," I murmured, closing my eyes and letting my tears flow down my cheeks. I held his hand close to my chest as I covered it with tender kisses.I heard Benjamin sigh helplessly, and then he finally spoke. "Everyone's giving up on him already. They don't believe he'll make it. They're just telling me to prepare for the worst.""You don't have to listen to what anyone else is saying. Listen to me, your daughter. He's going to make it. I know him," I said, opening my eyes. I wish I could look into his eyes at this moment and promise him he'd be okay."Please don't leave Dyl and me during this period. I'm begging you, Alena," Benjamin begged me, pretty much to my surprise.I kissed Dylan's hand, then let go of it, gently placing it on the bed. I stood up, wiping away my tears with my hands, and I walked over to Benjamin. I sat in a chair next to him and put my hand on top of his."Dad," I whispered softly

ALENAThe idea that this was a planned conspiracy to murder Dylan in cold blood didn't surprise me. The bastard who hated my husband so much was obvious, and the fact that he had managed to poison my brain with his ideas to make Dylan and I fight made me scream at myself for being a stupid fool. "Dad, I'm so sorry you had to experience all that. I never thought some people could be so cold-bloodedly cruel and sick in the head over stupid and meaningless things. I can't believe he wanted Dylan dead after all the bullshit he has put us through already. What exactly is wrong with this monster? What does he want from us?" I spoke bitterly.Everything makes sense now. He and whoever the other heartless freaks on his team were had the divide and conquer strategy in mind. They knew we were stronger together and weaker apart.They had managed to trap him and corner him to the point where his life was hanging on the edge, and I wasn't with him. I was all alone. All along, he had been my guard

ALENAI even gave him as many reasons as I could so that he'd let me help on the case until he agreed to it.He gave me the power to be in charge while he was away and to make important decisions as well. He trusted me a lot. I didn't want to let him down. I didn't know if I could do this and succeed before any harm befell me, but I was willing to give it a shot.With everything happening, I just felt like I deserved answers and to end this madness once and for all. It was high time we were happy without anyone threatening our peace. I had to fight for our love, no matter how terrible the consequences would be."Remember that we're a team, Alena. You keep me updated on every move you make, and I'll do the same. It's best we are both there tomorrow when we have a meeting with the other parties helping us on this case to avoid confusion.""I'll be there. You just have to inform me of where and when.""I have to leave the hospital for the time being and make arrangements for the payments

ALENAI took long strides determinedly towards Gwen and I grabbed her by her right arm, spinning her around roughly to face me in the process. "And what exactly do you think you're doing here, Gwen Carter?" I asked her sharply, holding her roughly by her arm.The fear and terror in her eyes was exactly what I wanted to see. It told me she clearly didn't want anyone to see her or blow her cover. It also confirmed my suspicions. She was here for something which required her to be undercover.She looked at me with fear in her eyes, her chest heaving and tried to break free from my grip, but I wasn't having it. I held her even tighter and used my free hand to remove the wig she was wearing, throwing it roughly onto the ground."What now, Gwen? Cat caught your tongue? What are you doing here? Did they send you to finish what you guys started? Is that it? Are you here to finish up murdering my husband in cold blood?" I seethed.Gwen looked up at me as tears formed in her eyes. She had dark

ALENAWith those words, Gwen picked up her wig and walked away briskly as she put it on her head. I looked at her as she walked away, looking around like a criminal on the run. I needed to talk to her somewhere appropriate and demand answers until I had a lead on this case."Are you okay, Mrs. Cameron? We should head back to your room. Please, I'll get into trouble. You're not doing well and you need to lie down," the nurse advised me, holding me gently by my arm. "They are still examining your husband and you can't see him at the moment," she informed me."Is everything okay with him? Is there any news yet?" I asked her worriedly, turning to face her.She shook her head no with a face reflecting sympathy. "There's no news on his condition yet."I looked at the room metres away from where I was standing with tears forming in my eyes. He was in there battling for his life. All I wanted was my baby back. I couldn't think about the beautiful relationship we shared without also thinking o

The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience Chapter 238
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...
