The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience Chapter 195
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

ALENA"Yes, ma'am. Everything should be in place in at most an hour. I'm sincerely sorry for any inconvenience caused so far. We'll be more alert from now onwards and follow all your orders as they are."I nodded, trusting his word. "Don't let me down. Give me details on what happened. When did he leave the house? Why and where was he going? Was he alone in the car or he had a chauffeur or bodyguard?" I asked him, interested in following the story without missing any facts."He left roughly half an hour after you left to go and meet Hank Alexander. He asked me for his address and I gave it to him today in the morning. He was alone. He refused to let anyone come with him. He had the accident on his way back home.""Find out what happened when they met.""We've already found some information. They argued and fought. We don't have details on what the fight was about, but it was about you. When Sir left, he was upset and he crashed fifteen minutes later on the highway."Everything was ups

ALENAThe next couple of days after that weren't easy at all. Things simply got tougher and tougher by the day as I assumed new roles and positions and had to handle my own health and emotions so as not to break down.I conducted my very first board meeting, leading many board members and meetings in other departments. I was normally just a member making contributions here and there, but now I had to bring everyone's ideas together and choose what to work with.I had to make big decisions for the company that Dylan usually made with guidance from Benjamin. It wasn't easy and I was trying to get my head around everything. Everyone had to get used to a little bit of change and they were cooperating with me, pretty much to my advantage.I had both long days and long sleepless nights, trying to keep up with the workload and keeping myself sane. Dylan's health was still on the rocks. He wasn't showing any sign of change or hope that he'd wake up anytime soon.I wasn't giving up on him stil

ALENAIf there was anything I ever got to learn from Hank and understood perfectly well, then it was that violence was in his nature. Grabbing me roughly and pushing me around seemed to be something he enjoyed with his gun as his biggest advantage against me, otherwise I'd have tried fighting back.He pulled me up from the ground by my hair which was ponytailed and pushed me over to the other side of the desk, shoving me into the leather swivel chair. I winced in pain as my butt made contact with the chair with such great impact.I held onto the armrests and looked up at Hank who leaned his back against the desk with the sleeves of his black hoodie rolled up and the gun in his hand, aiming it directly at me. My heart somersaulted. The thought of dying from a gunshot wound was always terrifying to me. It made me tremble at the thought of being shot."Why do you have to make me so furious, Alena? Why do I have to change all the fucking plans simply because you want to act smart and be t

ALENAI clenched my fist tightly and punched him so hard in the face that I felt pain as well. He dared to say such painful words in my face. "Fuck you, Hank!" I cursed, my breath ragged from the anger boiling within me. How could he be so cold?Hank gave me a hard resounding slap using the back of his hand that made me fall back into the chair, my face throbbing painfully as tears involuntarily escaped from my eyes. He used both of his hands to squeeze my throat, strangling me."I'm very much capable of murder, Cora, so show me some respect. Get the fact that your husband is going to die straight into your brain no matter how much it hurts. Hire the entire security of this country, but he'll still face his fate and it is death. And hell yeah, you are going to fuck me, Princess."Hank's long skinny fingers felt like tendrils on my neck as he squeezed hard, his eyes void of any emotion of sympathy or remorse. They were clouded by fury and bitterness. "I was going to make this easy for

ALENAHe continued staggering towards me with a smile of mockery on his face. What was he planning on doing? Snatch it away and kill me?"I said stop!" I burst out hysterically."Well, go ahead and shoot me. Nothing will stop me today, Cora," he boasted. He was getting closer and closer and my heart was beating faster and faster as well. I had to do this, otherwise I'd end up being the one dead. I had to do this out of self defense. I knew it'd haunt me for life, but I had to do it.I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger, expecting the gun to go off. Instead of hearing the gun go off, I heard laughter. Mocking laughter.I opened my eyes, purely confused. I hadn't shot him and the gun hadn't gone off either. I pulled the trigger over and over again, but realised the gun wasn't going off. I looked at Hank with confusion and shock in my eyes."It's empty. I wouldn't be stupid enough to have put it away in the first place if it were loaded. You're not the only one who hates guns, Princes

ALENAI didn't spend much time bidding the manager farewell with a fake smile plastered on my face and I proceeded out. He had kindly asked me if everything was okay since I had taken time in their stockroom and my bodyguards had come in all of a sudden, but I brushed it off as a small problem that didn't need any concern.The ride to the hospital was silent. I got there in fifteen minutes and my bodyguards walked me to Dylan's room. Harry was working here at the moment so I didn't have much fear because he was very alert and efficient. I briefed him on what had happened and asked him to make sure everything was done properly. I trusted him.I went straight to Dylan's room, hoping no one was visiting him at the moment because these days Ezra and Benjamin visited him often and whenever Axel wasn't on duty, he'd be there too. I was lucky enough to find him with only a nurse who was already done with her routine check up on him.I asked for privacy and everyone left us alone and they swi

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...
