The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience Chapter 209
ALENADoing yoga and exercising as often as I could had become my personal escape from the world to help relieve the stress that built up in my system everyday and to get some sort of distraction from my extremely busy and stressful life.This particular Sunday had been one of the days when I worked out the most and spent more time in the gym at home. I needed to distract myself from the disturbing fact that it was officially three weeks without the man my heart desired. Three good weeks of him being confined to a hospital bed without moving and they didn't even know when he'd wake up. Heck, they didn't even know if he'd ever wake up.I just had to keep on going and holding on to the little strength and faith within me. I had to listen to the little voice in my heart, whispered softly that everything was going to be okay. I had no idea what it was, but something was holding me together and pushing me to keep on fighting for both my love and I.I was disturbed by Harry knocking on the

ALENAIt was right at this spot where we had made love for the last time before his accident. I remembered that day so perfectly well. His memories were imprinted into my heart. I missed every bit of his sensual touch, his delicious kisses and the ecstasy of his smooth skin pressed to mine as he took me to a completely different planet over and over again.I missed every bit of him more than he could ever imagine. The pain and loneliness I felt was something no one could ever understand. I missed how we pampered each other, loved each other and just existed next to each other in our own world beyond all our imperfections.I understood that in life, everything happened for a reason, but I wished I knew the reason why this was happening to me. I got tired of asking the reason why over and again and got to a point where I let the silence consume me completely.We were supposed to fight together and be there for each other always. Life was unfair. I didn't know what destiny had planned fo

ALENA"You managed to fix yourself even after all the shit you went through. You marched all the way to the top and look at you now. You're living a perfect life any woman would ever dream of having."I chuckled, shaking my head. "My life's far from perfect, Gwen. I do have my own problems that I have to deal with. I just don't go around showing everyone that there's something wrong with me or begging for everyone's sympathy with my actions like I used to because really, no one cares about your problems most of the time. I realised that a little later in life. I matured up and allowed personal growth in my life. I'm not perfect and my life's not perfect. I just try my best to be who I want to be and to live the life I want to live. You can do the same.""It's easier said than done. I don't have the strength in me to fix the hole in my heart. I don't know how you worked so amazingly on yourself, but I don't think that I can do it. I can't ever be who I used to be.""It always seems imp

ALENA"He dated you or he went straight into your pants?" I asked her lightly, trying to make her comfortable and lighten the mood.Sophie laughed, looking at me. "Well, both in a way. I met him on a vacation in the Bahamas. I had just broken up with my boyfriend because we both realised it just wasn't there. Liam was a delicious and adventurous summer fling. With him, it was instant. He set me on fire. He gave me what no one else had ever given me. He gave me a taste of pure bliss and showed me delicious pleasures I never knew existed. It wasn't just all sex. He was also very sweet and he was a gentleman to me.""Hmmm...." I hummed teasingly, making her blush a little."Summer was over before I knew it and I came back to New York. I realised he was from here as well, something he hadn't told me. No matter how sweet he seemed to me, nobody liked him. Not even Axel who usually supported my decisions even if it meant going against everyone. He said he just didn't like him and something

ALENABeing away from home for a couple of days was something I knew would come up at some point for someone who had a leadership role at a company like ours. I had tried to avoid it and let someone fill in for me in the past three weeks so that I'd be able to stay close to Dylan in case of an emergency, but this time around, I had no way out.I was in the countryside of New Jersey, roughly three hours away from home. A team of company representatives and I were running a charity programme where we were making donations to the health sector, providing essential services for free, giving out groceries and serving food for free.It was a two day programme and we had managed to make it for the first day without any serious problems. I took part in all the activities and monitored if everything was going according to plan as well. It was a good exposure and an opportunity to get to know and understand the lives of other people and note ways in which we could help improve certain areas tha

ALENAI walked closer to it and peeked through the curtain, but with all the mist, it was impossible to see anything. All I could see were two beams of a car's lights and I could hear incoherent voices of people arguing. The wind hindered me from hearing any sort of clear sounds."Who's there? Can you see anything?" Val asked me, getting up from bed."No," I replied, turning away from the window. "It's too misty, but someone's here and there's an argument going on," I replied as I looked around the room for any sort of escape point just in case there was danger. We were completely stranded in this room. The windows had burglar bars and there was only one door that led to the lounge.I walked to the door and locked it immediately. That was the only thing I could think of at the moment. I was too nervous to walk out and check what was going on. I couldn't run out either because I'd be running straight to whoever had arrived.I walked back to the sofa and sat down, grabbing my leather ha

ALENAI looked at my bodyguard and he took the gun from the table.I noticed Gwen looking at me with eyes full of tears. She was wearing a sleeveless top that revealed her arms. They had fresh bruises on them. She stood up and shook her arm out of Hank's grip forcefully. She walked over to me and sat next to me."He ran away from the hospital and forced me to take him here to you at gunpoint. I'm sorry," she whispered.Hank scoffed. "So you work for her now, huh, Gwen? You're betraying me for the same people you've been working against?""I'm not working for anyone. I've never worked against them on my own accord. I'm not betraying you. I'm giving myself the freedom I deserve," Gwen spoke, blinking away her tears.Hank laughed bitterly. "You've always been a backstabber, bitch," he accused sharply."May I know what all of this is about? What exactly are you doing here? I'm a busy person and...""Yeah yeah. Whatever. Let's see how much of a busy person you'll become once you hear this

ALENA"What exactly are you talking about? As far as I'm concerned, I've only given you love, respect and everything a man can ever ask for in a woman. I try, Hank. I fucking try, but you treated me like trash," Gwen argued.At this point, I was clearly invisible to both parties. They were heated in the moment and if they continued like this, this was the part when the truth came to light and I didn't even have to move a muscle. I was simply in the background watching and listening.I knew anything could happen. It was possible that Liam would walk in out of nowhere and shoot us all dead or do something to kill us, but there was nothing I could do at the moment. Leaving this place was the only option I had, but it was more dangerous not only because of the extreme weather, but also because getting murdered out there would be quite easy.My only prayer was that he wouldn't show up. I prayed he was rather fleeing to another state or country. I was at a major disadvantage because of the

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...
