The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife Chapter 41
"Sir Karious, the conference was—" I heard a loud gasp followed by the sound of a closing door.Gently pulling my lips away from Karious, I couldn't help but smirk as I noticed the smudge of my lipstick that had transferred to him. "Oops," I muttered playfully, using my fingers to wipe it away.Straightening myself up, I took a moment to fix my hair before walking purposefully towards Karious' desk. Standing in front of him, I adopted a formal demeanor and addressed him respectfully. "If you'll excuse me, sir, I'll take a short break. I'll be back shortly." With a polite bow, I left his office without glancing back.I caught up with Miles, who was engrossed in her computer. Our eyes met, and I winked at her, knowing that I didn't need to explain what she might have seen. I cared little about what others might think, and in fact, I would be even happier if Miles reported the incident to Kassandra, or rather Veronica.Instead of leaving the office, I decided to head to the pantry and g

20 minutes.I'd never waited so long in the lobby. Right now, I'm sipping my coffee and enjoying a slice of cake.When the private elevator opened, I adjusted my seat. My jaw dropped when I saw her. She still looks like me, the way I used to style myself in the past.She walked out proudly, with some of her bodyguards following. She was all smiles, but I knew her smile hid her wickedness. She must have been thrilled, thinking she had successfully stolen my whole being.I quickly stood up and walked towards her, holding my coffee. I pretended to be engrossed in my phone until I bumped into a blocking bodyguard. I deliberately spilled coffee on Veronica's dress. Too bad, my coffee wasn't very hot anymore. It must be satisfaction to see her skin burn."Oh my goodness!" Veronica screamed."Oops! I’m sorry!" I feigned surprise. The bodyguard nudged me aside, and I stumbled backward, pretending to fall.Now, I'm on the floor, hunched over, with my hair covering my face."What the heck? Can'

" Ma'am Kassandra, just a moment—"The door unexpectedly swung open as I stood in the office. I had anticipated Karious not coming to work, possibly to discuss matters concerning their son with Yasmin. However, the sight of Veronica in the office was a surprised. Her presence was suggesting as if she was ready to reprimand me for any wrongdoing that caught me off guard.Veronica's voice was filled with anger as she addressed Miles, "Why are you stopping me? I'm your boss' wife! You have no right to treat me like this!"Miles responded with a respectful bow, "I apologize, ma'am. Sir Karious didn't inform us that you would be temporarily taking over—"Veronica cut her off. "And so? I'm his wife. Even without his notice, I also have the right to oversee my business. Don't interfere with me if you want to keep your job," Her stern gaze then shifted to me.I quickly bowed and introduced myself, "Good morning, ma'am. By the way, I'm—""My husband's bitch. I'm aware."To my surprise, she abr

"Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me again, Yasmin. I know you're currently spending time with your son, and I genuinely appreciate this meeting," I expressed my gratitude sincerely.I took a seat across from her and promptly signaled a waiter. "This one's on me. Please, don't hesitate to order whatever you like," I assured her."Um, now that you're not... I mean, how should I address you?" she inquired, struggling with her words and glancing around nervously.I understand Yasmin's hesitation to say my name in a public setting, especially since we were about to discuss a delicate matter. I realized I should have reserved a private room for our conversation.Surveying the restaurant, I recalled hearing that it had private rooms for such occasions. I quickly stopped a passing waiter. "Excuse me! Is there a private room available? Can we move there?""Yes, ma'am. There's one just becoming vacant," he replied, much to my relief.Yasmin and I relocated to the empty room, and our

"Where did you go?" I lifted my head from my laptop upon hearing Karious' voice."Sir Karious," I replied innocently as he approached my table.I reclined in my chair to get a better view of him. He folded his arms and fixed a penetrating gaze on my eyes. A smile played on my lips as we locked eyes. I wondered what kind of excuses Yasmin had given him."Where were you and who were you with?" he repeated his question."I just had a meal outside, Sir Karious. I bid goodbye to Miles. Didn't she inform you?" I arched my brow, though I knew Miles had probably spilled the beans. I just needed a few excuses."She did, but you didn't mention where you would go."I absentmindedly scratched my eyebrow. "Is that really important, Sir? I simply dined out. Must I inform you every detail of my activities?" My eyes rolled, and I averted my gaze. I know that I always seduced him and yes, he flirted back. But we don’t have a relationship. I don’t have to tell him everything I do.His frown deepened at

"I'll take you home," Karious insisted, getting into the car and sitting next to me, signaling his driver to depart."Don’t bother. I still have some work left at the office," I replied."It's more important that I take you home immediately," he insisted."It's only 1 p.m., and I won't be doing much at my condo either," I explained.As we drove back to the office, I couldn't help but reflect on recent events. It dawned on me that strange occurrences had started happening around me since Veronica had seen me. And now that I had informed Yasmin of the truth about her son, why didn’t it occur to me that Veronica might have found out too. And it is no longer difficult to piece together the events. Besides Veronica, she knows that I know that fact too.Looks like Veronica was already doing something…behind my back.We arrived back at the office, and I was about to open the door, but it was already opened by someone outside. Two men dressed in black greeted us and simultaneously bowed.Kari

When I arrived at work, it was immediately apparent that something had captured the attention of the employees. It seemed that a significant event had occurred that day, and it was the topic of conversation among everyone. People I encountered were constantly whispering and talking to each other in hushed tones.I made my way to the elevator, where a crowd of employees was waiting, engaged in discussions about the latest happenings."What do you think that girl did? I don't know if it's true or just a rumor, but if it is, it goes to show that you never really know someone's true nature, even if you're friends," a woman in front of me whispered to her companion.The person next to her shook his head. Even those not actively participating in the conversation were clearly eavesdropping on the gossip.The elevator doors opened, and we all stepped inside together. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded, and we all fit comfortably. When I reached my office, Miles greeted me with a friendly smile, s

Wenzell and I entered the executive lounge of a hotel together. I wasn't a member of this exclusive club, but thanks to Wenzell's VIP status, I was able to gain access. I needed to be here because I had learned that rich and influential people frequented this place. It offered amenities and privileges reserved for the wealthy. It wasn't that I couldn't afford such luxuries, but as Empress Chan, I was maintaining a different persona. I was pretending to be Venice's cousin, not my true self, Kassandra. Since Venice wasn't available at the moment, Wenzell had become my frequent companion in my escapades and private investigations. "Now that we're always seen together, you have to take responsibility. You have to hold me accountable," Wenzell said once we were inside the lounge, and people's attention turned towards us. The rest start whispering with each other about our arrival. We were both dressed in formal attire—me in an evening dress and Wenzell in a three-piece suit. Waiters mo

The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife Special Chapter 2
During the months that I hadn't seen Kassandra, I felt like I was slowly losing my sanity. All the fear I experienced when I learned about the accident she had faced had me on edge. Not finding her body in the burning car gave me a glimmer of hope that she might still be alive. Veronica revealed that the woman in the car was her. She pretended to be Kassandra. This was one of the reasons we hesitated to expose her deception, as we suspected she might be holding Kassandra captive. However, as I tracked and observed her, I realized that even she was searching for Kassandra. I hadn't thought her to be that cunning. She had succeeded in tarnishing Kassandra's reputation, and when the truth came out that she had done nothing, she stole Kassandra's identity. I informed Kassandra's father that the girl we had been with was an impostor. To my surprise, he was already aware because Kassandra had left behind the results of a DNA test and some evidence in his office. Together, we devised a pl

Zackarious "Where is she now?" I asked over the phone. "I found her entering a bar, sir. She's now on the dance floor, dancing," said my investigator. My jaw dropped when I heard it. And finally! my ex-wife, Veronica, also showed up. I've been searching for her for weeks now because I intend to make her pay for what she did to our son. Stealing money from my company? I can forgive that, but harming my child? I can't overlook that. She cheated on me several times and left us for another man. I admit that I was preoccupied with work, but I made every effort to cater to all her desires. I can't believe she would betray me like this. I married her when I learned that I had impregnated her. I've had past relationships with women, and accidentally impregnating someone is something I cannot turn my back. So, even though I didn't have strong feelings for Veronica, I married her. We were together for years, and even though our family wasn't perfect, I made sure that we stayed together and

This is the last chapter of the story. The next chapter would be special chapters under Zackarious point of view....I woke up lying in a hospital bed, the world slowly coming back into my senses. The voices of people talking around me filled the room."I want that woman and all her accomplices to rot in hell!""They definitely will, sir. The case filed against them is layer by layer. We also have lots of evidence, so we can definitely win the case."I gradually opened my eyes, greeted by the sight of a white ceiling. The voices drew closer."She's awake!" someone exclaimed. Footsteps approached, and soon after, I saw my dad being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse. Tears welled up in his eyes as he tightly held my hand."My child, I’m sorry! It's my fault why this happened to you. If only I had listened to you from the beginning, you wouldn't have suffered like this!" he cried.A smile broke across my face, though my eyes brimmed with tears. I hadn't seen my father in a long time, an

WARNING: This chapter contains violence not suitable for young readers. This is a work of fiction but still, you may find the scenes distressing enough so I highly encourage everyone to stop reading if underage. Thank you.I tightly shut my eyes, tears streaming down my cheeks. The regrets of yesterday flooded my mind. There were moments when I had complained about the life I lived, not realizing that someone like Veronica had been working tirelessly to take my place. Memories of my mother's final moments rushed back to me. She had expressed her happiness at my birth, despite being abandoned by those she thought would protect her. She had told me that I was her only treasure, her one hope in a world that seemed determined to see her fail.I could barely recall her voice, but her scent and her warm embrace were etched deep within my memory. Though our time together had been short and devoid of many happy moments, I knew she had always been by my side, silently guiding me. I had harbore

"You know how fortunate you are, Kassandra, because you have parents. Everything you desire is handed to you on a silver platter. You've never had to wander the streets, yearning that you should have never been born. You know what's ironic? I even liked your father, despite knowing that his promises to hand me the company were empty threats for you. I knew he was just trying to intimidate you. I suspect he's aware that I'm not truly his daughter. But you know what made me happy? He accepted me, even though he knew I wasn't his daughter. But what have you done, Kassandra? You've only hurt your father, rebelled against him. If you talk back to him, it's as if he's not your parent. You should be in my shoes, because you don't deserve all the privileges you have," Veronica sneered.I shot her a venomous glare."And you know what? When he found out I had an accident and supposedly died? He hardly seemed to care. He even appeared to breathe a sigh of relief because, instead of you, it was m
The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife Chapter 52
Instead of heading straight to Dad's place, I made my way back to my condominium. I stood in dumbfounded silence, staring at my own reflection in the elevator. I knew what lay ahead if I followed Veronica's wants. No matter how many times such choices were presented to me, my resolve to obey for Rious' safety remained unshaken. He was the most important, and I cared little for what Veronica might inflict upon me. I just wanted Rious to be safe.Acting swiftly, I changed into pants so I could move more easily to escape, packed essential items into a small backpack, and tried to come up with a plan, although my nervousness about Veronica's intentions enter me. Regardless, I had to go through with it. If it was true that she could predict my actions, I had to catch her off guard.I stashed money, knives, water, and crackers in my bag. There was still ample time until the scheduled meeting, so I had time to strategize how to be ahead of Veronica.She claimed to know when I reported anythi

I woke up the next day and I found myself alone in bed. I was naked when I peeked under the blanket. I couldn’t see Karious in the room. He doesn’t seem to be in the bathroom either because I don’t hear any noise from there.I stood up and quickly entered the bathroom to take a shower. I smiled as I observed several red marks that were scattered in different parts of my body. I feel sore but satisfied. I also feel glowing. I just woke up, but my face and hair seem healthy. I bit my lip as I remembered what happened last night.That was actually the best! I came so many times I lost count! I would love to do it again this morning if I ever found Karious lying beside me but unfortunately, I woke up alone. I wonder where Karious is now.I hurriedly entered the shower, aware that I had lost track of time lost in reverie about the previous night's escapades. As I stepped into the walk-in closet, my expectations were already set: I wouldn't find any of my clothes. To my astonishment, howeve

As we stepped into the elevator of Karious' condo building, an irresistible urge took hold of us, and we found ourselves unable to resist the pull of each other's lips. We descended to the parking lot, our hands still intertwined. A tangible symbol of anticipation filled the air. Thoughts of what awaited us in his condo stirred a mixture of excitement and nervousness within me. This was the first time our relationship would progress to such an intimate level without the influence of alcohol and I'm gonna make sure that I will not forget this tomorrow. As we walked hand in hand, lost in each other's presence, we barely registered the curious glances and hushed whispers of the employees around us. They can’t do anything anyway but watch. They can’t oppose us either because it’s our life. I doubt that they have any idea what is happening. When we reached our car, it was a good thing that Karious drove because if we had a driver, we might have done something inside. I might go home with
The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife Chapter 49
I halted just before entering the office, and there stood Karious, leaning against my desk. I had intended to greet him with a smile, but the intensity of his gaze made it seem as though he wanted to tear me apart from where I stood.He swiftly approached me making my eyes widened, and I instinctively backed up until my back was against the office door."W-what?" I stammered as he came to a stop right in front of me. He was so close that I nearly stumbled, pressing against the door."How long do you plan to hide from me?" His voice was tense as he asked. Nervousness gripped me."What do you mean, Sir Karious?" I inquired, my voice quivering.I don’t say much about my plan. If this was about my true identity, I suspected he might already have a notion that I was Kassandra, so I wasn't sure what he meant by hiding."If you needed help, you should have sought me out," he stated calmly."I need you. That's why I'm here with you," I responded softly, my gaze locked on him.He averted his e
