The Billionaire's Secret Wife 020: The Plan...
Matthew's POV As a leader of a cartel, there was very little I could not have access to whenever I wanted. Women, money, wealth, there was no limit to the pleasures I could obtain. But at the end of the day, there was something that mattered far more to a man than all of that. Respect was something that could not be bought. It had to be earned, and I had gotten mine through blood and fear. I leaned back in the massive luxurious velvet sofa, hoping to enjoy the show that was currently being put on solely for my viewing pleasure. As I reclined back, several soft hands drifted across my bare chest, caressing my skin with expert seductiveness. My arms automatically extended to wrap around the two closest women at my sides before sliding down to touch them. Even though I felt absolutely nothing for them, they were very much aesthetically pleasant, pretty faces complete with curvy figures dressed in scandalously risque clothes. The multicolored lights on the ceiling above gave the pr

Heather's POV I wiped down the marble counter of the kitchen for the umpteenth time, until I was finally able to see the reflection of the ceiling on its glistening surface. Looking around the rest of the kitchen which I had spent a majority of the past hour and a half cleaning, I smiled a little at the minor sense of accomplishment that rose within me at that. That did not last long though, once I remembered that I should not really be doing this after all. I was supposed to be the wife of this house, not one of the help. But circumstances had seemed to decide otherwise and my husband himself had agreed with it. I was not always upset with the situation, but every once in a while, I wondered what it would be like if I never had to deal with any of this. From the betrayal at the hands of those shallow, greedy thieves I used to call my parents, to my essential sale to the Forger family, and now to my role as a house maid in the home of Alexander Forger, all in an attempt to keep

Alexander's POV Ever since that night when Cynthia had decided to come slithering her way back into my life, it seemed as if everything had begun to regress. Even though Heather and I had never really had much of a physical relationship, since neither of us had really wanted this marriage in the first place, it was a lot worse now. I knew that she had to keep up appearances as a maid in my house in order to keep suspicions about her identity a secret, but lately it seemed as if there was something else behind her actions. Whenever I entered a room that she was in, she would only stick around for a couple of seconds before running off. It was as if she could not stand being in my presence and I honestly could not fathom why. And even though I tried not to show it, receiving such a reaction from Heather of all people was something I had never expected which was why it actually hurt like this. Still, I was not going to let it get in the way of what I had to do. Heather had said th

Heather's POV I let the curtain fall and quickly moved to hide behind the wall the moment Alex's gaze nearly fell on me. My heart was still pounding in my chest, thanks to the unplanned moment we had a few minutes ago. I could still feel the slight tingles left over from then running through my body. It had come as a surprise to me, partly because I was still in a terrible mood with all that had been going on, but mostly because I had not really expected Alex to still have such interest towards me. The man was a notorious playboy, and he had the looks, money and charm to attract any lady he wanted. There was no doubt that he had been playing around with people far higher in value than I was, but for some reason he had continued to turn his sights on me. There was another problem in the picture still. Even though I had tried, I could not remove my mind from thinking about how Alex had gotten that lipstick on his cheek the other night. After he had gotten his ability to walk back,

Alexander's POV Waking up with the ability to feel everything from the waist down was something that I had learned never to take for granted. After having spent over a year confined to the nightmare that was a wheelchair, the full body stretch that came after being roused from sleep was definitely a most pleasant feeling. I sat up on the bed, noticing immediately that I was alone on it. Heather's side had turned a bit cold, which meant she must have left the bedroom a while ago. Thinking of the woman that had been brought into my life as a part of a monetary transaction, I could not help the grin that appeared on my face as I recalled the events of last night. During my time as a young, reckless, party jumping bachelor, I had obviously taken more than my fair share of lovers. But I had never felt an emotional connection with any of them that was anywhere on the level of what I had felt with Heather. Every reaction I drew out of her was like a note in a song that I wished I could

Alexander's POV "When I was going to call?" I repeated. "You talk like you were expecting me to contact you again." "Oh I wasn't expecting anything," Cynthia replied, her voice full of that unshakeable certainty and self confidence that I never forgot. "It was always a stated fact. I just knew it was only a matter of time until you called me. You and I both know that no one can help you the way I can." "Don't get too full of yourself just yet, Cynthia. A lot of things have changed since then, and I am not the man you once knew." Her voice tinkled with a light laugh over the phone. "We'll see about that, my dear Alex. What do you think? Shall I come over to your house so that we may... discuss our plans moving forward?" My tone went flat at her suggestion. "Nice try, but I'm not letting you anywhere near where I sleep at night. We'll be having our talks on neutral territory. The Price Gardens at noon today." She laughed again, this time I could tell that she was now actively in

Alexander's POV "How are you doing, Mathew?" I returned, reaching out to him for a handshake. Mathew didn't hold back, he ignored my outstretched hand and wrapped me in a warm and unexpected embrace. "We're family, there's no need for formality between us, don't you agree, cous?" He said with a hearty laugh, while he patted my back firmly. I pulled away, slowly putting a little distance between the two of us. I knew Mathew better than anyone, and I would be a fool to actually believe that he was happy to see me. He might be happy, but I could tell that it wasn't for good reasons. "It has been a while, Mathew, but unfortunately I do not have time to spare for a family reunion. Have a good day—" I hadn't finished when Mathew stepped into my path, the cheery look on his face subtly fading to a darker and more ominous expression, one that accurately described how he truly felt at the moment. "I'm sure you have enough time to spare." Mathew whispered, his tone low and demanding. It
Last Updated : 2025-01-03The Billionaire's Secret Wife 027: Lunch...
Heather's POV Although Alex and I kept in touch every single hour of the day, I still felt lonely. There was simply no denying the comfort that physical touch, or just being able to see him brought. It had been three days now since I moved in here, and while I was adjusting just fine, it felt a little lonely being in the big house all by myself. Bored and tired of sitting still all day, I decided to take a stroll down the neighborhood. Although I had spoken with a few neighbors, the majority still didn't know who I was, and sitting indoors all day was not going to help me socialize with these people. I headed to my room and put on one of the few casual clothes that I had. A checkered gown that stopped just a few inches above my knees. It was a body fitted gown, and while it seemed like what most people would wear to parties, it was actually one of the few dresses that simply wasn't luxurious enough to make me look like an insufferable show off. Picking up my purse and a lit

The Billionaire's Secret Wife 066
Heather's POV I had a strong feeling that Cynthia hadn't left even after she exited the restaurant, and I had been correct. The moment I was done with Matt, she had appeared out of nowhere and had intercepted my path. "What?!" I snapped at her angrily. I knew what she was up to, and I was in no mood to play those games with her. "So when were you going to tell Alex about your hot friend?" Cynthia asked just like I had expected she would. She crossed her arms dramatically, a sly grin slowly spreading across her face. Her tone was full of mockery, and I knew she wasn't going to leave me alone unless I said something to her. “I do not owe you an explanation about who I have lunch with,” I replied curtly, but Cynthia wasn't going to leave me alone. "Then perhaps I should tell Alex that I saw you having lunch with a handsome man. You two seemed to be getting along quite well, it's a good thing I got a video of your precious moments." I felt my blood run cold the moment I hea
The Billionaire's Secret Wife 065
Alexander's POV The last thing I had expected to hear when I got up from bed was the fact that Cynthia could be a serial killer. This practically just told me that I had no idea who Cynthia really was, and it genuinely terrified me. But then again, there was a solid possibility that this man was lying. I highly doubted that he was being dishonest, but that was simply not enough to prove that he was lying. "You do not seriously think that I'll believe you, do you? I've only known you for like five minutes, and you expect me to believe that someone I've known for years is a mass murderer of old men?" I challenged, crossing my arms and staring Maxwell down. My voice was steady, but internally, I was grappling with a storm of doubt. As much as I wanted to dismiss his claim outright, there was no denying that Cynthia had definitely changed. She had many connections, and was bigger than I had imagined over the course of a year. I never really questioned her about her means of surviv
The Billionaire's Secret Wife 064
Alexander's POV "It's been a while, Alex. How have you been?" Cynthia inquired in her calm soothing voice. I didn't reply immediately, I was far too stunned to reply as quickly as I should have. How did she get my number? Why was she calling? What was going on? My thoughts were a chaotic mess as I stared at my phone, unsure of how to react to the shock of hearing her voice. "Alex?" she prompted, her voice pulling me back to the present, and only then did I realize that I might have been silent for a little too long. I cleared my throat, trying to steady myself. "Cynthia... it's unexpected to hear from you. I've been well, you?" "Well? Surely that's not all," she said with a small laugh that was all too familiar to my memories. "You did just regain your ability to walk after a year, Alex." "Oh," I said, trying my best to sound calm and collected even though I was anything but. My years of experience in hiding my true feelings helped me manage that. "You heard about that

The Billionaire's Secret Wife 060
Alexander's POV I stared at Heather with stunned eyes, unsure of how to react to what she had told me. I suspected that something like that might be going on, but I never really imagined that it would be true. "It wasn't anything serious, I think he just missed my cheeks by accident." Heather explained in a rather frantic voice after she caught the look on my face. I knew for certain that he hadn't missed her cheeks by accident, and I knew that it was definitely something serious for whoever this Matt guy is. Heather might not take it seriously, if she was really committed to the relationship, I was certain she wouldn't let me know. However, I couldn't say the same for Matt who had no idea that Heather was married. "It..it's fine, Heather, I'm not mad at you." I finally replied after a full minute of silence. She had worked up the courage to tell me, and I was really grateful for that. At least she was better than me who couldn't even think of approaching her with the truth
