032: Who Is The Lucky Girl?

Cynthia's POV

She can’t possibly be his wife, can she? The woman I saw at the restaurant? The overreacting one? I questioned myself as I slowly walked towards my car. No, that doesn’t make sense. Alexander would never go for someone like her. He was far out of her league, and there wasn't really anything special about her. She didn't have the grace nor the elegance to catch the attention of a man like Alexander Forger.

But then again, it was impossible to just throw the possibility away especially after what had happened yesterday. He had chased after her the moment she left the restaurant, the old Alexander would never chase after a woman, never! And now, this? Suddenly announcing his marriage? It couldn't possibly be a coincidence. Had she forced him to announce their marriage in order to keep the other women away from Alex? It was likely to be the case, especially after seeing how angry and jealous she had been at the restaurant yesterday.

However, all of this was based on the

    Alexander's POV It was expected, and she hadn't been the first person to question me about it. The news was everywhere now, and I had gotten dozens of emails regarding the matter. Few were congratulatory messages, while the majority were questions from colleagues that I had worked with in the past, a few that I couldn't even recognize. "That's not something you should worry yourself with. It wouldn't help you in any way now, would it?" I returned while I slowly slipped my hand away from hers. "I beg to differ." Came a sharp reply from Cynthia who picked up her glass the moment I stole my hand away from hers. "I want you back, Al, and now you're suddenly married? Did you do it to spite me? Or have you simply just kept your marriage away in order to lead me on?" I rolled my eyes inwardly. As always Cynthia was so full of herself. I had been wondering since the day she called me. What was she really up to? Could it really be that she was in love with me, and genuinely wanted us back

    Heather's POV Hearing everybody talk about Alexander's marriage and who the mystery wife might be was already weird enough, but it was nothing compared to being escorted out of the classroom by two men dressed in suites with black tinted shades. The last thing I wanted was to be the center of attention especially when everybody was looking around for the possible wife of Alexander Forger. The whispers and murmurings had begun before I even had the chance to leave the class. I held my face down, wondering where these men could have possibly come from. My heart pounded erratically as I followed the two figures. What if they worked for Mathew? Had it been a mistake to force Alexander into announcing our marriage? I wondered while I searched for possible escape routes as well as readying my voice to scream out for help if it happened to be Mathew. However, it was not Mathew, it was my selfish father in law, Logan Forger. "You look well, Heather. I didn't expect you to return to school

    Alexander's POV I had been too occupied with Cynthia to notice that I had gotten a text from Heather early enough. By the time I had seen the message, two hours had passed and Heather had already informed me that she was at home. Without wasting any second, I had immediately driven to her place in order to make sure that she was doing alright. I promised myself to kill Logan Forger if as much as one strand of hair was missing on her head. I will never forgive him if he dared to harm Heather. Anxious and paranoid, I sped through the roads like a madman until I reached my destination. Without care for how my vehicle was parked, I jumped down and immediately raced into the house. Heather was in the kitchen when I entered the room, and from the look of things she seemed to be doing alright. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?!" I asked while I raced to get a better assessment of her condition. "I'm fine, he didn't do anything to me." Heather replied, but I could tell she wasn't done. R

    Heather's POV The doorbell rang only a few minutes after Noah's departure. Eager and happy that he had chosen to stay home instead of confronting his father, I raced to the door, ready to throw myself in his arms the moment I opened the door. I glanced through the window while I hurried towards the door, and only then did I realize that Noah's car was still gone, and come to think of it, I never really heard the sound of his car coming back. The excitement that once enveloped me vanished and was immediately replaced with paranoia and anxiety in a split second. I've had neighbors come to say hi and welcome me to the neighborhood, but never this late. I was skeptical at first, but after some few minutes of thinking and speculation, I finally decided to open the door and find out who it was. My eyes widened expressively and I felt a sudden feeling of rage wash over me the moment I opened the door. I might not be able to remember everything and everyone I had met before, but there was

  • The Billionaire's Secret Wife   037: Warnings And Precautions

    Alexander's POV The last thing I had expected to hear from Heather was Cynthia's name, or the fact that she had actually shown up at our doorstep. I had been careless and inattentive to the fact that she could have been following me. Safety precautions had slipped my mind the moment I received Heather's text. The only thing that had been on my mind back then was getting to her and making sure she was safe. Cynthia had exploited that moment, and had made good use of it. "She's... someone I'm working with on a contract." I replied after a minute of silence and confusion. However, Heather was not particularly satisfied or pleased by my answer. I could tell she recognized Cynthia from the restaurant, and there was the possibility that Cynthia had already said things that would suggest to Heather that our relationship wasn't just work related only. "Is that all? Because she didn't look or sound like a simple work colleague, Al!" Heather referring to me as 'Al' was all I needed to fi

    Alexander's POV The news of Logan Forger's burnt warehouses was on the front page of every newspaper and magazine in the city. I hadn't really expected that my father would listen to my threats and risk having his entire business destroyed by Mathew, but apparently that had been the case. However, I knew it wasn't going to be long before he called me and demanded something else in return for this. The Logan Forger I knew was never going to let something like this slide. And as for Mathew, he had shown that he was capable of keeping his threats. He was clearly dangerous, and it had become obvious that he was going to be a tough shell to crack. He was beginning to make moves that might cause serious trouble for me in the long run. "Come back to bed, Al. Why do you have to leave so early?" Cynthia grumbled sleepily. I paid her no attention as I hurriedly put on my clothes. "I have matters that I have to attend to." I replied curtly, straightening my morning hair as well as searchi

    Logan's POV It had become clear that Mathew wanted war, and there was no way in hell that I was going to back away from this fight. He had crossed a line, one that I simply couldn't ignore. I had done my best to keep things subtle between us simply of guilt and the fact that he was family. They had called it cowardice, but I didn't care, I didn't listen to what anybody said, I just wanted to keep my son and my company alive. But now that Mathew had directly threatened the two things I cared about the most, there was no way I was going to sit still and let it slide. I knew exactly where to hit Mathew hard, and I was not going to let this opportunity slide. His cartel was a large one, and Matthew Forger had a big reputation in the underground business world. His cartel was mostly responsible for the sale of transportation of goods in the black market, and I had inside info that they were transferring illegal merchandise into the city tonight. While I had no idea what the produc

    Mathew's POV "That son of a bitch!" I spat the moment announced the news to me. More than a dozen of my men had been arrested at last night's raid of the Black Box, and I had no doubt in my mind that this was Logan Forger's doing. This was payback for burning his warehouses. He clearly was no longer the coward he used to be, and that had clearly become a serious problem. "I'll kill him! I'll fucking kill that bastard!" I rampaged, throwing everything in sight and smashing anything that was too heavy to lift and launch at the wall. "He's playing with me! He's fucking playing with me." "Give me an order, I'll make sure he pays for this!" Viktor demanded calmly, though the rage he felt at that moment was difficult to conceal. He was shaking, seething with rage. His cousin had been one of the apprehended members, and this wasn't a raid done by the police. The fucking army were involved, the state military, it wasn't a case I could simply resolve with power. If anything, it was probab

    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 bac

    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 k

    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."

    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

    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

    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 th

    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
