The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 32
Chapter 32-UNKNOWN POV-"I still find it extremely hard to believe that he fell in love and married someone just days after he heard that he would gain an inheritance from his grandfather," I stroke my chin as I speak."It's a fifty fifty chance. Part of the fifty being that he really married someone out of love and the inheritance land just came as a bonus. The other fifty chance being that he is a crook and he got married for money." The private investigator answers stiffly and I let out a loud laugh."I so much doubt the first theory, the second theory is closer to the truth than you think that is why I need your help," the PI cocks his head to one side. "I want you to find out every single thing you can about that woman that he married and why he married her.""I also want you to give me tangible evidence that the marriage between them is fake. If I can get that, I'll show it to the lawyer and get him to annul Rowan's hold on the inheritance." I explain to the PI and he nods."I'

Chapter 33-INDIGO-I stand up from the ground to arrange my clothes. Rowan does the same before going back to his desk to settle down."I'll go now," I don't know why I announce it out loud, it's not like he cares or anything even remotely close to that."Of course and I have something planned for tonight," he says and I halt on my tracks, raising a questioning brow."What?" I ask."You'll know at night." He grunts and I roll my eyes before leaving the office.I go back to my desk to see that Matilda isn't in hers. Where is she? Lunch time has already passed, I look at her desk to see that she has loads of work.Huh.As if on cue, she waltz into the corridor and sauters past my desk to settle on her chair with a giddy smile on her face."What? What happened?" I'm quick to inquire and she gives a childlike giggle.Okay, what is going on here?"You know how you told Jax to ask me out for the Reids grand opening nonsense rubbish," she waves her hand as she speaks and I nod."Yeah well,
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 34
Chapter 34-INDIGO-I cannot believe this so called husband of mine. All he had to do was talk to me; tell me the truth. But no, he kept everything to himself. What kind of asshole does that?Him, apparently."You could've just told me," I whisper snarl by Rowan's side so that no one listens in on the conversation. "I could've," he shrugs and I narrow my eyes at him. "But I didn't." He adds as his eyes clash with mine. There's a glint in that Prussian blue eyes but I can't be sure what it's for or why it's even there in the first place. Before we get into a full blown argument, Jax clears his throat to break us out of the spell that we're in."How about we order?" He orders and I see Matilda Bob her head as she goes through the menu on her hand."Everything here looks so yummy," she visibly salivates and a look of disapproval marrs his features.I know that he doesn't like Matilda very much. He's openly told me countless times that he dislikes her and that she's a bad influence on
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 35
Chapter 35-INDIGO-The next morning, I'm up early and ready for the day. The love bite marks have toned down a little and are not as brash looking as they were the previous days so I decide to wear something more comfortable. I can only wear turtlenecks for so long.I put on a black pencil skirt and a pale pink short sleeved button down shirt. Rowan's collar is on my neck like it always is and I couple the look with black wedges. I have too many wedges for my own good.I wear my hair in a high ponytail, once I'm done with everything I have about thirty minutes to spare, so I decide to make a little breakfast and by little breakfast, I mean eggs and toast.I make the breakfast for two even though I'm perfectly sure that Rowan would rather do anything else than sit down with me to have breakfast. He has dinner with me, but that's a different matter entirely.To my surprise, as I hear the loud stomping noises of Rowan's shoes walking downstairs, instead of heading straight for the door
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 36
Chapter 36-INDIGO-"That Henry is really Henry Hawthorne, CEO of the Hawthorne industries, one of the biggest companies in the entire world." Matilda says and my jaw drops.The same guy that acts like a child and pouts every second of the day? He's the CEO of Hawthorne industries. A company that's almost as successful as this one, maybe even more.I try to say something but words don't come out from my mouth. I don't think I've ever been this speechless. And wait a second, if he's a rich ass CEO, why is he working here as a managing director? Something is not right, something is not right at all here."Matilda, you're sure of what you're saying? You're not mouthing off some kind of rumor you read on the internet and anything like that?" I ask for confirmation and she groans loudly before pulling out her phone and showing me the news.The headline reads 'Mysterious Multibillionaire, Henry Hawthorne, is back in the New York and getting himself acquainted with his childhood friend' s wi
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 37
Chapter 37-UNKNOWN-"I hope you have good information to give me because I don't appreciate people waking me up at twelve midnight." I growl and there's silence from the other end of the phone."I found something," he says."Of course, you found something else you won't be calling me in the goddamned midnight. But it better be something useful." My blood is pumping fast as I anticipate his next move."Rowan Grey wires a large sum of money to his alleged wife every month, proof that he actually is paying her to marry him and this money is not her salary. Also, I found out that he's also wiring money to a hospital,""A hospital?" I repeat."Yes, a hospital. And for a patient that has been in coma for eight years. Not just any normal patient, but his wife's brother. His accident was caused by a rough driver, hitting their family car and smashing it against a tree in Silver lake,""Its said that they were on a trip back to New York. Both parents died instantly, the boy unconscious ever s

Chapter 38-INDIGO-"Where did you get that scar from?" Rowan asks in a monotone voice and I frown, relaxing into the bed. "It's none of your business." I say, looking up to the ceiling and I can feel him get agitated. "I'm not going to ask you again," he grinds out and I sigh, striving to take a sitting position on the bed and turning to face him. "Just because we had sex doesn't mean you have the right to ask me about my personal life." I say in a serious tone but I'm not sure my words are getting through to him. "Nothing is personal to me when you're involved." He says in an obvious tone, like I should be aware of it already but it causes my frown to deepen even more."Why is it that you get to ask me questions and I don't even know one basic thing about you?" I ask him as the thought crosses my mind. All Rowan replies me with is a steady frown that causes me to sigh heavily before going back to lean on the bed.I turn to face him," Talk," he says in a straight voice. I take a
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 39
Chapter 39-INDIGO-I have never seen Henry so serious. Then again, I've known him for only a handful of weeks. It's so weird seeing someone going head to head with Rowan. It almost never happens, Heck, I've never seen or even heard of it happening before."Nothing except you've been ignoring your wife and today you're going to tell her why and it better be a damn good reason or else." Henry says in a tone that matches Rowan's own. Bold, firm, affirmative.Rowan glances at Henry from head down to the toe, his eyes casually goes to me and as soon as both our eyes clash, he quickly looks away. I don't know why but my heart pangs in my chest because of that."For one, you have no right to barge into my office demand things from me. And secondly, you also gave no right to stick up nose up in other people's business. Especially mine. Third, I have nothing to say to you or Indigo. Now, kindly leave my office before I blow things way out of proportion with you two at the receiving end of it.

The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Epilogue
Epilogue-INDIGO-"I feel hot. I don't know why. Do you feel hot as well? Or is it just me?" I rant to Matilda and Henry.Matty places her hands on my bare shoulders to caress me. "Indy, you're hyperventilating right now. Cool it." She says, and I realize that she's right.My chest is heaving up and down in an erratic manner. I feel like my head is about to explode. I don't know if it's because I'm nervous or if it's because of something else entirely.Why am I nervous a person might ask? Well, that's because I'm getting married today. Yep, you heard that right. I'm getting married to Rowan today. Again. We're going to have an official wedding today.It all started last two months after Frederick got arrested. The proceedings for the court were wrapped really quickly because of the confession I had. Charlotte and Frederick got long prison sentences. Rowan and I started to hang out more. Though I didn't return back to the company. Instead, I'm now working for Henry's restaurant with no

Chapter 71-INDIGO-"He might not have proof, but I do." I say as I step into the room, holding up my phone with a sardonic smirk on my face.Frederick pales immediately at the sight of me. "Wh-what are you doing here?" He stumbles on his words.I turn my attention to Rowan and throw him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Rowan. When I saw you with Charlotte, I just totally lost it. I thought- I thought so many things and I needed time to think and reflect."I thought about it so hard. But you never liked Charlotte, did you? Even before you got married to me, you hated sharing meetings with her. I thought about it and found it so hard that you would want to bed her. It all sounded so mixed up to me."I came here today to ask you more questions about it, then I ran into your conversation with this man," I spit out with venom laced in my voice. "I couldn't be sure what was happening, but since I've always known that he's a no-good sleazebag, something in the back of
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 70
Chapter 70-ROWAN-Ah, shit. Shit, shit, shit. I've finally done it. I've ruined my life through and through. I take a huge gulp from the champagne bottle in my hand and set it harshly against the bar slab."Fuck." I curse out loud. This is all my fault. If I had just told Indigo the truth when I found out maybe things wouldn't turned out this way.I was so fucking foolish to think that pushing her away was going to help matters in anyway. I didn't think things through that time, and my decisions are now biting me hard in the ass. I wish I was more sensible.I take another huge gulp from the champagne bottle, then groan loudly afterwards. I feel like I'm being ripped apart from the inside. Nothing in my entire life has ever hurt this bad. Absolutely nothing.Heartbreak is the worst pain imaginable. I never thought it was but now that I'm feeling it, I know it is. Indigo hates me now. There's no coming back from that. I bet she's going to move on from me sooner than later, leaving me a
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 69
Chapter 69-INDIGO-I can't believe the scene in front of me.Rowan and Charlotte are kissing. I feel like my head and my heart are about to explode. I can't think straight. I'm shivering all over.My exclamation makes them pull apart from each other. Charlotte, who is wearing a thin silky robe, breaks into a sly smile as she notices me. While Rowan, there's guilt all over his expression.So he knows that he's done something bad. This isn't even supposed to be hurting me the way that it is but I can't help myself. I knew him to be a liar and betrayer but not a cheat. Never a cheat.I guess I was wrong about that too.Tears prick the corner of my eyes but I try as much as I can to suck them back in with little to no success.Rowan reaches for me, but I flinch away, not wanting his dirty hands to touch me."Indigo, it's not what it looks like. I can explain." He says in a desperate tone as he pushes Charlotte away and starts to walk towards me.I'm backing away from the door, shaking my
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 68
Chapter 68-INDIGO-I don't know why I keep thinking about Joshua's words. It's been two days and still. I still can't get over it."How much he loves you..."Loves me? Rowan doesn't love me. He only Loves himself and his lies so why can't I get it out of my mind? Anyways, since I have no job now, thanks to the lying bastard, I have to start updating my CV to find a better one.Henry offered me a spot in his company but I'm still thinking about it. I don't want to be the girl who divorced a billionaire and now works for said billionaire's best friend. It has an odd ring to it.Though it would be very beneficial. I'd have a friend at work, Henry, and I can bet that his working environment won't be as toxic as Rowan's. Henry is a much nicer person. Or worse comes to worse, I could take up a waiting job at his cool ship restaurant.I think that's even a better odd. I miss that place so much. I hate that my first and only memory of it is tainted with a man named Rowan Grey. My goodness, e
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 67
Chapter 67-INDIGO-"Hi, guys." I say to everyone as I step into the kitchen.Matilda, Jax, and Henry are all caught off guard at the sight of me. I mean, I haven't read the room that Jax graciously spared to me since the day Rowan came by.They've been the ones to come checking up on me and all of that. Yep, I've been heavily depressed but last night, I don't know. I had this self discovery thing happen to me during a whack dream I had.I can't keep pining over Rowan my entire life. It's not like I'm the first person in the one who has been lied to, betrayed, and heartbroken, nor am I going to be the last.I'm not going to let a little set back in my love life predict the rest of my entire life. I had a pep talk with myself. Yes, I know it's going to be incredibly hard but I need to move on.Find a new job, a new house, something to love for. Rowan has moved on, he hasn't been back at the house, he hasn't been pining over the place, begging for another chance do why should I be the o
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 66
Chapter 66-ROWAN-Fuck, I can't think straight anymore. Everything is all blurry in my head, my eyes, my everywhere. But I have to attend this meeting.Even if it's just to tell the investors fuck themselves. The cab driver that drove me tontge office kept asking me if I was okay? What the fuck is that question all about?Can he see that I'm not fucking okay? I can't even remember the last time that I was okay. Wait, scratch that. I can remember. It was when I was with Indigo. When she was looking at me like I was the most important thing to her in her entire life.I just had to ruin that. When I get down from the cab, I stumble on my tracks. A few people on the streets throw curious glances my way but I ignore them. I don't give a shit about all of that.I choke on a cough as I manage to get through the front door of the building and into the lobby of my company. Everyone freezes as they spot me. It's been a while since I came to the office.Without her it doesn't feel worth it anym
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 65
Chapter 65-INDIGO-Rowan's eyes go dead at my words. Perhaps he was expecting me to listen to what he had to say and continue deluding myself blindly. But I'm not going to do that."You heard her, Rowan. Just go." Matilda points at the door as she speaks. Rowan stares at me, hoping that the last few seconds was just a figment of his imagination and I hadn't truly just told him that I would murder him if he got too close.Sadly, it's not. I harden my expression more and better. When he sees that I'm not budging. He sighs and his face falls. "Believe me, I'm sorry." He says one last time before steering around and walking out of the house.Once I can no longer make out his figure, I let out a choked sob as I fall to the ground, smashing my kneecaps against the cold hard tiles hard. The loud sound seems to pull Matilda's and Jax's attention as they rush to my aid.They try to help me to stand up but I'm totally a mess. I hear myself blubbering and spewing out useless rants. I cry and cr
The Billionaire's Secretary Wife Chapter 64
Chapter 64-INDIGO-"Do you want ice cream?" Matilda asks and I shake my head, clutching onto my blanket tightly."Should I turn on the tv?" Henry asks and I shake my head."Should we run a bath for you or something?" Everyone of us turn to stare at Jax, he shrugs. I shake my head.I want to be happy. I want everything that's happened within the last two days to be a dream, a nightmare, that I'd just wake up from one morning and let out a sigh of relief. I want to be able to go back to the mansion to prepare breakfast for the person I thought I love.I want to not feel so horrible and betrayed all the time. I want to be able to eat without the good tasting sour and causing me throw up. I want to be able to smile without having to cry afterwards. I just want what I lost.I don't say any of that though. It sounds very pathetic in my head, I don't think I could summon the courage to actually say it out loud. So instead of voicing out of my thoughts and freeing myself. I shake my head and
