“What did you say?” He asked with clenched teeth. His expression turned harder. She saw how he did not care about getting wet under the rain anymore. The umbrella was long forgotten as he unconsciously lowered it and grabbed it tightly in his hand.

Now, both of them were drenched to the core as the heavy rain kept pouring all over them, not caring about anything. She wished she was as carefree as nature at that moment.

“I said what you heard.” She spat and turned around. She was not in the mood to argue with him in the middle of the street with people watching like some movie scene was unfolding before them.

Before she could get away, he grabbed her wrist and turned her around.

“Nobody” He whispered angrily, “Nobody has ever disrespected me like that. I thought losing your job would make you see sense, but no! You are going to regret this.” He glared deep into her eyes making her lose her breath for a second.

There were so many emotions—not so-pleasant emotions—in his eyes. She wa

    "Doctor, is my mom alright?” His mother had been admitted to the hospital. She started having pain again and started bleeding. She just had her chemo three days ago. Olivia could not understand what the hell happened. “Please come to my office.” Dr. Robert had a serious expression on his face. Olivia followed him with her heart beating harshly. She had been crying non-stop. “Please take a seat.” The doctor told her gently when she kept standing and looking at him worriedly. “I want you to listen to me carefully. What I am going to tell you might shock you.” He said in all seriousness making her take a few deep breaths. She was worried to the core. Why was he behaving that way with her? What was wrong with her mother? “Your mother has entered stage four of cancer.” He told her regretfully. She looked at him dumbfounded. What did he just say? “M-my m-mom has, w-what?” She could not think straight. She just stared at the doctor blankly. She felt like the world had fallen upon her an

  • The Billionaire's Stripper Wife    Giving In

    There are times when one has to go through the agonizing pain of waiting impatiently for someone—he had faced those situations rarely in his life. It was one of those rare times when he sat by the huge window of the café she had sent the address to and waited for her to arrive. To think that he was behaving weirdly ever since he met her would not be wrong. He was never pushy—never threatened or coerced someone into giving what he wanted. But there was also the fact that he was never rejected or treated indifferently just like how she loved to treat him. Moreover, he also never waited for a woman like he had been waiting for the last hour. Even to himself, he seemed strange. Why was he doing all that? He was sitting and looking at the time when finally, she decided to grace him with her presence. He was glaring at his phone when he heard someone clear their throat. He looked up to find her standing there with all her glory. He could not understand why he was left breathless for a

    “Sir, Miss Anderson is here to see you.” His secretary informed him he was just hired two days ago. He had begun to join the office often. His grandfather was over the moon to find him there working. He had informed his secretary beforehand that Olivia was coming. “Let her in.” He said over the phone, folding the paper and leaning against his desk. He was just done going through the contract papers. She entered his office looking beautiful in jeans and a red shirt. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. She tied her hair a lot. As much as he was glad that her elegant neck was exposed, he wanted to see her hair down. He remembered how her long and gorgeous hair moved with her moves when she danced. He still could not believe she was the same person. She always dressed so modestly while she looked like such a seductress on the stage. “Welcome, Miss Anderson.” He greeted her cheerfully. She nodded without any expression and took a seat. ‘Still in a sour mood, huh?’ He thought. “Can we get

    “Are you insane?” She stood up from her seat with shock. It seemed like he had vowed to throw bomb after bomb on her. She had been taking everything well until he mentioned getting married the next day. It was just a day ago when she agreed to accept the proposal, and now he was telling to get married so soon. “Relax. Sit down please.” He stood up as well. He did not expect such a big reaction from her. “How can I relax? Will you let me have a say on anything? How can we get married tomorrow? I have not even told my mom anything yet. What will she think of me if I go ahead and tell her I am getting married tomorrow?” She threw her hands in the air while her eyes showed how frustrated she was. The reaction was not out of the blue. She had been put through hell in the past days, and she had an idea how difficult it was for her mom to bear all the pain. She could never think of causing her more pain. How can she go ahead and tell her that she was getting married all of a sudden? “We

    “What do you mean you are getting married in a week? Is this some kind of a prank?” She looked at the stunned expression Sana was having after she announced that she was getting married. Sana looked at her like she was spewing bullshit in some alien language. “You think I wanted to do this? I have no choice, Sana. My mother is on the verge of dying, and we are about to be thrown out on the streets. I could not find any other way.” She felt mist in her eyes at the helpless situation she was in. Sana put her hand on top of hers. “If you are worried about Aunt Amelia’s surgery, we can arrange that. My father is a social worker, Olivia. He can raise money to make that happen. Why did you have to take such a big step? You should have discussed it with me first.” Sana was not getting out of the shock however hard she tried. She could not believe Olivia would be so stupid to take such a big risk. She understood the dilemma that made her take such kind of a decision, but she was angry at h

    “Ma’am, how is this one?” Camila, the PA, asked her enthusiastically. She seemed like a cheerful person. How could such a cheerful person become the PA of such an arrogant employer was beyond her. “It’s beautiful. And please call me Olivia.” She said frankly and Camila smiled. She did not take interest at first. She wanted to pack the first dress she laid her eyes on, but Camila was picky. She made her change into five dresses, but she did not seem to like anything. Seeing how she pulled off the beige skirt and tea-pink blouse, it was not hard to guess that she had good sense of clothing. At first, she wanted to deny putting on any dress and pack the first one instead, but she looked so happy to help her choose her wedding dress that she did not want to hurt her. Besides, she wanted to take her mind off the things that were bothering her—like how she would tell her mom, how to manage everything after getting married, how to bear the arrogant man who was going to be her fake husband

    "Are we done for the day?" She asked with a sigh as they took their seat in the car. They were having some smootie after the shopping. It was evening time and the sun was setting with beautiful colors gracing the sky. As much as she wanted to be in the moment, she had to go home. "One last thing and we are done." She gave her puppy eyes. "You promise?" She asked with a sigh. They had been picking out outfits since the morning. She did not know Thomas was in for tiring her out like that. He should have at least be considerate of the fact that she had a sick mother to take care of. She did not want the nice PA to lose her job though. So she agreed when the car took them to their last stop for the day. Camila took her to a salon which was five minutes’ drive away. She did not want to go, but again, she thought the better of it. She did not want Camila to doubt anything. After all, she believed in them being lovey-dovey for some reasons. Wouldn't she find it weird that she was refus

    She looked breathtaking. He could not remove his eyes or blink for that matter as she came to stand in front of him. He was aware of the fact that she was attractive. The way her eyes always shone and pulled people in them. Her eyes were so dark yet so bright. It was a strange combination that he noticed in her the first time when she was yards away from performing on the stage. Her hair looked different given the fact that he had asked Camila for her makeover. It suited her. It also looked way shorter than the original length of her hair. Nevertheless, she looked gorgeous. He had seen her with and without makeup. But at that moment, she made her blinded by her beauty. He had never seen so much beauty in one person. “You look…amazing.” He breathed without taking his eyes off her. She looked surprised at the compliment. She did not expect him to compliment her. She was standing at a feet’s distance from him, but she again noticed how tall he was. She was wearing heels of four inches,

The voice…she recognized the voice.She opened her eyes again. This time, it felt less hurtful. The light was too bright for her liking though.“How are you feeling?” She heard the soft familiar voice again, but the voice sounded panicked for some reason. She adjusted her eyes and was finally able to look at his face.The face that she loved to look at… Why did he look like he had grown his beard? He always had this 5 o’clock shadow. It looked quite rough now. His hair was also ruffled. She wondered if he even took care of himself.

    He was terrified as soon as he heard the scream. It was as if someone had pulled out his heart out of his chest. He had experienced such kind of feeling only once in his life and that was when he got the news of his parents’ accident. He was never the kind of person who would get scared easily. However, at that moment, he was scared to no end.He rushed in the direction where he had heard her terrified voice calling his name. A few steps inside the woods, and he reached there.He saw her plastered against the tree with no shirt on and with her hands tied. He saw that lunatic picking up a piece of wood and getting ready to hit her.How dare he!His blood boiled, and all he saw was red.Thomas did not know where he got the superpower to launch himself on Joe in a second, but he did. He smacked his face and threw him on the ground. He attacked him before he could do any more harm to Olivia.“You bastard! How dare you touch her.” He blew punshes after punches on his face.

    “I don’t know Mark. I have decided to let her go.” He sighed leaning against his chair. He was in the office when he received her text. He felt devastated to type the reply he sent to her, but he had no other way. He had to free her after all the suffering he put her through during their contract marriage. It was about time he put a full stop to all of that.But why did his heart feel like it had just been pierced? Even the thought of letting her go hurt him to no end.“Listen, man, it is not her fault that her father had been involved in the accident that happened years ago. Don’t get mad but it is not her father’s fault either. Nobody can control an accident, Thomas. He also lost his life. His family has also been suffering just like you have been suffering all these years. Let go of this hatred, Thomas. It will destroy you and your relationship with Olivia.” Mark said trying to make him see sense. He had seen him being engulfed in that hatred for too long. Due to this hatred, he wa

    “What did you just say?” He growled as he came closer to her. His eyes looked bloodshot. His hair had also fallen from its perfect position. He visibly shivered with anger as he yanked her hair again. This time, it was even harsher.She yelped as she felt like her hair would be pulled out of her scalp. Even in that state, she rose a little and looked challengingly in his eyes.“I said you are a pathetic piece of shit.” She spat at him after saying it again. She was so angry. He was so eager to see her crumble before him and shudder with fear. He thought he would get rid of her without any fight from her side. He was in for a surprise.She was well aware of her situation. She did not have anything with her to defend herself in that state. She had lost her phone when he started dragging her down the road and into the forest. Nobody knew where she was. Joe was looking at her murderously, and she was sure that he would not let her live another minute after what she said.However, he would

    She got up after what felt like hours. She started walking toward the exit of the park. The sun had already set and darkness was slowly engulfing the surroundings. She did not want to move, but she knew that she had to.She was so devastated. What would she tell her mom? She was so happy that her daughter had finally found someone for herself who loved her and cared for her. In front of her, they put up a perfect picture of the happily married couple. She would not be able to take such a harsh piece of reality.Olivia knew that her pretended marriage would have to come to an end sooner or later, but she was not aware that it would be this soon.What hurt her the most was not that he had decided to call the fake wedding off.

    She was tired of the push and pull. She was tired of playing the double life. It was not her.The life she was living was not hers. She detested lying to everyone about her relationship with Thomas. She hated that their pasts were connected in such a twisted way.Life was so unpredictable. If she had not lost her job, she would have never agreed to such ridiculous terms. Neither she was happy nor was Thomas.When they got closer after separating for a while, she thought that everything would be all right now. She thought that maybe for once, she would have the life she desired to live with Thomas. Although it was a contract marriage, she could not deny having intense feelings for him.It was true. She never imagined herself wanting to live with a man, craving his touch, desiring his presence so much as she wanted with Thomas. He was the first and only man she had opened up so much. She had opened her heart to him unknowingly. Now, it was hurting her like hell. She was sure he was hurt

    “Thank you for today.” Olivia smiled as the car stopped in front of the mansion. Seeing her mom’s face was indeed what she needed after the long, torturous days of being away from her mom. And now that she knew that her mom was being taken care of, she was satisfied.It was all thanks to Thomas.“My pleasure.” She saw him smiling as he also got out of the car and came around to open her side of the car door. She got out and was about to go inside when he grabbed her wrist and made her stop.“Are you okay now?” He asked with an expression of concern on his face. She was confused at first thinking why she should not be alright when she remembered that she was upset earlier. He was undoubtedly referring to that.At that moment, standing in front of him and under the moonlight, her heart felt at peace. She felt like everything was alright for once. She did not feel so miserable anymore.She had no idea what came over her as she closed the distance between them and put a soft kiss on his c

    “Olivia?” She whispered as soon as she saw her daughter. She was so sad for the past few days that she did not come to visit her. but she knew her daughter. She knew that she must have been caught up in something. Otherwise, there was no way she would not have come to visit her, especially after her surgery.“Mom, how are you feeling?” Olivia sat down beside her and kissed her cheek. Her mom seemed healthier than before. Mary said that she had been eating well. She had gotten sick the previous day, but the nurse had made sure to take care of her. Olivia felt like her heart would explode with pain. She was not there with her mom when she got sick.“I’m okay, darling. How have you been?” She asked her instead. Olivia smiled. There she was asking about her when her health was not in good shape. She had just had her surgery.“I am fine, mom. Did you miss me?” She asked with a smile. She wanted to make some jokes so she would not ask her why she was absent in the last week. As much as she

    Olivia had just gotten off the phone when Thomas entered the room. He had left for work in the morning and just returned. He wanted to see if Olivia had listened to what he had said to her.He still remembered the conversation.“Olivia, I have a request to make. Please don’t leave the room. Stay here.” He had said as he was about to leave the room.Olivia was still sitting in the same position on the bed. The pounding of her head had eased a little, but she still had no strength to leave the room. Besides, she was waiting for him to leave before she would go to her room as she did not want to argue with him when her head felt so heavy and she still felt a little nausea.But he had just told her not to do that. Why would she listen to him?“I will do whatever I want.” She had replied without sparing him a glance. She heard him sigh.
