I wasn't dreaming!Levi Banks really seemed so serious about ending the contract!!What the hell!Fine, we might be in an unpleasant situation now, but I wasn't ready to leave his life yet. I'd grown so used to being his wife!.Isn't the fondness mutual anymore?..I stared at his sideview as he fixed his full attention on the road, sparing me no glance, not even one!..How could someone be this stubborn?!These days, I've really seen a completely different side of the lovely man I married and most times, I find myself wondering how worse the implication of my pregnancy for Ethan is for him that made him change this much..Sighs..Right in my head, I badly wanted to say “Are you for real?We have about one month remaining and you're cutting it short just like that?!”...Or even“Isn't our marriage so important to you in the business world? Why

The billionaire’s rented bride Shocking words
SOPHIA LANGFORD I really had to represent Levi the following day since he bribed me with kisses that made my lips swollen and apologies which I hope were sincere. Both meetings were by 11AM so we weren't in a rush since it was just a few minutes past ten. “I haven't seen you talk with your family since we got married, aren't you on good terms with them?”,he asked, buttoning up my pink shirt .. Yeah, he was so nice and kind. I hope it lasts though... “What's the essence of calling them when they're responsible for all that happened to me? Having a nightstand with a creditor, getting into a contract marriage with you, my struggles and all, were all to give them a better life” I sighed. “I once got raped too” I hesitated before adding this. His eyes widened. “You did?” I nodded. “I don't want to talk about it" I bit my lower lip, leaving his front for the mirror

LEVI BANKS I arrived at my destination after about twenty minutes of the cool ride and as expected, the building was surrounded by bodyguards in the usual black uniform. I received a salute from them in unison, before going in.. “Was thinking you'd send secretary J. over, I was told you'll be at a summit” Xing got up on sighting me, smiling as he spoke in his typical Chinese accent. The other team stood on their feet too while I returned the smile, walking over to Xing to receive his handshake. “I intentionally decided to come myself, my wife is currently representing me at the summit" I informed. “I thought men of nowadays don't like to stress their wives” one of the team members said and we all giggled “Sophia is so supportive you know” I replied with a sweet smile as we all settled.. “I'm sure she'll be pregnant by now, the wedding was two months ago and your lovey dovey moves have been all ov

SOPHIA LANGFORD “I'm offering a ride, hop in” Those were Ethan's words on sighting me at the parking lot after the summit ended. “My husband will be here soon, never mind”I replied politely because of the people around but glared secretly at him remembering how he almost gave me a heart attack when I arrived earlier. •FEW HOURS EARLIER• Of course, Ethan Weston didn't call me his baby mama with the investors on seat... I guess he knew better than doing that. The statement was actually a product of my imagination while the words he actually uttered were “Let's welcome the youngest billionaire chairlady in here, Mrs Banks” Oh, sure.. One could give that statement an eye roll a million times because it didn't just seem unnecessary, it also felt hypocritical. I managed to smile, settling down while exchanging pleasantries with the numerous directors who seemed to know me s

JESSICA FINN I couldn't help being so mad at Levi when I found out that he got represented by Sophia at the summit. Yes! I saw the damn pictures she took with the executives on the business page. She was his wife, yes, but why would she be the one representing him and not me?! Why exactly?!!! “Fuck!” I cussed, swallowing hard as I reminisced on her words to me when she applied to be a rented bride and we met physically with the other applicants. “Please ma'am, this job opportunity will help my family from poverty and debts. Please help me" she had pleaded even after having necessary qualities Levi told me he wanted. “I shouldn't have picked her!” I spoke regretfully. “Honestly, you'll injure yourself Jessica. Forget about it!” Lena, my best friend yelled. We actually live together in the same apartment but each time she has a delivery to make outside the country or state

SOPHIA LANGFORD I wasn't dreaming or imagining things. I was really in an unfamiliar room and naked under a duvet! Okay, yeah.. The only thing I had on was my pant and bra, every other thing was gone and the first thing that came into my mind was nothing but.. ‘Ethan had taken advantage of me' “No!" I blurted out, throwing off the duvet cover in a rush. Nothing happened right?!! I needed to know! “But then, I felt myself down there.. I didn't feel like something had penetrated into me but of course, that wasn't enough conviction! Without hesitation, I took off the duvet cover from the bed, checking out the bed for any form of stain but there were none!! My clothes weren't lying aimlessly on the ground either.. They were neatly folded into a transparent laundry bag which my eyes caught.. Why then was my clothes taken off?.. I felt a bit relieved that nothing

SOPHIA LANGFORD “.. And what on earth am I going to gain from lying?” Ethan demanded, questioning my confrontation. “Levi can't kill and we both know that!” I emphasised, literally repeating this statement for the umpteenth time today. “Well, there's always a first time for everything,” Ethan shrugged. I couldn't help being stunned.. “It's all over the business group and you don't expect me not to hear information regarding the downfall of my rival.. I have most cops wrapped at the tip of my fingers you know” Ethan smirked. “Levi will never have a downfall!” I declared. “Well, he has started having one already. A murder case is a big deal for even a billionaire” he asserted. I folded my sweaty palms, still not believing him totally.. Maybe he was only saying that to make me remain in his house. “Staying here to listen to trash is just a waste of time” I muttered.. And so,

JESSICA FINN My lips curved into a smirk as I walked out of Levi's house, settling behind my car's steering wheels.. Nothing could be more pleasing than what had just happened now. Absolutely nothing! “Oh Jessica, you're so good” I smiled, biting my lower lip on remembering the kiss again. •MOMENTS EARLIER• Levi got into his car and drove off without me, seeming so frustrated and sad. I heaved a deep breath, giving the police station a final glance before getting into my car too.. I knew he was heading home so I drove straight to his house since I'd lost sight of his car. His phone rang for the second time since he gave me and I turned to see the caller's ID.. ‘Soph-heart' He had saved her number that way and with an eye roll, I ignored the call. “Lowlife.." I muttered hatefully with a hint of jealousy creeping out of my voice. “Boss, this situation requires patience” I said a

JESSICA FINN “You proposed to work with me Jessica, I didn't force you!" Ethan's words came in a raised voice when I challenged him for implicating Levi, whom he knew I loved. I was quite mad at him.. I mean, so mad! All he ought to do was things that would cause their separation as soon as possible, not things that would implicate him! “My sole intention was for you to help me get Sophia out of the way after I knew of her pregnancy for you. I knew you would want her and I needed to take advantage of things!” I yelled back “Levi is my greatest rival” I heard him mutter. “I know but is winning Sophia not enough to hurt him and taunt him for life? You can't bring down his grandpa's company too! He has no bad intentions against you so why can't you focus on getting just Sophia!" I lamented! He exhaled deeply. “Xing deserved the poisoning. He cheated me so I made him the victim while

ETHAN WESTON Jessica was brought to the hospital by herself and her Ex husband, Viktor, had been waiting alongside a nurse who was to help take out the blood.. “Bravo!” Viktor said happily, hugging me thoughtlessly. I slapped his hands off, rolling my eyes. “As long as our agreement still exists, don't thank me for anything. We're simply helping each other" I replied, watching as Jessica's unconscious body got laid on the bed. I'd intentionally requested his oil company for such a little amount of money because why?.. I was still on the mission of getting ten times richer than Levi and even his grandfather, Harold. “Sweet wife” Viktor pouted, bending over to kiss Jessica all-over her face. “Yuck.." I grimaced. “I missed you insanely” he pressed his lips against hers this time. “Can you stop being shameless, the sedatives will wear off in less than four hours, we need to b
The billionaire’s rented bride Kidnapped
JESSICA FINN Nothing could be more heart melting than the moment when Levi began reciprocating the kiss while I continued deepening it. I'd intentionally made such a request last night and to him, he was doing it out of self-will but to me, my imagination made me feel like he was attracted to me just the same way I was. And.. Sure, my secret video camera was active. He tried breaking it but I didn't allow it until I was unable to breathe anymore. “Sweet..” I smiled shamelessly when we disconnected our lips. He wiped his lips before sighing. “Don't ask for this again" he said, proceeding to alight. “I deserve it, don't I?” He turned to me and sighed again. “I'll see you at the next meeting. Make necessary preparations towards it, see my lawyer today and ask the financial team to deposit half of Alfred's charge to the account he'll be sending” I instructed, makin
The billionaire’s rented bride Meeting her demands
LEVI BANKS Morning dawned later than expected, probably because I spent so much time thinking about things in general and most especially, Jessica's request. I cleaned up in the bathroom and took one of the available clothes in the closet to wear, realising that my hair needed to be trimmed. My breakfast was brought in not so long after and this time, I didn't reject it. Not just because I was hungry but also because I felt better than the previous days.. besides, it wasn't the usual omelette but something much better. The cop in charge of me came in, just when I was about to call Jessica to ask for the time she would be coming over. “Good morning Mr. Banks" he bowed and with a sigh, I stopped dialing the number and switched off the phone, knowing fully well that he was here for the phone. “Here.." I handed the device over to him even before he could request it. “By the way, you have a
The billionaire’s rented bride Lingering emotions
SOPHIA LANGFORD I couldn't sleep all night and worse, the night seemed unusually long. All I kept doing was cry, roll to the other side of the bed, visit the toilet, groan when I felt a stomach pain, and then, cry again.. Mum would always tell me when I was younger..“It's wrong to stare at mirrors at night” But this was me, staring at the mirror by 3AM, to talk to the baby inside of me. “Do you know how much I hate the fact that you're in there?” I began, staring at my exposed stomach and my little bump. “Do you know how much it hurts when I remember who your father is?.." “I'm locked here because of you!" My tears fell this time and I didn't even bother stopping them. “Why can't you just disappear. You cause me so much pain and discomfort..” I sniffed. “My heart hurts so much. Why did you have to come after that nightstand?I did it unwillingly, didn't you see that?..” I
The billionaire’s rented bride A rewarding kiss
LEVI BANKS I had no idea when I slept on getting back to my dorm and at midnight, I was awake. I couldn't sleep anymore. I took my phone on the bed stand where I placed it before sleeping off. I'd actually requested that it's given to me for the night by forfeiting the access to use it for the next two days. Jessica had definitely spoken with Ethan regarding Alfred already and I badly anticipated her feedback. I went over to my mailbox, bumping into over a hundred messages, both from work and my personal life.. Till now, no one except a few business partners and Xing's family knew I was in prison. It isn't something that should go viral except if I lose the case in court. “She sent no message?.." I raised my brows in surprise, seeing nothing in our private chat except our previous messages. I immediately began dialing her number, caring less of the fact that it was just 1AM in the mid
The billionaire’s rented bride Greedy request
ETHAN WESTON “My chastity?” I needed to be sure I hadn't heard him wrongly just now so I simply asked to confirm. “Yes son. You shouldn't relate with women, stop it if you still do it" he replied, shocking me even more. I scoffed. “Is this a joke or what, dad, what are you talking about?” “I don't make expensive jokes and you know it” He responded. “I'm not a misogynist for crying out loud!” I lamented. “Then start adapting to being one” his voice held no form of emotions nor remorse, meaning, he wasn't even caring about my feelings. “Well, that's the greatest impossibility you'll come across. I'm too young to stay away from women. It's not even my thing” I spoke with so much confidence like he could do nothing.. “Amazing” I heard him chuckle devilishly and I folded my fists. What was this man up to?! “I'm not an eunuch, nor a monk, so why should I obey such instruc
The billionaire’s rented bride Shocking demand
ETHAN WESTON I didn't yell out Sophia's name, I knew I roared like a hungry lion and even the maids who weren't expecting such actions, flinched and staggered.. Sophia cannot attempt to murder my unborn child, never!.. not when it's my greatest greenlight to getting the presidential position. As the maid had informed, she was right in the large sitting room, looking so pale and barefooted with her hand folded around a knife which she was raising to her belly.. “I want to see Levi now else I kill myself and this child..” she threatened on sighting me. “And of course, the child is at a greater risk" she added with a smirk. I was really threatened but there was this ego in me that didn't want to reveal my panicked state, so then, I decided to change my expression into a calm one. “Thanks for making me confirm that you never even tried aborting the baby. Didn't you use the pills Jessica gave
The billionaire’s rented bride Weighty threats
ETHAN WESTON Sophia's eyes beamed with nothing but hatred and distrust but was it crazy that I craved her even more despite that?.. “I'm not joking Ethan!” she yelled as my arm bled. I let out another fake groan. The pain was nothing compared to the ones I'd felt at childhood when dad was terribly violent so I could literally endure it even without letting out a sound. “Your husband is in jail because of violence, do you think you'll go scot-free if I decide not to take this lightly?”I threatened and she calmed down a bit, breathing heavily. “You bloody ---" “You had better keep the remaining words in your head. I dislike being called names" I interrupted, trying to stop the blood from my wounded arm by raising my hands to it. “Take it or leave it, you'll be here till my child is born” I added, getting up from her bed and heading out. “You are just deceiving yourself! You can't restri
The billionaire’s rented bride I can’t stay
SOPHIA LANGFORD Ethan's house seemed so suffocating to me and I couldn't just wait to be out. “Even if you'll be leaving, wait to receive your last treatment from my private doctor, she might come around tonight, i forgot about her schedule” he had said when I insisted on going home earlier. But I was really running out of patience at the moment. It was well past 6pm already and I was determined not to spend a night at his place. I badly needed to see Levi. I couldn't wait any longer. “Ouch..” I winced, trying to get the water drip needle out of my veins. I was terribly hungry, and at one point, I feared if my baby was still safe... How was it faring when I was unconscious?.. Hating Ethan didn't mean I hated my own offspring, especially with the fact that being pregnant wasn't easy at all. A knock sounded on the door but I didn't even bother paying attention to it. The person knocking opened the do
