บททั้งหมดของ HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE: บทที่ 171 - บทที่ 180

THALIA“S-Shit.”With a trembling body, I lay down on the white sand, catching my breath while scared to death. It was as if my soul left my whole being as soon as I fell off the ocean. Good thing the cliff is not that high and the ocean was calm today, or else I might be dead by now. Thankfully, I didn't forget to swim to the shore. I need to survive, after all, to kill those people who want to kill me.They always attack me behind my back.Now, my whole body is sore and exhausted. Who could it be? Who pushed me? Are they trying to kill me? Again? I remember my stalker escaped from prison. I guess he is still following me, shamelessly.The scorching sun pierced through my skin as I stayed under the heat for how many minutes, too tired to get up and find someone for help.As long as I'm still on the same island, I'm safe.“THALIA!!!”My eyes went open when I heard someone calling my name. That's Damon's voice.I slowly stood up and looked around behind me. Trees and grass were the

THALIAI swallowed the lump in my throat as I stride to where Mom is while glancing at the CCTV. She immediately wrapped her arms around me as if she hadn't seen me for years.It was warm and cozy. I badly miss her presence.Fortunately, I did not return to Damon's residence.Mom placed the paper bag she was carrying on the table while her eyes wandered the whole place. This is her second time coming here after months of not seeing each other.As I smell food coming from the paper bag she brought, I immediately look at what's inside.It's food! I miss my mom's food.While being busy sniffing the tasty aroma of the food like a hungry elephant, my attention was diverted to Mom, who was about to enter the bathroom.My eyes widened as I sprinted to the bathroom and shut the door closed, leaving her startled behind the door.“I-I can't hold it!” I nervously exclaimed, but my eyes darted at Damon's clothes in the laundry basket.She definitely knows that clothes are not mine at first glan

THALIAThe abrupt meeting ended with Damon being the center of attention after showing off his alluring smile to everyone. I stayed in the restroom for a couple of minutes to avoid the stares and murmurs of the people, especially the employees in the financial department. I just realized how embarrassing that was.Damon left the conference room after the meeting and I didn't have a chance to ask him about what happened on the island. I thought he was busy finding the guy who pushed me and the stalker who escaped from the prison but instead, he flew to Russia because of a company matter.A smile crept on my lips as my heart fluttered seeing Damon's face earlier. The frustration and worries faded as soon as he smiled, making me wonder if I missed him and was not angry about not responding to my calls and texts. Damn… I miss him again– No! I need an update about the incident on that island.I finally came out of the restroom and went straight to Damon's office. Luke is the first person

THALIA“M-Mr. Kane, what are you doing here?” My lips were trembling as I slowly approached them with a pierced gaze towards Damon.“I have a business to talk with your father, Thalia.” My brows furrowed at how he called me casually. “I mean, Ms. Carter.”He looked at me with teasing eyes. Is he enjoying this?“You're really something.” Dad got up from his seat. “Then, join me there.”They headed to the other side of the pool. Damon winked at me as he passed by, causing the blood to gush through my cheeks. My gaze followed him and Dad as they mingled with my other relatives. I bet they are going to talk all about business the rest of the night.Mom offered me a seat as my Aunt Alice was giving me a glass of wine. I accepted the glass and chugged down the drink at once while my eyes were fixed on Damon only.Don't you dare slip that tongue of yours, Damon!I felt someone sat beside me and placed his arm around my shoulder. It's my brother.“Did you tell him–”I abruptly glare at him.

DAMONDeafening silence filled the car as we drove off the road, going to somewhere I don't know with Thalia's father, Mr. Carter.I actually plan to ask for their daughter's hand but that's not today. I wanted to end these things before asking Thalia's parents formally.However, it turned out like this.He noticed and saw us. He's indeed smarter than his only son, Leander.“This person you cherished the most…” My ears perked up and gazed at him. “... was this my daughter?”I looked away when he met my eyes, gazing at the dark road from the back seat.I slowly nodded as he was still waiting for my response, which he already knew the answer but still needed confirmation from me.He grabbed my coat and harshly pulled me towards him. His raging eyes were evident that he wanted to kill me right now as he heard what he expected to hear.“Why?!” His jaw tightened as he clenched his fist on my clothes. “Why of all people, Mr. Kane? She's too young for you!”He pushed me harshly, causing me t
