All Chapters of The Billionaire's Pretend Wife: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The next morning, the two sat down to have breakfast together. Isabelle asked him whether it would be okay to leave her luggage at his place while she took care of some matters during the day.He told her she could stay as long as she wanted, but she insisted that she would not bother him further.“Just don’t shy away from asking me if you need anything,” he told her. “You can count on me, Isabelle.”She nodded and gave him a grateful smile. “Thank you, Seth. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay your kindness.”“I would do anything for you,” he told her, staring straight into her eyes.Isabelle remembered when Jacob warned her that Seth wanted to sleep with her. She had always thought that his interest in her had ended in college, but there was no mistaking the look in his eyes. Granted, it wasn’t a bad kind of look.Jacob had made it sound as if Seth’s only interest in her was getting her to bed. But that wasn’t the kind of longing Isabelle saw in his eyes. This one was pure, sincere.An

Isabelle had been prepared to spend every last cent she had and borrow a few more to cover Ruth's funeral costs.What she hadn’t expected was for the Larson Group to more than take care of everything. Did they really give that much condolence money to their employees? It seemed unreal.She was about to leave the vice president's office when she remembered that Logan Larson had wanted to meet her. Now that she was here, and before she went on her leave, she could see him.“Sir, is the CEO around? He wanted to meet me yesterday, but I had an emergency.”The vice president frowned and rubbed his hand on the back of his neck. “No, he is not available at the moment.”“Oh, okay. I’ll get going, then.”He nodded and walked her to the door.After leaving the company, Isabelle went straight to the hospital to make funeral arrangements. She had tried to get hold of anyone who would be interested in sending Ruth off the previous day.The children’s home Isabelle had stayed at, and where Ruth had

When Isabelle left her hospital room accompanied by Seth, Naomi appeared from behind the corner she was hiding in.She watched the backs of the two as they left, unaware that she had been at the door while they talked, and she had heard everything.Isabelle was pregnant with Jacob’s child? Naomi clenched her teeth and huffed. She was going to do everything she could to make sure that her adoptive sister left the city as soon as she could. Before Jacob woke up, and before Isabelle found out Jacob was actually Logan Larson.Naomi wasn’t going to let her win this time. She was the one who was supposed to marry Jacob in the first place. And now that she knew his real worth, she wasn’t going to let her stupid adoptive sister keep him. If Jacob woke up and found out about the baby…She shook her head. That couldn’t happen. She wanted Isabelle out of his life completely. When he woke up, she would be nowhere to be found. Once Naomi let him know that his wife had eloped with another man, it w

Jacob spent the next two days in the hospital and left on Monday. They were the longest two days of his life, and only Jason giving him multiple updates per day about Isabelle’s whereabouts kept him from saying damn it all and leaving against the doctor’s advice.He left the hospital in Jason’s company, with Kevin driving them. It was only a few minutes’ ride to the company, but he felt like it was taking forever.Jacob looked at his watch. It was twenty minutes to nine o’clock. He knew for a fact that Isabelle was already at work because Jason had her department director report to him the moment she showed up.He exhaled heavily. He couldn’t wait to see her face…hear her voice…hold her…If she would let him.He tapped his fingers on his thigh rapidly. The memory of that day at the hospital flashed through his mind. How she had run away from him, and the accusations her sister had made.The fingers on his lap curled into a fist. He refused to believe it. His sweet Isabelle would never

Isabelle couldn’t stop her body from trembling as she hurried to the elevator and pressed the call button. What was he doing here? Why had he come to look for her at her work? He was already with Naomi. Was that not enough to get back at her for lying?Jacob walked past her and pressed the call button for the executive elevator.“We can’t use that one,” she told him.“We can,” he said as the doors opened. He reached for her arm, wrapped his fingers firmly around her, and pulled her into the elevator with him. He pressed the button for the executive floor.“What are you doing?” she asked, attempting to free her arm from his grip.“We’ll talk in my office,” he said, setting a steely gaze on the closed doors.“Office? What are you talking about?”A small part of her was convinced she was dreaming. Or hallucinating. None of this made any sense. She knew Jacob was bold, but this was pushing it. He couldn’t just come to her company and do whatever he wished.He looked down at her, one brow
