All Chapters of Sold To The Heartless Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

EVEN THOUGH she married a famous billionaire who had the power, money, and all the connections, Michelle persevered at her work and didn't use her husband as an excuse to slack off. She'd been trying so hard to prove her worth, wanting to earn the acknowledgement of her colleagues and change their impression of her. However, she knew it wasn't easy when her reputation had been tainted since the day she got hired as the CEO’s secretary. One busy day... Michelle stormed out of the cab and ran into the familiar building of Steinfield Company. Holding a pile of documents in her arms, she tried not to bump into anyone as she ran towards the elevator. She was late due to the traffic jam, and weeks of being married to the CEO had made her learn that tardiness was part of his hate list. "Excuse me! Please, excuse me," she said to anyone who walked the same way as she did. She saw the elevator open and

LEGS CROSSED and fingers tracing the bottom of his lips, Ethan was holding onto his little patience as he waited for Michelle to get done.Eyes glancing between the door of the fitting room and the screen of his phone, he inhaled sharply. Three years ago, his parents went to Europe to prioritize the medication of his father, Edward Steinfield, who was diagnosed with leukemia. Luckily, he got the best doctors and was still alive and kicking. Today, they finally fled back to the United States to see him, especially his wife.His mother, Selene Steinfield, who was very picky when it came to women he dated and badly wanted Ashley Smith to be his wife, needed to be impressed. Prior to the marriage he had with Michelle, his mother wanted him to marry Ashley. She was the only woman she approved to become his partner. However, Ethan couldn’t force him to marry his ex-girlfriend, as he was aware of how rotten she was inside. She was the woman he preferred to keep out of h

MICHELLE HAD to swallow her disappointment. She could not believe that she was with these people who showed her fake smiles but would attack her like rabid animals as soon as Ethan stepped out of the dining room."See, Aunt Selene? Uncle?" Ashley blurted out. "She can’t answer the question because she’s ashamed to tell you that she’s a gold digger."If there was one thing Michelle hated about rich people, it was their sense of superiority and being big fans of inclusivity. They thought highly of themselves, to the extent that when they encountered a person who didn’t belong in the same circle, their true behavior would come out so easily.For them, social status was important. In their eyes, poor people are just threats.Michelle took a deep breath. The look of Ethan's parents and Ashley's annoying smirk made her heart beat fast in her chest."Michelle? Can you answer my question please?" Selene’s voice was a bit demanding."You should’ve done a background check. Poor people always li

WHAT A LONG DAY, Michelle thought.She exhaled and massaged the bridge of her nose. It was one hell of a family dinner that had taken almost four hours of her remaining night. The family she just dealt with must’ve missed one another so much. A lot of topics, laughter, and even jokes were talked about. Ethan’s parents acted like nothing ever happened when their son left the dining room for a couple of minutes. They acted so perfectly, proving how great liars they were.It was almost midnight when Michelle and Ethan arrived home. They both went upstairs, and before Michelle could enter her bedroom; her husband threw her one unbelievable question."What do you think about my parents? They are greatly kind, aren’t they?"She spun around to face him. He was glancing at her. His expression was soft.Michelle could tell by the way he looked at him that he really had a great time at that dinner. She smiled at him. Even though her impress

THERE WAS a sudden shift in the air when Ethan entered the meeting room. The employees became uneasy, and could not look at their CEO in the eye. In one instance, the guilt on their faces was evident.Michelle's mouth trembled. Her tears continued to fall down her cheeks. She took a long breath and paused because what had just occurred was too much for her to grasp, and it had struck her right in the core.She expected her career at the company to come to an end shortly. Nobody made her feel welcome within the place. The employees refused to accept her no matter how hard she tried to show them that she was capable. They just regard her as a seductress who got her position by working under the table...And it hurt the most."No one is going to tell me what happened?" The thunderous sound of Ethan's voice echoed across the room. Her heart raced with terror and anticipation, as she had never heard his voice that enraged before.She fisted her hand, an
