All Chapters of Billionaire's Perfect Bride : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I sighed as I walked into our home gym in the morning, exhausted and annoyed. Something about that conversation with Sarah didn't sit well with me, and it had ruined my mood ever since."Ponyo?"I looked up in surprise as Richard placed the weight he was holding on the floor. He smiled at me and walked up to me, his expression searching. “Morning," he said as he lifted his hand, his touch tender as he brushed the back of his hand over my face.I pulled away from him a little, suddenly overwhelmed with a strong sense of guilt. My conversation with Sarah was deeply imbedded in my mind, in my racing thoughts, and I couldn't outrun them all.“With me as your wing woman, Richard won't have to depend too much on you, and your life will still be on track. After all, you very much wish to go back to it, right?”I shook my head, balling my fists in anger. The fucking audacity."Morning, Richy." I said, taking a step away and walked over to my yoga mat, mindlessly working my way through my stre

I could barely think straight as Richard pulled up in front of our house, my thoughts ruled by desire and fear in equal parts. His lips felt perfect against mine, and that kiss was everything I had ever wanted. This one was different somehow. It was even better than the memory that sustained my love for him for so many years, yet it wasn't enough. It was odd how much more intimate a single kiss can be, compared to everything else we had ever done.Richard seemed on edge as he walked around the car, his expression unreasonable. It would have been much better if it was guarded. He offered me his hand, and I took it hesitantly. Never in a million years did I think we would find ourselves together in this way, yet part of me felt like we were inevitable.My fingers curled around his, and he held onto me tightly as we walked to our front door, an unfamiliar tension filling the distance between us. I was scared he was already regretting kissing me, or that he only did it because he felt li

"So..." Talia crooned, wiggling her eyebrows. "How has it been? Did you manage to make my dumb cousin fall for you yet?"I chuckled and shook my head. “It's only been a month, T."She shrugged. "Have you fucked him, at least? That's probably the easiest way to get to his heart."My cheeks heated up as I thought back to the way he felt inside me, the way he touched me."Oh my god, you have!"I threw her a warning look."Do you really want to hear about me sleeping with your cousin brother?"She rolled her eyes. “Hell no. I didn't ask you for details. I just wanted to know whether you'd done it yet or not. What should we call this? Operation Honey Trap?"I chuckled and shook my head. “No. This one is Operation Happily Ever After.""Awwww," she gushed. "I love that. Look at you, Elena, being all romantic and shit. Do you finally get the appeal?"I shrugged. I would never admit to her that I do. Talia was probably the most romantic person I had ever met, and if she wasn't working her ass

I smiled at my phone as I typed out the message accompanying the wedding photo I was about to post.This was the one thing I never thought I'd get to have with Richard, but it was something I had always wanted. Everything about this felt so surreal, I had to pinch myself several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.Something has changed between us ever since we got married. There used to be an invisible barrier between us, but it disappeared the moment I walked down that aisle.This version of him was the one I fell for, so many years ago. He finally felt within reach, and there was no way I was going to let this chance pass me by. I loved my sister with all my heart, but I would never sacrifice another moment of my own happiness for her. Especially not when she had it all and chose to walk away.I was grinning to myself as I posted the picture seconds after Richard's announcement went live. I picked a photo of Richard kissing me on our wedding day, and I had no doubt it would go vir

Go to her, like you always do. Elena's words kept resounding through my mind as I walked into the living room. How do I take away her insecurities? I couldn't erase the years worth of memories she had of Sarah and me."Richard!"My blood ran cold at the sound of Sarah's voice, a semblance of guilt settling in the pit of my stomach. She was the woman I had always loved, yet now I couldn't look at her without thinking of Elena."Sarah, what are you doing here?”She looked up at me with tears in her eyes, her expression portraying genuine heartache as she held up her phone. “What is this? You kissed her?"I glanced at the wedding photo Elena posted of us, remembering the moment vividly. Everything about our wedding was fake, but that moment was real, and it was ours.A tear rolled down Sarah's cheek and I walked up to her, unsure what to do. She and I had so much history, and I didn't want to hurt her unnecessarily."Sarah," I murmured. “Don't cry, please. It was our wedding day, Sarah."
