All Chapters of The Untamed Billionaire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

May’s POVToday was our two-year anniversary. He said he had something for me, and my own surprise for him was a full table of his favorites.The timer chimed, signaling that the pecan pie I had been baking was ready. I grabbed the mitts behind me and carefully pulled it out, setting it on the counter to cool, the sweet aroma filling the kitchen. Even though Asher might take a while to return from the office, I couldn’t help but hurry because I was eager to be washed and dressed before his arrival. I didn’t think getting him a gift would be okay because, to be honest, I had no idea what to get for someone who owns everything. I just knew cooking a romantic dinner, with flower petals scattered and candlelight lit around us, seemed like the best way to make today memorable.Our marriage wasn’t the natural bond between two people in love. He needed a wife back then, and my father needed money. Well, my step-father. This was the base of my marriage, a trade. I didn’t want it, I didn’t ha

May’s POV I think with my heart first, before my head, and that’s why I’m here right now, running the errand Asher sent his butler. This morning, when Asher had called the house and asked the butler to bring him some files he had left at home, I had thought it was better to use the opportunity. As soon as the taxi dropped me in front of Asher’s building, I walked to the executive elevator that would take me to his floor, not getting stopped because the security guys knew who I was. Although, I wasn’t too sure I might be welcomed like this with all the bows if they knew their boss was trying to divorce me. Stepping off the elevator, I made my way to Asher’s office at the far end of the floor, with the file I had brought in my hand. Asher shared this floor with three executives and some employees that worked for each of them, so it was a filled floor as opposed to the normal secluded floors CEOs used. Swallowing my nerves as I walked down the hall to his office, I thought of how

May’s POVThe first thing I did as I walked out of the interview room on the third floor of Keith Industries, was grab my phone from my bag to turn it on. I had to turn it off the moment I walked into the building.Mom has been calling me these days, because my stepfather needed some money. I shook my head as I remembered it, making me grimace. I realized she wasn’t in on what was going on, and my stepfather had probably complained to her and asked her to ask me for help. What a twisted way of asking me to give in to what he and my husband wanted. But it was what prompted me to come for this interview. If he needed help, then maybe if I got a job to help him myself, he wouldn’t be so bent on trying to force my hand. Using my mother to ask me for money was really low, even for him. He knew I would do anything for her, for my sister, their daughter. Aside from that, I knew I had to get a job sooner than later. I’ve realized Asher didn’t respect me because I wasn’t financially indepe

May’s POVI should be happy, but I’m not. It was as if I had no reason to, even though I got a job and I was starting today. What was I to be happy about, after everything that had happened in the short period since Asher and I's second year anniversary. Things had been downhill since, but the shocker was the way my stepfather’s company went broke just after losing that business deal, one I was convinced was Asher’s doing. I just couldn’t believe he would do such a thing just to get back at me, and I felt so sad and betrayed.After I had gone to that man to try getting him back the business deal he lost because of me, he had been so angry he had left the house, and then, he had stopped picking my calls. As if those weren’t enough to break my heart, I had seen him with another woman and when I asked him who she was, he had told me it wasn’t my business. If anyone told me all these would happen in the space of those short periods, I would be amazed. Shaking my head to get the thought

May’s POVI had turned all night long after the exchange with Asher in the kitchen, coupled with being drenched from the rain, I had felt so sick I didn’t think I would be able to get out of bed this morning.I had eaten dinner alone because Asher had left the house after that and I had not heard anything from him since then. That was his way though, going out without informing me, acting like I didn’t matter and I wasn’t someone he could call to let know where he was or how his day was going.And all I ever did to deserve this was to be married to him, and tried as much as I could to show him that I cared. To him, every thing he saw was fake because he had tagged me a gold digger. Whatever got I was digging though, I hadn’t turned a millionaire from it, because if that was truly who I was, I sure would have taken the money he offered me just to sign the divorce papers.As I thought about that again, my heart tightened and I felt the corner of my eyes wet with tears that leaked from t
