All Chapters of The Billionaire's Temporary Wife: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

My heart took a sharp little turn in my chest.My reactions to him were unexpected and unwanted.I couldn’t explain how he made me feel.It was overwhelming.I was excited, agitated,electrified,conflicted,stimulated,distressed.He moved forward,one arm coming around my waist and the other around my back.I slowly held onto him,my blood pounding through my veins.My heart trying to pound out of my chest.This was so distressing.Loving this man had dragged me down into the dirt yet all I could wish for right now was what we had together…everything we had together.I wanted it all back.I wanted to go back to that time six years ago and relived it over and over again.I stared up at him.God he was dazzling.He pulled me closer to his body,that played havoc on my hormones.We moved to the slow,rhythmic music.It was paradise.But even so because he kept staring into my eyes.I recalled dancing with him on the yacht.And the several times I had danced with him at functions.I could still reme

I looked up at Ben,surprised.“What are you doing?”Wasn’t it obvious?“Setting fire on the chimney.It’s cold.”I pointed out.“Don’t…you can’t.”I frowned,standing up to face him.“I know how to put on a chimney.”I said to him.Even if he wanted to help me light it up,he doesn’t have to look all tensed.Was he worried that I’d accidentally scald myself?I blushed recalling how delicately he used to treat me.Even if I felt it was too delicate,I had enjoyed being treated like an egg.I shut my eyes,briefly.Focus,Maliyah.Focus.I stared at him again and he wasn’t making any move to light the chimney.Instead,he looked…nervous?“Is something wrong?”“Nothing.I…I just don’t want us to light anything in this room.”I blinked.”Why?”He looked around as if searching for an excuse.“This…this place is old so the chimney caps and chase covers might be bad.You might not be able to use it as it’s raining.”I looked into the chimney,there wasn’t a sign of any water dripping on it.“There’s no l

*MALIYAH*Long after Madam Valentina left,I was still sitting there.I recalled how flabbergasted he had looked when he saw me for the first time in that conference hall.*Can I have a word with you,please?Alone?**Maliyah, I’m sorry.I’m deeply sorry.I…I know this is about what happened before the accident.I didn’t mean that,I just wanted to…*I had always thought he was apologizing for getting rid of me.*Maliyah,it’s me, Ben.Please talk to me…I won’t take much of your time.*But I didn’t give him any second of my time.When he followed me to the mall.He had been desperately trying to explain everything to me.*I know you’re angry and you have every right to be.I really do not mean to keep making you uncomfortable.But anyone in my shoes will be as worked up as I have been for the past few days.I thought you died.I was…I was…*When he came to Timothy’s house,how he kept begging restlessly to talk to me.I couldn’t sit here anymore…I hurried out of the restaurant.I didn’t go back to

*BENNETT*“Are you serious right now?Tell me you’re joking because I can’t believe Leah just told me you’re going camping?”Logan queried over the phone.I sighed.”Yeah.I’m going.”“Do you know how dangerous that is for you?There’ll be campfire or bonfire,barbecue stand and the likes!You know,it’s as if the more I try to help you,the more damage you wanna do to yourself!”“I’m already damaged,Logan.And it’s high time you accept that and stop fruitlessly trying to help.”I snapped.He was quiet for a moment.”Ben,you can’t go camping.”“I want to.”“Why?”“Maliyah will be there.I want to see her.”“Oh God.You could see her next week.”“It’s almost over,Logan.Soon,she’ll stop coming to my company and I won’t get to see her again.I just wanna to see her as much as I can before it ends.”“This is frustrating.You want to see her all the time and at the same time,you do not want to make a move on her.There could be a chance that she still loves you.”“For her sake,I hope she doesn’t.I already

Ben quickly stood and helped her up.“Are you okay?”He asked,making her sit on the deck chair.“It hurts.”She cried out.I scoffed,it seemed as if she was pretending.“Where?”He asked.“My ankle.I think I sprained it…ahh.”Yeah,she was obviously faking it.He held her leg and she started to cry.“It hurts so bad…my bone might be broken.”Seriously?Ben quickly reached out for his cellphone.“What are you doing?”“Calling Logan.There should be an hospital close by.He could take you there to get treated,you should go home after that,”“No.”She quickly took the phone from him.”It’s not that serious.I think a little massage will do.”She let out,trying to look as pitiful as possible.God,she was such a good actress and he was buying it.My teeth clenched watching him kneel before her.“Here?”He asked,rubbing a spot on her ankle.“Yes, there.”She replied and then he started to massage her foot.I couldn’t bear to watch.“I hope your ankle gets better soon,Leah.”I said between clenched teeth
