All Chapters of The Billionaire's Temporary Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“She’s the daughter of a nobody?”Caleb asked,surprised.He was on the phone with one of his private investigators.“You mean to tell me her family isn’t well-known?”He asked again.“They aren’t.”He scoffed.This is bullshit.The Bennett he knows will not settle down with a nobody.He recalled one of the family dinners they had at Madam Valentina’s house some years back.Bennett had been questioned about his choice of a life partner and he simply said he wanted someone from the high society like he was,someone from a wealthy family whose social status will equally strengthen his.So why will he go against his perfectly planned-out life?“There’s more,sir.”“More?”“His wife was a maid at Madam Valentina’s house.”Caleb smirked finally getting the picture.He knew that marriage wasn’t real at all.Now he just had to get concrete evidence on what his mother and Bennett had going on.Seems he would have to pay his mother a visit.*********************MALIYAH*After being in this room for

*BENNETT*The hall had fallen silent and everyone was staring at my wife and I in horror.To say I’m furious and embarrassed right now is an understatement.And for someone like me,people will not easily turn a blind eye to it.Hell,I can hear some cameras clicking around me.I quickly pulled myself together and signaled some of my men to come over.“Get someone to take care of this.”I gestured at the floor.”And try to stop people from taking pictures.”Three of them quickly hurried off to join the others who had acted swiftly.”They’ve might have taken bunch of it already so be alert to take it down from the internet.”I instructed.Knowing this was still going to be on the headlines tomorrow,I carried my drunk wife into my arms and walked out of the hall.In the car,she was leaning against the window while I was sitting there wondering what to do with her.Should I get a divorce from her already?Maybe Mr Da Silva might understand that I did try to get married.I really tried to stay m

Logan eyed me.”Fine.A sex dream about someone.I can only speak for myself.When that happened to me,it was because I found her insanely attractive.”I gulped.”What if you don’t want to find her attractive?”He grimaced.”You could try to focus more on her flaws.On her bad side.Perhaps,that might make you think of her less.”“This is not about me.”I clarified once more.Logan smiled,cheekily and nodded.******************The following morning,Caleb walked into Madam Valentina’s house,gracefully.Madam Valentina who had just finished having breakfast was relaxing in the living room when she caught sight of her least favorite child.“Hello,mother.”Caleb began,leaning down to kiss her on the cheek.“I’m sorry I’ve not come by to visit for a while now.You must understand that it’s hard helping Ben to manage our family’s Empire.”Madam Valentina wanted to laugh.Helping,her foot.Caleb slowly sat beside her.”As a part of this family,I believe I have the right to know everything.What’s this d

*BENNETT*Each passing day since I met Maliyah,it feels as if I’m rediscovering a part of myself I didn’t know existed.Comforting someone had never been my thing.I don’t even know how to.But with Maliyah,I just have to.I keep saying everything that comes into my brain trying desperately to make her feel better.This is someone I shouldn’t give a fuck about.And again,thinking she might go up to her room and get all saddened again,I turned to face her and suggested.“Will you like to have dinner with me?”She was sitting on the sofa now and she stared at me with those beautiful eyes of hers and nodded.******************Maliyah and I at the dining room now,eating quietly.“How was work today?”“You find it real hard to stay quiet.”I let out.She shrugged.”Quiet is boring.”“You do not want to listen to me talk about work.Trust me,it will bore you out.”“Does it bore you?Your work I mean?”I glanced at her.”At first,yes.But I guess I got to like how challenging it was.I’m a very compe

*MALIYAH*I headed out of the hospital,dejectedly with a cheek that felt like it was on fire.As I stood outside the hospital,I was filled with so many thoughts.What could have…who could have done that to him?I didn’t do it so it meant someone else did.I recalled the watch incident.Someone clearly has it in for me.What could be their purpose?I mean,am I the target or is Ben the target?Afterall,what keeps happening causes more pain to him than to me.I mean,his favorite watch was destroyed and now this.But at the end,I’m meant to take the blame for it.I just can’t understand why this keeps happening.Thinking about how pained he looked at the dining room made me feel so terrible.He was practically struggling to breathe.He didn’t deserve that.And it felt so devastating that he was going to think I did it.What is going to happen now?Was he going to kick me out of his house?The thought of not seeing him again hurt more than it should.I couldn’t bear to leave the hospital.I
