All Chapters of My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

~Gerald~It took three days before I was finally able to get out of bed without my head feeling like it was going to fall off my neck.“What did you find?” I asked Elvis on the phone, walking into the house after spending the whole day outside.“I’m afraid we found nothing, boss. All the other junkyards are either still in use or empty. Also, there's no trace of Angel.”I took off my jacket and threw it on the sofa. “Find him! It’s been three days already. I have already run out of lies to tell Henny and Sabrina. The longer she stays with Angel, the more nothing makes sense!”After hanging up the phone, I stood still in the middle of the living room. The house felt so empty with Rosemary not in it. For the first time in a long time, I felt so alone.“Come on, Dine,” I said when I went upstairs and saw Rosemary’s cat, purring and scratching her bedroom door.I picked him up and stroked his fur. “I miss her too, but she’s not in here.”My heart felt extremely heavy as I walked into the

~Rosemary~Oh, no!My hand trembled as I pulled it away from Angel’s face. I held my breath again when I saw the red palmprint on his cheek.What did I just do?Angel slowly looked at me. His hand slipped off my waist. Still looking at me, he pressed his jaw.When I heard a cracking sound it made, I shuffled back.Why did you do that? Rosemary!!!“I’m sorry. I didn't... I didn't mean to slap--”Before I could finish my apology, Angel turned away and walked out the door. I heard the rattling of keys afterward.What just happened?I stood fixed on the spot, staring at the closed door. Why didn't he react? I just slapped him, didn't I?Biting my fingernails, I went back to sit on the bed. I kept going over the moment I slapped him. His eyes hadn't darkened like I expected, but he had frowned. I expected him to strangle me. But he didn't. Why?*****The next morning, I woke up at the sound of rattling keys. I had fallen asleep while sitting. So, it was no surprise that my back ached li

~Gerald~“Boss, I was just about to call you.”“Speak,” I said, pressing my phone on my ear.Elvis took a deep breath before replying, “The operation went on smoothly. The cops are currently in the drug house. Some of Angel’s men and the workers managed to escape, but a few others were arrested because our men bundled them up.”“Good, good,” I muttered. “Did you leave the message I told you to?”“Yes, Boss. I just sent you the photo.”At that statement, I moved the phone away from my ear and opened the latest email Elvis sent me. I smirked, looking at the inscription of the letter G on a heap of cocaine on the floor.After my last call with Angel, I knew that he was going to capitalize on my weakness and that wasn't going to be good for both me and Rosemary. I decided to strike him where it’s gonna hurt. So when Elvis found one of the drug houses that Angel’s mafia was commissioned to protect earlier today, I instructed him to send some of the men there. They tore the whole place do

~Gerald“Get closer!” I commanded Elvis, the binoculars still over my eyes.Elvis shouted back, “Hold on tight, boss!”I did as instructed. The chopper slanted a little and picked momentum. I took a deep breath as the distance between us and the ship got shorter and shorter.“Keep it steady now! I think we are close enough!”As soon as I said that, Elvis steadied the chopper. I took out the small megaphone from a compartment and spoke right into it. “Come out, you bastard!”“I know you are in there!” I added, staring down at the deck of the ship.A couple of seconds later, a tall and muscular figure appeared. He was holding a megaphone too. “Oh, Gerald. Now I am not sure you love your wife like you claim you do. How can you come out here after everything I told you?”“Let her go!”“Tsk, tsk, tsk! How many times do I have to tell you that it doesn't work that way?” Angel asked, shoving one hand in his pocket as he walked to the railing. I shouted louder, “I am not going to leave here

~Rosemary~“You could have gotten yourself killed!” I buried my face in his cheek. “But I am so happy to see you, Ger. I missed you so much.”He squeezed me tighter. “I missed you too.”I cried like a baby as we held onto each other. Although the atmosphere was still very cold, I felt warmth from the inside out.Just a few minutes ago, I thought I was going to die. But here I was in the arms of the man I loved the most. And he risked his life for me.“Thank you, Ger. Thank—”“Shhh… I did this for us. How could I live with you in captivity?”I held on to his shirt as he pulled back. When he looked at me, I smiled through the tears.“Let’s get you out of here. It’s still not safe.”“You are hurt!” I exclaimed when I noticed the bloodstains on both of his shoulders.“It's nothing. One of the bullets went through. I will get the other one out soon, so don't worry.”“Oh, my God!” I covered my mouth, staring at one of the wounds. “I am sorry.”“Don’t be. I should be the one saying sorry.”H
