All Chapters of The Billionaire's Borrowed bride: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

RUSSELL'S POVI knew that abandoning her when I had literally been the one who cajoled her into my bed was a jerk move but Charlie’s call coming in when it did seemed to have been an eye opener for me.It was like a confirmation of all the things that Elisa had been trying to tell me which were the very things that I had been trying my hardest to ignore, but not anymore.I wasn’t quite sure when my attraction towards Elisa began, but one day I was offering her a job at my company and the next I was asking her to get into a contract marriage with me. Between now and then, the only thing I could really say for sure was that there isn’t a single day that passes by when I don’t think about her, when I don’t miss her, when I don’t wish she was right next to me.It didn’t matter if she was in the same room as me or if she was thousands of miles away, she always found a way to creep up into my thoughts without even trying. Before now, I had been very good at finding ways to keep these feelin

Ever since i was a little girl, i had always dreamed about how i wanted my wedding to be. I dreamed of wearing the prettiest dress and the shinniest tiara as my daddy walked me down the aisle. I would look like a princess, wearing the brightest smile as i walked towards the alter to meet my prince charming. That fantasy felt like such a distant memory. In my childhood fantasies, i never imagined that i was going to be walking down an aisle while being a 3 months. But here i was. Turns out there was going to be no walking down any aisle at all, except for the long corridor that led up to the magistrate court where we were to sign the legal documents that would bind Russell and I as a married couple. Yesterday, when Russell asked me to meet him at surfs cafe to discuss the details of the marriage, i was a little surprised. "Why the rush all of a sudden?" I asked. "Well unfortunately." He replied grimly, "The shareholders meeting has been brought forward. Its happening in 2

“I told you every thing was going to work out for the best right?”“That you did, that you did.” He replied, taking a swig from his bottle while I took a swig from my fruit juice. By now, the bottles were almost empty but apparently, Russell had reserves, another bottle of wine and another carton of fruit juice were seated on the round table by the corner and once we exhausted the first one, Russel was quick to open the other.“You really weren’t planning on returning back to the party anytime soon were you? I asked Russell.“Nope.” He replied truthfully. “I was planning to spend the night all alone, drinking wine and staring at the beautiful night sky.”“I mean the sky Is beautiful.” I pointed out. “But come on, there was no was no way you planned to finish two bottles of red all on your own.”“Not really. I was hoping that a young and beautiful woman named Elisa would join me and keep me company while I tried.”“Oh please.”I replied, shoving him playfully and we both laughed.“You

While everyone else was blissfully clueless about the cetemony that was to be held the nexy day, I already had all the information so it didn't come as much of a shock to me as it did for them. i was just happy that i didn't have to do any office work because in as much as i didn't want to admit it, the pregnancy was really starting to take its toll on my strength and with all the stress from the wedding, i needed more than one day of rest. It was just too bad that Ms. Jenny already had a bunch of ice things to say about my plenty off days, and since i apparently managed to get into get into her good books i wasn't ready to get out of it just yet. The plan was to wait until it was time for my maternity leave. When it was eventually time for the ceremony to begin, i found myself getting anxious to see Russell in his moment of greatness. He had done so much, worked so hard to get to where he was and it was honestly an honor to be a part of it. As he walked across the stage to give hi

“Friends huh?” Russell asked with what I could only assume was an underlying meaning hidden somewhere. He didn’t say anything but he was definitely implying something, and I refused to let Russell come in between me and the most precious friendship I had found ever since I started working at NNT. Jason was a gift from God to me, and I would be damned before I let Russell or anyone else for that matter destroy what we shared simply because he was feeling a little…a little…I don’t even know what he was feeling to be quite honest, but whatever it was, I could only hope that he found a way to fix it before it grew into something that none of us would be able to contain.“Yes ...” replied, choosing to ignore whatever underlying meanings lay hidden behind his words. “In fact, Jason is much more than a friend to me. He is the perfect companion, and so much more.”“Oh really?” Russell asked even though the sound of his voice suggested that he would rather talk about the latest trends in the f
