All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Mistress Contracted Wife: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Valerie’s POVI sat in stunned silence, my mind reeling in sheer disbelief. She. I could hear Jasmine's words but wasn't registering them. To think that I had inherited an absolute fortune, a life-altering fortune was unbelievable, a dream from which I hadn't woken. I stared at Jasmine, who continued to beam at me.You… you're serious?" I stuttered, trying to get my voice out. "I mean, this isn't some kind of joke, is it?" "I… I don't know what to say," I finally whispered, my hands shaking a little. "This is… unbelievable.Jasmine leaned forward and took her hand. "I understand, I get it's a lot to swallow. But I wouldn't be here telling you this if it weren't the case. In fact." She paused, looking to the door with that sparkle of mischief dancing in her eyes. "I brought someone with me who can help prove it.The door creaked open before I had time to answer, and a tall man in a sharp suit stepped inside. His dark hair slicked back, he held a briefcase in his hand."Good aftern

Drake’s POVMy drive home was in silence, an uneasy silence. Familiar streets blurred past me, but my mind swirled with images of Valerie, the remnants of her touch, and the look in her eyes as they stared upward at me with that mingling of longing and sorrow. That left me with a sense of unease, torn between duty and desire.It wasn't until I finally pulled into the driveway that I took a deep breath, attempting to shake off remnants of the afternoon. I had a life here, one with Charlotte, and I needed to face it one way or another.I stepped inside, the lights were low, candles flickering along the hall. The air was heavy with roses, and some soft, melodic tune was playing from deeper inside. I frowned, off balance in the atmosphere. Charlotte usually kept things plain. This was different, deliberately romantic.I entered the bedroom, and there she stood in the middle of the room. She was dressed in a silk robe clinging to her form, with hair loose over the shoulders. She looked i

Valerie's POV I waited until she stood up from the girl with a smile and took a few more steps before I followed again. The sight of that smile was unsettling. It was…nice. As if she could feel my discomfort and surprise, Charlotte looked behind her and I quickly hid, praying she hadn't seen me.When I didn't hear her shout or footsteps approaching, I peeked again and she was already moving. I followed silently and watched as she looked behind her again before entering the building. It was daytime, but from my position, I couldn't really see much of the inside of the building. I was able to glimpse a young woman standing there, though. I moved closer and watched their interaction. They acted familiar, and although I strained to hear it, their conversation was low and then Charlotte handed the child over and turned back, her face blank and unreadable. I quickly blended my back to the wall. I wanted to confirm if the child had gone willingly, but I was stuck. I debated running back

Drake's POV The meeting I had with the boards had dragged longer than I had wanted or it should have been. My head was still throbbing and I just wanted to end any more words of arguments and numbers and even projections. I was tired beyond words and just as the meeting ended, I found myself bolting out of the conference room immediately, I didn't even wait for anyone. I hadn't gone far when I heard behind me. “Drake, would you like to come with us for some drinks?" I was asked But I just waved them off then turned back and continued out of the room. “I can't, not tonight. Maybe next time,” I added before walking totally out of the room. As much as I needed a drink, it wasn't in the company of more suits and conversation that could drift to work again and I wasn't interested in sitting with anyone to dialogue or converse. I just wanted to clear my head and in doing that, I will need something stronger than my friends and colleagues would have suggested. As I drove, I eagerly look

Drake's POV As twisted and complicated as it were I got into my car and revved my way through the blurred yet familiar streets.My knuckles tightened as I grabbed onto the wheels, thoughts swirling through my mind.If Charlotte wasn't at her family's company, then were else could she had drifted to after the confrontation. Was she scared that ur would played out according to her sole expectations? What was rampaging through her mind when I saw that spark of deciet before I blacked out last night. What is she up to and why does she want to ruin herself and my reputation by vanishing off sight.I arrived at my apartment in a jiffy. I turned off the engine,my anger rising to a thousand degrees and rushed into the house,my eyes darted around the house with hopes of catching a slight glimpse of Charlotte. But there was none. I ran my fingers through my hair trying to calm the fiery rage planning to explode out of me.My thoughts wandered to Valerie. Suddenly acting cold and giving off t
