All Chapters of The Billionaire's Fake Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lily was not just stunned, but she was also speechless.“What are you doing here? How did you get in here?” Lily asked in a rasped breath.For crying out loud, Hedge was in her bedroom, and this could spell doom for Lily; she certainly could not risk that at all, because if she got caught, it would be more tragic than she ever dreamed of.“To see you, my lover,” Hedge said lustily, licking his lips.Lily almost puked when he did that, and for the life of her, she could not imagine what Ashley could possible see in a man like Hedge. Judging from her escapades, Lily felt that Ashley should have better taste and choices when it came to lovers. Lily’s breath almost caught in her throat when Hedge walked into the room and gently closed the door.“What?!” Lily was alarmed. She immediately went to the door and yanked it open. “Do you want to ruin things for me?” Lily asked.Her heart was beating, and although it had something to do with the risk of being caught in her bedroom with a man. It

Lily was foolish to think that Emily would have answered the question that she asked, but now, Lily could not stop thinking about what Hedge said, and she could not stop wondering what they had forced Ashley to do.“I need to know,” Lily said to herself.Lily spent the entire day dreading what was to come, because coupled with thinking about what they might have forced Ashley to do, she still had to worry about Emily’s threat. More than ever before, Lily knew that it wasn’t an empty threat. They were two money-hungry people who could do something as terrible as looking for someone to impersonate their dead daughter when they could have easily just told Christopher that his bride was dead.Lily almost jumped out of her skin when Christopher came into the house in the evening. She was surprised that he came back this early, because usually, he came home at almost midnight. What could have possibly made him come back this early?“Welcome,” Lily said.“We need to talk,” Christopher said g

Christopher could not get over what happened recently. It had been two days now, and Ashley was yet to produce the money she stole from him. He had noticed something was off right from their wedding day, but he could not exactly pinpoint him. Ashley was always acting off, and then there were the nights that she battled with troubled sleep when they shared a room together. Although Christopher had never spent the night with Ashley Grander prior to their wedding day, he knew that she was just not that person to be troubled by sleep. It was evident that she was fighting demons of her own, and Christopher knew this, because he also had demons of his own that he wrestled with every now and then.He knew that Ashley was wild and rugged, but a thief? That was just something he didn’t expect she would do, because it didn’t seem like Ashley’s personality. Anyway, Christopher decided that he would pay Don Grander a visit, because something was off, and Christopher was beginning to have this uns

Christopher left the office with the intention of confronting Don Grander. He already knew that Don Grander would be at the men’s club wasting his time away, and he went straight there. Christopher could tolerate anything, but being fooled was not one of them.When Christopher arrived at the men’s club, his phone rang before he could step out of his car. Christopher looked at the screen and saw that it was Aimee Landon.“Aimee, what is it?” Christopher asked instantly. He did not want to waste any time talking on the phone.“I just wanted to let you know that the date for the interview has been fixed, and the questions your interviewer would ask are ready,” Aimee informed Christopher over the phone.“What about Ashley, are her questions ready as well? I don’t want any mistakes, Aimee,” Christopher stated firmly.“Yes, they are, sir,” Aimee answered. “I will send them to your email. You have about a day to go through them, and if there are any questions you would like her to change, c

Christopher just kept ruminating over that very day on his father’s funeral. Maybe if he had stood his ground and firmly said no, or better still, fight against the agreement in court, he would probably not be in this situation in the first place. Christopher could not explain how much he hated Don Grander, way before now, and to think that he would be his father-in-law for one year was too excruciating to bear.Christopher wanted to scream.That particular day had been the beginning of his problems, and now he felt like a fool for succumbing to it even though Benedict showed a legal agreement between his father and Don Grander.Christopher arrived home a couple of minutes later. He would ask Ashley to return to the bedroom they were supposed to be sharing, so that he could have access to do his own personal investigation on her.“Welcome back, Mr. Christopher,” Maggie greeted Christopher.The way she stood indicated that she had been waiting for him for a while now, and he wondered
