All Chapters of HIRE A HUSBAND : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Wade The door to Marianna’s room where we sleep opened briefly before shutting with soft click but I didn’t bother to raise my head from the papers which I was looking through. Everybody knows better than to step into Marianna’s room and deal with her ‘uncouth’ husband. In fact the only person who would dare to step into her room would be Marianna herself. I ignored the door and my wife for now. In as much as I would like to pay special attention to my wife and not her step mother but that woman has been stepping on my nerves recently so I needed to pay her a little attention. One which would serve as a reminder that my wife now has someone who would go to war for her. One who was only held back by his wife words. Now if only I can see the connection between the payments and the financing, I know that there was something extra going on but I cannot see it. Marianna’s warm touch burst through my body like an electric shock as she brush against me while leaning to see what was t

I felt my heart sink further in my chest with each passing hour. It didn't help that we were all scattered outside the emergency room, watching doctors and nurses mill about without once glancing in our direction. It had been five hours already, five long dreadful hours of endless pacing and agitation. I was learning new things today— that I could feel so strongly for another person, that I, Wade could feel something akin to anxiety. To make matters worse, there was absolutely nothing I could do for her. I couldn't exactly order specialists to be flown in from all over the world to attend to her, neither could I order for her to be moved to the VIP ward. All that money sitting in my back account and yet, the only thing I could do was pace and hope. If anything happened to Marianna, if anything... My thoughts were disrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. It was a doctor on purple scrubs and a short white coat. His mouth was set in a thin line and his hair was disheveled, giv

I hated being here just as much as I hated being in Marianna's family house. But at least I could have fun there by engaging those fools in a drawn out battle that I would eventually win. Here, it was always the same old. The too high, white walls, the endless grounds that stretched for miles and miles, the fountain that spat water with a solemn serenity. The stillness. It was easy to become immersed in a world far removed from reality here. I sighed as I stared up at the gigantic black gates with the roaring lion head sculpted on top before I pressed the intercom. An automated voice inquired of my identity and after flashing my ID at the cameras and stating my name, the gates rolled aside to reveal the edifice within its confines. Nothing, absolutely nothing had changed. My Bugatti Centodieci was still parked in the driveway exactly as I had left it. The guards on their black three piece suits were still scattered all over the grounds, staring directly ahead without once blinking

I ran my fingers through the lush fullness of her hair. It felt silky and soft, but there were other soft places I wanted to place my hands on, to feel and to caress. I gently angled her neck and swooped down on her lips, tasting the bliss in her tongue and her lips. I bit down on her lower lip, lingering for a moment to get lost in the moment and she let out a low moan. It felt like music to my ears. "Wade." She breathed and the world fell away at my feet. This was heaven. I knew in that moment that there was no use holding myself back anymore, pretending that my gazes didn't linger on her lips, her chest, her waist, acting like I didn't want her so desperately that it hurt. I ripped off my shirt with a ferocity that surprised even me while she circled her arms around my neck and stepped backwards until she was backed up against the wall. I abandoned my vain attempt at undoing the belt on my pants and went for her dress. It was easy to take off because it was strapless and I watc

MARIANNAThe loud burst of murmurings surrounded me and I stood beside Wade, unsure what to say or do. I turned to look at his face, to check for a hint of humor, but there was none. He was dead serious. "Wait... Wait..." I lifted a hand to calm the surrounding chaos but the noise did not quieten down until Wade brought a hand down heavily on a nearby table. A hush fell over the staff immediately as they turned their eyes back on him. "Like I said just now, you're fired. Please clear out your desks." He reiterated, his gaze lingering especially on Mr. Hawthorn. "Wade, I need a moment with you." I said as quietly as I could manage. I expertly avoided the stricken faces of my employees and led him into my office. It was one thing to want to help me but firing my staff was an entirely different thing. "Don't you think you're going too far?" I asked barely waiting for him to shut the door behind him. "No, I don't think so." He took his seat on the sofa directly in front of my work d
