Semua Bab The billionaire’s rented bride: Bab 21 - Bab 30

SOPHIA LANGFORD I wasn't dreaming! Levi Banks really seemed so serious about ending the contract!! What the hell! Fine, we might be in an unpleasant situation now, but I wasn't ready to leave his life yet. I'd grown so used to being his wife!. Isn't the fondness mutual anymore?.. I stared at his sideview as he fixed his full attention on the road, sparing me no glance, not even one!.. How could someone be this stubborn?! These days, I've really seen a completely different side of the lovely man I married and most times, I find myself wondering how worse the implication of my pregnancy for Ethan is for him that made him change this much.. Sighs.. Right in my head, I badly wanted to say “Are you for real?We have about one month remaining and you're cutting it short just like that?!”... Or even “Isn't our marriage so important to you in the business world? Why

LEVI BANKS I arrived at my destination after about twenty minutes of the cool ride and as expected, the building was surrounded by bodyguards in the usual black uniform. I received a salute from them in unison, before going in.. “Was thinking you'd send secretary J. over, I was told you'll be at a summit” Xing got up on sighting me, smiling as he spoke in his typical Chinese accent. The other team stood on their feet too while I returned the smile, walking over to Xing to receive his handshake. “I intentionally decided to come myself, my wife is currently representing me at the summit" I informed. “I thought men of nowadays don't like to stress their wives” one of the team members said and we all giggled “Sophia is so supportive you know” I replied with a sweet smile as we all settled.. “I'm sure she'll be pregnant by now, the wedding was two months ago and your lovey dovey moves have been all ov

JESSICA FINN I couldn't help being so mad at Levi when I found out that he got represented by Sophia at the summit. Yes! I saw the damn pictures she took with the executives on the business page. She was his wife, yes, but why would she be the one representing him and not me?! Why exactly?!!! “Fuck!” I cussed, swallowing hard as I reminisced on her words to me when she applied to be a rented bride and we met physically with the other applicants. “Please ma'am, this job opportunity will help my family from poverty and debts. Please help me" she had pleaded even after having necessary qualities Levi told me he wanted. “I shouldn't have picked her!” I spoke regretfully. “Honestly, you'll injure yourself Jessica. Forget about it!” Lena, my best friend yelled. We actually live together in the same apartment but each time she has a delivery to make outside the country or state

SOPHIA LANGFORD “.. And what on earth am I going to gain from lying?” Ethan demanded, questioning my confrontation. “Levi can't kill and we both know that!” I emphasised, literally repeating this statement for the umpteenth time today. “Well, there's always a first time for everything,” Ethan shrugged. I couldn't help being stunned.. “It's all over the business group and you don't expect me not to hear information regarding the downfall of my rival.. I have most cops wrapped at the tip of my fingers you know” Ethan smirked. “Levi will never have a downfall!” I declared. “Well, he has started having one already. A murder case is a big deal for even a billionaire” he asserted. I folded my sweaty palms, still not believing him totally.. Maybe he was only saying that to make me remain in his house. “Staying here to listen to trash is just a waste of time” I muttered.. And so,

JESSICA FINN “You proposed to work with me Jessica, I didn't force you!" Ethan's words came in a raised voice when I challenged him for implicating Levi, whom he knew I loved. I was quite mad at him.. I mean, so mad! All he ought to do was things that would cause their separation as soon as possible, not things that would implicate him! “My sole intention was for you to help me get Sophia out of the way after I knew of her pregnancy for you. I knew you would want her and I needed to take advantage of things!” I yelled back “Levi is my greatest rival” I heard him mutter. “I know but is winning Sophia not enough to hurt him and taunt him for life? You can't bring down his grandpa's company too! He has no bad intentions against you so why can't you focus on getting just Sophia!" I lamented! He exhaled deeply. “Xing deserved the poisoning. He cheated me so I made him the victim while
