THE SECOND WIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE

CARA’S P.O.V I took the last dress from my wardrobe, neatly folded it and placed it into my suitcase. With half my suitcase being empty, I scanned around my room to see if there was anything that I would have forgotten but in my tiny room that barely had anything except a small mirror and a little table in front of it, on which I kept my hairbrush and a cupboard that I kept my five dresses confirmed that there was nothing that I could possibly forget. I zipped up my suitcase and closed my room door. I stopped to look at the photo which hung on our short passage, one last time, hoping that the image will engrave itself in my memory. It was a picture of my Mum, Dad, sister and I. Although we just managed three meals a day, we were happy and the smiles on this photo was proof. My Dad worked hard to feed us and he made sure to get mum her medication. If he was still alive, I would have done my last year in medical college this year but unfortunately for us, my father was

CARA’S P.O.V“Wake up Cara! You are already late! Look at the time!!! Do you think that you are on vacation or something?” Lily shouted so loud that I fell off the bed. “I’m awake! I’m awake!” I said, rubbing the back of my head that hit on the pedestal which was next to my bed. “It’s 4 am. I was told that work starts at 7 am and everyone else is still sleeping” I reasoned, my eyes still heavy. “Yes, well Mr. La’vardo wants you to be his personal maid. Hence, you need to be up and ready before he is. Now not another word out of your stupid mouth. Get in the bathroom!” she bullied. “Watch your mouth. You have no right to talk to me in that manner!” I spat back at her. “Actually I do because I’m in charge here!” she argued. “But I’m in charge of all of you,” said a male voice with a light chuckle, both Lily and I turned to see Mr. La’vardo leaning

CARA’S P.O.V “It’s all happening so fast…and it’s so exciting and so romantic…and so…soooo beautiful” I was so filled with happiness that I felt that I would burst with excitement as I spoke to my sister Joyce over the phone, spilling the secrets of my new romance. “I can hear your happiness and excitement through the phone Cara and you deserve every bit of it. So tell me more…What does he look like? Is he handsome? What is his personality like? Is he full of fun and jokes or is he stern?” she asked, sounding as excited as I was. “Well, I wouldn’t say that he is the most attractive looking man that I have seen, but Joyce, he is charming. He has the most cheerful laugh and most beautiful smile. He is stern yet humbled and he never fails to make me smile or laugh.” I was lost in my thoughts of him as I spoke to my sister, so lost that I didn’t even notice someone coming towards m

XANDER’S P.O.V“Mmmm, this is absolutely delicious” she moaned after taking a bite of the pasta which I have prepared for us. “I guess you aren’t the only good cook between us, hey,” I said with a smirk. “Yes, seems like I have competition” she joked. “Wine?” I asked, holding up the bottle, waiting for her permission to pour it into her glass. “Er…actually… I have…I have never tasted wine before” she said, leaving me in a statue-shocked state for a few seconds until I found my voice again. “You never had wine before?” I asked thinking that I might have heard her incorrectly or simply misinterpreted, maybe what she was trying to say is that she has never tasted this specific brand of wine before. “Nope, I’ve never had wine before” she repeated the words that she had said earlier. “How old are you?” I asked, the bottled still in my hands. &ldquo

CARA’S P.O.V I can’t believe that I’m getting married in six months. I looked at myself in the mirror and happiness shone from within. Just two more months and I will be a married woman, I couldn’t get the thought out of my head. It was always my dream, a bride on her wedding day is the closest thing to a queen… but that’s not why I wanted to get married, I wanted to get married because I feel that marriage is one of the most sacred things in the world. I mean, how can it not be sacred when the main reason and source of marriage come from a magic so pure and so real…love! And I am in love, I’m crazily in love with Alexander La’Vardo, and the love that I feel for him, has me bursting with happiness. A few weeks ago not only my dreams of being a doctor and becoming an independent woman was crushed but so were all my dreams of getting married when I took on the job of a servant, who would have known that I would have been going from servant to wife? “I hope that you are
