Chapter: Chapter 50“Am I going to see Alex again?” Nathan asked in a small voice. Tugging at his hands as if for support. As if programmed, Nella stood up and began walking away, shrugging when Maren gave her a ‘really?’ look. And so did her mom. One thing Maren had secretly been scared of was Nathan getting too used to being around Alex. And knowing Nathan, once he's taken a liking to you, it takes only a deep reason for him to change his mind. Maren searched her mind for an answer. If only he knew Alexander was his actual father who didn't want him. Perhaps if she told him that way, maybe Nathan would finally hate him, she thought. Deep down, she actually thought they could have a future with Alexander. Like when he found out that he was Nathan's father, he'd be happy and then they'd live happily ever after. But she had overestimated Alexander and thought he could actually take off his selfish cloak and think of someone else for a change. “Mummy?” Nathan called, bringing her back from her

Chapter: Chapter 49Cameras, microphones, and, of course, lots of human beings flooded the entrance of the courthouse. They all seemed to be moving backwards as they tried to take one or two pictures and words from their star. The more the crowd came out of the house, the more they became uncontrollable to the guards who shielded Alexander. He paid them no attention as he seemed to look ahead of them through the dark shades he had on. He paused in his tracks and looked down at his wristwatch, his mind searching for his next move from here his job here was done. “Mr. Blackwood, sir, your divorce with Mrs. Blackwood was so sudden and out of the blue. Does this confirm the rumours that your union was a contracted one?” One reporter, who was also struggling with the others, managed to get close to Alexander and asked. “Sir, in estimate, the duration of your marriage to now, miss Sharppe was an estimate of six months. There’s been whispers flying around on this. Do you care to clarify?” Another asked

Chapter: Chapter 48That's right, I've kept track since the day I put my signature on your godforsaken contract and I've waited patiently for this day ever since." She sharply turned away from him, trying in vain to control her tears still, they rolled down her cheeks and she turned to him, anyway. "And to think I actually cared about you” she hit him in his chest, but he was unmoved and just stared into nothingness. "I was actually beginning to fall in love with you. But it turns out you don't care about anything except it's beneficial to you.” She paused abruptly as the tears began to choke her. “You know what?" She said and wiped her tears with her fingers. “I don't care anymore. I can leave now if I want but just to save my dignity, I'll let the rest of the days elapse and it's over. You'll never see or hear from me and Nathan ever again!” She walked over to her bedside drawer and made to take out something but then to stopped and turned back to Alexander who just stood there. "I just nee

Chapter: Chapter 47The night was still and cold when Maren walked into the house. No one was in sight, as the entire staff was expected to be done with their duties by that time. She looked around the living room, but even Alexander wasn't there. She just ignored and walked further towards the staircase as she was too tired to even think straight. But deep down, she was really happy. She'd pushed aside every other thing and focused on work as she'd risen a little on the business pyramid and was getting a lot of recognition, but that only meant more work. Alexander had been so cold lately and hardly even came home, which she suspected was because of his dad's health status. But she didn't mind. She just needed her peace of mind and some rest. Rose?” she called out quietly as she set foot on the first step. She suspected Nathan would be asleep and thought it best to not make known of her presence to him. Especially these days that she really didn't spend enough time with him. “Rose?" she called

Chapter: Chapter 46Alexander climbed down the few stairs that led out of the hospital, his demeanour more gloomy than when he entered. Ignoring the greetings from his personal assistant, he dove into the car whose door was held open by the PA. The engine started immediately, and the car zoomed off. “Sir, a message came in for you," the dark-skinned man announced and waited for a response, hoping Alexander was listening. Alexander, whose eyes were now glued to his phone screen with his brows creased, repeatedly tapped on his phone, indicating that he wasn't interested in whatever the man was saying. “Who’s the message from?” He finally asked as the car came to a halt at a traffic light. “It's from Micheal Katz, the detective," the man replied. His voice was deep, filled with strength and agility. Alexander gave a silent sigh and hesitated for a while before replying. “What's the message about?" “It came on paper," the man said and pulled out a sheet of paper from a file which he had placed in be

Chapter: Chapter 45Maren turned, on hearing the male voice beside her. She had to blink multiple times to unblur her vision so she could view him clearly. “Hey, I know you. You, the man William does business with," she said, smiling, and extended her hand drunkenly for a handshake. “Well, I wouldn't say business. We're—" “What are you doing out here, anyway?" She asked, interrupting him. “You seem like the kind of man who'd be choosy about his location. " “If you can be here, what stops me from being here?" He asked, returning her stare. "Maren, take this,” Irene called and shoved a glass into her hand. "It's water. Drink up so you don't lose yourself.” She added, eyeing the intruder. Maren slapped herself a few more times, expecting the water to take effect immediately. “What did you say you were here for again?" “Just out with a few friends for a drink—or two. No harm in that, right?" Just then, Irene leaned forward and whispered something into her ear, and smiled before leaving.

The Billionaire's Secret: A Nasty Web of Lies
“You think I'd stoop so low to fuck servants like you do?" He yelled—
Oh, but he did!
Hear me out,
Thane Moneau, an enigmatic billionaire, gets tangled up with Lena Hayes, a charming, love-hungry young lady who asks for nothing but to be loved. She's sent to prison for a crime she knew nothing about by her husband, and that was where she'd met Thane; her prison bully. She was released ten months after to find her step sister, Mira, had taken over her marriage. With nowhere else to go after signing the divorce papers, she returned to her father's house only for the heartless man to sell her off as a maid. There again, her world and Thane's collided as her boss was Thane's irresponsible father.
Not long after, Mr Moneau senior was killed and Thane was nowhere to be found. Soon, she discovered Thane is actually a ruthless billionaire, and numerous questions filled her mind. How had such a rich man ended up in the kind of dirty prison where she was? Why did he go undercover? And how on earth was he so rich but his father lived in an average house and fucked whores for a living?
Also, what happens when Lena goes from being a wife to Adrian Devonshire, to a maid for an old man, then the personal maid to Thane who hates her guts? Will things get worse or will she thrive when unforeseen circumstances force her to get married to the ruthless, arrogant billionaire, Thane Moneau?

Chapter: Chapter 50Lena's eyes fluttered open, blinking against the morning light. She stretched, pushing the duvet off her body-Duvet? She sat up, remembering she hadn't slept with the duvet. She turned to her side but met an empty bed."Did he even sleep here at all?" She wondered, instinctively peeling under the covers as if checking to see if her clothes were intact.They were.She clicked her teeth in partial disappointment and got out of bed, rubbing her eyes.'What? You wanted him to rape you?' her mind mocked as she walked towards the bathroom to have a shower and maybe be useful around the house. She had just finished fluffing the pillows and arranging the bed neatly when the door clicked open and Thane walked in.They locked eyes for a few seconds. Thane taking in the features of the woman he'd legally tied himself with the previous day, and Lena trying to figure out why he was looking at her so strangely.'Is this how life being his wife is going to be?' she thought, turning her attention t

Chapter: Chapter 49Well, the way the party ended was unknown to Lena as she'd dashed upstairs immediately she broke away from Thane. She had no idea why she'd kissed him, but somehow, that was the only thing she could think of at that moment.Anyway, Alex had told her that Thane had made an excuse to the guests that she was so tired and needed rest, and deep down, she was relieved. At least Thane had thought more clearly than she did.She had slept off after she dashed up to her room. But when she woke up, she met an empty room. And it wasn't until a maid had walked into the room to get the rest of her stuff that she got to know that Cecil had ordered her things to be moved into Thane's room.Cecil was so pushy.It was dark outside now and though the party was over, and most of the guests had gone, Lena could still see some light from the garden, and hear a few voices from the living room.She wasn't sure Thane was aware of this recent change, but she was now standing in his room, her arms akimbo as

Chapter: Chapter 48"Good day, Margaret." Thane greeted, his voice dry and serious as he locked eyes with Margaret, who was caught off guard. Completely ignoring the others.For a moment, she looked genuinely surprised that he had the audacity to call her by her name. But it didn't take long till she regained her composure, pretending to be unbothered.Thane was towering over her, anyway.Lena felt her breath hitch. The tension in the circle suffocating. She didn't like this scene at all, and she wished Thane hadn't shown up. Finally, she lowered her gaze to her fingers, fumbling with them, as she avoided eye contact.Margaret eyed Thane but maintained her smile and the edge in her voice. "Thane Moneau isn't it?" "Nice to meet you too," Thane said dryly, his hand slightly squeezing Lena's waist. "Hmm." Margaret scoffed at his ego. But she straightened, masking it with false politeness."I've met your mother. Lovely woman, I must say. She's really something and I like her." She paused, her eyes flickin

Chapter: Chapter 47Lena stood amongst the small crowd of Thane's fellow billionaires, half listening to their chattering as she clutched a glass of grape juice in her hands.They talked so silently about things that Lena really wasn't interested in, but Thane had insisted she stayed by his side. He chatted so happily that he didn't seem like the same person she'd seen earlier at the altar.But it was obvious he was forcing himself to act normal, trying to shake off whatever was on his mind. Lena's mind, however, was distant as she focused her attention on something else. Her eyes were glued to a far corner of the garden where Adrian and Mira stood, chatting with some guests. With Mira cradling her tiny baby, and looking every bit like a glowing mother.Lena sipped her juice, trying to control her urges to walk over to where Mira was. But the temptation was strong, and she needed something stronger to drink. Not this sweet piece of shit Thane had restricted her drinks to.Mira laughed at what one of th

Chapter: Chapter 46"I'm sorry. Mr Moneau will not be answering questions." Dante said, holding his hand out to block away the reporters swarming around them.But the reporters were relentless, as they kept following them behind, almost running over themselves as they tried to get their microphones close to Thane."Sir, just a minute. Congratulations again-I have just one question." A loud female reporter yelled, her voice overpowering the rest of them. Your fiancée Tessa was buried less than a month ago, and now you've already married another woman. Care to explain how that happened?"Thane gritted his teeth but kept his head forward, his hand holding on tightly to Lena's as he pulled her away from the wedding venue towards their car, trying to ignore the voices.'Fuck Dante for choosing a venue where the parking lot is so fucking far from the main grounds.'"Sir, there's been rumors that you planned Tessa Maddox's death. Anything to say about that?""Sir, are you aware that the Maddoxs have planned to

Chapter: Chapter 45Lena felt heat rush to her face as she stared at her reflection in the mirror and it was not from the makeup or the gown which was as large as those worn during Cinderella's time. But it was from the sheer belief that she was finally getting married to Thane Moneau.The man who was every lady's dream, the man who had bullied her in prison, the father of her unborn child-'The man who's pornography you've witnessed.'"Ten minutes." A voice announced from behind her room door just as the stylist took her hands off her hair."Done." She said, packing up her equipment into her kit while flashing Lena a hearty grin, which Lena reluctantly returned.Lena was scared and unsure of what she was doing. Being in a contract marriage with Thane sounded like the worst idea ever, but where would she go if she disagreed? She didn't want her child to be a bastard.Her eyes dropped to the file on the table. Nine months had begun to count the day he got back home from the hospital, and this document wa
