"Now I understand everything," was all Elizabeth managed to say when she saw Roger with another woman, right there in front of her.

She hadn't meant to interrupt her husband's little romantic prelude. She didn't want to walk out of there more humiliated than she already felt, but he heard her.

The second he saw her, he shoved away the woman clinging to his neck and said the most clichéd line anyone could possibly say in a situation like this.

"I swear it's not what it looks like." He tried to s

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 6: I'm Your Husband's Girlfriend

    Three weeks had passed since that night, and Elizabeth had never been happier.She hadn't gone back to her own bedroom since. Roger wanted her to sleep beside him every night, and she was thrilled to oblige.She'd finally let go of the fear that her husband didn't love her, because he showed her he did, constantly.Now she was sure he'd married her for love, and not even her insufferable mother-in-law or her sister-in-law could ruin that."I want you to come see a place with me this afternoon," Roger told her before leaving for work. "I think I can sneak out of the office around five and come pick you up.""I can go with you now. You still don't have an assistant, so you need me," she said quickly. She didn't want to be stuck at home with those women."I don't have an assistant because my wonderful wife set the bar so high that none of the candidates seem good enough.""See? I'll come and help you, and you can leave earlier," she pressed."I'll be in meetings all morning, but..." She

He tried to step toward her, but Elizabeth took a step back. She knew that as long as she stayed where people could see them, he couldn't make a scene. "Please, listen to me.""Relax. I know how important it is to you that tonight goes well," she said, with all the calm and coldness she could muster. She was broken inside, but she had no intention of showing it. "I'm leaving. You can go back to what you were doing."Elizabeth tried to turn and slip away through the crowd, but Roger caught her by the arm."Pl

    Roger was on edge. The presentation had already started, and his wife still hadn’t shown up.He’d tried calling her several times, but she wasn’t picking up.“Mom, why didn’t Elizabeth come with you?” he asked the second he saw his mother walk in with his sister.“I’m her mother-in-law, not her babysitter. But if you’re so desperate to know, Elizabeth said she didn’t feel like coming and that these events aren’t really her thing.”“Big surprise. Only you would think to invite her. Elizabeth doesn’t fit into this world, but at least she’s been useful to you for something. The press feels so sorry for you for marrying her that now everyone thinks you’re a saint,” his sister went on.“One more comment about my wife and I swear—”“What, son? So now we’re not allowed to speak freely? Elizabeth is a nice girl, nobody’s arguing that, but your sister is right. That woman doesn’t fit into your world. You married her for the reason we all know, but you don’t have to pretend in front of us.”“Po

    A month had passed since her wedding to Roger, and she was still married. Her curse had been broken… sort of, because she was still as untouched as the day she was born.Roger was kind to her, affectionate in many ways, and every day she felt him inching closer, but they still hadn’t taken the step that would make them husband and wife in every sense.“Why do you insist on working when I already told you that you could stay at the house? You’re my wife now, not my assistant,” he said when he saw her walk into his office, smiling, happy just to be near him.Elizabeth didn’t want to tell him that living in that house had become hell.Her wedding, even though it had been a small family affair and not a public event, had been perfect to her.She had finally worked up the courage to talk to her family, had invited them to the ceremony, and to her delight, they’d said yes.Life could have been perfect. She was married to the man she loved, her family had forgiven her, and every day she coul

  • An XL Wife For The Playboy Tycoon   Chapter 2: Why Don’t We Get Married?

    Two years later…Elizabeth felt like she had ruined her life.Her marriage had been as fleeting as the sham romance that came before it.Jonathan had broken her heart and killed every last one of her hopes.On her wedding day, she found out that her husband was already with someone else, and that the two of them had agreed to swindle her together.Ruined and with no family to turn to, she hid the last piece of jewelry she had left from her husband and sold it so she could survive while she looked for a job.The happiest day of her life wasn’t the day she got married. It was the day, three months later, when they finally handed her the divorce decree.With a broken heart and shattered self-esteem, she found herself barely scraping by, because the job hunt turned out to be far harder than she’d expected.At every place she applied, the excuses were always the same: “You’re overqualified, you’re not what we’re looking for right now, we’ll call you.” And so it went, one rejection after an
