Billionaire's Admirable Bride

Olima Adams lost her parents in a car accident six months ago, and she had been living with her stepmother and stepsister since then, as they turned her into a maid and withdrew her from furthering her education.

Seventeen years ago, Mr. Leo Adams married Mrs. Zoe Nelson, and she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with sparkling brown eyes named Olima Adams. But after Olima’s birth, Mrs. Zoe had issues.

Mrs. Zoe cried because she wanted to give her husband more children, but he assured her that his love for her would not change.

Two years later, Mr. Leo spoke to his wife about his intention to marry a second wife who would bear him more children—most especially a son who would inherit all his properties and carry his name—instead of adopting a son, since Olima was a girl.

Mrs. Zoe became emotional and afraid of another woman entering her home and turning her husband’s heart against her, so she spoke to her best friend, Gina Edwards, about accepting and marrying her husband.

Mrs. Zoe and Gina had been best friends in the past; they attended the same high school and lived on the island where billionaire families resided. They remained friends even after Mrs. Zoe married.

Mrs. Zoe never knew that Gina secretly admired her husband, and she proposed to Gina that she accept and marry Mr. Leo.

Gina quickly accepted the marriage and moved into the white mansion to live with them.

But once Gina arrived at the home, she changed and started quarreling with Mrs. Zoe.

Gina told Mrs. Zoe to leave the master bedroom so that she and Mr. Leo could use it, since Mrs. Zoe could not bear another child for Mr. Leo.

Mr. Leo was shocked at Gina’s changed attitude, as she dared to quarrel with Mrs. Zoe and even called Mrs. Zoe a witch for refusing to leave the master bedroom.

Mr. Leo grew annoyed and threatened to divorce Gina the following day, but Gina calmed down and switched back to the good friend she had been to Mrs. Zoe, begging Mrs. Zoe to plead with their husband not to divorce her.

Mr. Leo told Gina, “How dare you come into my house today and quarrel with your best friend, Zoey. I regret marrying you, Gina, and Olima will inherit all my properties tomorrow even if she marries a man and changes her surname to her husband’s. She will still be my daughter, so get ready to leave my house tomorrow—our marriage is over!”

Gina begged Mrs. Zoe to plead with their husband not to divorce her, and Mrs. Zoe sighed, since she was the one who had begged Gina to accept and marry her husband.

Mrs. Zoe pleaded on Gina’s behalf, and Mr. Leo allowed Gina to stay in the mansion with them, but in a separate bedroom.

From that day forward, Gina hated Mrs. Zoe and avoided speaking with her. She felt that Mrs. Zoe and their husband had conspired to marry her and bring her into the mansion to show her how lovely a couple they were.

One day, Gina went into Mrs. Zoe’s room and pleaded with her to allow their husband to spend a night with her, since that was why Mr. Leo had married her as well.

Mrs. Zoe waited for Mr. Leo to arrive home that night and spoke to him about spending the night with Gina in her bedroom, to see if Gina would bear him a son—the reason he had married Gina.

Mr. Leo refused, as he was avoiding Gina. He did not want to have anything to do with her since he regretted marrying her. But after Mrs. Zoe urged him, Mr. Leo had no other option than to spend the night in Gina’s bedroom, and he made love to her.

A month later, Gina remained jealous and continued hating Mrs. Zoe after seeing that Mr. Leo loved Mrs. Zoe much more than her. She had thought Mr. Leo would love only her and push Mrs. Zoe aside for her inability to bear him more children.

Instead, Mr. Leo pushed Gina aside; he refused to eat her food and avoided her as well.

Gina quarreled with Mrs. Zoe again, which annoyed Mr. Leo so much that he finally brought divorce papers home.

Mr. Leo ordered Gina to sign the divorce papers, but she refused, telling him, “I’m pregnant.”

Mr. Leo could not send Gina away with his child growing in her womb, so he allowed her to stay in his mansion with them, but on one condition: Gina would start living in the boys’-quarter apartment, away from the white mansion, and she would not quarrel with Mrs. Zoe again.

Gina accepted, as she had no other option and did not want to leave the house.

Eight months later, Gina gave birth to a baby girl named Mia Adams, but Mr. Leo never went to her again to see if they could still have more children—most importantly, a son.

Fourteen years later, Gina’s hatred for Mr. Leo and Mrs. Zoe grew worse. In her fourteen years of marriage, Mr. Leo had touched her and made love to her only once, as he claimed he regretted marrying her.

Gina knew she could not leave Mr. Leo’s house to remarry, since the townspeople already mocked her for agreeing to marry her best friend’s husband, and her parents had not supported her marrying Mr. Leo in the first place. Gina had thought Mr. Leo would love her, but he did not and instead avoided her.

Gina knew that if she went out and got pregnant to try to bear a son for Mr. Leo, he would know the son was not his baby. He only accepted Mia living in the main mansion with them whenever Mia wanted to simply because Mia was his biological daughter and Olima wanted a younger sister to play with.

Gina’s heart turned cold, and she contacted a truck driver to ram into Mr. Leo and his wife’s car, since she knew they were going to Lemon Hills High School for the graduation ceremony of Olima and Mia—Olima was graduating from college, while Mia was entering senior class.

Gina later confirmed with the driver that the job was successful, and she killed the truck driver as well to hide her secret for life.

Three months after the burial ceremony ended, Gina first moved back into the main mansion that her late husband and his admirable wife had sent her away from. She sacked all the maids and turned Olima into her servant, withdrawing Olima from her tutorial class.

Their family members, who had been silent, started visiting the main mansion to learn who would take over late Mr. Leo’s wealth and oil company, but Gina was a brutal woman: she arrested all her in-laws and accused them of killing her late husband and his admirable wife.

The arrested in-laws had to bail themselves out and signed an undertaking never to disturb Mrs. Gina Adams and her children again.

Gina later contacted Mr. Leo’s lawyer to learn about his will, since she remembered Mr. Leo had told her that Olima would inherit all his properties.

Gina could have killed Olima too, but she did not want her only daughter Mia to be alone in the big house without a sister. So Gina decided not to kill Olima, instead turning Olima into her lifetime maid, knowing no one would come to Olima’s rescue.

When the lawyer arrived, he told Gina, “Mr. Leo’s will cannot be changed. The will states that the oil company should be given to Olima Adams, but only when she turns twenty-four years old.”

Gina grew annoyed and thought about how she could change the will to make the property solely hers and her daughter’s.
