Billionaire's Admirable Bride

Olima Adams, a 17-year-old fair-skinned girl, lost her parents in a car accident. She then lived with her stepmother and stepsister, who turned her into a maid and withdrew her from furthering her education.

Seventeen years earlier, Leo Adams married Zoe Nelson. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with brown, sparkling eyes named Olima Adams.

After Olima's birth, however, Zoe suffered complications. 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, Leo told his wife about his intention to marry a second wife who would bear him more children—especially a son to inherit his properties and carry his name, rather than adopting a son, since Olima was a girl.

Zoe grew emotional and feared that another woman would enter her home and turn her husband's heart against her. So she spoke to her best friend, Gina Edwards, and asked her to accept and marry her husband.

Zoe and Gina had been best friends since high school, having lived on the island where the billionaire families resided. They remained friends even after Zoe married.

Zoe never knew that Gina secretly admired her husband. When she proposed that Gina accept and marry Leo, Gina wasted no time and accepted the marriage, moving into the white mansion to live with them.

But upon arriving, Gina changed. She started quarreling with Zoe.

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

Leo was shocked at Gina's change in attitude when she dared to quarrel with Zoe and even called her a witch for refusing to vacate the master bedroom.

Annoyed, Leo threatened to divorce Gina the following day.

Gina calmed down, switched back to the good friend she had been to Zoe, and begged Zoe to plead with their husband not to divorce her.

Leo told Gina, "How dare you come into my house today and quarrel with your best friend, Zoe. I regret marrying you, Gina. Olima will inherit all my properties tomorrow. Even if she marries a man and changes her surname to his, she will still be my daughter. So get ready to leave my house tomorrow, because our marriage is over!"

Gina again begged Zoe to plead with their husband not to divorce her.

Zoe sighed, since she was the one who had begged Gina to accept and marry her husband, Leo. She pleaded on Gina's behalf, and so Leo allowed Gina stayed in the mansion, but in a separate bedroom.

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

One day, Gina entered Zoe's room and pleaded with her to allow their husband to spend a night with her, since that was part of why Leo had married her as well.

That night, Zoe waited for Leo to arrive home and asked him to spend his night with Gina in her bedroom, to see if Gina would bear him a son—the very reason he had married Gina.

Leo refused, as he was avoiding Gina and wanted nothing to do with her, regretting the marriage. But after Zoe sent him away, Leo had no other option. He spent the night in Gina's bedroom and made love to her.

One month later, Gina remained jealous and continued hating Zoe. She saw that Leo loved Zoe far more than he loved her. She had thought perhaps Leo would love only her and discard Zoe for her inability to bear more children. But instead, Leo discarded Gina—he refused to eat her food and avoided her altogether.

When Gina quarreled with Zoe again, Leo grew annoyed and brought home divorce papers. He ordered Gina to sign them and leave.

Gina refused, telling her husband, "I'm pregnant."

Leo could not send away a woman carrying his child, so he allowed Gina to stay in the mansion, but on one condition: she would live in the boys' quarters apartment, away from the main mansion, and she would not quarrel with Zoe again.

Gina accepted, having no other option; she did not want to leave the house.

---

Eight months later, Gina gave birth to a baby girl named Mia Adams. But Leo never came to her again to see if they could have more children, especially a son.

---

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

Gina knew she could not leave Leo's house to remarry—the townspeople already mocked her for accepting her best friend's husband, and her parents had not supported the marriage in the first place.

She had thought Leo would love her, but he did not; he avoided her instead.

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

Gina's heart turned cold. She contacted a truck driver, who rammed into Leo and his wife's car, knowing they were heading to Lemon Hills high school graduation ceremony—Olima was graduating from college, and Mia entering a senior class.

Gina later confirmed from the driver that he had succeeded, and then she killed him too, to hide her secret forever.

Three months after the burial ended, Gina moved back into the white mansion that her late husband and his admirable wife had sent her away from. She sacked the two maids, turned Olima into her servant, and withdrew Olima from her tutorial classes.

The family members who had remained silent began visiting the main mansion to learn who would inherit the late Mr. Leo's wealth and oil company. But Gina proved brutal—she arrested all her in-laws, accusing them of killing her late husband and his admirable wife. They had to bail themselves out and sign an undertaking never to disturb Gina and her family again.

Gina later contacted Mr. Leo's lawyer to learn about his will. She remembered that 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 she decided not to kill Olima; instead, she turned her into a lifetime maid, knowing no one would come to Olima's rescue.

When the lawyer arrived, he told Gina, "My late client, Mr. Leo's will cannot be changed. The will states that the company should go to Olima Adams, but only when she turns twenty-four years old."

Gina grew annoyed and schemed about how to change the will so that the property would belong to her and her daughter alone.
