Billionaire's Charming Wife

The sharp and sudden noise like a crack of thunder catches everyone's attention as the bottle hits the floor and shatters into pieces followed by the casino chips falling around her feet. Evelyn had her face turned the other way, almost shaking from the client's sudden anger."You little bitch!" he screamed, almost deafening her as he began raining curses. He grabbed her arm too, pulling her closer into his body that was bathed strongly of heavy perfume. By now, the whole Casino had turned silent and every eye was on the two.Evelyn gasped in shock with her heart hammering in her chest. She yanked her hand from his grip at once with a frightened but annoyed look on her face. His touch was like a million maggots crawling up her skin.The man scowled even further and she knew at once she had landed herself in even bigger trouble. Not one of her colleagues stepped in to help. Instead, they watched her like she was their entertainment for the night. It was a cruel world where no one cared

The dreadful day arrived at last.The hall was like a dream come true. She never expected that she'd be getting married with such beautiful decorations fit for a queen. Judging by Diana and Olivia's hanging jaw, they too couldn’t believe that this was happening to her.The Catholic Church looked like a piece of heaven. With scented candles giving off a nice scent in the air, it was warm and welcoming. The floor to ceiling window gave a perfect view of the warm sun, the soft music of the piano and harp eased her spirits and somehow lowered her guard.This wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. It wasn't bad at all. It was a simple yet sophisticated setting and a few people were already seated.Evelyn suddenly felt out of place in the church. Her soon to be husband was from a wealthy family and they had taken the time to plan his wedding so beautifully. It suddenly felt like she had no one on her side but herself."Are you sure he was disowned?" Olivia asked her mother, wanting to ma

Lucas never returned home that night, nor the next morning or even the next day.Evelyn finally gave up waiting after the fifth day. She was filled with so much rage but what could she do? She couldn't hold a grudge against a man who probably forgot about her existence.She stared at the ring on her finger, the small silver felt heavy and cold. Her marriage felt like a prison.Why did she even expect an arranged marriage to run smoothly? They were two strangers bound by a ring after all.If only she didn’t have to dance to her stepmother's tune. She could still recall Lucas's cold and glaring eyes like he harboured a secret grudge against her.Evelyn suddenly jumped to her feet. She had completely forgotten about Peter. How could she--Fuck! He must be so lonely all by himself. Before, she used to be so busy but still managed to take out the time to care for him.What was she expecting anyways? That Lucas would support her in Peter's treatment? How delusional!"Stupid, stupid," Evelyn

The party happened that evening and as Evelyn stepped into the hall with her arm locked in her husband's arm, her jaw dropped as she took in the scene.It felt like she had just stepped into a fairytale live action. The hall was decorated with fabrics that screamed extravagance at first glance. The tables, covered in rich velvet cloths with sparkly chandeliers hanging over their heads. The music was soft in the background, it was a rich melody that soothed the atmosphere.The air smelled of fresh flowers and champagne and she could hear the clicking of glass and the mumblings of conversations. The guests weren't left out in the event, they too had come prepared in their finest clothes and their necks and hands bedecked with fine pearls and jewelries.Everyone looked so good that for a moment, Evelyn felt a little self conscious. There was nothing special about her dress but she tried to lift her head and brush it off.She couldn't hold it against herself for not having money. If had e

'A thousand bucks,' Evelyn thought. He really got it for a thousand bucks? She wondered but couldn't bring herself to doubt Lucas.He seemed like he knew the worth of the stone and presented it to his father. Why didn't he just keep it for himself?He could live a much better life with a hundred million and even start something good.Now they walked out in absolute silence and she opened her mouth to speak-"Lucas?"The smooth sultry voice came from behind and Evelyn clamped her mouth shut. Who would call out to her husband so seductively?They both turned to the woman and Evelyn's brows jerked up in surprise as she took in the hot model standing before her.She had a banging body in that red thigh high slit dress. Her blonde hair was wavy and falling over to one side of her shoulder. Her gaze was filled with so much grace and ease that at first glance one could tell she was in a higher class in society.The woman's face eased softly and her cheeks flushed as she looked away briefly,
