Chapter 044

Nicole

"Shit!" I jumped a bit when the door slammed shut while I was talking with Andrew. I hurried over to check it out and saw Nathan walking down the hallway and was now heading into his room.

Seriously, how rude to slam the door while I was in the middle of a conversation with my boss. I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn’t see me.

"Hey, you good?" Andrew asked, and I let out a sigh. Maybe he thought I was cursing at him.

"Yeah, I just got a bit freaked out when the wind slammed the door," I explained, still feeling irritated with Nathan.

After my call with Andrew, I changed into something more comfy. My throat was dry, and I really needed a cold drink. I peeked out of my room to make sure Nathan was gone, and I couldn’t help but shudder as I thought back to what had happened earlier. I felt so embarrassed about how easily I had fallen for his charm and those sweet, passionate kisses.

Thanks to Andrew interrupting, Nathan might think I was the one seducing him again

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Invited for dinner

    Chapter 070Nathan"What do you want?" I snapped, gripping my phone tightly, wishing it was my dad's neck for interrupting my dinner."Where are you?" Dad asked, clearly annoyed by my tone as soon as I picked up."At home. Why?" I replied curtly; I wasn't in the mood for small talk."Join us for dinner tomorrow night," he commanded. "Bring your wife along.""Sorry, but I'm not interested," I said casually, though my irritation was hard to miss.Why was he suddenly so keen on having me and Nicole over for dinner? He'd never done this before. Not once had he invited me over for a meal.I couldn't shake the feeling that he was up to something. What did he want from me this time?"I'll be waiting for you and your wife tomorrow," Dad hung up before I could decline again."Damn it!" I muttered under my breath, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. "Damn you!" I yelled at my phone, as if he could still hear me.I took a few deep breaths to steady myself, and as I looked down, I

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Temporary husband

    Chapter 069Nicole"I’m your boss, so I won’t accept a no from you. Make sure you don’t overwork yourself. It’s important to prioritize your well-being because my company needs someone as dedicated and efficient as you. Just think about it—if you get sick, you won’t be able to work, and your pay will take a hit due to your absences."I bit my lip as I slowly dropped my phone in the drawer after reading the boss' message.As soon as the clock struck five, I got up from my desk and headed to the elevator with my bag over my shoulder. My boss was right; I shouldn’t push myself too hard. I was relieved to have wrapped up the data by four, and it was a nice surprise when Miss Alison gave it the green light.“Hey!” my smile grew when I spotted Nathan whipping something up in the kitchen. “Didn’t know you could cook.”“Hi there,” he replied, and my grin widened at how good he looked in an apron over a white shirt. “I actually made something for you last night, but I dozed off on the couch wa

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Serious effort

    Chapter 068NathanI got home around eight in the evening and noticed that Nicole wasn’t back yet. I was used to finding her waiting for me in the living room, ready to share the dinner she had made. This time, though, I had cooked for her, but I was so wiped out that I ended up dozing off on the couch while waiting.I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulder, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Nicole had fallen asleep next to me. The sweet scent of her hair filled the air, and I couldn’t help but smile. I glanced at the clock and saw it was almost eleven.“Nicole,” I gently shook her left knee to wake her, but all she did was mumble something I couldn’t catch and snuggle closer. The warmth of our skin sent waves of longing through me that felt overwhelming.Damn it!I took a deep breath, feeling like I needed more air. I could feel her heartbeat against my arm as she pressed closer, her warm breath tickling my neck and sending shivers down my spine.I exhaled slowly, pulling back a bit wh

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   New head

    Chapter 067Nathan"You really need to dress up for work, alright?" I sighed as Nicole's hand brushed against my face, and I flinched, still feeling the heat from her touch. Thankfully, she didn’t catch on. “There,” she said, pressing her palm against the knot a few times. “It looks great on you.”“Thanks,” I replied, giving her a sincere smile. “I’ll wear this necktie tomorrow.”She nodded and then sat down at the table. “Let’s eat before the food I cooked gets cold.”I took off the tie and put it back in the box. Nicole and I started with dinner—a delicious creamy spinach pasta she had whipped up as a surprise for me. Honestly, everything she cooked was amazing, and it reminded me of my mom.My mom was a fantastic cook too, and she taught me how to make a few dishes. I enjoyed cooking, but with my busy office schedule, I hardly had time to spend in the kitchen. I really hope I can cook something for Nicole someday.“Guess what? The CEO of Maxwell Group replied to my text!” Nicole sa

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Gift

    Chapter 066NicoleI picked out a light blue tie as a gift for Nathan. My dad once mentioned that a blue necktie gives off a vibe of seriousness and intelligence, which really fit Nathan's personality. Plus, it matched his striking blue eyes perfectly.When I saw the price tag, I nearly gasped. It was a bit on the expensive side, but I decided it was worth it for Nathan.As Andrew and I made our way to the parking lot, I noticed he was quiet after my run-in with Sylvia and Kendra.I let out a sigh and reached for the door, but Andrew beat me to it and opened it for me. I climbed in, my mind racing. I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did with Kendra. I had planned to just ignore them, but her comment about Andrea needing to die was too much. I still couldn’t wrap my head around her saying that.Maybe she did deserve that slap I gave her.“Nicole,” Andrew’s voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I turned to face him. “I’d like to know more about your family. Why do they treat you like th

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Mysterious

    Chapter 065NicoleAndrew tried to hide a smirk when I mentioned my husband’s name. “What’s the occasion? Is his birthday coming?”I shook my head. Honestly, I had no clue when Nathan's birthday was, but the gift I was planning to get him was my way of showing gratitude for always being there for me.I didn’t want to tell Andrew about all the times Nathan had come to my rescue.Our talk was cut short when Andrew’s phone blared loudly, and he had to step away to take the call, which honestly made me breathe a sigh of relief.I went back to my work, tuning out Savana’s playful complaints about Andrew chatting with me instead of her after his vacation. I knew she was just joking around since she knew that I was already married.I nearly squealed when I got a text from the CEO himself, thanking me for the letter and encouraging me to keep up the good work. I stepped outside the building, and just as I was about to reply, I saw a car pull up in front of me.I looked up from my phone to see

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Thank you

    Chapter 064Nicole"Did you hear the awesome news?" Savanna exclaimed as soon as I plopped down at my desk.I shook my head, placing my purse down. "What is it?" My thoughts were elsewhere, still tangled up in how I was going to cover Andrea’s chemotherapy costs. Frank’s advance payment to me was already earmarked for Landon."We're getting a bonus!" she squealed, clearly thrilled. "I heard it’s because of the project we nailed. I know Sir Andrew is going to be so excited when he gets back!"Andrew was still on leave, but I knew he’d be over the moon about the bonus. Plus, I wouldn’t have to stress about finding money for Andrea’s treatment anymore. It felt like a miracle.The CEO of the Maxwell Group was really generous with the commission for our successful project. Not every boss was like that, and my respect for him just kept growing. Even though Andrew had helped out, it was the CEO who was the real reason I was still here.First, he gave me a shot at working for Maxwell's Group

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Bonus

    Chapter 063Nicole"Alright!" Frank exclaimed as he shifted his gaze between me and Nathan. "I had her sign the contract, telling her she could make money at my club just by serving food and drinks," he confessed. As we listened, it became clear that this was his tactic to lure every woman he wanted into working for him.I couldn't shake the thought of Kendra being part of this. Did she even know what her boyfriend was up to?Frank agreed to let me return the money he had put in my account. Once I handed him the cash Landon had lent me, Nathan angrily ripped the contracts into shreds and tossed them in the trash."Don't ever show your face to my wife again!" Nathan warned in a low, firm tone before he took my hand and pulled me out of Frank's office."Hey, wait!" I heard Landon call out to Nathan, but he ignored his friend and continued to lead me out of the place.After nearly an hour of silence, we finally reached home. My heart raced as I unbuckled my seatbelt and reached for the c

  • Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire   Let her go

    Chapter 062Nicole"Let's go!" As Nathan stepped off the platform, he brushed off the angry shouts from the crowd. He held onto me tightly, trying to keep me safe. Just when we were about to take our first step down, Frank stepped in front of us, forcing us to retreat a bit back to the stage.Nathan's eyes locked onto Frank, his jaw clenched, and the hand not holding mine turned into a fist. I could sense his struggle to keep his cool.I tugged on his hand, silently urging him to ignore Frank, but I could feel the urge to punch Frank bubbling up inside him, his anger on the verge of exploding.“Who the hell do you think you are?” Frank snarled, his voice as menacing as ever. His eyes darkened as he shot a deadly glare at Nathan. “You’re just a customer, so don’t think you can meddle in my affairs, got it?”Nathan’s sharp gaze flickered at Frank, and they locked eyes in a silent standoff, blue meeting dark as they sized each other up.“I’m talking to you, fucker! Don’t you dare look at
