HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 15
THALIAThe whole ride was giving me anxiety as we got closer to his company. I'm really uncomfortable every time people see us together. We are both from high-profile families and people might misinterpret what they might see.Why did he have to wait for me? I really sometimes can't read what's on his mind. But to be honest, this is better. I'm more afraid to walk alone. I'm afraid that more than one person is planning to kill me.Do I really need to ask my father for help? The car came to a stop because of the traffic. I panicked when I noticed that we were getting nearer to the company.“I-I can walk from here–”I was about to open the door but I heard a click. He just locked the door.“Can't you see the sign?” I glance at where he's looking. My shoulders dropped as soon as I saw the no-drop-off signboard at the side of the road. “Th-Then… We can go straight to the parking basement–”“I’m late for my meeting.” He cuts my words off as he starts the engine back.“Mr. Kane!” I turn

DAMONThe meeting started with the Beta team to report on the progress of our project. However, I keep glancing at Thalia, who seems uncomfortable in her seat. Her fingers fidgeted at her pen while staring at her laptop.She didn't expect this to happen.I can sense the whole room's ambiance. They also didn't expect to see the daughter of Carter in our meeting. I'm not sure why I decided to keep her near me. I'm just bothered that it's not only a stalker scheme. I feel like that jerk who tried to kill her was not alone. They're watching her from afar. Monitoring her movements. I really want to talk to Caleb Carter to protect his daughter but seeing Thalia afraid that her father might hear about this, I'm now torn.I'm torn between protecting her or just letting her die. She's not my responsibility. She's only a trainee in my company and a daughter of my nemesis. But the attempted murder happened in my place. So I believe I'm involved now.I've been curious about who's behind this

THALIAMom came to visit me because she couldn't reach me last night. Upon hearing that, I immediately agreed to meet her because I just wanted to see her right now.I need her warm embrace.As soon as I saw her, I held back the tears that welled up in my eyes. I just couldn't open up about what happened last night.The only thing she said when she felt my tightened hug was ‘Just go back home.’I can't face my father after I bravely said that I can do well on my own.After being dramatic, we headed to a restaurant. It's too early for dinner, so maybe Mom is just starving. As soon as we arrived, some men in black followed us inside the restaurant and some were scattered outside. “Mom… the bodyguards…”There are too many of them and it's too embarrassing. It feels like I'm the daughter of the president of the United States.“It's only been three weeks since you roamed freely in this city. You are not immediately used to seeing them?”“I…” I paused as I remembered that I almost got kill

THALIA“I'm already safe here, Mr. Kane.” I tried to sound calm but my heart won't stop pounding rapidly due to nervousness. “Not until you arrive in your flat.” He firmly muttered without even bothering to look at me.“Please–” The elevator door suddenly opened.My eyes widened as I realized we had just arrived at my floor. When did I press the button?“Which way?” My mind went wild when Mr. Kane stepped outside the elevator. “No, please, leave now,” I begged.My hands were sweating as my breath trembled in worry.Mr. Kane caught my eyes and stared at me intently as if reading what was on my mind.“What are you hiding?” His brows furrowed as he looked around.I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head. “I-I'm not hiding anything.”“Why are you anxious then?”“I…” I hesitated as I turned to where the CCTV was, a meter above from the door of my unit.That was installed by my father, and I will be doomed if he finds out Mr. Kane is here in my unit.“That way.”“No! Wait!” I

THALIAI swallowed the lump in my throat as I tried to distance myself from Mr. Kane but his free hand reached my back, wrapping around my waist.His hand, his chest, and his breath were so warm that my heart almost stopped beating for a second. What is he doing? What does he plan to do?I don't know where I should hold my free hand to stop myself from getting too close to his face while trying my best not to meet his dashing eyes.“W-Will you le-let go now?” My breaths tremble in shyness.He moaned, sensually, sending shivers all over my body. “Are you planning something while I'm sleeping?” He uttered softly with a hint of doubt.Oh God! His breath overwhelmed my face as blood ran all over my cheeks."O-Of course not! Let's have dinner–”As I attempted to get up, he tightened his grip behind my back. I gasped when his fingers touched my bra under my polo shirt.I gulp all of the nervousness that is attempting to escape from my whole body as the tip of our nose touches. It's sharp

THALIA“WHAT?”I flinch in fear as Mr. Kane's voice echoes in the whole dining room. His eyes were raging as he pushed his hair from his forehead, looking so frustrated while on the phone.We were having breakfast together in his own house. Despite the second time being here, I felt that I was already welcome at his place.Was this a bad thing?I sat properly when Mr. Kane's eyes darted on mine. “Finished your breakfast.” He said before leaving the dining area.I stared at his back, slowly getting out of my view. He did not even finish his meal. Why is he mad while on the phone? Did something bad happen?Damn, why am I even curious about his life? But what if it's about his company? With a sigh, I finished my meal with a lot of thoughts rummaging in my head.I took my bag in the living room and headed outside. Mr. Kane was still on the phone with a frown plastered all over his face.He's already in a bad mood first thing in the morning. He was okay this early morning when he knocked

THALIA Mr. Kane's grimace made me remember that he warned me not to leave the office. But he also said that I could have my lunch first.“Time to work. Let's go.” His voice is as cold as ice.Is he angry? or did I just forget that he always sounded like that?I sighed when he pulled my wrist and was about to walk to the door, but Frederick held my other hand.Shit. He shouldn't do this to Mr. Kane.With a glare to Frederick, I tried to take my hand off his grip.“Can't she have her lunch break?” His tone was way colder than Mr. Kane, which made me stop.Is he angry, too? Why?I saw Mr. Kane's jaw clenched as he turned to Frederick with a frown, meeting his eyes.“Her lunch break is over.”I suck my lips in between my teeth as I get chills down my spine at the way they converse. “There's still thirty minutes.”“Don't act like you're her boss.”“You're abusing your power.”The cold and chilly atmosphere around me was making my pulse pounded rapidly. But Frederick’s statement even anno

(Anastasia's POV)I wake up swamped in my light blue covers, rubbing my eyes as the bright sunlight hits them. I glance over at my clock which is marked 8:05 am. Oh shit! I am gonna be late! Dashing off from the bed and quickly take a shower. As soon I was finished, I dressed in a white plain T-shirt and partnered it down with denim blue pants and black Converse. I apply a powder and lilting to my bare face before I brush my hair and tie it into a neat bun that rested on top of my head. I exited my apartment and headed to the Latte Cafe where I work as a cashier.Once I arrived, I stride inside the shop and was greeted by a warm smile from my co-worker."Good morning, Ana." "Good morning, Jane," I respond.After I set my belongings in my locker, I help Jane to set up everything before the customer dashes in. While doing our chores, Mrs. Smith arrived at the shop with a profound countenance."Ms. Hansley, to my office now." she coldly states.I glance at Jane but she just shrugged wh
