HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 18
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."

Because of this event, my workload is packed more than ever and I had been traveling back and forth from the Carter main headquarters to several branches to handle management matters personally without a day's rest. I may love working but I also know how to appreciate rest days once in a while. And right now, spending some time alone in my penthouse with a cup of coffee and a book sounded good.

(Anastasia's POV)I followed Mr. Carter. to a private parking lot where all the VIP vehicles are. He unlocked the trunk of his car and took out a brown leather duffle bag, and pulled out a white cotton towel."Dry yourself first. I don't want you to catch a cold." he handed me the towel before putting the bag back in the trunk. He then unlocked the driver's seat and motioned his hand at me to get on the other side."I'll dry myself first. I don't want to ruin the seats. They look expensive."He rolled the sleeves of his dress shirt to his elbows, "It doesn't matter, you can do it inside. Now, get in before someone sees you."Reminding me of how scary reporters can be, I hurriedly hopped in the passenger seat.He started to move out of the car from the parking lot with ease. "So, what's this important thing you were going to tell me?"I looked outside the windows as they go past building by building. "W-where are we going?" I also noticed how the rain seemed to have also calmed down a b

(Caleb's POV)After she signed the contract. We headed to her place to pick up her mom and sister. Since she said earlier that they must move out, Josh can't find a vacant apartment near my house or company, so he ended up with a condominium near my company."Turn left..." I followed her instruction on which way is their home. This place looks like a poor residential area, you can see a crowded neighborhood and a loud situation.Somewhere a dog barked, I could hear the risings and fallings of a conversation being held on a porch near the corner, chatting and yapping and playing and shrieking; a car passed on the street, the roaring sound of a motorcycle revving on the other side of the cemetery intrudes like a profanity. How can they live here peacefully?"JUST LEAVE THIS INSTANT!!""S-stop the car, sir." she unbuckles her seatbelt and was about to open the door, adrenaline rushed through me as I stepped on the brake. She jumped off the car and run toward the crowded people. Is she cr
