HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 22
(Anastasia's POV)We arrive at the ancestral mansion a couple of hours after our trip from Paris. He said, he needed to finish some work here, so I just tag along, since his mansion is a U-turn, It's a hassle to turn back just to drop me home.His entire demeanor changed when we arrived. He completely ignored me and barely waved me off like a nuisance. I wouldn't say that I didn't expect that, but it did hurt.That kiss? He meant nothing but just a kiss. What would I expect? I meant nothing to him.Once the car stops, Caleb shut the car door closed roughly. I get out trailing behind, as I try to catch up to him. We reach the big front door and unlock the door."Martha," Caleb calls out right as we enter. Just then hurried footsteps approach us and I see an older woman rush up to us."Welcome back Mr. & Mrs. Carter, what do you need, sir?" She replies."A coffee in my office now," he orders coldly before walking off in another direction.Martha nods her head before walking up to me, hel

(Caleb's POV)My eyes flicker open as I shake my head, getting out of the blank headspace I was in. Even though it only felt like a second, the time and environment felt longer than a second. As I looked at Byron, I gave him a questioning gaze while he looked horrified."Better now?" He asks with worry and doubt."Yeah," I reply groggily while rubbing my forehead."What happened?""You fainted, maybe due to excess of work." his face showed a sense of relief and calmness. My mouth parted for a second taking in what he said. "Okay," I retorted back with a huff. It was very obvious but I would never admit that he sounded concerned. "I'm going back to my office." I didn't want to have this conversation with him again."Hey! The conversation isn't over." He said in the distance, trying to catch up to me. I glare at him when he put a hand on my shoulder."Okay okay. I won't touch you. But you should at least take a break from work and let Ana take care of you. You shouldn't make her worry a

(Anastasia's POV)We just came back to our mansion this early morning, Caleb told me that I can start working at his company today. I stayed focused to get ready for work. Walking down the stairs, I looked around trying to find Caleb. A couple of seconds later, he appears from the door with two umbrellas in his hand."Ana, let's go, it is raining heavily outside." He said while handing me an umbrella."Thank you" We got in his expensive car, partly wet."Would you like to stop by the restaurant for breakfast?" He questioned. My brows furrowed wondering how he knew I'm hungry. My eyes practically bulged out as he stopped the car in front of Giovanni's. Too much just for breakfast. Caleb got off the car. He came back with a small box on his left handWhile driving our way, we eat our food in the backseat."We're here." The voice snapped me out of my daze as I looked up. I put the remainder of my food in a separate bag for lunch and then unbuckled my seat."Wait for me in the lobby," h

(Caleb's POV)As she walked out of the office, my eyes follow behind her. I don't say a word yet to continue off like usual. Hearing the elevator door closing, I suddenly move and grab my phone, dialing a number, which gets answered immediately."Yes, Mr. Carter?""I want you to follow Anastasia. See what she is doing and keep me updated""Right away." The person on the other end said before hanging up. Anastasia, you don't know what you got yourself into.***After a couple of minutes, my phone rang."Mr. Carter." "What happened?" I questioned getting straight to the point."It seems that Mrs. Carter is currently talking with your brother, Byron. They are having a meeting at the cafe near your company." my jaw clenched. "Anastasia, you're testing my patience?" I muttered to myself."Boss, I sent some photos." He says finally snapping me out of my daze.I hurriedly opened the laptop and looked through some of the photos. As I stared at them, I couldn't help but felt a sudden rage in

(Caleb's POV)She hasn't talked to me since that day. I don't think I even saw her these days. I am beginning to feel restless, which was not helping my work progress. Furthermore, I was interrupted by a knock on the door."Come in," The door opens and Lucas from the security analysis department comes in, which was one of the members of Ana's department."Mr. Carter. I was sent here for the updates." He says. I looked up at him and didn't say anything for a good second. "I want you to go back to Ms. Anastasia and told her to come with the reports. That is her job." I order it coldly as he stares with a look of surprise. Nodding his head, he walked out of my office.A couple of minutes later, I could hear two people right behind my door, arguing. It didn't take a long time to recognize those two voices as Lucas and Ana. The quarrel went on for a couple of minutes until a knock resounded on the door."Come in," The door opens slowly. I didn't bother to lift my head as my focus is on t

(Anastasia's POV)I had been strolling to solve this issue for a while. Some of the assets that are our company owned currently have very low security. As I was typing away on the computer, the chief walked inside the office."Good Morning." Our chief greeted. We all turned our heads at him. "I have some news for you all." Everyone's attention immediately fell on him."Mr. Carter had called me earlier and told us that he needed a replacement for a temporary assistant. An important company meeting is occurring tomorrow and Kent was just assigned to another department as he was promoted. He needs an immediate temporary one until he can find a permanent one." He explains, then everyone around me begins whispering to each other."Doesn't Isabella usually do this? Where is she?" I turned my head as one guy behind my back questioned, and everyone agreed with him."Well yes. I would usually send Isabella, but she isn't here today, and she won't be coming back for a couple more days." His eyes

(Anastasia's POV)"H-home." I stuttered out after his intense gaze locked on me for way too long. His face was carved into a smirk."Very well my wife. Now, back to work. We will discuss your punishment at home." He said while motioning for me to exit. I didn't even need another word of confirmation before bolting back toward my office.I just sat at my desk for a good couple of minutes contemplating the embarrassing events that just occurred, while cursing myself.Why does it always happen to me?!***Laying on the mattress, I refused to push myself to get off. I was going to be late for work but at this point, I didn't care. A knock on my door startled me as I lifted my head.The door opened and Rosalinda walked in. "Good Morning, Madam. Breakfast is ready. I was a little concerned since you usually come down by this time. Is everything okay?" She asks with a smile. "Of course, Rosalinda. Thanks for the breakfast but I'll just have my coffee. You can save it for when I come back." I

(Anastasia's POV)Caleb opens the door widely causing my naked skin to shiver through the frigid breeze thrusting inside the house.I was taken back to see Lianne with her luggage, drenched in sweat, her left cheek is crimson red and her countenance looks miserable."Lianne? Are you okay?" Caleb asks with concern. He held her luggage, leading her towards the living room as I followed them behind."C-can I stay here for a while?" Lianne said with her watery crimson eyes. It seems like she's not in good condition right now."Of course, you can, Lianne." I was surprised glancing at Caleb, he is caressing her head to keep her calm while staring at her, full of worries. He became soft and gentle in an instant.He is always gentle when it comes to his best friend, Lianne. But I don't know why my chest felt a tingling sensation and was about to tear up. Why can't he be fully gentle with me? Why only to Lianne? Is she that special to him?I lowered my head as I let out a chuckle. Who am I to
