HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 24
THALIAAfter long hours of sitting and lying down on my seat with Mr. Kane, in another seat on his private plane, we arrived in Russia. The sun was climbing out of the deep well of winter, but it was still brutally cold when we exited his private airport. Snow pelted my face, and I pulled up the collar of my overcoat to further shield me from this bitter weather. Why, given that winter has just begun here, did he consider going to his branch at this time?This is my second time here. The first one was with my family for a family gathering at my mother's side. I didn't enjoy it much at that time since I couldn't go out without my brother. My brother prefers to do his dissertation rather than kill time with me.He's indeed a workaholic.“You okay?” My train of thought is interrupted by Mr. Kane. I nodded in response. “Need more layers?” I shook my head and put our luggage in the car trunk.He opened the door at the backseat and let me in first. Now, we're sitting side by side and it's

THALIAMy eyes quivered as I stared at him, avoiding my eyes. It felt like he just kicked me out of his life when he said I'm fired. Literally, he kicks me out of his sight.“What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm fired?” I confusedly stood up with furrowed brows.I just don't understand. I just accidentally bumped into one of his employees and got injured a little. Does that cause me to lose my internship?"You're clumsy. You can't work with me." He turned his back and was about to exit my room, but I blocked his way to the door."Then transfer me back to the financial department.” With a sigh, I saw how his irritated look came back on his face. "What's your goal in working in my company anyway?""I need my internship to be done.""You have your father's company, your mother and Uncle Adam have each of their company. Thalia, you can just choose which of your family's companies is more suitable to do your internship." He scowled with a confused gaze on me."I have my reason

THALIAI abruptly let go of his neck and distanced my head, which made my head bump into the wall behind me. I winced in pain, but my eyes stuck on the red-haired woman behind Damon Kane.“It's you! Damon!”Mr. Kane remained staring at me as if he didn't hear the woman's voice behind him. It's making me uncomfortable because of what I was supposed to do earlier.I turned his face to his side where the woman was waiting for Mr. Kane’s response.“She called you,” I whispered and slowly untagged his arms around my waist.Our position was kinda awkward in the first place. I'm glad we're in a dark alley and a few people wandering around. The woman suspiciously smiles at me, but I can feel her confusion regarding the situation. “And… Thalia Carter, daughter of Anastasia and Caleb.” She knew me as well. She nervously laughs while tapping Mr. Kane's arm as if they were close enough with that gesture. “This is interesting to watch, Damon.”“It's not what you think, Aira.” Mr. Kane muttered a

THALIAMr. Kane stared at me with those confused eyes as the warmth from his hand on mine lingered all over me. His thumb played with my thumb and I was losing my mind at his small, yet, heart-fluttering gesture.“We didn't date.”I confusedly gaze at him. “But the article–”“They are just making up stories. Don't believe them.” He went back in searching for a band-aid in the first aid kit box to cover the cut.“It doesn't concern me. I was just wondering why she keeps following us.” I mumbled as I watched him take care of my hand.He looks so gentle and careful. He's far from what we've known as a demon boss. Or maybe he's always been like this to me but I just noticed it now. With a deep sigh, I stared at the mirror beside me. Am I really troubling him by asking him to help me? To be honest, I have no one to rely on, aside from my parents and brother. I'm afraid to tell them what happened to me. They'll get worried and be more protective twice or thrice as before.When I noticed M

THALIAThe usual day arrived again with Mr. Kane still monitoring the progress of his hotel while I was still following him like a puppy. Being his assistant was exhausting… in my legs. I want to go back to working my ass off in the office because walking around with my heels or boots was killing my toes. I pity them.When it was lunchtime, Mr. Kane and I were about to exit the hotel because he preferred to have Italian cuisine rather than local food.“Hi! Let's have lunch!” Aira's sudden appearance made me sigh. I hope she won't go shopping after lunch again.“What are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the photoshoot right now.” Mr. Kane said while he opened the back seat door of the car.“We wrapped up early.” Her eyes sparkled as her smile almost reached her ears while gazing at Mr. Kane.She didn't even look at me. I felt Mr. Kane's hand at the back of my waist as he lightly pushed me to enter the car. I don't know why my heart fluttered at his small gesture.It's nothi

THALIA“Frederick?” He only looked at me confusedly. The staff apologized and explained that the door of the storage room could only be open outside. As soon as she left, I hinted that maybe Aira knew that the door was jammed.I don't want to accuse her, but that's what I believed.Frederick and I were left alone in the hallway. His brows furrowed as he stared at me intently. What is he doing here? How did he even find me? Perhaps he heard me screaming for help.“What are you doing here in Russia?” He suddenly said sternly. “Who's with you?”He sometimes acts like my brother, aside from being clingy and forcing me to date him.“Ahmm… M-My boss–”“Thalia!” I flinched at Mr. Kane's voice, startled at his sudden appearance. “I've been looking for you everywhere.” His eyes were burning in rage as he glanced at Frederick. “But you're just here with someone unexpected.”Frederick scoffed annoyingly. “She was just locked in the storage room.”As soon as he heard Frederick’s words, he turne

THALIAMy eyes shut, and my thoughts went crazed as Mr. Kane completely devoured my mouth. Both of his hands clutch onto my cheeks, drawing me into his warm embrace.It's too warm… he's so warm… my insides are so damn warm.He gives me a kiss that I've never felt before— one of limited authority and mastered accuracy. I feel like driving him crazy because I know that all that vertigo has to go somewhere while I kiss him back as my inhibitions lose the battle. With a grip tight, I reached for his disheveled hair, afraid I'd topple over if I let go. We fought silently, lashing out at one other. It is an entirely new experience to kiss a man as wild as this. But I don't know why I'm letting him do this. It was as if I was hypnotized by his tender yet powerful burning touch. Excessively sexy and toxic to the extent that I was craving more. A kiss so intense that it feels as though one of us could pass away. I shouldn't be doing this with my boss, but if he stops, I might die from hung
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 31
THALIAEveryone had eyes on me while I was eating my macarons in the cafeteria. Maybe because the frown was plastered all over my face. I can even feel the dark aura lingering around me.It frustrates me the most that I don't have a day off today because we just arrived from Russia, and now… He's acting as if he has one day of amnesia. He's really a jerk! A total player! My first kiss!I angrily messed up my hair as I remembered how he unexpectedly stole my first kiss. It's too hot and intense as if I'm picturing the first kiss of Bella and Edward.My body starts to feel hotter as I keep seeing myself with Mr. Kane in a dark living room, passionately kissing and feeling each other's body.I sprinted to the comfort room to wash my face with cold water. Not in broad daylight, I'm thinking about explicit stuff.However, I bumped into someone. The documents he was carrying were scattered on the floor.I apologized and immediately helped him and gathered the papers. When he attempted to c
