HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 32
(Anastasia's POV)I groaned to myself as my empty stomach starts grumbling like a hungry lion. I took a glance at my watch, it was just past one pm and I haven't gotten a chance to eat my breakfast yet.Setting the papers on the desk, I stood up and strode my feet to the door. I stuffed my hand in my pocket walking towards the elevator, taking a few glances at Caleb's office, but he is nowhere to be found. He must be still in a meeting.I quickly walked into the cafeteria room. Feeling a little lonely, eating by myself, I took out my phone and ask Ava to have snacks with me. But they are having a meeting, so she is out. I decided to eat alone then.I was silently eating a macaroon in the corner inside this wide expanded room filled with few employees as they are busy devouring their own business while I was busy with my own business too. I was about to take a huge bite when my name echoed inside the cafeteria causing me to stop in a trance.I turned my head and see Byron runs in my dir

(Anastasia's POV)Caleb's brows were drawn together. Then, Lianne followed his gaze.I don't know how to react in this situation but all I know is my heart is about to burst. I looked away from them trying to remain composure. As much as I want to drag Lianne by her hair out of Caleb's room, I need to control my emotion as I am not his real wife."What is it?" Caleb asked. Lianne is already leaning on the couch with crossed arms while Caleb strides his feet towards my direction with a frown face.What? Did I interrupt their romantic moments? Am I on their way? I rolled my eyes out of annoyance."I need a suitcase, mine's broken, just send it to my room," Turning my back without waiting for him to respond, striding my feet back to my room.I almost burst into outrage.***I exited the bathroom, yawning, after being done cleaning myself, and yet, still sleepy. I haven't slept a wink last night and don't ask me why. They are just very close like real siblings, don't get them wrong. But

(Anastasia's POV)"Have you ever been outside and walked around the city just for fun and to explore?" e He shook his head. "I never thought there was a good reason, it was a waste of time, but not anymore until you came." I immediately looked at him, surprised. It's because of me?I ignore my thought and nodded in response as I pluck out a dandelion from the ground. Blowing on it, the seeds flew around spreading all over the air.Caleb just watched in interest."Here try it," I said while plucking another one and handing it to him. He looked at me like I gave him the most challenging task in all of mankind. I chuckled slightly and picked one up for myself. "All you have to do is put it close to your face and blow on it lightly. The seeds will fall all over." I said while demonstrating how to do it.He brought it close to his face and blew on it. But the problem is, he brought it too close to his face so he inhaled some of the seeds causing him to cough nonstop. I tried to hold back
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 35
(ANASTASIA'S POV)-ANTONIO LAVERDE, THE SON OF A MULTI-BILLIONAIRE IN EUROPE, SHOT TO DEATH- HeadlineAntonio Laverde? I felt relieved when it turned out it is not my father.Photos of his body that looked almost too explicit for the public were posted on television. He does look like my dad but I don't think it's him.I mean, the man was shot to death, he has a different name too, and most of all, he is the son of a multi-billionaire in Europe. It's so hard to believe that he is my father. But they do have facial feature similarities. I couldn't help but feel bad for the man. Who wanted him dead so badly that made it occur like this?I'm trying to compose myself as I keep eating my chocolate almond. I looked at Caleb when he placed his hand on my lap."As I stare at your father's picture, I just figure out now that he and Antonio look alike," he said, can't stop staring at the tv."I almost had a heart attack, thinking that my father is a multi-billionaire." I let out a chuckle but Ca

(Anastasia's POV)"W-what? Who... who are you?""Adam. Adam Laverde." He replied with a slight smile. "You as well. Dad has told me a lot of stories about you and my other younger sister, Alice." He said and my face turned dark."There are only limits to that. If Dad told you anything about us, maybe you also know why he left us." I replied while leaning forward to grab a water bottle."Mhmm, he only told me about having a mistress with our maid before and left us for her.""Well, you do know who killed him, right?" "I do not. No one does." "His brother." he stops moving his wine for a second with his hand before he sighs and shot me a glare."Do you have evidence?" he sternly asked before avoiding my eyes and drinking his wine. He seems relaxed, not even surprised about what I just revealed. He must know everything."He said in the video that he left, for us to be safe. And his brother will go after us this time. Are you aware of that?" I said in a slightly sickening tone at the end
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 37
(Anastasia's POV)I heavily strode my feet on the floor towards our room as I brushes off the tears welled in my eyes. I don't know why I felt a throbbing pain in my chest. Trying to control my emotions as much as I can but my tears are such a traitor wanting to escape from my swollen eyes.I faintly heard Caleb calling my name before I slammed the door closed. However, Caleb is faster than lightning, in an instant, he sneaks inside the room before the door fully closes. He grabbed my arms and harshly pulled me, causing my body to turn around, and there... he saw my crimson-red damp eyes. I was trying to hide my face as I don't want him to think that I hate what I just saw earlier."A-Ana... It's not like that..." he utterly said as he loosened his grip on my pale skin.I harshly grab back my arms as I run to the bathroom and was about to close the door when he stops it from closing. I used force to push the door close but Caleb is more powerful than I am, he put a lot of strength to p
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 38
(Caleb's POV)I was pulled out of my trance as my phone started ringing. I took it out and saw Rosalinda is calling me. Sliding it up to answer and bought the phone to my ear."Hello, Rosalinda, is everything alright? I will be arriving shortly--""Mr. Carter! Madam is still not home!" She said in a trembling tone through the phone.I took a glance at my smartwatch on my wrist marked 11:20 pm. It's already late but Anastasia is still not home. "Okay, Rosalinda, I'll take care of it. Just wait up there for Anastasia. I will come home soon." I ended the call and stood up from my swivel chair as I grab my coat and exited my office.As I ride an elevator, I took out my phone and dialed her number. I let out a heavy breath when an operator was on the line, she is out of reach. I run my hands through my hair as I stride outside the elevator and reached my car.God damn it, Ana!Where are you?As I am already driving home, I dialed one man who was in a position to watch Anastasia."Vince, I
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 39
(Anastasia's POV)I woke up with a jolt on the bed as I had such a weird dream of kissing Caleb. Me? Initiate a kiss? That was by far the most embarrassing moment I ever had.I was about to get up, but I get back to my position when my head started pounding furiously. I suddenly regretted my decision last night to go clubbing with Byron and get drunk. I wanted to kill Byron right now. Wait! Byron?I fully open my eyes and scanned my surroundings. I am in a familiar room and felt relieved to realize this was Caleb's room. I just have this thought that if I had committed a sin with Byron last night. What am I thinking?As I was getting ready to get up again to head to the bathroom when someone knocked on the door. Rosalinda came inside with a tray in her hands. Maybe, a food."Madam, this is some soup I made from an old family recipe. It might make you feel better." Rosalinda handed me some soup in a small bowl."Did Byron bring me back last night or did you have to call security?" I y
