HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFEย ย ย Chapter 65
THALIA Since I don't want to see a dead person, I let Damon take me home. As I arrived, I looked for my Mom in every corner of the house. But I couldn't find her everywhere, the same with my brother and Dad. Where are they? I asked the servants but they also didn't know where they went. I charge my phone and while it's charging, I use the telephone to call my mother's company, wondering if my brother is still working overtime. He loves working at night. But no one's answering. As I put down the telephone, it suddenly rang. I immediately picked up the phone. โCarter residenceโโ โThalia?โ My heart leaped. โMom! Where are you?โ โCome here to Paris.โ My brows furrowed at her words and her tone. โHa? Paris? Right now? W-Why?โ I heard her sigh deeply in another line. โYour granduncle had a heart attack.โ โGranduncle whoโโ I stopped as something flashed in my mind. โGranduncle Alfred?โ โWho else? You only have one Granduncle.โ My fingers tightened around the p

THALIAAt first, I was waiting for Leander to crack up, but seeing Cassie in front of me and my granduncleโs family glaring at her made me believe my twin brother's words. โHo-How did it happen?โโHer mother and granduncle did something fun on the bedโโ I slapped his mouth, causing him to glare at me. โWhat? You asked me how it happened.โI rolled my eyes in annoyance. โI meanโฆโโWe only found out yesterday. She was in the company, looking for our granduncle.โMom suddenly left the room with a dark aura lingering around her. She's scary when she's mad. So, it's better to stay away from her until her anger subsides.Why is she even mad about it? Because of Cassie? I firmly shut my eyes and realized that my current boyfriend has a past relationship with this so-called new family member.โI told you, I have a feeling that you and Damon won't fit with each otherโโโShut the hell up.โ I gritted my teeth.What's wrong with Leander today? Why was he teasing me just as Frederick had been do

THALIAMy family went to the mansion of the Laverde to take a rest. My mom doesn't want to see Cassieโs face.I don't understand. If they dislike her presence, why are they letting an illegitimate daughter enter their life?Mom was fuming in madness, the same with Dad, whom I could not make eye contact with.I was so disappointed in him. He said it's alright to date Damon and now he wants me to end my relationship with him. Seriously? What's wrong with him?Of course, I don't want to break up with Damon. That's why Dad was angry at me for disobeying him and yelled 'No!โ in his face.I'm glad Mom and Leander were not there to teach me a lesson for disrespecting my Dad.As we arrived, I immediately pulled my brother to the corner beside the storage room without my parents knowing.โBro, can I use your phone?โ I whispered.โI thought you disliked the iPhone?โI rolled my eyes as I glared at his phone in his hand.โI forgot mine in L.A.--โโBuy your own.โ He coldly responded and walked

THALIA Dad dragged me upstairs to my room and shut the closed door. He even turned off Leander's phone and hid inside his coat.โIt's not your grand uncle.โMy brows furrowed at his words.โWhat do you mean?โโMr. Kane might just spouting nonsenseโโI scoffed. โAre you saying Damon's deduction was wrong?โโProbably.โ He gritted his teeth in irate. What's wrong with him? Why is he acting like this after saying that it's all right to have a relationship with Damon?I shook my head and turned my back on him. Yes, I am going to ignore his useless thoughts. โI just found out today that he has a spy in our company.โI stopped when I was about to open the door of the bathroom.โHis ex-accounting manager? Yes, he is a spy, but he's not working with Damon. You already know thatโโโThen what is this?โ He threw his phone on the bed. As I was curious about what he meant, I checked his phone and saw pictures of Damon with a man I was not familiar with. I abruptly took the phone, and with tremb

THALIAI'm lying on the hammock in the garden, staring blankly at the gloomy sky, which seems like it is trying to console my almost-dying soul. Since my parents are not here, this gives me a chance to inhale fresh air just to stop myself from torturing my eyes.I felt dehydrated from crying last night. It feels like my chest will erupt from the pain I felt remembering Damon's eyes.It hurts me to see him pleading.I've never heard anything from my Mom since last night. I know she knew about it. But still, I don't want to see or talk with anyone.โ--'Iโm still learning to loveJust starting to crawlโโ--Suddenly, I hear a song slowly getting closer that I don't want to hear. The familiar perfume of this jerk invaded my nostrils and tried to ruin my mood.Frustration delves into me."Stop it." I hissed."You should be crying."I rolled my eyes at his tone. "I did... last night."Through my peripheral vision, I saw Leander sitting opposite my swing. Does he not have anything else to d

THALIAMy rage towards Cassie was stronger than breaking up with Damon. Well, I'm not saying it's our end because I never said we're going to end our relationship. I cried because I hurt him with words and I miss him so damn much.If Damon didn't get that thenโฆ I'm doomed.I only made sure my father wouldn't pester me into breaking up with Damon. I end it right in front of his eyes to stop him from being such a weird Dad. It doesn't suit him.Our only problem was Cassie.Since she came into our life, she's not doing anything but she's already a nuisance. I entered my father's office with raging eyes.โCareful in opening the door, Thalia.โ He warned but I ignored his scary tone.โWhy is she here?โโWho?โโCassie Miller.โ His deep sigh indicates he's had enough of family issues. But I can't blame him. It's not even in our family but rather in my granduncleโs family.This is Laverde's problem but my father won't ignore the problems on my mother's side.It's really a pain in the ass.

THALIAI entered the office of Annabelle, I mean, Cassie, because she called me as if I owed her something. I was about to slam the door, but I noticed the eyes of the other employees on me. So, with a fake smile, I carefully close the door.They are always monitoring my movements, which I find annoying.As I turned around, I saw Annabeโ Cassie sitting comfortably on her newly bought swivel chair while acting busy with her laptop.โYou called me?โShe lazily taps with her pen the documents on the table. โSend this to Mr. Cortez.โI scoffed as I crossed my arms.โI'm not your assistant or secretary. I have my own tasks to do as of now. And most of all, my job is not a courier. Thank you for understanding.โI walked back to the door.โI command you as your head.โ She hissed in irritation.Command as her headโฆ is she hearing herself? She's making me embarrassed at her โoh so mighty great managerโ.I turned to her with a smirk. โI have my own head.โ and knocked my skull lightly. โIt's ha

THALIAMy heart was thumping violently as I stared at his appearance. He's smoking while leaning at his car while gazing at Carter's building.I noticed his lazy eyes were back when the first time I met him, he lost weight, his beard was now quite visible, and his hair grew into a mess.Is he not taking care of himself?"What are you doing?"I jump off my feet at Frederick's sudden appearance behind me with his face an inch apart from mine."You scared me!" I slapped his arm with a frown.His usual smirk plastered on his face before continuing to eye the person I was looking at through the enormous window."Who are you peeking-""No one, let's go."I hold his face to look away and push him lightly. If he sees Damon, he will tease me again, and he will tattle it to my twin brother, and then my twin brother will tattle to our father. I had already convinced my Dad about ending what I and Damon have before.But Fred pinned me at the wall with furrowed brows.I rolled my eyes, hearing his

THALIA I was panting and out of breath when I finally reached Damon's hotel room. I did my best to get here as fast as possible.We have not seen each other for two days and I'm worried he might ditch me again without a word.I pressed the doorbell, but stillโฆ no response.I'm starting to get panicked inside as I don't know what I should feel: anger or worry. He's really making me madโThe door suddenly opened and a man with wet hair, wearing only a bathrobe, leaned at the door with a frown.โMiss, what brings you here?โ โI want to see my groom.โHe scoffed. โYou canโฆ tomorrow and after tomorrow and for the rest of your life.โI smirk as I'm glad he's still alive and kicking my patience.โWhy are you so hot right now?โ I asked and tried to get inside his room but he blocked me.โI'm always hot as hell, baby.โ His comment didn't impress me. I crossed my arms with a jaw clenched because he stopped me from getting in. โIt's almost curfew. I'll take you back.โ Curfew? What curfew?

THALIAโAre you able to look after her? Also, she is incredibly costly when it comes to foodโโโI am not!โ I yelled at Leander's tease. This is actually not the right time to open his mouth and spout nonsense.Damon is true to his words. He really went to see my family tonight just to ask for my hand.Even though I just graduated, I didn't stop him as I didn't want to let him go.โManners.โ Dad sternly said. โShe doesn't have that either.โ He continued, which made my jaw drop.โDad!โโDon't yell in front of the food, sweetie.โ This time, I gaze at my Mom with pleading eyes. Those two areโ โIf you can't handle her, feel free to return her.โI chuckled with disbelief at my mother's words. Why is my family like this? They are talking about my bad side instead of my good. Is that how painful it was for them to let me go and live with my man? They are hilariousโโI have too much patience when it comes to a child.โI gasped in surprise at Damon beside me. Is he thinking the same?โYouโโ I

THALIA Warm tears escalated at the back of my eyes as I held my breath for a second. Lots of words and thoughts came across me, but I didn't know how to react to this, I didn't know how to face him, and I didn't know how I would feel.Fury and longing lingered in my chest as I turned to him with tears welling up in my eyes.Thereโฆ a man standing three feet away from me, staring at me intently, lovingly, as if he hadnโt left me and made me miss him for a month.He looked the same. โDamonโฆโHis eyes and lips formed a smile before saying, โCongratulations.โI scoffed as I held back my tears.He's really something.โThanks.โ I blankly responded.At least I'm thankful he showed up today, or maybe he's just visiting me, then begone again for a month.As he sensed the intense stare I gave him, his smile faded, and he sighed. โDid you stop waiting?โ He said almost a whisper. โWhat do you think?โHe remained silent as his eyes locked on mine using his soft, day-dreamy look, which I hate th

THALIAAFTER A MONTHโAfter Michael Scott was found dead a week ago, Alfred Laverde was found dead in Whiteface Mountain in the town of Wilmington in Essex County.โWilmingtonโฆ That's where Cassie's accident occurred years ago.I avoided my eyes from the TV as my heart suddenly pounded frantically. Anyway, I continue tying the lace of my sandal while trying my best not to react as best as I can at the news.Since Frederick's father was found dead, I'm having a hard time forgetting that news. It breaks my heart to see Fred in tears while mourning for his deceased father.He actually didn't deserve it because he didn't actually kill anyone. Well, almost, and that's us. Stillโฆ Fred was a great friend and we noticed he's turning his back on us. Maybe he's blaming us for his loss.And nowโฆ my granduncle is also dead.I gaze at my mother, who doesn't even show any emotions while listening to the news. I don't feel the sorrow of losing him. He killed my grandfather, and to be honest, I shou

THALIAMy eyes began to well up with tears of conflicting feelings. Anger, worries, and longing came out all at once. He disappeared without a trace after saying he would come back, and God knows if heโs alive or not. He made me fucking worried for nothing!โWhere were you?โ That was the only thing I asked.โI have to take care of somethingโโโThen why did you have to vanish like that?โ My voice cracked up in the end as I failed to control it.He avoided my eyes with guilt lingering all over his face. I don't know what to feel. But there's only one thing I could figure out after seeing him again.โTo protect you from harm.โI firmly shut my eyes, tears streamed down my cheeks as his words were like hitting my chest with a knife. All he could think was to be my protector, whereas here I am thinking he might have chosen the others over me.Am I being too selfish?I wiped my face as I looked around. Good thing my bodyguards are outside the university. โWhat happened to Uncle Michae

THALIAI flinched as I was startled when my phone suddenly rang. I got up in bed, sighing as soon as I saw the time. It's almost three, but my eyes won't even close just a bit.My attention was switched to my phone, which still kept ringing. Who would call at this hour?I answered it without looking at the caller.โWhaโโโThalia.โMy brows furrowed at the familiar voice in the end. I checked the number, but it's unregistered.โCa-Cassie?โโI'm sorry for barking at the wrong tree.โ My jaw fell as soon as I confirmed it was her. I jump off the bed and gaze outside the window.โWhere are you? Who's with you?โ I desperately asked.However, I heard her chuckle and sighed deeply.โI intentionally took the chance that my mother used to work with Laverde and got in as their so-called illegitimate family member.โHer words left me baffled. Soโฆ she's not a real Laverde?โWhat's your reason?โโI have found evidence and took a chance to get closer to the enemy.โโEvidence of what?โโI only want

THALIAI inhale sharply as soon as I exit the building. My chest feels heavy and tightened, and I don't know how to cope with the pain deep inside of me.My fingers firmly curled around the handle of my handbag.It's just my hunch. It's just my guts. It's just my suspicion that it was Damon. But why don't I feel this suspicion is real?I hate it.My phone rang, and Damon's secretary was plastered on my screen.โHow was it? Is it Damon?โโNo.โThen why did that jerk get Damon's phone?I scratched my temple as I walked to my car. I entered my car with a frown.โWhere did that robber find it?โโHe said a woman came and sold the phone.โI paused and confusedly thought about who that woman could be.โWoman? Who?โโHe couldn't recognize her because she covered almost her face.โWhy do people love covering their faces? Scared of the sunburn or hiding from the authorities?Since it's a woman, there's no way Damon is in trouble. So, I don't give a fuck with that woman who stole Damon's phone a

THALIAMom and Dad quickly went to Paris last night. Leander and I left here in New York so that we wouldn't be embroiled in the quarrel with Laverde.It's my mother's family, so I'm afraid Mom will break down. I heard her screaming to Uncle Adam on the phone before they left. I sighed as I put down my spoon on the table. I glanced at Leander, who was also in deep thought in front of his breakfast.โWhat's gonna happen now?โโWhat else? Mom possibly cut her ties with them.โ I tightly shut my eyes in frustration. Why are there traitors in our lives? โAre we just going to stay here and wait? Mom might break down.โLeander let out a frustrating sigh. โDad is with her. Also, they won't let us tag along with them.โIt's been two decades since that happened. Doesn't the grandfather's case have a statute of limitations? I wonder how they found evidence despite the long period since it happened. Anyway, if it really proves my granduncle was the suspect of my grandfather's death, I hope he

THALIAOne week.It's been one week since Damon went missing. I even helped in looking for him but to no avail. Not even the authorities could find Damon Kane. There's no body or anything that can lead to his whereabouts. It was as if he vanished into thin air.I was depressed and cried every night while I had this hope every day of finding him together with the authorities.My parents and Leander didn't complain about how I poured everything into this search and rescue. They can see through me how desperate I am just to find him and I was hoping he's alive and in a safe place.Uncle Michael, who caused all of this, was on the run and hiding somewhere. Where's his courage to kill off my father's happiness now? Maybe he was also the reason why Leander's secretary was abducted and injured. Leander poured his soul into finding her but was also abducted by Uncle Michael. As of now, I don't know why Leander's secretary was abducted.I refused to talk to Frederick. Not because I hate his
