His Temporary Wife: A Billionaire’s Tempting Deal Chapter 29
~Drey’s Pov~ The continuous beeping of machines woke me up. I had an instant feeling of headache as I tried to open my eyes. I realized I was in the hospital.I squinted my eyes before opening them wide. I tried to recall what happened but my memory was foggy. As I turned my head to the side, I felt a hand on my palm, and as I turned to check, it was Lucy. She was fast asleep, her head slightly tilted, facing me. Her beautiful morning face always captivates me. She was sleeping peacefully and I didn't want to wake her. And then a flash of memory went over my head. I placed my hand on my stomach and I felt a sharp pain. I was attacked. But it happened so fast I couldn't see the person’s face or even fight him off. The last thing I remember was Lucy's face, the fear in her face, and tears sliding down her cheeks to my face. I will never forget that face. I tried to sit up gently but I mistakenly woke Lucy up. She woke up in shock and excitement on her cheeks as she saw me up. “

Lucy PovI was in shock. We kissed. I don’t want to feel this way. Not now. Not even for Drey. But this night made me feel somewhat closer to him. I understand why he’s always so cold. The pressure he gets from his father was taking a toll on him. All those lawsuits weren’t his fault. It’s all because of his manipulative father. I didn’t move as we kissed. The sounds from the city outside felt distant. Quiet. It felt like we were the only ones on earth. Like the world has paused just for this moment. But just as I let myself fall deeper into the kiss, he withdrew himself. “I shouldn’t have done that..I’m…sorry” he said, his eyes away from mine, blinking multiple times and suddenly, his cold demeanor came back. “Take your bag, we’re going home.” He ordered. His voice was sharp and cold. I immediately felt small in the office. My heart was pierced by his attitude. He couldn’t even look at me. He acted like he was disgusted by my presence. We walked out of his office, heading t

Drey’s POV“Goodnight Lucy,” I muttered. The words came out and echoed in my head as she left my office. I couldn't believe it. I've never talked to her like that. Not even to anyone else. My conversations with her always end with me being cold and dismissive. But not tonight. My father’s words still clung to me, sharp and heavy, the way they always did. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake the ache in my chest or the burn in my jaw from grinding my teeth. Vulnerability wasn’t something I ever allowed, yet tonight it slipped through like a crack in glass.I tried so hard not to be mean to Lucy but her face looked so innocent and scared.I dragged my hand across my face and leaned back in my chair. My chest felt heavy, not because of Lucy, but because of the mess my dad always put this company in. I loosened my tie, staring at the files still spread across my desk. My pen was lying sideways, ink drying at the tip. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t want to work. I

Lucy’s Pov It was 8:30 pm and I wasn’t planning to start late at the office. I had a pretty long day at work today and I was just glad it was over. This job isn’t as easy as I thought. Some days it might be less work but some days are just hectic. But at least I’m getting paid to my own account so it’s a win for me. I planned on going to see my mom today but I needed Drey’s permission first. He was so strict about the world finding out my real mother is fighting for her life in the hospital. The corridors were quiet when I stepped out of the elevator, most of the staff had already gone home, leaving the building wrapped in silence. I was carrying some files that I wanted Drey to sign before tomorrow. As I walked towards Drey’s office, I couldn’t find his secretary at the entrance so I assumed he had already gone home. I turned to leave but an echo of voices made me halt. The sharp tone came from Drey’s office. That meant he was still busy with a client. I checked the time again

Maya’s Pov I placed my head low to avoid my eyes from meeting Kevin, who looked suspicious. But it was all in vain when Jason came to my desk with him. “Maya, this is Kevin. I want you guys to work together for now until he has his own case to handle.” My heart ached as he said those words. I raised my head slowly and gave a fake smile. “Oh hi! I’m Maya, nice to meet you and welcome.” I extended my hand to shake him and he immediately returned the shake. “I hope we make a great team. You and I.” Kevin said and gave a smirk. “Okay, then I’ll let you two settle down and get to know each other,” Jason said and headed back to his desk. “I’m sorry to say this but he doesn’t act like the boss around here,” Kevin said in a low tone. “I’m sorry but isn’t it way too early to start gossiping?” I asked. “It’s not gossip, for what it’s worth, I do admire him. He tends to blend in with everyone and that’s fantastic. I’m sorry if I came off as a “gossiper” but I’m not. I look forward to wo

Maya’s Pov Waking up this morning felt so unreal. After witnessing what happened to Aria in front of me, I couldn’t shake the image off my head. I’ve been having sleepless nights wondering—who could be after her? Or..was it a stray bullet? Or..was it for me? I slipped into my office wear and styled my hair, getting ready for work.Even after witnessing such a tragedy, I can’t stay here forever. I know I’d still have flashbacks of the incident but I have bills to pay. This is a caution for me to keep my low and to work smarter to find out who was after her. Just then, I heard a knock on my door which made me jolt out of my thoughts. I dropped the hotcomb in my hand and placed it on my shelf, then quickly walked to see who was at the door. As I peeped through my door hole, I saw no one. I was scared. And suddenly, an envelope slipped under my door. Fear creeped up my spine as it was covered in red. Could it be blood? I checked the door hole again hoping to see someone but—no
