Natalie's POV

I left the kitchen, and strutted toward the living room. The third maid was there, still skidding nervously across the tiles like a trapped rat. The moment her eyes caught mine, she froze mid-step and dropped her gaze, fiddling with her fingers as if that could make her invisible.

I arched a brow. “What’s wrong with you?” I asked, my tone deliberately bored, as though I hadn’t just cornered her sisters with a knife.

I like her. She knows her place.

She swallowed hard, her voice trembling. “N–no one has been picking up, Madam.”

I rolled my eyes and snapped, “Then keep trying your luck!”

The maid jumped like I’d struck her and snatched up the wired telephone again, pressing it to her ear with both hands. Her breathing was loud, frantic, as she dialed once more.

Then I heard it—the faint click of someone answering on the other side.

To her luck. It seemed like the person had been waiting for my arrival. If not, why would the person only answer when I showed up?

  • Married To The Broke Billionaire    Chapter 19- I'm Not A Stray

    Natalie’s POV“What could that mean?” The words slipped out before I could stop them, soft, almost swallowed by the sun. But the man had already turned his gaze away, back to his silent watch as if I wasn’t even standing there.A better punishment.My pulse throbbed in my ears. The phrase coiled inside me like a snake, winding tighter, squeezing harder the more I thought about it.Punishment for what? For the dinner? For the wine? For daring to touch Wilfred?My throat tightened. Surely not. He wasn’t the kind of man to waste time on such trivialities. Was he? No—Wilfred was ice, calculation, control. Every move of his was deliberate. If he had wanted me destroyed last night, I would already be ashes.But he did already. He made me clean up his room. Would he even want to sleep there anymore?So mysterious that I can't even guess what he's thinking.I let my eyes drop to the maids. Three of them, their knees pre

  • Married To The Broke Billionaire    Chapter 18- Save It For Yourself

    Natalie's POVI slipped into the blue floral gown I’d chosen—simple, above the knee, soft fabric brushing against my skin. No makeup. No elaborate styling. My hair was tugged into a neat ponytail, an effortless gesture that felt strangely liberating after last night’s humiliation. I slid into a pair of designed slippers and gave myself one final glance in the mirror.I refused to look back at what had happened. If Wilfred wanted to act as though I was beneath him, so be it. Today, I would carry myself as though nothing had shaken me.And I'll keep going so long he helps me get my father's company. It belongs to me and not my father's goddamn wife.Stepping out of the room, I expected to hear the faint shuffle of the maids or the hum of quiet chatter floating through the house. But the air was heavy. Still. No footsteps, no voices. Just silence echoing in the corridors.A frown creased my face. They had to be in the kitchen. Where else would they be this early?Well it's too early to g

  • Married To The Broke Billionaire    Chapter 17-A Night To Party

    Natalie's POV I grunt as I drag my hand through my hair, tugging at the messy tangles that feel like they’ve been glued together by exhaustion. Every part of my body aches as though I’ve been dragged through gravel and back again. The room is too dark, thick shadows pressing in, giving me no clue where I am until the familiar scent of perfume crawls up my nostrils. My throat is dry, my lips cracked.I guess it's too early to wake up with these feelings I'm getting. My head is getting drowsy and the room is still dark.But I feel something like if I don't get up now, I might collapse on the bed due to hunger.I rub the sleep from my eyes with my palm and groan. It feels like I’ve been through hell. And maybe I have.I sat up on the bed, closed my eyes again. I was back to routine again. Everyone in the circle did. Some wake up early to exercise, some wake up early to go to their business but I wake up late to sit up on my bed and take a little nap before standing up to do any activit

  • Married To The Broke Billionaire    Chapter 16- I Wish To Be Reborn

    Natalie's POV The moment Wilfred’s footsteps faded down the hall, I broke.No..no..no. I didn'tMy laughter tore out of me like I had been holding it in. It was louder than I meant it to be. It rattled around the balcony and back into my ears until I had to clutch the rail for balance. Gods, was that me all day? Acting, performing, wanting to please him? That's not like me..what made me do that?It seemed like the whole bottle of non-alcoholic wine I took was messing up with my brain the way it had never done.I pressed my hand against my mouth, trying to muffle the sound, but it only made me laugh harder. My body shook, my chest hurt, but for the first time since morning, I felt alive.My eyes darted under the table. Two bottles. I’d hidden them earlier, in case Wilfred’s taste for wine stretched longer than mine. Only two left now. I knelt clumsily, fingers curling around the bottle that had been meant for him. The one I had prepared. My grin widened.What went into my head? Did I

  • Married To The Broke Billionaire    Chapter 15- I Only Succumb To This Kind Of Temptation

    Wilfred's POVThe car rolled to a stop inside the compound. I didn’t move immediately. I let the hum of the engine fade as the driver eased into silence, my eyes shifting to the time on my wristwatch. Seven o’clock, sharp. I had no interest in wasting another minute here.I just need this whole drama stopped at once so that I can go back to planning.I opened the door myself, stepped out with the same steady pace I carried everywhere. Nothing hurried, nothing sloppy. At the entrance stood one of my men..posted only for the night shift, always there but 7 pm. But his face told me nothing. No urgency, no awareness that some “crazy stunt” was supposed to be unfolding inside. That alone set my instincts off. However the training I gave to my men was never to be caught unfresh.She might be pulling up a crazy act in there, but my men should never give a leak.The man pushed the door open the minute he saw me come closer and held it. I entered without a word. The air inside the house was

  • Married To The Broke Billionaire    Chapter 14: I Do Not Tolerate Crazy Stunts

    Wilfred’s POVThe sliding glass doors parted with a soft hiss, and I stepped out into the evening air. The city was winding down, but the streets functioned with horns, voices, tires rolling against asphalt. I ignored all of it. Noise was irrelevant once a decision was made, and my decision tonight was clear: business concluded.I returned to the car, where the driver was already waiting. My eyes rolled over to my wristwatch and it was just 6:35 pm. I didn't spend far than I predicted.I've always worked on concluding deals at my own time phase. The driver quickly opened the door. And I stepped inside, setting into the leather seat. “To The office,” I solemnly closed my eyelid, allowing every discussion earlier to sink in. But just before I could entirely close it, the phone lit up.What the heck!I threw the phone on the leather seat and grunted rubbing the space between my brow. This was why I hated having any personal relationship with unworthy people.I let it ring.I’ve told the
