Danielle's POV

I woke up early, as I used to. The sun was shining through the curtains, indicating the beautiful weather outside.

' There is always sun after a storm," I thought to myself bitterly.

I took a quick shower, then dressed in another pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. I scanned my reflection. Not bad, this will have to work for now.

I quietly went downstairs. Silence lingered in the air. Marcus had to be still sleeping. I grabbed an apple and left him a note attached to the fridge.

" Running errands. Will be back this afternoon. Danielle."

Did not want him to panic or, worse, to think I ditched him.

I used Marcus's phone to call a taxi. It came fifteen minutes later, and I gave the driver my old address.

He was watching me suspiciously, probably judging my outfit. Oh well, that's his problem.

We arrived at my apartment 30 minutes later. I have asked the doorman to pay for my taxi, and promised to pay him on my way back.

My place looked exactly as I left it two days a

  • Mr and Mrs Billionaire   Chapter eight

    Danielle's POVI took a cup Marcus offered me and drank it slowly while watching my husband. He enjoyed his beverage and seemed completely oblivious to all the questions and doubts that had to be written on my face. Marcus mentioned this man was his coworker, which meant he was working somewhere. I was thinking he survived on the allowance that his family set up for him. Stephen even used that money against Marcus, forcing him to marry me. I thought it was his only income. But now, it seemed he was involved in some kind of business.My heart raced. What if this were some shady business, and the man who left this house was dangerous? I dismissed that thought. Marcus looked way too calm. At the same time, it occurred to me how little I knew about the man I married, almost nothing.I opened my mouth to ask him about that when Marcus spoke, taking me by surprise. " Would you like to go out tonight? Maybe a dinner?"" What? No!" I spoke before my brain fully processed his question. My hu

  • Mr and Mrs Billionaire   Chapter seven

    Marcus's POVI woke with a feeling that something was missing. This house was usually quiet, and it did not bother me, but today it was different. I got from my bed, listening carefully. Nothing, no sound except the usual one that can be heard in houses old like this one. ' Danielle,' I thought to myself, dressing quickly. I should have heard her if she were up already. I was not used to someone else's presence in my space, so any of her movements would wake me up, especially after last night. I moved myself into a wheelchair and left my bedroom. The house was still quiet. I got closer to the stairs. Nothing. Could it be? I stood up from my chair and moved slowly upstairs. Soft carpet muffled my steps perfectly. I got closer to her room. I would peek and got downstairs, before she would notice, just like yesterday. I cursed myself. It was risky and stupid, but I could not help myself. I could not stand hearing her cries. When I opened the door, she was sleeping, but her body was t

  • Mr and Mrs Billionaire   Chapter five

    Daniell's POV I knew that Marcus did not mean to hurt me with his words; it was an honest mistake, just like mine had been before, but I couldn't help but feel hurt. I thought about Stephen. He was probably on his way to his honeymoon with Sophie right now. Maybe they were still laughing at the prank they pulled on me. I could not decide what was more painful: their betrayal or how easily my parents went with that, as if nothing had happened. " Do you regret?" Marcus asked as if he could read my mind. " I don't get offended if you do." I looked at him. Marcus moved himself from the wheelchair to one of the sofas, and I sat nearby. Each of us had a wine glass in hand. If anyone could see us now, they would think we were a normal couple, enjoying our evening after dinner. But there was nothing normal about us. " I know it is a horrible situation for you. I promise I will get it fixed if you let me. I will take care of you to the best of my ability. I am a man of my word,

  • Mr and Mrs Billionaire   Chapter four

    Marcus POV. When Danielle ran upstairs, I stared at the place where she disappeared, wondering what had upset her so much. One moment, we were joking, and in the next, she looked uncomfortable and ran away. 'Did I say something wrong?' This thought kept popping back into my mind. Then I heard water running in the bathroom. Maybe it wasn't me; perhaps she needed a moment for herself. She went through a lot today, I should not expect her to act rationally, after all she has been through. I admired that she stayed strong for so long. Most women would have a complete breakdown in a situation like this. I pulled out my phone and dialled the number. " Sir?" James picked up almost immediately. " How is it going?" I asked quickly. Who knows how long Danielle will stay upstairs?" We have almost sixty percents of shares. Do you want us to keep going?" " Idiots!" I let out a bitter laugh. " Get to seventy. It will be more than enough.""Sure thing, boss," James replied, then hung up. I sm

  • Mr and Mrs Billionaire   Chapter three

    Danielle's POV" Welcome to my home, that is now yours as well," Marcus announced with not-so-well-hidden irony, right after the taxi driver helped me transfer him back to his wheelchair. " It is beautiful," I replied politely. This house was far from beautiful, but I did not want to hurt his feelings. It was an old cottage house that needed some serious repairs. The paint was peeling off the walls, and the back and front yards looked more like a jungle, from what I have noticed. " Lying is not your strongest skill, is it?" Marcus glanced at me with a smirk. I just shrugged my arms; he got me there. " My family was very generous, as you can see," he added indifferently. " They gave you this?" I looked at him, furrowing my brows. How could someone think it was an appropriate place to live for someone in Marcus's condition? " When you lose your legs, you lose your privileges." " You have legs," I replied absent-mindedly, scanning the surroundings. There were no other houses in the
