Once upon a billionaire's wife Chapter Twenty Five
After Astra was done bathing that night, she dried her body and walked into her room. She put on a simple flirty gown and poured herself a glass of wine. It had been a while since she took alcohol but she could not help herself. The events of that day brought some memories, they were mostly not pleasant ones.Astra played some classical music as she sipped the rich red wine. The tangy taste rested on her tongue and she savored it. She was turning around and dancing to the music, all in a bid to get intoxicated faster. Astra didn't want to think anymore, she just wanted to be free.Before long, she began to feel the lightheadedness that came with alcohol. Her vision was now fuzzy. She still continued to pour and drink. She could barely stop. In the haze of the drink, she fell to her bed and slept off. It was back to base.When Astra woke up the next morning, she was not alone in her room. She was warm, exceptionally too. It was not the type of heat that she could generate alone. It was

Chapter 26Nicholas was boiling when he picked up his phone to call Sarah. They needed to figure out who was helping Thompson and fast. His company was under attack again, but it was subtle. Clients were slowly selling out their shares. Nicholas could feel in it in his bones that it was a warning. Whoever was behind the havoc that his company faced five years ago was also doing it now. Nicholas could not go back to losing everything, not after all he did. He couldn't."Hello, Nicky how are you?" Sarah said in a chatty tone. Nicholas was not in the mood for all of that."Come to my house immediately," he said in a clipped voice. Sarah seemed to get the memo as she did not throw a line as she usually would or complain. She just said okay.Nicholas paced around the house and fumed as he waited for Sarah to come. He had a glass of whiskey in his hand. He could not help the fact that the alcohol made him sane at the moment. Nicholas heard from his informant at Astra's office that his wife

Astra straightened her forest green dress over her body. She hoped it was not over the top for the art exhibition. She figured people would dress fancy and drink wine because art was fancy and all. She was not sure what type of art exhibition Jared was taking her to though. The dress was something she wore to the office on important days. It was body fitting and it had a row of black buttons that bent to the side and ended with a side slit. The dress had a round neck and a simple short hands.She picked up her coat and patted at the back bun she pulled her hair into. Astra knew she looked good with her red lipstick and eyeliner. She moved to the door as she heard the knock, she knew it was definitely Jared that was knocking.She was not surprised when she opened the door and saw him holding a bouquet of red roses."You know I prefer yellow roses," she said as she collected the roses from his hands and put them into water."Noted," Jared replied. He was wearing a sky blue shirt and bl

Nicholas sat alone in his office hitting his pen on his text slowly, he was cooking up a plan in his head, one that would involve Sarah and Theo. It would be perfect to make Astra jealous, now the thing was to convince Sarah. Nicholas took a deep breath and rang Sarah."Hey, Nicky," she said as she picked up the call."Hi, Sarah. Can you come up to my office?" He asked."Of course, sure. There are a few things I wanted us to discuss about the shareholders. I also found someone perfect for your jealousy scheme," Sarah said. He could hear some background noises. He knew she was already getting up from her desk. She would be at his office in no time.Nicholas suddenly didn't want her to come anymore. Convincing her to do the jealousy plan would be so much harder. She already said she had someone else for him.Before long his secretary called him that Sarah was at his door and he reluctantly told him to let her in."So, I met with some of the shareholders already. I didn't get much inform

Astra was seated in her office trying to complete even more paperwork that was given to her when she heard her phone ring.It was quite surprising to see that it was Nicholas calling her. She had not seen or heard from him since she got back, and she was expecting he would ask her where she went. Astra could admit that she was a little disappointed when he did not call her at all. The case with Thompson had reached a dead end and she was working on paperwork instead of other more important cases. It was driving her crazy. She had half the mind to beg Nicholas to drop Thompson's case.Astra hesitated to pick Nicholas' call as she remembered the last time he called her and how that went. It seemed like it was an emergency though as he kept on calling her even if she ignoring his call.Astra stood up from her seat and went to the lobby to take the call. Knowing Nicholas, he would probably show up at her office if she did not pick."Hello," she said."Is that how you treat your clients?

Astra's tears did not dry even as she sat in the driveway of her apartment. She had no idea what to do, or what to think. She was still pining and crying over a man that clearly moved on. The nerve of Nicholas to have a child without her, when she was still suffering loss. The child open new wounds and brought up old memories. Memories that she did not want to think of.Astra tried to clean her tears so she could come out of the car, but the tears kept on pouring down as she remembered the girl and her child. The painful part about it all was the fact that the girl was not like the one she saw previously, fake with excess make up and boob jobs. Astra saw somebody who was simple and still confident in their body and that was the real deal. It was something she envied.Astra cleaned her tears again and this time managed to come out of her. All she wanted to do was to enter her room and cry. Astra walked out of the parking lot and started into the apartment building. She was already insi

Nicholas was seated in his office, expecting Astra as he worked on some of his old files. He knew it was going to be a long day yet as he figured Astra would still be angry and jealous from the stunt he pulled a day before. He considered letting her calm down first but he actually had some evidence to show to her. Sarah had interviewed all the old stake holders and one was able to give her the exact papers given to him. It showed that Nicholas was scamming them of their morning, but Nicholas could tell that it was fake. He just needed to know who was doing that and to prove him wrong, quickly.He was still working on paperwork when he received a call that Astra was coming in. At the knock on his door, he stood up to greet her. She was wearing a pretty grey dress and he was not surprised to see anger in her eyes, that was all his doing.Nicholas did not expect the blow that Astra took to his face. He was not expecting it so he had no time the dodge and her fist collided with his jaw w

Chapter 31Astra's head banged and she struggled to open her eyes. The pain and discomfort of a hangover had almost become a norm to her, she was almost used to it. Astra tried to stand up as she had the familiar feeling of warmth around her. It was Nicholas, she was sure of it. The embarrassing moments from the previous day began to come to her slowly. Astra cringed internally. She could not believe she actually invited the bastard to her house and she even told him that she loved him.With a strong push, she moved Nicholas' hand from her body and even managed to move him off the bed. He sounded on the ground with a resounding twat. A very unNicholas sounding ooff came from the body that was on the floor. Astra stilled, she had no idea what was happening. She was pretty sure it was Nicholas she called. And it was Nicholas that would definitely stay, but it was not Nicholas' voice she was hearing."Ouch. What the hell Astra?" A voice that sounded too much like Jared's said. Astra jus
