*Anna*

The ride out to Savage Gardens doesn’t take that long this time of day. The city disappears behind us, and we are in the suburbs, though not the one the Young family home is in. No, this is a completely different part of town, one I’ve never been to before.

“Your father often took a helicopter,” Poppy says as I focus on the large houses beginning to appear out the window. Most of them are behind high fences, set back from the street, but I can still see them because they are so huge.

“A helicopter?” I repeat. “Wow. That must be expensive.”

“Well, you own three of them,” she tells me.

My mouth drops open. “I do?”

She nods. “Yes. You know, when you get back to the office, you should probably look over your assets. I have a feeling you don’t know just how much you own.”

She’s not wrong.

“I should look at it,” I agree. I want to say more, but I realize we are pulling up to a huge gate. I hold my breath as the driver punches in some numbers, and the iron barrier rolls out of the w

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Green in the Face

    *Grant*I don’t go to work on Monday. Instead, I accompany my wife to her building so that she can tell the world the truth about who A. Savage really is. Her mother is with us in the car as we make our way downtown bright and early. Honestly, it’s so early, it’s not even bright.Anna is squeezing my hand so tightly, I think she might cut off the circulation to my fingers. It’s okay, though. I won’t complain. If it helps her feel better about the news conference she’s about to attend, I’ll gladly sacrifice my hand.We get to the office, and the driver pulls us around to the parking garage entrance. Even with us sneaking in the back door, a ton of reporters are standing around, cameras ready to snatch as many pictures as possible. The office building’s security stands around, creating a barrier of sorts. I’ll just need to keep my head down so that the rumors don’t start flying again before they all know the truth. Anna owns only one of the tabloids, after all–not all of them.Some of t

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Well, That Went Well

    *Anna*Back in the car, headed home, we are all silent for several minutes. I’m thinking about everything I said, everything I didn’t say, who supported me, and who did not.And what’s going to come next.I need to do a press conference–and I need to do it soon. “Well, it’s over now,” my mother says, sitting across from me. “That’s the positive.”“Yes, that is a good way to look at it,” Grant agrees. “We don’t have to dread it anymore.”“I have to tell the public.” They both know that, but we need to start planning for it. “I should do it in the morning. I’ll let the Daily Spin have a heads up that they need to start preparing a story now. I’ll ask Poppy to organize it. Grant, you’ll need to be there. I’ll announce you as the new President of Savage Enterprises.”“Who is the current president?” he asks, his brows knit with confusion.“I am both the president and the CEO,” I explain. “I’ll stay the CEO, and you’ll be the president. My desk is big enough that you can have a desk on one

    *Anna*“What the hell?” Scott demands, flying up out of his chair. “This entire time, you’ve been lying to us? Fred, did you know about this?” he demands, shouting at his brother.“Not until yesterday,” Grant’s father admits. “That’s when I told her she needed to tell all of you right away so I didn’t have to keep lying to everyone, the way that Mary has been lying to us.”“You knew before yesterday?” Hattie asks her sister-in-law.Mary keeps her cool. “I’ve known since that day we went to plan Grandmother Trudy’s retirement party at Grant’s office. He told me then.”“And you didn’t tell me?” Hattie asks, as if the two of them are good friends who share all each other’s secrets.“No, didn’t, Hattie. Grant asked me to keep it a secret. Of course, I’d honor my son’s wishes rather than tell you something like that. Besides, this is Anna’s story to tell, not anyone else’s.” This is the closest to mad I’ve ever heard Mary sound.“When did you find out, Grant?” Veronica asks, a disgusted lo

    *Anna*“Why do you say that?” I ask Hattie after she says how glad she is that I’m not here. Of course, she has no idea that I’m sitting a few feet in front of her. I’ve got to say that this costume has definitely served its purpose.“Oh, have you met Anna?” Hattie rolls her eyes. “She’s just terrible.”“Excuse me?” Grant says, and I can pick up on the irritation in his voice. “That’s my wife you’re talking about.”Hattie just shrugs. “I know that, Grant. We all do. We’ve been trying to talk you into divorcing that useless bitch for years.”I see Grant’s mouth moving, but I speak up faster this time. “Can you tell me more about her? I’d like to know exactly what it is about your niece-in-law that makes you think she’s a useless bitch.” Down at the other end of the table, I see Trudy’s head tip to the side. She’s the only one of the family members who doesn’t know the truth that is actually trying to figure out what’s going on here. She is intelligent enough to know that this doesn’t

  • Secret Billionaire CEO Daughter-in-Law   Setting the Stage

    *Grant*We are quiet on the way to the restaurant. Anna is wearing her disguise, so she doesn’t look like my wife. She looks like the woman I once insisted I wasn’t dating, that I had no link to whatsoever. Even if I wanted to kiss her right now, I couldn’t. I might knock her fake nose off.She’s staring out the window, her mother sitting across from us on her own seat, facing us. Evening is falling across the city, with ribbons of pink and orange glinting off tall silver buildings. In my opinion, the city is at its most lovely this time of day, and in the morning when the opposite effect occurs from a rising sun.Traffic is lighter than normal through the business section of town, but the closer we get to the restaurant district, the more crowded the streets and sidewalks become. Taxis fly by, honking their horns. Pedestrians hurry across the street, sometimes obeying traffic laws and sometimes taking their chances that drivers will stop. A cacophony of noise melds together, becoming

    *Anna*Ordinarily, I wouldn’t bother Poppy on a Sunday, but I need her help, so I call her bright and early. She answers on the second ring and sounds just as chipper as she does this early in the morning at the office. I’ve never been much of a morning person, though I’ve had to make myself be sometimes, particularly when my tasks at the Young family home required me to be, but even at my fakest, I am not nearly as excited as Poppy is.“Hi, Anna!” she greets me. “Hope everything is okay. It’s not like you to call on a Sunday. Did everything go all right with Grant’s parents last night?”I’d sent her a text the day before to let her know what was going on with Grant, and while we hadn’t talked, she’s sent me a few texts to try to calm me down.“As well as can be expected,” I reply. “Fred was a jerk, but then, that’s what I thought would happen. He said some pretty rude things, and that got me thinking. I don’t really owe anyone an explanation for why I’ve made the choices I have, and
