‘He’s the perfect definition of an arrogant man. His name suits him very well, Judas like in the bible!’ Emerald uttered to herself whilst watching Jude climb upstairs the moment they got home.

She admired his masculine back. She thought Jude already lost his physical attractiveness the moment he got disabled yet Emerald sees him as someone who is sexy in her eyes.

‘Damn, Emerald. Wake up! Even if you love that man, you should prioritize yourself and vanish!’ She couldn't help but to look away. Emerald couldn't focus, but rather, her mind is clouded by thoughts about her love towards Jude Sanders.

Now that he's free to walk around their house without judgement, Jude can do everything he wants as long as it pleases him. Emerald was in a tough state, divorcing the man she loathes the most would be so hard especially now that he demands his wife to work near him.

She thought after the discussion happened in her office, there would be no more argument to follow. However, she was wrong

    “Perfect.” Antonette affirmed with a huge smile crept on her face. She was ogling at the paper she's holding, a work-related stuff she teamed-up with Emerald. Emerald nervously spoke. “Do you think Jude—I mean Mr. Sanders would be pleased about it?” “Of course!” Antonette leaned forward. “If he finds out it was his wife's idea, he will be glad,” she then winked at her. A soft, low chuckle comes out her lips. Good thing. No one has heard them talking about marriage stuff, otherwise, she'll get doomed. The silly thought passed through her mind, there's no way Jude would be glad about something that has traces of her. Emerald had long accepted the fate between them. You can love a person and still distance yourself away from them. Loving them from a far feels at peace than staying but toxic. Left with nothing else to do, Emerald went back to her table only to see a box of cake under her table. The whole team was holding small yet cute cakes on their hands with names on it. She was c

  • Secret Wife To A Disabled Billionaire: Married In My Place!   Chapter 26: Strawberry & jealousy

    “But—” Emerald affirmed, trying to defy Jude's order. “I will be meeting a friend today. My friend already reserved a table for us elsewhere and it’s a high end hotel.” Jude arched his eyebrows. “And?” He sarcastically affirmed. Emerald nibbled her lower lip, reading what Jude was thinking about. “It would be a shame if I wouldn't see him at our agreed time. I don't totally belong to your team so I was thinking if… I can go home early.” Everyone was just silent. Among the people they met, only Emerald has the power to talk back against their boss. Jude holds little to no patience, and he fires everyone who has an unpleasant attitude. Trying to oppose him makes Emerald a perfect candidate for drop out employees. She doesn't see anything wrong with what she said. If she were to read the rulebook, there's an allotted time for employees to work. An overtime should be only implemented when it's needed. “Technically, you are my personal assistant. As long as I'm here, you stay here. Ha

    She made sure that no traces of tears were visible in her face. It took her almost 30 minutes in the bathroom to cry herself out rather than ignoring her feelings again just because she loves her mother more than herself. Jude noticed Emerald's red eyes from a far. He saw her cheeks red as apple along with her arm with a mark of an object that seemed to penetrate her body. His raw emotions splurged inside of him—hinting that something happened towards her. Without a second thought, Jude put down the paper he was holding as his whole attention was now on his wife. He nibbled his lower lip, playing with his index finger whilst watching the woman sit in her cubicle. Jude has the urge to come towards his wife yet he couldn't act recklessly especially when they aren't at home. Emerald's mother raw dogged her in the comfort room. A face slap, a tight grip, and a gut wrenching gaslight she got from a mother like Aileen. “Emerald!” Loren yelled her name. She immediately diverted her gaze

    Emerald's hand felt numb. She's holding and flipping the pages for hours through standing without even sitting. Jude was strict when it came to her which wasn't included in the agreement they had with each other. Since her teammates had gone through their lunch already, Emerald went to the lounge to grab something to eat. Jude definitely gave her a task and made sure she couldn't say no. People are totally ogling at them! For a moment, Emerald is already thinking Jude's persuasion as too good to be true. Why did she trust that fake cripled man anyway? Emerald had gone nuts. She rolled her eyes whilst preparing a sandwich for lunch. On the other hand, Antonette, Jude's secretary, came inside, bowing a little to her. She was puzzled why the secretary acted politely even though they are the only one inside. “Don't,” Emerald ceased when Antonette was about to make her a coffee. “It's fine if you treat me casually. I know that… you know the truth between me and…” Antonette was shy. She

  • Secret Wife To A Disabled Billionaire: Married In My Place!   Chapter 23: Subject of gossips

    Jude was just watching Emerald be bored in her seat. He's been silently glancing at his wife whilst his focus was on the meeting ahead of him. Jude's promise remains in tact, he doesn't need Emerald to move around as long as she's with him, then everything is good. Ensuring her safety is the most important thing to him. The gist in this decision is that Jude must continue concealing how he truly feels otherwise a strong gap would be brought up in between these two. On the other hand, Emerald wasn't happy. It was her first day at her new job yet she never wished for any of this. Emerald is bored scrolling through her phone, seeing the pictures of the whole crew at the studio eating up together at lunch made her envious. She was once part of the group too, now she's forced to leave and do something Emerald never saw herself doing. Tired by just sitting all day, Emerald rolled her eyes over. Jude nibbled his lower lip, stood up whilst holding a folder in his hand. “Do it.” He affirme

    What Jude wants, Jude gets, with or without legs. Just as he expected, Emerald barged in his office according to his plan. A sly smirk crept onto his lips the moment his new personal assistant entered his discreet space. Emerald's blazing eyes met with his cold, stoic glares. He put down the eyeglass he was wearing before twisting his gaze to where she was. “Glad you invited yourself over. I thought I had to drag you out of Campbell’s building by force.” He cunningly affirmed before standing up, he doesn't look like someone who would get scared if a person found out he's not disabled at all. Emerald scoffed. “Congrats. Your success rage bait got me here.” The woman sarcastically affirmed, putting the limited edition Louis Vuitton bag on the couch. “I didn't wish for this, Jude!” “Go get yourself killed, then.” A few knocks disturbed them too, forcing Jude Sanders to sit down onto his swivel chair. A total of four people got inside holding a bunch of papers in their hands, smilin
