THE BILLIONAIRE'S RELUCTANT WIFE CHAPTER 142
The evening breeze was soft and cool, brushing lightly against the flowers that lined the walkways outside Luke’s wide estate. The sun was setting slowly, spreading an orange glow across the sky. Abigail and Maya strolled side by side, enjoying the calmness that came after a long, busy day.Abigail sighed softly. “It feels good to just walk like this. No work, no calls, no noise just peace.”Maya smiled. “You need it. You’ve been working nonstop lately, Abby. Even your ‘relaxing days’ are full of planning.”Abigail laughed lightly, swinging her small purse in one hand. “You sound like Luke.”“Well, he’s right. You never slow down.”They both laughed, their voices blending with the rustling of the trees nearby. The guards following behind them at a short distance kept silent, dressed casually but alert. Luke had given them strict orders: “Stay close, but don’t make her uncomfortable. Report everything.”Abigail knew the guards were there Luke had told her gently that it was “just for h

NOBODY IS TAKING YOU FROM ME...The evening sun was fading slowly, painting the windows of the mansion with soft gold. Abigail stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her dress before they left for dinner. Luke leaned on the doorframe, his eyes quietly watching her every move. He had been quiet all afternoon, his thoughts spinning round and round, but he didn’t want to let her know that anything was wrong.“Are you ready?” she asked, turning around with a bright smile. Her voice always softened something in him, even when his chest felt tight.“Yeah,” he said with a small nod, pushing himself off the wall. “You look perfect.”She laughed softly, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. “You always say that.”“Because it’s always true.”He walked to her, his steps slow, careful. When he reached her, he placed a hand gently on her waist, feeling the warmth of her skin through the fabric. She tilted her head to look up at him, her smile fading a little when she saw his eyes.“Luke,” she s

HE KNOWS...The Dixon mansion stood tall under the pale afternoon sun, its white walls glowing faintly through the trimmed gardens. Everything about the place spoke of wealth and quiet power the long driveway lined with roses, the marble steps that led into the wide entrance, the tall windows glinting like mirrors.Inside, the air was cool and still. A faint scent of old books and polished wood lingered through the hallways.Oscar Dixon walked slowly down the corridor, his hands tucked into his trouser pockets, his expression deep and thoughtful. He had just returned from a meeting earlier that morning, but his mind was not on business. It had been restless since the previous night.He stopped at the door of his father’s private study and knocked lightly.“Come in,” came a calm, steady voice from within.Oscar pushed the door open. His father, Mr. Gregory Dixon, sat behind a large oak desk, reading through a document. His gray hair was neatly brushed back, his suit dark and clean. Ev

YOU PICKED THE WRONG PERSON...The next morning started quietly, like any other. The house was calm, the light soft through the curtains. Abigail was still asleep when Luke got out of bed. He watched her for a moment her peaceful face, the small rise and fall of her breathing before quietly slipping out of the room.Downstairs, the air felt cooler. The morning staff greeted him politely as he passed. He gave a slight nod, his mind already racing. He had not been able to sleep much through the night. Carmen’s words were still haunting him. How did she find out what only he and a few trusted people knew?He needed answers.Luke poured himself a cup of coffee and sat in his study. The large desk was covered with files and reports, but his eyes were fixed on one document a list of his top company employees. He had built this business with trust and careful selection, but now he wasn’t sure whom to trust anymore.He took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and dialed a number. “Evan, com

I LIKE THIS VERSION...When Luke returned home that evening, the sun was already setting behind the trees. The golden light spread across the yard, painting the walls in soft orange tones. Everything looked peaceful too peaceful for the storm he carried inside.Abigail was in the living room, arranging some documents on the table when he walked in. She looked up quickly and smiled. “You’re home early today.”Luke smiled back, trying to sound light. “Yes. I thought I should rest a bit before dinner.”She nodded happily. “That’s good. You’ve been overworking yourself lately.”He came closer and bent slightly to kiss her forehead. The familiar warmth of her skin calmed him for a moment. “Maybe you’re right,” he said softly.Abigail giggled and went back to sorting her papers. Luke watched her for a while, his heart tightening. She looked so calm, so unaware of the shadows that were slowly gathering around them. He wanted to protect that peace to keep her smile untouched.“What are you

SHE'S MY WIFE...The day passed slowly, and Maya could hardly sleep that night. Her thoughts were heavy, filled with Carmen’s cold voice and the envelope she had given her. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Carmen’s smirk and heard her whisper, “She’s been living a lie.”Maya turned on her side, clutching her pillow. She didn’t open the envelope, but the weight of it was unbearable. She wanted to tell Abigail so badly, but each time she imagined her best friend’s bright eyes and trusting smile, her courage faded. What if it wasn’t true? What if telling her only brought pain?By morning, she decided to say nothing, at least not yet. She would pretend nothing happened, keep it hidden until she knew what to believe.The next afternoon, she visited Abigail again. Abigail welcomed her with a big smile and hugged her tightly. “I was just about to call you! You disappeared so quickly yesterday.”Maya forced a small smile. “Yeah… I was just tired.”Abigail looked at her, a little concer
