The Billionaire's Arranged Bride Chapter Seventeen
Adrien "Tracking the culprit behind the embezzlement has proven challenging, Sir," The CFO reported. "The perpetrator made sure not to leave any traces." "In other words, a ghost siphoned money from the company, cannot be traced and there's no way to find out which recipient accounts all of that money was transferred to?" I clarified. "Yes, sir." "Of what use are you, then?!" I bellowed. "It's your job and that of the audit team to find out who is behind this. I give you two months, Wallace. Two months or your position will be given to someone else, do you understand me?" "Yes, sir. I'll do my best," Wallace stammered. "Good." I said and hung up. As if to add my growing frustration, my phone screen lit up with a call from Brandon and I let out a hiss as I answered the call. "What do you want, Brandon?" "Woah, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or what?" Brandon teased. "I'm hanging up." "Wait! I just called to ask about the money. I'm yet to see your people." He sai
The Billionaire's Arranged Bride Chapter Eighteen
Rosalie Adrien's recent transformation is unsettling and unwelcome to me. Despite his efforts to change and atone for past actions, it's hard to overlook that just five years ago, he openly expressed his hatred towards me, even labeling me as pathetic, especially during my attempts to save our marriage fueled by love for him. His return seems driven by the belief that a couple of smiles and kind words could magically undo the damage he inflicted. Yet, I've realized that the sole person capable of repairing the harm is myself. Through self-love and dedication to my children, I've accomplished that healing. There's no room for him in my life anymore. Anticipating that shopping at the mall might spark unwarranted speculation about a rekindling of our past marriage, given that not everyone has forgotten our history, I proposed an alternative shopping destination. I wanted to avoid the likelihood of people jumping to the unpleasant assumption that we were getting back together, and I

AdrienMy brows furrowed in confusion as I stared at Rosalie. I believed we were having a moment - a meaningful moment where I hoped she could see how sincere I was but I was wrong. Her reaction to my words wasn't what I expected at all."What's wrong?" I inquired. "Did I say something wrong?""You don't know?" She scoffed in disbelief. "Whatever, I don't care. Just get out.""No, I'm not leaving until you tell me what I did or said wrong." I protested. "I thought we were having a moment.""No, you are the only one who thought that." She stated. "I can't believe you think thanking me for being the mother of your children will make me happy. Did you forget what you said to me six years ago?!""Six years ago?" Her question perplexed me. "I said so many things. Enlighten me, please.""On this day, six years ago, after we returned home from having dinner with your father, you were very upset by what he said and you didn't even let us get into the house before you accused me of planting th

Adrien "What?" The shock halted my movement abruptly. "She's not been picking her calls for over two days now, so I went to her apartment to check on her, but she wasn't there. I asked the doorman if he'd seen her recently, and he told me that she's not been home for two days," He explained. "Did you alert the police about her disappearance?" I questioned. "Yes, sir. I told them everything I know about her and they promised to get back to me." "Have you heard any news about her ex lately?" "No, sir." Norman said. "You think he's behind her disappearance?" "Yes, I have no doubt about it." I answered. "Have you informed her parents as well?" "Yes, sir." I ran my fingers through my hair. I couldn't leave for Aldovia as I had already made plans with my kids for Saturday. Their career day was tomorrow and they'd be crushed if I missed it. "I can't leave right now, Norman." I told him. "I'll let my father know and I'll keep you posted on whatever he says." Concluding my call wit
The Billionaire's Arranged Bride Chapter Twenty One
Rosalie I shouldn't permit this, yet I find myself unable to resist, nor do I have the desire to refrain. It has been five years since I experienced the touch of this man, so I am seizing this chance to satisfy that longing. My core pulsated with searing bolts of white-hot heat as he pinched and stroked, first one nipple and then the other, repeating the action while plundering my mouth until the tension in my body was nearly making me insane. Adrien ripped his mouth from mine, his breath coming in heavy pants. I was just as breathless and I let my head fall back, giving him access to the sensitive skin at my neck as he explored it with his tongue, his whiskered jaw rubbing against my cheek. "I want you." He rasped in my ear. "Let me have you again, Rosalie." I lifted my head to meet his hungry gaze, responding to his statement by removing my shirt and bra. Without uttering a word, I walked into my bedroom. As I removed my jeans and panties, the door closed with a click, and I qui

Adrien "This was a moment of weakness, Adrien. This means nothing." They say that revenge is a dish best served cold and that is exactly what Rosalie did to me after the amazing sex we had in her bedroom. She threw me out of her room and her house without caring about my feelings. My hope of being forgiven and accepted was dashed and I was left with an empty feeling inside of me. "Was this how she felt all those years ago?" I wondered. "Used and heartbroken?" As the hot water worked its magic on my muscles, I ran my hands over my face, feeling the tension release. "You were more than a jerk, Adrien Vasanten, you were a complete monster. You truly deserve this and more." After turning off the water, I wrapped a towel around my waist, opened the door, stepped out of the stall, and grabbed another towel to dry my hair. Once finished, I tossed it into the hamper. Frowning at my reflection, I took my toothbrush, applied a small amount of toothpaste, and aggressively brushed my teeth, h

Rosalie"Mama, where's daddy?" Mason asked during breakfast. "He's always here before we wake up.""Maybe something came up and he's running late. He'll be here soon." I assured him. Adrien showing up today would be less than ideal for me, given the uncertainty about whether I wanted to see him after last night's events. Despite my desire to forget everything, my mind betrayed me, leading to restless dreams of Adrien engaging in even more intimate activities. Consequently, I woke up in a cranky mood.My phone rang with an incoming call from Adrien, prompting a scowl at my screen. Despite my desire to reject the call, I couldn't resist answering, hoping he was calling to tell me that he wouldn't make it today. "Hello.""Good morning, Rosalie." He greeted.I rose to my feet and walked out of the kitchen to ensure my children couldn't overhear our conversation."What's good about the morning if it's your voice I have to hear first?" I snapped."My voice is definitely the fourth one you
The Billionaire's Arranged Bride Chapter Twenty Four
Adrien Two weeks. I granted myself a two-week break from work to be with my family, but it feels insufficient as my time here is now concluding. The two nights my children shared with me in my hotel room were the happiest nights of my life. I yearn for more such moments with them, but the distance between Aldovia and Cardenia makes it impossible, as my kids will remain here while I return to Aldovia. With my return to Aldovia in a week, I must persuade Rosalie to move back to Aldovia within that time frame, even though she might react strongly. Despite the potential backlash from her, I have too much at stake not to attempt it. While some men shy away from marrying single mothers, others appreciate a ready-made family, and I can't risk leaving her here for someone else to seize the opportunity of making her his wife and becoming the stepfather of my children. "Sir, are you listening to me?" Norman's concerned voice interrupted my thoughts during our video conference call. "Yes,"
