Ryder Lake was a trending tag right now.

Attached to it, were articles that were posted within the last hour. Most of them, multiplying by the second.

And right there in half of them, captured from what looked like the entrance of Tecna Tower, was a figure in a familiar brown bag and a dark jacket.

It was Victoria.

The shot was angled and her face wasn’t clear but everything else was. Her bag. Her shoes. The way she walked.

The headlines were absolutely mean, tearing down every bit of

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 38 : The Election

    Victoria broke into a cold sweat. She had simply charged in, staged all of this, to get revenge on Rita. She hadn’t told him the plan, but expected him to be delighted in the end.Had she made a mistake somewhere.“No. I don’t know what I’ve done...” She answered honestly.Ryder took several steps forward, and she instinctively took several backwards until her back hit the balcony's railings. He stopped a hair's breadth away, eyes focused on hers suddenly softened. “You’ve basically helped me win the election later.”Victoria let out a sigh of relief. Still she felt a tad bit uncomfortable by the way he stared intensely at her.“Yeah, that was nothing.” She said with an awkward laugh.Ryder shook his head and began to pace around the balcony. “It isn’t nothing. For years, Rita has been prancing around with her holier than thou act, while playing dirty to bring me down. What you did today has knocked her down from my path. I...” He suddenly stopped walking, then turned to h

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 37 : When Two Cheaters Meet

    YESTERDAY “Daniel, once you drop me off at the penthouse, can you please do something for me?”Victoria looked up at her bodyguard expectantly. The man’s expression didn’t shift even for the tiniest fraction. “I’m at your service, ma'am.”Victoria observed the man for a moment. Ryder had told her Daniel was his most trusted man. So she decided to directly lay out what she was thinking.“Rita, my husband’s sister was here. I think she’s still inside. I want you to follow her throughout today, and watch where she goes. If you see her doing anything that is...” She paused to find the right words. “...unproblematic, I need you to capture it on video. Or even photos.”Daniel, although unsure of what she was insinuating, nodded, ready to carry out orders. “Yes ma’am.”Victoria first went Julie’s place — her old apartment — while Daniel went out to follow Rita. She sat on the couch with folded arms, while she thought over her hunch. When she had run into Rita in the store, the wom

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 36 : Now We're Even

    “You left me alone with our son!”The moment the woman screamed this, Rita sprung out of her seat. The chair scraped against the floor, resounding in the silent hall. “What did you say?” She bellowed.The woman was unmoved by the menace in her voice, and continued to ignore her, eyes on Arthur.“You told me you divorced your wife! That she was unbearable!”“Shut up!” Arthur’s body locked up with both rage and fear. “You’re a liar! I’ve never met either of you!”“Really?” The redhead woman seared forward. “Oh, but I have proof! I have several of our sex tapes!”Arthur’s face blanched, as he staggered, clutching the tablecloth for balance.“Ack!”Rather than steadying himself, he yanked the cloth with all his weight.Plates, glasses and half-finished cups of coffee crashed onto the marble floor. The floral centrepiece toppled over, scattering roses across the floor.With a startled cry, Arthur crashed flat onto his back. All the food came toppling on him, staining him from h

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 35 : Don't Know Who They Are

    This time, Victoria couldn’t stop Ryder from stepping forward, shielding her from his father. “I found someone I wanted.” Ryder snapped, his tone filled with warning. “That’s generally how marriage works.”“Don’t be clever with me.” Rocco replied. “Then don’t insult my wife in the building I own.”Victoria was taken aback by how protective he sounded. It sounded like he was seconds away from calling his bodyguards to send them away. She realised, he had to act like this to play his role well. The hall around them went briefly still. The guests who were seated, all watched the father and son with total interest, like they were breakfasts entertainment. Rocco straightened his jacket. “I’m not insulting anyone. I’m asking reasonable questions about a woman who has appeared in my son’s life overnight and is now wearing the Lake name.”“You’re overstepping.” Ryder sneered.Rita, who had been listening from three feet away, stepped forward pretending to be some sort of peacema

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 34 : Mess With Her Plan

    The next day, Victoria was at an event centre owned by Tecna, and holding a breakfast meeting. She was using the guise of a simple introduction to the Lake family. Last night, she had sent out sudden invites to the Lake family, close relatives and associates. Ryder had helped her with that part. But the rest of her grand plan she wanted to execute? Ryder was in the dark.This, Ryder didn’t like at all. Being out of the loop felt unpleasant. “You’re still not going to tell me what you're going to do here?” He asked Victoria for the umpteenth time. “Nope.” She responded, keeping the brilliant smile she used to usher guests in. She was adamant on him watching the show without knowing beforehand.White tablecloths were spread. Fresh flowers all around. Breakfast was served across three long tables. Staff moved between them with coffee pots and juice pitchers.Victoria stood at the entrance and surveyed it all. She smoothed the front of her dress, came close to Ryder and whispe

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 33: His Crumbling Defences

    Like he had been stung, Ryder suddenly moved away from her. Victoria almost stumbled, but was able to regain her balance. She shuffled awkwardly, and said the first thing that came to her mind.“I bought things. For the events. Like you said.” She practically pushed the items into his face.Ryder stepped away. “I see the bags, Victoria.”“There are also some things for you. In one of them. The shirts. I saw some that I thought—” She took a deep breath, trying to calm down her rambling. Ryder said nothing and gave her the space to recollect herself. He turned and walked to the living room.She set the bags down near the couch, took off her heels, and followed."Where were you?" She asked."Busy." He said gruffly, before he dropped into the armchair and reached for his laptop.Victoria was surprised by his cold tone. ‘Busy wasn’t an answer to her question. She felt the urge to point that out, but willed herself to be silent. It wasn’t in her place to push for such answers.
