"What are you doing here?" I asked, feigning innocence.

We were now in his office, although I hadn't initially planned to follow him. He'd pulled me along, threatening to have me arrested for impersonation. Of course I'd acted surprised and frightened by his threat, which had ultimately led us here.

"You should be asking yourself that. What are you doing here?" he retorted sharply.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his question. "Well, I'm here to look for a job. I heard there's a job fair going on. If I knew you'd be here, I wouldn’t have come here," I added in a hushed tone, which seemed to catch his attention as his eyebrows furrowed.

"Why? Because you thought I’m going to catch you?”

"Excuse me? I think there's been some confusion. I'm just a woman looking for a job, not someone trying to escape something. Who do you think you are, the police?" I countered boldly.

"I'm not playing games here, Veronica."

"Do I look like I'm playing here? And by the way, my name isn't Veronica." I

  • The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife   Special Chapter 2

    During the months that I hadn't seen Kassandra, I felt like I was slowly losing my sanity. All the fear I experienced when I learned about the accident she had faced had me on edge. Not finding her body in the burning car gave me a glimmer of hope that she might still be alive. Veronica revealed that the woman in the car was her. She pretended to be Kassandra. This was one of the reasons we hesitated to expose her deception, as we suspected she might be holding Kassandra captive. However, as I tracked and observed her, I realized that even she was searching for Kassandra. I hadn't thought her to be that cunning. She had succeeded in tarnishing Kassandra's reputation, and when the truth came out that she had done nothing, she stole Kassandra's identity. I informed Kassandra's father that the girl we had been with was an impostor. To my surprise, he was already aware because Kassandra had left behind the results of a DNA test and some evidence in his office. Together, we devised a pl

  • The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife   Special Chapter 1

    Zackarious "Where is she now?" I asked over the phone. "I found her entering a bar, sir. She's now on the dance floor, dancing," said my investigator. My jaw dropped when I heard it. And finally! my ex-wife, Veronica, also showed up. I've been searching for her for weeks now because I intend to make her pay for what she did to our son. Stealing money from my company? I can forgive that, but harming my child? I can't overlook that. She cheated on me several times and left us for another man. I admit that I was preoccupied with work, but I made every effort to cater to all her desires. I can't believe she would betray me like this. I married her when I learned that I had impregnated her. I've had past relationships with women, and accidentally impregnating someone is something I cannot turn my back. So, even though I didn't have strong feelings for Veronica, I married her. We were together for years, and even though our family wasn't perfect, I made sure that we stayed together and

  • The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife   Chapter 55

    This is the last chapter of the story. The next chapter would be special chapters under Zackarious point of view....I woke up lying in a hospital bed, the world slowly coming back into my senses. The voices of people talking around me filled the room."I want that woman and all her accomplices to rot in hell!""They definitely will, sir. The case filed against them is layer by layer. We also have lots of evidence, so we can definitely win the case."I gradually opened my eyes, greeted by the sight of a white ceiling. The voices drew closer."She's awake!" someone exclaimed. Footsteps approached, and soon after, I saw my dad being pushed in a wheelchair by a nurse. Tears welled up in his eyes as he tightly held my hand."My child, I’m sorry! It's my fault why this happened to you. If only I had listened to you from the beginning, you wouldn't have suffered like this!" he cried.A smile broke across my face, though my eyes brimmed with tears. I hadn't seen my father in a long time, an

  • The Billionaire's Mistaken Wife   Chapter 54

    WARNING: This chapter contains violence not suitable for young readers. This is a work of fiction but still, you may find the scenes distressing enough so I highly encourage everyone to stop reading if underage. Thank you.I tightly shut my eyes, tears streaming down my cheeks. The regrets of yesterday flooded my mind. There were moments when I had complained about the life I lived, not realizing that someone like Veronica had been working tirelessly to take my place. Memories of my mother's final moments rushed back to me. She had expressed her happiness at my birth, despite being abandoned by those she thought would protect her. She had told me that I was her only treasure, her one hope in a world that seemed determined to see her fail.I could barely recall her voice, but her scent and her warm embrace were etched deep within my memory. Though our time together had been short and devoid of many happy moments, I knew she had always been by my side, silently guiding me. I had harbore

    "You know how fortunate you are, Kassandra, because you have parents. Everything you desire is handed to you on a silver platter. You've never had to wander the streets, yearning that you should have never been born. You know what's ironic? I even liked your father, despite knowing that his promises to hand me the company were empty threats for you. I knew he was just trying to intimidate you. I suspect he's aware that I'm not truly his daughter. But you know what made me happy? He accepted me, even though he knew I wasn't his daughter. But what have you done, Kassandra? You've only hurt your father, rebelled against him. If you talk back to him, it's as if he's not your parent. You should be in my shoes, because you don't deserve all the privileges you have," Veronica sneered.I shot her a venomous glare."And you know what? When he found out I had an accident and supposedly died? He hardly seemed to care. He even appeared to breathe a sigh of relief because, instead of you, it was m

    Instead of heading straight to Dad's place, I made my way back to my condominium. I stood in dumbfounded silence, staring at my own reflection in the elevator. I knew what lay ahead if I followed Veronica's wants. No matter how many times such choices were presented to me, my resolve to obey for Rious' safety remained unshaken. He was the most important, and I cared little for what Veronica might inflict upon me. I just wanted Rious to be safe.Acting swiftly, I changed into pants so I could move more easily to escape, packed essential items into a small backpack, and tried to come up with a plan, although my nervousness about Veronica's intentions enter me. Regardless, I had to go through with it. If it was true that she could predict my actions, I had to catch her off guard.I stashed money, knives, water, and crackers in my bag. There was still ample time until the scheduled meeting, so I had time to strategize how to be ahead of Veronica.She claimed to know when I reported anythi
