Chapter 22

I sank into the sofa, arms crossed tightly over my chest, watching Dylan and Grandma chatting a few feet away. Their voices were low, a soft murmur I couldn't quite catch, though I had a pretty good idea of what they were discussing.

Earlier, Dylan had actually asked Grandma if she’d be okay with us getting "married" eventually. I honestly thought she’d say no—I mean, I’m her only grandchild—but to my surprise, she practically jumped at the chance! She

    BOOK 2 CHAPTER 50“Excuse me but…” Dylan pushed the woman away, and I took that opportunity to see who she was. “Who are you?”I blinked repeatedly because no matter how much I stared at her face, I couldn't recognize her. I had never seen her before in my life. My first thought was that she might be Dylan’s ex-girlfriend since she had called him ‘Love,’ but that suspicion quickly vanished when Dylan asked who she was, showing that even Dylan didn’t recognize her.The woman finally stepped away from Dylan, and I straightened my posture. She certainly enjoyed that hug, didn't she? It was as if they hadn't seen each other in years.“I am deeply offended by your question, Dylan.”I instinctively swallowed hard upon hearing her voice. It sounded like... I blinked several times, my eyes still glued to her. Even Dylan w

  • The Billionaire's Rebound Wife (English)   BOOK 2 CHAPTER 49

    BOOK 2 CHAPTER 49I felt like I was running out of air because of the intense tension between us. It felt like there wasn't enough oxygen inside the car and I couldn't breathe. A deafening silence enveloped the two of us, and I began to regret telling him about it just now.“I thought Aziel and Brielle already told you that my contract with their family is only for six months. I made that clear to them before they even hired me,” I added.“I thought he’s just fucking kidding me.”I swallowed hard again upon hearing the tone of Dylan's voice. I felt like he was about to consume me whole, the anger radiating so clearly from him.“Are you going to get mad at me again because of what you just found out?” I asked softly.I had prepared myself for his anger a long time ago. I knew that once he found out everything, he would explode

  • The Billionaire's Rebound Wife (English)   BOOK 2 CHAPTER 48

    BOOK 2 CHAPTER 48Even though Brielle told me that Dylan and I shouldn't return to the city yet, I still couldn't do what she wanted because Dylan was absolutely determined to go home, no matter how much I insisted.He said he needed to return to the city for work because his coworkers kept calling him, and he had no other choice; otherwise, he might lose his job—which I didn't believe for a second. Hello, he's the Chief of Police. With his high rank, his bosses would have a hard time firing him.Not that I'm being shameless or assuming things, but I felt like the real reason he wanted us to go back to the city was because he wanted me all to himself. He knew Brielle and the others wouldn't be back for quite some time, so I would be staying at his house for now. Besides, we wouldn't be able to talk much here in the countryside, especially since his entire clan was here, and it felt like they would put a scandalous

    BOOK 2 CHAPTER 47“Why can’t Dylan and I go back to the city yet?”Brielle let out a series of heavy sighs on the other end of the line, sounding as if she were facing a massive problem. It was morning now, and Dylan and I were scheduled to travel back to the city this afternoon, so I really couldn't understand why Brielle was suddenly calling me out of nowhere.“Just listen to me, Thalia. Someone called us from there and trust me… it was chaotic! You two can't go back yet. Just wait for Aziel and me. We already booked our flight. We're on our way back to the city too. While we're not there yet, you and Dylan should just stay there in the countryside.”“What? But we're leaving this afternoon,” I insisted. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dylan enter my room.“What is it?” Dylan asked, making me look up at him. He sat

    BOOK 2 CHAPTER 46“You’re being stubborn again, Kaia. Finish that, or if you want, I’ll feed you myself.”My eyes immediately rolled when I heard what he called me. “You’ve been calling me that for a while now, haven't you noticed? I told you, my name is Thalia, not Kaia,” I corrected him.He laughed softly and looked my way. He set the bowl of porridge down on the bedside table before sitting on the edge of my bed. I couldn't help but swallow hard as I felt his presence so close to me.“Nah. I will call you Kaia until you call yourself Kaia.”I scoffed. I knew I shouldn't be offended, but I felt like the only reason he was taking care of me was because he saw me as his wife—not because he actually cared about who I really was.I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes. “Are we going to fight abo

    BOOK 2 CHAPTER 45“I told you to drink your medicine a while ago. I didn't know you hadn't taken it.”“I forgot,” was my only response as I covered my face with a pillow.I was in my room now, feeling absolutely terrible. I had said earlier that my fever would probably go away today or tomorrow, but I must have been incredibly foolish to say that because my fever was much higher now than it was earlier.Ever since Dylan and I had lunch, I had rushed straight to my room to hide out of pure embarrassment. I had casually told him earlier that I was more likely to end up liking him than his cousin, and ever since I said that, Dylan hadn't lost that playful smirk on his face. I knew exactly what was running through his mind.Out of sheer embarrassment after eating, I had immediately excused myself and hid in my room. And to make matters worse, in my rush, I com

  • The Billionaire's Rebound Wife (English)   Chapter 08

    The past few days have been fun… at least in my definition. Nights blurred into parties, mornings turned into afternoons, and sleep became optional. I liked that kind of chaos. But like everything else in my life, it didn’t last.I shot up from my seat as rage surged through me.“What do you mean I

    “I was so humiliated, Aziel. Damn. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that kind of embarrassment in my entire life,” I complained as I rushed out of the house.Aziel let out a deep sigh on the other end of the line. “You don’t even know how to feel shame,” he muttered.I stopped walking and forced myself

    “You’re n-not Dylan’s girlfriend?”I arched my brow and lifted one shoulder in a lazy shrug. “Do I look like his girlfriend?” I said, deliberately sarcastic. I noticed her expression darken at my answer, but I brushed it off like it didn’t matter.“Danielle, I already told you… that’s not Brielle,”

    “Do you really think acting like a brat is going to help you survive, Kaia?”I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Aziel’s voice on the other end of the call. I rolled my eyes in pure disappointment.“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier?” I snapped. “It wasn’t entirely my fault. The way I re
