Chapter Thirteen

Corene’s POV

Today was another busy day as the CEO of Knight Mall and Jewelry. Being in charge of one of the top luxury brands in the country came with both pride and pressure. It was a good yet heavy responsibility to bear. Every day I found myself attending meetings, talking to impatient clients, reviewing designs, signing documents, and occasionally scolding my workers when they slacked off.

Honestly, I needed a proper massage. My shoulders were stiff, and my back ached from sitting too long at my desk. But then again, it was all worth it. I wasn’t complaining, not really. If I had to go through long days to sit in this gorgeous office, fly first-class anywhere I wanted, and wear designer clothes head to toe, then so be it. Not that I wasn’t rich before, but Knight Jewelry elevated my name even higher in the business world.

I sighed, resting my chin on my palm, my thoughts drifting toward my messy, chaotic life.

Just then, a knock on my office door snapped me back

  • The Billionare's Wife   Wise words.

    Chapter SeventeenI woke up unusually early the next morning, and for the first time in a long while, I was in a genuinely good mood. Maybe it was because of what happened last night, the way Theodore had spoken to me, the unexpected warmth in his words. I wasn’t sure, but whatever it was, I wanted to hold onto this feeling for as long as I could.After a refreshing shower, I got dressed and headed downstairs to tidy up the living room. Theodore had cleaners who came by regularly, so I only handled light chores—sweeping, arranging the cushions, or polishing the glass table. It wasn’t much, but it made me feel useful, like I was doing something meaningful around the house.Lately, I’d been making very simple breakfasts, and I had a feeling the girls were getting tired of it. “Alright,” I muttered to myself, picking up my phone. “Let’s try something new today.”I opened YouTube and began scrolling through cooking tutorials. There were so many options—pancakes, omelettes, French toast,

  • The Billionare's Wife   My responsibility.

    Chapter Sixteen“How long are you going to keep working at a restaurant a secret?” he asked.I froze on the spot, my heart skipping a beat as his words sank in. My eyes widened in shock. Dear Gods, I’m screwed. How did he find out?I wanted to say something, but my voice got trapped in my throat. My lips parted, but nothing came out. My mind went completely blank, as though every excuse I could think of had suddenly vanished. I hadn’t even been working at the restaurant for that long, why did he have to find out now, of all times?He took off his jacket and sat down on the couch, his legs crossed, his hands resting lazily on the armrests. Though his gaze wasn’t fixed directly on me, I could feel the weight of his presence, the quiet intensity that always made me nervous. I knew he was waiting for an explanation, and I had no idea what kind of reaction to expect. Was he going to yell at me? Or worse, hit me?“I…” I began, hesitantly. I at least had to try to explain myself. “I’m sorry

  • The Billionare's Wife   Exposed.

    Chapter FifteenKevin’s POVI watched the commotion unfold in the restaurant. At first, I wanted to step in, but luckily, President Davis did. Honestly, how could that man even think of bullying Mrs. Knight? If Mr. Knight finds out about this, that man is surely going to jail.I turned around and headed back to the company, still processing what I had just witnessed. Earlier today, I’d been keeping an eye on her, waiting outside the Knight mansion for hours, hoping she would come out at least once, to shop, meet someone, anything but she didn’t. I finally asked one of the security guards, and he told me she always goes out every morning, which was strange. From everything I’d heard, she was supposed to be a stay-at-home wife.The guard gave me directions to the route she usually takes. But one question kept running through my mind, why would Mrs. Knight, the wife of a billionaire, leave the house without a driver? Was she doing something shady?After hours of searching, I got tired an

    Chapter FourteenMy anger wasn’t reducing, not even after finishing a strawberry drink. I needed to breathe, to get out of this company before I exploded. The atmosphere here was suffocating me.“Stella, let’s take a stroll out of here. This room is too small to hold the anger in me,” I said to my assistant, who quickly nodded in agreement. We both walked out of the company building without another word.My Tesla was parked in the lot, its flashy pink color standing out among the dull shades of black and gray cars around. I liked it that way—attention-grabbing, loud, and unapologetically me.“Where do you want to go?” Stella asked as she got into the passenger seat.“Somewhere calm. Maybe a nearby café or restaurant,” I replied flatly, crossing my legs as the driver started the car.I told him to take us anywhere he thought would help me cool off, and soon enough, he pulled up in front of a small café tucked into a quiet corner of the city. The place looked peaceful, exactly what I ne

  • The Billionare's Wife   Hiding something?

    Chapter TwelveAfter finishing his work for the day, Theodore leaned back in his chair and exhaled deeply. The office was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the ticking of the clock on the wall. He had been working non-stop since morning — conference calls, contract reviews, and meetings that seemed endless. Not a moment of rest. For the first time that day, he allowed himself to breathe, his muscles relaxing slightly as he stared at the ceiling.Lately, he hadn’t even had time to think about what was going on in his personal life — or rather, the life he shared with Layla.His marriage.He wondered if this was how things would continue between them, two people living under the same roof yet completely detached from each other. They barely spoke, barely looked at one another unless necessary. It wasn’t a marriage; it was more like a silent arrangement. He had to admit, it was beginning to bother him more than he expected.His friend Mason’s words echoed in his m
