“It’s good to hear you say that but it hurts to know you don’t trust your mama anymore.” Rhoda chuckled, returning her daughter’s hug.

“Don’t be sad, mama,” Lauretta mumbled, pulling away from the hug. “It’s not that I don’t trust you but this was looking so impossible to lay a hand on.” She gestured at the invite. “You know how much I hate keeping my hopes up so I don’t get disappointed but you proved me wrong once more. I’m so proud to have you as my mom.” Lori grinned.

“Of course.” Rhoda tried to hide her blush. “It was tough but I did it. I’m not sure an opportunity like this would present itself anytime soon so we need to make the best of this event.” Rhoda said sternly.

“Of course, Mom. I won’t disappoint you. I promise.”

“But won’t you fill me in on how you were able to lay a hand on the invite? Don Travous’s parties are always a big deal. My friends would be so fucking jealous when I post pictures of the event.”

“Of course they’ve got every right to be jealous of you. You ma

  • The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire   Chapter 39

    Cassie’s POV The next Morning. I moaned in my sleep when I felt a hand fondle with my nipple. The pleasure that came with the gesture was too good to be true for a dream so I instantly knew who was behind it. “Shawn?” With my eyes closed, I whispered his name. “Morning sweets!” He kissed the side of my forehead, still fondling my nipple with his fingers. We were in a spooning position I think.“What are you up to?” I was sleepy but my body was on fire. Hardly had I recovered from what he made me go through last night and now I was faced with this.“You like?” I could feel the desire in his voice. “No,” I mumbled.“Liar!!!” He said, let go of my nipple, pulled my nightie up, above my ass, and started caressing my butt cheeks. That was another part of my body that he loved so much.“You are getting too addicted,” I mumbled, loving the feel of his palm on my ass.“You are my wife.”“You seem to remind me every day.”“Yes, because you are still in denial.” he moved one of my legs fur

  • The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire   Chapter 40

    Cassie’s POV I tried to search for the right words to say but nothing came out when I parted my lips. “For who?” I mumbled, knowing that I sounded dumb right now. But the truth was that; I was still not comfortable with his nice gestures and I fear that I never will.“Do you like it?” He asked, ignoring my question.“It’s beautiful but I hope it’s not for me.” “You need to get used to this lifestyle,” Shawn mumbled. He took the necklace off the box, tossed the box aside, then walked behind me.“You smell so good.” He whispered and kissed the nape of my neck. I swallowed painfully when I felt him place the jewelry on my neck. He did that easily because my hair was not in the way. It was parked in a bridal style. Shawn slowly twirled me around. “Perfect! You make the jewelry beautiful.” His statement made reality hit me. “Was that why Tina didn’t want me to use my necklace?” “You deserve something timeless so I told her I was going to take care of it.” My husband said, calmly.“B

    Cassie’s Pov.I tried to take Shawn’s hands off my waist but he just wouldn’t budge. “We had a deal. You said you wouldn’t be nasty.”“I need to know what’s going on in your head before you begin to accuse me.” He said like someone who had done nothing wrong.“I had no idea why my heart was racing fast. The thought of him doing silly things to me in public scared me. Sadly, I was beginning to anticipate it even though I didn’t want it.‘Shut up! You want his dick so much!’ my subconscious mocked me.“We are going to be at the party. In the midst of reputable people like you said. How in hell would your mind be elsewhere?”“We shall see, honey.” He leaned close and placed a kiss on my forehead. “You don’t have to be nervous. I won’t let you feel pain and neither would I embarrass you.” “Please let’s get out of here,” I mumbled, not trusting myself anymore. Shawn pulled me closer. “Scared?”“We are going to be late,” I grumbled, ignoring the tingling feelings in my stomach.“I’ll be

    Cassie’s POV The driver pulled before a tall and exquisite building. He opened the door for Shawn. Shawn got down and then made his way to the other side of the car. He opened the door for me, then stretched out a hand to help me down. I accepted it while thanking him in a low tone. He politely pulled me closer to him, then placed his hand on the small of my back. “Remember, you are not to leave my side, don’t pay attention to anyone who gawks at you, and let me know if you feel uncomfortable or if anyone messes with you.” The possessiveness in Shawn’s voice instantly made me feel secure. Regardless, I was curious to see what an elite’s party entailed. “Ready?” Shawn asked, then took a slow glance at me. From head to toe. “I hope I’m not putting myself in danger for bringing you here in this fit.” “I think you hype me too much. I’m not bothered because I know I am not going to be best dressed. I’m sure every woman in there has been attending parties like this since forever so th

    Cassie’s Pov Travous’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. “Pardon my reaction, Cassie. I was shocked because we thought he was never going to settle down. Thank you for making him realize marriage can be such a beautiful thing. And it’s good to meet you.” He stretched out a hand to me and I smiled, returning the shake. “Happy Birthady! And good to meet you too.” “Thank you. You look gorgeous by the way.” He said to me, then turned to Shawn. “Aren’t you a lucky thing?” “Thank you,” I responded with a nervous chuckle, finding it hard to believe a mogul was complimenting me. “I know I am. That’s why I’m not going to let anyone take her away from me.” “I should probably introduce her to Mary,” Travous said, then his eyes went searching the crowd for the person bearing that name. Shawn leaned close to me and stole a kiss from me. My eyes went wide. “We are in the public,” I said looking at his lips for any trace of evidence but there was none.He smiled. “So?” “Be good!” I warned

    Lauretta’s Pov The driver pulled up before the venue, came down from the limo, then opened the door for us. My mom got down first, then I followed suit.“You look sad. What is it, my child?” My mom asked me; the worry not leaving her face. “The press. They should be here taking pictures and flooding them on social media. How are my friends going to know that I attended this party in a limo?” I grumbled.“Come on, sweets. We can always take pictures ourselves.” “Yes, I know. But wouldn’t it be honorable if they saw the videos and pictures on the top bloggers’ page? They would be so shocked, especially the ones who doubted me.”“True but you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I am sure the press are inside. Maybe two or three. You know this is a private party and it was hard to get a pass too. Don Travous probably wants to respect and protect the privacy of his guests.” Rhoda said but I was still not convinced. I already envisioned how today was meant to be. By this time, I was to be po

    Lauretta’s Pov My chest continued to rise and fall in anger as I stared at the witch before me. Tell me why the hell she was seated beside a very handsome man. A man who looks better than Joel. Or could he be my husband? I swear I was going to rip her hair off if the man beside her turned out to be the man that my mother carefully picked for me. After accessing him, my eyes went back to Cassie. I swallowed painfully seeing her dress in more detail. As someone who spent most of her life obsessing about designer items, even though I couldn’t afford them, I could tell which outfit was real or fake. My heart sank in the realization of what Cassie was wearing. It was an exclusive piece designed for the high and mighty. I wasn’t sure about the exact figure but the price was capable of buying me all the luxury stuff I needed in my life right now.I thought I had seen it all when my eyes landed on her neckpiece. Even a dullard would know that that was some real diamonds. No, this can’t be

    Lauretta’s pov“What the hell?” I cursed, coming face-to-face with the culprit. The guests who occupied the tables next to us were starting to stare but I couldn’t care less. It was a huge disrespect for Cassie to be under the same roof as me tonight. He was an elderly man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, he smelled and looked rich, and I almost gasped at the sight of his wristwatch. I saw that clearly when he placed the glass of champagne back on the table. But I was confused. How did Cassie get to know these people?“Donald?” I heard my mom utter in disbelief. I turned to face her and saw her staring with wide eyes.“You know him, mama?” “He is meant to be the father of the cripple?” My mom responded. That was meant to be a whisper but the whole table heard that.Donald took slow steps towards the other side of the table, stood beside Cassie, then tucked a hand in his pocket. “Good to see you, Rhoda.” My mom frowned at him. “What are you doing here? And what’s up with this outf

  • The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire   Chapter 58

    Shawn’s Pov “I thought it was my secretary.” I mumbled.“Your secretary? Don’t tell me you left your sick wife at home when you can clearly work from home.” Kelvin scolded.I let go of the paper I was holding so I could focus on the call.I said nothing.“Come on, Shawn. What’s more important than your wife’s health?” “I’m busy, Kelv. Why did you call?” I spoke, knowing I had no strength left in me to engage in any banter.“Why are you this rigid? I called to ask how Cassie is doing. I thought you both were already getting along pretty well?” “The pain has subsided, and I’m following up with the doctor. Doreen will keep an eye on her while I’m away.” I answered. “That’s not the trait of a good husband. She needs you now more than ever.” Kelv pushed.“No, she doesn’t,” I responded.“Did she tell you that, or are you just making up stories for me so I can let you be?” I heaved a deep sigh. “We are presently not on good terms, but that doesn’t mean I do not care about her. I’ve got

  • The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire   Chapter 57

    Shawn’s Pov Yes, I was angry because my wife put her life in danger over a misunderstanding that could have been cleared up in minutes if she had opened up to me. I was also mad at myself for not going after her immediately when she left the table and most importantly, I was pissed to know that Stella did all of these and made her believe her nasty statements. But I started to hate myself all over again when tears rolled down Cassie’s cheeks.I puffed out some air, then brought my hand up to wipe her tears but she slapped my hand away before I could touch her face. “Don’t touch me.” She sniffled, glaring at me at the same time.“ I shouldn’t have let you leave my side in the first place. I know I said some harsh words, but it’s the truth. I care about you, but sometimes you really push me to the edge. Stella is my ex, of course, she’s not going to tell you anything good about me.”“So, she didn’t leave you because you were not ready to start a family?” Cassie challenged.Those were

  • The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire   Chapter 56

    Cassie’s Pov It took a while for my vision to clear after I had opened my eyes. I was sleeping on my side, and opposite me was a single couch that Shawn occupied. I think he passed the night there. He was still putting on the outfit he wore last night. The only things he discarded were his jacket and shoes. He looked really uncomfortable. I let out a soft groan as I sat up, being careful of my hand.Shawn opened his eyes, then rushed to my side as fast as his legs could carry him. He placed a kiss on the side of my forehead before taking a seat opposite me. His eyes were filled with worry, and he looked so exhausted. As though he hardly had any sleep last night. “How are you? Are you still in pain?” He asked with a hoarse voice, staring at me intently. He reached for my hand. Not the one I sprained, but I pulled away.I didn’t miss the hurt in his eyes. “Are you still mad at me?” I said nothing, even though I stared at him in return. “I would rather you hit me or shout at me th

    Shawn’s POV I stared in confusion because all of this was just so hard to comprehend. I shook my head. “We were cool, but when I came back to the table, she seemed pretty upset. Then she excused herself.” “This is probably not the right time to say this, but I don’t think she was happy seeing you with your ex.” Kelvin voiced out. I arched my brow. “You know it’s work, right? I would not have called Cassie to the stage and then gone running after another woman moments later.” “I know! So it’s best to appoint someone else to take over your negotiations with her.” My younger brother advised. “I’m sorry to interfere, but I don’t think this conversation is important. At least for now. As much as I would love to believe that she had an accident, I know it’s not. I have a feeling she was attacked, but she wouldn’t say anything to me. She just kept crying because she was in pain.” Kelvin’s Girl said. I ran my fingers through my hair while letting out a very loud puff. Cassie had very

    Lauretta’s POV “Take that food away or else I’ll make a mess and I won’t feel sorry about it.” I sniffed. My mom was seated beside me, holding a tray that contained a plate of pasta.“Yeah, I know you hate me so much right now, but you need to eat. You’ve not had anything all day because of your excitement for tonight. Eat your food first, then we will think of the way forward.” Rhoda pleaded.“I don’t deserve to eat anything. The one thing I wanted has been taken away from me. Let me just starve to death since life seems to be against me.” I brought my hands to my face and wiped tears off the corners of my eyes. I had taken off my so-called designer dress and was now in my nightwear. I had taken my makeup off, too. Same with my mom. “No, my child. You do not deserve to die.”“I know this is partly my fault, but I wouldn’t have known because they appeared to be poor before me. I mean, why would I be rich and then disguise myself to be crippled? Or why the hell would I be rich and w

    Cassie’s POV “You okay?” Tessa asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Yeah, yeah!” I mumbled, trying to shrug off the itchy feeling in my eyes. “You don’t seem as cheerful as you were. Did I say anything to offend you?” “I’m sorry!” She added, looking guilty already. “No, no, it’s fine. She doesn’t attend events anymore?” I reiterated. Tessa nodded. “Stella used to be very outgoing. Always present at high-class events, but it changed when she got married. She wasn’t even at the company’s anniversary last month.” I arched a brow at Tessa.She smiled shyly. “I work at her Father’s company.” “But you are cool. Very pretty and nice. I like you for Shawn. Even though I don’t really like him.” She said, I don’t know if it was the tone of her voice or the distaste in her eyes when she spoke about not liking Shawn that made me chuckle. I think I was grateful for that as it eased my tension from what I saw earlier. “Why?” I asked. “And here I was, thinking he had so many fans.” “He

    Cassie’s Pov The desk I was seated on was so perfect. It was as though it was made for us because Shawn could comfortably fuck me on it. It was only now I realized how hard silent sex was. It was difficult stuffing in my moans because I didn’t want anyone to suspect us, especially when the sex was so good. “I’ve been wanting to do this since I saw you in this dress.” “Your cock!” I moaned as I felt my eyes heavy with tears. Tears of pleasure!There was something so different about the way Shawn was making love to me right now. His pace was not fast and neither was it slow. It was just perfect and what made it more intense was the fact that we couldn’t touch each other as much as we wanted so as not to ruin our dress or my makeup. It felt as though we were trying to be good kids while slightly violating the rules. “What about it, baby?” His voice filled with desire as he continued to drill me.“Feels so good.” I moaned. Shawn pulled me down from the table, he bent me over the de

    Lauretta’s POV “Cassie’s name as one of the donors of Risseus? Are you freaking kidding me?” I challenged Joel, ignoring whatever my mom said. “What did she even do to deserve that? It’s hardly a month since she got married and she did to a cripple. Not Shawn. I really do not understand what is going on but Shawn is not being truthful either.” I said at a go, ignoring the tricks that my mind was playing on me about Cassie having a better life than me.“I get that you are furious but I am only telling you what I know. That document didn’t look fake and besides, my uncle instantly got a text from the estate company, congratulating him on being a resident.”“What?” I said in disbelief, my eyes wide. “Also, he wouldn’t want to ruin his reputation before his father and brother,” Joel said.I frowned. “His father and brother are in there?” “When we got to the dessert table, you left me to go attend to some people.” I shook my head. “That was my step-sister, her lover, and her asshole fa

    Lauretta’s Pov “How dare you lay your filthy hands on my…….” My mother challenged, about to hit Cassie in the face but Cas held Rhoda’s hand halfway, stopping her before she even finished making her sentence. She pushed my mom and soon enough, my mother was on the floor beside me. I was confused as to how she had the power to toss us away like we weighed nothing. “Don’t you dare call me names in your life anymore!” Cassie warned, pointing at us as though we were some piece of shit.“You all, don’t mind her, please.” My mom started to defend us because truly, the situation was embarrassing. Being treated like this before the cream of society means we were done for good. I brought my finger up to my face and wiped tears away from the corner of my eyes. “She’s an ungrateful child. Ever since she lost her parents, I have been the one taking care of her and fending for her but just look at how she repaid me for all the love that I showered on her?” my mom sniffled. “I loved her even mor
