LEVI BANKS

The night was longer than the usual ones, certainly because my mind kept reeling with different thoughts and imaginations..

Despite the replies I gave his messages yesterday, questions like..

“What if he kissed her already?.. damn those lips I don't intend on sharing!!”

“Or what he had forced her into having a second nightstand like he mentioned that day?”

“How's Sophia faring? Had she been thinking of me or she now hates me because he had made her believe I willingly let her go to set myself free?..”

..had filled my mind, giving me no chance to think of something else.

My mind kept aching and I continually got under the faucet to cool my brain with the cold water..

And that only eased the throbbing headache a little bit.

The thoughts were literally making me go insane and it's even surprising that I dozed off at a point. I never intended on sleeping, not eve

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Runaway plan

    SOPHIA LANGFORD My daily routine at Ethan's house had become a bleak cycle: wake up, get cleaned up, eat, succumb to tears, and then sleep, only to repeat it all again.. I'd accepted my fate of being in his house till Levi comes for me.. Yeah. I still felt so sure that he didn't willingly give me to Ethan. Even if he did that to probably get himself out of a particular situation, he definitely had drafted plans of getting me out. I was still so sure his obsession for me still exists. It was time for dinner and as expected, the maids brought my meal at exactly 7pm, dropping it on the large glass stool. Another maid came in with a bottle of water and cup, while the third came with cleaning equipment. Ethan had been proving to be so caring for his child and all he does every time was making sure I had lots of goodies and snacks around me to munch on. Chocolates? Crispy chicken? Pizza

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Loser or winner

    LEVI BANKS I'd received a message regarding Jessica's health a few hours after my meeting with Ethan at his house. Actually, i was in a clinic, treating my bursted lip and hating myself for not being able to retrieve Sophia when the message came in and without hesitation, I'd grabbed a facemask and rushed out. Of course, Jessica was so important to grandpa's business and me so her health really mattered to me. And as for the meeting with Ethan... It wasn't close to being a gentle one. And unfortunately, that bastard didn't allow me to take at least, a single glance at Sophia. FLASHBACK. SIX HOURS AGO. Merriam Webster's word ‘wild', would definitely be an understatement in becoming how I became upon arriving at Ethan's house. It was as if the atmosphere of his residence added to my anger and resentment towards him. The gatekeeper opened the door on realising my identit

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Transfusions aftermath

    JESSICA FINN What could be more confusing and shocking than waking up to find yourself laid in your car's backseat even after being sedated a couple of hours ago?.. The shock refused to wear off me while a terrible headache made me feel so sick. The weakness I felt was unbearable and worst, the last memory I had was when I was sedated. “What the hell happened?” I muttered, looking around in complete confusion.. I checked myself out but I was intact, no one had sexually gotten intimate with me while I was unconscious.. Why then was I sedated?.. Or was I mistaken for someone else and returned back to the car when the mistake was realised?.. Somehow, I unintentionally touched a part in my other arm and I winced when I felt pain in that area.. ”Like what the hell really happened!” I lamented at no one in particular. My eyes began rolling on their own as more weakness overwhelmed me. I

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Desperately fierce

    LEVI BANKS “The motion had been granted..” Those words sent a wave of relief down my spine. Just now, I'd been on the cliff of suspense, feeling like life was going to end if an unfavourable judgement was given. Apparently, the trial was much different from the regular ones especially in the aspect that there wasn't another lawyer to oppose or challenge every of my lawyer's statements and this wasn't just because of my status, but also the status of the case.. It was nothing but a ‘Prove your innocence’ trial and maybe.. just maybe, if I was found guilty, a normal trial would be done. I got up immediately as the jury pronounced the main words I was expecting. “Upon the confirmation of your innocence, I hereby grant the freedom of his excellency, CEO Levi Banks” I smiled even more broader while Jenkins came closer, pulling me to a hug without even demanding permission... “Thank you so much" I sai

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Suspenseful court mood

    LEVI BANKS Everyone in the courtroom was either a member of Xing's family, police officer, lawyer or one of the judges.. It had always been a secret case due to my status, on the condition that if I'm declared guilty, then the whole of California will know about it. I clasped my sweaty palms, waiting in the defendant unit. I was expecting Jenkins, my lawyer who was still in the inner room with Alfred and a few other officials, trying to retrieve the video.. “How are you so sure that he'll retrieve it?” Jenkins had asked about two hours ago, before our phone conversation ended. “He's confirmed to be professional. He will” I'd assured myself and also him. My mind couldn't stop drifting back to he said regarding the possibility of renewing my contract with Sophia. “Meaning I have to make sure I get her from Ethan's house so we'll both spend quality time before the seventeen days elapses..” I sighed.
