All Chapters of Deceiving The Billionaire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Five Years Ago..."No!" Jillian exclaimed, slamming her hand down on the table.She could feel her blood rush straight to her head. How dare this woman, sitting across from her, ask for such a huge favor? As if time hadn’t passed... as if she hadn’t been cruelly forgotten for years?"Think about it carefully," Victoria said, her tone annoyingly calm. "Do it for your sister.""My sister?" Jillian echoed, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. "If I remember correctly, I don’t have a sister. I don’t even have a family, right?""Jillian, are you still not over it yet? We had to give you up for adoption because we couldn’t afford to raise you and your twin. When will you finally accept that?""You’re right. Of course, it had to be me, right?" she snapped, eyes blazing. "Because Julia was sick. Because Julia was the weaker one!"Her voice trembled with rage. "Did you suffer long? No. Did you come back for me? No. Did you even try to help me when I had nowhere to go? Never."She was angry—deeply,

So that's why the guy looked familiar.She had seen him in the portraits in Julia’s room! She was now taking back everything she had thought about Sake last night. He wasn’t ordinary. He was stunning—the kind of handsome Jillian didn't come across every day."I’m so relieved what Mom told me wasn’t true," Sake said.They were already in his car, yet he still wouldn’t let go of her hands.Earlier, she had been completely caught off guard—eyes wide, frozen in place. It was the first time she’d ever seen someone who looked like he’d been pulled straight from the pages of a novel... and the first time she had ever been kissed—on the lips!"I took the very next flight just to reach you as soon as possible. I was scared out of my mind, Julia. I thought I’d lost you."She still couldn’t think of what to say. Her mind was spinning from the shock of that kiss. But obviously, he hadn’t realized she wasn’t Julia.Of course—he didn’t know his fiancée had a twin. An identical one at that!"I-I'm ok

"JILLIAN!" Victoria shouted angrily just seconds after Sake left. He had just dropped them off after dinner at his family’s house. "Don’t you dare turn your back on me! We need to talk!"Annoyed, Jillian stopped climbing the stairs and followed her aunt into the study. She was barely holding onto her composure."Now, explain to me why you refused the wedding?!" Victoria was still furious."Are you kidding me?" she snapped. "That was never part of our deal! You said we’d wait for Julia to wake up!"The reason Lora had invited them over for dinner was to ask Sake and Julia to move up their wedding. Sake had been surprised too—though the wedding was already set for two and a half months from now and the preparations were underway.But Jillian was even more shocked. She hadn't prepared herself for the idea of marrying him. She was hoping Julia would wake up before the wedding day."You don’t have the right to refuse!""What?" Jillian stared at her in disbelief. "Do you even hear yourself,

"Mama couldn't come. She said she already had a prior commitment for tonight," Sake explained as he arrived—alone, without Lora.Jillian offered a small, reserved smile and quietly accepted the bouquet he brought. She wanted to tell him it was fine. After all, he was the only one she truly wanted to see tonight.In truth, she hadn’t wanted to let go when he embraced her earlier. She could’ve stayed in his arms forever. But she couldn’t shake off the voice of the woman she had heard calling out to him while they were on the phone."So, what did you prepare for dinner?" he asked."I didn’t cook." She almost winced at her own bluntness. She had intended to prepare something for him earlier, but the mood had left her, so she left the task to the household staff."Thank goodness!" he teased. "Now I can actually get excited about the food."She rolled her eyes at him and turned away, annoyed."Hey, hey, I’m just joking," he said, catching up to her and placing a gentle arm around her should

"Are you really sure you don’t want to come with me?"They were already at the airport, but Sake still refused to let go of her. He had a three-day business conference abroad—his first trip away since their wedding."Honey, if you don’t let go now, you’ll miss your flight," Jillian said with a laugh.Four weeks into their marriage, and everything between them was nearly perfect. Nearly—because no matter how happy, how intimate, or how sweet things were between them, it didn’t change the fact that behind their almost-perfect relationship was a lie that pierced Jillian’s heart every single day.Sake was a wonderful husband. If only she really were Julia, Jillian wouldn’t have anything more to ask for. And maybe to make up for her deceit, she tried her best to fulfill the role of his wife as perfectly as she could.Sake would often say how lucky he was to have her. And every time he did, her guilt grew even heavier. If only he knew he had been living a lie ever since he came back from ab
