Lahat ng Kabanata ng HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

THALIAAs if my world had stopped swirling for a second upon listening to Damon's remarks. My brows furrowed as my hands trembled with the fear that my father had done horrible things in the past.But still… I need to defend my father, who gave life to me.“Was it really him? The person who's sitting in that driver's seat, hitting Cassie in the middle of the road and running away as if he had seen a ghost? I wet my dry throat as his jaw clenched. “Dad never drives his car, especially at night,” I said with a shaky breath, trying to control my emotions. Not in front of him.Dad always shut his eyes while silently taking a nap in the back seat for a quick rest whenever he came home late at night. So, it's possible he didn't know. Maybe… Maybe his former driver was the responsible–“Thalia, let the police resolve this matter.” He took a step closer to me as he brushed off something on my cheeks.Tears…Yeah, I'm goddamn crying!“Please, don't cry–”I pushed him with all the strength I'

THALIA"Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Carter.""No worries."After my statement to the police regarding the shootout incident in the amusement park that led to Frederick getting injured, the detectives left our home. As well as Uncle Michael, who was silent the whole time and busy on his phone.Since the incident, I couldn't pay a visit to my friend. I'm not sure if it's only me who can't enter his room or if they also forbid my brother Leander, who is Fred's best friend, to at least get a glimpse of Fred and know his condition. I don't even know if he's conscious now.Damn it.I watch Uncle Michael's car lead the way to the gate, following the detectives' car. His driver or bodyguard was really kinda familiar to me. I don't know where I saw him, though.I headed upstairs to peek at Mom's room if she had calmed down, but I saw her sleeping on the couch. With a sigh, I carefully entered the room and took a blanket to cover her up.She looks more exhausted than me.I was about to

THALIA I stormed inside the house, furious at the fake news scattered outside. This will affect our name and business. But I'm sure Dad and Leander already made a move to stop that bullshit news.I saw Leander coming out from the dining room, holding an almost empty bottle of water.“How did he get out?” I started.“He has been removed from one of the persons of interest–”“Because of the CCTV? Because of his former driver?”His brows furrowed in confusion. “How did you know?”I scoffed. “I knew it! You know what, I've found–”“Pack your things first.”This time, I frowned at him. “What? Why?”“You are going to Paris?” He said as he walked past me and sat on the couch, devouring the remainder of the water.I followed him as I couldn't understand.“Paris? Is Dad free to leave the country?”“Just you and Mom.”I crossed my arms and scoffed in irritation. They are going to leave us out of their plan again.“No.” I gaze at him coldly. “I'm staying here.”He irritatedly scratched his tem

THALIAMy heart palpitated uncontrollably as I couldn't get a grasp upon hearing his voice that I hadn't heard for days.“Da-Damon?”I cleared my throat as my words were stuck in my throat, afraid to come out for some reason.“Meet me. I'll send you the address.” “Wh– Hello? Damon?”I looked at my screen and was confused as to why he ended it abruptly. He sounded in a hurry and didn't even give a hint of longingness through his tone.Is he angry? Because Dad was released?After a few seconds, I received a message from an unknown number. It was the location and the exact time when we should meet. I checked the number and it was the number that Damon used to call me earlier.Ten later? That's too late. Damon never wanted me to spend a night outside“Sweetie?”I immediately hid my phone behind me. “Yes?”“Let's have dinner.”I threw my phone inside my handbag and followed Mom outside our hotel room. Mom was saying something while we were in the elevator, heading down to the restaurant

ANASTASIACaleb was about to pull me to go back into my car, but I stopped for the second time again. He looked at me with a frown, probably irritated at my stubbornness."I'm coming with you."He inhaled sharply. "No. Go back-""I CAN'T JUST WAIT THERE, CALEB!" He massages his temple as tears run down my face. "I will go with you whether you like it or not."I walked past him and entered his car with my arms crossed.It's my fault why Thalia went missing. I didn't make sure she was sleeping beside me last night. I was too tired from the stress of our situation and dozed off first without thinking Thalia might think of escaping and seeing Damon Kane without my permission.Not long after, Caleb enters the car with a frown. He summoned the NYPD and his men to go with us to the last location of Thalia's bodyguard.While we were on the road, I became uneasy in my seat seeing the secluded area we were in. Why would Thalia go here? She hates going to the place where there's a lot of grass a
