บททั้งหมดของ HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

(Caleb's POV)Adam strode his feet in front of my presence, letting out a sigh as he positioned himself on the bed. I stared at him, full of confusion. How come Anastasia is a Laverde? Why did they have a commoner life where in fact the head of their family is rich as hell?I turned my head to take a glimpse at Anastasia, lying on the bed, still not fully awake. Did Antonio hide the fact of his wealthy life just to be with Amanda? Is that what you called 'love'? I smirk at what I thought. It's all because of love, that they committed an unforgivable sin."After father died..." My eyes shifted to Adam when he began speaking after killing the quiet ambiance inside the room. "--I know, I need to face his other family. I mean... I'm not bothered by the threat of losing the wealth as Father left almost everything to them." He lowered his head while fidgeting with his fingers on his lap as a small smile formed on his lips. "I am just afraid to face the people who destroy my so-called 'family

(Anastasia's POV)"Here." Alice handed me a cup of coffee. I had asked her to bring food from the bakery. I barely ate properly last night and I don't like the taste of the hospital food. Alice was here with doughnuts and buns. I wanted to grab one and eat it but Caleb was not eating anything at all. I grabbed another cup of coffee and reached it to him. He was leaning against the sofa, looking out at the view through the hospital window. He must be bothered about Sophia's whereabouts.I ask Alice to help me reach the sofa, my legs still feel vulnerable. I caught up with Caleb's side and looked at him. His face was tired and his hair was messy. He hadn't slept a wink last night. He was holding me close, lying on his chest and I had woken up to see him looking at the morning sky. It shocked me that he didn't sleep. I couldn't sleep after that, knowing that he didn't sleep."Caleb," I called and he turned around to look at me, giving me a surprised and worried look on his face."Why did

(Anastasia's POV)I groaned before I sip on my coffee while stretching out myself. I just woke up and you know, when one of those days, you just feel too lazy to bathe. Yep, I was feeling that way today so I didn't bathe. And it was a Sunday which automatically made me even lazier.Byron visited yesterday but after he handed me the bouquet of roses, he bid farewell as he said he was busy with paper works. I adore him for the way that he gave me time to visit despite the workload he has. Maybe, he was just avoiding Caleb as they treated each other coldly.As I headed downstairs, my eyes flickered up to meet the well-designed and painted counter with a brand-new oven sitting on the counter. It was bigger, shinier, and new.The house was unusually silent and the room to Caleb's door was open. I did peek in carefully this time. I didn't want to encounter another shirtless water-dripping-showered Caleb.Although, he does look so damn sexy.Just no.Apart from me did wish for him to be naked

(Anastasia's POV)Caleb and I haven't spoken ever since. Every morning, he wakes up early to get to work and comes home late just to avoid me. It's his house, not mine, he shouldn't be feeling like a stranger in his own house. All of this is just because of going to a club in broad daylight. I am just helping Ava, does he want me to ignore Ava's situation? Talking to him always adds more problems to my list of problems.And also, NO PUNISHMENT OCCURRED!After that day, I haven't heard from Byron either. Those two are the most strange people I've ever met. They have too much in common, I wonder why they hate each other so much. Sometimes, I feel like they are trying to kill each other with a blazing glare, they are the only brothers but they don't get along well.I was taking a walk in the garden when Rosalinda sprinted in a rush towards me."What is it, Rosalinda?.""Madam, Mr. Carter just called and he said can you e-mail him the number of a folder. It's yellow and it's in the cardboa

(Anastasia's POV)Caleb and I are back to square one. After last night, we haven't spoken. I figured it was for the best. He went through from the past and I don't think anyone deserves that. No wonder he is so bitter. He must be truly loved Sophia before.I had seen his car outside so I assumed he was still asleep.I was in the kitchen making some breakfast when I received a call from Mom. She wanted to talk to me. Not so long after Caleb walked in, he still had this gloomy aura. I felt guilty about stealing that picture but he didn't seem to care about anything.He took some plates from the cupboard, for which I was thankful because I couldn't possibly reach that high without at least standing on a chair and breaking my neck.He positioned himself at the table and so do I. "So, uhmm... When can I go back to work?" I break the silence."No, you're not going back to work. I already fired you." he calmly said."What? Why?" I exclaim in surprise."Just stay at home, Ana. That would be s
