Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire’s Submissive Wife : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

"How do you feel?" Amy asked her friend as they came out of the salon. Gone was the blonde hair that cascaded down her back. In its place was brown hair, the shade of ground coffee. Mary had taken the advice of her hairstylist and had chosen that color. "Like a million bucks." Mary beamed at her friend. They had arrived at the salon a little late, so they were the last customers, and the intensity of the sun had reduced. "Yeah, you do. Although this will take a little time to get used to, I am used to seeing a freaking Barbie, and now you are just plain Jane. But nevertheless, you are still beautiful." Amy smiled, the corners of her eyes crinkling. She felt like a proud mom. "I know, right," Mary said, flinging her hair at her friend. "I feel beautiful." This past month with Amy has boosted her self-esteem, plus the attention she has been getting from people just has a way of making you feel good. Gone were those baggy clothes she had on from the convent; they were replaced with c

Everyone had retired to their beds only after cleaning up, of course. If they still wanted to keep their jobs, they were sure to clean up, because that was one thing Jack wasn’t going to stand for.He was fine with them using the restaurant even during working hours, although Lincoln had actually paid him to rent the hall for a few hours.But one thing he wasn't going to stand for was littering. Hence, once they were through, they had both joined hands to arrange the chairs and table in place until the hall looked like its former form. A restaurant.Meanwhile, as they cleaned up, Mary had been taking trips to their room to keep the gifts she had been given. Everyone had brought wonderful gifts that would be useful to her and the baby, and she was truly grateful.She was carrying the last batch of left-overs when Amy ran to meet her. "Let me help." And without warning, she snatched the items from Mary's hands, and together they climbed the stairs.It was fruitless to argue with Amy, so

Mary remained in the living room with Amy’s younger sister and father. Their father had taken the white sofa just as Mary predicted, and he had turned on the television, content with watching football.So Mary was left with the younger sister, who had a knack for asking questions."So how did you meet my sister? She had never talked about you during our talks." Lauren asked, perched on the arm of the sofa."We are colleagues and roommates." Mary curtly answered, praying she wasn’t going to ask any questions again. In order to ensure that, Mary pulled out her phone and started scrolling through her pictures.And it worked because Lauren stopped bothering her; instead, she brought out her own phone and started using it.Mary had never been the social media type, and she didn’t feel the need to create any since her social circle is small. Hence, she was scrolling through her gallery. She continued swiping left until she stopped at a picture Amy had taken of her.Her stomach had been more

"I think my water just broke." Mary said in a calm voice, apparently so calm that Amy had trouble believing it. But everyone heard it, and the restaurant suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Mary."What did you say?""I said my water just broke!" Mary yelled, pointing to the floor where there was water that had formed a puddle.That word was enough to trigger everyone, and the once-calm hall became pure chaos."Oh my gosh! What do we do? What do we do? It is not yet the due date!" Amy all but yelled in her ears. She wasn’t good with surprises, especially ones that involved births; hence, she was disorganized.Everyone gathered at Mary's side as they heard her word, looking at the mess she had made."Hospital, I need to go to the hospital." Mary said, her voice coming out calm. She was surprised she could maintain that level of calmness because inside she was a panicking mess. The baby was coming earlier than she planned, and she was afraid it would lead to complica

Nicholas has been off living life like the bachelor that he was; he is currently heading the new branch, which means he is rarely at home except on weekends. Whenever he wasn’t at home, he was with Cameron or trying to patch up his relationship with his dad.Sebastian had been beyond angry when Nicholas told him he had sent out Mary. In fact, Nicholas could remember that day clearly. He could see the scene clearly as it played out in his head. He had never seen his dad so angry."Are you joking? I am too old to be playing such games," His father had said, his forehead creased in a frown. His lip was turned in a scowl, quite similar to Nicholas’s."No, I am not. Mary is gone.""What happened to her? Did she go missing? I could go to the police department to help track her." Sebastian had said, and he was already bringing out his phone to start making the calls."No need to, dad." Nicholas had interrupted. "I sent her away." Even now, he was ashamed to hear those words. His father had l
