Chapter 11~ Looking at her differently
The next day, someone was sent to deliver the electronic devices to the RG department store. When Richard heard the news, he was over the moon. He quickly rushed to the store so that the successful partnership could be credited to his lover, Crystal Anderson. The reason he wanted this partnership was to earn points for Crystal to become the new managing director of the shopping mall. He planned to kick Roxanne out. How dare she come from nowhere and claim a position she didn't work for? However, when he heard no news from David, he began to worry that it didn't work out. When he tried to call him, anxiety crept into him when he couldn't reach David Miller. All his phones were turned off and Roxanne didn't tell him anything either. Did the deal go through or not? David wasn't one to let a woman go without having a taste. Why didn't he call him back to give him feedback? To his surprise, Richard found Roxanne at the forefront talking to the supplier of the goods. His eyebrows furr

Chapter 12~ Rumours
At the same time, Richard read the message he received and quickly called Miriam. "Hello, Richie. Have you dealt with that bitch?" Miriam answered immediately. Her voice was laced with excitement. She had planted a few people around Kenneth Smith and she was using these people to make Roxanne's life hard in the company. "I'm trying my best but she's really tough. Didn't you say she knows nothing? She's very smart and knows her way around the business," Richard responded. "What?! You mean you didn't destroy her?" Miriam's sharp voice came through the phone. "No. I didn't. The board had agreed to give her a chance. If she manages to increase the sales, they will accept her as the managing director for RG shopping mall-" "Nonsense! I won't let that happen. That position can belong to anyone else but Roxanne. Richard, did I trust you too much? Are you able to deal with that bitch or not?" Miriam screamed. She thought she would receive good news about how Roxanne was kicked out

Chapter 13~ My wife
Barely a day had passed when Diego rushed towards Henry's office to deliver the shocking news that was circulating online. “Sir, there’s something you need to see-“ “Not now, Diego. I'm working on something very important,” Henry said dismissively without raising his head. He was a workaholic and once engrossed in work, it was difficult for him to do other things until he was done. “Sir, you told me to tell you if any news about Miss Smith came up,” Diego responded and Henry's hand that was signing documents froze. A flicker of inexplicable emotions flickered through his eyes. He glanced up at Diego and asked, “What news? Did something happen?” His voice sounded anxious. “Yes. Someone has released images of her entering Black and vicious rumours of how she sold her body to gain a partnership have spread all over the internet,” Diego gingerly answered. Henry slammed the side of his fist on the table. His jaws clenched as he said through gritted teeth, “How did she sell her

Chapter 14~ My bride
At the same time, Roxanne ignored all the whispers and continued with her job. That day, she was in a pastel pink suit, a jacket and a mini pencil skirt with a white top beneath the jacket. Her blonde hair was styled into deep curly waves and nude open strapped heels adorned her beautiful feet. Her outfit made her look all the more confident and professional. With her improved mood, she felt like she could fly to the moon. Henry's words kept replaying in her mind. "Roxanne Smith is my fiancée. That's not a rumour, it's a fact." "Anyone who goes against Roxanne Smith goes against me." Roxanne didn't know why but these words made her feel butterflies in her stomach and she couldn't help the smile that crossed her lips. "Have you thanked Mr. Ford for what he said at the interview, Ma'am? His words took the heat off. I think he did it to help you out," Sarah commented as she followed her boss around. Roxanne bit her lower lip. Of course, she understood what Henry was doing but

Chapter 15~ Price doesn't matter
A menacing deep voice of a man echoed around them and they all whipped around to face the entrance. Roxanne gasped when the man's wheelchair was pushed into the store by his assistant. She asked, "Henry? How did you know we are here?" Henry glanced at Roxanne and said, "How could I miss such an important occasion? I want to have the pleasure of helping you choose your dream wedding gown." The truth was, Diego was running an errand for Henry in the Ford's Paradise shopping plaza while Henry remained in the parking lot. He happened to see Roxanne enter the Sleek fashion store with Maya and Victor and his ears instantly perked up. 'What is the boss' lady doing in that store?' He silently asked. When he realised they were looking at wedding dresses, he rushed out of the mall to report to his boss who was waiting in the parking lot. "Boss! I've just seen Miss Smith. She's checking out wedding dresses with her sister and her Ex-fiancé!" Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously as a fl

Chapter 16~ Dream wedding gown
"Great! No problem! I have some sample dresses which she can try on and then, I'll make a new one for her," Hailey responded in a cheerful voice. As she began to call her staff to remove the sample dresses, Henry remarked, "Wait. Since we are purchasing a customised wedding gown, how about we get some privacy? I don't want anyone to see my bride in her wedding dress." Hailey was happy to oblige. She glanced at Victor and Maya before asking them to leave and asked her staff to put a closed sign outside the door. Hearing those words, Maya panicked. She wanted to see the limited edition gowns. At least if she couldn't wear one, she wanted to have a look at them. Looking at Henry, she asked, "Can we stay? I want to see the limited edition gowns." Calmly, Henry glanced at Roxanne and presented, "Do you want her to stay?" Maya glanced at Roxanne with a yearning gaze but the latter did not pay attention to her. Roxanne shook her head and refused outright, "No. I want them to LEAVE.

Chapter 17~ Dinner
"Why does your grandfather suddenly want to meet me?" Roxanne asked as they sat in the backseat of Henry's Maybach. After placing an order for the custom-made wedding gown, Henry asked Roxanne to meet his grandfather and when she agreed, he led her to the parking lot where his car was parked. "He invited us for dinner," Henry replied calmly. He didn't know why, but being close to Roxanne made him feel relaxed. Looking at her, he added, "he made it clear that since I have announced our engagement to the public, I should bring his future granddaughter-in-law home." Hearing that Larry Ford had invited her for dinner, Roxanne felt like the knots in her stomach were being twisted violently. Henry might have accepted the bride switch but Larry Ford might be a different case. He was the chairman of the Ford Corporation and Henry’s grandfather. Rumours had it that he was more ruthless and cold-hearted than his grandson. The brides suddenly changing could have angered him. Roxanne was

Chapter 18~ I'll work hard
Roxanne froze at those words and her face paled. "K-kids?" She swallowed empty air and grabbed a glass before emptying its contents but she ended up choking and coughed violently. Soon, she felt a hand on her back as Henry rubbed circles on it. She could feel the heat radiating from Henry's palm as it seeped into her body. A tingle shot down her spine, making her tremble a little. She was too aware of his hand on her back. "Easy there," she heard his husky voice and her heart skipped a beat. He had leaned over while rubbing her back so she could feel his hot breath fanning her neck. Heat crept into Roxanne for some reason. She cleared her throat to compose herself so that she could respond to Larry. Larry wanted grandkids but Roxanne knew they would not be able to fulfil his wish. They were not going to have any kids since their marriage would only be a one-year marriage contract. Thinking of the contract, guilt crept into Roxanne when she saw Larry's excited and expectant e

Chapter 19~ Too much skin
Maya had raised her voice in irritation. Roxanne had been getting on her nerves lately and seeing her approach the car that Victor sent for her made anger sear through her. Kenneth was in the master bedroom upstairs so she didn't have to pretend to be nice. "Victor sent this car for me. Why are you approaching it before me? You're so shameless!" Miriam glowered at Roxanne and hissed, "Step back, you little bitch! I can't believe you are so shameless. How dare you try to steal your sister's spotlight?" Hearing those words, Roxanne was dumbfounded. She had been sleeping the day off as she waited for the time to go to the masquerade ball when she received a call from Henry. He told her he had sent a car to pick her up and he wouldn't take no for an answer. She found it funny that Maya assumed the car was sent for her. Scoffing, she stepped aside without saying anything. Since Maya was adamant about making a fool of herself, Roxanne decided to give her a hand. "Don't covet thing

Chapter 20~ Masquerade ball
Roxanne sighed when the car came to a stop at the venue for the ball. To be honest, she would rather stay home and read books. This type of event wasn't her thing. However, she wanted to attend the ball and see if she could make a few connections that could help her with her mother’s shopping complex. The mall needed more investors if she wanted to expand it and what better place to find them than an upper-class masquerade ball? A gust of wind hit her the moment she stepped out of the limousine. The night breeze brushed against her pearly-white skin and she looked up at the sky, praying silently. ‘Please, let me find a few investors tonight.’ When she reached the entrance, the bodyguards gave her a suspicious look but when she presented her VIP card, they quickly stepped aside and apologised. The hall was decorated in a way that gave off a mysterious vibe. Everyone at the ball wore eye masks so she couldn’t tell who was who. There was another private party on the second floor
