Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Affair: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

Just recently I met this heinous man, and all of a sudden here I am, about to sign a contract to become his wife. Why am I in this kind of situation? I hope this sacrifice will be worthwhile or else I'll die in vain."I never really thought you would agree to marry me," Aiden teased. He smiled and arched his cherry-red lips, as if he were enticing me to do something sinful. But all I feel is frustration and hatred, why did I get here?Undoubtedly, I oppose the idea, and my father did not coerce me. However, I cannot stand to see the man who gave me a second chance at life in anguish. He completely gave us everything, despite the fact that we weren't linked by blood. He gave us a home, a family, food, a reputable school, and his last penny. Despite Aiden Echavez's offer, he never said anything, but I voluntarily gave myself over. If it means preserving the final possession this father figure of mine has ever had.“All the conditions are met, I hope you'll never back down on your words,

I felt warm and secure when I woke up. The blanket is warm, the cushions are silky and fluffy, the bed is comfy, and there's an inviting smell. A soft hug around my waist, a soft touch on my head, and a relaxing manly scent. The feeling was pleasant, with a slow and calm breathing atop my head, and a weak snore.Hmm. Wait what?I jumped out of bed when realization hit me, and just as I thought I was sleeping with a man. It was Aiden; it's not like he was crossing a line here because he is now my husband, but he should have slept in a different room. But who am I to complain? This is part of the arrangement, to live in his world as his devoted wife. I'd heard a lot about arranged marriages, but I never imagined that such an arrangement could have a lovely and affectionate side to it; I assumed it was all about papers and legal terms with no strings connected, but Aiden's agreement has a hole that may pull me in if I'm not cautious. Who would have thought of making an agreement to exhib

It's already six in the evening. I was walking back and forth in the space near our room's bed, I'm thinking about the stupid things I did earlier. I was taken aback when I heard a knock on the door, although hesitant but I forced myself to do the right thing. Aiden's serious face welcomed me when I opened the door.“Dinner is ready,” he said.“Okay. You go first, I'll follow.”Just then I saw a glimpse of his reaction through his piercing blue eyes, there was a moment of hesitation. He massages his neck before letting out a deep breath.“Let's go together. I'll wait for you,” he stated.I'd like to push him away and oblige him to go first but seeing his determined demeanor, I just said 'okay.'Because I know Aiden is waiting for me, I tried to move as fast as I could. I fixed my wavy hair and tied it in a messy bun. And I changed my dress into a comfortable t-shirt and shorts. And then I made my way out of the room.“Di

Although I anticipated the results of my actions, I never thought it would come around to haunt me so quickly. Upon reaching our house, Rowan was already settled on the couch, anticipating our return. His eyes never left mine as he recognized us and got to his feet. His eyes show me a hint of desperation and contempt, and it feels like he's intentionally allowing me to look right into his feelings.When he broached a topic that I had no idea about, I felt as though a cold bucket had suddenly hit me. I felt his insistence on moving with us was unexpected enough, but now that I'm hearing what he said behind these walls, it feels like someone whacked me in the chest with a long, sharp sword.“It's good to see you again, hon.”I didn't expect to overhear anything, but that's what I heard as I was going to come back to the living room after taking some time to answer a call.“Rowan, what's wrong with you?” Lieve stated. Her high-pitched voice resonated
