My Rented Husband is a Secret Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

~Rosemary~ "Wait, you mean to tell me that Amani slapped your employee, and when you confronted her, she pushed you and you ended up with a scald?" Sabrina asked at noon after I told her what happened. I nodded, sipping from my glass of juice. "Please keep your voice down. People might hear you." Sabrina glanced around the restaurant. "Fuck that shit! Please tell me you gave her the beating of her life!” “I didn’t. Max was there and I was hurt.” Sabrina rolled her eyes, clutching her fork even tighter. “That bitch has got to pay! You should report to the police." "No," I said, shaking my head, "I want to deal with this my own way. It has been a long time coming, anyway." Sabrina wiped her lips with a piece of serviette. "If you say so." She looked at her watch. "Can we go now?" I set down my glass and picked up my bag. "Yes, please." Sabrina and I walked out of the restaurant and went to the shopping area of the mall. She had offered to take me shopping earlier. As we passed

~Gerald~Rosemary had my undivided attention once she said those words. I noticed that her expression was serious as she continued, "Here's the thing, I have been thinking. Don't you think it's high time you found a real job? Like a 9-5?"Where is this coming from? I wanted to ask. Instead, I said, "I love photography and the last exhibition I had in the UK was kinda successful. I'm looking to do more."Rosemary hung her head and sighed. "I knew you would say this. You are an MIT grad. For how long would you continue doing photo exhibitions? Last time we spoke, you told me you don't earn much. Your monthly allowance is also not going to be sustainable in the long run. You need to start thinking big."It felt so nice to know that she was concerned about me. My attraction to her was shooting to the roof now. I placed my hand under my chin and stared at her beautiful face. How did I land such a woman? I was still bedazzled by her when she pushed her milkshake into my other hand. "I just

~Rosemary~My mother gasped and slapped her chest. Her eyes were bulging out of the sockets as she stared at Gerald. "What did you just say to me?"Gerald's voice came out calm but annoyed. "I said, you need to leave. You've overstayed your welcome.""How dare you!" Mom pointed at him. "This is my daughter's house. You have no right to tell me to leave, you pauper!"My head suddenly began to ache. I sank to my knees helplessly. I knew my mother wasn't going to go down without a fight. This was going to be one hell of a long day."Say all you want, but you are the trespasser here. I won't have you causing my wife any more distress. Leave before I call the cops."Strangely, my mother became quiet. I was expecting her next shout to shake the entire apartment. But to my greatest surprise, she snorted. "I will be back, you two. I'll be back!"Then, she stormed out.I burst into tears all over again as I watched her leave. Gerald squatted by my side and resumed patting my back. "Don't let w

~Gerald~I so wanted to kiss Rosemary on the lips. Not because I wanted to show off in front of Max, but because I had been dying to do so ever since we got married. I could already imagine how they would taste: like strawberries or vanilla, or even a mixture of both.Damn! I exclaimed inwardly as Rosemary seemed to pout when I lowered my head even more. It took a great deal of restraint for me to settle for her cheek instead. My lips lingered on her warm skin. I inhaled deeply.God, she smells so damn good!I pulled back after a while. Stroking her hair, I asked, "You okay?"Rosemary opened her eyes slowly. They seemed misty as she looked up at me and nodded. "I...I'm okay now."I smiled at her. Then turned to Max. I saw that his mouth was opened wide in shock. With a smirk, I snapped my fingers. "Back to earth, mister!"Max blinked back to reality with a jerk. In a matter of seconds, his shocked expression changed to disgust. "Eugh! PDA doesn't suit the two of you at all. It's so re

~Gerald~I turned in the opposite direction, only to see Rosemary matching over in her high heels. She was wearing a fitted dress today, so her hips swayed from side to side as she walked. Nonetheless, she still looked like a badass. I raised my hand and waved at her. To my surprise, she walked past me without even sparing me a glance. She went straight to where my supervisor and colleagues were.Standing with her arms akimbo, Rosemary glared at them. "You should be ashamed of yourselves!""Is she talking to me?" Mr. Hanks looked around in confusion. When my colleagues avoided his eyes, he turned to Rosemary and snarled, "And who the fuck are you?"Rosemary scoffed. "Didn't you just hear me call Gerald my husband? So much for being a "smart" man!"Mr. Hanks pointed. "You! Watch your mouth!""Watch your own mouth!" Rosemary retorted. "Seeing as my husband got employed so fast, shouldn't that tell you he's no ordinary guy?"She grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer once I got within a
