บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Gangster Wife: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

~MARA~By the time Ethan comes back, I had my body spotless clean without any trace of cosmetic or makeup. I can never get caught, I knew if that. As I've learnt through the online course about being a good wife, I crossed my legs in the living room without any expression, watching TV and eating popcorn in the process. I was so mad earlier when I had to reject the 10k dollars he offered for the sake of hiding my identity from him. The door opened and he came in majestically. I quickly rushed to him "Welcome back Hubby how is work?" I asked as I bowed my head slightly. Ethan seem to be getting used to how I bow my head always, he only shrugged and walked to the sofa and take off his coat, "Huh, how is you day too?"I must say my husband is really very handsome, he's a snub, cold and aloof but yet, he never miss any chance to ask me how mu day was. After Mrs Linda, my stepmother arranged my marriage to this man, I'd decided that I'll never let any affect brew between us and thankful

~MARA~"Madam! Your Stepmother and your sister are here!""Madam!! Your Stepmother and your sister are here!!""Madam!!! Your Stepmother and your sister are here!!!"I heard the butler's voice call through my peaceful sleep and I yawned. Yesterday was so stressful that I don't remember everything that happened. Ethan is nowhere to be found which means he'd left for work already.Trying to wipe my face, I caught the sticky note stuck to my cheek, saying "HELLO SLEEPING BEAUTY, I HAVE IMPORTANT CLIENTS TODAY I WILL COME BACK LATE. DON'T WAIT UP FOR ME HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST ANS DINNER WITHOUT ME"Ohh that's it?. Hearing that my stepmom is here is no good news, but I have to go and face her regardless.Getting to the verandah before the bedroom, i.saw er downstairs waiting for me with her daughter, my stepsister — Maya. I chuckled darkly, and descended the stairs with Ethan's name on my lips. "Hubby, hubby, where are you?" I cooed, trying to show off. "Young master left early today" the B

She meekly followed his lead by pushing his wheelchair chair to the dining room. The several pairs of eyes that were focused on the couple in the dining room made it obvious that they actually peered into their private affairs. The air around her was so awkward that she rushed her food so that she could get done with it as fast as possible. As soon as she ate the last grain of rice on the plate, she washed it down gently with a glass of orange juice. She made to leave the room, but the old lady stopped her. "Mara, dear, you can't leave the table when your husband hasn't finished eating," she said. Mara nodded silently and sat back down, looking at Ethan as he handled the spoon and fork gingerly, as if they were some kind of foam. He ate the food gently and slowly, making her more angry and nervous. It seems like Mrs. Lewis noticed this. She therefore interjected, "Mara, my dear, Don't mind Ethan eating slowly; that's how he is... And he must be extra tired after the deed this mor

Maya's mind conjured up an image of her sister's head drooping low, followed by a scene of Mara and Ethan in a moment of intimacy, while she herself remained hidden in a corner, tears streaming down her face. Her mind's meandering led her straight into a fit of rage.After the butler departed, Maya impulsively grabbed a scalding hot slab of meat from the dining table and hurled it at her sister. Fortunately, Mara's lightning reflexes spared her from a fiery facial tattoo; otherwise, she'd have sported red marks for days, her skin scorched and distorted. Still, a portion of the meat grazed her arm—ouch, that stung!Enraged, Mara retaliated by wielding a plate of piping hot rice, advancing menacingly towards Maya. Sensing imminent danger, Maya cried out, "Don't you dare lay a finger on me, Mara, or Nanny's life hangs in the balance!" But Mara's inner street fighter was unleashed, and she let the rice fly, only for Maya to topple backward, the searing grains landing squarely on her expose

Ethan had fought fiercely to kick Maya out because she was Mara's sister, his disdain for outsiders evident in his actions. When Mara entered the room, he couldn't contain his frustration any longer."What is wrong with that sister of yours? Why is she trying to expose herself whenever I am?" he demanded, his voice edged with irritation.Mara feigned ignorance, hanging her head low in an attempt to shield her true intentions. She knew she had to play her cards right to avoid revealing her true feelings."What do you mean?" she replied softly, her eyes avoiding his piercing gaze, knowing that meeting his eyes could betray her.Ethan, however, wasn't easily deceived. He lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, his frustration evident in his eyes."Are you that stupid?" he questioned, his tone harsh and unforgiving.Caught off guard, Mara struggled to maintain her facade. "Even if I'm not stupid, I can't help it," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper."Didn't you just say
