บททั้งหมดของ Marriage With The Billionaire : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

[Lucas]"Where did you say she went to?" I asked Mrs. Helen."She said her grandmother sent for her." After speaking with Mrs. Helen, I walked back upstairs; if her grandmother had sent for her, there could only be one reason. Mia had foolishly informed them about the video. I had a very important project that required my full attention, and if it had not been for Olivia's constant calls in the middle of my meeting, I would not have returned. When I got some space, I called Mrs. Helen, who said Olivia was fine and had been with a friend earlier, so I relaxed.But when her calls kept coming in, I needed to know if anything was wrong. But her phone was no longer connecting, so I went home, unaware that she had gone to Ventura.I considered going over there, but I was not sure if my presence would be needed, so I opted to stay back.I went straight to the washroom and took a warm, relaxing bath, which I had not had in two days due to work.I stepped out of the bathtub in my bathrobe, I

[Olivia]"Joan what did Joan say?"Joan repeated, "I said I met Kaleb Taylor.""K…Kaleb is still alive." I felt my throat dry, I felt a huge lump in my throat that refused to go down."What is that voice you are displaying?" Joan asked, jolting me out of my reverie."Do not tell me you still have feelings for him after seven years, Olivia!!!" Joan screamed my name, more like a warning.Can you ever get over a man who has stolen your heart? Is it really possible to let him go so easily? After seven years, the man who is the source of Mia's hatred for me returns unexpectedly."Olivia!!!"Are you there?" Joan screamed my name for the second time."Joan "I am fine, I think I need to go, we will talk tomorrow," I told her as I was about to hang up. Her last words echoed in my ear."Better get a hold of yourself, it has been seven years, he must have gotten a life after everything, so get a good night's sleep."I hung up the phone and tossed it to the other side of the bed; Kaleb was back, t

[Olivia]Drop that and and come over here” he commandedI trailed behind him quietly, he stopped at the microwave and opened it, he took out a small plate and handed them over to me.“What?” I asked him.“Shouldn't you open it up yourself and save me the explanation” he strolled to the sink and turned it on to rinse his hands.I opened it; I knew what it was based on the aroma, but I wanted to be certain. And I was right about it, macaroni and cheese; my heart skipped. I felt the hair on the back of my ear stand; did he prepare it for me?"What is funny, are you not going to heat it up and eat something?" His cold expression made it difficult for me to believe he thought of me."Did you make my dinner?" I asked, smiling at him. Why was he suddenly acting so sweet? His next response completely crushed me."Do I look like your housemaid? Miss. Helen prepared it before I dropped her off tonight, meanwhile, she said you have not been eating well, listen, this is advice from a friend or yo

[Lucas]"Meet me downstairs when you are done getting ready; we still have unfinished business," I yelled at her, and she turned to leave, jamming my door hard.I scoffed and turned to my laptop to continue working, my mind wandered back to last night. I felt so safe and warm in her arms, “Lucas!!” I shook my head in amusement as my inner mind was set to judge me againOn no account should I care about her or even consider moving in with her to persuade her family that our fake marriage was real. I wanted to say no, but there is something about her tears that I do not like seeing; I just sometimes feel like she was like a younger sister to me, because that is probably the only reason I am moved by her tears and do not want to make her feel bad.I closed my laptop and went over to the washroom. I was done in about ten minutes, I walked out of the washroom feeling fresh, I'm scheduled for an important meeting today and I needed to be there on time. I dried myself off, and dressed up in

[Lucas]I walked slowly down the stairs, but I guess the universe was not on my side today; she noticed my presence and turned, something like fear flashing through her eyes, and she immediately disconnected the call, hiding the phone behind her back.I furrowed my brow at her and tended to ignore it. "Why did you end the call when you saw me?" I asked her."No..no, b..baby, why would I do that?" she stuttered. "We were done talking, and I was about to end it, but the sudden shadow behind me startled me," she said.With both hands firmly in my pockets, I arched an eyebrow and she smiled charmingly. "Baby, why did you follow me? Hold on, you are suspecting me," she asked.To avoid making her angry, I had to deny it: "I wasn't, I just wanted to get some water." With that, I walked past her and smiled back at her, even though the smiles did not quite reach my eyes.I walked down to the kitchen and went to the refrigerator, where I grabbed a bottle of chilled water and gulped it down. I l
