Alle Kapitel von Billionaires Strange Wife : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

9 HOURS LATERAfter landing in Kuwait, we headed to the Sheraton Hotel, located in the center of Kuwait. This is where I always stay whenever I visit. I needed to arrange my meeting with Kate as soon as possible. I needed to convince her so I could secure my property in LA and also to put an end to my mom’s nagging about me getting married. After all, they only want a grandchild. With Kate, I could do whatever I wanted, even if we were married. I could move around freely and go out. All I needed to do was to continue presenting myself as her husband in front of my mom, since we were legally married anyway.Daniel, William, and I took some time to rest, exploring the delicious food and nightlife in Kuwait. I planned to talk to Kate the next day. I had thought of a way to ensure she couldn’t refuse me. I heard she was the breadwinner of her family.The next day, Daniel and I headed early to the company’s head office. I have my own office there whenever I visit. The staff were surprised

“Is there no other way, Mr. Santiago? If so, what will the terms of our marriage be?” I asked him. I was hoping there might be some way to change his mind or at least have some leverage over him. “Okay, Ms. Andres, here’s the setup. As I told you, I don’t want you, and I just need you to pretend to be my wife in front of my mom for two years. So don’t worry about me taking advantage of you. But since we’re married, we’ll sleep in the same room; we’ll just put a divider in the middle of my bed. It’s spacious, so don’t worry about us getting too close. I will provide for all your needs. Every six months, you need to go home to the Philippines with me for a month so that my mom can see that we’re really together out of love. But I’ll visit you here in Kuwait every month, so my mom won’t get suspicious. I’ll get you your own house, so when I come here, I’ll stay there. I know my mom; once they find out about this, they’ll definitely visit you. You’ll still pretend to be my wife when m

ARRIVAL IN THE PHILIPPINESAs soon as we got off the plane, I grabbed all of Kate’s things. I didn’t want to make her carry anything since I knew her luggage was heavy. William and Daniel exchanged glances because it was unusual for me to do this. I usually expect others to help with my own luggage.“What?! Why are you looking at me like that? Is it bad to carry a suitcase?” I asked them, who were grinning widely.“James, don’t tell us you’re already infatuated with Kate?!” Daniel joked.“Hahaha! This is the first time, Bro, James is carrying a suitcase and pushing a baggage trolley?” They all laughed loudly. “Bro, are you sick today?” they teased me.“You guys are crazy. I’m just being careful. It’s hard; what if she suddenly runs away? That can’t happen; Mom has been waiting for us,” I replied. The two of them continued to tease me while smirking.“Don’t worry, James, you don’t have to do that. I’m not going to run away from you. What’s the point? If I run away, legally, you’re my h

AT JAMES’S CONDO KATE POV I was captivated by the beauty of the community where James lived. He was really wealthy; that was my first thought as I saw the amenities of the condo he said we would be staying in. I didn’t expect it to look like this. I thought it would be a simple condo, like the one I bought near George’s school. This building was enormous, and it even had shops on the ground floor that looked like a mall, not just the typical stores. You could see high-end brands like LV, Gucci, and other luxury shops. I was also amazed by their infinity pool located in the center of the building. I was in awe of what I was seeing. The amenities in his condo were nothing like those in ordinary condos. I even spotted a golf course on the other side of the building where James’s unit was. I thought to myself, with a building like this, the residents must be incredibly wealthy. I planned to swim in the pool later. I hadn’t swum in a long time, and thankfully, I was prepared becaus

KATE’S POV I was staring at James while he casually walked into his unit. I was waiting for him to at least apologize for what he said, but it seemed like he didn’t care about me at all. He just went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer he had chilled in the fridge earlier. I exhaled in frustration. He sat down on his sofa and glanced at me. “WHAT?! What’s with that look, Kate? Did I do anything to you?” he asked. “Remember, Kate, I’m your husband. Don’t think about backing out just because you signed our contract; you have no choice but to follow the two years in our contract, or you’ll lose everything!” he said with a smirk. I raised an eyebrow at him, and tears started to fall as I began to respond to his arrogance. “Who do you think you are?! I didn’t agree to this because of your money; I’m doing this for my family! I don’t want everything I’ve worked for to go to waste just because of a one-night mistake!” I replied. I cou
