All Chapters of Forced Married with the Ugly Billionaire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 031NicoleSavanna burst into the room, slapping her hand on my desk. "Hey, it’s lunchtime already!" she declared. "Take a break, Nicole. It’s only your first day, but you’ve been grinding so hard. At this rate, your face is going to get stuck like that," she chuckled, pointing at my frown.I sighed, rubbing my temples. She leaned in closer, studying my face, which made me a bit uncomfortable."Trouble on your first day?" she joked, playfully messing up my hair. "Don’t stress about him. He’s into you, trust me."I rolled my eyes at her teasing, and she laughed, pulling me up from my chair."You’re just hungry. Let’s grab some food," she said, dragging me toward the elevator and heading our way down to the ground level.Once we settled at a table in the bustling cafeteria, I leaned in and whispered, "Do you think it’s okay to ask for an advance on my salary?""What?" she asked, staring at me in disbelief. "I don't know if that's okay. You can ask Cara about it," Savanna said wh

Chapter 033Nicole"Hey, it's okay. No need to feel embarrassed. I totally get it because I’ve been in your shoes before. It's just that---" Andrew’s voice trailed off as his phone started ringing. He frowned and pulled it out of his pocket. “Sorry, I need to take this,” he said quietly as he stood up.“Okay,” I nodded as I watched him stride away, my anxiety creeping in.What if he says no to my request? That would mean I couldn’t cover Andrea's bills, and then the hospital might stop her treatment.What if Andrew thinks I only agreed to dinner for some kind of gain? I really hope not. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I doubt he’d think of me that way.I glanced down at my untouched food, my thoughts drifting to Nathan, who was always there to help me. What if…I shook my head, pushing that thought aside. I really don’t think he has any money.I stabbed a piece of broccoli on my plate with my fork, then looked up just as Andrew was making his way back to our table, concern etched

Chapter 035NicoleI went to work the next morning, and my stomach was in knots all afternoon. Sir Andrew assigned me the task of designing a website, and while I’ve dabbled in web design before, it felt like a huge undertaking for someone at my level. I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was testing my skills to see how much I could handle.I thrive on challenges at work, and honestly, everything about this job felt just right. The thought of possibly losing it made my heart ache. I was not only enjoying my time here, but I also needed the paycheck, which pushed me to give it my all.When the clock hit four, I stepped into the spotless bathroom and took a good, long look at myself in the mirror.My hair was up in a high ponytail, my cheeks were slightly flushed from nerves, and the cut on my lip was healing nicely with no pain left. But my eyes were puffy and looked worn out. I sighed as I glanced down at my dark skirt that fit me well and my old dark blue top that had wrinkled from

Chapter 037NathanWhen I asked about her, Nicole’s eyes flickered with a hint of vulnerability for just a second before she quickly masked it. I had been away for nearly a week for a business meeting overseas.If she caught the sarcasm in my tone, she didn’t let it show. Instead, she brushed past me and headed straight to the kitchen, which really got under my skin.She was really starting to get on my nerves, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but miss her sweet scent and the feel of her lips against mine. What drove me even crazier was how little control I had over my body when it came to her.Seriously! I’d been with way more attractive women who were definitely better behaved, but none of them had the power to mess with my self-control or ignite my desire like Nicole did. I was supposed to hate her, especially after seeing her hug her boss in his office last week and not even flinch when the casino owner kissed her neck.Ugh! I was meant to make her feel completely humiliated,

Chapter 039Nathan"I want you to send me the documents right now, Felix!" I huffed a breath as I hung up the phone, not waiting for him to respond.My frustration grew as I looked at the clock and saw it was already ten in the evening, and Nicole still wasn't home. I plopped down at my desk and checked my email, finding that Felix had already sent over the documents. I tried to focus on them for a few minutes, but my thoughts kept drifting to my wife.I let out a deep sigh, leaning back in my chair and shutting my eyes for a moment, hoping to find some calm. Earlier, Felix mentioned that Kramer's team was having a little celebration of their project's success, and I knew Nicole played a big role in it.I felt a mix of pride for her and annoyance at the same time that she hadn’t even bothered to text me about where she was.Then it hit me—I still didn’t have her phone number! Great!I opened my eyes and straightened my shoulders when I heard a car pulling up in front of the house. My
