All Chapters of She's Trouble: His Bride with a Dollar Sign: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"No, fucking hell!" Ivan laughed, finding his story hilarious.He guessed he should have expected such a reaction from his friend. If his father thought he was immature and childish, his friend was worse than him."Let me get this straight, Isaac." His friend paused as he tried to stifle his laughter. "She threatened to hit you with a bat because she thought you were a burglar."Yeah! It sounded funny.He would have laughed, too, if it had not happened to him. His wife had mistaken him for an intruder in his own home. But whose fault was that?"Laugh all you want, but nothing about my situation is for your entertainment." Sometimes, he wondered why he even bothered to tell his friend about his life.He ignored his friend, returned to the papers in front of him, and started signing them, closing each folder one at a time. Then, he called his assistant to take the folders away."Sir, your next meeting is in five minutes," Donald told him. Then, his assistant was out the door as quickly a

"I want to know everything you can find about this, Mathew Clayton." He instructed, asking his assistant to get their best investigator on the case. Isaac would admit it was the first time he had heard of the name. Although he had heard of the Clayton family, he never had the chance to meet them or do business with them. On the contrary, it seemed the Clayton family had the nerve to mess with his business. According to his ex, Lauren, they were plotting to infiltrate his company and take them down. "Word on the street, he wanted to expand his business in the country, but he is building his headquarters here," Ivan interjected, sharing what he heard from the grapevine. Based on the initial information they gathered, the Clayton family, especially their son, Mathew, focused their business on the European countries. Now that their business had reached its peak in the European market, they were extending their business globally. "So, he intends to m

46 - Eating out of the palm of her hands - Isaac"What the fuck!"They were barely married, and she was already entertaining another man. He suddenly wondered if she was not just a gold digger but a fucking cheater, too.Damn! But that was not the worst part, as he thought of the guy who drove his wife home. What was she doing with the man who wanted to ruin his company?"What was my father thinking, picking her as my wife?" He mumbled as different scenarios played in his mind.Suddenly, the idea that she was playing him and his father resurfaced, making him doubt her motives even more for marrying into his family. Was it just about the money? Or was she after something else?Like, was she working for that man?Was she a spy sent by his competitor to steal information from his company?"Who the hell are you really, Charlie?" He asked as he opened the door to his apartment.At that moment, he had no idea what to think anymore as he pictured his wife. He honestly wanted to believe that

What the fuck! Isaac!Damn it!"Get your head back in the game." He silently reprimanded himself as he forced himself to look away from the woman sitting across from him at the table. Nonetheless, his action did not stop his mind from replaying the earlier events. He knew he should not have teased her. However, he could not help it. He wished to see her reaction. He guessed he wanted to determine if she felt the same way as he did.It was undeniable that he wanted her. But whether it was just a physical thing remained debatable. Nonetheless, it was still questionable if she wanted him."What do you think?" It had been a month since he first met his wife.He immediately sensed the chemistry between him and his contracted wife. It was probably the reason he never had a second thought of breaking his rules for her.But since their fake engagement, he had felt the difference in her demeanor. Could he blame her? Nope, since he also did the same thing."You fool!" Yeah! He was an idiot, in

"Here is the file you asked for." Donald handed him the first folder. "Then, here is the information we gathered on Mr. Mathew Clayton." His assistant pushed another folder onto his table. Isaac set aside the first file and opened the folder that contained his business rival's profile. He would be honest. He was extremely curious. However, his interest might not stem solely from their business feud but more likely from this man's relationship with his wife. "He is the only son of Mr. Robert Clayton." Donald summarized the report. "Based on our digging, our investigator discovered that Mr. Clayton's son went missing when he was around five." According to the report, Mr. Clayton's wife, Mrs. Stacy, accidentally lost their child at the park. Mathew was playing with the other kids when suddenly he was gone. Initially, the authorities assumed it was kidnapping. But after a few days of no ransom demand, they concluded that it might be something else. "Then, after years of searching, th
