บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Prisoner Wife: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Many Years EarlierNora's POV I watched with envy boldly written over me as the couples moved around the orphanage, checking out the kids and holding them by the hand as they walked out.Why couldn't that be me? I sighed as I watched another kid get adopted. That would be the twentieth kid that was preferred instead of me.Yes, I had been counting. I sulked, moving off to a corner as I was unable to bear the pain anymore. I stared at the toys I had been playing with before the orphanage was open to visitors, no longer interested in them."We will have her." I heard a man say and let out a heavy sigh, my shoulders crumpling with sorrow.That was another kid that was preferred. What an unlucky child I was. I wanted to leave the orphanage too. I wanted the attention of loving parents. Not that the nuns weren't taking care of us but I wanted to be in a family where I didn't have to compete for attention with fifty other kids. I wanted to be loved by those I could really call mine."Nor

Damon's POV Damon Bennett.That name was a fist against closed doors and there was no one who didn't dare respect the name. Men trembled at the sound of my name. Insecure and even successful men cowered at the sounds of my footsteps and everyone respected my presence, never daring to say anything 'unnecessary' for fear of being burned.I doubted I was the same Damon Bennett I used to be months ago, not since Sasha ran off with those documents.The blasted wife of mine. I reminded myself that I never wanted her. I never even wanted marriage and wouldn't be shackled to her if my mother hadn't thrown a fit, insisting that I got married.That blasted woman. I corrected myself.I wondered if she had sold the documents to my enemies and that was why everything that was happening at the moment started. I hoped she hadn't but I couldn't stop worrying that she had.I thought of what more was going to happen if she had truly sold the documents and my heart skipped many beats, thumping so hard

Nora's POV The party was a success. For me though as Damon had something else to say about it. I didn't get called out as being an imposter and that was success enough for me. If only Damon agreed the party was a success as I did."What a waste of my time." Damon groaned for the fifth time that night during our drive home."It will be better next time." I said, trying to assure him and hoped that he would stop talking. He hadn't stopped lamenting and filling my ears with woes. I was tired but didn't know how to tell him not to stop complaining as I didn't want to set him off. "I don't have a party planned for the next two weeks." He scowled. "When is the next time going to be?" He asked, freezing me with a glare.I went mute, my mind going blank at the intensity of his anger. I shrugged and looked out the window, busying myself with staring at the moving cars and hoped that we got home soon.Realizing that I had given up on him, he snorted and turned to Hart. "What is my schedule l

Nora's POV "Finally, you are here." Cara grinned as she placed another dish on the dining table. "It's so good to have you home."My heart drummed in excitement but I controlled my eyes from widening, reminding myself that Sasha wouldn't be surprised at the quantity of food on the table. This was a feast and not just food made because of two guests. We wouldn't be able to finish this even if we had been starving for days.Damon snorted. "You wouldn't let me rest until I came."She snorted. "You can pretend that my insistence melted your heart."I wanted to tell Cara that her son didn't have a heart but the mood was too good to be ruined. Her mood was infectious and even though I didn't want to be here, I was thrilled at her excitement to have her son home with her."Don't you notice how different the house is since the last time you came, Sasha?" She asked.Oh oh. I groaned. Couldn't I just spend a minute in her presence without her making me feel nervous?"I think it does." I said,

Nora's POV Just as Damon was about to step out, it started raining. The downpour was sudden and heavy that it took Damon by surprise. He went still, his lips tightening into a scowl."I guess you are meant to spend the whole day with us then." Cara laughed behind us.Damon hissed and dropped me on the ground. I sighed at the loss of his body heat but knew I couldn't stay in his arms forever."We will leave once it stops raining." Damon grumbled as he moved back into the living room."I don't think so," James said, peering at the sky. "It looks like it will rain all day."James was right. We sat idly for two hours, waiting for the rain to stop. I chatted with Cara and James while Damon busied himself with his phone, scowling hard like he needed the rain to be physical so he could punch it in the face."It looks like you are going to sleep here tonight." James said after three hours of consistent rainfall.Cara jumped to her feet. "Let me get Damon's old bedroom cleaned up so you can sl
