Lahat ng Kabanata ng Marry My Billionaire Second Husband : Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Ronan raised an eyebrow, curious.Emmeline’s words hadn’t been forgotten― she had claimed that she tried to have a talk with Matteo on numerous occasions, only to be rebuffed by him time and time again. From what Amelia knew, there was no such thing― Matteo had made sure to stay so far away from her that there wasn’t even a chance for her to approach him. Emmeline had also been very quiet in the days leading up to the wedding.The only time she could’ve actually tried talking to Matteo — assuming she wasn’t lying about the attempts — would’ve been at the wedding itself.Matteo nodded. "She claimed she had something very important to tell me, so I went with her. After hemming and hawing for five whole minutes, she only asked if I was willing to marry you no matter what.""And?" Ronan prompted."I said yes."Ronan groaned into his hands. "Jesus, what a mess.""Why?" Matteo asked. "I didn’t want to speak with her, frankly, but she was causing a scene and at the time, the reporters were s

"Catherine and Charles Montgomery married shortly after Matteo’s mother passed away," Ronan said to Amelia in the deserted hospital hallway. Not even the nurses would venture here― everyone knew to give them space."However, Matteo went missing shortly after. He was also very young," Ronan continued, "and as a result, wasn’t allowed to inherit the inheritance left by his mother. She never wrote a will, and because of that, everything she owned went to Charles Montgomery.""Went missing..." Amelia trailed off, deep in thought. She recalled this. Cherry had mentioned something similar the other day."Catherine sent Matteo to the orphanage for a period of time," Ronan said. "She wanted Aiden to be the only Montgomery heir. As such, Matteo stayed away from the Montgomery home for a long time before he was eventually returned.""Do you know what happened to him at the orphanage?" Amelia asked."Hardly," Ronan said. "Matteo doesn’t like to talk about it. I only remember that it was called t

The doctors and nurses continued to scurry around, busy with their own tasks, while the two of them stood shell-shocked at the announcement.A curse escaped Amelia’s lips. She couldn’t believe her ears. Beside her, Ronan’s face had darkened tremendously.As if to add insult to injury, the news program helpfully broadcasted the footage of Matteo leaving his office, never mind that he had worn an entirely different outfit and he was supposed to be at the Montgomery mansion. The newscaster continued to speak, claiming that the shareholders were much more relieved that a new CEO with a cleaner reputation was taking the helm, and then the news began to talk about Matteo’s ruined wedding, with fresh footage from the banquet hall."Come on, let’s go," Ronan said, pulling Amelia away from the screens. She was forced to tear her eyes away from her grandfather’s collapsing figure, slowed down for dramatic effect. "We don’t need a replay of that clusterfuck.""I know," Amelia said weakly. "I hav

"Pay the compensation?" Amelia echoed, squinting in disbelief."It’s in your employment contract," Catherine stated coolly, a small sinister smile hanging off her lips. "If you resign from your post without providing a three-month advance notice, you will need to pay the compensation fee. It’s written here."She pulled out the employment contract Amelia had signed, pointing to the line."Mr. Sullivan here agreed to pay the compensation fee," Catherine said. "What will your choice be?""This is ridiculous!" Amelia yelled. "I am not the one who wants to resign from my post.""You don’t understand the picture here," Catherine said. She stood up, her palms pressed against the table while her manicured nails clicked against the surface. "There is no longer any post to speak of. Matteo is no longer the CEO of X’el. Aiden is.""And Aiden needs a secretary."The door suddenly opened, and all four people present in the room turned their heads in synchrony to see Aiden standing at the door. He

"That’s a lot more shocking than the news I was intending to share," Amelia confessed, her eyes blinking in surprise."What was your news?""Oh nothing, only that Aiden would rather marry Ronan than Emmeline and he’s this close to begging him to stand at the altar for his wedding and take over his duties so that he can slack off as CEO," Amelia said breezily, and was rewarded with her fiancé’s horrified face. Matteo’s eyes were practically bugged out in shock."I’m guessing you’re against this relationship?""I’ll approve it over my dead body," Matteo said. "Even if Ronan liked men, I’m sure he wouldn’t have such bad taste. A playboy slacker? Perish the thought.""Funny, I said something similar to him," Amelia said, amused, before turning serious again. "About Emmeline’s request... I’m sensing a ’but’ waiting in the wings."It seemed awfully convenient that Emmeline would suddenly agree just days after Caleb had attempted to approach her. He had called her in the past few days after
