All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Devious Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I changed into a pair of shorts and a sleeveless top when we returned home. What Declan had done tonight caused emotions to catch up in my throat. I couldn’t understand why he was doing all of that for me, but I was grateful for everything he had done.I heard a knock on my door, and I knew it was Declan. There was nobody but us in the house.“Come in,” I called out, tying my hair in a high ponytail.“Hi,” he said, making his way toward me.I didn’t know when it happened, but the more time passed, the more I realized I wanted to spend more time with him.“Hey.” I smiled, sitting down on the edge of my bed. What brought him to my room?“There’s something I want to show you,” he said, standing in front of me.“What is it?” I tilted my head. He had also changed into black sweatpants and a slim-fit light grey tank top. I couldn’t stop staring at his muscles. His body was perfect. How was I not supposed to stare when he looked like that?“Close your eyes,” he said. I did, curiosity suddenly

I had been in the studio for quite a while, working on a new painting, but this one wasn’t for sale, and I wasn’t going to post it on my normal accounts.Ever since I was a senior, I started that anonymous account on social media and posted paintings I worked on without mentioning that I was the one who made them. After the first year, the account took off, and I sold numerous paintings for five figures.I didn’t tell anybody anything about that account because I knew that if my family found out about it, they’d make it their mission to sabotage my work.This account had given me the opportunity to save up a lot of money—the money I had planned to use when I decided to leave everything behind, but then John surprised me with the whole marriage thing. I had to agree because I knew if I didn’t, John would make it his mission to make me unemployed for the rest of my life.No one would risk their business for a newbie artist, so I agreed to marry Declan for a specific time, and during tha

“Don’t laugh at me, but when is Declan’s birthday?” I asked Lana. I felt embarrassed to ask her about his birthday, but it wasn’t like our marriage circumstances were the best. We didn’t get to know each other the normal way, and so many steps had been skipped, but I knew we could fix it all and get our own beautiful love story.“October 21st,” she told me, causing me to sigh in relief. “It’s still three months away. You have time to think about the perfect gift and all of that.”“He literally has everything. I don’t know what to get him,” I groaned, throwing my head back. What could I possibly get a billionaire? The man could get anything he wanted.“He will love whatever you give him,” she assured me. “If it makes you feel any better, you really make him happy. I don’t think I have seen my brother this happy before.”Her words took me by surprise because I wasn’t doing anything special, but it warmed my heart to know that he was happy with me. I wasn’t just happy with him; I was ove

It was my first time going to his office, but I wanted to surprise him. I got him his favorite lunch, and I also wanted to see the décor of his office to paint him something that would suit it.“I would like to see Mr. Davenport, please,” I told the receptionist on the first floor.“Is there an appointment?” she asked without looking at me.“No,” I replied.“Then you can’t meet him.” Again, she didn’t look at me.“I’m his wife,” I said, which caused her to immediately look at me. Her eyes widened upon seeing me, and she quickly stood up.“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Davenport. Mr. Davenport gave us clear instructions to let you in whenever you visit. I’m so sorry, I was looking at some files and didn’t notice you were the one talking to me,” she apologized profusely.“It’s okay, I guess I can go now, right?” I smiled at her.“Of course. Here’s your card to go through the entrance gates.” She handed me a black card and told me where Declan’s office was.It took me around three minutes to reach

“Okay, I need you to be completely honest with me,” my wife said as she stood in front of me. I had just come back from work. What did she want to talk about?Did she find out about my plan? Terror filled me because I still needed time. I couldn’t just tell her now.“About what?” I tried to school my tone.“Are you behind the money laundering scandal John is accused of?” She had a wide smile on her face as she asked. Relief washed over me. For a second, I thought I was going to lose her.“Well, he hurt my wife.” I shrugged with a smirk on my face, shoving my hands in my pockets.“He deserves to rot in hell,” she whispers, throwing her arms around me. I smiled as I took my hands out and gently held her body close to mine, letting her sweet scent tickle my nostrils. I was addicted to Kendra.“The rest is yet to come, flame,” I whispered and kissed her forehead.“You know… I don’t know why our families hate one another,” she said as she pulled away, took my hand, and guided me to the kit
