All Chapters of The Billionaire's Fake Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chase was still staring at her intently and after a few seconds, he turned and walked away, releasing her from her torture. Sighing in relief, she got up from the bed and decided she needed some air. Her phone rang just as she was heading towards the door and she had a good guess about who the caller was.What she didn't expect was the call being a video call. As she lifted the phone from the bed, her eyes swept the room quickly, looking for the best possible place to answer the call. Going into the hallway was the first thing that came to mind but she could hear voices outside and she discarded the idea immediately.Answering the call in the room seemed like the best idea to her since she could already hear the shower running again. Her heart raced as she answered the call and held the phone up in front of her.“I’m still waiting on that update, Ella,” Santiago said in his unpleasant voice.Ella could hear someone whining behind him even though he was the only one that appeared in th

The words tumbling from her mouth surprised Chase. This woman, who he picked up from nothing and brought to wealth was threatening him?“Are you out of your fucking mind?”Ella froze when she heard that, then shrugged it off and turned her nose up. “You're just acting out of character for the husband role you're supposed to play. I'm trying to remind you of the fact that I can easily tell the whole world that you-”“Do it then,” he growled.She turned to him, masking her fear at his tone. “What?”“You heard me, woman. I dare you to try it. Go out there. Speak on those stupid podcasts. Drop an anonymous tweet. Or not anonymous, I don't care. Just do all of that shit, exposing me. And know that you will find yourself in the street next.”“How can you-”“You tried to threaten me?” he chuckled darkly, his eyes holding hers and showing her every bit of contempt. “I'll show you what happens when anyone attempts such a foolish thing.”Ella wanted to argue more, to prove that he wasn't all th

“Love Island,” he grinned, and Ella was surprised by how boyish the action made him look. “It’s a cute little store some miles away from here. The owner sells the most beautiful flowers. I think you’d be very interested in that.”She was, very much so, and she promptly stood to accompany him.They arrived at the store about an hour later, and she marveled at the beauty of the place. Truly, it was quaint, and the shopkeeper smiled warmly at them as he welcomed them in.“I would never have guessed that the shopkeeper was male,” Ella whispered to Chase’s grandfather, who chuckled.“That’s Bertrand,” he said. “And there’s a funny story about this place, actually. He and his wife setup this place when he grew one too many roses at the back of their home. He decided to burn the flowers, but Lily was against it, saying there had to be another way to get rid of them.""Luckily it was around Valentine’s Day, and she went hawking the flowers from door to door. They were soon sold out, and it be

“You slapped my hand in public today, Ella.”She swallowed. “You had annoyed me.”He laughed. “I had annoyed you. What a fucking joke. We were in public. What did we say we would act like when we were in public?”As he spoke, his finger traced her bare thigh, and she bit her lower lip. “W-we said we'd act like the perfect couple.”“Then why-” he asked, pinching the inner part of her thigh, “-are you making this so fucking hard, hm? It's quite simple. You slap on a smile in public, you hate me in private. You jump at me with joy in public, you curse me out in private. They are separate areas for a reason. Would it kill you to stop being so difficult?”She couldn't answer immediately, for she was all too aware of his hand slowly creeping up, to the place where she found herself wanting to be touched by him the most. “I'm sorry.”He chuckled. “Sorry doesn't cut it, darling. Action does. Like how your actions right now are showing how much you want my dick in you.”She whimpered when his

"She’s... um, she’s giving us a bit of a hard time. We’d really appreciate if you could come down and speak with her."He was already grabbing his coat.The school looked exactly as he thought it should. It had bright walls, polished floors, too many posters promoting perfect parenthood. What looked different was the woman standing in the middle of the office.It was Ella. And damn, she looked like trouble.Her outfit clung to her body in all the right places. Her hair was down, curled at the ends, and her face was stern in the bossy, fierce, and beautiful enough to make his pulse thrum way.Chase had to physically stop himself from pulling her into a kiss. Ella turned toward him the second he stepped in, her eyes sparking with barely-contained fire."They said I harassed a child," she started, not even giving him a second to breathe.A woman he had never seen before pushed forward, her face flushed red as if all that was stopping her from pouncing on Ella was the possibility of being
