Married To My Ex's Billionaire Boss のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

My hands trembled slightly as I smoothed out my gown to help calm the butterflies in my stomach. In less than an hour, I would be walking down the aisle and making my way to marry the man of my dreams.“Wow,” my Maid of Honor, Sarah, said from behind me. “You look absolutely stunning. Logan is going to lose his mind when he sees you.”I smiled, hoping she was right. Logan and I had been together for three years, and while things hadn't always been perfect, I loved him. He was charming, successful, and he'd chosen me. Sometimes I still couldn't believe someone like Logan wanted to marry someone like me.The door to the bridal suite opened and Logan himself walked in wearing his tailored black tuxedo.“Logan!” I squealed, my heart jumping at the sight of him. “You’re not supposed to see me yet. It's bad luck.”“That’s just superstition,” he said grinning at me. His eyes roamed over my dress. “You look amazing baby.”As I gazed into my soon-to-be husband's eyes, I could feel that usual f

It was a small wedding. Nothing like what I'd imagined my dream wedding would have been. Just a judge, two courthouse employees as witnesses. I wore a borrowed dress from the courthouse lost and found because my wedding gown was covered in dirt. The whole thing took ten minutes.Now I was sitting in Elijah Washington's car, A sleek black sedan trying to process what I'd just done."Here," He pulled out a thick document from the safe and handed it to me. “What's this?” I stared at it. “Your contract.”Rich people are so weird. They have contracts for everything. "You actually had this printed out?" I asked, flipping through the pages. "I like to be thorough." He didn't look at me as he pulled out his phone. "Read it all.”I forced myself to focus on the document until I found the actual terms.**The Wife shall reside exclusively in the Husband's penthouse for the duration of this agreement.****The Wife must be accompanied by the Husband or his security before going outside the r

We pulled up at a building that looked more like an expensive hotel than a medical facility."What is this place?" I whispered to Elijah as we stepped into an elevator."It's a private hospital." He explained. "My family has been members for three generations. They cater to the Washington family only."I guess rich people didn't have to go to normal hospitals like us commoners.I had no idea what I was walking into. I'd just signed a contract with this man hours ago and now I was about to meet his grandfather while pretending to be madly in love with him.What a terrific day I’m having. When the elevator opened, we stepped straight into what looked like a private wing. There were no patients in sight and the place was so quiet and very beautiful. Before I could take it all in, a woman rushed over to us making me jump back in fright. She threw her arms around Elijah. She smelled heavily of perfume. Elijah appeared uncomfortable at first, his body going rigid but he slowly hugged her

I decided to get out of my clothes and take a long, hot shower. The bath was so amazing. When I got out I felt like a brand new person. I changed into my pajamas, which was a simple tank top and shorts and was about to climb into that massive bed when there was a knock on my door."What?" I called out. "We need to talk. Are you decent?”I groaned and pulled open the door. Elijah stood there, still in his dress shirt though he'd ditched the tie entirely. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone now, and I could see the sexy column of his throat. I looked away quickly."Can't it wait?”His eyes flicked down briefly, and I suddenly remembered I was in a tank top and shorts.I crossed my arms over my chest feeling exposed."This'll be quick," he said, though his voice sounded slightly strained. "We need to talk about the gala.""What about it?""We'll need to be more... convincing.”"More convincing? Your grandfather seemed completely sold." I raised my eyebrow."Not my grandfather.

"Wait."He pulled back so abruptly, breathing hard. His eyes were filled with lust and a flash of panic crossed his face. "Wait," he repeated, pulling himself away from me. I lay there in confusion but I could still feel his touch on my body. My heart was racing and my skin was on fire. "I'm sorry." He ran a hand through his hair, refusing to look at me. "We shouldn't be doing this."At that moment I felt so embarrassed. I wished there was a hole I could crawl into. He pulled me up gently from the bed and before I could say anything he kissed my forehead softly. "See you tomorrow," he said quietly. "Have a good night." Then he walked out and closed the door behind him without even looking back.I stared at the closed door. My emotions were literally all over the place. I looked all over the room trying to make sense of what the fuck just happened. I fell back onto the massive bed and stared at that ridiculously high ceiling.This man was going to drive me insane.★★★★★I woke up
