A BABY FOR THE BILLIONAIRE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

LESLIE ’S POV The hall was filled; eyes were looking at me, and I knew that so many questions were all over the place about the King's decision.It was my wedding, but it didn’t look like I was the bride.King Max seemed excited about it, but I wasn’t. The smile on his face lingered as he waved at all those who congratulated him, especially the City CEOs who were in attendance and some of the Leaders who graced the occasion. “Smile, my Wife. You will make them think that you were forced to marry me.” He whispered only to my hearing, and then he waved at one of the youngest Leaders who seemed more excited than the others.“I am tired of sitting here and acting like I know what is going on. Can we leave already?” I sighed in exhaustion, and he laughed at me.“We can’t leave just yet, Leslie. That will be very rude of us, but we can leave on one condition.”“What condition?” I asked at once, but as soon as I saw the look on his face I changed my mind.“I don’t want to hear it. Forget a

LESLIE ’S POV “What are you doing, Leslie ?” The voice inside my head was annoyed, but Max had compelled me with his eyes to remain still.“I want you.” He said, and it resounded in my head while I remained frozen.“I want you, My Moonlight, and I am going to have you.” His ego was still intact, but his words sounded like a sweet threat, the kind that I needed to hear.Viola couldn’t wait, and she was stronger than my mind. My body was weak, and so was my desire to resist him. “You are so beautiful, Leslie. I made the right choice by making you mine.” He stood up gently, but his hands were still on my body, and he had grabbed my thighs with both hands.I groaned, and my eyes shut instantly.I should have known what he was up to when he locked the door twice, but I guess I was willing to explore. “Take this off.” He pulled down my dress, and I grabbed my breasts at once, covering them while I stood naked before him.“We need to shower. We have to wash off all of those sweats from t

LESLIE ’S POV “I am sorry for disturbing you both on your first night as a couple. My father didn’t want to let me out, but I insisted on coming no matter what. You look so lovely in that dress.” Catherine admired the white dress with golden embroidery I was putting on, but I was busy trying to read the look on her face.She was very good at hiding her true nature, but I was convinced that she was very jealous. Then she saw it: the bracelet I was wearing. “You gave it to her? It belonged to your mother.” She could no longer hide the jealousy in her eyes, and the fact that Max had no explanation to give to her made it hurt more. “It looks good on you.” She said with a forced smile, and I knew that she didn’t mean her words. The look in her eyes showed that she wished that the bracelet was hers, and she would have snatched it from me if she could.“Catherine?” Max had to call out to her when he saw that she kept on staring at the bracelet without saying anything.“Oh, I am sorry. I

LESLIE ’S POVMax was speechless, but he was also thinking about the things I said to him. “You think that Catherine and Asher are having an affair?” He waited for me to speak, but I decided that I was going to allow the thoughts to settle first because I knew from the look on his face that he had tried to consider it to be true. “No! That’s not possible, Leslie !” He shook off the thoughts when he felt the sensation from the alleged betrayal. “That’s a very serious allegation, Leslie! Asher would never do such a thing. He has a lover whom he intends to marry when the time is right.” I saw trust and confidence for Asher in Max’s eyes, and I couldn’t blame him even though I was convinced that everything that I had seen was pointing to something.“I am not accusing anyone of anything, but I am just saying that…” “Get the thought out of your head, Leslie. Asher would never betray me for any reason. Maybe Catherine may have tried to ignite the flame that burned between them, but Ashe

MAX’S POV It was Ravenna, and she looked very disturbed as she walked in slowly.Her eyes were staring very hard at Leslie, and I knew what she had in mind.“Does this mean that my fate has been sealed, Ravenna?” I stood up from the bed and waited for her to say something, but she chose to remain silent while she continued staring at Leslie.“Maybe I shouldn’t have married her, but I was thinking that getting married to her was going to break the curse. I didn’t know that…” “The curse can only be broken if she is aware, King Max.” Ravenna was quick to interrupt me, and even though she didn’t mean to do that, I understood that she was angry.“I warned you about getting married to her, my king.” She sighed sadly, and then she walked closer to Leslie.“I know, Ravenna. I know you warned me.” I said with a regretful whisper, and then I watched to see what Ravenna was about to do. Slowly, she touched Leslie on her forehead, but as soon as she closed her eyes, they were forced open, and
