All Chapters of The Billionaire And His Temptress Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The sleek black sedan rolled to a smooth stop beneath the covered entrance of the Imperial Regent Hotel.The moment the chauffeur stepped out to open the rear door, several employees instinctively straightened their posture.A pair of ivory heels appeared first.Then, with effortless grace, Selene Laurent stepped onto the polished pavement.She wore a tailored cream pantsuit that hugged her slender frame perfectly, paired with understated pearl earrings and a silver watch. There was nothing extravagant about her appearance, she didn’t wear makeup or jewelry that screamed luxury, yet she possessed the kind of elegance that naturally commanded attention.Her long raven hair rested neatly over one shoulder as she adjusted the cuff of her blazer.Near the entrance, a constipated Adrian Brooks, personal assistant to Lucien Voss was waiting for her. His usually immaculate composure had completely fallen apart with the issue at hand.“Mrs. Voss—”Selene continued walking toward the revolving

The black sedan rolled through the towering iron gates of the Voss Manor.Nestled atop a sprawling hill overlooking the city, every brick, every column, and every carefully trimmed hedge spoke of generations of wealth and power.The moment the car came to a stop, Lucien sighed.“This is going to be troublesome.”Selene simply glanced at him, keeping quiet.She stepped out first.The butler had already opened the massive double doors by the time they reached the entrance.The moment Lucien crossed the door—[CRASH!]A porcelain vase shattered against the wall beside his head.Fragments of the vase exploded across the polished marble floor. Luckily, not a single shard touched him.Lucien merely glanced at the broken vase before lifting his eyes toward the man standing in the center of the hall.Richard Voss. His father.His expression was frighteningly grim. “You still dare show your face here?!”Lucien slipped one hand into his pocket, a lazy smile tugging at his lips.“How could I ref

It was Monday morning.The elevator doors opened to the executive floor of Laurent Entertainment.Selene stepped out with her tablet tucked beneath one arm as several employees greeted her.“Good morning, Director.” She acknowledged them with a nod before walking toward her office.Only… She stopped seeing several of her employees were inside.Boxes were stacked neatly across the floor while others carefully packed away the books, awards, and framed certificates that had decorated her office for years.Her brows furrowed.“What is going on?”The room immediately fell silent.The employees exchanged nervous glances before one of them quickly lowered his head.“Director… we were instructed to clear the office.”“By whom?”Before anyone could answer, a familiar voice came from behind.“Miss Selene.”She turned.It was her father’s executive assistant.“Chairman Laurent would like to see you.”…Selene went to her father’s office without delay. Demanding for an answer.Her father looked u

Through the tinted windows, Selene could already see the crowd of luxury cars, photographers, and elegantly dressed guests arriving for Mia’s birthday gala.She took a slow breath.This was going to be exhausting.Beside her, Lucien adjusted the cuff of his sleeve before glancing at her.“Before we get out…” he spoke in a low voice, looking at her intently.Selene looked at him.“What is it?” She asked, although her voice remained calm, her expression twisted in irritation.She was still mad at him for colluding with her father into forcing her to work in his company.“Smile.” Lucien suddenly said, looking intently at her.Her brows furrowed. “What?”“You heard me.” He leaned back against the seat. “At least try to look happy. We are husband and wife tonight, remember?”Selene rolled her eyes. “I don’t think anyone expects me to look happy standing beside you. Besides, those old geezers only think that I am an accessory to you.”Unlike the commoners, people here knew that they were ma

Her breath caught.Stefan was walking toward them.Unlike the calm and composed man she remembered, there was desperation written all over his face. His usually neat appearance was slightly disheveled, and his eyes were fixed solely on her, as if the entire room had disappeared.Lucien who was beside her felt her stiffness. His eyes locked on Stefan like a wolf. The playful smile on his lips didn’t disappear. If anything, it widened.Selene glanced at him from the corner of her eye, already sensing the danger behind that smile.She knew Lucien well enough.Whenever he looked this calm, it usually meant he was anything but.His arm around her waist tightened as Stefan finally stopped in front of them. His eyes immediately dropped to Lucien’s hand resting possessively against Selene’s waist.A pained expression flashed across his face.Then his gaze returned to her.“Is it true?”
