Novel & Cerita The Ceo’s Rejected Wife And Secret Heir

— H O O R — . . . I watch the woman closely whom I found to be my husband's personal secretary. Zahir revealed it very casually, announcing her. I am sure she was informed already, keeping in mind that there is a professional way of announcing such news but still, he said it. Somewhere I feel that Zahir did it to make me realize. I did not know who she was, after all — speaking professionally, because I was not even interested in knowing her name or anything else.

I repeated and walked away. Whenever I sparked in that way, I could see the fear in his eyes. Those eyes, the ones I got lost in when I was intoxicated and now, it feels like I was intoxicated with the marriage. I ran upstairs and I slammed the room door. I didn't think twice about it. He was so unfair in a lot of ways to me. I made my way to the table where the contract was. I let out a heavy sigh. “Alexander Blackwood,” I read out loud, and that was the babe of my husband. He was the CEO of Woods Inc, and the only surviving heir to the CEO of B-Diamonds.

The headline says: "ASHCROFT FOUNDATION RETURNS—LEO SERRANO AND WIFE EXPECT FIRST CHILD." Wife? The world tilted on its axis. "They… married?" Pandora's tone is subdued. "Two months ago. Secret wedding in Paris. That's how she received diplomatic coverage—she's now legally part of the Ashcroft board by marriage." "She manipulated us," I gasp. "She wanted us busy so that she could set up her power pieces." "No," Pandora answers. "She wanted Cassian dead. But not before… " I look at her. "Before what?"

I can't go on. "Yes," he'd snarled, the admission tasting like ash even then. "Your father destroyed mine. Killed him, really. That 'accident' after the merger fallout? He drove him to it. Bankrupted us. Left my mother to die alone. I married you to make you feel it. Every bit of it." Cecilia had shaken her head, tears streaming. "No... my dad wasn't... he wouldn't..." Isabel had stepped forward then, hand on her belly fake, all fake, but he'd believed it once. "I'm the one carrying his child, Cecilia. The real heir. Not your little mistake."

"Someone just leaked the whole pact. Everything. It's on every major news site right now. They're calling it the marriage of the century." Celeste felt everything drop. "No. That can't be. Who would—" "There's more." Damien's voice was flat. "The story says we've been secretly engaged for months. That we've been planning to merge the families and create some new dynasty." "That's complete bullshit!" "I know. But the damage is done." He showed her his phone. The headlines were brutal. *BILLIONAIRE HEIRS IN SECRET POWER GRAB* *THE MARRIAGE THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING*

What did that mean? She let out a laugh and flicked her cigarette, blowing smoke rings into the air. "Just joking!" she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding. "Here's the deal," she said, her tone now completely serious. "If you agree to become the CEO's son's wife for the next twelve months, you'll become a millionaire." My jaw dropped open in disbelief. I must have heard her wrong. There was no way she was offering me what I thought she was offering.

he paused, lowering his tone after a raise, "You should ask Elena and me. Don't take such a decision at the dinner table." Freya glanced at her, her expression becoming dark. She held the perfect smile all this while, until it cracked apart by her own son's foolishness. 'How can I make this stupid boy realise this marriage is not just a marriage. It is a powerful deal. Once the marriage happens, he will get the key to their business. After that, he will be as successful as Jamie,' Freya thought, and gritted her teeth. "Master!" A voice gripped everyone's attention.

Young was not favored by his father because of his medical condition…he was paralyzed in his right hand and was thereby mistreated. He didn't let things go according to the way his enemies had thought because he was focused and was finally able to build his own multi-billionaire company with the help of his beautiful wife. Ezekiel being the first child inherited the company and worked hard on it, making the company flourish more than it used to. Now, Zach was walking on that part. So the names were interchangeable but ALBERT was used in a position when required because it was the real Family name. By the time Zach was done typing and proceeded to talk, he noticed that Hera was completely not

“No way! Last Valentine’s Day, I saw him give that beautiful patient a huge bouquet of roses. They looked so sweet together. I bet they’ll get married soon.” “Maybe we’ll see the billionaire reveal his secret lover in the headlines any day now,” they giggled expectantly. My steps froze. My heart twisted with a sharp stab of pain. My marriage to Sebastian was a secret, by contract. We never appeared together in public. No one knew he and I were married except our families and close friends. My mom had hated the idea of me marrying him under a contract, she said I deserved to marry for true love, but she knew I’d been in love with Sebastian since high school, so I was willing to take any kind

That was his late father's request, but he was not officially owner of the company. She asked her husband to stay in that position because she admitted to him that she needed him, especially now that she's pregnant. After the will and testament of her father was readed out, she became the official owner. She already knows what's written on it, but they're still going to tell her stepmother and Jenna about the content to specify what they inherited. She immediately opened the door, right after knocking, and hearing her husband's approval. "Hon, are you alright? Do you want anything?" Shawn asked while looking at her as she walked towards him. Shawn moved a distance to his table and let her si
