HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 119
(Anastasia's POV)The meeting ended earlier than I thought. I took a glance at Caleb who was not taking just one glance at me after our encounter at the stairs. I immediately days out of the conference room.And again, I decline his offer. He really won't understand my side. I want our relationship to take one step at a time while figuring out the solution to my arranged marriage.But, knowing Caleb's personality, he wanted everything direct to the point. He wants to take the shortcut while I take the long run. As much as I wanted to take the shortcut, however, I needed to plan out everything, although I am not a UN, I just wanted for us to have unity and peace.I went back to my company and worked till late evening. Today everyone had to work till it was late because of the new stores we were planning to build on the new island.Suddenly, I heard a loud shriek from my employees. I quickly ran out of my room and saw some of the female staff looking at something through the window. The

(Anastasia's POV)Still debating with my inner self whether to attend that wedding gown fitting or not. I might be a lunatic, debating with my inner self, where in fact I was already at the office for an emergency meeting.Mom said the appointment is at 9:00 which is the same appointed schedule of the emergency meeting. I'm not even bothered a bit though.I reached for my coffee and take a sip while sitting comfortably in my swivel chair. I actually arrived here at the company at 5:30 in the early morning. I've never been an early bird, but I have to, just to avoid Mom's presence. I heard Grandfather will come back today. I was hoping that he would stay in France for weeks, for me to just have a little bit of peace. One day and one night are not enough for my inner peace.Letting out a sigh, my phone rang. I reached for my phone on the table and saw Mom's number on the screen. I counted 10 seconds before I answered the call."Hey, Mom. I'm busy right now. Call you later." the pressed

(Anastasia's POV)Sleep was anything but peaceful that night. Haunted about Charles doing and I tossed and turned all night. Before crawling into bed, I had ripped up that f*cking paper and tossed it in the trash, the wedding invitation. But it weighed in on me, and I was drained.My eyes were heavy as I walked into the bright light of the sun while opening the shades in my bedroom. I keep calling Charles but he was not answering any of my calls.Deciding I should get changed and ready for the day, I get ready and exited my room. I've been avoiding Mom since yesterday. And I was surprised that Grandfather did not scold me for not being presented at the dress fitting.He was more worried about the project that was postponed for the meantime, probably, because of that jerk Charles. He made my Grandfather become a Lion, exposing his pangs to everyone. I believe Grandfather is having second thoughts about the marriage.I can see how apologetic Charles's father is to everyone, because of h

(Anastasia's POV)Feeling like a zombie the next morning, I got ready for work within an hour and was out the door by 8:30. It was Friday, and the anxiety of expecting another presence of him was very much present. "Mina, would you see me in my office for a moment?" she looked up from her computer with slight confusion. I entered my office and after a few seconds, Mina came in, striding inside towards my table."Everything alright, Madam?" "Oh, of course, just a little check-up meeting on how things are going," I smiled politely. We discussed the progress of the undertaking as my mind was out of focus on my main agenda because of Grandfather, Charles, and Caleb.I trust my people to do their job according to my will, even though without my presence in every session they carried. My presence was only presented if there were problems or the output was almost done, with Mina's guidance.Everything seems great, and we are almost there to present this to my Grandfather for approval since

(Anastasia's POV)"My apologies for the Chairman's decision but we will never continue this project." Disappointment and haze plastered on each of their faces. Even though I, was heartbroken by my grandfather's conclusion, he never looks to the effort, he focus on the outcome. If he does not like it, he calls it trash, but if it is to his liking, he will call it a great job.He never listens to his subordinate. Well, he is the Chairman, why would he listen to the people below him? He did not even listen to my reasoning, and I stopped myself from persuading him not to cancel the proposal we have."What happened, Madam?" Mina asked with a haze on her face.I deeply sigh, "He already knew that we were scammed. I won't blame any of you if ever someone in here tattles it to him but, let us just hope for the best.""Can you at least persuade him?" Elise muttered and I can sense the annoyance in her tone. Through my peripheral vision, Mina gives her an eye.I smiled, "He has the power, while

(Anastasia's POV)I was woken up by a tap on my leg, I yawned and shielded my eyes cause of the light coming in through the windows.The tap on my leg continued, and I could hear Lily's voice, one of our servants, calling my name as slowly regained consciousness."Good morning, madam Anastasia," she said, smiling at me.I did my normal yawning and moaning waking-up routine until finally, I was fully awake, I rubs my eyes to fully see Lily beside the bed wearing a worried face."Good morning, Lily. I'll skip breakfast today." I started, yawning."Uhmm, Madam, the wedding organizers have arrived for the wedding gown fitting." My eyes widened and abruptly jerk off the bed, I feel like Lily had just thrown freezing water on my face as blood started to drain my face."W-What?"A knock on the door resonated in my ears. Are they really here?Is it already the end of the week?Why was it so fast?Lily opened the door and heaps of wedding gowns, hung on different five clothing racks with whee
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 125
(Anastasia's POV)I gape up at the ceiling in deep thought. What the hell did I get myself into? My life is going to take a drastic turn from this point if I would not do something to prevent this so-called wedding.Enough thinking, I don't want to think anymore. I grab my grey sleeping robe and put it on without tying it. While walking to the bathroom, I tie my hair into a messy bun and wash my face.I just realized I haven't washed my face when the wedding organizers entered my room earlier. That was one embarrassing scene to start my day.Why did they have to walk inside just for the wedding gown fitting? Well, it's pretty obvious that it was Grandfather's doing.Sighing while staring at the mirror, I have had this thought running through my head since this morning.Should I run away with Caleb?I mean... I can still reach out to Alice through social media. She's into social media these days. That was possible. So, why not?Running to my bed and reach for the laptop on my bedside t
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 126
(Anastasia's POV)I waded in a pile of clothes, half-bohemian, half-sophisticated socialite. The former, I felt compelled to buy but never wore. Mother seemed quietly disapproving of anything yellow and nonconformist, and I took peace signs seriously.Until now, apparently, I packed colors brighter than the sun into a new medium size bag. I dressed the part in a loose blouse, checker-print cigarette pants, and white ankle boots. I caught my reflection in the mirror: an emotionless and distressed woman.On my way to the door, I stopped to unclasp my pearl necklace and dropped it into my jewelry box. Then, I wound up the ballerina, setting her on a lonely pirouette, before I tiptoed down the stairs at three in the early morning.Passing Mom's bedroom door, I tiptoed, trying to not create a single creek in the floor, to not wake her soul, and found out my escape plan.My nerves played havoc as I disabled the home alarm, expecting Lily and the other maids to hear the quiet beep and come ou
