HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 4
THALIAMy heart thrummed violently in my chest while dashing out of the elevator. The feeling of being alone with Mr. Kane was driving me insane. If I had known that he was my boss, I wouldn't have kicked him where it deeply hurt.Jeez, that's so embarrassing!Heading alone to my apartment, which was only a walking distance away from the company, I felt someone had been following me since earlier. I took a peek behind me and saw familiar faces, following my tracks while merging into the crowd of people. Do they think I wouldn't notice them?Just great, Dad! He still installed a human surveillance camera on me.We had a deal that I'll be free for three months. Is that difficult for his side? I'm an adult, and I know what good things to do and bad things to avoid.I took my phone from my pocket with a frown and was about to call Dad, but I was surprised when my phone rang. Dad is calling.“Da–”“Seriously, Thalia Carter? Kane Group? How did you approach them?” He started with a raging

THALIAI can sense his coldness a few feet away from me. I almost held my breath while staring at the floor, waiting for the elevator door to open, but I guess I might die if I continued doing that.Did he just arrive from the meeting? Why is he going downstairs, then?I should not give a f*ck about his whereabouts or what he's been doing. I'm not his secretary nor a girlfriend. I'm working far from where he is. I must finish that task before he arrives in his office later.My phone rang, which made me startled and ruined the silence. I immediately turned it off and glanced at the person I cautioned off.He's not staring directly at me but… through the elevator door mirror, shot on mine. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I avoided his intense stare at me. If he's just an ordinary person without a grudge against me, I might melt at his lustful stare– Jesus Christ! Why does this elevator take so long to arrive on the first floor? With a deep breath, I bit my lower lip because of t

THALIAMy fingers fidgeted with one another as I stood still, lowering my head to the floor, and avoiding eye contact with my boss, Damon. He looks somewhat furious at what Sarah had told him and I don't know what mistake I made earlier that made them both let out their rage on me.Sarah was furiously holding a small box where shredded papers inside.She was accusing me of something earlier but Mr. Kane came and stopped her from slapping my face. If ever that happens, that is my first slap since I was given birth. I don't know if that really hurts.“Speak.” Damon's cold tone makes me a creep, that's why I can't look at his scary eyes.“She ruined the proposal I made for the meeting later.” My eyes widened at Sarah's accusations. “I did not!”Why would I ruin someone else's belongings? Especially important documents. “Do you think I will accuse you without evidence? Let's go to the CCTV room!” Sarah exclaimed in rage.I frown in confusion. There is also evidence. How come? “I've bee

THALIAMy hands began to tremble in fear with the thought that someone just warned me using that creepy tone. My heart began to beat furiously as my eyes scanned my surroundings. Everyone was busy with their own business. No one was suspicious.I flinch when someone touches my shoulder.I was on the verge of tears when I turned around, but Damon's frown made my tears come back inside my socket.If he sees a single tear from my eyes, he will mock me for being a crybaby again.He's really a jerk.“Is there something wrong, your highness?” I immediately avoided his eyes. “N-Nothing.”“I saw you being followed the other day.”I swallowed the lump in my throat. “Followed? O-Oh… that's…” If I say that's my bodyguard, he will mock me for being a disney princess again. “Maybe an admirer?” What kind of dumb thing is that?I saw how he scoffed as if he had heard a ridiculous thing tonight. “Admirer? Well, I can say that you have the looks but…” He leaned in closer, enough for me to smell his

THALIARage was evident through his eyes as I laid my eyes on him. He's fuming in rage and that's because of what he just discovered this morning.“Mr. Kane–”“Did you apply for an internship to be a spy for your father and to sabotage my company?”My heart pounded furiously at the way he gritted his teeth. “N-No, no! It's not me, Mr. Kane!”“Then what about this?” He angrily pointed at the documents on the table. “Are you fucking playing dumb?”I stared at the papers and thought through if I had even mistakenly used my computer for the past few days. However, I've been in Mr. Kane's office for three days and a half.He slammed his hand on the table causing me to jolt in fear.“I-It's not really me!” I grabbed the papers and looked at the date of the transaction. “The date… It was deposited in my account two days ago. But I'm not in the office at this time. I didn't use my computer for three days. I've been working my butts off for three days here in your office, Mr. Kane.” I desperat
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 9
THALIAMy heart was beating furiously when the black Ferrari suddenly turned on as the window at the back seat rolled down.I almost cursed to see Mr. Damon Kane's mug, glaring at me like he wanted to bury me alive.“I'll deduct your stipend if this was damaged.”I don't need your stipend!“I a-apologize, sir.”“Going home?” My brow raised in doubt at his question. Did he wait for me? Nah, stop being delusional–“Get in.”“Ha?”“Don't make me wait.” His tone was cold and firm, and if I won't move, he will cut my head down at this moment.I immediately entered his car.This is better than walking or taking a cab. It feels safer– wait… safer? I abruptly looked at him with widened eyes as the engine came alive.Why did I feel I'm safer in riding his car? What if he will take me somewhere unknown and kill me without anyone knowing? What he knows is that I took his one million.I bit my lower as my fingers fidgeted on my lap. Anxiety kicks in as I keep glancing at the window, making sure

THALIA “If there's anything else, just call the nurse.” The doctor said before leaving the VIP room where Mr. Kane is confined.Well, he was not literally confined. He only needed time to rest or sleep without distractions. Mr. Kane needed time to rest himself from work. He over-stressed his mind and body, causing him to experience severe head pain. And his insomnia added to the situation.I stride to the fridge and drink some water to relieve my worries about what happened to Mr. Kane.To be honest… I was scared to death.He was so pale, and he was not responding to my slap on his face. If he's alright, he should have reacted and scowled me for touching him.With a sigh, I turned to Mr. Kane and saw him sleeping peacefully on the king-size bed.His face was now relaxed, and that made my heart feel lighted.He made me worried.Wait… why am I overreacting? Is it because he's my boss? Will my internship certificate be at risk if something terrible happens to him? Also, I have no one
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 11
THALIALike a barrage of steel, the rain fell in a straight, silvery stream. It clattered into the pavement roads and the buildings. The thunder created some sounds like grand pianos crashing, then subsided to a gentler continuous rumbling, which was virtually smothered by the sound of the rain.The sky is lonely. That was all I thought while watching the rain alone-- I mean, not totally alone.I was shoved in Mr. Kane’s direction when a woman full of baggage dashed through the door.Mr. Kane's warm fingers curled in my arms. My heart began to pound when I realized his warmth reached my chest.I immediately stepped away from him.The long silence was deafening. Even the sound of the car's engine passing by didn't move away from the silence between us.“H-How are you feeling? Are you really fine?”“For the nth time, yes, I'm fine, Thalia.”Thalia… he called me casually for the second time. He yelled my name earlier, though. He usually called me ‘Your Highness’, so it's surprising he fi
