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

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

DAMONI glare at her as she awkwardly smiles at me. Why force herself to do stuff she isn't willing to do? It's obvious she's hesitant to stay in a man's house, and most of all, it's her boss's house.My car keys jangle in my hand as I turn to her with confusion. “You sounded not sure.”“I… am.” She shrugged.“Stop playing and just follow me–”“Look, it's raining hard.”I'm not blind, woman.“My car has a roof.” I firmly said.“B-But–”“Enough.”I reached for the towel, which was wrapped around her shoulders, and pulled her out of the house. She doesn't have any choice but to follow me while pouting.I'm thankful that she accompanied me to the hospital. I'm not sure what happened but I know it's because of stress. I'm having trouble sleeping too, which added to my condition.We were on our way to my garage when suddenly a thunderstruck lightning passed by in the sky. Then, a loud grumble echoed, causing Thalia to scream at the top of her lungs and drop to the ground.“F*ck.” I cursed

THALIAHaving meals with a man whom I was supposed to avoid was the most awkward meal I had all my life. Despite him being my boss at work, I also insisted on staying at his place because it was raining so damn hard.I'm scared.The fact that someone has been following us since earlier and Mr. Kane might collapse again while driving the car, I'm also scared of the thunderstorms. I'm scared to be alone in this kind of weather. I hope, Mr. Kane didn't notice my cowardness. He will tease me someday because of this. After meals, I headed upstairs to the guest room. The maid lent me simple clothes and led me to this room. I laid down the bed with a heavy sigh. “Should I ask my Dad to bring back my bodyguards or not?”Suddenly, I don't feel safe when I realize how scary the world is. Dad has eyes everywhere, so if something happens to me, he will know first. I rolled down the blanket while groaning in frustration.My pride was killing me. If I contact my Dad, I will accept defeat. That

THALIAA moan escaped from my lips as I felt a sudden headache when my consciousness was back. With a heavy sigh, I open my eyes slowly. The first thing I saw was the russet ceiling, which was the opposite color of my room.My eyes widened and sat straight up in the bed.Right, I'm in Mr. Kane's room. Last night…“You're awake.”I almost had a heart attack at his hoarse voice. I scanned my surroundings to find Mr. Kane on the couch with his laptop on his lap.“U-Uhmm…”Did he not sleep last night? It seems he's obsessed with work first thing in the morning.Shame ran through my veins as I buried my face in my knees while slowly reaching for the blanket to cover myself.Being on his own bed while he was there on the couch the whole night was giving me an embarrassing moment of my life.Where's the courage I had yesterday when I pleaded to let me stay for a night? “Ralf Torpio… you know him?” He suddenly asked, which made me flinch.“Wh-Who's that?”“The attacker last night. His target

THALIAThe whole ride was giving me anxiety as we got closer to his company. I'm really uncomfortable every time people see us together. We are both from high-profile families and people might misinterpret what they might see.Why did he have to wait for me? I really sometimes can't read what's on his mind. But to be honest, this is better. I'm more afraid to walk alone. I'm afraid that more than one person is planning to kill me.Do I really need to ask my father for help? The car came to a stop because of the traffic. I panicked when I noticed that we were getting nearer to the company.“I-I can walk from here–”I was about to open the door but I heard a click. He just locked the door.“Can't you see the sign?” I glance at where he's looking. My shoulders dropped as soon as I saw the no-drop-off signboard at the side of the road. “Th-Then… We can go straight to the parking basement–”“I’m late for my meeting.” He cuts my words off as he starts the engine back.“Mr. Kane!” I turn
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 16
DAMONThe meeting started with the Beta team to report on the progress of our project. However, I keep glancing at Thalia, who seems uncomfortable in her seat. Her fingers fidgeted at her pen while staring at her laptop.She didn't expect this to happen.I can sense the whole room's ambiance. They also didn't expect to see the daughter of Carter in our meeting. I'm not sure why I decided to keep her near me. I'm just bothered that it's not only a stalker scheme. I feel like that jerk who tried to kill her was not alone. They're watching her from afar. Monitoring her movements. I really want to talk to Caleb Carter to protect his daughter but seeing Thalia afraid that her father might hear about this, I'm now torn.I'm torn between protecting her or just letting her die. She's not my responsibility. She's only a trainee in my company and a daughter of my nemesis. But the attempted murder happened in my place. So I believe I'm involved now.I've been curious about who's behind this
