Chapter 38
DAWN
What was that about?Why was he so distant?Somehow, I find myself walking towards the extended lobby and then stumbling inside the elevator car, my eyes on the floor.Did he really leave without saying anything?Why was he in such a hurry?Did something happen at work?What is he hiding from me?Does he not trust me enough to open up to me?Scary thoughts swirl through my head as I swallow and sigh inadvertently. Wringing my fingers, I bite my lower lip.I wanted to surprise him.Instead, I was surprised by how formal he was when he kissed me.Is this how it will always be when we are at the office?Feeling embarrassed at the whole encounter, I bite the insides of my cheek. Not knowing where I'm going, I press the call buttons on the keypad to take me to the cafeteria floor.If I have to be an emotional wreck about what my husband feels about me, I will not do all the thinking on an empty stomach.FuckRelated chapters

DAWNLater in the afternoon, when I'm on my fifth cup of coffee, I watch my phone buzz, sitting next to my computer. Fidgeting with the stylus on my work tablet, I unlock the screen. My eyes zero in on a message sent from an unknown number.Do you really think I won't be able to find you?Sucking in a deep breath, I stare at the sender's number of the suspicious message I just received on my phone. No matter how hard I think, I still can't put the number to a name in my head. I think long and hard about this.Who is this?Is it him?Could it be him?I thought he must have forgotten all about me.Is he still keeping tabs on me?Another message pops up on my screen.I know you're hiding in plain sight, but I can't really tell how long you'll keep hiding from me, Dawn. ;)As I'm reading the insidious text of the current message on my phone screen, two more messages pop up from the same number. Biting the inside of my lips, I open t

KYLEFeeling the anticipation as I head home after the long day I have just had feels soothing. The drive back home puts me in a mood of excitement and merriment. I feel like a child on Christmas morning waiting to open the gifts my nanny has planned and picked out for me because I had been such a good boy the entire year. Even hearing Neil whistling while he drives me back home doesn't sullen my mood even a little bit."Are you done texting your wife, Mr Waugh?" Neil asks. "Can I have my phone back? I need to text a friend."Picking up the phone from my side of the seat, I hand it back to him with a warning."Don't text and drive, Neil. It is not safe." I shake my head. "It's not a good habit unless you want to get us killed."Neil laughs."I wanted to text my friend after I dropped you off." He licks his lips. "I have a church meeting I want to attend tonight, and I am also running a bake sale over the weekend. That's why I needed my phone for updates
The Billionaire's Instant Bride Chapter 41
KYLE"Do you want me to get rid of your shirt?" I smile as I bring my nose to inhale her scent as I caress my nose against her neck. I lick her chin slowly, gently moving to her ear, and then take a moment to kiss her neck. "I want to get access to your beautiful chest." Sighing, I step a step back as I hold her shoulders. "Or you can go upstairs and clean up. God, I need to stop trying to be inside you the moment you come home."Dawn finally talks, licking her lower lip as she stares at my hands."I want you to get access to my chest." She laughs nervously. "And I like how you're trying to get inside me the moment I came home." She bites her lower lip and makes a show of it. "I guess we both missed each other, huh?""I sure did miss you."Stepping closer to her, I open the top few buttons of her shirt. The silk fabric beneath it reveals a black bra with intricately embroidered red and pink poppies on the cups. It's the one I picked out for her alongside her

DAWNWaking up in Kyle's arms, I raise my head a little to look at the surroundings. Bright light pops in from the curtains as I shove a hand in my hair to remove it from my face. As I blink my sleepy eyes slowly a few times to clear my vision, my eyes fall onto the wall clock, and I sigh into the back of my hand to see that it's close to five-thirty a.m. The sun outside feels hot, and I stretch my limbs drowsily, wondering if I have a lot of work today on my hands. I remove Kyle's warm hand from my torso and sit up as I straighten my back to lean against the headrest.Yawning, I watch Kyle's bare chest rise and thud as he inhales comfortably in his sleep. Immediately, a blush colours my lips as I replay the events from last night. I reckon we moved from his den eventually to eat the dinner he cooked for me before I came home, and then he stayed up with me in bed as we stared at the ceiling and talked. I remember him caressing my hair to comfort me when sleep became heavy
The Billionaire's Instant Bride Chapter 43 (Kyle's POV)
KYLEWhen I wake up in the morning to get ready for work, I feel Dawn's warm hand resting on my bare chest. I twist and turn against the sheets to face her. Her fingers lay outstretched, and her chest rises and thuds gradually as she breathes while sleeping. Her mouth makes a pout, and her eyes move beneath her lids. I reach her face with my long fingers to fix her hair behind her ear.I reckon it's a blessing to watch her fall asleep next to me and wake up next to her.My fingers fix more of her hair as I kiss her on her cheeks. Her eyes flutter beneath her lids for a second, but then she hides her face as she moves to sleep on her side. Begrudgingly, I rip the duvet off me, take a moment to properly spread it over her body and get out of bed. I wish I could spend another fifteen minutes with her, staring at her sleepy face and caressing her, but I have to get to work early for a meeting.The planning team is almost in the final stages with the most significant
The Billionaire's Instant Bride Chapter 44
KYLEThe morning meeting puts me in a funky mood, unlike anything I have ever experienced. I'm this close to snapping at people, and I realise I'm feeling upset when I see Ms Burton's face when she steps into the room and stares at me expectantly."To what do I have the pleasure of seeing you this early, Ms Burton?" I clear my throat. "Why are you here? Please explain yourself.""Fiona wanted me to tag along so I can take down the meeting minutes." I look at her hands to see if she's holding a notepad, but to my amazement, she's actually carefully holding a large computer tablet between her fingers. Her face breaks out into a smile as she stares at me. When she catches me looking at her hands, she gives me an even brighter smile. Her smile pisses me off. "Oh, this, Mr Waugh. Actually, I thought it was high time I put in a request for a company tablet so I can take down the notes efficiently and not waste time typing everything down on my computer a second time to send

KYLE"So, this is what we have decided on, Mr Waugh. I think it's of utmost importance to be cognizant in this meeting that we need to allot 30% of the total advertising resources to the planning team so they can collaborate with the marketing team and review campaigns as needed going forward." Fiona speaks on behalf of the marketing team. "Do you know this will probably save us 20% in overall spend if we compare our metrics from last month and decide where to put our focus next if we compare the data between both teams and share responsibility?" Ms Jenkins touches her lower lip. "I think if both teams work together on this, we will not only be able to go through the last six months' data faster but also save on the extra manpower we would probably have to hire from outside just to keep things progressing smoothly under this project."Flipping the pages of the planning report with my fingers, I circle some data with a pen on a page that catches my attention. This informati
The Billionaire's Instant Bride Chapter 46
DAWNAfter Neil drops me at work, I keep my head down while walking into the office. I still have around thirty minutes before Fiona is supposed to come out of the conference room, so I take my time taking the stairs instead of the elevators. The couple of flight of stairs that leads towards my office floor winds me out, and I find it hard to breathe. Taking a minute to pause as I catch my breath, I reflect on how I haven't had the time to frequent the yoga studio where I usually get my weekday practice. Sucking another breath, I make a mental note that I need to keep healthy, and I need to find another yoga and wellness studio that's closer to Kyle's home so I can go there on the weekends.Maybe I can check something out on the internet when I get home.That's when it suddenly dawns on me.I've practically moved into Kyle's house, haven't I?It feels like I had wanted to have this conversation with him, but I always chicken out.And it doesn't look lik
