"Has she returned?" Gerald asked Yosef. It was the umpteenth time he had posed this question to his assistant. Eventually, Gerald decided to go to the office because he couldn't keep going to the restaurant and disturbing Ariana incessantly. Not that he didn't want to meet her, but he knew she was upset, and Gerald wanted to give her some space for a while. "No, Sir. Not yet," replied Yosef. Gerald glanced at his watch; it was already five o'clock. "Are your staff members still keeping an eye on her?" he inquired again. "Yes, Sir. They said they haven't seen Madam after she went upstairs," Yosef confirmed. Gerald could only nod again. "Make sure they don't get complacent. If they do, I'll cut off their legs, hands, and gouge out their eyes!" he threatened. "Yes, Sir!" was Yosef's reply. Gerald turned his attention to another assistant who stood before him. "What's going on?" he asked the man, who was three years his junior. "As you predicted. After finding out that you got marrie

"Ariana left the restaurant with a takeout bag in her hand. She continued to ignore Gerald, who walked beside her. Her vision was getting blurry, and the sky was darkening. Ariana kept walking, and Gerald's hand gesture made her stumble for a moment. "Where are you going?" the man asked irritably. "Home!" Ariana replied, annoyed. "Home? Your home is where Axel and I are!" Gerald retorted, equally irritated. Axel. Ariana did forget about that kid today. But who cared? She just had to act normal in front of Axel if there were any officials from the department coming for a survey later. Besides that, she had no obligations toward Axel. Or the man in front of her. "Home?" Ariana looked at the man mockingly. "Home is where you want to go back. It's where you feel comfortable and wanted." Ariana said sarcastically. "And I don't want to go back there. I don't feel comfortable there. And clearly, I'm not wanted there." She continued harshly." "Gerald stared at her with a furrowed angry b
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 33. Don't Avoid It
Gerald had finished cooking dinner for both of them. He had even changed out of his formal attire into a short-sleeved shirt and sweatpants that Yosef had sent from his home. The clock showed ten minutes past seven in the evening. His stomach was really growling by now. But it didn't feel right to eat alone. Finally, he decided to go into the room and hope that Ariana had woken up from her sleep. The girl was whimpering in her sleep. Gerald knew something was not right with her body. He approached; she was sleeping on her side with the blanket pulled up to her chin. He sat behind her and tried to feel her forehead. She was running a fever. Gerald peeked and saw that her face was indeed flushed due to the high body temperature. But she wasn't sweating at all. Gerald opened the nightstand and took out some eucalyptus oil. Once again, he poured the oil into his hands and tried to feel her back through the blanket. Slowly, Gerald unhooked the girl's bra so she could breathe more comfor
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 34. Don't Be Tempted
Gerald lowered his head closer to Ariana's face when the girl's face avoided him. Ariana's choice to look away was wrong because it showed the side of her long neck, making Gerald even more interested in touching her. And he intended to do it. Gerald touched the tip of his nose to the girl's neck, smelling the fragrance of the oil he had rubbed on the girl's body. But instead of feeling the smell, he liked it. "Sweet." He said in a whisper in Ariana's ear. The girl shuddered for a moment. Gerald knew that the girl was pressing her head deeper into the pillow's surface, which made him even more touchy and intended to tease her further. "You don't want to look at me?" Gerald was still whispering in the girl's ear. Even deliberately bit the tip of the girl's ear. Ariana's hand was on his chest, trying to push Gerald away. But no matter how hard she tried, Gerald's strength was more muscular than those tiny hands. Gerald now moved his face towards the girl's jaw. he slowly touched hi

Ariana raised an eyebrow and then lifted the corner of her mouth. "I know you're the playboy type, but I didn't realize you were shameless like this," she said mockingly. Gerald seemed to tense up. "What do you mean?" he asked. Ariana shrugged indifferently. "I don't mean anything," she replied flatly. "Who made all of this?" she asked, trying to divert the conversation to the food in front of her and choosing to ignore Gerald. She lifted her spoon and started eating broccoli. "I did," Gerald answered, now sitting in his normal posture. His response made Ariana choke on her food. Gerald quickly brought a glass of water to her mouth. Ariana drank it slowly. Afterward, she stared at Gerald in disbelief. "I cooked it. All of this," he pointed to the food on the table. "Except for that," he said, referring to the fried chicken Ariana had bought earlier. Ariana chuckled and shook her head. "It wouldn't hurt to be honest, Gerald. Just say if you had one of your house assistants come her

"What are you doing?" Ariana shrugged her shoulders to get the man to move away. But instead of driving away, Gerald got closer. He deliberately stood behind Ariana with his arms now wrapped around Ariana's stomach. "I just want to be close to my wife; is that not allowed?" asked the man in a teasing tone. "Stop it, Gerald. Please don't be rude by saying that I'm your wife. In reality, it is just a status on paper." She snorted. Ariana felt uncomfortable with Gerald's presence behind her, but the man's body temperature and touch made her feel comfortable simultaneously. "I never thought of it that way. That's just your assumption from the start. You are sentimental and always think negatively of me." said the man. Well, what the man said was right. It's one hundred percent correct. So who wouldn't think so? Remember how you got married without getting to know each other, dating, without discussion? It was just a marriage at gunpoint. It's a trap marriage. If Ariana is angry with
The Billionaire's Replacement Bride 37. Ariana's Tactics
Ariana slammed the bedroom door shut with force. Her chest was heaving, clearly with intense emotion. She was passionate, of course. She had to admit that. As a mature woman, she was entitled to feel all of this. After all, she wasn't young anymore, and biologically, she was in her prime. But alongside all of that, what Ariana was feeling right now towards Gerald was mostly anger. When she confronted him about other women, he didn't deny it at all. And it was a safe bet that her assumption was correct. Yes, Ariana was only guessing. She didn't really know if Gerald had many women out there or not. She deduced it based on a conversation she overheard between Chris and Gerald. Ariana knew Chris very well—his social life and his love life. She understood her cousin's interactions because he often confided in her. Ariana was frequently asked for help by Chris to keep away the girls who pursued him. And Ariana knew that Chris's romantic escapades weren't just about watching movies, ho

Gerald woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He felt around the bed and even the bedside table, but couldn't find his phone. Where was the thing? Why wouldn't it stay put? He cursed to himself and finally opened his eyes. Alright, his orientation was a bit off. Gerald suddenly remembered he wasn't in his own room. He glanced around the room dominated by white and wooden brown before checking the wall clock. Six o'clock? He grimaced and then abruptly got up. Last night, after Ariana entered Amber's room, he couldn't sleep anymore. It was all because of that girl and Gerald's unmet needs. So Gerald had to take a cold shower at three in the morning and ended up falling asleep, goodness knows what time. He was late, of course. Gerald got up and put on the same pants and shirt he had taken off last night. He didn't even bother making the bed. He left the room and searched for his phone that was ringing again. The phone was on the sofa in front of the TV. Gerald must have left it th
