[Blaze]Virgil didn't disappoint a second time by giving me a better proposal. He changed the things I protested, even going into more detail than expected. That was his proposal that I knew.I didn't send it to Patrick via email or special courier. I came directly to his office. His secretary welcomed me and Kyle cordially and then escorted us to the luxurious office of the CEO of Johnson & Son Corporation."I told you not to come, Blaze. Just send it by courier. I know you have a lot of work." Patrick approached as I entered and extended his hand."You are one of my priority clients. So, this is a service I must provide." I shook his hand for a moment. I wasn't surprised that his daughter was also in the room."It's an honor, Blaze. I understand better why my father insisted on using your company." She extended her hand, but I just nodded."You must be busy. Can we start now?" I asked Patrick.The man glanced at his daughter before replying, "Sure. Have a seat."The father and daugh

Heather didn't share what she'd been doing all day or what had happened to her. She wasn't obligated to report everything to me because I wasn't the husband who had been there for her.But I was aware of her movements through people stalking her or the surveillance cameras of her shop that my friend hacked for me. I didn't want to fail to protect her anymore. What Cullen did was enough to jolt me out of my slumber."Your boss calls you the second-best person he has. What happened this afternoon? was that what you call the job of a personal bodyguard?" I asked.She bowed her head, not answering my question. This woman's monthly services are costly, and her expertise only extends to this. Did my friend not choose the wrong person?"I asked you a question," I stated."I'm sorry, sir," she replied. "I only answer to Miss Bailey. She is my superior.""Do you think she can afford to pay for your services in full out of her pocket?""You mean—""Even if I don't pay you, as her husband, I hav
The Billionaire's Ugly Wife 37|Short Getaway
[Heather]At first, I wasn't fond of the idea and how he brought me to this place. But after eating good food, bathing in the warm shower, and enjoying the cool air in the middle of the lake, I changed my mind.I couldn't remember the last time I took a vacation. All I'd done since being kicked out of my house was work until late at night. It wasn't until the last month that I could relax a little because the shop was running steadily. Sales went up and down, but I still made a daily profit.The rain made our journey back to the shore difficult. Blaze started the engine so we could get to lakeside faster. I couldn't help but laugh as I saw his cold face turn into panic. It was an expression I rarely saw.But when we got off the boat and saw that our surroundings were wet with rainwater, I stopped. Why did we have to avoid the rain? We were on vacation. We had nothing to catch up on, so we had to eat on time. Besides, my clothes were wet. That could be our only chance to enjoy getting

Last week was overwhelming. Some things happened that I didn't expect, but this week started on a good note. Hopefully, that was a sign that many more positive things would happen by the end of the week.Without waiting any longer, I went to the car dealership and finished the business with the insurance. I'd better come home late again but have a new vehicle than put this off. I got the same car. The good news was that the year of manufacture was this year.The car brand was costly, but it was worth it for the quality. I learned a lot from Blaze about car quality. Therefore, I bought the same brand of car as him when I had enough money. Cullen was such a bastard. He blew it up."What are you doing here?" asked the owner of the voice that was already familiar to my ears.Seriously. I was excited about this surprise, but someone had already ruined it. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. I looked at the insurance agent and sales dealer accompanying me."If we're done, may I

I could work leisurely the next day. I got to the meeting on time. We discussed the promotion plan I had mentioned the previous week. Faye kept her word by insisting on using me as the model for our flyer. "All the meeting participants agreed, except you. Then you can't refuse, Heather," Faye concluded, closing the topic. "Customers will leave, and we won't get any new ones if I'm the model," I protested. "Are you willing to risk my business for something so risky?" Since Faye was chairing the meeting, she ignored my remark and moved on to the next topic. I couldn't believe my assistant would do that to her highest superior. To retaliate, I just kept quiet when she asked for my opinion. Let them think of solutions to their problems. After the meeting, I waited until everyone had left and then spoke to Faye. "You can't do that. This shop's reputation could be ruined if we choose me as a model." "I've been with you since the store was just established. Do you still doubt my judgment
The Billionaire's Ugly Wife 40|Time to Think
I stared at the large envelope in confusion. Remembering what her trusted person was investigating, I understood. The envelope contained important evidence that showed Cullen had blown up my car. Finally, I could punish that man like his mother. I accepted the envelope and sat down on one of the couches. Charity followed me by sitting by my side. My heart was beating happily. What evidence did her confidant manage to find? I thought I would never get my hands on this precious object. The contents of the envelope were just a pile of papers. I turned to Charity with a furrowed brow. I thought there would be a CD or a flash drive. When I checked, there wasn't. There were only a few papers I wasn't sure would hold up as evidence. "What are these, Charity?" I asked, confused. "Read them." She glanced at the paper in my lap. Although I was confused about what information she was trying to convey, I complied. I glanced at the topmost paper, which was upside down. I turned it around and r
The Billionaire's Ugly Wife 41|Time to Talk
The apartment was empty, indicating that Blaze wasn't home yet. I took the opportunity to pack up all my clothes and stuff. Everything was enough in one suitcase. No matter what he would say later, I was determined not to return to this place.My cell phone vibrated, so I checked it. It was an incoming message from Charity. I smiled to see she only sent a cartoon picture of a girl smiling sweetly. The picture made me smile, too. I replied to her with a picture of a winking girl.I was even more grateful to be friends with her. She helped me so much. The information about Blaze was the most significant help she had ever given me. What touched me was that I got that expensive information for free from her.Hearing the sound of the door opening, I didn't glance at the door. I knew he was coming home. My heart was slowly beating fast, making me a little nervous. I held my hands, which were starting to tremble. It was going to be our most painful conversation yet."Hi, sweet pumpkin!" he g

After talking, Taylor came with me to the apartment. Even on weekends, those reporters still swarmed my shop. Fortunately, I didn't have to leave this place for the time being. I didn't have any appointments or stay with Blaze anymore.Taylor placed the grocery bag on the kitchen counter and pulled out the contents. She threw a bottle of drink at me. She just laughed when I gave her a sharp look. Did she think we're kids to play throw and catch?I sat down on the sofa and then turned on the television. I chose a channel that showed comedy movies even though I wasn't sure it would help me smile. The problem I was facing right now was very complicated."It's not too late to change your mind." Taylor handed me a bag of potato chips."I'm sure of my decision," I said firmly. I opened the bag and started eating the contents. "I don't know how to apologize to Darcy.""What?" She turned to me with rounded eyes. "What did you say earlier? You want to apologize to Darcy? For what?""If I had l
