HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 19
(Caleb's POV)As soon as I step out of the elevator, I saw Lianne stepping out of her room. When our eyes meet, she smiles and runs towards me."You're still here?" she said in amusement."The meeting ended earlier than I thought," I state before proceeding to our room."Great! Let's visit the Eiffel Tower now! Pretty please Caleb, please please please!" she held my arms and swung back and forth."Fine, let's ask Ana." they are both first-timers here in Paris. I should tour them around, at least to enjoy this trip. We headed inside but it seems the place are in stillness."Ana?" No response. I noticed that her handbag and credit card that I left for her is already gone."She must be gone out. Why don't we explore this city, just us two," Why did she go out alone? She is not familiar with this place."Caleb?""Let's ask the receptionist." I walk out to our room, and Lianne followed behind me.I ask the receptionist if she had seen my wife. Employees here knew me as this hotel owned by

(Caleb's POV)I poured a drink into my glass, ignoring the woman's presence who was not cease her finger lingering in my body. This day makes it even worst while having her presence near me."One tequila please," she asks the bartender. I just let her, I don't have the energy to argue with her. "What's wrong?" She's using her flirty tone."Leave me alone, Sophia." I firmly said."I can be your shoulders to cry on, Caleb," I smirk at her statement. Is she serious right now?"I already warned you way back in Germany, to not bother me anymore." this time I give her an augury tone so that she can get that I am goddamn serious."Do you think I would give up that easily?" fury surged through her."You already give up on me, Sophia. The day when you cheated on me... with Byron." my edge of irritation had returned causing me to remember that nightmare from the past. I shook my head and swallowed the last drop of the cocktail in my glass."I told you many times that it was just an accident. Tha

(Anastasia's POV)The air was cool but the sun was out, the wind blew itself passed our bare skin as we strode out from the glass elevator. Mikael joined us on this tour as he will guide us to the next destination, he said we will love it.We ride at Mikael's Bugatti Veyron as we headed somewhere I don't know. I didn't ask Caleb as he is busy chatting with Mikael in front.A wedge of sunlight burst past the narrow window of the car as it stopped at Montmartre Hill, that's what it plastered on the big signboard."It's the Grape Harvest of Montmartre this week." Mikael got off from his car."It's a festival, Ana," Caleb said as he follows Mikael.Caleb open the door for me as I was still amazed at how beautiful the place is.We headed to the entrance and climbed the stairs up to the top, I guess. And a pop-up market of little white open-front tents which are similar to those found in brocantes, welcome us as we entered. They sell everything from specialty food including a red wine sorbet

(Anastasia's POV)We arrive at the ancestral mansion a couple of hours after our trip from Paris. He said, he needed to finish some work here, so I just tag along, since his mansion is a U-turn, It's a hassle to turn back just to drop me home.His entire demeanor changed when we arrived. He completely ignored me and barely waved me off like a nuisance. I wouldn't say that I didn't expect that, but it did hurt.That kiss? He meant nothing but just a kiss. What would I expect? I meant nothing to him.Once the car stops, Caleb shut the car door closed roughly. I get out trailing behind, as I try to catch up to him. We reach the big front door and unlock the door."Martha," Caleb calls out right as we enter. Just then hurried footsteps approach us and I see an older woman rush up to us."Welcome back Mr. & Mrs. Carter, what do you need, sir?" She replies."A coffee in my office now," he orders coldly before walking off in another direction.Martha nods her head before walking up to me, hel

(Caleb's POV)My eyes flicker open as I shake my head, getting out of the blank headspace I was in. Even though it only felt like a second, the time and environment felt longer than a second. As I looked at Byron, I gave him a questioning gaze while he looked horrified."Better now?" He asks with worry and doubt."Yeah," I reply groggily while rubbing my forehead."What happened?""You fainted, maybe due to excess of work." his face showed a sense of relief and calmness. My mouth parted for a second taking in what he said. "Okay," I retorted back with a huff. It was very obvious but I would never admit that he sounded concerned. "I'm going back to my office." I didn't want to have this conversation with him again."Hey! The conversation isn't over." He said in the distance, trying to catch up to me. I glare at him when he put a hand on my shoulder."Okay okay. I won't touch you. But you should at least take a break from work and let Ana take care of you. You shouldn't make her worry a

(Anastasia's POV)We just came back to our mansion this early morning, Caleb told me that I can start working at his company today. I stayed focused to get ready for work. Walking down the stairs, I looked around trying to find Caleb. A couple of seconds later, he appears from the door with two umbrellas in his hand."Ana, let's go, it is raining heavily outside." He said while handing me an umbrella."Thank you" We got in his expensive car, partly wet."Would you like to stop by the restaurant for breakfast?" He questioned. My brows furrowed wondering how he knew I'm hungry. My eyes practically bulged out as he stopped the car in front of Giovanni's. Too much just for breakfast. Caleb got off the car. He came back with a small box on his left handWhile driving our way, we eat our food in the backseat."We're here." The voice snapped me out of my daze as I looked up. I put the remainder of my food in a separate bag for lunch and then unbuckled my seat."Wait for me in the lobby," h

(Caleb's POV)As she walked out of the office, my eyes follow behind her. I don't say a word yet to continue off like usual. Hearing the elevator door closing, I suddenly move and grab my phone, dialing a number, which gets answered immediately."Yes, Mr. Carter?""I want you to follow Anastasia. See what she is doing and keep me updated""Right away." The person on the other end said before hanging up. Anastasia, you don't know what you got yourself into.***After a couple of minutes, my phone rang."Mr. Carter." "What happened?" I questioned getting straight to the point."It seems that Mrs. Carter is currently talking with your brother, Byron. They are having a meeting at the cafe near your company." my jaw clenched. "Anastasia, you're testing my patience?" I muttered to myself."Boss, I sent some photos." He says finally snapping me out of my daze.I hurriedly opened the laptop and looked through some of the photos. As I stared at them, I couldn't help but felt a sudden rage in
HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE Chapter 26
(Caleb's POV)She hasn't talked to me since that day. I don't think I even saw her these days. I am beginning to feel restless, which was not helping my work progress. Furthermore, I was interrupted by a knock on the door."Come in," The door opens and Lucas from the security analysis department comes in, which was one of the members of Ana's department."Mr. Carter. I was sent here for the updates." He says. I looked up at him and didn't say anything for a good second. "I want you to go back to Ms. Anastasia and told her to come with the reports. That is her job." I order it coldly as he stares with a look of surprise. Nodding his head, he walked out of my office.A couple of minutes later, I could hear two people right behind my door, arguing. It didn't take a long time to recognize those two voices as Lucas and Ana. The quarrel went on for a couple of minutes until a knock resounded on the door."Come in," The door opens slowly. I didn't bother to lift my head as my focus is on t
