The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 37 : When Two Cheaters Meet
YESTERDAY “Daniel, once you drop me off at the penthouse, can you please do something for me?”Victoria looked up at her bodyguard expectantly. The man’s expression didn’t shift even for the tiniest fraction. “I’m at your service, ma'am.”Victoria observed the man for a moment. Ryder had told her Daniel was his most trusted man. So she decided to directly lay out what she was thinking.“Rita, my husband’s sister was here. I think she’s still inside. I want you to follow her throughout today, and watch where she goes. If you see her doing anything that is...” She paused to find the right words. “...unproblematic, I need you to capture it on video. Or even photos.”Daniel, although unsure of what she was insinuating, nodded, ready to carry out orders. “Yes ma’am.”Victoria first went Julie’s place — her old apartment — while Daniel went out to follow Rita. She sat on the couch with folded arms, while she thought over her hunch. When she had run into Rita in the store, the wom

“You left me alone with our son!”The moment the woman screamed this, Rita sprung out of her seat. The chair scraped against the floor, resounding in the silent hall. “What did you say?” She bellowed.The woman was unmoved by the menace in her voice, and continued to ignore her, eyes on Arthur.“You told me you divorced your wife! That she was unbearable!”“Shut up!” Arthur’s body locked up with both rage and fear. “You’re a liar! I’ve never met either of you!”“Really?” The redhead woman seared forward. “Oh, but I have proof! I have several of our sex tapes!”Arthur’s face blanched, as he staggered, clutching the tablecloth for balance.“Ack!”Rather than steadying himself, he yanked the cloth with all his weight.Plates, glasses and half-finished cups of coffee crashed onto the marble floor. The floral centrepiece toppled over, scattering roses across the floor.With a startled cry, Arthur crashed flat onto his back. All the food came toppling on him, staining him from h
The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 35 : Don't Know Who They Are
This time, Victoria couldn’t stop Ryder from stepping forward, shielding her from his father. “I found someone I wanted.” Ryder snapped, his tone filled with warning. “That’s generally how marriage works.”“Don’t be clever with me.” Rocco replied. “Then don’t insult my wife in the building I own.”Victoria was taken aback by how protective he sounded. It sounded like he was seconds away from calling his bodyguards to send them away. She realised, he had to act like this to play his role well. The hall around them went briefly still. The guests who were seated, all watched the father and son with total interest, like they were breakfasts entertainment. Rocco straightened his jacket. “I’m not insulting anyone. I’m asking reasonable questions about a woman who has appeared in my son’s life overnight and is now wearing the Lake name.”“You’re overstepping.” Ryder sneered.Rita, who had been listening from three feet away, stepped forward pretending to be some sort of peacema
The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 34 : Mess With Her Plan
The next day, Victoria was at an event centre owned by Tecna, and holding a breakfast meeting. She was using the guise of a simple introduction to the Lake family. Last night, she had sent out sudden invites to the Lake family, close relatives and associates. Ryder had helped her with that part. But the rest of her grand plan she wanted to execute? Ryder was in the dark.This, Ryder didn’t like at all. Being out of the loop felt unpleasant. “You’re still not going to tell me what you're going to do here?” He asked Victoria for the umpteenth time. “Nope.” She responded, keeping the brilliant smile she used to usher guests in. She was adamant on him watching the show without knowing beforehand.White tablecloths were spread. Fresh flowers all around. Breakfast was served across three long tables. Staff moved between them with coffee pots and juice pitchers.Victoria stood at the entrance and surveyed it all. She smoothed the front of her dress, came close to Ryder and whispe

Like he had been stung, Ryder suddenly moved away from her. Victoria almost stumbled, but was able to regain her balance. She shuffled awkwardly, and said the first thing that came to her mind.“I bought things. For the events. Like you said.” She practically pushed the items into his face.Ryder stepped away. “I see the bags, Victoria.”“There are also some things for you. In one of them. The shirts. I saw some that I thought—” She took a deep breath, trying to calm down her rambling. Ryder said nothing and gave her the space to recollect herself. He turned and walked to the living room.She set the bags down near the couch, took off her heels, and followed."Where were you?" She asked."Busy." He said gruffly, before he dropped into the armchair and reached for his laptop.Victoria was surprised by his cold tone. ‘Busy wasn’t an answer to her question. She felt the urge to point that out, but willed herself to be silent. It wasn’t in her place to push for such answers.
The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 32 : Money Hungry Snake
Rita assessed Victoria like she was an interesting display of art. But the look was filled with condescension, rather than admiration. Victoria could quickly tell the type of person Rita was. Arrogant, selfish and an entitled manipulator. Thankfully, she had health greatly with her kind. Within a second, she smoothed out her face into aloofness.“And, you are?” She said, knowing that pretending like she didn’t know who Rita was, would bruise her ego.As expected, the woman’s mouth turned down into a frown. She tried to mask her displeasure by chuckling. “I forgot my brother rushed into your marriage like both of you had something to hide. But I’m Rita, Ryder’s sister.”Perhaps she expected Victoria to stare at her in shock. Maybe even flip her behaviour and begin to chatter. Anything asides from Victoria shaking her head at her in disapproval.“Oh? I’d say it’s a pleasure to meet you but I’d be lying.” Victoria said as she folded her arms. There was no need to play nice wi
