Imogen

There were so many questions I wanted to ask Mrs. Rachel.

Questions about Malcolm.

Questions about the man she had worked alongside for years.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Instead, I took a slow breath and smiled at her.

"Thank you for worrying about me, Mrs. Rachel."

As I spoke, I gently reached for her hand.

She smiled faintly before nodding.

"I think I overstepped a little."

I chuckled and shook my head.

"You have no idea how happy I am that someone cared enough

  • The Billionaire's Unknowing Wife   Overwhelmed.

    ImogenHis hand slid to the back of my head as he kissed me again, drawing me closer. My hands instinctively rested against his chest to steady myself because, for some reason, my knees had suddenly become weak.His familiar scent surrounded me, and in that moment I realized just how dangerous this was becoming.I found myself wanting to be closer to him.Wanting him to hold me a little longer.To touch me a little more.His free hand slowly moved from the small of my back until it rested on my hip before drifting lower to my backside. It was the first time he had ever crossed that boundary, and when his hand gently squeezed, a shiver ran through me.He slowly broke the kiss and trailed soft kisses along my jaw.My breathing had already become uneven, my eyes fluttering shut as I surrendered to the warmth of his touch."I love those little sounds you make," he murmured.My eyes snapped open.Only then did I realize I had been letting out soft, unconscious moans."And I'm about to burs

  • The Billionaire's Unknowing Wife   I Want To Be Intimate With You.

    Imogen"Why are you so shameless?" I asked after I had finally calmed down.All he did was chuckle."But seriously, I wasn't expecting you to call me first."I bit my lower lip."I wasn't going to. I had just finished speaking with my father when I accidentally called you."His end went quiet for a moment before he spoke again."I thought he disowned you."I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me."He did. I had his number blocked, but he called me with another number. He was about to say something about Harmon Evans before I ended the call."I really didn't want to think about those people anymore.Couldn't they all just disappear from my life?Was that too much to ask?"Are you at home?" Malcolm suddenly asked.I frowned."Yes... why?"The next thing he said made me sit up straighter."I'm coming over. It's your fault for calling me when I was already thinking about you."My eyes widened."Coming over to do what? Don't come."I was instantly on high alert."Too late. I'm alrea

  • The Billionaire's Unknowing Wife   An Unknown Number.

    ImogenI didn't even realize when I cried myself to sleep.The loud alarm from my phone was what finally woke me.Still half-asleep, I sat up, reached for my phone, and turned it off before flopping right back onto the bed.It was Sunday.There was nowhere I needed to rush to.So I closed my eyes again and drifted back to sleep.I didn't know how long I slept but the ringing of my phone startled me awake.Before even looking at the screen, I was already convinced it was Malcolm calling.But when I picked up my phone, the name displayed made the sleep vanish from my face.Madam Evelyn.I quickly sat upright and answered the call, bringing the phone to my ear."Good afternoon, my daughter-in-law," she greeted cheerfully.My eyes widened.Wait, don't tell me it was already afternoon.Right on cue, my stomach growled."Good afternoon, Madam Evelyn. How are you?" I asked, absentmindedly running my fingers through my messy hair."Nonsense," she scolded immediately. "It's Grandmother to you.

  • The Billionaire's Unknowing Wife   Her Past.

    ImogenEventually, the dinner came to an end, and nothing else happened.I just hoped Malcolm didn't leave thinking I was incapable of loving someone.But, tonight made me realize something.I truly didn't know what love was.Maybe from now on, I would try.I would try to learn what it meant...And perhaps, somewhere along the way, I would learn how to love him too.The moment I got home, I threw myself onto my bed and stared up at the ceiling.I had told Malcolm so much about my private life tonight.Thinking about it now, I realized just how much I trusted him.A small smile slowly found its way onto my lips.Honestly, if he had pushed me a little harder earlier, I might have actually agreed to his ridiculous compensation.The thought made me chuckle to myself.Then the smile gradually disappeared.What Malcolm told me about my mother refused to leave my mind.Harmon Evans...If he was Madam Evelyn's old business associate, then he was obviously a wealthy and influential man.I sat

  • The Billionaire's Unknowing Wife   Do You Love Me?

    ImogenNow, let's go back to why I almost screamed."I've already thought of the perfect way to compensate you," he said, and I immediately raised a brow.Somehow, I already had a feeling whatever was about to come out of his mouth would be complete nonsense."By sleeping with you," he said without the slightest hesitation. "No wonder you seem like a woman who's starved for sex."I simply stared at him.Honestly, what exactly was I expecting from Malcolm Grayson?It wasn't just what he said that made my skin prickle.It was how casually he said it, as though suggesting something as outrageous as that was perfectly normal.Heat instantly rushed to my face, leaving me caught between embarrassment and annoyance."That hardly sounds like compensation for me," I shot back. "If anything, you're the one benefiting from it."Instead of feeling ashamed he laughed.He actually had the audacity to laugh.Seriously, if I could slap him just once without consequences, I probably would."Says who?"

  • The Billionaire's Unknowing Wife   Compensation.

    Imogen"'Ouch?'"I decided to pretend I had no idea why he had reacted that way."You wanted me to have past lovers?" I asked, watching him carefully.His brows immediately drew together."Wouldn't that have been better?" he replied.The answer caught me off guard, and a chuckle escaped my lips.Then again, thinking back to the period between the day I started working for him and the day we discovered we were already married, I couldn't remember ever seeing him with another woman.Which was rather surprising for someone the magazines constantly labeled a playboy."Maybe then I wouldn't feel the way I do now," he admitted, rubbing his forehead in frustration.That only made it harder for me to hold back my laughter."You feel that bad about it?" I asked, tilting my head slightly. "Why?"He narrowed his eyes at me."You seem to be enjoying this a little too much."Well, my expression must have betrayed me because I couldn't hold it in anymore.I burst into laughter."It's not exactly so

    ImogenI had always dreamed of marrying the man I truly loved someday, but I guess those were nothing more than childish fantasies because real life was far crueler than the fairytales I created inside my head.I still could not believe I was about to marry someone I did not love, all because of th
