Billionaire's wife by Ashleh Queen (free ebook novel TXT) 📗

I had my thoughts tainted with many ifs. But I was sure that I won’t have such a crisis. I knew how to take control of my life, emotions and actions. And, even if I ever tried to find my peace that would be getting into politics or building castles. Not a woman or a child. Only weak people wanted a family. I, on the other side, knew that no one besides me can be loyal to me. And, not to forget that no woman can ever say yes to me, knowing my living style. And, even if someone agrees it will be for my status or money. My wife sure was a gold digger but if she knew what she was getting into marrying me she sure would have rejected my proposal.

I walked inside the home thinking about my uncle but got my feet slow finding Mrs Hashimi talking to Julie in the living room. Mrs Hashimi was quick to look at me while Julie followed afterwards. But what got my attention most was Julie’s smile that didn’t fade looking at me. Her right wrist having a bracelet and diamond earrings impressed me. She remembered my command from the last time.

“Hello, Mr Lucca. I was around and couldn’t help coming to say hello,” Both women stood while I walked to my wife. I smiled and held Julie's waist replying. “It’s a pleasure.”

“Honey, she brought us this.” I was stunned for a second finding a voice I never get to hear before. I hardly looked at the porcelain vase Julie was pointing to before looking at Mrs Hashimi.

“Where is Mr Hashimi?” A man in the suit that I don’t recognize was standing at some distance. I believe he was here to assist Mrs Hashimi.

“He was busy you know, so, I thought I can catch up with her?” Mrs Hashimi explained and I hardly tried to control my surprise when I felt Julie's hand coming to rest on my abs.

I was quick to say, “Sure…anytime,...honey, why don’t you go and see how it’s going with the dinner. Mrs Hashimi must be starving.”

“No, I will leave now. Can’t afford to disturb a new couple?” Her smile told me Julie hasn’t told her anything. We bid our farewell to Mrs Hashimi.

My hand was resting on her waist but I still pulled her in to look at her face and got my eyes widened finding a smile there.

“She has gone,” I told Julie so she could quit.

“How was your day?” Was I hearing things?

“And, why do you think you can question me you low being.” My voice was low but I put emphasis on the last two words.

“Ok, lord Matteo,…” Her right hand came to rest on my waist.  “…I won’t ask anything ok?”

“What are you playing?” I asked bewildered but saw her holding the right corner of her lower lip in.

“Nothing…but I want to say something.” I only got my eyes narrowed and nodded before getting my ear a little titled to her mouth as I stare at a beautiful red painting ahead.

“I think…I think I have fallen for you.”

Hey, I hope all of you are doing great,

I am waiting for your comments.
