Married To My Billionaire Secret Admirer

Another Dead End

Heading to work with Princeton, the tension in the car becomes unbearable making me wish we arrive there sooner. Once the car stops, I reach for the door about to open it when Princeton stops me.

“ Let me do it." Princeton said reaching for my hand.

Staying still as he helps me open the door, I can't help but remember the good old days when we used to be together. Was this another one of his plans? I knew Prince to be very cunning and ambitious at times. He was the type of person who was ready to do anything to get what he wanted.

“ This is Alexa. She will be my personal assistant and will be working under me from now on. I hope that all of you can get along. Right now we need all the help. We can get and Alexa is really smart.” Princeton said smiling as he introduced me.

He knew exactly what he was doing. Since his grandmother had already warned me about revealing my identity, I couldn't clear things up and reveal that I was just his sister-in-law. But it was okay. Even if I didn't do it, Victoria would not sit back for too long and allow Prince to continue misbehaving.

“Nice to meet you all, I am Alexa Howell.” I said smiling brightly as I faced my coworkers.

After a few minutes, all of us get back to work doing our own things. Being Prince's secretary was harder than I expected especially since I had to follow him wherever he went. Watching him talk in front of the employees, I can't help but remember Kingston. He was with our son right now and I had not gotten the time to talk to him throughout today. We were all working in the same company but it was like it was divided into two. Princeton's and Kingston's.

“Excuse me sir, your wife is here." One of the employees said opening the door which catches our attention.

I was right. Victoria was certainly feeling uneasy since I was now going to be by her husband's side every single day.

“ It's hard to believe that our two handsome princes are now married. This is the first time I am seeing his wife. She is so beautiful.” One of the female employees said talking about Victoria as we gathered to have lunch in the cafeteria while Prince dealt with his wife.

“Who do you think married our charming bad boy? Her face wasn't shown because apparently she wants to live a quiet life. Isn't that sad?” Another female employee asked pouting cutely as she looked at the rest of us.

“ She must be extremely ugly. That's the only reason why she wouldn't dare to show her face. Not to mention that she jumped from one brother to the next. If I was the one, I would also feel too ashamed to be seen outside.” Kingston's secretary said walking up to our table.

Glaring at her, I can clearly tell that she is looking for trouble. I had come with King once to the office. How could she not know my face? Besides, she wasn't the secretary that I was familiar with. King had two secretaries. One that he used for his personal activities and the one that he used at his office. Isabella. That was her name.

“Bella, you are right. Such a shameless woman has no reason to show her face to the world. However, I am extremely grateful that she now has her claws stuck in Kingston. You all don't know how rebellious he is. I hope she is able to tame him. So he doesn't have to return back with his ex girlfriend, Kathleen. You know the way he is.” Victoria said glaring at me.

“Excuse me, I have to use the restroom." I said standing up to leave the both of them.

It was obvious that she was trying to provoke me.

Returning back from the bathroom, I head to the elevator about to go upstairs when I spot Kingston in the elevator as it opens. He was with Isabella and I could tell that they were about to head out together. Not wanting to make things awkward between us, I enter the elevator without sparing him a glance. If he knew that his lovely secretary had disrespected me before, would he sit still? Certainly not. I didn't want his mother coming at me later on.

“ Sir, we have already reached the floor.” Isabella said trying to get Kingston to get off the elevator.

“I just remembered that I forgot something at the office. You should head to the car first." Kingston said smiling at me as he spoke to Isabella.

“In that case, I should be the one to go and get it." Isabella said refusing to leave.

Not wanting to push it any further, Kingston drops the issue allowing her to head back upstairs with us. Whike we are in the elevator, he reaches for my hand trying to hold it but I refuse. Maybe it was because a part of me was jealous. I really wanted to deal with his saucy secretary.

“ Are you the new secretary working for my brother? How was your first day?" King asked making me turn my gaze away.

I didn't want to get familiar with him at work.

“ The VP is asking you a question. How dare you be so rude? Do you want to get fired?” Isabella asked ranting immediately after she sees an opportunity to do so.

“ Why are you getting angry on my behalf? I wasn't talking to you. Stop here. Get off. I will go and get the documents myself." King said as he pressed the button stopping the elevator.

“ But sir, I-" Isabella said stammering.

" Get off.” King demanded staring at her.

Having no other option but to obey, Isabella gets off the elevator leaving Kingston and I alone. Finally, shs was gone.

“Don't worry. I will take care of her later." King said grabbing my hand once again.

I wanted to remind him of our agreement. That our marriage was nothing but a contract agreement. But I couldn't. Something in me was also giving into this beautiful fantasy of a dream.

" Don't fire her. I heard your mother was the one that gave her to you." I said attempting to remove my hand from his once more.

"That doesn't mean I can't fire her. How was your first day? Did Prince make things hard for you?” King asked tightening his hold on my hand.

“ What exactly are you doing? King, you should know that we are not really married. We are not even friends. Stop acting so nice to me." I said turning my gaze away.

Rebelling against my sudden coldness towards him, Kingston pushes me back against the elevator wall forcing me to look at him. He was getting too fond of doing this.

“ Does that mean I cannot ask how your day is? Because our marriage is a contract agreement, I can't be nice to you? You are still my wife." King said staring at me.

" Only for 3 years. 3 years will pass by so quickly that we won't even see it coming. Do as you promised. You must let me go after 3 years.” I said looking into his eyes.

Letting go of my hand, Kingston turns his back on me pressing something on the elevator. I could tell that he wasn't happy with what I had just said but I didn't care. It was better that he realized the truth so that he didn't get his hopes up.

"What a surprise. I was going to see you upstairs." Kathleen said catching us off guard after the elevator opened.

“ Let's go. You can tell me whatever you want to on my way to the car." Kingston said getting off the elevator without sparing me a single glance.

By the time I arrive home after work, I realize that Kingston isn't yet back. He was obviously don't this to make me jealous. I didn't have to care about him cheating on me or not since I didn't like him.

“Who is that?" I asked getting off my bed after hearing someone knock on the door.

Opening the door, my eyes widen as I realize that it's Kingston's mother. Instantly, I regret opening the door but it's not like I could close the door back at her.

“ Is there a problem?” I asked smiling at her.

“ Is there a problem? Where is your husband? He isn't back from work and you are not even worried. What kind of a wife are you?” Kingston's mother asked.

“Maybe he has some documents to take care of at the office. He is a grown man and- ” I said stunned as Kingston's mother slaps me hard across my face.

“ You golddigger! You don't care because you think that this is going to be beneficial to you and your son. If something happens to Kingston, you think you're going to inherit something, right? Over my dead body.” Kingston's mother said angrily.

“ It's my fortune. Why can't I do with it as I want?" A voice asked gaining our attention immediately.

Looking back, I watch as King walks up to us taking my hand once again as he stands in front of his mother.

“ Kingston, are you okay? Why are you drunk?" Kingston's mother asked making me scoff at her before looking away.

“ I am so sorry to have made you worried. I had a business meeting with some of our clients at the club. I will talk to you tomorrow. If you don't mind, I have to sleep." King said making his mother leave.

Once the door is closed, I remove my hand from his watching as he staggers to sit down on the bed. He was really beyond drunk at this point.

“ Who did you drink with? Never mind that. Did you have to really make your mother slap me? Why didn't you come home straight from work?" I asked angrily watching as Kingston rolls his eyes at me before climbing into bed.

It was his way of reminding me I wasn't supposed to tell him what to do. Scoffing at his attitude, I walk over to help him remove his shoes. He was right. I didn't have any right to question him after what happened at the elevator today. Hearing another knock on the door, my body tenses up at the thought that it could be his mother again. I didn't want to have to deal with her again.

“ Ma'am, something is wrong with Shawn. He isn't breathing." The nanny said making me gasp.

"What did you say?" I asked stunned as I opened the door.
