HIS CONTRACT MARRIAGE. (Contract Marriage Series Book 1 Part One) |Completed|✔️

BILLIONAIRE HIDDEN WIFE 17

A few days have passed since their return from Williams Island. Ethan has been very busy since they got back. Eli has also returned to school, and Emma has fully assumed responsibility for running the household.

It was Friday morning. Emma thought she had done nothing at home but read, swim, eat, and sleep. She rarely sees Ethan as well. He either arrives late or leaves early.

To make herself useful. She decided to prepare dinner for everyone.

Recently, after moving in with Ethan. She noticed that they had been eating beef-related meals. She had a craving for chicken and seafood. 

She got ready and decided to go grocery shopping. Since it was summer. To feel the breeze, she wore white slim-fit jeans and a yellow off-the-shoulder top. She completes the look with a pair of white strapless shoes, her Chanel wallet, and sunglasses.

She walked down the stairs and asked Roselina to get the car ready for her shopping trip.

Albert came inside and told her that he was ready. Albert is one of Ethan's bodyguards. He is permanently assigned to Emma.

"Mrs Williams. The car is ready ma'am." He told her.

"Alright, Albert. Shall we? "

"Yes ma'am,"

He left before her, opening the back seat door for her. She climbed into the car. Albert shut the door and walked around the luxurious van. He got inside and drove away.

"Ma'am, where are you going?" Albert asked

"Albert, I am just shopping for groceries. Nothing much." She replied

"Ok, ma'am,"

Unknown to them. Some paparazzi were hiding around to get a good shot of Ethan, but they got lucky because they had just discovered a new lead.

Albert drove to one of the city's biggest shopping malls. He arrived at the parking lot. He got out of the car and opened the door for Emma. She stepped out of the car. Albert trailed behind her.

They took the escalator to the top floor, where the superstores were located. Unknown to Emma and Albert. The paparazzi who followed them from the mansion to the mall were taking various pictures of Emma. Some of them gained entry into the supermarket and captured a clear image of her while shopping.

Albert was able to identify one of the paparazzi and destroyed his camera. Unbeknownst to them, her photos had already been trending on the internet.

It was captioned, "The billionaire's hidden wife is finally spotted in a mall."

The news was gaining popularity quickly. People were staring and taking pictures of Emma, who was busy shopping, oblivious to things happening around her.

Ethan was in a meeting with some business partners from various parts of the world. Most of them were taken aback by the ongoing news when their PAs showed them the latest trending hashtag.

Liam walked into the conference room and whispered in Ethan's ear about current events. He gave a nod and a smile. The sudden news altered the atmosphere of the meeting. One of the executives congratulated him first, followed by the others.

"Congratulations, Mr Williams; I did not realize you were married."

"Thank you, Mr Farrel."  He replied.

One of the gentlemen who was still talking while looking at Emma's pictures spoke.

"Your wife is stunning, Mr. Williams."

"Thank you, Mr Tega. I get that a lot,"

In Ethan's office. He took out his phone and scrolled through Emma's trending photos on social media. He smiled while still reading the comments.

Liam entered his office with a sad expression. "We need to take it down," Liam said.

"And why is that? " Ethan inquired as his gaze remained fixed on his phone screen.

"In no time, the entire world will know she is your wife." And you and I both understand that it is all a ruse. This marriage was a sham." Liam showed his concern by crossing his arms across his chest.

Ethan stood up and walked towards Liam. He stood in front of him, both hands tucked into his pockets. He looked right into Liam's eyes. And gave him an unpleasant expression. "What did you just say?" He asked

"I was simply reminding you that your marriage to Emma is a sham. That's all."

"That is where you went wrong. Emma and I are married legally. We also love each other. It might be a contract marriage in the beginning. But now. The situation has changed. So you better be careful what you say out there. Because if any of these hurts my woman. I will hold you responsible, Liam." Ethan warned

"Are you even listening to yourself?" Seriously?  Does she feel the same about you? You barely know this woman. I know she is pretty, and that can be confusing..."

"Confuse?" He scoffed.  "I am not confused, Liam. I know what I want. And I know how I feel. For the first time in my life, I finally found someone I truly love. And you dare say I am confused."

"This woman was once married. And she has a seven-year-old daughter. Open your eyes, friend,"

"She has never been married, Liam. She was a fucking virgin."

"What did you say?" Liam was shocked.

"You heard me. Emma was a virgin until our trip to that fucking Island. I took her innocence. Elisabeth is not her daughter. There is more you don't know about her Liam. And even if she was still Elisabeth's mom. That still wouldn't have changed anything."

Liam sat on a double-seater sofa with his two elbows on his lap shocked at what Ethan had just told him.

"I remember you once told me you wish that you were blessed with a virgin as your wife." Liam's tone changed as he chuckled.

Ethan sat across from him with his legs crossed. "You remember right? "

"Yes, I still remember. Shit! He answered your prayer man. Your wife is a fucking virgin? "

"Was. Yes."

"Congratulations buddy. You did it."

"I did it. And it feels good. And I am proud of myself."

The two friends hugged each other and Liam was happy for Ethan.

Emma got back. The servants came to welcome her and they carried in the groceries.

Still unknown to her that she is trending on social media. Her phone rang. She opened her wallet as she walked inside the sitting area in the mansion. She brought out her phone. She checked the caller and it was her friend Genna.

"Hey bestie," Emma greeted.

"Did you see the trending posts? The trending #?" Genna asked

"What! No. Tell me, what's going on? "

"Your pictures are all over the social media. Your marriage is trending Emma.?

"What? How? I will call you back."

She cut the call. And went online.  She saw pictures of her and the captions. She was shocked and couldn't believe that the pictures were taken today during her shopping.
