The Billionaire's Hidden Son

Fake marriage

Chapter 3

Going deeper inside the bathroom, I was welcomed with my wife having sex with one of their company’s shareholders.

I can’t describe how I felt, but I started having a stuffy feeling in my chest and I found it hard to breathe… My breath became ragged.

It's a fake marriage, I know that, but we had an agreement, and it was clearly written in the contract that during the period of our fake marriage none of us was allowed to sleep with other people.

I have always abide by the contract’s rules, and this is how she repays me? By cheating on me? How could she do this? How dare she?

“What the fûck!!!” I wanted to roar, making sure the betrayal and anger I’m feeling none to them, but my voice failed me and it the words came out in a whisper.

But Susan heard me. She snapped her head towards me with a deep frown, but didn’t stop riding her cheating partner.

“How the fûck did you get here? What are you doing here?” Susan barked in rage.

Her reaction surprised me to the core, like she was caught doing a shameful act, and it’s expected she should be feeling guilty, but she’s obviously not.

I don’t know what came over me, her reaction seemed to have ignited a fire in me and I acted without my brain.

I grabbed Susan’s shoulder, roughly pulled her away from her partner in crime and took him unaware, landing a few, but hard punches on his face randomly without giving a fûck where my fist landed.

Susan couldn’t stand by and watch me beat up her partner, she quickly jumped in front of my fist when I was about landing another punch on the motherfûcker, and I stopped abruptly.

I clenched my jaws and fist as I tried to contain my anger.

“Explain this” I pointed between them. “Because I don’t bloody understand what the heck you’re happened here,” I gritted out breathlessly.

Instead of giving me the explanation that I demanded, she burst into a fit of laughter, as if I just did something amusing. How could she find this situation amusing?

“Why are you laughing?” I asked.

“You’ve become so bold” she said.

I suddenly felt a hot, stinging sensation pierced my face, and that’s when I realized I’ve been slapped.

The pain was immediate and intense, and I quickly held my cheek as I recoiled in shock. Did she just slap me because of another man?

Yes, I’m not her real husband, she doesn’t love me, but I’m lawfully recognized as her husband and that should accord me some respect.

“You think you can question my actions now, simply because we are married?” Her tone was filled with venom; I could sense her anger growing.

“You told me nobody can stop us” the man suddenly spoke up. “Now this good for nothing husband of yours didn’t allow me to ejaculate, I am so disappointed in you, Susan”

He was giving me a threatening glare as he spoke.

“I don’t know why you can’t keep this useless husband that you bought in check because what’s the meaning of this?” he asked, giving me a disgusted look, with each of his words cutting deep.

As the man spoke, his words were filled with disappointment and anger, his voice dripping with venom. I can bear my in-laws and wife calling me names, but now outsiders are starting to follow the lead?

I felt like punching the man again, I wanted to punch him to death. However, I knew I needed to stay calm and think rationally.

“I am deeply sorry, my love. I never knew he had become this bold. Please forgive me,” Susan apologized.

Her previous angered expression morphed into a seductive smile. I couldn’t understand how she was able to switch emotions so quickly.

“Why are you still keeping this man? You don’t even love him, right?”

I couldn’t help but wonder if he knew our marriage was fake.

“No” she answered quickly. “I don’t love him, not at all. How can I love this?”

This? I’m just this to her?

“I married him when I was desperate for a husband” she said.

He frowned as he waited for her to elaborate on her words.

“You know, five years ago during the board meeting my dad talked about making me the president of the company, but many shareholders were against him because I wasn’t married yet, they said I’m still not matured to be in the president’s seat”

He nodded as an encouragement to continue.

“They made me promise to get married within a year, before I could become the president” she paused and glared at me disgustingly. “And that’s how I ended up with this nuisance” she explained.

Nuisance. My heart twigged when she called me a nuisance.

Her partner sighed, he pulled her into a hug and planted a kiss on her lips.

“You didn’t tell me about this five years ago, I’d have married you” he told her.

“They wouldn’t have agreed to our union, they’d think we had a hidden agenda” she replied.

Did they forget I’m still here? Or have I become invisible?

“Well, they can’t say anything now. Divorce him and let’s get married” his impatience was evident in his tone as he said this.

Susan’s response was hesitant, revealing the complexities of their situation.

“Yeah, I know you’re ready to marry me and I don’t love him a bit, but I can’t divorce him that easily, you know who my father is. He will never allow that because he doesn’t know our marriage is a contract marriage.”

Albert moved away from her and walked closer to me, with a mischievous smirk on his lips.

Then the situation took a dark turn, as Albert suggested a chilling and eerie course of action.

“Should we just kill him? I am very sure it will be effortless to remarry when he’s dead,” he said, looking around the room frantically.

His eyes landed on an object in a corner, which he was happy about, and quickly snatched it.

Unexpectedly, I reacted too slowly, and he successfully landed the object on my head with great force. It happened so fast that I didn’t see what the object was, but I know that it’s metal.

Susan came to my side and I thought she wanted to check on me, but I was wrong. Her next words shocked me.

“No, babe. I know what to do,” she said, moving closer and dragging me up by my ear and began dragging me out of the room.

I wanted to do something, but I couldn’t risk the money I had worked for over the past five years.

I knew better than to talk back to Susan.

“Where are we taking him to?” her partner asked.

“Just follow me” she replied, and dragged me down a quiet hallway… I guess we’re going outside, and she intends to use the back door.

As they arrived at the car, Susan kicked me in the stomach, causing me to double over in pain.

“How dare you barge in on me? What gave you the right to do that? Who the hell do you think you are? You made my baby angry,” her face was red with anger, her eyes narrowing into slits.

“But it was written in the contract not to cheat on each other,” I managed to say, and she burst into laughter.

“Did you think the contract is for me to abide? No, it’s for you, I am the one paying you here, I can do whatever I want, but you can’t” her voice boomed through the garage, each word sharp with fury and I clinched my fist angrily.

“What are you trying to do? Are you trying to show me, you’re man enough” she said, and I felt the searing heat of her hand on my cheek, my head jerking to the side with the force of the blow?

“Let’s just divorce, I am not interested In this marriage anymore,” I stated, my voice strained with emotion.

It's better I end this marriage of a thing before I fall in love with this bitch here with a scowl on her face.

“Divorce? How dare you say that word easily?” her nails digging into her purse, her eyes flashing with anger.

“We aren’t divorcing until I am tired, you don’t tell me what to do, unless you don’t need your money, don’t try to behave like you have a say I am the boss here” she says leaning back in on the car, crossing her arms in defiance and I scoffed,

“I don’t need your money anymore, I am ready to start over again, without penny, I am ready to leave this slave life.” I yelled, my heart racing with the thrill of the unknown, my hands shaking with excitement for a new life.
