Billionaire's Secret Wife

Amelia was a secret from birth because she was illegal; she was not included in the family book and was home-schooled all her life. When it was time to get married, her father wanted her to remain a secret from the world. She had promised herself that she was going to take charge of one thing in her life – her marriage. Regardless of how her life had been controlled so far by her father and stepmother, they won’t pick her husband for her. So, when her father had arranged a marriage for her with her friend’s son – one they have never seen, he lived abroad all his life. Again, they wanted a secret marriage. Amelia swore to run away before the marriage. Would she succeed? Mike cared nothing about marriage. But, when it was time to inherit his family business, his father made marriage to his friend’s daughter compulsory. He was ready to obey, so he could disobey later. He would get married to her, inherit his legal property, and divorce the wife – finally gaining his freedom back. But when he saw Amelia, all his plans changed.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

The room was so silent that a drop of pins could be heard, Mike sat beside Amelia. The only member of the family absent was Sharon. She wasn't summoned to the meeting by their parents. Mike's eyes moved from his father who sat on his favorite chair like the king of the world, to his mother who sat opposite them. The reason they were summoned was unknown to them both, but they had woken up this morning to a call from one of the maids.

"Good to have you both here. Amelia, welcome to the family."

Amelia nodded but didn't say a word. Mike had no idea if she was afraid or nervous, but he knew he was nervous. Every time his parent called him into the study, it had always been to discuss something important. His hand moved towards Amelia's until he found it. He held her hand where his parents wouldn't see it and squeezed it. He was expecting her to fight him, but she squeezed his hand back, which gave him a bit of assurance.
