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.

Mike could barely sleep; his hand was on Amelia's waist as she slept. Her chest heaved up and down slowly. He thought of what Steve had said about putting himself in danger. He didn't want to, but it seemed impossible not to be in danger where these people were involved.

Unless he was ready to overlook the past and present, which he wouldn't do. It would be dangerous to the future generation, and he would be damn before allowing such a thing to happen when he could have prevented it. 

His child was also part of that future generation, and he's doing this for them.

Instead of sleeping, he picked up his laptop and got to work, trying to seal some deals he should have if not for his busy schedule. He was so focused on it that he didn't see Amelia wake up until she spoke.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

He faced her with all traces of worry gone from his eyes.

"Wifey. I'm just trying to close some deals. Go to bed."
