Billionaire's Rebellious Bride - S01 E18

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

"I need more tea."

Adonis' POV

So, this is her talent.

I felt elated knowing this information about Elena. She always kept her personal life a close book. Small information like this, became vital.

I turned the pages of her sketchbook, studying the designs. I was not very familiar with the female fashion and clothing, but I could see that she had the talent. I was quite impressed and proud of her.

I knew there was something more about Elena. She might have projected as a spoiled brat billionaire heiress that all she cared about was shopping, but I knew, deep inside that facade, she was a determined, strong and confident woman who knew what she wanted in life.

My attraction for her intensified knowing that she was not only beautiful outside, but a talented woman. I could not help but anticipate what else I would discover about her. She was like a mystery book, every day was like a page that I'd turn to unveil her true identity.

Yeah, she intrigued me, making me so hooked on her. It was something that I never felt with any woman ever before. The urge to get to know more about her was unstoppable.

Slowly, I was taking it one day at a time with Elena. Because I believed, patience is a virtue, not to be forced, so the outcome would be more fulfilling.

I could have asked my private investigator to gather information about her, but I would not. She was not just any woman, she was my wife. I would not be pleased if the situation was reversed. I chose to get to know her more as days passed by. Nothing to hurry, we have our lifetime to do that. Besides, it would save us from getting bored with each other, because every discovery about us would be more satisfying.

These past few days, I had a suspicion that she'd never been to Singapore. She did not know anything about Singapore except for the tale of Merlion, that mom said she told her. She could not even pronounce the Changi Airpot, or remember the famous landmark Gardens by the Bay. She stammered when I asked where her alma mater's address was, or where she used to live.

These things, I have to decipher. But slowly. In time, I'll find out.

Elena's POV

"Of course. All she has to do is tell me. I'll support her all the way," Adonis said.

"You're a very lucky girl," Kimberly turned to me, "nothing will stop you now from creating your designs."

"Yeah, of course," I replied, with a smile that did not reach my eyes.

If only Kimberly knew that ours was a marriage of convenience, contracted for the reason of personal gain by grandpa and Adonis - to unite two families to gain more wealth and power.

I wondered if Adonis was serious in financing my business. That would be great, but it would mess up my plan in getting out of this marriage soon. I lesser I owe him, the better.

"We're going out for dinner, to this new local restobar. It's beautiful there, the food are so delicious, you'll get to taste authentic Singaporean dishes, and experience the culture through the music..." Peter was telling us the food, which Adonis responded, with knowledge about international ingredients.

"It's just across us, so we'll have to walk to go there," Kimberly said to me, "and it's not a fancy place, we don't have to change."

"Great," I nodded, smiling. I was relieved because I had no other dress to wear.

"We still have two hours left before dinner," Peter said after checking his watch, "how about we'll take a rest first?"

"That sounds good," Adonis replied, leaning his back against the rattan armchair.
