Mr. Billionaire's Second Chance Bride

Kendrick was taken aback for a moment. Her question was confusing because she didn't finish the question, it was like taking a part of it to create suspense.

"I got married so that I can share my bed with someone. And the person who is willing to share a bed with me should be given the opportunity to take advantage of my network." His voice was undoubtedly calm and firm.

The way Kendrick sounded made Zephyrine question the identity of the man she married. Did she get married to some bigshot without knowing? Zephyrine clearly remembered that after they got married, she hadn't found a good time to research the man's identity. Seems like the time had come for her to do some findings about him.

Zephyrine coughed, "Just drop me off somewhere. You can head to your company first."

"Wait," Kendrick halted her when he saw that she was about to open the door. "Where are you off to? You are now my responsibility."

Since morning, Zephyrine had been amazed with his words. When she married him at first, she thought she married an unromantic man but now it seems like she was home ruining the fun of their marriage.

"I have some unfinished business," Zephyrine's voice suddenly turned cold and her eyes turned determined. Kendrick looked at her speechless, he was kind of surprised, gazing at her. He thought she was an open book easy for him to read, but it seemed like he could only read her mind when she wanted him to.

What kind of play are these two playing with each other?

"Are you going to keep questioning me or should I find my way?"

Kendrick would have wished to hear from her but since she was trying to play stubborn, he would just use his normal tactics.

He didn't respond with words, instead, he responded with his next action. He dropped her off so she could easily get a cab before he drove in the other direction that led to his company.

Once he arrived at his office, he called his secretary to check where his wife was going.

At the other side of Sydney, particularly Sydney Superyacht Marina where all sorts of yachts could be found. Zephyrine's gaze lingered on a particular yacht with a devilish smirk plastered on her lips.

She elegantly walked to the yacht, it was her private yacht and it was where she used to catch fun with Nathaniel. She pushed open the door and a familiar face came into her line of sight. A bigger smile spread across her face.

In front of her was Nathaniel tied to a chair, he was practically begging to be set free. But that was not Zephyrine's plan yet. She didn't have him captured only to have him released a few hours after.

Zephyrine settled into a seat in front of him, she crossed her legs then raised his head with her index finger. Her eyes were filled with disgust for him, and Nathaniel's face was pale from having to go hungry for hours.

"Darling ex-boyfriend, how have you been? Well if you want to know about me. I am doing nicely with my husband." Zephyrine's eyes pierce into Nathaniel's soul.

Nathaniel pleaded for mercy with his eyes but Zephyrine shrugged her shoulders innocently. Nathaniel was sure that she didn't do anything to wrong the woman while they were dating, so what awoke her wrath on him? He wished he could ask her but his mouth was stuffed with wrapped papers.

"I'm sure you must be curious to know why you are here, in our yacht. I won't waste time because I have better things to attend to." Zephyrine was simply telling him that he was not a significant person to her.

Nathaniel could understand her, anyone in her position would feel that kind of pride. The man she married was not just any man.

"I want you to marry Eleanor," Zephyrine's voice was loud and clear enough to the ear, but to Nathaniel, it was like she was speaking in different languages. Why should he marry her step-sister? It was the two of them before, so why should he marry her greatest obstacle?

Nathaniel wanted to speak, but he was not given the chance. Seeing the expression on Nathaniel's face, she helped remove the papers in his mouth to enable him to speak his mind.

It was when the paper was removed that Nathaniel was able to breathe properly. If Zephyrine had removed the paper a minute later, he might have lost consciousness.

"Start speaking," Zephyrine roared, scaring off Nathaniel. Nathaniel was seeing a new version of Zephyrine which he wasñt used to yet. Is this how she has been with my uncle?

"I don't love El—"

"Don't give me that bullshit, are you in or out?"

Nathaniel couldn't say no with the gun facing him. Why did she have a gun? She didn't learn it because of me, did she? Nathaniel shivered and trembled with so many thoughts swirling in his mind.

Zephyrine got impatient, and she pointed the gun at him, just when he thought the bullet was going to run through his brain, he heard the sound of the gun dropping to the floor.

He looked at Zephyrine with horror, if not that he was able to control himself, he would have embarrassed himself in front of Zephyrine.

Zephyrine was satisfied with that display just now. She didn't know that Nathaniel would actually be scared of a gun, but if he didn't start talking now, she might lose her patience and anything could happen. She has a lot on her table.

"Did you know that I–I was in love with Eleanor?"

Zephyrine's eyes turned mist listening to the question. With a sweet smile, she responded, "Yes..that's why I am helping you do what you haven't done yet."

Nathaniel was a little excited but he was mostly sad, Eleanor was of no value to him. She had lost herself completely in his arms countless times, so she wasn't worth him. He desired Zephyrine but he could not hold a pin near her husband's toe so why waste time trying to win her back?

He nodded sure that Eleanor would fall at his feet if she knew that he wanted to marry her.

Just when he thought it was going to end, he heard Zephyrine's voice again. "You have to report to me every day. I tell you how I want your daily activity to go and you must do everything without jumping a single one."

Nathaniel furrowed his brow, what kind of trap is Zephyrine setting for him?

"Do you still want the plan with LH company to go on?"

Nathaniel's jaw dropped, how did she get to know about that? He hasn't even discussed it with his parents yet. That gave Nathaniel more reason to fear Zephyrine.

Cold sweat formed on his forehead and his lips quivered as he tried to answer. "I w…I will do everything you ask of me. Please don't share the plan with anyone." He pleased earnestly, his life depends on the collaboration with the LH company and if the idea is revealed to anyone, he is going to be a goner in the business industry.

"So with that decided, I will leave you."
