The billionaire’s revenge

Chapter five

Zander’s POV

Staying at the house was a lot of fun. We unpacked the kitchen, then Jade cooked Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner, with red wine. It was delicious. We talked through the night. Zander? we’re you serious about us making this like a real marriage? Yes, I was. Then I don’t see why we are doing the separate rooms. I mean, we don’t have to have s*x or anything like that, but we could share a bed. Blushing, a deep red.

Are you sure? I don’t want to push you into something you’re not ready for. I am the one asking you, since tomorrow we will be setting up our home.

If that’s what you want, then I am all for it.

We made a bed in the middle of the living room with all the blankets and pillows we had. I have to say it was a good night. I actually slept pretty well. I got up early and took a shower, got dressed in a dark blue suit with a white shirt and black shiny shoes.

I went into the kitchen and made some coffee for us. I was standing there drinking my coffee when Jade woke up. Why didn’t you wake me? Because you were sleeping peacefully. Blushing, I’ll go take a shower and get ready to go. Okay, coffee will be here for you when you’re done.

She runs to the room, and I can hear her talking to herself. I chuckle at her cuteness. She walks out in a navy blue dress with black heels. Her makeup is done, and her hair is pulled back, showing her beautiful face. How did I get so lucky?

I’m sorry. I just realized we are somewhat matching. I can go change. No, you’re fine. I don’t mind if you don’t. Blushing, if you’re sure. Here’s your coffee, thank you. I can make us breakfast if you’re hungry.

No, it’s okay. We will get something at the office. Lincoln will be here soon. A few minutes later, Zander’s phone goes off. Lincoln’s here. Are you ready? Yes, let me grab my purse. We walk out holding hands. Lincoln is watching us with a big grin on his face. Why are you so happy? It’s nothing . You sure, yep!

It was a quiet ride to the office, and I can feel how uncomfortable Jade is.

Are you okay? I… I don’t know what to expect. You’re my wife, and everyone will treat you as such. Squeezing her hand, I will be with you the whole time. She smiles up at me, but I know she’s still worried.

We drive through a tunnel that I have never seen before, and we end up in the parking garage of Walker Enterprises. H…how did we get here? This is how I get in and out of work every day. This is how I avoid the paparazzi. Oh!

Is everything ready, Lincoln? Of course, but you still have to deal with the one issue right now. What’s that? Sharron is in your office. How did she get in? One of the guards let her in; she told him that she’s your fiancé. Fire the guard; my wife and I will deal with Sharron.

Did you get the video I asked you to get from the bar? And the hotel? Yes, it’s already uploaded to your computer. Good; I am putting the house I bought for Sharron on the market.

Have Felix go by there and get my things from there. Sharron doesn’t have a key to it yet, so he won’t have any issues. We will be selling the house since Sharron decorated it, and I don’t want anything that connects us anymore.

I want you to make sure Everett and Sharron both know it’s on the market. Lincoln laughs; are you going to do what I think you’re going to do? Probably; I know how much Sharron loved the house, and I want Everett to buy it for her.

Jade is just looking at us like we lost our minds.

I told you, Jade, I will have my revenge on both of them for what they did to you and me. I will not hide anything I do from you.

So first, let’s deal with the leech that’s in my office. Lincoln, how long would it take you to get Blaze here? Maybe fifteen minutes. Call him now before we go upstairs. Lincoln dials Blaze’s number, and it rings a couple of times. Link

my man, what can I do for you? Mr. Walker would like you in his office as soon as possible? Did he say what it’s for? No, but you know him; he never calls unless it’s worth your while. I’ll be there in ten minutes.

This better be good, Link! I assure you it will be.

Send him the video of the bar and the hotel.

And when he gets there, make sure he hears our full conversation. Perfect!!

I get out of the car and put my hand out for Jade. She gives me a small smile. You ready? She takes a deep breath. Yes, as she takes my hand stepping out of the car.

We walk to the elevator holding hands when Lincoln’s phone pings. I guess after seeing the videos you sent him, he must have flown here. He’s already in the lobby downstairs. Tell the front desk to let him through. Hey Greg, this is Lincoln. Yes, Mr. Mann, how can I help you? Do you have Blaze at your desk right now? Yes, sir, I do. Mr. Walker said let him through. Yes, Mr. Mann, right away. Put him in our private elevator. Right away, sir. We get to the top floor, and I can hear Sharron already.

Security is in my office with her. I hear the other elevator ping, and out walks Blaze. He sees me and smiles. I walk into my office with Jade and stand there for a few minutes before I cut in.

What’s going on in here? Finally, you’re here. Can you tell these men I’m your fiancé? I’m sorry, I can’t do that, but Zander, I’m already married. You don’t mean that… it’s a joke, right? No, but you’re lying, Sharron. If I were you, I would watch that mouth of yours before it gets you in trouble. Why, what could you possibly do to me? Sharron, I’m not the one who chose to cheat. You did. Go back to Everett. I never cheated on you. Oh, really, so what’s this? Turning the computer around and hitting play. You made your choice, Sharron, and so did I. You mean by marrying Everett’s reject. Sure, if you say so, because that would make you my reject, correct? Zander, you don’t mean this. Ms. Russell, I am tired of your accusations. If you would please leave my husband alone, you made your choice to sleep with Mr. Saint James. Now you want what was once yours. Well, he no longer is yours. So please leave, and if you don’t want to leave on your own, well, I will have these gentlemen escort you out.

Like you have the power to do that. Oh, but she does, said both the guards. Gentlemen, please make sure Ms. Russell finds her way out of this building. Yes, Mrs. Walker, right away. Oh, and by the way, Ms. Russell. I hope you have a nice chat with Blaze on your way down. We aim to serve here at Walker Enterprises. You wouldn’t, Zander! Why wouldn’t I? I thought you loved the press? I know how much you love the front page. Well, here’s your chance to get that front-page interview that you’re always dying to have. Zander!!! Gentlemen, get her out of my office now.

Sharron starts yelling at the guards as they pull her out of the office. Blaze is taking photos, trying to get a comment from Sharron. I have to say that was fun. Everyone started laughing. Well, this is only the beginning. We had breakfast, and Zander and Lincoln went through some documents after we all went shopping. They had everything sent to the house. I was expecting to have to set it all up, but when we got back, the house was all done. Zander gives me a smile. They’ve set everything up; you just need to decide how you want it. I’ll set up my office while you tell everyone where you want everything. This is your home, so set it up the way you want. You mean this is our home, chuckling. Yes, you’re right, it’s our home, but you have that woman’s touch I don’t have. Oh, okay!
