Mr. Billionaire's Fake Wife

Chapter2

2Rachel walked past the guests seated in Jeremy's living room, her brow furrowed slightly when her eyes met with Jeremy, seeing an angry frown that made her bow her head. Jeremy wasn't happy about the arrangement, he didn't like her and saw her as a burden.

She couldn't back down now, her sister's life was all she could care about. She. She will do whatever it takes,

Rachel and her sister were involved in an accident that took the lives of their parents. They were 7 and 3 years old at the time, they had been in and out of foster homes, which treated them badly until Rachel turned 18 and was capable of taking care of her only sister.

She met Mrs Lucy at the General Hospital,

Something about her caught Mrs Lucy's attention as she walked past her in the hospital cafeteria,

Mrs Lucy Wilson stared at her as she walked away, after getting some food to take upstairs to her sister's room.

“Who is that lady?” Mrs Wilson asked Doctor Maria who she was coming to have lunch with.

“Oh, that's Rachel, her only sister is a patient in this hospital.”

“Why do you ask?” Dr. Maria asked.

“Nothing, she reminds me of someone I know from my past, that's all,” Mrs Lucy replied.

Tell me about her.

Dr. María didn't know much about Rachel, but she told her little she knew about her,

Mrs. Wilson took an interest in her and also offered her a deal to be her son's fake wife for some time, while she assisted her in taking care of her only sister's medical bills.

She thought about it for weeks, before agreeing to do it for her sister's sake.

Rachel never believed in marriage anyway. She only saw marriage as an arrangement. Which made her not see a problem with joining herself to a stranger.

“I can't have you mock my family for looking like this” a nasty tone from behind,

“Excuse me”, Rachel turned.

Behind her was a beautiful curvy young lady, her slender body looking very classy and elegant; Amber, Jeremy’s younger sister.

“You could have made an effort. You are getting married to a Wilson, not any Wilson but the president of the Wilson group. My Brother, Amber, pointed out proudly,

Rachel bit her lower lips and bowed her head. She looked at herself,

That was one of her favorite dresses. It was a basic long gown but classic style, clothes of decent quality were not cheap, but compared to the elite gathered around the room, she looked like a poor relative.

Rachel always loved to stay natural, so she had less makeup with lip gloss, and her hair neatly packed in a ponytail.

“Ignore her, Rachel,” Mrs Lucy said while taking her away from Amber, who was ready to throw in more insults for free, as she didn't see the reason why her brother was marrying a poor girl anyway.

Mrs Lucy had to signal her assistant, Lori, who came immediately,

“Please take Rachel to the dressing room and put her in something more presentable”.

“Thank you, Mrs Wilson,” Rachel said and followed Lori!

Rachel had experienced so many harsh words from other employers, but she wasn't bothered about Amber's words, who could blame her. It must be hard for them too, as it was for her to make such a decision to get married to a man who didn't even see her as worthy of being in his presence.

Just being present at the Wilson mansion, everyone looked at her like she didn't belong there, including the security at the entrance, who almost threw her out and called her an impostor trying to claim to be Mr Wilson’s wife.

“Where are you going to, son,” Mrs Wilson asked as Jeremy stood to take a walk, not minding the discussion going on at the table,

“To go call my girlfriend's mom!” Jeremy replied nonchalantly,

He put his hands in his pockets and took out his phone, his head focused on his phone, he left the room,

Moments later, the butler opened the door as two men in black suits and suitcases walked in, exchanging handshakes with the men gathered to witness the joining of Jeremy and Rachel lawfully,

The lawyers are here. Please bring Rachel out so we can get this over with, as we can't keep them waiting for long, Mr. Lucy ordered the maid to stand-by, waiting to receive orders,

She walked to the room where Rachel was getting ready.

“It's time madam”. The lawyer is here, and the ceremony is about to begin.

Rachel felt her heart beating so fast, a small ache in her heart, she had not even a moment to catch her breath to process what was happening.

She took a last look in the mirror. She couldn't recognize herself as she was decorated like a birthday gift waiting to be unwrapped. Her dress was an expensive and long white and green petal gown, cream-colored shoes, a gold bracelet and earrings, a glittering necklace, which made her eyes pop! Her makeup was light and moderate.

She was looking very beautiful but unsettled, her nerves couldn't calm down as the thought of stepping out looking like this made her shiver.

She bit her lips and took deep breaths for the last time. She opened the door and stepped out. She found no one at the door, so she decided to go in alone.

She walked down the hallway, her eyes scouting for the main entrance to the living room. She heard tiny voices coming from a distance, she knew she was close as she lowered her head to the ground and walked slowly.

She was lost in her thoughts. She collided with a figure in front of her, distracted by her thought, banging her head with the fellow's startled reaction out of her.

“Ouch!” she murmured, tendering an apology immediately,

“Am so sorry,” with her head bowed down, She took a step backward.

“That was so clumsy of me. I apologize.”

A sheer of shame washed over her face as her victim remained silent, she raised her head to meet a scowl formed on her victim's face,
