Married a Secret Billionaire

The man looked toward the bedroom. His deep voice felt suggestive, and his warm breath was slowly inching closer to her.

Cordelia looked up into his deep eyes, and it seemed as if there was a firework display in them. She slipped to the side, only for the man to snake an arm around her waist and pull her into his embrace.

Cordelia was frozen in shock while Marcus’ gaze grew more heated.

His hand, which was splayed over her waist, tightened without taking further action. Marcus looked at Cordelia. The girl’s eyes were screwed shut, and even though she was doing her best to relax, the tremor that ran through her exposed her panic about being with a man for the first time.

A rush of affection rushed into Marcus. He did not want to take her under the circumstances. Something like this should happen naturally.

“You must be tired.” Cordelia heard his husky voice. “Go rest early.”

While she was still stunned, she felt the pressure on her disappear, and the burning heat in the air slowly cooled off. Cordelia could not put a finger on what she felt.

This man should be the closest person she had in this world, but she had only gotten to know him for a few days. Besides, she was keeping secret the burden of being a substitute—which Marcus must not have found out… She wanted to brace herself and admit to him that she was not Yelena but Cordelia, yet each time the confession rolled to the tip of her tongue, she hesitated.

If Marcus thought that the Jenners had lied to him and kicked up a fuss, who knew how bad the fight would get. He had a hot temper, and it was common for him to fight. What if…

Cordelia glanced at the punching bags and boxing gloves at the front of their house and immediately decided against the thought.

“I asked you to turn in early. What kind of daze are you caught in?” Marcus asked.

Cordelia snapped out of it and headed to the bedroom, only to receive a call from Carter.
