Trapped in a Secret Marriage with a Dangerous Billionaire

The second Lilian sighted Aurora, she left her desk and rushed up to her.

"That's right, Lilian. I need you to deliver a few bottles of wine to my Dad," Aurora mentioned as soon as she saw her. "Gather the team when you return so we can all try a bottle of the 'Fruit Punch Champagne," she added as she opened the door to her office and walked in.

"Ms. Aurora, Director Olivia left your office a minute ago," Lilian informed, following after her.

As soon as Aurora heard that, she quickly snapped her gaze to her, stopping in her steps with brows furrowed. "What? You let her into my office?"

"She forced her way in. I'm sorry I couldn't stop her." Lilian bowed, completely guilty.

Aurora quickly marched to her desk, her eyes searching around for what that bitch of a sister must have touched. "What did she come into my office for? Did you at least see what she touched or did?" She was anxious, hoping that Olivia would not steal any important documents or information from her office.

That girl was only good at stealing in her possession.

"She didn't touch your desk. I think she was only interested in the bouquet you received," Lilian replied and went on to explain how she watched Olivia pick up the note that had come with the bouquet from the wastebin and read the content, through the open window blinder before the former marched out.

Aurora scoffed. Olivia would never cease to surprise her. She wondered what else could if jealousy and envy didn't kill her.

"The next time she tries to get into my office, tell her that if any important file or information leaks from my desk, she will be held responsible. Do you understand me?" Aurora said to Lilian.

"Yes, Ma'am," Lilian nodded in understanding.

As soon as Olivia returned home from the office, she went to find her mother who was sitting on the terrace reading the latest ELLE magazine while eating some oranges.

"Mum, you won't believe this!" Olivia walked in and went straight to sit on the woven chair across from her before reaching for the oranges. She popped one into her mouth as her mother met her gaze.

"If you have gist for me, then you better don't make me wait," Stella said to her.

Olivia nodded as she gestured for her to wait before quickly swallowing the orange piece in her mouth. "Mum, I think Aurora is seeing someone."

Stella narrowed her gaze, instinctively closing the magazine with a finger stuck on the page she was currently reading.

"And how is that possible with Owen recently ending things with her?" she asked, lowering the magazine. "Is she that desirable and quick to move on from heartbreaks? If that is the case, we need to break her heart even more seeing that she has gotten accustomed to it."

"I think we might not be doing a good job and need to up our game." Olivia relaxed into her seat. "A week ago, I saw her getting into a 'Martin' car after work and just today, someone sent her a bouquet with 'I miss you already and hope to see you soon' written on it."

Stella removed her finger from the page she had been on and finally put the magazine down, her eyes on Olivia. "Did you find out whose car she got into and the identity of the bouquet sender?"

"Unfortunately, I couldn't see the car's plate number or the face of the man sitting in the back seat from the distance I was standing. Also, the bouquet sender didn't leave his name on the note." Olivia sighed and asked, "But what if she is doing all this to attract attention to herself since Owen sent me a bouquet at work the other day?"

Stella picked up an orange section from the plate. Leaning back, she crossed her legs. "That's why we need to look into it."

"So, what if she is actually dating? Will you let her get married?" Olivia asked, raising a curious brow. She really wanted to know what her mother planned to do with Aurora's destiny.

"I don't mind her getting married in any way. What I do mind is the class of man she attracts. I can't let her marry a better and more influential man than Owen. She has to stick to the spot below you," Stella said, a smirk appearing at the corner of her lip.

Olivia smiled proudly, feeling lucky to have got herself the best mother in the world.

"The people keeping watch on your sister mentioned that she hasn't been home in a while," Stella mentioned as her gaze turned serious. "When your father returns, tell him we should have dinner at her place tonight to celebrate the new products you two are launching since she failed to come home for dinner last weekend. And our coming should be a surprise."

Olivia nodded immediately as she got off the chair. "I will, Mum." She was in for any mission that had everything to do with bursting or offending Aurora.

Aurora returned from work to meet Xander in the living room with several papers scattered on the table and wondered what happened to his study.

"Come give me a hug," Xander smiled as he spread his arms out for her as soon as she walked in.

She let out a soft sigh and went to him. She hugged him and received a soft kiss on her cheeks and just when she was about to lean away, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit next to him.

"How was work today?" he inquired and picked up his tablet to continue with the mail he was going through.

"Fine," she replied. "I went to the wine production factory today and got some bottles from my new product."

Almost immediately, he glanced at her. "Where is my bottle?"

"Did you think I wouldn't bring any for you when you helped with the idea?" she asked and immediately had the butler bring the carton of champagne she returned with.

Aurora brought out six bottles and set them on the table as Xander made space for her.

"Two belong to you, and two for your parents. I want to know what they think about the Fruit Punch Champagne. The review will help with last-minute improvements," she explained. "And the other two are for your friend, Asher. He can give a bottle to another friend, and I don't mind him taking pictures and posting on his social media."

As Xander listened to her plots, a grin appeared on his face. "I know what you are trying to do," he said. "And I will help you only if you are willing to share a few more bottles with me so I can send them to the people in my network. How do you see it?"

Instantly, Aurora's gaze widened in surprise seeing his efforts to help her promote her new product to the people in a class higher than hers.

"Oh. My. God! Do you think I'm stupid not to need your help?" she asked.

"I for say." Xander tapped the tip of her nose and immediately called for the butler to bring two champagne glasses before turning his attention back to her. "Trust me, you don't have any problem with getting your 'Fruit Punch Champagne into the market, and no one can hinder its growth under my watch."
