The Billionaire's Genius Wife

At the Burj Al Arab, Dubai.

“Who rang the bell in the middle of the night!?” Xander muttered while walking towards the door in annoyance.

When he peeked through the peephole, he was surprised to see Zoey Warner standing before the door.

Why did she come here late at night? He wondered while opening the door.

“What happened? Why are you here?” Xander asked, confused.

Zoey blinked several times, trying to control her mind, which was about to scatter after seeing Xander standing before her using only his night rob. Her eyes stared straight at his broad chest.

“X-Xander, my anxiety relapsed. I am afraid to sleep alone!” She lowered her head, afraid to see Xander’s angry gaze. She knows this is not the right time to bother him, but this is the only chance she has after she knows this man has a wife!

Xander massaged his forehead, which was getting sore after hearing Zoey’s sentence. After a few seconds of thinking, he said, “You can’t…”

But before Xander finished his sentence, Zoey said, “…Xander, please! I know there are two bedrooms in this room. I’m not going to ask to sleep with you. I just need to sleep in the other room…”

Seeing the worried and scared look in Zoey’s eyes made Xander soften a little. “Do whatever you want!!” He said, then turned to go to his room.

“So… So, you agree with me staying next door!?” The light in her eyes was getting brighter as she watched Xander’s back walking away into his bedroom. Meanwhile, she stood in the doorway, waiting for him to answer.

“Hmm, close the door!” Xander said without looking back. After he locked the door behind him, he slammed his body on the bed.

He was annoyed with himself because he drank so much. Now, his head feels hurt, like someone had put weight on it.

Meanwhile in the next room…

pαndα`noν?1–сoМ Zoey Warner broadly smiled as she entered the guest room.

Her spring-like smile never left her face as she was so pleased with the result of her plan. Before she did this, she didn’t think Xander would allow her to sleep in his room.

Now, Zoey couldn’t contain her excitement. How would Ben react tomorrow morning if he saw her coming out of this room!! 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

Zoey untied her silk night robe. The robe slowly slipped from her body, falling to the floor. Nearly every inch of her sexy and delicate pale skin was exposed, only covered by translucent pale pink lingerie.

With graceful and light steps, she walked to the soft bed in the middle of the room. She lay down there looking at her reflection in the mirror on the ceiling directly above the bed.

She giggled in pleasure at how seductive her body was now. If only Xander lay beside her, then her night would be perfect.

“Xander Riley… I don’t care that you have a wife. I hope you don’t forget my sacrifice for you all this time!” She whispered.

Back to Old Riley’s birthday party,

Scarlett can see a few respected people in the country in the room; politicians, military leaders, and famous business people.

They were all gathered in a large room that resembled a five-star hotel lobby. Seriously talking to each other — someone sitting on the sofa or standing in the room’s corner while enjoying the wine.

This was the first time Scarlett had entered this room. Previously, she was brought by Xander to the main house, which only the prominent family had access to.

Meanwhile, the room they were using tonight was on the other side of the main house, often used for events such as limited banquets like now.

Even though Scarlett was a little nervous at the sight of influential people around her, whom she usually only saw on television and in business magazines, she tried to stay calm.

Scarlett made sure Logan was beside her as they entered the room. She listens to Logan’s explanation about the misunderstanding about their arrival time.

‘Gosh! Xander, how can you get me in trouble now?’ Scarlett felt like scolding him.

Scarlett put her anger aside and followed Logan to find Walter Riley chatting with four friends on the sofa set in the middle of the room.

As soon as she approached them, Walter Riley saw her. He automatically stood up and greeted Scarlett lovingly.

“Scarlett, my child! You’re finally here.” Walter hugs her warmly. “Sit here beside grandpa!”

Scarlett sat beside Grandpa Riley, feeling awkward because the person sitting in that place was not just anyone. She recognized almost all of them.

Not waiting for Grandpa Riley to say something, Scarlett sincerely apologized for arriving so late.

The old man smiles and whispers to Scarlett, “Don’t worry! Logan has explained. My naughty grandson is naturally afraid you come here without him…”

Walter Riley chatted with Scarlett for a while until he forgot about the people around them who were now starting to exchange words with each other, curious about Scarlett’s identity.

“Who is this young lady? She could make Old Riley laugh like that…” The old man with a round face and golden glasses asked.

“Yeah, who’s that woman? I’ve never seen her at a Riley gathering before…” another old man asked.

“Is she his granddaughter?”

“I don’t think so. This woman hasn’t appeared just today. And, have you guys forgotten, Old Riley doesn’t have any granddaughters…”

“Mmm. You’re right!”

“Yes… Yes… I remember that!”

“But who is she? Is she Carter’s girlfriend?”

Hearing all his friends talking about Scarlett, Walter Riley laughed as he slowly turned his gaze and looked at them.

“Gentlemen, introduce this beautiful lady here. She is my grandson Xander Riley, wife…” There was a hint of pride in Old Riley’s tone as he introduced Scarlett to all of them.

Suddenly, everyone in the place fell silent at the news.

While at the same time, Paul Harris and Ella Harris, walking towards Walter Riley, suddenly stopped when they heard the shocking news.

‘Xander Riley is married!?’ Paul Harris muttered in his heart. ‘And that young lady is Xander Riley’s wife?’

Even with his calm face, Paul Harris couldn’t hide how shocked he was now!
