Secret Marriage to a Billionaire

All eyes were drawn to the LaFerrari that had roared onto the campus. Though the school had seen its fair share of celebrities and alumni driving luxury cars, this particular car was a first for everyone.

Even Bailey Avery couldn't take her eyes off it, her gaze fixed in astonishment. This car could easily buy her a Maserati ten times over!

And to think, she had to pester Nick Edwards for ages just to get that Maserati.

The car door opened, and a man stepped out.

Kenneth Butler.

He was dressed simply in a pair of light grey linen pants and a white T-shirt, an outfit that was both casual and natural. But the face he revealed to the crowd was another matter entirely.

It was so devastatingly handsome it seemed almost supernatural. And his eyes, a startling blue, looked as if they could pull the very soul from anyone who dared to meet his gaze.

The moment Emily saw Kenneth, her eyes widened, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Could the world be any smaller?

They just slept together yesterday, and now they were running into each other today!

Kenneth walked calmly over to Emily, wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and pulled her possessively into his embrace.

Emily stood there, frozen like a statue.

Bailey was utterly confused. Did Emily get herself a boyfriend?

"Sis, who is this?" Bailey sized up Kenneth from head to toe.

"Uh..."

"Isn't it obvious?" Kenneth raised an eyebrow, a smug expression on his face.

Bailey smiled warmly and extended her hand.

"So, you're my sister's boyfriend? Nice to meet you. I'm Bailey Avery, Emily's sister."

Kenneth glanced at the outstretched hand and instinctively frowned, but didn't take it.

"Oh, so what?" Kenneth asked disdainfully.

Bailey was left in an awkward position by his words.

She quickly turned her gaze to Emily. "Sis, why didn't you tell me that you had a boyfriend? Now I can finally relax. I'm glad you've finally moved on from Nick. You were so heartbroken back then, not eating or drinking. I was really worried about you."

Emily knew all too well that Bailey couldn't stand her being happy. Even if she had a boyfriend, Bailey would try to ruin it.

Kenneth wasn't dumb either; he could sense the underlying meaning in Bailey's words.

"I need to get to the library. I'm not sticking around for this," Emily said, eager to leave.

"Alright then, I won't keep you. But when Nick and I get engaged, you must bring your boyfriend along," Bailey said, waving her hand before driving off in her Maserati.

Emily shot a sideways glance at Kenneth, brushed his hand off, and stormed towards the library with long strides.

"Hey!"

The crowd dispersed.

Emily swiped her card and entered the library, letting out a deep breath.

The library was strictly for students, and even students couldn't get in without their library cards. She really didn't want to see that man!

Emily wove through the stacks, finally tracking down the book she was looking for. There was just one problem: she wasn't quite tall enough, and the book was on the very top shelf.

She jumped a couple of times, but couldn't grab it. Just as she was staring at it, completely at a loss, a long, elegant hand reached past her and plucked the book from its spot.

Emily looked up to see Kenneth's mischievous smile.

"How did you get in here?"

"Easy," Kenneth replied with a smug grin, raising an eyebrow. "I just chatted up the girl at the entrance."

Emily gritted her teeth in frustration.

That girl at the entrance!

For the past four years, on rare occasion, she had forgotten her library card, that l; the librarian had been completely unmovable, stone-faced, no matter how much she begged or pleaded. And yet, she had let a total outsider in without a second thought!

Completely bewitched by that handsome face!

"We agreed to stay out of each other's way, didn't we? What do you want?" Emily whispered, her voice low.

The library was so quiet that any louder conversation would be overheard by other students.]

"You were right last night," Kenneth said." We rushed things. We should have figured everything out first."

"Rushed? What do you mean by "rushed"? Didn't we make everything clear?" Emily glared at Kenneth, her eyes burning with intensity.

Kenneth leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, "Are you implying I wasn't fast enough for you last night? Should I try to be quicker next time?"

Emily understood Kenneth's implication, and a hot blush crept up her cheeks. She bit down hard on her lip.

"What do you want?"

"I don't want anything. Just explain yourself. Why do you want to have a baby?"

Emily glanced at Kenneth, "THIS REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. Even if I am Pregnant, I won't cling to you. You can rest assured!"

As she spoke, Emily scanned the surroundings, worried that a classmate or teacher might come by.

Kenneth propped one arm against the bookshelf, his entire body blocking the shelves.

He lowered his gaze, staring at Emily's flushed face.

Emily looked up and met Kenneth's bright, sparkling eyes.

Those sharp, sculpted features, that perfect face, those sexy, thin lips...

Her face turned an even deeper shade of red.

This man was, quite simply, a devil.

Julia pushed against Royce's chest with both hands, but he didn't budge an inch.

Just as she was about to pull her hands back, Royce suddenly grabbed one of her hands, pressing it against his chest.

"If you want to touch, just say so. Go ahead,

don't stop. I won't charge you!"

EmilyAvery's face turned even redder, like a ripe tomato. She felt like she could hardly breathe!

"Who wants to touch you?!" Julia turned her head to the side.

"Then why are you blushing?" Kenneth

released Emily's hand, instead lifting her chin to turn her flushed little face towards him.

Emily tried to struggle, and although she was quite strong for a girl, she was up against a grown man!

Her strength was no match for Kenneth's!

"That hurts!" Julia felt like her chin was about to be crushed.

Only then did Kenneth let go. "So, are you going to talk or not?"

"There's really nothing to talk about! So what if you know? It has nothing to do with you! I'm begging you, just let me go. Let's just say we... had a one-night stand, and after this, we'll be strangers!"

"Oh... Is that so?"

Emily let out a cold snort, pulling out his phone from his pocket. He navigated to a photo in his gallery and showed it to Emily.

"Here. I've got something for you."

Emily's eyes widened in shock when she saw the photo on the screen!

She was completely naked in the photo!

And Worse, her skin was covered in hickeys.

She lunged for his phone, but he pulled it back effortlessly. "Now will you talk?"

"You scoundrel!" Emily glared fiercely at Emily. "How dare you take

secret photos of me!"

"Yes, I am a scoundrel," he agreed without a hint of shame. "And if you don't tell me what I want to know, believe me, I will make sure every single person in this university gets a copy of these photos."

"..."

"I've got even juicier stuff, by the way. Wanna see?"
