My Billionaire Husband

Her question seemed to shock this intruder coz he was suddenly silenced and practically froze. Then he finally noticed Jayden near them. Maddie wanted to ask what happened to them that day.

"Mr. Tian, care to explain everything?" Said Maddie and she could tell he practically forced that out. Jayden stood up and held out his hand and started to open his mouth.

"Mr. Ji." there was some bad blood between them but she can't figure out what it was. She did not know why this man came all of a sudden asking his best friend an explanation.

"Ummm... Jayden care to explain this to me?" She gave 'Mr. Ji' one look then focused her attention on Jayden waiting for his words.

He looked at her with some emotion and she never saw Jayden wearing such kind of confusion in his eyes before. He sighed deeply and started to talk.

"I was trying to think of the best way to break this news to you but it seems like I don't have any time for that anymore." He glanced at Mr. Ji his expression darkening.

"Honey," he took her hand between his and brought it to his mouth placing a soft kiss. She was really confused caused the two guys to seem to have a secret. She has no idea what's going on this time and why there's someone calling him "Honey" in an instant.

Maddie Ji cleared his throat loudly. She glanced over at him and noticed he looked like he was barely containing his fury. Jayden continued like he hadn't even heard a thing,

"Baby girl, you have amnesia." it took some time for it to sink in into her mind. Then she shook her head a smile making its way to her face and can't believe a kind of hilarious news that exploded like a bomb in front of her. "Amnesia!" She had amnesia!

"Haha. Very funny Jayden. Tell me, for real though," She looked at him expectantly waiting for the actual confirmation. She feels being played by them.

"I'm serious Jiaye. This guy is your husband. Tasty bakers are on the brink of collapse. Getting into CP Mason was the best course of action your dabbing could take." Jayden's words didn't make any sense for her. What he is talking about?

Unknowingly, tears started flowing down in her cheeks. "Your joking, right? This is all just a nasty game you and your friend are playing, right?" she let out in between sobs. She tried wiping them but they just kept flowing. "Why can't I stop crying? This is so frustrating. Tell me you're just making some jokes on me!" she screamed.

"Look, Jiaye-"

"Get out! Both of you. I just want to be alone right now." She said furiously.

"Jiaye-" Maddie said.

"Out, please."

She pulled the cover of her head then let out a hiss when a sharp pain raced through her left arm.

"Call the doctor!" Maddie said brusquely as they both left the room. His reaction seemed so scared after looking at her.

Amnesia?? Married?? Are tasty bakers bankrupt?? Her head was beginning to pound. Ji Family... CP Mason. Did all this have something to do with her sweet old friend Frank? But the last time she saw him they didn't even talk about business. They are having fun talking things after college graduation.

Her eyes slowly drifted shut the sleep finally taking over. She had a long dreamless slumber. Her mind was tired thinking about something which didn't sink in. She's the daughter of Zhi Family, one of the rich families in China and she lived a life of happiness full of money and expensive things, yet her parents have differences that make them apart.

She slowly came back to the land of the living when she felt someone rubbing soothing circles on her hand.

She opened her eyes slowly and saw Mr. Ji sitting by her side rubbing her hand fighting sleep.

She slowly pulled out her hand, uncomfortable with the familiarity he was displaying. He is a total stranger to her whose according to Jayden he is her husband.

"Were we a touchy-feely couple?" she asked him softly filling in the awkward silence that ensued. He looked at her deeply trying to think of the most appropriate thing to say to Jiaye.

"It was a marriage of convenience." He finally let out. "It's an arranged marriage made by my grandfather and your family, just almost a month from married we have a few misunderstandings.

She nodded and her head slowly trying to understand exactly what that meant. She can't recall this man in her mind.

"If it's okay with you, I'd like us to give it another chance. A real shot this time?" He asked her, somewhat sheepishly, but it didn't suit his demeanor.

She shook her head a bit embarrassed to have to turn down a guy this hot. She means, excuses me, for still being in denial. He is a good looking man and his eyes are expressive that full of sweetness looking at her.

" I'm sorry. But I think it's best our... 'relationship' stayed as it was." Jiaye said immediately because she doesn't know how they live together as husband and wife.

He looked at her like stared at her, like he was peering at her very soul. Trying to say some words he had in his mind.

"I'll make you change your mind." he took back her hand in his and placed a soft kiss on the inside of her palm. "First, you have to get discharged and let me fly you back home," Maddie said while looking at her. "My name is Maddie, you can call me "Honey!" he said after a few minutes.

She laughed nervously and once again pulled her hand from his grip. "How about first, you learn about boundaries," Jiaye said.

He forced a smile then said tightly, "We'll come to an agreement. Just like we did before. My concern right now is your fast recovery so we can go back home,"

Something about the way he said it gave her a weird feeling. She felt as though him saying that meant she was obviously going to bend to his way. And that didn't settle well with her in any way at all.

"Anything you want I could get you? Food? Laptop? Phone?" Maddie said and trying to start a conversation.

"Could I get my phone? Do my parents know I'm here?"

He thought about that. "I honestly don't have a clue. When I got the call, I immediately rushed over."

"Mmhmm. You were working?" she said in a disbelieving tone.

"Yeah, we have our own company. I owned it. I'll call your parents right away. In the meantime, lemme see what I can do about your phone." He rose to leave then suddenly remembered something, "Oh and Jayden said hell be back later." then he left. Leaving her quickly. She never absorbs everything why she can't remember him but other people still remember them.
