My Mysterious Husband

"Antonia's engagement party?"

Basil raised his eyebrows.

As soon as Lola said what she needed to say, he understood her completely.

Antonia was her sister, so she was required to go.

However, with all the news circulating on the internet, people would continually mock her throughout the night.

The smartest choice would be to take him with her.

Basil's lips curved slightly.

This woman was interesting.

"Yes,"

Lola said, nodding her head. "I'll sign it if you go with me."

There was a round of silence as Basil stared deep into her eyes.

Finally, he said the word that she had been waiting to hear!

"Deal."

Without another thought,

Lola picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract.

From now on, she was the wife of the most mysterious man in the A Country.

"My assistant will bring you shopping. I'll pick you up later,"

he said coldly.

He quickly made a phone call to his assistant and asked her to pick Lola up in his estate. Obviously, she needed to look presentable at the engagement party. "Okay." Lola nodded.

Seeing her obedient face and plump lips, Basil's gaze clouded over.

Suddenly, he stretched out his arm and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her in.

"Ah!" Lola made a sound of surprise as she found herself against his chest.

'What the hell?' she thought.

Before she could utter another word, he pressed his lips against hers.

At first, Lola struggled under his grasp before she calmed down. She wrapped her arms against his neck as she opened her mouth, allowing his tongue to dart in.

Besides, at this point, there was no going back. It wasn't as if they were going to stay innocent for the next two years.

At last, Basil finally pulled away, allowing her to gasp for air. She stumbled backwards, placing a hand on her chest.

He smirked, letting his fingers glide against her wet lips.

"I got to get some down payment, right?"

The corners of his lips lifted. He leaned over to whisper in her ear. "Don't worry. I'll start collecting my interest tonight."

Lola's face flushed at the implication of his words.

She pushed him away and glared at him.

The rascal!

Shortly after the episode, Cynthia Yin, his assistant, finally arrived at the villa.

When Lola came out of the front gates, Cynthia Yin respectfully led her into the car. From what she could tell, the car was very limited edition. In fact, only a few men in the world could afford such an exquisite ride.

Lola licked her lips. Without another word, they drove to the mall.

Half an hour later, they were already at the store, looking for clothes. From the peaceful environment to the intricate design on the walls, Lola could tell that this wasn't just any other store. In fact, if it was just her, she probably might not even look at this place. She couldn't help but scan the price tags attached onto the clothes.

Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

That...

that shirt probably cost half her life!

"Mrs. Lola, which one do you like?"

Cynthia Yin took her to another shop that contained luxurious outfits with a smile plastered onto her face.

"I..."

Lola blinked. "You mean...I can choose whatever I like?"

Cynthia Yin was stunned at her question before slowly nodding her head.

"Of course. If you don't like it, then we can go to another shop," she offered.

When Lola shook her head in reply, Cynthia Yin waved her hand at the director. Soon, they were being presented with dozens of dresses. They were all made from the most exquisite fabrics and were all designed so intricately.

After scanning each one of them, Lola settled on an apple green dress.

While she was changing back to her clothes in the fitting room, a burst of laughter came from the other end of the room.

"I've made an appointment with you for such a long time, and you chose today of all days to come out. Is that how best actresses act?" one teased.

"I've been busy."

"Busy with..." They burst into another round of laughter.

Lola poked her head out of the changing room, wanting to see what the fuss was about, only to freeze when she saw who it was.

Their laughter went to a halt.

Lola paused, holding the dress tightly.

An... Antonia?

How the hell did they meet here? Did the world just want to ruin her right then and there?

Surprise flashed across Antonia's eyes, but she quickly recovered.

"What a surprise. Why are you here?"

Disdain was evident in her words.

'Are you kidding me? This is one of the limited edition boutiques! What does she expect to get from here?

Scrubs?'

Antonia snorted, narrowing her eyes.

Lola sneered. She was about to say something when someone yelled out,

"Hey, Antonia, is this your sister?

Look what the cat dragged in."

Suddenly, Bella Ou walked up to Antonia, sneering. Her voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Can you even afford this place?"

Lola stared at them for a long time before turning to Cynthia Yin.

"Where are we?"

she said carefully. Lola wasn't much a shopper, so she wasn't that aware of clothing brands.

What if she couldn't afford the clothes that she'd chosen? Upon hearing her words,

Bella Ou cackled.

"Honey,

don't you even know where you are?

Are you really that dumb?"

Cynthia Yin cleared her throat awkwardly.

She glanced at the pair before leaning towards Lola, whispering in her ear,

"Mrs. Lola, this is BIC." Lola furrowed her eyebrows,

nodding.

BICI

She hadn't heard of it.

Seeing that she was still confused, Cynthia continued, "BIC is a subsidiary of the White Empire Group. In other words..."

She whispered the rest in her ear.

"All of this belongs to Mr. Basil."

'What?' Lola's jaw dropped

as she looked at her in surprise.

Did she just hear it wrong? All of this belonged to Basil?

"So..." Lola trailed off.

Seeing her surprise, Cynthia chuckled. "As Mr. Basil's wife, all of these are yours."

She waved her hand to emphasized her point.

After handing her the information, Cynthia turned to the antagonistic pair with pity in her eyes.

They would be regretting their words,

and they didn't even know it yet.

If Lola said a word, they could be easily thrown out of here.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
