Secret Marriage to a Billionaire

Kenneth Butler once again questioned whether this woman might be out of her mind.  Seeing Kenneth's lingering doubt, Renee mustered her courage and sat beside him. "You can trust me. I need this child for a special purpose. After today, we can cut all ties. Even if we meet on the street, we can pretend we've never seen each other."  "Why do you want to have a child?' "That's something I can't tell you." Renee shook her head. After a moment of silence, Renee lowered her gaze. "Also... um...this is my first time, so could you... Take the lead?" She was a virgin?! A flicker of excitement ignited within Kenneth. But wait, he was a virgin, too! He didn't have any experience either! The whole point of today was that Lionel had arranged for him to lose his virginity, finally! Who would have thought that rascal Lionel would find him another virgin? This was definitely making things difficult for him. He was definitely going to make him pay for this the next day.  Renee glanced up at Kenneth, stealing a peek. "We can... start now." The word was spoken, but neither of them moved. An awkward silence hung in the air between them. Kenneth cleared his throat. "Um, look... I can take the lead on this, but surely you can at least start the kiss, right?"  "Huh?" "It's more fun when the woman initiates the flirting. Otherwise, where's the excitement?" "Well... alright then." Renee nodded, slowly shuffling closer to Kenneth's side. She lifted her eyes to meet his. Their gazes locked.  His blue eyes were dreamlike, fantastical, the stuff of every girl's fantasy of a Prince Charming. The sight of her shy, blushing expression made his throat tighten. Slowly, Renee leaned closer to Kenneth. Two inches, one and a half inches, one inch... She squeezed her eyes shut, steeled her resolve, and captured his lips with her own. Kenneth Butler, who had never been kissed before, was completely stunned! Her lips were soft, carrying a moist warmth that sent a jolt through his body. In the next instant, he turned the tables, capturing her lips and assaulting them with a rough, hungry kiss of his own. The suddenness of his response startled Renee. Her eyes flew open, and for a moment, she was at a total loss. Then, an intense, tingling sensation spread through her chest.  Unable to restrain himself, Kenneth slid his hand under her shirt. With a single, sharp tug, there was the sound of tearing fabric, and her shirt was ripped open. He immediately pushed her down, pinning her beneath him. Although she had mentally prepared herself as much as humanly possible, when the moment finally arrived, Renee was still as tense as a startled deer. "Again!" Kenneth demanded, still unsatisfied. He went to flip her over, only to find that she had already fallen asleep. He couldn't help but feel his good mood deflate. He was in such high spirits, and she had actually fallen asleep! Kenneth let out a soft "tch" of disappointment. He stood at a distance, his eyes surveying the sleeping Renee, taking in her pretty body. Her breasts might have been a little on the small side, but other than that, her body was truly flawless. Most importantly, she was a perfect fit for him. Just then, Kenneth's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Lionel Mendez calling.  "Damn it, you bastard, I was just looking for you to settle the score!" The words had barely left Kenneth's mouth when an impatient voice erupted from the other end of the line. "Dude! Weren't you the one going on and on about finally losing that twenty-six-year-old virginity of yours? I found you someone. Where the hell are you?!" "I'm at the hotel!" "What are you doing at the hotel? I told you to wait at the bar! The poor girl's been waiting for a solid two hours! Get over there, now!" "What girl? Isn't she in my... " bed?  Kenneth glanced at the naked Renee on his bed! The girl Lionel found for him was still at the bar. So who was this woman in his bed?! "...get to the bar, now!" Lionel's voice was still rambling on in his ear. I guarantee you, the girl I found is a thousand times better than that wife of yours at home!" Renee didn't wake up until around nine the next morning. When she did, her body was wracked with a tearing pain, as if she had been run over by something. There wasn't a single part of her that didn't ache. That man had been too rough last night! She could barely take it. Struggling to sit up, she found her legs trembling as she got out of bed. After taking a shower, she discovered multiple bruises on her body, some from being gripped too hard, and others were kiss marks. " Pervert!" Renee muttered as she realised her clothes had been torn by that man. She had no choice but to ask the hotel staff for help. Thankfully, this was a presidential suite, and the service was top-notch. Borrowing clothes from a staff member, she hurried and fled the place. Obsidian Empire, CEO Office The office was impeccably decorated and flawlessly clean, without a single item out of place or a single imperfection to be found. Three computers were set up in front of the curved desk. Kenneth sat at the desk, staring at the dark screens. Since this morning, he hadn't been able to focus on work. His mind was filled with thoughts of the woman who had accidentally ended up in his bed last night. His secretary, Dorris, walked in. "Mr Butler, you called for me." At twenty-eight, Dorris was the head of Kenneth Butler's secretarial team. He had joined Obsidian Empire straight out of college and was, in a way, one of Kenneth's most veteran employees. "I need you to look into someone for me," Kenneth said, opening his phone and pulling up a photo. It was a photo of Renee Avery. In a fit of mischief the night before, Kenneth snapped a nude photo of her. The version he showed Dorris, however, was tightly cropped to just her face. After all, he would never show a naked photo of a woman he'd slept with to anyone! Dorris walked over, took Kenneth's phone, and his eyes widened in shock. "Th-th-that's... " "That's what? Just investigate everything about this woman!" Kenneth ordered, frowning. "Mr Butler," Dorris said, finally composed. Isn't that... your wife?" Dorris had handled all the arrangements for Kenneth's marriage, so of course, he had seen Renee Avery before. "My wife?" Kenneth looked puzzled. "Mr Butler, have you forgotten? A year ago, you registered your marriage and arranged for your wife to stay in the villa over in Prism City." Kenneth's hands slammed down on the table as he shot to his feet, his eyes glaring fiercely at Dorris. "Are you saying the woman in this photo is my wife?!" Kenneth had never seen Renee before. The marriage wasn't his idea, and he had been so against it that he hadn't even shown up for the official registration. Given his status, the civil affairs office didn't dare to insist on his presence. So, until now, he had no idea what his wife looked like and had even forgotten he was married!
