Billionaire’s Sweet Wife by Joanna Badldwin

Chapter 1 Betrayal

Seraphina Jones woke up with a slight headache at midnight and felt her mouth as dry as a bone.

Even so, Seraphina was still happy.

Seraphina was a perfumer and had been working on a perfume for a long time. After she finally made it, she named it First Love. It would be sent to attend a perfumery competition tomorrow night. After she won the prize in the competition, she and Julian Brown, the man she loved, would start discussing their marriage plans.

It had been five years since Seraphina and Julian knew each other at college. Besides, they had been in love for three years.

Seraphina gave up a lot of things and devoted herself to the study of perfume. Her efforts finally paid off. With her help, Julian’s company grew bigger. A bright future seemingly smiled at her. For this reason, she drank a few more drinks at night.

Seraphina pinched the bridge of her nose and planned to find some water, but she heard a strange noise from the next room.

Seraphina lived alone in the small rented apartment. Julian would stay occasionally, but he would only stay in the guest room alone.

Hearing the noise, Seraphina couldn’t help worrying about if there was anything wrong with Julian.

But when Seraphina got closer to the door of that room, she heard a woman’s voice.

“Julian, will Seraphina hear us?”

“Isn’t it exciting? Don’t worry, honey. I put a drug in her drink. I’m sure she won’t wake up till tomorrow morning.” Although the man’s voice was full of short gasps, Seraphina could recognize that it was Julian’s voice.

Seraphina’s heart sank. Seraphina put so much concentration into the study and development of perfumes over the years that she often suffered from insomnia and needed sleeping pills to help her fall asleep. Therefore, she developed some resistance to drugs that helped or made one sleep.

“When I win the award with the new perfume at tomorrow’s competition, I will be a senior perfumer and have a stable position in this circle. There will be plenty of investors for you to choose from in the future. Moreover, you can recruit as many perfumers as you want, including those better than Seraphina.”

Seraphina, who was standing at the door, clenched her hands and recognized it was Vivian Garcia who was speaking inside that room.

Vivian was Seraphina’s best friend from college. However, since they were still college students, she had been keeping an improper relationship with Julian whom Seraphina took as her fiancé.

Seraphina naturally heard of some rumors. She just stubbornly chose to trust Julian and Vivian, but the reality gave her a fierce slap in the face.

I even included part of the letters of your name in my company’s name. You know how much I love you! As for Seraphina, I just take her as a springboard. If it weren’t for you, I would not have tampered with her formula in the perfumery competition that was held for beginner perfumers
