The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Finally, Scarlett could get into her room after those awkward moments meeting Xander Riley.

Scarlett stood behind the door rubbing her chest to calm her restless heart. She still couldn't believe she would stay with Xander Riley in the president's room, just the two of them. Even though they wouldn't be sleeping in the same bedroom, she still felt nervous.

This is the first time she is living with a handsome adult man. And tomorrow, the man will become her lawful husband. Scarlett wasn't sure she could keep her heart from falling for him.

But something is bothering her mind now. Earlier, when she saw Xander for the second time, she felt Xander was a bit different from the first time she saw him at the hospital. He looked hateful and cold as if he wanted to keep distant from her.

"What did you expect, Scarlett!? It's just a contract marriage. Remember, there are no feelings involved in this marriage. You are nothing to him, stop expecting more…" Scarlett could only laugh bitterly, trying to remind herself.

That man didn't like her. What else loves her!?

Scarlett even suspected that Xander had a girlfriend.

"But why did he choose her to be part of this marriage contract?" This question had been bothering her since last night. She wanted to ask, but as she looked at his smileless face, her question suddenly stopped on the tip of her tongue.

After feeling slightly better, Scarlett explores the room.

The room looks luxurious, with a massive bed with white bedding in the middle. There's a two-seater sofa and coffee table on the corner. And behind it is a large glass wall with a direct view of the white sandy beach.

The white sandy beach and the clear blue sky caught her attention. She stood near the glass wall looking outside. Suddenly she wanted to go there to heal her mind – to forget everything that had just happened to her family so she could start a new life in the capital.

But before she went out, Scarlett realized that she hadn't changed her clothes since yesterday. She still wore her favorite wardrobe, a white shirt and ripped jeans.

Instantly her face reddened. She buried her face with her hand, embarrassed because Xander must have seen her appearance still the same as yesterday.

"Oh my!! No wonder Xander asked me to come into this room as soon as I came. Of course, he couldn't stand to see my ugly side, right!?" Feeling humiliated, Scarlett stepped into the bathroom.

Scarlett was shocked to see her appearance in the mirror; her face was ashen with colorless dry lips. And her hair looks damp. While her white shirt is wrinkled. She looked like a woman who had not washed for a week.

Damn!! This is so embarrassing.

All that was still good to see were her sparkling eyes. Before leaving for her parent's house this morning, she still managed to change her contact lenses.

"Scarlett, you are so stupid! How could a man fall in love with you if you did not show off your beauty?" She could only scold herself as she slowly took off her wig.

She smiled at how beautiful her red wavy hair cascaded down her back. Even though it was tightly covered under the wig for a few hours, her hair still felt silky soft.

Scarlett remembers the first time she wore a wig with a gray pixie hairstyle when she wanted to attend a meeting with a film producer. She didn't want her true identity to be known, so she put on a wig.

Because she liked her new look, she started wearing wigs until now.

So, people out there think her pixie cut is her natural hair, but it's not. She would never cut her hair this short because she had promised her late mother to never do that. Her late mother loves her long hair.

"Mommy! I did a good job, didn't I!? Until now, my long red hair is still the same as the last time you saw it. Please praise me, mom…appeared in my dreams tonight, huh!?" Scarlett's eyes blurred seeing her reflection in the mirror. She started crying, remembering the love her late mother had always given to her.

She really missed her mother. Today was too much for her heart to handle, knowing her father, whom she respected all along, didn't even consider believing what she said. That man was utterly bewitched by that slut.

Scarlett was very disappointed in her father. However, disappointment could not help her. She had to do something. That's why she decided to leave the house for a while.

After several minutes of sobbing, she removed her contact lenses.

When she saw her turquoise eyes, she couldn't help but smile. Her eye color is dangerous.

She couldn't show others her actual eye color. Because the color of her eyes attracts too many bees out there. She couldn't stand it because many men wanted to know her after they saw her eyes. So she decided to hide her natural eye color since she lives in the US.

Before long…

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Scarlett finished her bath. She wrapped her still-wet hair in a white towel and her body in a bathrobe. When she came out of the bathroom, she was shocked to find Xander leaning against the door frame as his eyes stared intently at her.

"W-Why are you here!?" She couldn't help but ask in a high tone as if she was annoyed to see him in her bedroom. "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

She said as she tightened her bathrobe, worried that it would fall—she wore nothing under her bathrobe.

"S-Sir, X-Xander, please wait outside. I'll be out in a minute..." Scarlett avoided eye contact with him—she hadn't put her contact lenses on.

She felt grateful that her hair was hidden under the towel. It would be troublesome if this man saw her true appearance.

After seeing Xander close the door without saying anything, she felt relieved. She hurriedly walked to the door and locked it.
