The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband Chapter 35 PDF Free -The world saw him as a charismatic billionaire, a man who had everything he could ever want. But behind the façade of success and wealth, he harbored a secret life, one that threatened to unravel his carefully constructed world.
Sebastian Knight was the epitome of the American dream. He had risen from humble beginnings to become a titan of industry, his name synonymous with innovation and luxury. His empire spanned across various sectors, from cutting-edge technology to high-end real estate, each venture a testament to his sharp intellect and ruthless ambition.
To the public, Sebastian was the epitome of success, a man who had achieved everything he set out to do. He was admired for his business acumen, his philanthropy, and his seemingly perfect life. But beneath the surface, Sebastian was a man deeply troubled, haunted by a past he desperately tried to suppress.
His double life began as a means of escape, a way to shed the burden of his public persona and indulge in a world of anonymity and risk. He would often disappear for days at a time, leaving his luxurious penthouse and venturing into the darker corners of the city, seeking thrills and experiences that his privileged life could never provide.
What started as an occasional indulgence soon became an obsession. Sebastian found himself drawn to the adrenaline rush of the underworld, the thrill of living on the edge. He would gamble in clandestine casinos, participate in illicit races, and even engage in acts of petty theft, all under the cover of darkness and a carefully crafted disguise.
His double life provided him with an outlet for his pent-up frustrations and suppressed desires, a way to feel alive in a world that had become increasingly monotonous and predictable. But the more he delved into this clandestine existence, the more he risked exposure, the more he threatened to lose the life he had worked so hard to build.
One fateful night, Sebastian’s carefully constructed world began to crumble. His secret identity was compromised, and his double life was exposed to the world. The media frenzy was relentless, painting him as a hypocrite, a fraud who had deceived the public for years.
His business empire began to falter as investors lost confidence, and his carefully cultivated image was shattered. Sebastian’s world was spiraling out of control, and he was facing the prospect of losing everything he had built.
In the midst of his personal turmoil, Sebastian found himself drawn to the one person who truly understood him, a woman from his past who had always seen through his carefully constructed facade. Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, confronting the demons of his past and unraveling the secrets that had haunted him for so long.
As Sebastian grappled with the consequences of his actions, he realized that his double life was not merely an escape, but a manifestation of a deeper need for connection and authenticity. He had spent years hiding his true self from the world, but now he was forced to confront his past and embrace the person he truly was.
The path to redemption was not easy, but Sebastian was determined to rebuild his life, to create a future that was not built on deception and secrecy. He learned to embrace his flaws, to accept his past, and to live a life that was true to himself.
Natalie propped her cheek on her palm and looked at her paycheck with a worried look. Although she had just received her salary, it was just a drop in the bucket for Hannah’s surgery.
“You just got your paycheck today. Why do you still look unhappy?” her colleague asked, frowning. One look at Natalie told her that she was upset. “Would you like to have a barbecue with me tonight?”
Natalie shook her head, smiling. “How about next time? I have plans tonight.”
“Okay. See you tomorrow.” The colleague smiled and took her bag to leave.
Natalie slowly packed up her laptop. When she was about to leave, someone patted her back.
It was Christopher. He was dressed in a brown wind breaker, looking fresh and pristine. He smiled at her, his eyes twinkling with delight.
“Ready to go? How about I walk you to the bus stop? What’s wrong? You look upset. Having trouble at work?”
Natalie clasped the straps of her backpack and smiled. “No. I was just thinking about something. By the way, Chris, are you free tonight? I just got my paycheck today and was thinking of taking you out for dinner.” She had already promised to take Christopher out, so she planned to invite him for dinner.
She didn’t have enough money for Hannah’s operation, anyway. Spending money on a meal didn’t seem like a big deal. After all, she had to return his favor.
“Yeah. I came across a new western restaurant. I want to give it a try,” Christopher suggested, feeling both surprised and flattered.
He pressed the elevator button. As the door closed, he examined her face and asked, “Is the man who picked you up last time your boyfriend?”
This question had been lingering in his mind ever since he saw Natalie with Sebastian. Even though he seemed hesitant to question her, he wanted to find an opportunity to find out about Sebastian.
Perhaps the man was her cousin, friend, or relative. After all, he didn’t look like the type Natalie would date.
The man looked like a beast and didn’t seem like the right match for her.
“You saw him the other day?” Natalie looked at him, hesitant to reveal their relationship. “That man is…”
Just as she wondered whether to tell the truth or not, her phone rang.
“Sorry, I have to answer this call.”
Natalie quickly walked out of the elevator and headed to the bathroom. “What’s up?” she asked in a hushed voice.
“When will you come back? I’m hungry,” Sebastian said. Natalie could picture him lying on the sofa, frowning.
“There are sandwiches in the fridge. Have them first.”
After a moment’s thought, Natalie felt that since she was married to Sebastian now, she had to tell him that she was going to have dinner with another man. “I’m taking Christopher out for dinner to pay back his favor last time. I might be a little late.”
The man remained silent for a while. “You’re not even sure if he was the one who helped you. Why do you have to pay him back?” he asked coldly.
Natalie bit her lip. “But I’ve already invited him. It wouldn’t be nice to cancel the plan all of a sudden.”
She heard the rustling of clothes. Then, Sebastian spoke, “I’ll come with you. Which restaurant?”
After telling him the restaurant’s name, Natalie walked back to Christopher. “Let’s go.”
They passed two streets and arrived at the opulent western restaurant.
“Well, I guess someone is going to join us for dinner. I’m sorry, Chris,” Natalie stuttered as they reached the door of the restaurant.
“It doesn’t matter.” Although Christopher sounded relaxed, he immediately figured out the situation. “Is it a male or a female friend?” he asked, trying to sound relaxed.
When Natalie was about to answer him, she saw Sebastian standing outside the restaurant. The setting sun cast a golden hue on his towering frame, outlining his features.
‘Wow! He has arrived soon.’
Christopher followed her gaze and saw a tall man with broad shoulders wearing a vintage black jacket. He looked like a mature man with fortitude yet seemed arrogant at the same time. His eye-catching features made Christopher gulp with insecurity.
“This is my husband, Sebastian. This is Christopher… I mentioned him over the phone,” Natalie said as she awkwardly walked to Sebastian.
Christopher’s eyes widened; his jaw dropped in horror. “What? When did you get married?”
He couldn’t help but look Sebastian up and down, who was also staring at him. It was, after all, a matter of self-esteem between the two men.
Natalie broke into a cold sweat. She forced a smile, trying to hide her fear because Sebastian’s sharp gaze was fixed on Christopher. He looked unhappy.
He put one arm around Natalie’s shoulder, suppressing his anger. “Haven’t you told others that you’re married and have a husband?” he asked in a low voice.
Natalie’s head started to pound. It was hard for her to deal with this matter with ease. Normally, she wouldn’t admit that she was married—especially since she had married in Cassie’s stead. If people knew that she was married, their little secret would be exposed.
Forcing an apologetic smile, she tried to laugh it off and said, “I told Chris just now, didn’t I?”
Sebastian snorted but said nothing.
The atmosphere among the three seemed to be cold as ice. Natalie had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the way into the restaurant.
After they sat down, Christopher excused himself and went to the bathroom to calm himself down. He just couldn’t accept the fact that Natalie was married out of the blue.
Ever since he had taken his seat, Sebastian hadn’t even glanced at Natalie. While flipping through the menu, Natalie nudged him gently. “Are you mad at me?”
The man rested his chin on his hand as he skimmed through the menu. His eyes were cloudy, and he didn’t even look at her when she tried to talk to him. With a small, stiff smile, he replied, “No. Leave me alone.”
Disappointed, Natalie pursed her lips but didn’t say anything more.
“Did you two order already?” When Christopher returned, he smiled at them politely.
He could tell that there was some tension between the couple, but he was still flustered and didn’t know what to say.
“Not yet. Chris, is there anything in particular that you want to eat?” Natalie handed him the menu with a small smile.
Throughout the course of the meal, nobody spoke a word. Only Natalie and Christopher would occasionally make a comment, only for the conversation to die shortly after.
When he was done with his steak, Sebastian sank into the back of his chair, giving off a cold aura.
Just then, Cassie and her friends entered the restaurant.
“Wow… Look over there, Cassie. Is he a celebrity?”
Cassie followed the gaze of her friend and found Sebastian sitting at a table. He was incredibly handsome, but seemed oblivious to the fact that he had become the center of attention.
“Wait. I know him…” A smug smile appeared on Cassie’s face, but then the corners of her mouth dropped when she saw that Sebastian was accompanied by both Natalie and Christopher.
Two handsome men and a beautiful woman were all seated together. The scene was quite eye-catching.

Cassie gritted her teeth with rage.
She had once tried to flirt with Christopher, but he immediately rejected her. Natalie, on the other hand, always seemed to be surrounded by men. She already had Sebastian, but now she even had the audacity to hook up with Christopher.
Cassie tried to comfort herself, telling herself that Natalie was nothing but rubbish. Maybe Christopher was with them now because he knew Sebastian.
“Is that so? Introduce us to him! But the gorgeous girl next to him is probably his girlfriend.”
“You should see her without makeup. She’s hideous. You look much better than her. Anyway, I’ll just go there and say hi. You guys can order ahead.” Before waiting for a response from her friends, Cassie sauntered over to Natalie’s table.
Natalie had been threatening her parents, saying that if they didn’t give her money, she would tell Sebastian the secret of her being a substitute. Yet she had the gall to have dinner at such a high-end restaurant.
Today, Cassie was determined to reveal Natalie’s hideous true colors in front of Sebastian and Christopher.
Natalie and Christopher were racking their brains for a topic when they suddenly smelled a pungent perfume.
“My dear younger sister, you’ve pushed our parents too far. How could you come to such an expensive restaurant for dinner?”
Batting her eyelashes piteously, Cassie emerged at their table, tears streaming down her face.
“Our family is struggling financially, and our parents are bleeding dry. Why can’t you think about our family and stop spending so much money? You squander the family funds like this every single day. You’re an adult already, but you keep demanding money from our parents. Sooner or later, they’ll jump off a building from the pressure!”
Cassie’s voice wasn’t that loud, but she spoke clearly enough for everyone to hear her. She wept and whined so incessantly that all the guests in the restaurant glanced at their table.
Then, the hall was filled with hushed whispers.
“Oh, what a scandal!”
“How could that girl squander her parents’ money like this? What a parasite! And are those two her toy boys?”
“If I had a daughter like her, I would’ve died from anger already. She even has the audacity to date two men at the same time. Young people nowadays really have no shame!”
Sebastian’s handsome face immediately darkened.
Christopher lowered his gaze helplessly. This dinner was awkward to begin with. Now, he was even being slandered.
Natalie unhurriedly put down her knife and fork and calmly looked at the woman with heavy makeup.
She knew that Cassie just wanted to smear her name in front of all these people.
But she also knew that Cassie was an idiot. She was wearing a Chanel dress, an Hermes handbag, and a Dior necklace. How dare she talk about being frugal while dressed like that?
“I asked you for money because you owe me money. Isn’t it only natural for people to pay off their debts?” Natalie’s voice was clear yet calm.
Tears rolled down Cassie’s cheeks uncontrollably. She sobbed, “Mom and Dad took good care of you, yet this is how you repay them! They really can’t afford to give you money now. We are family. How can you bear to treat them like this?”
Then, she suddenly took her necklace off and threw it at Natalie, crying even louder. “We really don’t have the money! This necklace must be worth something. Take it as a payment of our debt! Please don’t threaten Mom and Dad anymore!”
Cassie carefully painted herself as the poor daughter who had been forced to sell off her own things for the sake of her parents. Natalie, on the other hand, was made to look like the cold-blooded creditor who was ungrateful to her parents and was only after their money.
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Natalie took the necklace without hesitation. Glancing at Cassie’s Hermes handbag, she said calmly, “I think that Chanel dress might be worth something… And that Hermes handbag, too—actually, isn’t that a limited edition piece? In that case, I won’t make things difficult for you. You don’t have to strip your clothes. Just give me the bag as partial compensation for your debts.”
Cassie’s pitiful and painful expression immediately went stiff.
This was her only Hermes Birkin. She had been waiting to get one forever. It had only been a few days since she got it. Even if it was second-hand, it was still cost her a fortune. How could she just give it to Natalie?
“These… these are all fake! They’re useless to you. Anyway, you should stop coming to such fancy restaurants and save money for our parents!” As she spoke, Cassie hurriedly covered her bag.
Natalie crossed her arms over her chest and looked around at the guests in the restaurant. “Do you think everyone here is an idiot? As you said, this is a high-end restaurant. Do you think that the people who can afford to eat here can’t tell whether a bag is real or fake? Even if you insist that you’re using the fake, I can still take it. After all, it’s still worth some money. Give it to me!”
Hearing this, Cassie was panic-stricken. Everyone around her was eyeing her and whispering to each other. She was caught in a dilemma now.
She gritted her teeth angrily. She had planned to make things difficult for Natalie by pretending to be pitiful, thinking that Natalie would just take it in silence since they were in public place.
Never in her wildest dreams would she have expected Natalie to act so audaciously, not caring about the people around her at all.
In the past, Natalie had always been the submissive and silent one in their family. How could she change into another person overnight? Had marriage really changed her?
Heartbroken, Cassie reluctantly set her Hermes Birkin on the table. She took out her wallet, phone, and cosmetics from the bag then threw it at Natalie. “There! Happy?”
“Wait, I want to see what’s in your wallet.” Natalie smiled sardonically. She knew that Cassie liked carrying a lot of cash with her.
“Don’t push it!” Cassie hissed through gritted teeth, glaring at Natalie murderously.
Natalie sneered indifferently. “What? You said you didn’t have money, right? So I’m letting you pay off your debt with your belongings. Isn’t it only reasonable? Besides, there should be no money in your wallet, right? I mean, you’ve been talking all night about how our family is struggling financially. Why are you so nervous? The next time you want to slander me, don’t dress like that. It’s one thing to be unable to pay off your debts, but it’s another thing to simply refuse to pay. You’ll have bad credit.”
The people around them felt there was an inside story, so their opinions gradually changed.
The opulent restaurant housed wealthy diners. Many people could tell that Cassie’s attire and accessories were all real deals from renowned brands by merely looking at her.
“Well, it looks like she is the shameless one. She wears only luxury brands. I’m sure she is from a wealthy family.”
“I guess she is slandering the girl only to avoid paying the debt.”
“Damn it! I didn’t expect the situation would reverse.”
Cassie felt a pang of regret. But she opened the wallet anyway that was stacked with money.
“Give it to me.” With a faint smile, Natalie stood up and took out the money from Cassie’s wallet. She carefully counted the bills and neatly arranged them. “Eight thousand dollars is also money. Thank you, Miss Quinn.”
Cassie had nothing left now apart from her clothes and shoes. “Just wait and see!” she said through gritted teeth.
Chapter 35 – The Double Life Of My Billionaire Husband Novel Free Online (Natalie & Sebastian)
I woke up early the next morning, my heart still pounding from the previous night’s events. I couldn’t believe that I had kissed my billionaire husband, and not just any kiss, but a passionate, mind-blowing kiss that had left me breathless and wanting more.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. As I was looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t help but smile. I felt like a new woman, alive and full of possibilities.
When I went downstairs, I saw that Daniel was already up and making breakfast. He smiled at me when he saw me and greeted me with a good morning. I couldn’t help but blush.
“Good morning,” I replied shyly.
“Did you sleep well?” he asked.
“I slept like a baby,” I said, smiling.
We ate breakfast in silence, but I could tell that Daniel was thinking about something. Finally, he cleared his throat and said, “I need to talk to you.”
My heart skipped a beat. I had a feeling that this was about last night.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I know that what happened last night was wrong,” he said. “I’m married, and I shouldn’t have kissed you.”
I felt a pang of disappointment, but I nodded my head.
“I know,” I said. “But I can’t help but feel like there was something more there than just a kiss.”
Daniel looked at me searchingly for a moment before finally nodding his head.
“I feel the same way,” he admitted.
I couldn’t believe it. Did that mean that he felt the same way about me as I did about him?
“What does that mean?” I asked.
Daniel shrugged. “I don’t know,” he said. “I just know that I can’t ignore what I feel for you.”
I felt a surge of hope. Maybe there was a chance for us after all.
“What are we going to do?” I asked.
Daniel leaned in and kissed me again. This time, the kiss was even more passionate than the one before.
“I don’t know,” he said, pulling away from me. “But I know that we can’t keep doing this.”
I nodded in agreement. We couldn’t keep living in this secret world forever. We had to figure out a way to be together, or we had to end things once and for all.

As I entered the room, the air was thick with anticipation. The other members of the board of directors were all seated around the large mahogany table, their eyes fixed on me. I could feel their curiosity and their suspicion.
“Ms. Henderson,” the chairman of the board began, his voice cold and stern, “we’re here to discuss your husband’s recent behavior.”
I took a deep breath and tried to steady my nerves. I knew what they were going to say. They were going to accuse my husband, Richard, of misconduct. They were going to say that he had been using his position as CEO of the company to line his own pockets.
I had always known that Richard was a bit of a gambler. He had a weakness for fast cars, expensive clothes, and luxurious vacations. But I had never imagined that he would be so reckless, so irresponsible.
“I know what you’re going to say,” I said, my voice trembling. “You’re going to say that Richard has been stealing from the company. But I swear to you, he’s innocent.”
The chairman leaned forward, his eyes narrowed. “We have evidence, Ms. Henderson,” he said. “Evidence that your husband has been embezzling millions of dollars from the company.”
I felt a wave of despair wash over me. I knew that if Richard was convicted of embezzlement, he would go to jail. And I would be left alone, with nothing but a mountain of debt.
“I don’t believe you,” I said, my voice barely a whisper. “Richard would never do something like that.”
The chairman sighed heavily. “I’m afraid I have to disagree with you, Ms. Henderson,” he said. “The evidence is overwhelming.”
I sat there, feeling numb, as the chairman laid out the details of Richard’s crimes. He had been using a shell company to funnel money away from the company. He had been investing the money in risky ventures, hoping to make a quick profit. But instead, he had lost everything.
When the chairman finished speaking, there was a long silence. I could feel the weight of their judgment pressing down on me.
“We’re going to have to terminate your husband’s employment,” the chairman said finally. “And we’re going to press charges against him.”
I nodded numbly, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew that my life was about to change forever.
As I left the meeting, I felt like I was in a daze. I couldn’t believe that everything had fallen apart so quickly. Just a few months ago, Richard and I had been living the dream. We had a beautiful home, a loving family, and everything we could ever want. But now, it was all gone.
I drove home, tears streaming down my face. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I didn’t know how I was going to make ends meet. And I didn’t know how I was going to face my children.
When I got home, Richard was waiting for me. He looked pale and drawn, his eyes filled with fear and regret.
“I’m so sorry,” he said, his voice breaking. “I never meant to hurt you.”
I looked at him, my heart aching. I knew that he was sincere. But his apology couldn’t erase the damage that he had done.
“What are we going to do, Richard?” I asked, my voice trembling.
He took my hands in his and looked into my eyes. “We’re going to get through this,” he said. “I love you, and I’ll never leave you.”
I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. I knew that he was right. We would get through this. Together.
