A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Last Warning
Anna's POV “I think we have diverted from the main cause of coming here…” I touched Smith slightly on the shoulder. “I know, Anna, but things pop up,” Smith replied. “I can see that you are quite uncomfortable. You can step out for a moment. I should be done with this in the next five minutes!” I wanted to see the end of this. I shook my head and sat down instead. I noticed that things seem awkward for Smith afterwards. To me, this was not something to be proud of. It was illegal. Smith continued and in my presence, he sealed a deal with Charles. Their deal was quite simple. Charles was expected to be his informant and he would help him out in turbulent times. For someone running a business like Smith, having someone like Charles would be instrumental. They rounded it up and we were allowed to see Emily. The cops were already processing her release since we dropped charges already. “How has life been in the cell?” I asked her slowly as I entered where she was kept with Smith behi
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire A Leech
Anna’s POVThree days after Emily was released, we had an august visitor. I was not expecting him at all. It was Sam, my father. He looked quite unstable but I did not know the reason behind his facial expression. I was informed by one of our maids and I had to step out. Smith was not at home at the moment. He had left for his office early that morning.After the pleasantries, I offered him a cup of water which he drank like he had been thirsty for years. This was enough to tell me that there was more to his visit.“I need your help, Anna,” he told me after he had settled down. This sounded urgent and instantly, I dropped my phone and concentrated on him. I was ready to give him a listening ear.“Go ahead, father,” I replied. Sam took a deep breath before he talked. Perhaps, a chunk of flesh was blocking his throat. Recently, I lost concentration easily and I loved to go straight to the point to save time.“I don’t know if you have heard but…” he was saying but I cut him short. I was

Sam’s POV:“Regardless…” I tried again but bad-mouthed Anna didn’t let me talk. Her mouth has gotten so unbridled after she left my abode. She had forgotten to consider that I harboured and fed her for years.“Do not spew that out, Dad,” she told me carefully. “It is shameless and if I was in your place, I would be so embarrassed. I might have considered your plea for help but you dared to ask for two hundred million dollars. Tell me if your whole business is worth that amount!”I said nothing here. I was hurt by all she had said. I had read about Smith’s business on Forbes magazine and I knew he would have two hundred million dollars. Instantly, I regretted my actions. I should not have started that discussion with Anna in the first place.“I will leave,” I stood up immediately. “But I will never forget this disrespect from you, Anna. Bear in mind that your children would do the same to you!”“That will only happen if I treated my kids the way you treated me. All you say are pointles
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Revenge Plan
Sam’s POV I already knew the result even though I hadn’t asked Smith about the money. To him, it might be a joke but it was so important to me. I took a deep breath and thought of the most honourable way to leave his place since all of my tricks and antics had failed me. “Both of you are always up to date in communication…” I said slowly. “I guess she already knows that I am here. You must have told her before I got inside this office!” “Yeah!” he replied. “I love your daughter so much that I would never keep something for her. I am sure you must be so happy and proud of us. I would be proud as well if I were in your shoes!” “What is the use of being proud if both of you won’t help me? You have enough money but you play with my intelligence all because of a meagre amount!” I exclaimed. I was so hurt since my hopes were high already. The reception he gave me would make anyone think he would give me the money I needed. “Both of us are businessmen!” Smith told me slowly. “Bring a bet
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Dan: An Ally
Emily’s POVI wanted to take revenge and get Smith but a few things were necessary. I had to meet with people who had the same motive as me. On the top of my list was Dan.I did not know if he hated either Smith or Anna but it would be quite worthy. He was Anna’s ex-boyfriend and he broke up with her because I was involved. I could still remember how Anna caught me sleeping with him. I never intended to do such but things happened like that. During that period, I was jealous of Anna. Even with the level of maltreatment she faced at home, she was better than me in everything. She beat me in academics, she was a better cook since I could not cook at all. She was a better household manager and luck seemed to be with her always.She attracted people and not mere people. She had people of influence and essence at her fingertips. I was very angry when I heard that she was Dan’s girlfriend. I had known Dan since high school. He was very cute and strikingly rich. Although average in height an
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Dan, Useless Fella
Emily’s POV:I was undoubtedly unhappy by what he said even though it was true. He claimed my mother and I ruined my dad’s company but I thought he got it very wrong. It was not done intentionally.“Your claim holds no water,” I told him carefully. “I have proof that you are still useless but can you show me proof that I got my father’s company bankrupt? You speak trash after listening to groundless rumors!”“Of course, you can choose to hide it,” he replied. “That is your choice and it still doesn’t change the fact that your family is very poor now. If I might take a guess, you have come to me to save your family. You have done well actually. I am still rich enough to save you.”Dan raised his hand and dropped it on my thighs. I was embittered but I took in this in. This was the price I had to pay to achieve my aim.“I guess I am really irrelevant to you. You must see me as a very useless lady with no future in sight,” I told him slowly. Dan sounded really proud because of his wealth
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Survival Instincts
Anna’s POVI sat down on the dining table pondering about what Sam before he left. Smith would be at home anytime soon but I was really bothered. I thought about sharing the issue with our butler but he didn’t seem to be the right person for the task. I was better off keeping it inside my heart than talking to someone and regretting it later.I was going to wait patiently for Smith. I had no job like Sam told me and if anything bad happened to Smith, I might end up poor. I asked for everything from Smith and I survived daily with what he provided. I had my credit card but what would happen to me if we got into a big fight and he freezes it? Anything could happen. I needed to think ahead or else, the future would be really bleak for me.Like I had determined, I waited till Smith came. He announced his presence with his thick body smell. Calm down, it is not odour. Smith was very hygienic and the smell came from the fragrance he used always.“Hey, darling. You seem caught up in a daylig
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Secretary Anna
Anna’s POVI was not surprised to see his shocked glance. It was natural since the whole saga was unexpected.“You want me to fire my secretary and employ you instead? I am sorry but it is very shocking…” Smith said calmly. He looked at me inquisitively. I knew he would be thinking about ‘what the hell is going on in this pretty girl’s brain?’It was totally normal. I could have done the same if I was in her shoes. No one would have thought that I would make such a proposition.“I know it would sadden your current secretary that I am about to take his/her job but it needs to be done,” I said slowly. “I have thought about it and there are only two things that I have wanted to do passionately. The first is to be involved in business. I love being an entrepreneur. The shrills and chills in crucial decision-making excites me a lot and I think I am cut out for it!”“That is understandable…” he replied. “How about the second thing you wanted to do passionately?”I smiled. What I was about t

Anna’s POV“Mission complete from Wolf but he is in danger. He has been shot by a hostile,” Hibiscus reported. “He was shot on the stomach but it avoided his vitals. His car has been destroyed by the explosion and he has confirmed the death of Mark and the other guys. However, he has no car and he is still bleeding.”“Send White Shark to help him now!” I exclaimed. “Also, I never thought of this but now is the best time to end this. Send the anonymous tip to our man in the police. Dan needs to be rooted out tonight for sure. Tell them he plans to escape tonight as well.”“I will rush there to provide support instantly,” White Shark reported.I waited for two minutes before Hibiscus gave his latest report.“I have sent the anonymous tip and I have given Dan’s address. They will be there in fifteen minutes,” Hibiscus replied. “Also, Valentine is back at headquarters. He is recuperating for now.”“Where is the nearest seaport from Dan’s place?” I asked her carefully. “I don’t care where
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Final Cleanup
Anna’s POVYes, it was time to end it all and put them to rest as well. This had to be done delicately. Mark had to come by himself.“How do we bring him in, ma’am?” Hibiscus asked me carefully.“Yeah, he had a phone with only three contact numbers. I think sending a photo of his death will connect us with Mr. Anonymous…” I replied carefully.“It probably will but it might also turn chaotic. There will be more than one person to confront and it is nothing good, you know,” White Shark replied carefully. He already knew he would be leading this operation.“That is why we cannot confront them normally. We will put Daniel Locke’s body in the house I was kidnapped and taken to and also, we will have bombs all around. I don’t know where to get bombs but you can, right?” I asked them carefully.“It is illegal but I have a private dealer. I will work things over with him and set things up within two hours,” White Shark told me calmly. “That saying, I am to detonate the bomb when I see Mark en
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Rounding them up
Anna’s POV“I know him already. He is the captain, Daniel Locke…” I replied. “Hey, White Shark, prepare the interrogation room. I will speak to him when we get to the headquarters. My husband is there too, right?”“He is,” White Shark replied. “Also, he has been strange. He knew before you were attacked so he must have gotten the information from someone else. I asked about the person who told him about the attack but he has been keeping the secret. To avoid matters getting out of hand, I gave no information to him when we were going to rescue you. He will find out when you get back.”I sighed.“Don’t make things too complicated…” I replied. “My husband is not someone that would betray me or any other person. I will find out the truth when I get back so remain calm until then.”----------------When the car stopped at the headquarters, I entered with a classy feeling. I was confident and this topped my personal charts. I entered and I was welcomed by the agents at the headquarters. Hi
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Hunting Game
Anna’s POVThe men who kidnapped me were all gazing at me. For sure, they would think I was crazy. Truly, a person who was kidnapped should not have such nerve. I would need to show them how different I was from them. I didn’t have to panic because of them. Although I wasn’t confident that I wouldn’t get killed, I had faith in Smith and my other men. Surely, White Shark and Hibiscus would be listening to my voice right now. They would save me for sure.“None of these men knows my name!” he told me coldly. “There are four of them but they call me captain and nothing more. Please, stop talking about my name or I’ll be forced to deal with you harshly.”Then I remembered. The most core value of their organisation was secrecy and I could make him do something he would regret if he got angry.“Oh dear!” I exclaimed. “Your captain’s name used to be Daniel Locke but he bears John Locke right now. He is an adult movie star. Go to porn hub and search for his name. He is not too popular but he h
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Kidnapped
Anna’s POVThe driver with shaky hands turned on outside communication mode. Now, I could talk and those people could hear. Andy took charge now.“Hey, you should stop this now…” Andy told them carefully. “I am sure you know the person I am transporting. If you didn’t know, you won’t bother doing this much. If you want money, we’ll pay. Please, remove the bombs and let’s sort this out properly.”“We came here for a mission and it is to kill the person you badly wish to protect. I have no reason to kill you as well so you can pay a million dollars for your freedom…” the leader of the men outside said carefully. I looked at Andy carefully and he nodded pitifully.“I don’t have that much on my bank account but I have it in a safe in my house. I can only wire two hundred thousand dollars right now. If you want a million dollars, you can go to my house,” Andy said carefully.“Two hundred thousand dollars sounds great!” the leader exclaimed. “However, how about a better deal. You don’t get
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Identifying Mr. Anonymous
Anna’s POV“Oh! That’s nice!” I exclaimed. “Find out the fellow and report to me before any other person. As for Wolf, do you have any requests?”“I need some men on standby,” Wolf replied. “The men in Dan’s mansion do not look friendly at all and if I am found out by any means, I have no means of escaping. It is better I leave now before my identity is uncovered. Please, send some men over.”“I will consider,” I replied.“Please,” Wolf begged over the call. “I have a bad feeling about this. Trust me, I am fearless but I also take my instincts seriously. We can do this some other time. I need to get out of here but without those men catching onto me.”I took a deep breath.“Hey, White Shark! Are you on the call too?” I asked.“I am…” White Shark replied. “I guess you wish to know what I think about Wolf’s request. I am right, aren’t I?”“You are,” I smiled. I do this regularly these days. “Let me know what you think about this. It might influence my decision a great deal so tell me wh
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire Catching Onto Us
Anna’s POV“We have a problem, boss,” White Shark stormed into my office. The fact that he called me ‘boss’ made me lit up a smile. It was unexpected but it also felt good for him to acknowledge me. He was formerly one of those men that never believed a lady could be good in other things except on the bed and in the kitchen. I must have changed his mindset. Anyway, he said there was a problem and I needed to hear.“What’s the problem? I’m busy, you know,” I told him carefully.“It is related to this current case and I think we have been found out…” White Shark replied. “I was tailing the CEO of AKS Group as you instructed and I made sure I wasn’t noticed by any of his bodyguards. However, he had secret bodyguards. They weren’t normal bodyguards which I could shake off like that. They seemed to be mercenaries from that secret organisation. I have left no traces though. They shot at my car too even though I never attacked them first.”“Spying on their financier is the same thing as atta

Dan’s POV“Hey!” I shouted. “I know you don’t have any regard for me but just shut your lying tongue or I will cut it out. I never put you in danger. Since I shed your identity to the other guys, how many attempted murders has occurred?”“It was only yesterday,” Mark replied calmly. “No one knows if I will be killed tomorrow. You don’t understand how things works here. I can see the reason why your father does not trust you. You might be the end of this organization.”I slapped him. I knew he could have moved before then but he stood there, breathing hard. I was scared he would punch me but he only stood there. I was the one who slapped him but I was the one afraid. Sammie was still in the room and I could not bear to act like a weakling.“Listen up!” I shouted at him. “I am not a perfect human and no one is perfect. If I am lacking, you tell me instead of telling me I am not capable. Do you know how much it hurts? You should know already.”“I fucking know!” Mark shouted in the loudes
A Bride For The Bankrupt Billionaire In Urgency
Dan’s POV“We have a problem!” Mark told me over the phone. He was formerly known as Anonymous to me before I got to know his true identity. I heaved a sigh now.“You have never called me for something good. It is always a problem. This must be what made my father age so quickly and even fall sick. Some rest and peace would have been so helpful…” I told him carefully over the phone.“But you still need to listen. There is a reason to believe that someone wants to hurt our financier. Do you remember him? The CEO of AKS Group is the person I mean…” Mark told me carefully. “He is a billionaire and he has bodyguards watching over him. However, our organization provided some undercover mercenaries to keep him safe. Today, they discovered someone watching him.”“Did you capture the person?” I asked shortly.“Unfortunately, we were unable to capture the person behind this. Our men managed to capture the plate number and we are currently tracking the owner of the car. We need your directives
