Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 62
Valerie's POV Dressed in dark jeans and a white shirt, his hair looks messy and perfect, making me stare at him from my peripheral view as I slide in beside him in the car.The car roars to life immediately while we sit quietly without a word till we get to the location, my gaze shifting from the car door to Ryan who has a smile on his face.When he told me we were going out, I wanted to protest but he won't hear any of that. I didn't expect he would bring me here either.Why bring me to a party of all places? I thought he was going to take me out on a date again as he has done before."A party, Ryan?" I ask in complete disbelief with my mouth dropped open.He nods and steps down from the car. Before I can process what is happening, he opens the car door for me to get out.I step down, excitement filling me up at the thought of partying tonight. After Ryan and I got married, the first time we came to party was because I forced him here.I practically dragged him here and the day didn

Ryan's POV The scowl I have on leaves my face the moment she stares up to meet my gaze. She looks so drunk and cute and I can't help but let my anger dissolve.She is good at getting me mad. Then the next minute, my anger will be gone."Who the hell was that?!" I question her. She laughs and shakes her head."I have no slightest idea", she doesn't look like she cares about who he is but I do. What if I wasn't here? What if I didn't come to the party with her, what would have happened?I know how much she loves parties and I wonder about all the crazy things she must have done before we got married.I know she had a boyfriend and obviously, she goes to parties with him but I can't help but worry about the sort of intimacy between them even after knowing that they never had sex.She twirls around with her back to me as she puts my hands around her waist up to her stomach. Suddenly, I feel hard.Shit!Is she purposely grinding her body to mine?Like someone who has no care in the world

Ryan's POV Her back hits the door as she wraps her warm soft hands around the back of my neck, pushing me to the edge.Her lips collide with mine instantly, making my head go blank. The kiss is awkward as I fumble with her dress, desperate to touch her and feel her naked skin on my body.A low moan escapes her lips as we kiss roughly, making me groan and bite her lips softly.That sound does a lot of unexplainable things to me.She moves away from the door and I open my eyes to see that we are approaching her bed. We could barely take our hands off each other as John drove us home. I am 100 percent sure this is because she is drunk but I keep denying it because I feel she feels sure about this. As much as I want.She falls on her back on the bed and I fall on top of her, slamming my lips to hers again in desperation. The absence of her lips on mine is driving me crazy.My whole body aches with the need for her. I feel hot and cold at the same time, wishing this will never end and I w

Valerie's POV With a groan and a banging headache, I step down from the bed, glancing around to see if Ryan came back to sleep here last night or not.The other bed is empty and seems untouched. Rubbing a finger on my forehead, I walk to the fridge to get some water. Suddenly, I remember I told Ryan to go out of the room last night which must be the reason why he didn't come back.Maybe he is in the other room.After drinking a glassful of water, I stroll to the door, the headache still very much present.I take the door out and move towards my room, wondering if he slept there or somewhere else. I was really harsh last night and I feel bad for sending him out of his room. I feel stupid for initiating the heated kiss which almost led to something else and I couldn't help my rudeness. I just don't want him to think otherwise. But now, I can't help but ponder over what he thinks of me.I know he is doing all he can to make me happy. I was happy he took me to a party last night but I

Ryan's POVWith force, I push her away and turn to go back when I see Valerie standing right behind me with her mouth agape.I twirl around to face Celina who has a big grin of victory on her face. Now I know why she did that.I was too shocked at first to even push her away because I didn't expect that. We were talking and the next thing she does is kiss me out of the blue.I shouldn't have let her come in here. I should have dropped her off before driving in.She purposely kissed me because of Valerie. From behind me, I hear the sound of Valerie's running feet and I know she must have gone back into the house."What the hell is the meaning of that?" I bark at her in anger.The grin wipes off immediately as she replaces it with an innocent look. "What are you talking about?" she demands, faking ignorance. This isn't her fault. I shouldn't have listened to Mother when she asked me to help her and also listen to what she had to say."Get out! Don't ever set foot in here again!" I rai

Valerie's POV The darkness of insecurity envelops me as I stare into his blue eyes, watching me intensely before sighing.This reaction that I get from him every single time is what makes me more curious about who the damn woman is. If I wasn't curious about her before now, what happened a few minutes ago is enough to make me more curious about her.Celina Sebastian is not a woman I like. I don't know if it's because I saw her with Fred or the fact that she had a past with Ryan.I keep telling myself that she must have dated Ryan in the past. I called her his ex-girlfriend but whenever I think deeply about this, I keep denying it because Ryan was never in a relationship which means there is something more to it.Ryan seems to dislike her. She seems to like him. What answer does that give me?I don't know. The more I ask these questions, the more confused and curious I become.I don't know why I am pissed even after knowing that Ryan dislikes her but I guess it's because he might star

Ryan's POV Because I had to devise all ways to persuade her out of the house, I vowed to make our date thirty minutes only.Despite having everything ready, I am still as nervous as hell because I don't know if she will like everything I prepared for her and also because of the limited time we have.I am doing everything within my power to please her. I am supposed to ignore her so many times but I just can't help how I feel.Even after confessing my love to her several times, directly and indirectly, she always keeps mute, making me confused about what she really wants and what I need to do next.The car stops right in front of the restaurant and I take the door out to meet her. As she steps out of the car, her pointed heels come into view before her whole body appears, making me take a deep breath because of how breathtaking she looks.Her red beautiful sexy spaghetti strapless gown stops right on her knees. Her hair is fully down and she has full makeup on, different from the on

Valerie's POV Warmth spread through my body at the thought of having a special day with him. It replaces the displeasure I felt for his actions earlier and I continue to take in his features as he stares out of the window till the car stops.Why is he always sweet and kind to me despite everything I have done?"Here we are", his deep voice interrupts my thoughts and he gets out of the car to open the door for me. "Close your eyes", he whispers into my ears the moment he pulls the car door open and leans fully in so that I can smell his lovely cologne.I do not oblige to his command but continue to watch him, wondering what it would feel like to be madly in love with him. Will he still be as sweet as he is to me right now? Will he be faithful like he is to me right now? Will he love me forever and not stop loving me for a second?The way I react to his touch tonight is confusing the hell out of me. His actions keep confusing me too and I don't know what to do or say to him about how

Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 101
THIRTY-EIGHT MONTHS LATER Valerie's POV With a frustrated groan, I give up on the dress as I watch myself in the mirror, thinking of what to do about this mess.The seamstress should be blamed for this but I am not in the mood to blame anyone at the moment. What I want and need right now is another dress that fits in and can accommodate me and my big belly.The knock on the door pulls me out of my thoughts and the seamstress comes in with another beautiful white dress, making my face light up and my worry vanish into thin air.She smiles back at me when she notices the relief on my face.My makeup is done. My hair is done. My shoe is ready. My jewelry is on. What is left is my white dress.Just then, the door opens again as noises fill the air and Kayla and Kyle stroll in pushing each other playfully. Kayla is dressed in a Floral Bow Tulle Ivory Cap-Sleeve Princess Pleated Ball Gown while Kyle is in an Ink Blue Stanford Suit makes me smile broadly.My wish and that of Ryan came

Valerie's POV His lips capture mine as his hands work on my long hair while I cling to him as close as I can because I can't get enough of him. As he kisses the life out of me, a small groan leaves my mouth and suddenly, he pulls away, making me flutter my eyes open.With a smile, he caresses my face. I concentrate on his expression trying so hard to figure out what he must be thinking.I made us come here for a good reason and I know he is a little sad about it. Today is the final judgment for Mr. Lorenzo, Anita, Brenda, and Celina. Ryan was getting prepared to go to the court when I suggested we take a day trip here. I wanted to see the mountains and more of nature and coming here was the best idea.I didn't want him to go to court to be reminded about the death of his kind Mother. I didn't want to go either because I don't want to feel any iota of sympathy for any of those criminals, especially Brenda.She must have thought she would get out of this because I am Ryan's wife. I g
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 99
Ryan's POV The denial and her expression said it all; she doesn't want the baby and it takes me back to my shell of grieving.Hearing about the news of a baby coming made me forget my sorrows for a second and reduced the pain of losing someone who means so much to me.I am not superstitious but it felt as if the baby was going to be a replacement for my dead Mother. Now, my hope has been shattered by Valerie's outburst and confidence about not being pregnant.Her parents were extremely shocked too. It proved to me that I was wrong about her joking over a serious matter like that.I didn't say a word. I just remained quiet till when it was time to discharge her and we came home.It's been days and Valerie isn't saying anything yet about the baby. If she doesn't feel the baby, then am I supposed to wait till her belly begins to protrude before bringing this issue up and resolving it once and for all?The baby is a blessing. Coming to us at this time is a blessing, why then does she ke
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 98
Valerie's POV With her beautiful black hair around her shoulder, she smiles down at me, making a cold spine run down my spine.She is dead, isn't she?Then why am I seeing her and why is she smiling at me?Did I do something wrong to her and she is smiling instead of reprimanding me?Am I dead? Why am I seeing a dead woman?Ryan and I were at the graveyard where she was buried. She is dead but I can't seem to remember the last thing that happened before I got here.Is she alive? Is she hiding somewhere just to be safe from that monster she calls a husband?No, I shake my head involuntarily. This can't be. I saw her cold feet and a pale body. She was extremely cold all over and heavy. She is indeed dead.With a low gasp, I try to twirl around so I can flee from the dead but my legs are stuck on the ground. I look down at my feet and they are buried deep in the ground.I almost let out a yelp in fright but she stretches an arm at me, still smiling brightly. "My child."My child?Despit
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 97
Ryan's POV Ignoring the emptiness I suddenly felt when her body was lowered feet down the ground, I glanced away to stop myself from breaking down but it was impossible because the action alone hit me hard.She is gone. Never to be seen again.I want to break down now but I can not. I am a man. I have a wife who is looking up to me. The way Valerie reacted to her death was shocking and I have to control myself so she doesn't end up crying again.But I can't hold it back.How can I when this woman meant so much to me? Is it the pain of losing her when I least expected it? Or the pain of thinking about the people who killed her?Maybe if it had been a natural death, I wouldn't be in so much anguish. Maybe if it weren't planned by the people I know, I wouldn't be hurt this way.Why her? Why Mother?Everybody loved her. She was a great woman. She was wealthy but no one knew she was because her husband was handling everything except, of course, her supermarket which is now closed down.Lo
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 96
Valerie's POV Moodiness and lack of appetite are now Ryan's favorite pastime. He barely spoke a word to me last night after we left the police station without seeing the Commissioner who had already left before we got there.We couldn't see the suspects either and we had to sleep in a hotel nearby.I was able to catch some sleep but Ryan could barely sleep a wink. I feel his pain and I hope he gets over this soonest.He almost left me still sleeping in our hotel room this morning so he could come to the police station without me. The running sound of the shower woke me up and I jumped down from the bed.I ended up not taking a shower because he was in a rush to come here.Now that we are here, we are still yet to see Mr. Lewis and I wonder what exactly is going on. I had to excuse myself to come to get us some coffee as breakfast before he comes.As soon as I pay the cafe man, I hold the two cups of coffee in my hand and turn round to take the door out when I bump into a hard wall,
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 95
Ryan's POV HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER, RYAN! I LIED.These were her first words to me. If only I was there before the last moment, I would have heard her say them to me herself instead of writing them down.I wanted so desperately to hear the whole truth from her but I wanted to give it time. I wanted it to be the right time to ask so she wouldn't give me an excuse not to talk about it but now she is gone.I will never hear her talk to me again.I REGRET LYING TO YOU, SON. IT WAS NOT IN MY INTENTION TO DO THAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WAS WORTH IT. APPARENTLY, HE ISN'T WORTH IT.I THOUGHT I COULD CHANGE HIM. I THOUGHT I WAS DOING A GREAT JOB CHANGING HIM FROM THE MAN HE USED TO BE BUT NOW THAT IT IS TOO LATE, I REALIZE HOW MUCH DAMAGE I HAVE CAUSED TO YOU AND MYSELF.YOUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER DIED A MONTH BEFORE YOU CAME TO THE WORLD. DAVIS STOOD BESIDE ME AND HE WAS LIKE A FATHER FIGURE. I NEVER KNEW HE HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES.I REGRET HAVING YOU USE HIS SURNAME INSTEAD OF DARCEL'S NAME. I REGRET
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 94
Valerie's POV The sight of her cold feet almost sends me spiraling to the floor as I let out a loud gasp with my hands flying to my mouth.She is no longer the woman I came here to visit yesterday. She is pale white and gone.This is when it suddenly dawns on me.When I heard Celina telling Ryan over the phone that his Mother was dead, I almost laughed out loud because I wasn't shocked like Ryan was. It felt like a joke.How could she be dead? We saw her yesterday, she was getting better than ever before, then how could she be dead today?The added information about the attack on the hospital is enough to make me believe as well as the sight before me.She didn't die a natural death. She didn't die due to complications from the surgery. She didn't die as a result of the fake cancer diagnosis. She was killed.I begin to go down slowly as I continue to watch her from where I stand. The sight of her feet is doing unimaginable things to my reasoning.She shouldn't be dead. That bastard
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 93
Ryan's POVShe is gulping down the whole content of the wine and looking away to make me think she wasn't staring at me peeling off the baggy shirt and trouser she gave to me on behalf of her dad.All of a sudden, I feel like taunting her a little about it. This is definitely not the first time she is seeing me naked, so why is she uncomfortable with it?Well, maybe it's because it's the second time. We have had sex only once and that was the first time she saw my nudity and also the first time I saw the beauty beneath her clothes.I know this is definitely not the right time for this but I can't help it. Coming here was the right decision and I feel more than relieved to have gotten help from Mr. Lewis."Hey", she shoots to her feet abruptly as I approach her and she begins to walk to the door, hiding her face from looking down at my naked body.Laugh erupts from my stomach, not at her action but at the fact that the door is locked and the keys are with me.There is no escape route.
