LOVE AND LIES: THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE'S RETURN CHAPTER 49
GAIAI walked up to him at the door, taking in his appearance. He had on a three piece dark blue suit, with some strands of hair falling over his face and the heel of his shoes clicking against the tile. I had noticed that I wasn't the only one affected by his presence. The guests around had stopped and turned around to look at him, obviously wondering what he came to do here. “Is this the party?”Was he back to being an asshole?“Truth is the invitations were sent out a bit too early but it's all good. We can start the party early.”He scoffed and put his hands in his pockets, looking around the house like it irritated him.“So this is your house.”“Is there something wrong with it?”My eyes fell to the door, thinking it was Javon who was walking in. It wasnt. “Is there? I was just stating a fact. Is he always behind you?” He asked, pointing at Evan. I didn't even know Evan was behind me. “It’s his job, isn't it?”I can't deal with this right now. “The maids will attend to you

GAIABella took responsibility for Juan while I rendezvoused with the guests. I moved from table to table, talking about how their hair looked different and how their dresses looked like something right out of my dreams. That was one of the lines I'd learnt from my mother. After a while, I didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore. It felt more natural, relating and speaking with them. But as much as I was swamped up in the party, I kept looking around, hoping to see a particular somebody. But someone else kept catching my eyes. “Where the hell is he?” I whispered. And why the hell were my eyes always catching Mr Miller’s?“Evan, have you tried his number again?” He nodded. “I have. It was ringing before but now, it's going right to voicemail.”Great. Just great. “Is everything fine?” Bella joined us. “No, it's not. I'm about to disappoint my son again and I can't do anything about it.”The MC tapped on the mic and cleared his throat. “Please gather round. The ceremony is about to

Javon“And what about the financial reports for the first quarter? Is that being evaluated?”A file was passed to me and I opened it and dropped it on top of several other files that had been passed to me. Today was another meeting between the Heads of Departments and my butt was already sore. It sounded like they all had had the same voices now since everyone had been talking for the past three hours. I was barely even listening.“Can we take a break after this? Half an hour and we’ll get back to it.”They hastily agreed and we wrapped that section up quickly. As I walked back to my office, I couldn't sit so I just stood by my window and faced outside. Gaia’s call had come in earlier today to set the time for our meeting. Hopefully, we’d be done with today’s meeting by the time I have to be there. Even if we weren’t done, I would have to leave. I couldn’t miss today for anything. The door opened and my secretary walked in.“Sir, there’s someone here to see you.”I don’t remember

GAIAWe had started work. Well, I had started work and I was having to go to court almost every day. It made me wonder whether these people didn’t have a lawyer before. I had more work than I could Handle but I was trying. “Madam, you have a meeting with Mr Miller this afternoon. Are you still on or should I cancel it?”I didn’t even know that I didn't answer her. My mind was focused on something else. Before she came in, my phone screen lit up and I saw it was a text. “I’m sorry.-jV.”He was saying that he was sorry one week after he failed to show up? Seriously? What exactly did this man think he was doing? Did he think he could show up when he wanted to and not show up?“No, don’t cancel it. Just give me a few moments and get Evan to get things ready.”I don’t have the time to think about Javon or the way he was acting. My mind flashed back to that night. I’d been moving around, trying to see if there were still people I hadn’ said hi to when Juan came to meet me. “Mum, isn’t

GAIA“Tell me what you want me to do for you.”“My father was killed. Murdered in cold blood like an animal that didn’t matter. I need justice for him.”My mouth hung open for a couple of seconds because I was trying to think about what to say. I mean, this man knew who I was right?“Mr Miller, I sympathize with you for your loss but I have to tell you that I am a corporate lawyer and I’m sure you must have known that before you reached out to me so I don't think I can help you with this. Perhaps I can refer you to someone else.”He laughed.“I knew that, Miss Everly. I wanted the best to handle my father’s case, and I knew that only you could do that so I reached out to you. I’ll pay you any amount you want. All I need is for you to find my father’s murderer.”For the first time, I didn’t know what to say. As I stared at him, wondering whether he could hear what I was saying at all, the waiter came with the food. I’d lost my appetite though.“As I was saying, tell me if you can help

JAVON“What’s this? Is this how to write a report? Take this and get out of my face!”I flung the entire file off my table and the papers scattered everywhere. Ever since I heard the news, I've been in a bad mood. Everything and anything made me so mad. “I'm sorry, sir. I'll do it again and bring it back-”“Don’t worry about it. You can take it and get out of my company. I don't ever want to see you again. Get out!”I didn't even remember who I was stalking to and I didn't even want to know. In the past week alone, one of my warehouses has gotten burnt and some of my men were killed.I knew who was responsible for all this and I needed to do something quickly. But in my line of work, it would be very irresponsible of me to just do something without weighing the pros and cons. “He was just joking. You can go back to your office.”That voice…I looked up from my phone to see Gaia and Evan standing in front of me along with the girl I'd just fired. “Go back to your office. Gaia, you di

GAIAIt didn't take long for me to dash out of the office after hearing that. I mean, how could that happen? How could he escape? I brought out my phone on my way out and saw the amount of calls that I had missed and I didn't even know where to start from. “Gaia!” I turned to the sound of the voice. “Where are you going?” “I’m going to check whether this is true, Javon. If he's really escaped, then I'm in trouble.”“Just give me a moment.”He ran back inside his office and came back out.“Let’s go.”I tried calling back some of the numbers that called me earlier. “How could they let this happen? I mean, how could he escape from under their noses?”“From what Heath tells me, it happened last night and they just discovered this morning while on their rounds. They think he had help.”Of course, he had help. How would he be able to escape a military prison all by himself? That plan alone would take a lot of time and masterminds to accomplish. “How could they let this happen?”“It’s

THIRD PERSON POVHe left Alpha Dimitri's house in anger, storming back to the car and getting in. He wasn't exactly angry that the Alpha didn't take his daughter as a wife. He had been hoping for it too because he knew the Alpha had a wife already and no responsible man would marry two women just months apart. So he was grateful for that at least. But he was still mad about the fact that his daughter was pregnant. Nothing could change that. But another thing that wouldn't change was the fact that his daughter was going to be the other woman and that child would never be the heir. That was something he couldn't allow. He had a reputation to uphold and he wouldn't let this situation mess that up. Since Alpha Dimitri couldn't marry his daughter, then he had to do something he didn't want to. He didn't believe in abortion and he didn't ever think that he would ask his princess to do a thing like this but right now, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't let such a thing happen and me

EDEN I knew from the moment she came from the stairs that something was wrong. From the way she walked to the way she spoke to Roman, I could tell that something was different. Off. Then she looked at me as Roman walked away. Then I confirmed. “Why are you here?”She looked shocked that I had recognised her because her eyes widened.But she knew that there was no need to deny it. “Is it you or is it her?"“It’s me, she's having problems coming out. What are you doing here?" She seemed to relax when she figured out that it was me and she chuckled and fell back on the chair behind her. “So it's you. It's about time we had a discussion. Have a seat."“Don't act like we're friends all of a sudden. What are you doing in my house? And what are you doing in Quinn's body? Where is she?!” What the hell did she do with Quinn?“You might want to reduce your voice. We don't want any of the maids or guards hearing anything about this. Have a seat and then we can talk.” I let out a heavy

LUCIAN At this point, I was being forced what I originally didn't want to. Find out who the mole is. There was no way I would know who told Golden Blade King that we were coming because basically everyone was there that night. All the guards, all the maid and the elders knew so how would I be able to single one person out? “A test.” I looked at Kira as she stood over me while I thought. “What did you say?”“A test, Lucian. You can spread some silly rumor and then watch who leaves the pack. Before, we didn't know that there was a spy but now that we do, we'll be on the look out.”That seemed like it would make sense. I should definitely try that. “What should I say?”“Let's do something outrageous. Let's say the prince has returned with some other kids and they're going to tell us what happened and even take us back to where they were being held.”That made sense and sounded like it would work. “Fine then, you can get on that. I don't know how you want to make it seem natural th

EVELYN I watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say. My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right? She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself. Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me? Why did she have to do that? If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Nathan's life at risk. What if something had happened to him? What if Lucian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go? Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait. If anyone should ask me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to tell them so it was best that I just went to my room. As I climbed the stairs, I bumped into someone again. What the hell was with me and bumping into people today?Since my head was bent down as I didn't

The sun was coming down when Wayne came out of the building. He'd had a long day and he couldn't wait to get home and lie in his bed. He just wanted to rest after the events of the past week. “Mr Wayne!”“Mr Wayne! Look here! Do you have anything to say concerning the rumors?!” “Are you truly married?"“What is your wife like?” There was a swarm of reporters outside his building and any sleep that Wayne was feeling before was long gone. They were bombarding him with questions and his bodyguards had to come to his aid by pushing them away from him so they wouldn't hurt him. “One question at a time. Calm down.” He finally managed to calm them down and listen to them. “Mr Wayne, what do you have to say about the rumors that you're married?” Wayne sighed. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later. He just wished it would have happened on a day when he wasn't so tired. “I’m happy to assure you that they're all rumors. I'm still a bachelor and I haven't ever been married in

LUCIANKira started working immediately on the information we had. Now, I knew that the only reason why River took Nathan was because he wanted his delusion of a family to be complete. Beneath the picture of River, Nathan had began drawing the picture of someone. The face wasn't complete, probably because he ran out of time but he wrote the word “spy” in very small letters. Kira was she knew who noticed it and showed it to me. I have such a smart boy. So now I know that he spy motion wasn't a goose chase. Nathan knows who the person is or else, he wont have written that. “The pictures have been circulated around the pack. Soon, we'll have news about their girl and who's child she is. In the mean time, more gifts arrived.”I'd spent the last few days, visiting all the kids that had been returned to their parents. Since I wasn't there for them when they were taken, the least I could do was to see them when they were returned. I knew if Eve was here, that's what she'd do. “Lucian,

ROMANI didn't go anywhere today. I wanted to spend the day with my kids, just being with them and playing with them. School was back in session and it felt good that they came back home to me. Since it was just me for now, I didn't have a choice but to look after every aspect of their life even down to little details. Quinn says I should let the maids handle it but I can't. I can't leave my kids to other people to take care of them. I felt the responsibility to be there for them when they needed me. I didn't have anyone to take care of me. My father didn't exactly give two shits when it came to me and I didn't want a life like that for my kids. I wanted them to know that their father thought about them and loved them. My kids were the only reason I did everything I did, they were the reason I worked hard to be a better man.. I wanted to show them just how much I cared about them. As for Eden, I don't even know what to do about it. I didn't know what to say about her and I didn't

ALPHA DIMITRIShe had fallen asleep at some point during the night. After I'd pulled her closer to me, I could feel her body temsedd and even though I told her to relax, I could still hear her rapid breathing.I'd quietly gotten out of bed so as not to wake her up and to disappear before she did. Just as I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door and I cursed underneath my breath, wondering who the hell that could be and what they could want. Luckily, Ally didn't wake up and I rushed to the door to stop the person from knocking again. “What?!” I spat. It was a maid and she moved back a bit at my tone. “Good morning, Alpha. My apologies for the disturbance but there's someone here to see you."“At this time?” It wasn't even eight in the morning “Who the hell could it be?" “It’s Princess Violet.”What? Violet? After the warning I'd given her yesterday? She still had the guts to ahoe her face here? That woman had some guys. “Tell her that I'm busy. I can't see her righ
