“You have to do something about this, Kane. People are beginning to talk.”“What do you want me to do?”“Plead with Emilia again until she allows you back into the mansion. Living in your condo like this won’t solve anything.”“Living with her won’t solve anything either. This is all my fault, so let me carry my cross alone, Lillian. Thanks, by the way.”“Don’t thank me. I was the one that let that sneaky viper into our house. I still can’t believe it. How could she do that to you?”“Still my fault. I let my guard down.”“I always knew there was something sinister about that girl but I didn’t expect her to go that far.”“Well, the deed is done. Let’s refocus our attention on finding Tiara and bringing this nightmare to an end.”Lillian sighed. “Gosh, Kane. It’s been nearly three months since she went missing. We should have found her by now.”“Trust me, this is the most frustrating experience of my life. I never knew that there was something my endless supply of money couldn’t get me.

“Fix it!”“How?”“I don’t care. Just fix it and make it go away. I’m not going to let that demented demon take the public’s attention away from my daughter’s search.”“Do you realize what you’re saying, Emilia? Fixing this means letting Serena walk free.”“So be it. If you’d had the decency to keep your dick in your pants, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.”Kane groaned. “I’ve already explained that to you a million times. I was drunk that night and I still don’t remember what happened. I didn’t do it deliberately.”“So you say…”“You still don’t believe me?”“That’s not important right now. Do everything you must to make sure that Serena doesn’t spill her gut to the world. It’s bad enough that the police are already awar

“We should go to the hotel,” Kane suggested when Emilia had finally calmed down.“I’m not going anywhere until we find my daughter,” she replied stubbornly.“I understand how you feel but as you can see, it’s getting late. There isn’t much we can do anymore at this time.”“So what do we do when we get to the hotel?”“Strategize and plan for tomorrow. Maybe we can finally involve the local police.”She sighed. “Fine. Let’s go.”They were keeping a low profile in Mexico but that didn’t stop Kane from lodging them along with their companions in one of the finest hotels in the city.He’d gotten a single room for himself and Emilia because he didn’t want to raise eyebrows in case they were recognized by name.“I’ll take the bed and you can sleep on the couch,” she said dismissively when they entered the

Five months passed and Tiara Beaumont was still missing. Finally, the family came to terms with the painful truth that she may never be found.It was a hard pill to swallow but everyone had to accept the sad reality and carry on with their lives. Emilia showered all of her attention on Travis while Kane buried himself in work.“Do you have any plans for Travis’ second birthday?” Elsie asked Emilia one afternoon while they sat in the garden, enjoying the warm outdoor weather.“No,” she said flatly. “What’s there to celebrate? His twin is still missing.”“And she will be found eventually.”“Please, stop saying that. There’s no point hanging on to false hopes.”“Fine. But let’s have a small party for dear Travis. Let’s not deprive him of a celebration because of – ““Don’t say it.”“I’m sorry.&r

“What the hell is going on here?” Kane demanded.“What’s it look like?” Serena retorted. “I’m here to stay, of course.”“Stay where?”“In Beaumont Mansion. I’m family now.”“Says who? Who let you in, by the way?”“Everyone here knows me, so, why wouldn’t they let me in?”“Well, congratulations. You’ve just cost them their jobs because I’m firing everyone who permitted you to walk through those gates and come here to knock on the front door.”“That’s their luck,” she replied with a shrug. “it’s none of my business.”Kane had never despised anyone as much as he did Serena right now. Harry had come to fetch him as soon as he opened the front door and found her standing there with a big belly and six suitcases.It was barely a week after Jack’s funeral, Emilia was still not talking to him and now this clown just showed up at their doorstep at the crack of dawn to cause trouble.“Find someone to help her carry her bags outside,” he said to Harry. “And inform them that she’s never to be all

“For god’s sake, Emilia, it’s been three weeks! You can’t keep complaining about everything Serena does or says. It’s becoming unbearable.”“Excuse me?”“You heard me,” Lillian replied with a straight face. “At some point, you’ll have to get used to living under the same roof with her.”“But it’s not just her anymore, is it? Her so-called mother who appeared out of nowhere is also a part of this madness. She speaks to me rudely and encourages Serena to continue acting as if she’s my equal.”“First of all, that’s her foster mother. The woman was homeless, so it was not out of place for Serena to invite her here to live and have a familiar face around her.”“Whatever…”“Second, we all know Serena isn’t your equal and she can’t be, no matter how much she tries. Her being here is temporary,

“Granny’s dead. She passed away this morning,” Emilia’s mother informed her over the phone the following morning.“Oh, dear. I’m so sorry, Mom.”“Thanks, darling,” her mother replied brokenly and blew her nose.“I’m coming home with Travis today. We’ll be on our way soon.”“That would be nice. We’re heading to the countryside later today. Daddy’s not going with us, though. He’ll join us tomorrow after he’s sorted out things in the restaurants.”“Ok. We’ll see you soon.”After she hung up, Emilia curled up in her bed again and cried. Granny was gone. She’d never feel her grandmother’s warm embrace anymore or hear her calm singsong voice.She wished she could cry all day but that wasn’t possible. She needed to get Travis ready for the trip to her parent’s home.“Where are you going?” Lillian asked her as she and Travis marched behind the maids who were dragging her packed bags towards the front door.“We’re going to my parents’ house. My grandmother died this morning.”“Oh, I’m so sorry

Shortly after her family left, it began to rain. Emilia sat on the porch with Travis but they were driven back inside the house by the leaking roof.She decided to make pancakes for Travis but then thought she heard someone tinkering about on the porch. When she went to check, she found Matt there, fixing the leaking roof. The rain had stopped but the skies were still dark with the promise of a coming storm.“What are you doing here?” She asked and Matt almost fell off his small ladder.“Jesus! You startled me. I thought everyone was gone.”“Travis and I are still here. How did you know the roof was bad?”“It’s been like this for a while now. I kept promising Bertha that I’ll fix it but I never got around to doing it. When it started to rain, I remembered and rushed down here to finally fix it as my parting gift to Bertha.”“That’s sweet,” said Emilia. She was genu

Emilia’s road to recovery was a slow and painful one. After six weeks, she was moved to a regular private ward where she got around in a wheelchair.“The doctors believe that your spine injury has healed enough for you to begin physical therapy,” Kane announced to her one afternoon.“That’s good news,” she smiled.“Yes. Who knows, you might get back on your feet in time for the twin’s fourth birthday.”“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, please.”Kane placed his hand on hers and squeezed it gently. “I am not afraid to hope, Emilia.”She shrugged. “Sometimes, hope ends up in disappointment.”“Don’t say that. I believe you’ll walk again.”His phone buzzed. He checked it and got on his feet. “Sorry, my love. This is an important business call.”“You don’t need my permission to answer your phone, Kane. Go ahead and take the call but do it outside. I think I’ll take a nap,” she said and yawned.He pecked her on the cheek and hurried out of the room. Emilia got comfortable on her bed and clo

Kane thought it was only possible to dodge bullets in movies but he’d done it in real life. When the old man showed up with the gun and yelled at him, Kane had preempted his opponent’s move and dropped to the ground before he pulled the trigger.He lunged at the man, knocking him to the ground. Hank fired another shot that went into the ceiling and Kane grabbed the rifle, trying to wrestle it from his grip.“Get off me, you bastard!” Hank yelled at him as he continued to maintain his hold on the gun.Kane headbutted him, destabilizing Hank for a few seconds. He finally snatched the gun from his hands and got up.“You bastard. You broke my nose,” Hank lamented and wiped the blood from his nostril.“Who the hell are you?” Kane asked him while aiming the rifler at its owner.“I’m Hank. This is my cabin and you’re a trespasser.”Kane glanced at Emilia and saw that she

Kane felt like smashing his fist into something. He was so angry he couldn’t think straight. He should never have left Emilia alone.He should have given his Qatari business partners an excuse for not showing up to the contract signing ceremony. Now, he would still miss the event and his wife’s life is in danger as well.“I am going to kill that guy when I see him again,” he muttered angrily.Emilia had suggested that Matt could be the stalker but he had written off that possibility because he was so certain that his wife’s ex-lover was safely tucked away in Wyoming. The bastard had waited for him to leave before finally making his move.His phone rang. It was his mother calling.“Yes, Mother?” He answered impatiently.“The police have found the kidnapper’s vehicle,” Elsie said shakily.Kane sighed with relief. “Has he been arrested?”“Well… that isn’t possible anymore.”“Why not?”“He’s dead. They said the vehicle was crushed completely. They’d have to cut it up to bring out the body
Married On Paper To The Billionaire Chapter 61: Fear Of The Unknown
When Emilia regained consciousness, it was dark and she could smell the delicious aroma of beef stew. She was in so much pain that the only part of her body that she could move was her eyes.A slow scan around her surroundings showed her that she was inside a log cabin. She was in a small room, lying on a bed alone. There was one chair in the room beside the bed and a bookshelf with a lantern on top of it.She suddenly remembered that Matt had said he was taking her to a cabin before she jumped on him. Panic gripped her.Had he somehow managed to survive that terrible crash and brought her here after all? How was she going to escape now?She heard the footsteps coming towards the room and a male voice humming a tune. Who was that? Her saviour or her captor?The fear of the unknown made her nervous but she couldn’t get up from the bed to hide. She seemed pinned to the spot.A few seconds later, a strange man showed up at the doorway, ho

“Who is it?” Lara called out from the living room.“Don’t say a word,” Matt warned Emilia.“So, you’re the stalker.”“I hate that word. I wasn’t stalking you, by the way. I was just letting you know that I’ll come back for you and now, here I am.”“What do you think you’re doing, Matt?” She asked him softly. “How do you think this is going to end?”“It’s going to end with you following me quietly and going back to Wyoming with me. Or we could go to Connecticut together. Do you remember how much fun it was when we were together in that hotel, making love all night?”“That wasn’t a fun memory for me,” she replied flatly. “it was a painful time in my life when I was searching frantically for my missing child.”“Well, you’ve found her, haven’t you? Now, stop talking and com

“We will have the mansion under a one-week surveillance to see if the stalker will show up again,” said the police officer, Gary Wesley. “so, have no fear, Mrs Beaumont. If he shows up again, we will catch him and arrest him.”“That’s very reassuring, thank you.” Said Emilia.“If the stalker isn’t caught this week, will you extend your surveillance by another week?” Kane wanted to know.“Let’s see how this week goes first but I am confident that we will catch the stalker if he shows up again,” said officer Wesley.“Fair enough. Thank you for your time.”After the policeman left, Kane joined Emilia in the sunroom where she was brooding alone.“Don’t worry, my love. You’re safe with me,” he said softly. “and if the police can’t protect us, nobody else can.”“I’m just trying to figure out who could be playing this prank on me. What if it’s Matt?”“Who? The Wyoming guy?”“Yes.”“I don’t think so. Why would he leave his job and family to come here and leave dumb notes for you?”“I know, bu

“I really enjoyed our vacation but it does feel good to be back home,” Emilia sighed happily one week later as she relaxed in the family swimming pool with Lillian.Their children were in the kiddies' swimming pool nearby with their nannies and swimming instructors.“I can tell you had a great time. You’re glowing like a crystal ball.”“I am? Gee, thanks.”“I envy you. I wish I can go on a vacation too.”“Why not?”Lillian sighed heavily. “This divorce negotiation with Samuel is becoming a pain in the ass. We have another mediation scheduled for next week with our attornies.”“What’s going on?”“That greedy son-of-a-bitch wants spousal support and is demanding a piece of some of my properties.”“What!”“I can’t believe his audacity.

“That audio recording has done its magic,” Virgil informed Kane over the phone a few days after the TV interview. “the publishing company has cancelled their deal with Serena.”“As they should. She was going to write hundreds of pages filled with lies about me and my family. She should have taken the money I offered her.”“She might reach out to you for it.”“That offer is off the table. She missed her chance.”“Well, that’s that then. My work here is done but don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you need my services again.”“Of course, thank you.”After the phone conversation, he went in search of Emilia and found her in the sunroom with Lillian and Elsie.“Hello, ladies. May I join you?”“Of course, darling,” said Elsie. “we were going over the details of your upcoming wedding anniversary party.&r

“Romeo and Juliet… I was wondering when both of you will finally show up here,” said Serena with a delighted grin.“Let’s cut to the chase then,” said Kane curtly. “my wife and I are ready to offer you twice the amount you’re getting from the publishing house to write your book.”Serena giggled. “Are you trying to silence me? I am an American citizen and I have the right to free speech.”“Not if your free speech is a bunch of lies targeted at destroying our reputation,” said Emilia.“You’re one to talk. Aren’t you the same woman that cheated on her husband with a random farmhand in Wyoming? And you’re here talking about your reputation. How ironic.”“How much do you want?” Kane asked her.“I’ve told you a billion times already, Kane. I don’t want your money, I want you.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“Divorce this woman who is unworthy of you and then marry me. I will be devoted to you, I will be faithful to you and I will make you proud wherever I go.”“That will never happen,” Emi
