Married To My Billionaire Boss Chapter 41
"Thank you," Elena said, taking the mug from her. The scent of the coffee was very calming. She sipped and shut her eyes a bit to take in the feeling. The bittersweet taste left a satisfying residue on her tongue. "Thanks," she said again. "I needed that.""Father mentioned that you had got married to Liam Hemsworth, CEO, EliteCorp," Jennifer said after they'd settled down. Her face held no expression and her voice sounded bland. Was she admiring? Or being spiteful?"Yes, I did. It's kinda bad none of you were close enough to attend." Elena chose her words carefully. Even the slightest wrong use of a general idiom could spell trouble.Jennifer shrugged. "It was what it was. But I'm glad it was a success. You have a good eye, I must say."Compliments from people like Jennifer are nothing but gems. "Thank you, dear," Elena said. It was a good thing their father hadn't told them anything related to the real circumstance behind that marriage.There ensued an awkward silence as Elena hunte

Liam stared at the chubby young woman as she approached him. She had the expression of one who was ready for a fight. "Wait a minute," she said to him. "Who do you think you are in the first place to order us like that? Who? Please tell me." Liam watched her spread hands, and for a split second imagined what it'd be like to tear through her with a ferocious kick to her bowels. That would really be an epic way to shut her up and exert who was in charge here. He saw Chris moving towards her. Beside him was a female bodyguard, who Liam had just met and shook hands with. "Now, ma'am," the female guard said, "you'd have to keep your voice down and get into the car with us." Liam saw Elena still perched in the middle of all this, her face knotted in worry. Liam still couldn't believe Elena would do such a thing as fund embezzlement. Even if she would, how? Well, the investigation would tell. "You don't tell me when to shut up or keep talking!" the plump lady shouted, slapping off the

The cars were mostly limousines and Hummers, jet black, and dashing in their brilliant reflection of the sun. The tinted windows also reflected the sun's harsh rays, making it impossible to see the faces of the people inside.Liam lost count of the cars that rolled into the large compound. None of them went into the garage, but lined up neatly on the large expanse of the yard. His father had really gathered these people! After about a minute of rest, the doors began to open, one after the other. The first set of people to alight were the bodyguards. They were quite intimidating. Liam was slightly amused as the guards' eyes scanned the surroundings for any threat.It was clear that his uncles were accustomed to being protected, and took their security very seriously. Even in Liam's house the guards thought there could be some danger. Marvelling.The guards lined themselves each beside the car, and as though on a cue, they opened the doors at the same time.From the cars, they emerged,

"Bugs, ma?" Elena asked, laughing uneasily. But Mrs Rebecca was not laughing. "I could not possibly have bugs." "There's only one way to find out, right?" This time, she smiled, but it was a dead smile. "Come, I'll do the honors myself." Elena glanced at Jennifer, desperately seeking support, whatever way it would come. Elena wanted Jennifer to take one look at her and notice that she indeed had a bug crawling under the neck of her blouse. Then to help her. Distract the process, whatever. But Jennifer was far too distant to understand. Rosa would have attempted. "Why do you hesitate?" Rebecca asked, her voice having an edge of impatience and suspicion. Elena turned back to her. "It's just that, it's so strange." She then laughed and spread her arms to be searched. What would be would be. What would be, for sanity sake, would freaking be. The older woman smiled now, and stepped forward to meet Elena. The hall was thrown into silence. Elena had the feeling that the people in the ha

Liam didn't speak immediately. He sized Mr Paul up. The man was breathing through his mouth now, glowering up at Liam, his lips twitching in anger. "You should know your place, Mr Paul," Liam finally said. "Because you were allowed into our family doesn't mean you can say whatever and do whatever you want, especially towards my wife." "I am a part of this family now," Paul snarled. "I have just as much rights as you fucking do. Even more, because I am older! Have you no respect, Liam? Insulting me in front of these strangers!" He turned desperately to Liam's father. "You're seeing this, right?" "Liam," his father said, slowly, "get out of this place now." Liam didn't look at his father; his gaze was on Mr Paul. Before he married Mrs Rebecca, Mr Paul had been nothing but a struggling photographer, thin and scrawny. And then Mrs Rebecca had found him, brushed him up and somehow convinced Liam's grandfather that he could be a "profitable" son in-law. "Liam, I spoke to you," his fath

Liam had left the hall with nothing in his hand, but he returned with a briefcase which he carefully kept to sit at his feet. He took a glance around the table, at his uncles and aunts, and said: "I am terribly sorry for keeping us all waiting. May we proceed." "Where is Elena?" his father asked. "Um, she should just be around the corner," Liam said, making a show of craning his neck to find her. "You have to call her in," Mrs Rebecca said. "She has to be here." Liam turned to look at her. Had his father told them also about what he had in his notes? And they were all bloodthirsty for Elena? Hilarious. "I don't think that's necessary," Liam said. "We can surely go on without her." "Liam, why do you counter literally every instruction given to you?" his father snarled. "Can you run the affairs of this company, and the family and other logistics in it, if left alone?" Liam shook his head. He had a very small smile playing out on his lips. Mr Paul was glaring at him with eyes of

Elena stood, and at Mr Griffin's harsh command, began to push her phone towards him. Liam timed this perfectly, and with a deft sweep of his arms, got the briefcase between the phone and Mr Griffin's outstretched hand."Oops," he said, beaming at Elena, "didn't see your car coming. Is there any scratch?"Elena hardly smiled; the questions she had to answer had made her a breathing skeleton. She had traces of gathered tears in her eyes. "Liam!" his father shouted, quite loudly. "Let the damn phone go."Liam ignored him and pressed a button on the briefcase. It wheezed open. The audio box sat inside, the box where all evidence to prove Elena's innocence was contained. But before he played the audio, Liam said to his father and uncles and aunt, "Dad, I'd want to give you one more chance to rethink what you're doing to my wife. Maybe there had been so much hatred for her that it has led some of us into extremities. This is a chance to come clean now.""What nonsense do you speak about?"

The arrows of eyes pointed at him from different directions, the surprise written on their faces, the shock, their heartbeats pulsing together, driving him crazy: all these weakened him. He had employed crude antics, and his tricky ways were outdated. So, his cover was blown. Again."Father," Liam said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "the very day after I got married to Elena, you sent her home. And not only did you do that, you took her back from her home to a place, a warehouse —""Liam..." his father snarled in warning."You tried to force her to sign a marriage termination agreement. Then when I found this out, you blamed it on Chris. And went ahead to urge the police to take him away."Liam's father looked around now, at the guards crowded by the door and in the hall. Then he saw Chris among them, his face expressionless. James twitched."You," he said to Chri

Liam listened to Ethan's lawyer speak. There was a dying flicker of hope in his voice. He had long lost the battle, and the jurors weren't listening to him anymore. But he tried his last weapon: appeal for leniency.And for the record, not long ago, Ethan had been sentenced to twenty-five years in prison, and a wave of terror and silence had coursed through the hundreds of people gathered there.In the offender's box Ethan stood, a shadow of his former self. It was a week since his arrest. And even though his mother, through his plea and Liam's mercy, had been set free on bail, Ethan couldn't get his doom over his head. Liam watched him closely, at his overgrown beards, his unkempt hair, the blood in his eyes. "Your honor," the counsel said, "I understand the seriousness of my client's crime, and I do not condone it. However, I would like to ask for leniency in sentencing. My client has no previous criminal record, and I believe that a sentence of 25 years is excessive. A reduced sen

After the incident with Plum, she became a ghost in the mansion. Elena looked everywhere for her, casually sent other maids to find her, but Plum was always where they had not been.When a maid said she heard her crying in a restroom situated in the basement, Elena ran to the basement. When she got there, the crying had stopped. There was a deep silence. "Break the door open!" Elena shouted with a sense of dread and urgency.The maid went for it, but the door wasn't locked. She opened it and Plum was not there anymore. But Elena had the gut feeling that she was still around there, somewhere."Look, Plum, I know you can hear me," Elena called out, "Whatever game you think you are playing, whatever stunt you want to pull by this shit, would not work. Not in my house. Okay?"She was met with even deeper silence. Her anger built up. "If you want to go crazy, my dear, you can send in your resignation letter, and I'll see you off to the gates myself! Then you can wield your insanity to its

"I don't know how to describe how happy I am," Liam said, "hearing you're pregnant."Elena frowned, as she remembered something. "No, boo, you certainly knew what you were doing. Why didn't you let us have sex all this while?"She saw Liam frown. "Oh, really? I didn't really think about it that way. I was only having fun." He turned to her. "You wanted a baby, too?""I guess as at then," she said, "I didn't. It's all changed now. Then, I only wanted to enjoy this" — she reached out to touch and caress his flaccid dick lying on his belly — "to the fullest. Wanted to suck out every juice you could ever produce.""Eww, I don't produce juice," Liam laughed. "You do.""Let's see who gives the juice first!"she declared, sitting up. Liam was grinning too, perhaps wondering how he got so lucky with a wife who was both an introvert and a sexual creative."What are you trying to do?" he asked, feigning suspicion."How would you like your blowjob? Fast and aggressive, or slow and deep.""This lo

When Liam told Elena to go upstairs, so he would handle his family, she was filled with dread. Not by what the family would to to her as revenge, but for what Liam would do to them. There was so much anger and bitterness in his voice. His eyes were dark and revengeful.And when she passed through their midst, her heart beat with doubled pace. In her room, she couldn't sit quietly. She peeked from the window, saw her husband raving, commanding so much power that even the birds in the sky didn't as much as flicker their wings.She didn't hear some of what was what said, but she picked out the key phrases. And she couldn't help but marvel at the extent her husband was ready to go in his revenge.Not once did she try to interfere, by either calling him on phone to interrupt him, or call his name from the balcony. But she held her reins. Their altercation skyrocketed to a climax, when the gates opened and police sirens filled the air. The police cars rolled into the compound, and everyone

"Liam, you cannot do this to your brother!" Ethan's mother shouted the moment Liam stepped out of the car. "You cannot claim to love him and do this wicked thing to him.""Is he even listening to you?" Mr Paul asked. "He doesn't even remember who you are, talk more of Ethan."Liam allowed his eyes skim through the men and women gathered in front of his mansion. It was just as Chris told. They weren't even sitting. Only his father, whose health was seriously on the decline, was on a chair just behind them, smoking a pipe.Mr Paul spoke again about Liam. "See how he mopes listlessly? I tell you, what he should work on firstly is recovering —""Every dime you all have looted from my company while I was away," Liam cut in, blending in so well that the effect of his statement was an astounded silence.They didn't respond for a while. Maybe they thought not responding would help prove how much of a clueless man Liam was. But Liam had this all prepared. "Hey, El," Liam said to his wife besi

Elena saw the flash from behind Luke. It happened so fast. First, a clean hole on the roof appeared, accentuated by a flash of light. Something metallic hit a pan, bounced off and went through Luke's stomach. Elena heard the bullet — or whatever it was — wheeze past her ear. Her hairs stood on edge.Before her, Luke still stood with his penis in his hand, but a new hole on his chest. He didn't fall immediately, but when there were movements from the roof, he did fall.Elena saw them descend like black angels from the rooftop, or anywhere they might have come from. They were clothed in black, regaled in darkness. Their eyes were flashes of stealth, precision and ruthlessness. In their hands were stout guns, poised to end in a instant the life of anyone who tried to play smart. The red dots of their targets were everywhere on Ethan and his men's clothes. Ethan had more dots."Freeze," a voice said again. "We shall not hesitate to kill whoever moves a muscle."Ethan yelped and tried to

"You see what's inside?" Ethan asked."Ethan, what is the meaning of this?" Liam asked through the phone."I asked, what is inside!""An agreement for transfer of ownership, Liam whispered."That's right. I want you to sign the paper and place it back into the case. I'll get the notification here if that has been done."There was a prolonged silence from Liam's side. Ethan idly shook his feet which were propped on a table. Then he looked to his right to see Elena, tied to a chair. She had long stopped crying now, and all that left her throat was a hollow moan.Ethan motioned to Luke and the four other men who were with him in that underground. "Take the gag off her mouth," he ordered.Liam heard this, and reacted immediately. "You gagged my wife?!" he shouted. "Ethan, you had the temerity to put a gag on Elena's mouth?"Ethan chuckled. "Oh. Look who's hurt and shaky. But that's not even all." He glanced over to see Elena immediately double up to throw up. Ethan smiled and turned back

Liam sat there, gasping, and moving his head back and forth. A lot was going on in his brain, in his mind and heart. He could feel each throb, bringing back with it a cascade of memories."Where's Elena?" he asked himself, remembering he had a wife, who he had been treating like trash. She was right, after all! Liam's hands began to shake against the wheel. The world seemed to slow down around him."Where are Charlie, Olive and James?"The name Charlie stuck to his mind. Charlie. The last image he remembered of him was when he was down on the alley, being pumped by bullets, shaking.He had done that to save him.Liam swallowed and glanced away. The tears that streamed from his eyes had become heavy. Flowing from the depth of his soul. His nose ran freely.Charlie had given himself for him.Liam's thoughts were violently interrupted by a blast on his windshield. He turned to see his chasers lined up shoulder to shoulder, their guns raised to their eyes. They began to fire bullets on L

Liam stared at the man standing before him, anger and frustration in Liam's face. Something was seeping into his brain. He was trying hard to remember who the man was. And he was so close to it!"Here are pictures of us," Charlie said, showing him a screen full of pictures. Liam recognized himself in the pictures. But the man next to him... Good heavens.They were standing under the shade of a random tree in the streets. Liam had no idea how Charlie had found him there. Liam was about concluding his arrangements for the soldiers to go arrest Ethan. "I'm trying," Liam finally admitted. "I do recognize myself, but it is like looking into a photoshopped picture. I can't explain how this is happening."Charlie's face was kind. "I understand. The doctor gave us a forewarning, so I really understand. You're already doing great. I just want to be by your side.""Why?" Liam asked."Because the men who had tried to killer you are back again."Liam's eyebrows crinkled. "What sre you talking ab
