The Billionaire's Bargain Chapter 49
A team of police officers burst into the room, their guns drawn and their eyes scanning the space. "Your hands up; you're under arrest for the kidnap of Mr. and Mrs. James Reed," one of the officers shouted, his voice firm and authoritative. "Whatever you say will be used against you." Emily's eyes widened in shock as she slowly raised her hands, a look of defiance still etched on her face.The officers moved quickly, surrounding Emily and cuffing her wrists behind her back. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you." Emily's eyes flashed with anger, but she said nothing, her lips pressed together in a tight line.The officers ordered Emily to move, and she was led out of the room, still cuffed and under guard. As she was taken away, the officers turned their attention to James, who was still sitting on the floor, his eyes fixe

Mr. Reed arrived at the hospital, greeted by the sound of beeping machines and the smell of disinfectant. He quickly made his way to the reception desk, where a friendly nurse looked up at him and asked, "Can I help you, sir?" Mr. Reed's face was etched with worry, and he replied, “My son and daughter-in-law were brought in after a kidnapping." The nurse's expression changed to one of concern, and she nodded, "Yes, sir. They're being treated in room 304. Let me just check with the doctor to see if you can go in."Mr. Reed nodded, his eyes scanning the hospital lobby as he waited. He couldn't believe that this had happened to his family. He had always been so protective of them, and now...now they had been kidnapped. The thought sent a wave of anger and fear through him, and he clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down. The nurse returned, smiling sympathetically, and said, "The doctor says it's okay for you to go in, sir.Mr. Reed nodded, taking a deep breath as he followed th

Mr. Reed was sitting in his living room, relaxing and trying to unwind after a long day. He had just poured himself a glass of scotch and was about to take a sip when he heard the doorbell ring. He got up to answer it, expecting it to be one of his staff members or perhaps a neighbor. But to his surprise, it was Mrs. Valerie."Oh, who do we have here? Welcome, Mrs. Valerie," he said, trying to sound polite but not smiling. "Please, come in and have a seat."Mrs. Valerie looked at him with a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes. "I didn't come all the way here to sit and dine, you know how busy I am, so I prefer standing," she said, her voice firm. "My daughter was arrested; I know what she did was grievous, and I'm not in support of the act, but pressing charges, don't you think you're going too far?" He raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of annoyance at her question. "I am doing what's right, Mrs. Valerie," he said, not looking at her for a second. "And besides, I wasn't the one

It was Alex!He looked at James with a mixture of confidence and arrogance, his eyes gleaming with a sense of superiority. "I didn't come to see you," he said, his voice dripping with disdain. "I came to see someone else and you know who exactly I came to see, so why don't you save yourself the stress and go in and tell her Alex is here to see her." James chuckled, a low, mocking sound, and shook his head. "Oh, I understand," he said, his voice laced with sarcasm. "I see, you're still obsessed with my wife, aren't you? You just can't seem to get it through your head that she's married to me, and not you. Read my lips, Bella is married and would never want to settle for a low life like you."His expression didn't change, but his eyes flashed with anger. "And who says someone else's wife can't be taken?" he asked, his voice rising. "You think you're the only one who can have her? You think you're the only one who can make her happy?" His eyes narrowed, his expression cold. "I don't th

As the evening approaches, the sun begins its descent towards the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the landscape.Mia, coming back home from a long, hectic day at work, was tired and worn out; as she got into her apartment, she let out a deep sigh as she dropped her bag on the floor and began to take off her shoes."Ugh, what a day," she said to herself, shaking her head. "I'm so glad to be home. I just want to take a shower, put on some comfortable clothes, and collapse on the couch." She walked over to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, still talking to herself about her stressful day. "I don't know how much more of this I can take. Work has been killing me lately. I'm so tired of all the drama and stress. I just want to go back to bed and forget about everything."Just then, she was surprised to see Alex sitting comfortably on her couch, smiling sheepishly at her. She let out a loud shout in shock, "Oh my geez! How the fuck did you get in here you psychopath?" she sa

The exact words Alex said about him and Bella almost having a baby kept ringing in James's head, like a constant echo that he couldn't shake off. Different thoughts started flowing in about her aborting a baby in her previous relationship and how it had affected her. He was burning inside, and couldn't bear to keep it anymore. He needed to know the truth, and he needed to know it now. He decided to confront his wife to ask her about the baby and about her past.As he walked into the house, he saw Bella sitting on the couch, watching TV. She looked up at him and smiled, but James couldn't smile back. He was too consumed by his thoughts, too consumed by the anger and the hurt that he was feeling. "You're busy? We need to talk," he said, his voice firm, but controlled. Bella looked at him, surprised, and turned off the TV. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice concerned.James took a deep breath and sat down next to her. "You know, I've been willing to ask you something," he said, his

Bella stood on the street with a teary and pale face, still contemplating where to go. She knew the only place she could go was her previous apartment, where Mia stayed. She quickly ordered a cab and headed there, trying to process the events that had just transpired. As she sat in the cab, she couldn't help but think about the argument she had with James. She had never seen him so angry and hurt before, to the extent of telling her to leave and it broke her heart to know that she was the cause of it.She got to the apartment, pressed the door button, and the voice from inside replied, "Give me a minute; I'm coming.” Bella waited patiently, trying to compose herself. She didn't want to break down in front of Mia, but she knew it was inevitable. As Mia opened the door, she was surprised to see Bella, whose eyes were filled with tears. "Not again, what's going on? What happened this time?" she said, as she paved the way for Bella to come in.Bella walked into the apartment, feeling a

Mrs. Valerie, stood in front of the police officer, her eyes blazing with anger and frustration. "Look, officer, I've been coming here countless times. I really need to see my daughter, and I want her released," she said, her voice firm and determined. The officer, a tall and imposing figure with a stern expression, shook his head. "I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't see her, neither can she be released without you coming with her attorney; besides, we both know the kind of crime she committed: kidnapping and attempted murder, for God's sake," he said, his voice firm but polite.Her face turned red with anger, her eyes flashing with indignation. "Do you know who I am? Do I look like I'm here to joke?" she exclaimed, her voice rising. "What are you even insinuating? That I can't see my daughter? She is my daughter and I have every right as a mother to see her." The officer took a step back, his hands held up in a calming gesture. "I'm not insinuating anything, ma'am. I'm just following the

Everyone looked at each other confused, unsure of what was happening. "What are you talking about, Phil? I'm confused about your interest in this," James asked, his voice laced with concern. James shook his head, trying to clear the confusion. "Wait a minute, the lady you're talking about is Emily?" he said, his voice slow and deliberate.“Emily right here is the reason I'm in town, the same woman who does want me in her life and that of our unborn child, and surprisingly, she's here trying to pin my own child on another man who doesn't even want her. How pathetic can you be Emily?” He said, feeling disgusted by Emily's act.“Phi..Phil? What are you doing here? Ho..how do you both know each other? She asked as she stuttered.She stood there, her face burning with embarrassment, as she took to her heels, her mum following closely behind. She couldn't believe what was happening, and she just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. As they walked away.Mrs. Valerie turned to

Emily walked to the center of the crowd, trying to draw attention. She stood tall, her eyes scanning the sea of faces before her. "Attention, everybody," she said, her voice clear and strong. "I would like to make a wonderful announcement. It's a discovery I just found out minutes ago, and I'm sure it will be of interest to you."

Emily was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone in frustration. Phil began disturbing her phone with calls, and she decided to pick up. “What is it? For God's sake, what do you want from me Phil?" she asked, her voice firm and annoyed. "I have told you countless times to stop calling me, we've got no business together." Phil's voice was calm and persuasive on the other end of the line. "C'mon Emily, why are you acting weird? We both know I am the father of the child you're carrying, so allow me to take my responsibilities."Her anger and frustration boiled over at his words. "What stupid responsibilities?" she spat. "I have told you we've got no business together and no child together whatsoever. Just leave me alone, Phil." His tone turned slightly aggressive, and Emily could sense the desperation in his voice. "Emily, don't be like this. I know we had a thing, and I know I'm the father of your child. I want to be involved in your lives, and I want to take care of you both."Emi

James didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to accept that his dad might not make it. He held his hand, talking to him, trying to keep him awake. "Dad, stay with me," he said, his voice shaking. "Please, don't leave me. I need you." Dr. Smith held his shoulder, his eyes filled with a deep sense of concern. "I think you should get your wife here, or it's too late," he said, his voice low and urgent. "It's possible he wants to say something important." He quickly brought out his phone, his hands shaking as he scrolled through his contacts. He found Bella's number and dialed it, but she wasn't responding. He tried calling her again, but it went straight to voicemail.He wasn't sure where to go, or what to do. He knew that he had to find his wife, but he had no idea where she was. He thought about going to the hospital where Miranda was; he was certain she must have been discharged by now and he doubted she would be there. He knew that the only place to go to was her previous apartme

Both best friends decided to go drinking to clear their heads, sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting.James was nursing a whiskey on the rocks, while Steve was sipping on a beer. The bartender, a friendly woman with a warm smile, was polishing a glass and listening in on their conversation. James was staring into his drink, his eyes lost in thought. Steve, noticing his friend's distant expression, decided to speak up."Yo man, I think it's high time you reduce your intake of alcohol," he advised, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting too much. You're drinking every night, and it's starting to affect your daily life, you rarely come to work. I think you should give this girl a break not after everything that has happened." He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Steve. "Bro, just let me be," he said, his voice low and even. "I'll be fine. I just want to drink to clear my head off, and that's all; without her, I can't think straight; she isn't responding to m

Miranda tried sitting up, confused about what was going on and what James was talking about. "What truth is he talking about, Bella?" she asked, turning to her sister with a look of confusion. She then turned to Mia and asked."What's going on, can somebody please talk to me? Who is this young man and what truth is he talking about?" Mia looked at Bella, who took a deep breath before speaking."I'll explain, Mimi, please just calm down," Bella said in a low tone, trying to soothe her sister's frazzled nerves. "He's my husband, on a contract, but trust me, all of these will soon be over," she added, her voice barely above a whisper. Miranda's eyes widened in shock, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut. "What! You're kidding, aren’t you? Are you trying to tell me you got married without letting your only family hear about it?" she shouted, her voice rising in anger and hurt.She looked down, feeling guilty and ashamed. "I know I should have told you, Mimi, but it was all

As they arrived, they were greeted by the sight of Miranda, standing in the middle of the room, looking weak and frail.Bella's eyes widened with joy and concern as she rushed towards her sister, throwing her arms around her in a tight hug. “I'm sorry all of these have to happen to you, Mimi," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"Miranda, who was extremely weak, couldn't utter a word, only stood there looking at her sister, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions.

I promise I will never let anything happen to you, because you are never leaving my sight," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. "I was so worried about you."

"C’mon, Bella, you've been like this for weeks; you need to get a hold of yourself," James said, his voice filled with concern as he noticed Bella's mood. "I promise, Miranda will be found and brought back." Bella looked up at him, her eyes red from crying, and her face pale with worry. "How sure are you?" she asked, her voice shaking with fear. "It's been weeks, and we haven't even heard anything from them, and neither are the police saying anything. She's the only family I've got, and you want me to act like nothing has happened to her."He took a deep breath and pulled Bella into a hug. "I’m not saying that, I know it's been tough, but we can't give up hope," he said, his voice soft and reassuring. "The police are doing everything they can to find her, and I'm sure they'll come up with something soon." She pulled back and looked at him, her eyes searching for answers. "But what if they don't?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "What if we never see her again?"James's

"You need to calm down, babe, I had to rush down here immediately; I got your call," James said, trying to calm Bella down. "Trust me, if the kidnap isn't connected to anybody, we will surely get a call from them requesting a ransom; let's just give them a few hours." Bella, whose eyes were filled with tears, shook her head. "I'm just confused, what's going on?" she asked, her voice trembling. "First, it was me, now my innocent sister... Who knows who might be next?"He pulled Bella into a hug, trying to comfort her. "C’mon, you need to stop thinking about it and hope we get a call soon. We'll get through this, okay," he said. "We'll find out who's behind this and we'll get your sister back safely." Steve, who had been quiet until now, joined the conversation. "Don't worry, I promise we'll get her back," he said, his voice filled with determination. "But I had no idea you've got a sister all these while." Bella sniffled, wiping her tears with her sleeve."She was at the hospital all
