The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 61
The cooling atmosphere of the beach calmed their nerves as they walked slowly on the sand, totally ignoring the many people who also shared the beach with them. Zoe walked behind Mia, trying not to disturb the little peace the sound of the waters was bringing her. Mia stopped and turned towards the waters, closing her eyes to take it all in while Zoe continued to watch her. When she opened her eyes, she turned to Zoe.“This was a good idea.” She said, a little smile around the corner of her lips.“Yeah?” Zoe asked, seeing the conversation as an opportunity to go closer to her. She folded her arms and also closed her eyes, just to feel what exactly it was Mia was feeling.“I hate them.” Mia called and Zoe opened her eyes immediately. She noticed the hurt look on the young girl’s face and instead of rebuking her, nodded her head.“It is okay to hate them. they are men. Women hate men sometimes.” She said, rubbing her hands against her bare arms.Mia shook her head immediately, trying he

“Calm down, Michael.” Zoe called. “You know you do not want to hurt me.”He laughed hysterically, standing to his feet and dragging her with him. She could feel his grip tighten, realizing that this time around, she was actually not scared of him. There was something with the way that he looked at her that made her less scared than she had been the first time she met him.“You need to calm down and let me go.” She said again, surprised that she was trying to reason with him.“Who the hell are you?” He snapped, tightening his grip again even though he wasn’t holding to strangle her.“I am your wife.” Zoe replied. “We have met two times, Michael. I am Zoe, your wife.”His grip on her neck loosened immediately and he pushed her away from himself. She coughed out, breathing rapidly with relief.“You are his wife, not mine.”She nodded her head, taking few steps away from him. “I am Avery’s wife and he is the real owner of the body. So, I am your wife.” He jerked his head to her direction,

“Gosh, Zoe.” Mia exclaimed, standing up immediately when the full glass of wine hit the floor. She began to clean her dress with the back of her hands as some contents of the wine splashed on her body. “What a way to handle an information.”Zoe shook her head to clear the thought away and then knelt to pick up the pieces from the ground since there were no maids around to do it.“I’ll get cleaning materials.” Mia said before dashing into the house. As Zoe carefully picked up the shards of glass, her thoughts began to run wild again. What Mia had said to her actually made a lot of sense and answered some of the questions she had in her mind. Now she knew there was no way in hell that the threats they were receiving had nothing to do with the family, because it did. There was definitely something fishy going on which led to the death of Felicity.Mia reappeared with a sweeping brush and a little towel for the table. As she began to sweep the floor, Zoe got up from the ground and looked

Avery kissed her like his life depended on it, at the moment it seemed it did. He had wanted to do it to shut her up and prevent her from asking further questions because it was already bad enough that she knew about Aaron’s shady business. But the kiss had turned into something else. She had been standing there looking hot as hell in the little excuse of a gown she had on her body and her barefooted legs that looked sexy as hell. The anger she had on her face when she spoke to him had been attractive as hell and when he had touched her, he had lost it.On the bed, she struggled with him, kissing him in return but also struggling. She managed to roll on the bed and straddled him instead. When she looked at him, it had looked like she was going to go off but she didn’t. Instead, she bent down and roughly took his lips just like he had done before.They kissed for what looked like eternity that he felt his lips throbbing, but that didn’t mean he wanted to stop. He wanted more and he wan

Avery walked into his office the next day after their return to Cally city. He ignored the pitiable looks his employees threw his way and even some of their heartfelt apologies. It has been twelve days since his mother’s passing and this was the first time that he was allowing himself to be seen by people other than his family.Jacob waited by the elevator in his office floor and he gave a nod of acknowledgement to him, leading the way to the office.“I would appreciate it if they stopped looking at me like I just lost my wife.” Avery said to Jacob as the latter opened the door to the office.“Well, you did lose someone and it might not have been your wife, but it was quite a significant person in your life.” He replied.Charlotte stood with a bowed head when he entered the office but he ignored her. As they were about to enter the main office, he had a second thought and came back to where she stood.“From today, you do not greet me with a bowed head, Charlotte. Other people can, but

Zoe watched from a distance with Avery and his siblings as the guest inn close to their main living area was demolished. She couldn’t count how many times since the process began that she had shaken her head because of how ridiculous everything was. Her eyes drifted to Mia who folded her arms with a blank expression on her face and she felt pity for her. Mia would not want to live in a house where her mother was killed.Avery walked up to her and she turned to look at him, shaking her head again when he said nothing to her.“This is a ridiculous decision by the way.” She spoke first and he nodded slowly, his eyes following the movement of the contractors who were driving tractors and putting on helmets. He sighed deeply and for the first time, she tried to understand his reason for doing so.“They had the effrontery to come into my home and kill my mother in her own bedroom.” He replied. “I have to get them, Zoe. I have to get them no matter what.”“I know.” She replied, looking away

Zoe pushed the door of the mansion open and looked around to find some of the maids going about their daily duties. She zoomed past them, hurrying to the dining room where the other servants were busy clearing the table.“Where is my mother?” She asked immediately and one of them turned to look at her, surprise that she was actually there written all over her face.“She should be in her bedroom, Miss, Zoe.” The timid girl replied. “She left here just now.”“When”? Zoe asked, retreating from the dining room but still looking at her.“Five minutes ago.”“Five minutes. Damn it.” She swore under her breath, turning away from the woman. As she made her way up the stairs, Avery walked into the house.“Zoe?” He called.“Upstairs, Avery.” She called without turning to look at him. “They said she is upstairs.”She heard the sound of his feet taking the stairs with her without saying a word. At the top of the stairs, she took the hallway and when she got to her mother’s door, pushed it open wit

After promising Zoe that he was going to look into Aaron, Avery made some calls, asking his people to watch him closely and make sure he was not defying his orders. He was driving to work when he received a call from one of his investigators. Looking at his rearview mirror to make sure his security car was directly behind him, he answered the call on the third ring.“Speak to me.” He said into the phone.“Good morning, Mr. Trent.” The caller spoke in a very clear voice.“Good morning, Trey.”“Your wife was actually correct when she said your brother was still operating his business.” He said and Avery held tightly to the steering. “I watched his warehouse in the city yesterday and his employees were taking in orders and supplying. Some of them even went out in a bus two nights ago.”Avery shook his head. “Did you follow them?”“No, Mr. Trent. I only watched the warehouse.” He replied in a low voice.Avery groaned in anger, unconsciously increasing the speed of his car. He was pissed t

The Billionaire's Bride Epilogue
Zoe went round the little church Avery had picked for them in her simple floral white dress. She had pleaded with him that she didn’t want anything extravagant so he had done his best to get something small in the province close to their vacation home in Maples.Everything was finally going on well with her life. She and Avery were now in a place that she could never have imagined and they were going through life together. Sometimes he sends Aaron messages, to assure him that they were still brothers, but as usual, Aaron ignores them. As a couple, the both of them had visited Francis’s grave together in Maples, bringing him flowers and she had assured Francis that she forgave him for the lies and deceit while they were together.Zoe continued to look at the statue and altar in the catholic church where Avery had agreed they got married because he wanted everything to her taste. She was grateful for him and knew for sure that the both of them were going to have a good life together.“Z

‘I need you home right now’ kept resonating in Avery’s mind even as he dropped the call. He looked at Jacob who was busy surfing through the media, looking for ways to savage the remaining reputation that they had left.“Zoe said she needs me home.” Avery said to Jacob and the latter lifted up his head to attend to him. Avery stood up from his work chair and began to roam around the space between his work table and the window.“She needs you home can mean so many things, Avery.” Jacob said, watching him keenly. “What are you getting worried about?”“She needs me home could also mean that she is tired of the life I am leading with her and wants an out.” Avery responded, watching Jacob who sighed.“If she wants an out, then you have to let her go.”Avery shook his head immediately, knotting his tie that he had loosened when he had been working. When he put on his suit, he turned back to face Jacob.“I cannot live without her, Jacob.” He said. “I have to let her know that I cannot live w

Zoe woke up in the morning to an empty bed. She yawned weakly and rolled off her side of the bed, wondering where the hell Avery had gone to so early. The wall clock in her room read twenty minutes past eight which meant he was supposed to still be in the house.She searched the bathroom and the closet but he was nowhere to be found so she made her way down the stairs. The maids she met on her way greeted her differently and with pity as if they knew exactly what she had been through for the past two days. In the dining room, Kara brought a cup of coffee to her which she accepted with gladness in her heart. Finally, she was in the comfort of her home and could eat anything she liked. That wasn’t possible when she was at the mercy of Aaron.Zoe sipped her coffee, watching Kara who was looking at her with keen eyes. She smiled when she lifted the coffee from her lips at the young girl.“Did you miss me?” She asked, making her blush. “Where is Avery by the way? Have you seen him this mo

Avery held Zoe outside the warehouse as Aaron and his crew were being taken into the police van. His fear had known no bounds while driving to save his wife and that was when he realized that he couldn’t live without Zoe. Jacob was right all along. Aaron, his brother had gotten out of hand and the best thing to do to make sure that he doesn’t do more damage is to put him behind bars.He continued to rub Zoe’s shoulders, kissing her temple when Aaron was brought to stand before the both of them in handcuffs. There was a sorry look on his face but Avery was determined not to be swayed by it.“Avery.” Aaron called, trying to meet his gaze. “You are not going to allow them take me to prison, right?” He asked with a shaky voice.Avery scoffed, finally looking him straight into the eye. “Why wouldn’t I allow them take you to prison?” He asked. “You are a criminal and a murderer. People like you deserve to be in jail.”“Come on, Avery.” Aaron called. “Remember our family name is going to be

Zoe laid still on the cold ground completely ignoring the bed Aaron had asked his people to provide for her the previous day. The room was dark but she was staring at the ceiling, wondering how long it would actually take for Avery to forget her just like Aaron had threatened. That was the only thing keeping her alive at the moment because he had promised to kill her when Avery forgets she existed.She remained still in the dark even when the door opened but squinted when the light on the ceiling was turned on directly above her. Aaron walked up to where she was and looked at her but she ignored him.“Just a little while now, Zoe.” He said, drawing the chair close to him and taking a seat on it. “I was at the house yesterday and Avery is still looking frantically for you. Just a little while now before he forgets about you completely.”Zoe scoffed arrogantly at him, her eyes still focused on the ceiling which she could see clearly now all thanks to the light in the room. His words ind

Avery’s head of security was the only one watching the security cameras and he sat up when he saw Avery walk in.“You had just one job.” Avery said, trying not to scream at the top of his lungs. “You had just one job and that was to make sure you kept her safe.”“Mr. Trent, what…” Daniel stammered.“You were supposed to keep her safe and watch her at every time, what the hell were you doing when she left the house?” Avery continued without giving him time to talk.“Your wife went out in a hurry and we tried to follow her, but she was able to escape the cars.” Daniel spoke“What the hell does that even mean?” Avery screamed this time around. “What the hell is your job if she could disappear out from your sight?”“Mr. Trent, she said you knew where she was heading to.” Daniel said, trying to defend himself. “She told us she had your permission to leave the house and we couldn’t argue with that. She is your wife.”“Don’t you dare remind me what she is because I think I am very well aware
The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 101
Avery shut his work laptop closed and headed out of the office. He had had quite a tedious day and wished nothing but to go home and be in the presence of his wife whether she hated him or not. At least anytime he was with Zoe, a lot of thoughts is being blocked from his head. The only thing she worries him about is Aaron but with that at least, there was a way to maneuver it. He just had to seduce her and she would forget totally about Aaron.Thinking about it now, it had been very long since he seduced Zoe and suddenly, he couldn’t wait to get home. Charlotte knocked on his office door and when he gave her leave to enter, she stuck her head and part of her shoulder in. He saw the strap of her handbag on her shoulders and could tell she too was about to leave.“Do you need anything else sir?” Charlotte asked and he shook his head immediately.“Nothing.” He replied. “You can go home Charlotte. Drive carefully.”She bowed at him and closed the door quietly behind her. Avery on the othe

Zoe tilted her head to watch Aaron and the look on his face carefully. Of course, it was him. She thought, sighing with distress. But why had she not thought about it and why the hell would he kidnap her when Avery had warned him not to come anywhere near her? She clenched her fists in anger, hating that he was two steps ahead of her just when she had thought she had the perfect opportunity to get him the punishment he finally deserved.“You keep on surprising me, Aaron.” She said, trying her best to keep herself calm. “You surprise me every single time.”“Of course, Zoe.” He replied, taking off his suit. “I am full of surprises, am I not?”The man who had brought her the glass of water, came in with a wooden chair for Aaron to sit on and he took the seat from him.“Do you not need me, boss?” The weird looking man asked and Aaron shook his head after giving his suit to him.“I don’t.” Aaron replied, smiling. “I will just have a little fun with my sister-in-law here and be on my way.”
The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 99
Zoe relaxed on her seat and crossed her legs again. There was a certain thing she was feeling that she could barely understand. Yes, Aaron had confessed to killing Francis and she had it on her recorder. Then, why wasn’t she on her way to delivering it to the police together with the pictures Amelia had given her? Why was the satisfaction that he was going to surely be behind bars suddenly feeling bittersweet? Was it because she wasn’t sure how Avery would react to it? Or because she was scared Avery would no longer want her in his life if she puts his brother behind bars.The fact that Avery had become such an important part of her life up to the point that she thought about him before making her decision surprised her so much. She just wanted everything to be settled so that the both of them could savage the remaining aspects of their lives and live safely together. Was that the reason why she was stalling?“Did you just confess to murder?” She asked Aaron, who arrogantly shrugged h
