The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 74
Avery and Jacob sat together in his study trying to talk about work and the company. Avery had a glass of scotch in his hands, contemplating on whether to drink it just to escape from the ache he was feeling in his chest for a moment or to deal with his loss like a normal man. He traced his fingers around the rim of the round and short cup, staring at the content even though he wasn’t seeing anything.“Are you going to drink that?” Jacob asked him, but he shook his head avoiding eye contact. The color of the scotch and how pretty it looked inside the cup intrigued him surprisingly and he found peace just by looking at it.“Do you want me to drink it?” He asked Jacob in return who said nothing to him. They were supposed to be discussing company policies and not talk about scotch, but Avery found himself not wanting to talk about work when his sister was prepared to be buried six feet below the ground.“Maybe I should drink the scotch.” He replied. “Scotch helps sometimes and thank God

“What man with a tattoo, Zoe?” Avery asked but she shook her head, trying to clear her memory of the horrible dream that she just had. She dreamt about Francis again and this time around, the man who had killed him was trying to reveal his face to her but somebody else had prevented her from seeing him. Somebody had prevented her from being killed that night and had knocked her out of her consciousness. It was that person that stood between herself and the man who brutally ordered the killing of her ex-husband. And now, everything was becoming clearer. The pieces were beginning to be put in place and it all happened because she had recognized the man from the picture. He had triggered her memory and now all she experienced that night was beginning to reveal itself. “Zoe?” Avery called again, studying her, making sure she was alright. She turned to look at him, no longer sure that she trusted him or herself any longer. If someone from her husband’s past was killing them off, then eith

Avery and Zoe settled into the new house in the next few days and began to live their lives again. The pain of Mia’s death began to subside and they were able to smile like nothing happened. Just like Jacob had said, the security system in the new house was not questionable as it did exceed their expectations. Her mother still sent some of her men and they stood outside the gate every time of the day without taking a break which made Zoe wonder whether they slept at all.It was past ten in the night when Zoe walked downstairs to see Avery waiting at the foot of the stairs with two glasses of wine in his hand. She wasn’t surprised when she saw his to be alcohol because, they had both promised to try to ease him into mastering alcohol and controlling his personalities. When she got to the foot of the staircase, she accepted the other glass with a smile on her face.He was dressed in blue jeans and a white polo that showed just handsome he could be. Zoe smiled at his bare feet, realizing

The sound of the ambulance coming from the distance relieved Zoe, making her calm a little more than she was before. She touched her bleeding head and felt the light blood on the tip of her hands. Someone screamed her name from inside the company and she saw her mother running out towards her. She turned fully, accepting the hug her mother threw her way and allowed her to dote on her like every daughter mother do.“Oh my God, what the hell happened?” Margery asked. Zoe felt her mother’s hands shaking and took them in hers. She might have forgotten that aside been a very important person to Avery at the moment, she was equally as important to her mother.“I am fine, mum.” Zoe said calmly to her, wincing when Margery touched the cut on her head. “I am fine.”Margery stared at the scene in horror, shaking her head in the process and Zoe joined her in accessing the exploded car. The roof of the vehicle was blown off and flames engulfed the inside. Whoever might have planted the bomb did a

“They saw nothing on your company’s security cameras.” Avery said to Zoe as he joined her in the dining rom. He eyed the bacon and coffee in front of him, feeling anything but hunger at the moment. “It was all passersby and moving cars.”Zoe sighed as she sipped her coffee. She had not been expecting anything good to come out from the investigations because just like Avery had said, the perpetrators were good at what they did. She took a slice of bacon in her fork, placing it in her mouth before turning to look at him.“Did you ask my mother about the guard that I told you about?” She asked in between bites and he nodded.“She said he left.”Zoe stopped chewing at the moment and stared at him. “He left?”“Yeah.” He replied absentmindedly, finally picking up the cup from the table. “He submitted his resignation to the head of security and disappeared. Maybe the event of yesterday affected him.”Zoe shook her head, realizing that she might have seen the man who placed the bomb in the ca
The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 79
Avery believed what Jacob was saying to him although it made him mad. He has always suspected that Aaron could be friends or acquaintances with the people who had killed his mother and sister and almost killed Zoe, but he still wanted to be wrong. He watched Zoe’s face as she also looked at the picture, realizing that she wasn’t shocked or surprised. It was almost as if she knew who was in the picture.“Does it ring a bell, Zoe?” He asked, watching her and she looked up to meet his gaze, shaking her head afterwards.“No bell.” She replied. “But why was Aaron talking to someone like this? If this man was at the scene and he was having a heated argument with him, then maybe Aaron knows something that he is not telling us.”“Aaron has a lot of things that he is not telling us. He doesn’t care for me as much as he did when my mother and Mia were still alive.” Avery replied bitterly.“We need to talk to him, Avery.” Zoe said, wide eyed, hoping that he would say yes and he nodded his head.

“I do not like how you put me in a jet and bring me down here expecting me to come have fun when we have a lot of things to deal with.”Zoe complained as she dumped the little bag inside the house. Avery had asked her out on a vacation instead of explaining what happened at Aaron’s and that seemed suspicious. Every day that passes, he seems to be keeping a lot of things from her even though they had promised to have eachother’s backs. It was because of his secrets she refused to tell him that she knew the man from the picture. That she had seen him the day Mia was killed. That he was a very close acquaintance of her ex-husband; Francis, whom he had high regards for.It was all because of his secrets that she was refusing to trust him a hundred percent.Zoe turned to watch Avery enter the house, dropping his car keys on the table. He looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. “It is the weekend, Zoe.” He replied. “I thought we needed two days off the worries and the anxiety of living in
The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 81
Zoe placed a bottle of wine on the already set dining table. After their trip to Lian, Avery had gotten a peaceful reawakening and invited Aaron to the house so that they would stick together and talk about how to help the police with their investigations. She had on a pretty white gown and allowed her hair to flow over her shoulders. Her feet were bare, because she wanted to give a homey atmosphere.She heard footsteps behind her to see Avery walk in, dressed in a white short and a red polo, also giving off the homey atmosphere.“I saw his car pull up into the garage, so he will be here in no time.” Avery said, looking over at the dining table.Zoe smiled at him, turning to investigate the table with him again. There were grapes and other fruits coupled with different types of evening dishes. Avery had told her pasta was one of Aaron’s favorites so she had asked the maids to make a very good pasta which exceeded her expectations when she tasted it.“We are ready.” She said rubbing hi
