The Billionaire's Bride Chapter 93
Avery prepared for work the next morning knowing fully well that Zoe had her eyes on him throughout the process. She had refused to speak to him or take any of her mother’s call after finding out from him that Aaron had been released. He understood her perfectly, knowing that she felt betrayed not just by him who claimed to love her, but also by the woman who birthed her and promised to stand by her.As he knotted his tie carefully while looking at his reflection in the mirror, he promised silently that he was going to protect her from his brother with everything he got.He picked up his tablet and phone from the bedside table before heading out of the room. Downstairs, he gave specific orders to the servants to keep their ears open and their minds alert in case of any intrusion even though it was unlikely without his knowledge. After making sure that he had been perfectly understood, he headed to the garage where his Mercedes Benz was sitting pretty waiting for him to go in. He eyed

Avery watched Jacob stand to his feet and faced his brother. Both men looked at each other like two wrestlers about to face off in a ring filled with audience and well-wishers. He had tried all he could to get them to get along personally but none seemed to like the other much. Not knowing what to say to either Jacob or Aaron to dissolve the matter, he decided to fold his arms and watch the both of them go at each other.“Criminals do get arrested, Aaron.” Jacob said. “And you have proven yourself to be a very good one beyond reasonable doubts. You also deserve your own punishment.”Aaron scoffed at him, adjusting his suit arrogantly. “I have always known that you do not fancy me much. But may I remind you that I have my name on the wall of this company.” He started, pointing to the Trent Airlines written in bold letters on the wall across Avery’s desk and Jacob’s eyes followed his fingers. “But you are just an employee who never stops running his mouth.”“I might just be an ordinary

Zoe sat alone in her room holding the little ring recorder her father had given to her in her hands. She was still unaware of how to get Aaron to confess to his crimes on the recorder, but she was going to try. Her plans for coming back had been to get his confessions and take them to popular media houses in the country. That way, Avery would no longer be able to protect him because the whole world will call out for his neck.As she continued to think, her thoughts deviated to her ex-husband; Francis, whom like Avery, had been quite an excellent liar too. At least with Avery, she had suspected little things because of his personalities but Francis had been spotless. He had been the perfect boyfriend and husband afterwards even though they had not been married for long before he died. He had written love poems to her, given her so much attention, showed her some of his novels and manuscripts that it never occurred to her that he had something else going on.She shook her head as her ey

Zoe quickly got into her sweat pants and sweaters, wondering just why someone from her past with Francis was suddenly visiting her in her new home. There were a lot of things on her mind as she looked into the mirror to make herself presentable to face off Amelia. Why was Amelia suddenly visiting now that she just figured out who killed her husband? How did Amelia find her and whom had she spoken to locate her address? What the hell does she want right now? Zoe remembered that the both of them had not gotten along because Amelia had felt Francis didn’t know her enough for him to decide to get married. Shaking her head, she turned to go out of the closet when Avery opened the door.“Do you want me to let her in?” He asked, worry all over his face.“Don’t.” Zoe snapped immediately taking him quite aback. “Sorry, I just don’t want strangers in the house. Remember that we are trying to be careful.”“She is not a stranger.” He argued. “She is a friend, you said you were friends.”“For all

“What did she want?” Avery asked behind her and she turned quickly to see him already dressed for work. Thanking God she had on something with pockets, she slipped the flash drive into her pocket.“She is a friend.” Zoe replied immediately, forgetting that she had previously said Amelia wasn’t her friend. “She came to catch up, but I sent her along. Drive safely to work.”She rushed into the house and her room quicky without looking back or wondering if Avery had been suspicious about her quirkiness. Inside the room, she took the tablet Avery left for the purpose of security and inserted the drive into it immediately.Just like Amelia had said, she did capture everything about the night Francis was killed. Although the faces of Aaron and his friends were not clear enough, their voices were very much so. She scoffed out loud, excitement forming in her heart. How stupid and careless had Aaron been not to even notice that there were other guests in the house and not just them. For the fi

Zoe tried her best to offer him a smile and also to steady her voice, before taking the bold steps to face him. In the past, she was never disgusted by him. Yes, they had not really gotten along and had their own differences, but she didn’t use to hate him as she was hating him now. In the past, she considered him her brother-in-law who had suspicions about her, her brother-in-law whom she was keeping secrets about her previous marriage from because she didn’t want him or any other member of the family to figure out her past life.But now, looking at Aaron Trent hits differently especially since this was the first time she was seeing him after his near arrest that made him spend some hours in prison. He had the look of someone mischievous and someone who didn’t care that his past mistake had led to the death of his beloved sister and mother. Suddenly looking at his eyes now, he definitely looked like one who could order a murder and feel nothing while the murder took place.And she ha

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

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 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

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
