The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Difficult Choices
Chapter 87James stood his face wide concerning the bomb Chloe had just dropped on him. Not his daughter, Ava? It felt like a bad dream."You lie," he said, shaking. "This can't be true."Chloe's smirk stretched even further apart. "Oh, but it is, James. The result shows that indeed, your darling little girl isn't from you after all."James felt his stomach turn. He looked again, hoping to find anything at all that could prove all of this to be some sort of silly mistake. The further he read, the more and more real it became."How?" he managed to finally ask. "How is this possible?"Chloe shrugged again as if she could have been bored. "Does it really matter? The real fact is, that Ava isn't your real daughter. And I'm sure the press would love every last detail of it."James's head snapped up. "You wouldn't dare," he growled."Try me," Chloe shot back. "I have nothing to lose, James. You, on the other hand…" She let the sentence hang in the air.James's mind ran wild with thoughts of
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Race Against Time
Chapter 88: James paced his study, his phone to his ear. He had cashed in every favor, leveraged every contact in the bag, and pulled up all the stops. The stakes were too high to let any stone be left unturned. "No, I need it fast," he hissed into the receiver, his voice taut. "I don't care how much it bloody costs; just get it done."As he put down the phone, the first light of morning shimmered through the curtains. The heap of empty coffee mugs on his desk was evidence that he had really been awake all night.He involuntarily jumped when there was a soft knock on the door. There was concern etched on Lily's face. "James? Have you been up all night?"He passed a hand through his rumpled hair. "Yeah, I. I had some things to take care of."Lily stepped further into the room, her gaze traveling over the chaos of papers covering every available surface. "James, please. This has gone on long enough. Tell me what's going on. I know it's about Ava, but."James so felt the weight of hi
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride The Final Confrontation
Chapter 89: James felt like he had been punched in the gut. On that screen were Lily and Ava—totally unaware. James spun around to face Chloe, with angry eyes."What the hell is this, Chloe?" he growled.Chloe smiled, but it wasn't friendly. "Insurance, James. Just in case you got any bright ideas about exposing our little chat in the park."The board members fidgeted in their seats. They clearly hadn't been expecting this kind of drama.James inhaled deeply, trying to control himself. "This is low, even for you," he said. "Leave my family out of this.""But they are already practical," she purred. She addressed the board directly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time we get started, don't you?"The head of the board, Mr. Thompson, cleared his throat. "Yes, well, we're here today to discuss the allegations against Mr. Watson and to vote on his future as CEO of Watson Industries."James sat down, feeling his mind racing. He had to be smart about it. Not let Chloe win, but neither
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride The Betrayal
Chapter 90:James felt like his world was falling apart. Lily and Ava were gone. Chloe had them. He couldn't believe this was happening.He ran back outside. "Louis! Call Rodriguez. Now!"Louis was already on the phone. "I'm trying, boss. No answer."James walked backward and forward across his front lawn. His mind raced with thoughts of how this could have happened. Chloe was behind bars. None of it made any sense.The phone buzzed again. Another text from that unknown number:"Tick tock, James. Your family's waiting. Meet me at the old warehouse 19th street in an hour. Come alone, or they pay the price."James showed Louis the text. "What do you think?"Louis scowled. "It has to be a trap. We should just wait for the cops.""We don't have time!" James snarled. Then he breathed deeply. "Sorry. I just. I can't risk anything happening to them."Louis nodded. "I get it, boss. But we need a plan."They racked their brains for the next 45 minutes. James would enter the warehouse, and Loui
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Feeling Down
Chapter 91:As if the very night was making the realization more painful, the early onslaught of misfortunes had calmed to an eerie silence. James was there, on the back of an ambulance, a shock blanket enveloping his form, never taking his eyes off Lily and Ava as the EMTs worked on their injuries.Detective Rodriguez trotted up to him, his face grim. "Chloe is been taken to the hospital. The shot wasn't fatal... She'll live to see justice."James nodded, feeling numb. He should feel relieved, but the only sensation in his body was a deep, aching emptiness."And Louis?" he asked.Rodriguez shook his head. "Still no sign of him. We've got road blocks set up, but." He trailed off, leaving the unspoken possibility hanging in the air.James closed his eyes, feeling the weight of betrayal crushing down on him. Louis. The guy who did all of his leg work. His right-hand man. Or so he thought."Mr. Watson?" A voice, gentle, through his thoughts. He looked up to see a young officer. "Your wif
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Shadows and Suspicions
Chapter 92: James pulled into the drive, still thinking about all that had happened. He got out of the car and looked over at his house. It was supposed to be a safe place. Now it was different. Weird. Like it wasn't really his anymore.He trudged up to the front door, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. But the house did seem to have its vitality to it: laughter from the living room belonging to Ava. It made him smile, maybe for the first time in what had seemed like forever."Daddy!" Ava shouted when he walked in, running up and wrapping her arms around his legs.James swept her into a bear hug. "Hey, kiddo. How are you?""I'm good," she answered. "Mommy made hot chocolate!""Did she now?" James glanced over at Lily, curled onto the couch with her mug. She offered him a small smile."You want some?" Ava asked."Maybe later, kiddo," James said, setting her down. "Why don't you go finish your hot chocolate? I need to talk to Mommy for a minute." Ava nodded and skipped b
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride The Chase
Chapter 93As white as the back of his hands became through the hue of the wheel itself, the black SUV on their tail continued to somehow inch closer and closer to them."James, what is going on?" Lily somehow forced out, her voice tight with fear."I don't know," James gritted out. "But I'm not stopping to find out."He floored it and the car surged forward. The mountain road weaved and curved ahead of them—every turn being a new obstacle.Ava squirmed in her seat. "Mamma? Why're we going so fast?"Lily smiled weakly at her daughter. "It's okay, sweetheart. Daddy is just. Well, he's practicing his race car driving. Why don't you look out the window and count the trees?"Ava yawned and turned toward the window to look out. Lily looked at James with worry clouding her eyes. "What are we gonna do?".James raised his eyes to the rearview mirror again and found it: the SUV behind them was still there and had responded to his turns and curves, imitating every move. "We gotta shake them. T
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Desperate Measures
Chapter 94His heart raced in his chest as he could not tear his gaze away from Lily and Ava. They looked scared but also unharmed. For now."Let them go, Louis," James said, desperately trying to keep his voice steady. "This's between you and me."Louis chuckled stepping forward and coming to a stop directly behind Lily and Ava, finally laying a hand on Ava's shoulder—making James's blood boil."Oh, James. When will you learn? Everything you care about is fair game now."Ava whimpered and Lily tried to comfort her daughter. "It's okay, sweetie. Daddy's here now. Everything will be alright."James wished he could believe that. He tugged at the ropes binding his hands, but they were too tight."What do you want, Louis?" James asked, his mind racing to find a way out of this.Louis's face turned serious. "What I've always wanted, James. Control of the company. Your money. Your life.""You're insane," James spat."Maybe." Louis shrugged. "But the situation here is under control with me.
