Louis paced back and forth as James sat hunched over the desk, his brow furrowed."You're telling me Chloe Adams could be involved in this Petrov mess?" James said gruffly. "But she's supposed to be locked up in that psychiatric hospital."Louis shook his head. . "I realize, that's what we concept too. But a number of the intel we have accrued factors to her having a hand in things from the inside.""How's that even possible?" James slammed his fist at the desk. "We've had spherical-the-clock surveillance on that area since she went nuts.""Could be she has some inside help," Louis said grimly. "Maybe one of the guards or staff is working for her, keeping her in the loop."James let out a frustrated growl. "Damn it, I should've seen this coming. That woman's obsession knows no bounds."He stood up, taking a deep breath and running a hand through his hair. "Alright Louis, here is what we are exactly going to do. Double the
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Chloe's Mole
Chapter 61 A few days later, James was in his office looking over some files when Louis came rushing in. His face was pale. "Boss, we can also have a huge hassle," Louis stated, out of breath. "I simply got a disturbing report about one of the nurses on the psychiatric hospital." James looked up, narrowing his eyes. "What is it?" "Apparently this nurse, Emily Davis, has been acting really strange lately. Calling in sick a lot, getting caught sneaking around restricted areas, that kind of thing." "And you think she could be the Chloe mole we've been looking for?" James asked gruffly. Louis nodded grimly. "It definitely seems suspicious as hell. We pulled her personnel file and there are some big red flags." He slid the file over to James, who began flipping through it with a furrowed brow. There were notes about Emily having past issues with drugs and gambling debts. "Yeah, I can see how someone with problems like this might be easy to bribe or manipulate," James said. "
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Got Them

Our intel finally paid off on the Petrov operation." James looked up, eyes narrowing. "You're sure about this?" "Damn sure," Louis said, tossing a file onto the desk. "Our undercover guy was able to get video evidence of Petrov meeting with that dirty cop we've been after. They're caught red-handed discussing payoffs and illegal activities." James flipped through the record, analyzing the pictures and transcripts with a satisfied nod. "Well, I'll be. Looks like the rat finally took the cheese." "Should we move in and take them down?" Louis asked eagerly. Leaning again in his chair, James thought for a moment then shaking his head "Not yet. Let's have a little fun with them first. Set up a meet, just me and Petrov's top guys. I want to see the fear in their eyes before we burn their whole operation to the ground." Louis grin
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Four Years Later
Chapter 63Four years later..."Mummy, mummy, look!" Lily turned towards her 4-year-old daughter Ava, with a warm smile as she came running over, a masterpiece of finger paints clutched boldly in her little hands. "Well, well, would you look at that?... Nicely done" Lily said, bending down to get a better view. "This may simply be your simply first-rate paintings yet, candy pea!"Ava beamed, her cherubic face lighting up with pride at the praise. "It's you and daddy and me, see? We're all holding hands in the park!"Indeed, amid the vibrant swirls of color, Lily could make out three stick figure forms, one smaller between two taller ones, their stick arms linked together. Her heart melted a little at the innocently joyful scene her daughter had captured."You're such a talented little artist already," Lily said, pulling Ava into a warm hug. "Just like your mommy."Ava giggled, smearing a streak of purple paint across Lily's cheek as she squirmed playfully. "When I get bigger, I'm go
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride My Girls
Chapter 64The next morning, Lily awakened to the tantalizing aroma of sparkling espresso and some thing splendidly sweet wafting up from the kitchen. Smiling, she stretched languidly before slipping out of bed and into her preferred silk gown.Padding downstairs, she saw James already dressed for work and expertly flipping golden pancakes on the stove at the same time as Ava sat at the kitchen island, fortuitously coloring away in her pajamas."Well, well, looks like I married a regular master chef," Lily quipped, coming up behind James to wrap her arms around his waist and press a kiss between his shoulder blades. He chuckled, turning his head to capture her lips in a proper good morning kiss. "Don't let the pancakes fool you, this is about the extent of my culinary prowess. Figured I'd treat my girls before heading into the office."Ava glanced up from her coloring with a grin. "Daddy makes the best pancakes ever! He even put chocolate chips in mine, see?" She held up a forkful o

She saw her little girl within the residing room, having a very extreme tea celebration with her teddy bear."Mum, you're back!" Ava chirped, leaping up to hug Lily's legs. "Come have tea with me and Mr. Snuggles!""It will be my pleasure ," Lily said, placing a kiss on her daughter's head and letting herself be tugged over to the adorably mismatched tea set. For the subsequent hour, she immersed herself within the magical global of make-believe, sipping imaginary tea and listening raptly to Ava's stories.It was a welcome respite from the stricken mind niggling at her, a chance to just be surprised at her daughter's innocence and bright imagination.

The Billionaire's Drunken Bride It's A Mess
Chapter 66It was nearly midnight by the time James eventually walked through the front door, looking exhausted and grim. Lily was curled up on the sofa looking forward to him, having spent the previous few hours alternating between checking on a slumbering Ava and pacing restlessly.She at once went to James, wrapping her arms round his waist and feeling some of the anxiety drain out of him as he hugged her back. For long seconds, they just held each other, drawing strength and comfort. Finally, James pulled back with a heavy sigh. "It's a goddamn mess, Lil," he said, scrubbing a hand over his face. "The forensic accountants are still untangling everything, however it seems like we are dealing with a seriously state-of-the-art embezzlement scheme."Lily led him to the sofa, never relinquishing her hold on his hand. "What did you discoverso far? Any leads on who is behind it?"James' jaw clenched. "Not yet. Whoever set this up truly knew what they had been doing. They funneled the m
