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

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.
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride In the Balance
#Chapter 95: The world whizzed around James in a strobe light blur, cut-off voices, and paramedics busting around hard, sweating over Lily. They didn't look all that hopeful-not that James needed the distressed expressions to convey the message he'd already gotten loud and clear. This was not looking good. "Sir. "No," James mumbled, still feeling too stunned. "I can't leave her." "We're trying to help her," the paramedic told him firmly. "Please, just let us do our job." At last, James let them take Lily away. He stood in a complete state of helplessness, watching as they pulled his little daughter onto a stretcher and into an ambulance that had apparently been simply waiting for her. A policeman approached him. "Mr. Watson? I'm Officer Chen. Can you describe the events of tonight? James's eyes had already welled up, blurring. "Louis. He shot Lily. He ran into the woods. And Ava." Then clarity returned to his mind again. "Ava! She has to be out here somewhere. We have t
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Decisions and Discoveries
Chapter 96: James was all but watching as his world shattered into shards. He was able to do nothing but watch the doctors and their efforts to revive Lily. Alarms were blaring, and he could hardly get air."Bloody hell, Lily," he muttered, tears forming in his emerald eyes. "You can't leave us now.""Oh, God, Lily," he whispered, tears welling in his green eyes. "You can't leave us now."Moments, which felt like it, had spared their way in sound; the alarms stopped. The double door opened. Then came tired yet relieved eyes, bearing the look of a doctor."We have her stable," he said. "Touch and go there for a few minutes, but she's hanging in there."James exhaled, a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "Thank you," he said in a voice so unsteady it trembled. "Um, can I see her?" The doctor nodded. "Briefly. But she needs rest."James returned to Lily's room. Lying there, she still seemed incredibly small and washed out in color. He reached out and took her hand, awkwardly

Chapter 97 It was a pretty sleepless night for James. He dozed in the chair beside Lily's bed, where nurses continued to come in from time to time to check on her. Ava was curled up on the cot in the corner, amazingly asleep—though she shouldn't have been sleeping so easily after the last nutty few days. James almost envied her for being able to sleep through all this. As the first light of dawn crawled through this or that hospital window, James sat there, wondering how fast their lives had changed. Just a week ago, their biggest problem was which preschool to put Ava in; now he was sitting in the hospital with his wife shot and stitched up and their whole world upside down. His phone buzzing snapped him out of the reverie. Rodriguez was on the other end. "Louis agreed to meet," Rodriguez whispered in a soft tone. "He'll be at the old warehouse in an hour. You sure you want to do this?" James rubbed his eyes, feeling tired. "No, but we don't have much choice. I'll be there." He

Chapter 98"Lily," the woman said, her voice breaking. "It's really you."Lily stared at the woman in shock. "Who... who are you?"The woman took a step closer, her hands shaking. "I'm Rachel. Your sister."The room fell silent. James looked at Lily, who seemed to be in complete shock. Ava looked between Lily and Rachel, her young face scrunched up in confusion."That's impossible," Lily whispered. "I don't have a sister. I have a cousin named Maggie, but I don't know you."Rachel shook her head, her eyes filling with tears. "I know about Maggie. But I'm not her. I'm your sister, Lily. We were separated when we were babies. I only found out a few years ago, and I've been looking for you ever since."James stood up, putting himself between Rachel and Lily. "I'm sorry, but this is a lot to take in. Do you have any proof of what you're saying?"Rachel nodded. She pulled out a folder from her bag, her hands still shaking. "I have DNA test results, birth records, everything. I know it's ha
