The Billionaire's Drunken Bride The Breakout
Chapter 108The alarms were so noisy, beating, that it became hard to recall the usual cliche of one's heart pounding. For James, it certainly was; he had one priority: to get through to Lily."Where would Elena get her to?" he yelled over the tumult to Sarah.Sarah shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe her office?""Worth a shot," Jack said, already leading the charge with his gun ready.They turned the corner and all but ran into two more guards. Jack was quick on the response, smashing one across the face with the butt of his weapon. James didn't make out quite as well: he reared off, tried to spear the second guard to the ground, and could do little more than push him back against the wall."Where's Lily?" he growled.The man's eyes went wide. "I-I don't know who that is!"James struck him with the shoulder blade again. "Blonde woman. Elena just took her. Where?""Top floor! Elena's private rooms!" the guard squeaked.James let him fall and turned to the others. "Come on."They fou
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride The Cabin In The Woods
Chapter 109James and Lily had been driving all day. The old, rattling, shaking car they'd rented kept going. James was tired; the road was dull, long. A long time ago, Lily had fallen asleep.As the sun started to rise, James saw the turnoff he was looking for. He gently shook Lily awake."We're almost there," he said.Lily rubbed at her eyes and looked around. They seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, no doubt."Where are we?" she asked."A good hour from Asheville. The cabin's just ahead there," James assured.They bumped along the crummy dirt road for another ten minutes. At last, they arrived in a small clearing. Lying in the trees was a snug-looking little log cabin.James pulled over and turned off the car, and they both got out to stretch their stiff legs."It's beautiful," Lily said, looking around at the peaceful forest."It is," James agreed. "My grandfather built it. I used to come here when I was a kid."He dragged their few belongings from the car and ushered her insid
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride A Fresh Plan
Chapter 110James rose early the next morning. He lay in bed not sleeping due to the thoughts running through his mind as to what was happening to them. It did not sit well for him that she was to pretend and join Elena. He lifted his eyes to the wooden ceiling of the cabin and had a new thought starting to form in his mind.He rose up real quiet, not wanting to wake up Lily. He went into the kitchen, took some coffee, and sat beside this arm-wobbling table. He took a notebook out from his bag and started to write down everything coming to his mind on paper.One hour later, Lily yawned her way out of the bedroom. "Morning," she mumbled, shuffling right past him toward the stove with the coffee pot."Hey," said James, looking up from his notes. "Sleep okay?"Lily shrugged. "To the best of my ability, under the circumstances." She poured coffee to cup and she sat down across from James. "What is all this?" she asked, nodding at his notebook.James took a deep breath. "I've been thinki
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride A Horrible Turn of Events
Chapter 111James and Lily got up the following morning to start their plan. They had a light breakfast and got done to go out in the town. It was as if they were going to step out of the house when James's phone rang. He did not recognize the number."Hello?" he answered cautiously."James? This is Maggie," came the voice of Lily's cousin, quite panicked."Maggie? What's wrong?" James quickly put the phone on speaker so Lily could listen."It's Elena," Maggie had hiccoughs between the sobs as she spoke out her words. "She. she took Ave. And Michael. he's been hurt. It's bad, James."Lily gasped, her face going pale. James felt his stomach drop. "What happened?" he demanded."I don't know everything," Maggie sobbed. "Elena showed up at the house with a few guys. They took Ave. Michael tried to intervene, and. and Elena stabbed him. He's in the hospital now. Not doing well."Lily let out a broken sob, and James wrapped an arm around her, trying to keep his own panic at bay. "Where's Av
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride A Desperate Gambit
Chapter 112James and Lily had gotten little sleep the night before. They had spent the night at the hospital, speaking with everyone who seemed to have an interest in their daughter, laboriously working out their plan to save Ave. By morning, they were exhausted but resolute."Okay, let's go over what we know," said James, taking a sip of his coffee in the hospital cafeteria.She set the bag on her lap and nodded. "Elena has Ave. She wants your company and for you to divorce me. We have…" she checked her watch, "about 18 hours left before her deadline.""Yeah," James nodded. "And she still has Jack and Sarah too. We haven't heard anything from Louis either."At that mention of the missing friends, Lily's face fell. "God, I hope they're okay."Over the table, James reached and grasped her hand in his. "We'll get them all back. I promise."Then his secure phone buzzed. It was Mike."James, we might have something," Mike said when James answered. "We traced that call from Elena. It boun
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride The Heart of the Darkness
Chapter 113James's brain was storming up as much as it could while Elena's men dragged him under in the warehouse. He had to get free, to get to Ave, but first, he had to know where this was all leading because everything was just too crazy.What felt like an eternity of twists and turns later, they bundled him into a darkened room. Small, with just one bulb that cast flickering shadows overhead and bared the concrete walls. The door slammed shut behind him, and James found himself all alone with Elena.She circled him, a predator sizing up its prey. "You know, James, I really did hope we could do this the easy way," she said, her voice oozing with false disappointment. "But you just had to play the hero, didn't you?"James glared at her. "Where's Ave?" he demanded.Elena chuckled. "Oh, she's safe. For now. But her continued well-being depends entirely on you.""What do you want?" James growled, but he knew the answer."The same thing I've always wanted," Elena replied smoothly. "You
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Shadows and Reflections
Chapter 114Dawn spread across the city, scattering its light as slowly it began to stir alive, the industrial park filled with long shadows stretching out from everything, as a figure slid noiselessly along the warehouse corridors. Rachel had watched everything from those same shadows— sister to the recently discovered Lily, she was torn by loyalties and a mind in conflict.She stopped at the door of James's treatment room, from where he now sat jiggling screws off the air vent. Her heart thumping, Rachel hovered her hand over the door handle, contemplating the dilemma: if she helped him, she betrayed Elena, and if she didn't, she stuck by the years-long plan.Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Chloe Adams began to stir from her medically induced coma, brought out of it by her doctor. The last thing Chloe remembered was the searing pain of a bullet tearing through her shoulder and the chaos of her botched attempt at taking down James and Lily.A nurse rushed to Chloe's side as her
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Shadows Deepen
Chapter 115The air of the warehouse became electrified with tension. Elena's gun moved back and forth between James and Lily. Ave clutched at her mother's leg, whimpering softly. James stood in front of his family, protecting them as his mind raced for some way out of this nightmare."Elena," James said. His voice was surprisingly steady, despite his heart beating like a drum in his chest. "Think about what you are doing. Is this truly what you want?"Elena's eyes flickered, a mixture of anger and something much more profound, more complex. "What Ido want? You have no idea what I want, James. This is so much more than just about your company."Lily spoke up, her voice trembling. "Why are you doing this? You show up out of nowhere, claim to be my mother, and now you're threatening us? What do you really want?"For a moment, something flickered in Elena's eyes—pain, maybe, or the shadow of regret. But it vanished as swiftly as it came, her gaze turning back to one of steely determinati
