Chapter 10 - Pick Her Up
Last Updated:
2023-01-22 20:00:00“Let me get this straight!” Iris heard Rose’s voice in the counter area.
She was in the kitchen and took the second batch of cupcakes from the oven. The sweet smells wafted through the store and could instantly soothe her confused heart and mind.
“Oh gosh! That smells so good, Iris!” Her best friend got distracted by the smells and did not press her questions again.
After Rose got her call, she came immediately to her store and directly bombarded Iris with many questions with a worried expression written on her beautiful face.
Starting with, “What happened, Iris?”
And of course, Iris–who realized that she was a tad overdramatic on the phone–fi

‘The leather of this Rolls-Royce car is divine!’ It was the first reaction that came to Iris’ mind when her body touched the passenger seat of this ultra-sleek car. Alexander slid smoothly beside her, and he kept close contact with Iris. His broad shoulder nipped Iris’, and his sturdy legs took up the place so Iris must hurry over to avoid his big body. “We will go straight to the airport,” he said to the driver before he put the partition glass up to cover their privacy in the passenger seats. “Wait… wait… hold up! Airport?!” Iris whipped her head to see the man. “Yeah, we will go to my office in Baltimore before we go back here again. The are some businesses I need to check first.” He calmly answered Iris. Iris was at a loss. “If you are that busy! Why do you insist on having a date with me!” She could not hold her irritation anymore. “Just stop right here! Let’s call this thing off! I don’t think we are compatible at all!” She told him with a strong objection voice. And as

ALEXANDERHe stared at the girl who sat in front of him in his private jet. His jet-set lifestyle apparently impressed a lot of girls, and they even desperately begged Alexander to choose one of them as his partner. They were begging on their knees and prayed so Alex could choose them as a sugar baby. Of course, he was familiar with that scene. It was normal in his lifestyle. His peers, even his predecessor were doing those things as well. No one was immune to money. And the power behind it. So he expected that Iris also fell for his proposition. He gave a generous offer that must be impossible to refuse. Look at Iris’ face right now, she was extremely pale. With effort, Alex concealed his smile and waited for her to get his answer. “Shit! Ten million? In US Dollars?” she whispered to him. Alex could not hold his smile anymore. “Yes, you will get them if you agree to marry me.” “Wow!” she said spontaneously. Really, she was really cute and he tried to control his desire not to

They landed on time and after that, they were escorted to a private helipad in another section and directly took the sleek black private helicopter with the golden cursive “B” word drawn aesthetically in the helicopter door. ‘That must be the abbreviation of Browning.’ Iris mused inside her head. She felt slightly relieved after she could stand her ground and refused his tempting proposal. But she would not trade her dream to have a dream wedding with the love of her life. Of course, ten million was a gazillionaire amount of money. But she was sane enough to decline the offer. Iris could not run away after turning down the man, so she was unfortunately stuck and had to follow Alexander's agenda tonight. The quick helicopter ride was awkward on Iris's end. She was quiet the whole time. Only Alex talked and barked some orders to a man that Iris assumed was one of his staff in the Baltimore office. They arrived around ten minutes later, and Alex offered his hand as support for Iris

ALEXANDERIt pissed him enough when he got a call right before he picked up Iris to have their first date and his first attempt to make Iris on board with his decision to get a contract marriage. He got a call from his Baltimore office. There are some mix-ups and it needed his attention soon. That was why he needed to change his plan and made a detour. And now they were settling in his Baltimore penthouse. He did not intend this to happen in this place, but he got blindsided and Iris straightway refused him on the plane, so he need another backup plan. He needed this to happen with Iris. Not with another girl that he was sure would get himself high and dry, and only saw him by his greens. With his mind set on Iris, he tried another tactic. Seduction. It was always a success with other women before. “Because, from the first time I laid my eyes on you, I know that you have to be mine!” This was what he said when Iris insisted on asking why it had to be her. And he meant every wo

IRIS Of course, Iris did not comprehend his words at first. What he said with ease successfully ticked her off. Iris finally burst out laughing heartily. “No, that’s impossible!” she stated. “What’s impossible?” he asked back. “Nothing is impossible. We can do it,” he added. “Sit here, Iris. Let’s for once… we talk like an adult.” His advice irked Iris. But to be honest, her heart skipped a beat when she heard his suggestion. Falling in love with each other, sounded like a perfect fairy tale. In the end, it was only a tale and not a reality. “Look, just let’s try first. I just need two years. That’s all. After that, we can part ways. I will be a perfect husband for you, you will forget it’s just a contract marriage.” Alex coaxed him wholeheartedly. “There will be a prenuptial agreement, and you can write down your requirements.” At that, for a split second, she thought and weighed down his offers. But again, it was a crazy proposition in the first place. And not to m

ALEXANDERThis morning, Alexander had something to do.He needed to follow up regarding Iris’ background with Sebastian. Alexander called him and they connected in one try.“Sebastian, we need to meet today,” Alex said directly at him.“Sure, you want me to brief you about Iris Denvier?” Sebastian asked back, and he confirmed his questions.“When?” Sebastian asked curtly.“Today, noon. I also have another thing to discuss with you about.” Alexander told him.“Confidential?” Sebastian seemed a little curious.

Sebastian frowned when he took the notebook.“My Mom mentioned it in passing. She was not writing it in detail.” Alex noted.“That’s a serious allegation,” That was what Sebastian responded. He returned the pages and skimmed them quite fast.“I will see what I can do for this,” Sebastian finally nodded and confirmed that he would take the case.“Have you heard about this before?” Alex shook his head.“It was a first time, only because I read that book, and I don’t have any lead for that,” he added.Alexander remembered the first time he read the passage. And he remembered th

ALEXANDERHe slid down from the second floor where he just had a meeting with Ruthford men. When he intended to go back home, he met Julianne on the first floor. She was standing near the stairs and her face was stricken with fear and shame when their eyes met. One more thing that he needed to do. Talked with Julianne. “Julianne,” he greeted the girl. He must agree with the consensus saying that Julianne Ruthford was a rose and a diamond in high society. She was beautiful, delicate, and utterly feminine. Her long wavy blond hair was always in place. The soft feature on her face accentuated her beauty. With a body like a supermodel, it was no secret that she garnered many admirers from high society. Sometimes the paparazzi tailed her like she was a Hollywood actress only to get the best pictures and sold it to gossip magazines. “Ah, Alexander…” her soft voice carried through even though she said it in a small voice. Alex was on the first floor and stood in front of the girl. “I

Three months later… Alex walked out of the courthouse with Iris beside him. He kept Iris close and believed their bodyguards do their work perfectly to fend off the rush of journalists waiting outside. The buzz of the journalist throwing off the questions for them made Alex more protective of his pregnant wife. “Stay with me,” he said to Iris closely, in case Iris could not hear him well. Iris only nodded and put her body closer to him while walking together into their Rolls Royce car that was already on standby and waiting for their arrival. “Mr. Browning, how is the trial? Are you happy with the sentence? What do you feel that your father is a criminal convict?” The journalists viciously gave a bunch of questions at him, from the fair questions to the silliest and the most outrageous ones. “Mrs. Browning, are you alright? Do you think the sentence is fair after what Jonathan did to you? Please give us statements!” Some journalists shouted from afar, chasing Iris and Alex do

Alex went into full panic mode. He barked some orders here and there to prepare the driver to bring them to the hospital. Asking the ever-ready Brandon to prepare everything beforehand. From the hospital to the most prominent team of doctors to standby in the hospital and be ready when they arrived there. Iris at first refused Alex's protective–almost borderline panic insistence for them to check her situation at the hospital. She thought she was only having a bad day or had caught some common cold symptoms. But Alex was having none of it. He was persistent with his decision to bring her to the hospital and heard himself that she was okay. So here there was. The car was too slow for Alex, so he opted to call the pilot for his private helicopter to be ready in the next 15 minutes. They left the rooftop and arrived several minutes later at the hospital helipad. The hospital director was already on standby on the tarmac while the nurse brought the wheelchair to carry her! Iris
Trapped By A Billionaire Chapter 85 - Recovery
IRISSeveral days have passed since the kidnapping and the shooting of Alex. Her husband had already been discharged and recuperated in their penthouse. But, of course, he was still busy, as always. He was on the phone or focusing on his laptop, even when Iris asked him to pause and concentrate on his meal. He distractedly said okay but was still on the call with Brandon, Sheila, Noah Evans, and his other people. To appease her, Alex touched Iris here and there. He was making sure that he remembered Iris. But to be perfectly blunt, it was not her main objective. Her objective was to put her husband on bed rest and spend time in the penthouse–unwinding from the recent accident that cost him walking with crutches like this. "Alex! You need to eat something first!" Iris said when Alex distractedly took a slice of apples but ignored the main course that Iris already prepared, waiting for him to sit down and take the lunch together. "A minute, babe, I am still on call with Brandon," Al

Alex felt that he was getting lighter and might pass out soon. But he still ensured Iris was okay and no harm was done to her. “Are you hurt, baby?” Alex asked his wife, who was still crying, seeing how wrecked his thigh was after getting shot. Iris shook her head and watched how Sebastian expertly administered first aid to his wound. One of Sebastian's men already called the police and ambulance to take them. “My father?” Alex asked Sebastian. “He and Jake are wounded. My men neutralized them. I will check them after taking care of you first,” Sebastian responded seriously. Time went blurry in his perspective. Not long after, the ambulance and police sirens were heard outside, and finally, the first responders came and took over the procedures. When one of the police came intending to question Alex and Iris–Sebastian stepped in and answered all the inquiries. “I will take care of it. Don’t worry. I already asked Brandon to accompany you and Iris to the hospital while I deal wi

ALEXANDER Alexander was busy being the CEO interim before the legal paperwork was done and held back-to-back nonstop meetings until he received a call from Sebastian. He frowned and finally asked the remaining directors who still got the post to take a break, and they dutifully left the meeting room. Leaving Alex with his two assistants and his personal lawyer. “Sebastian?” Alex received the call from the first ring. “What is it?” he asked Sebastian. “Someone breaking in and rob Iris’s store–” Sebastian briefed him quickly, and he cursed his heart out. “What the fuck is that mean? How is Iris now? Is she safe? Where are your men, Sebastian?” He rapidly threw questions at Sebastian. He rose from the seat and nodded at Brandon–gesturing that he would deal with this issue and asked his assistant to deal with the rest in the office. “Where is she now?” Alex barked while waiting for the lift door to open and brought him to his car in the basement. “Where is the robber?” He fe

When Iris heard that man's phone ringing, Iris focused on him. "How is it?" that man asked his caller. "Can you set up the bail on him? How much is it? I will transfer right now!" added him. He then glanced at Iris–borderline fascinated, making her shiver because she was uncomfortable with how he stared at her. "Sure, let me know when Jonathan will arrive here. We can start negotiating with Alex then." After that, he ended the call and turned to her with a slimy smile she hated profoundly. "Now, Mrs Browning, rest and wait until Jonathan comes here. We will talk a lot after this," "Who are you?" Iris asked him again.

IRIS After the last night dining with Alex, Iris got a new perspective and advice from him concerning how she opened the new store. With a calculator in front of her and a laptop to calculate the initial expense and capital she needed for the new business–Iris stared at the Excel sheet blankly. Too many zeros, and Iris could not keep up. She recalculated again, and still, the numbers were not changing. She was pondering the numbers deeply when her phone rang again. She checked the caller, and it was the realtor. “Oh, hi! Sorry for the late response,” Iris greeted the realtor. She replied while she inspected the qu

"What do you mean unlimited?" Iris asked him with a horrified expression. But still, in his mind, her face was extremely cute, so he could not stop smiling at her. "That's exactly what I said. No budget for you. Just spend whatever you wish, baby! I won't stop you, my personal accountant or financial advisors," he replied casually just before the chef served the first course of their omakase fine dining style at this restaurant. Iris was just shaking her head in disbelief. "I am serious, Alex! You can't just answer my question like that! I need you to tell me honestly how much I should spend if I want to make a branch for my small shop," Iris, in reflex, took his sleeve-asking for his undivided attention given solely to her. “Alright, I am listening to you now,” he turned and focused on her. He drew his body closer to her until he smelled her divine scent throughout his nose. Iris was flustered when he charged like that. In front of the chef–no less!“What is it, baby? What do yo
