All Chapters of Bought by the Billionaire Prince: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

When Grayson walked in the door to Henley's hospital room a few minutes later, Ari smiled when she saw him. Then she crossed the room, closing the space between them, and gave him a kiss. "How's Henley feeling?" Grayson asked, feeling bad for having stepped out for a moment, but it was necessary.Ari sighed. "She's not herself yet, but at least the nausea is better.""Good. I'm glad to hear it." Grayson thought that this was probably not the right time, but he knew they would be going back to Estrea soon, so he had no choice. "I need to speak with you about something.""Okay." A crease formed between her eyes as she nodded. "Mom, we'll be right out in the hallway for just a minute."Celeste nodded. "Take your time."Ari walked out and Grayson followed. She walked down the hallway and then turned and folded her arms across her chest. "What's up?""I wanted to speak to you first before we speak to your mother, of course.""Okay."Grayson took her hand, hoping to reassure her. "I was wan

Vickie came a few minutes later and they all took turns teasing Ava about possibly being pregnant. She finally told them all to stop, truly annoyed. The truth was that she didn't want to get her hopes built up before she found out if she was pregnant or not for sure. Later that night, Henley fell asleep, ending all conversation in her hospital room. "So, are you hungry?" Ava asked Grayson in a low voice later that night. He nodded. "Yes. Ari, I was thinking that since Henley is better now, would you mind if we go back to Estrea? I hate to leave, but I have some business to attend to."Ari knew that the "business" he was speaking of was the murders, but she was glad he didn't say it. He probably didn't want to be reminded of it, either. Although she hated to leave her family, it was time. And after the fiasco on New Year's Eve, she didn't want Grayson to leave without her. Although she loved Vickie dearly, she was no longer single, and she couldn't do all the things she used to when

Luckily, Grayson was able to get Ari to the limousine unscathed. "To the castle," Grayson shouted to the driver. But they were surrounded by paparazzi and were unable to move."Sorry, Your Highness," Clark replied, shaking his head. "I'll get us out of here as soon as I can.""I'll take care of this," Hal, another bodyguard, said, getting out of the limo. "Everyone, step away from the limo, unless you want to see the inside of a jail cell!" Suddenly, everyone stepped back. He walked around the limo, ensuring everyone observed a safe distance away from the limousine.Ari rubbed his arm in a calming motion, obviously worried about him. Grayson wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to his side. Then he raised the partition. "Ari, I'm sorry. Why they were allowed onto the tarmac near the plane is beyond me."She shook her head, still rubbing his arm. "Grayson, it's not your fault.Sirens screamed in the distance, growing closer, and the paparazzi began to scatter, just like roaches. A

The next day, Grayson set up a meeting with Declan for later that day, and then he called the news station to set up a time and day for the interview. Of course, the station jumped at the chance to interview the Royal Family and promised to give them an hour spot on the local television station, with the promise to give them more time, if needed. Grayson told them that they were going to put the rumors to rest, once and for all, as well as to address the nation about the civil unrest and the concerns that Marcus Pierce had verbalized. As Grayson hung up the phone, he felt that it was about time that the Crown started taking a more proactive stance. People need and will follow true leadership. If the real leaders neglect their positions, then they will listen to anyone who steps up. And lately, Marcus had been the only one stepping up. But that was going to change.Grayson also sent notices to his father, Xavier, Ari, and Quinn, since he was now a part of the family, too. This intervi

"So, what did you find out?" Ari asked Grayson when she walked out of the green room at the news station, along with the king and Quinn.Grayson was on the other side of the door, standing to the side. "Marcus is here for a rebuttal after our interview." Grayson sighed, clenching his jaw.Ari shook her head. "How did he find out about this?""The station must have called him." He shrugged. "But if I find out that Ella J. Scott or Jacob Andrews called him, I'll never do another interview with them again."Xavier and Quinn were walking with the king, following him down the hallway toward the set."How do you feel about Marcus being given airtime to refute our statements?" Ari asked, clearly concerned. Of all the things she expected to happen, that wasn't one of them.Grayson placed his hand on her back, leading her down the hallway. "He shouldn't be here. If he wanted to refute our statements, then he could have held a press conference."Ari nodded in agreement. In her opinion, it was ta
