All Chapters of Bought by the Billionaire Prince: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

A few days later, Grayson was dressed and ready to leave the hospital. He just wished that Xavier was coming home with him, too. But even though he was awake, he had to stay in the hospital a bit longer to ensure there was no further injury."Are you okay?" Ari asked, folding what little clothes she had brought for him to the hospital. "You're okay to come home?""Don't start." He sighed, glancing over at her.He heard her sharp intake of breath."Look. I'm sorry. It's just that my brother is still in Intensive Care and the men who put him there are still free. I have to find out who did this and bring them to justice." Grayson sighed. Truth be told, he'd rather see them dead. But he didn't want to tell Ari that. "And the only way to do that is to get out of the hospital and find them."Ari nodded, but then she stepped up close to him. "But hear this. You will never speak to me that way again." She sighed, shaking her head. She rubbed his arm, but he pulled away, so she folded her arms

In order to try and keep her mind off the baby, Grayson, and everything else, Ari decided to go over her plans for Henley's House. Grayson had set her up an office next to his, and she planned to start using it. Ari knew what she wanted Henley's House to be, but she wanted to know what Henley thought, too.She knocked on the door of Henley's room, but Hildegard, one of Henley's nurses, opened the door."Is Henley all right?" she asked, peeking in, looking around.Hildegard took a step back, opening the door wide. "I'm afraid Miss Henley's not feeling well today."Ari nodded as she walked in. Her mother was sitting in a chair to the side of her bed."How is she?" Ari asked softly.Celeste closed the magazine she was reading and smiled. "She's not feeling very well today. The treatments cause a lot of nausea.""Stop talking about me as if I'm not here," Henley said, opening her eyes."Darling, you were asleep." Celeste placed her hand on her forehead. "How are you feeling?""A little bi

Ari woke the next morning to bright sunshine streaming in through the window. But it wasn't the extreme bright that comes with snow. No, she had a feeling that it was the first unofficial day of spring, and she wanted to take advantage of it. She rolled over and her arm landed on Grayson. He opened one eye. "Morning." She laid her head down on his chest, not wanting to leave and begin the day. "I wish we could stay here all day long."Grayson chuckled. "It would be nice." He rubbed her back, still half asleep.She raised up and looked into his eyes. "Well, we could.""Don't tempt me." He traced lazy circles on her bare back with his eyes still closed. "So, what do you have planned for today?"She sighed, not wanting to think of leaving Grayson... even for a few hours. "I have an appointment at the hospital today about Henley's House and I can't miss it. I was thinking of asking my mom and Vickie to come along, too." Ari chuckled. "Mom's been driving Henley crazy.""Yeah, I overheard.

Grayson headed toward the on-site apartments on the grounds behind the castle. He was going to check Piers' and Ralph's rooms again to see if they had overlooked anything. There had to be something more... some tangible evidence that linked the murders. As he headed inside, maids curtsied and the male staff bowed, moving aside when they saw him.Why would Piers kill one of his men?Inside, he walked to the right, headed for Ralph's room first. Luckily, his room was still vacant, and his things hadn't been cleared out yet, probably because it had been a crime scene. When Grayson walked in, Ralph's blood still stained the carpet in the middle of the living room floor, just like in Dima's apartment. Grayson made a mental note to have the carpet replaced. Then he started pulling out drawers, looking through Ralph's things for something, anything that would explain why Piers had killed him.He flung open the drawer of the dresser beside his bed and there were several pieces of paper in the

Ari looked around the warehouse and all eyes were on her. Marcus gritted his teeth as he walked purposefully toward her and slapped her across the face. "How dare you say that about me?" He raised his hand again, but Piers caught it.Piers shook his head. "You gave your word that she will not be harmed for twenty-four hours."Marcus glared at him for a moment, and then ripped his hand out of his grasp. Then he turned his attention to Ari. "Kill me, will you?"Ari raised her head and glared at him, staring daggers into his eyes looking through her hair covering one eye. "Mark my words. You will never get away with this. You should have taken the deal that King Maxwell offered you. It's as good as you're going to get." She shrugged. "It's more than I would have given you.""Why you—" Marcus made a move toward her again, but Piers stood in his way and shook his head in warning."Not while I'm here," Piers replied. Quicker than Ari would have thought possible, Marcus whipped out a gun an
