All Chapters of Love At Last: Billionaire's Contracted Bride: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

(Antonio's POV)Fear gripped my soul as I left Stephen's office after the accountant came in, and from the look on her face, it was obvious that all was not well.Being too curious, I waited a little as I shut the door behind me and hid beside the transparent glass to hear their conversation since the accountant had a loud voice. It felt as though my flesh was detached from my body when the accountant announced the missing find to him.Gosh! No, it could not be. My actions of siphoning a huge amount of money had backfired, and panic surged through my veins.To avoid causing a stare, I walked away from the door slightly and pretended to be on a call. Just then, Sarah, the accountant, ambled out of Stephen's office.Feigning concern, I approached the accountant as she walked back to her office, trying to maintain a facade of innocence. "I am sorry, but I overheard your discussion with Stephen. How could this happen?" I asked, trying to sound as shocked as she was.The accountant looked

(Anna's POV)I strolled toward the beach very close to the hotel, carrying my mat and sunscreen in my hands. As I walked, I enjoyed the view of the early morning sun as it began to risePicking up my sunscreen and applying it on my skin, I lay supine on the mat immediately after I found the perfect spot on the soft sand.The gentle morning breeze brushed against my face, creating a calm and serene ambiance, and the sound of waves crashing nearby provided a soothing soundtrack to the peaceful scene. I closed my eyes and let the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the breeze embrace me. As I lay there, I could feel the sand molding itself to the curves of my body, providing comfortable support. The scent of the ocean mixed with the sunscreen created a unique and refreshing aroma. Seagulls soared gracefully in the sky above, adding to the beauty of the early morning.As the sun climbed higher, the colors of the sky began to shift, transforming from soft pastel hues to vibrant shades

(Stephen's POV)Slowly, I opened my eyes to the soft touch of Kendall's hand as she tapped my shoulder. I smiled when I remembered I had fallen asleep beside her as I watched her earlier."How are you feeling, Ken?" I asked, extending my hands to her chin."I feel better. At least the pain is over.""Then, you must be hungry," I whispered as I darted my eyes at the large clock placed on the wall of the hospital room."Yes, I think I am," she paused. "You have to eat something as well.""Okay, I will be back. Let me check out what they have in the hospital's cafeteria," I uttered and got up from the stool and squeezed her hands with love before exiting the room.As I made my way to the cafeteria after receiving directions from a nurse who I stumbled upon immediately after I left the room, the smell of the antiseptic used in cleaning wafted into my nostril.Yuck! I hated hospitals."Good afternoon Sir. What can I get for you?" the attendant behind the counter, who was wearing an apron o

(Stephen's POV)"Okay, thanks a lot. Please call me if you have any more information." I uttered as I shook hands with Jeff before exiting the station.Hopping into the car and settling behind the wheels, I drove down to the hospital as It was 7:30p.m already and I knew Kendall would be worried already.I could not stop myself from replaying the scene in the interrogation room. If Jessica was saying the truth, which I don't think she was. Who could the kidnappers be? Business rivals?And why was Antonio nowhere to be found and his phone was not going through? Did they kidnap him alongside jy triplet? Damn! Please, keep them safe, Lord!While driving, I picked up my phone and glanced at it frequently, hoping for a text or a call of ransom from whoever had the girls and maybe Antonio, but none came in.About to drop the phone, a call came in and I hurriedly picked it up without checking the caller ID. "Sir, we need you in the company as soon as possible.""Ohh, it is you. Please handle

(Stephen's POV)As I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles turned white with rage and confusion and I drove to my favorite serene spot.My mind was a whirlwind of emotions and I hoped to find some solace when I got there. The image of my wife's tearful face haunted me, as her words echoed in my head—her ex-husband, alive and not dead as she had claimed earlier.Anger coursed through me, mingling with betrayal and hurt. How could she lie to me for so long? My thoughts swirled like a storm, yet my destination remained clear in my mind—a peaceful lakeside beside the old park that had always brought me tranquility, which I often visited whenever I was bullied in my younger days. With responsibility taking most of my time and Kendall having been a source of joy for me, I had not visited in a while.As I parked the car, I stared blankly at the tranquil waves. Though the water flowed to the rhythm of my heart, it did nothing to quench the fire of rage blazing inside of me.Fixing
