All Chapters of The Beautiful Billionaire: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

LINDEN Something was different with Gustav today. He was calmer, and I couldn’t see a hint of anger, arrogance, and disgust in his eyes. He seemed to have learned his lessons or had accepted that he wouldn’t win in tearing Estelle and me apart. When the door chimed, I knew it would be Moses, but what surprised me was the person with him. “Why is Mom with Moses?” Estelle widened her eyes like me. Good question. “Gabe. Honey.” He kissed my wife on the cheek before he shook hands with my father-in-law. “Gustav, how are you doing?” “I’m good. How are you?” “I’m doing good. Thank you.” “Deirdre, good to see you again.” Gustav kissed his ex-wife on the cheek. “You look good, Gustav.” Deirdre smiled. From what Estelle told me, they couldn’t stand one another, but today seemed different. I didn’t see bad blood. “You look beautiful as always.” “Thank you. I eat organics, sleep early, and do yoga.” “Mom.” Estelle hugged her mother. “Honey, I love your shoes.” She looked down at my w

LINDEN Watching the love of my life with a gun pointed at her head, I just died a thousand times and came back and watched that scenario over and over again. I couldn’t get rid of the image of her crying on her knees as she waited for the moment to die. I wanted to kill Klayton Weston, but dying would be merciful for him. I wanted him to suffer the rest of his remaining worthless life. I didn’t know if I deserved to be with Estelle. I put her in so much more danger than I could ever imagine. If she hadn’t met me, she wouldn’t have gone through those nightmares. All this happened because of me. “Where do you think you’re going?” Moses gripped my shoulder. Just right after dinner with a British billionaire, he called me to say Gustav might be in danger. If I could just be five seconds late, I would have found my wife lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. “I need some air.” “Don’t fool me. Stay put, and stop blaming yourself. I can read what’s on your mind right now and ho

LINDEN What the fuck? “Klayton is dead.” I didn’t know what to feel, relieved of rage. I wanted to deny that he was dead. He couldn’t be— it was too merciful for that asshole. “What? How?” My wife held my arm, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. “He can’t. He didn’t deserve to die. He deserved to rot in jail for what he did to Dad, Qamar, and everyone he hurt.” “I’m so sorry, Estelle.” I looked at her. Sometimes, the image of her on her knees with a gun pointed at her still tormented me, and my anger toward Klayton settled in my chest permanently. “Boss.” Lynx walked in my direction. “You’re informed?” “Yeah.” “What’s going on?” Moses might have noticed the tension. “I just received a call from the warden. Someone stabbed Klayton in the cell.” “I can’t say he deserved it, but karma is real.” Qamar shrugged. He was still recovering from his stubbed wound. “One bad guy gone isn’t a problem. Considering what he did to your wife and Mr. Bladwyn, I think that’s good. You deserv

ESTELLEI blinked in disbelief. And Willa had never been tempted to check his brother online or go to Osmium to visit him. Either she trusted him so much, or she couldn’t endure the agony of knowing how dangerous her brother was facing every day.I mean, gathering intelligence was a risky business. I’d seen movies where people get killed and tortured for information.“She does, but only about the firm, and she doesn’t have to. I’m just protecting her from the risk of knowing the nature of my work.”“Now, I’m more curious.” Willa frowned further.“That’s all you have to know.”“No. I want to know everything.”“Honey, Willa.” Moses drew a deep breath. “The Hover Company has subsidiaries. Hover Defense and Hover Space and Security. They are the largest private gathering information agency. They gather intelligence and information around the globe. We detect threats, support decisions, and share with our government contract agencies. And these guys and among others who work at Osmium are

ESTELLE Dad and I flew back home as soon as he was cleared to travel. I missed my husband, too. Aside from the overdue board meeting, I had a job that could not wait. “What the— !” Linden’s eyes widened in surprise, lifting me up, but he was also careful not to put pressure on my growing belly. “Baby.” “You didn’t miss me that much, huh?” I wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed the side of his head. “You have no idea.” He put me down and hugged me. “You smell amazing.” “I’m sorry, husband, but I have to get ready. I’ve moved the board meeting once and can’t be late.” “Wait. Is it today?” He looked at me before he kissed me on the lips. “Yeah. See you later over dinner.” “Yeah. And I have something for you. It’s in your closet.” “Oh. What is it?” I beamed at him. “My long-delayed birthday gift.” I chuckled. “You don’t have to give me a gift.” “I feel terrible already, but I will make it up to you next year.” “It’s okay, Gabriel.” I hugged him. “But I’m gonna be too l
