All Chapters of The Billionaire's Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Avery drove into his home with Aaron riding shotgun to see police vans and ambulances parked in his driveway. His heart filled with panic as he walked past each van, ignoring the looks the officers threw his way. He wasn’t interested in any of them at the moment, all he wanted to do was see his wife and sister perfectly fine.The police wheeled out two bodies from the entrance of the house and he took off the white sheets on both to find two of his security agents in them. The maids were all looking distraught as he continued into the house, but he paid them no attention. There were a lot of police men inside the house, some dressed in uniforms and some dressed in casual wears. Zoe sat on the stairs, dressed in a white robe, her hair tangled and scattered. Detective Gonzalez was speaking to her but she wasn’t replying, instead her eyes were faced forward, staring into space.Avery felt a certain type of relief when he saw her. He made to walk towards her and to hold her in his arms wh

“What do you mean that you want me to leave?” Margery asked Zoe who wasn’t even making eye contact with her. Zoe on the other hand kept on looking at Avery, pleading with her eyes that he listens to her and send her mother away.“I do not want her here, Avery.” She said to him. Avery looked from her to her mother, surprise on his facial features.“Something terrible just happened to you, Zoe.” He started. “She must have been scared to her wits. Just give her some time to at least look at you before you send her away.”She shook her head again but he ignored her and took Aaron out of the room to give them privacy. Zoe finally focused on her mother since there was nowhere else to look. She knew it was quite insensitive of her to play the blame game at the moment but that was all she could do in order to unleash the anger in her heart.Margery got up from the bed as soon as Avery and his brother left and began to pace the large room. She looked around, taking in the décor and interior of

“What man with a tattoo, Zoe?” Avery asked but she shook her head, trying to clear her memory of the horrible dream that she just had. She dreamt about Francis again and this time around, the man who had killed him was trying to reveal his face to her but somebody else had prevented her from seeing him. Somebody had prevented her from being killed that night and had knocked her out of her consciousness. It was that person that stood between herself and the man who brutally ordered the killing of her ex-husband. And now, everything was becoming clearer. The pieces were beginning to be put in place and it all happened because she had recognized the man from the picture. He had triggered her memory and now all she experienced that night was beginning to reveal itself. “Zoe?” Avery called again, studying her, making sure she was alright. She turned to look at him, no longer sure that she trusted him or herself any longer. If someone from her husband’s past was killing them off, then eith

The sound of the ambulance coming from the distance relieved Zoe, making her calm a little more than she was before. She touched her bleeding head and felt the light blood on the tip of her hands. Someone screamed her name from inside the company and she saw her mother running out towards her. She turned fully, accepting the hug her mother threw her way and allowed her to dote on her like every daughter mother do.“Oh my God, what the hell happened?” Margery asked. Zoe felt her mother’s hands shaking and took them in hers. She might have forgotten that aside been a very important person to Avery at the moment, she was equally as important to her mother.“I am fine, mum.” Zoe said calmly to her, wincing when Margery touched the cut on her head. “I am fine.”Margery stared at the scene in horror, shaking her head in the process and Zoe joined her in accessing the exploded car. The roof of the vehicle was blown off and flames engulfed the inside. Whoever might have planted the bomb did a

Avery believed what Jacob was saying to him although it made him mad. He has always suspected that Aaron could be friends or acquaintances with the people who had killed his mother and sister and almost killed Zoe, but he still wanted to be wrong. He watched Zoe’s face as she also looked at the picture, realizing that she wasn’t shocked or surprised. It was almost as if she knew who was in the picture.“Does it ring a bell, Zoe?” He asked, watching her and she looked up to meet his gaze, shaking her head afterwards.“No bell.” She replied. “But why was Aaron talking to someone like this? If this man was at the scene and he was having a heated argument with him, then maybe Aaron knows something that he is not telling us.”“Aaron has a lot of things that he is not telling us. He doesn’t care for me as much as he did when my mother and Mia were still alive.” Avery replied bitterly.“We need to talk to him, Avery.” Zoe said, wide eyed, hoping that he would say yes and he nodded his head.
