All Chapters of The Billionaire's Bride: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Zoe placed a bottle of wine on the already set dining table. After their trip to Lian, Avery had gotten a peaceful reawakening and invited Aaron to the house so that they would stick together and talk about how to help the police with their investigations. She had on a pretty white gown and allowed her hair to flow over her shoulders. Her feet were bare, because she wanted to give a homey atmosphere.She heard footsteps behind her to see Avery walk in, dressed in a white short and a red polo, also giving off the homey atmosphere.“I saw his car pull up into the garage, so he will be here in no time.” Avery said, looking over at the dining table.Zoe smiled at him, turning to investigate the table with him again. There were grapes and other fruits coupled with different types of evening dishes. Avery had told her pasta was one of Aaron’s favorites so she had asked the maids to make a very good pasta which exceeded her expectations when she tasted it.“We are ready.” She said rubbing hi

Avery watched the shock in her face not knowing what to do to remedy it. This was the day he had dreaded the most with his life and it was finally here. The day he had to tell her that his brother was sole responsible for the death of her husband and he had been there to watch it all unfold. He had been the one to knock her out her senses because he knew Aaron wouldn’t have thought twice before killing her.Yes, he had been there that awful night, watching his brother give the order and someone else taking a man’s life right in front of his wife.Zoe stood from the bed and limped towards him, hitting him hardly on the shoulders. “You were there?” She screamed at him, hitting and hitting and hitting and he allowed her to. “How dare you?”“Zoe!”“You kiss me and hug me and make love to me, all the while witnessing all these?” She asked and he nodded his head.“Yes, I did all that, Zoe. I was also the one who secretly through another organization, dupe your mother, making her lose some m

“What do you mean Aaron killed Zoe’s ex-husband?” Jacob screamed in Avery’s office after hearing it for the first time. Avery turned to look at him from the window close to his desk to see the shocked look on his face. He used to tell Jacob everything but this was the first time he was mentioning the death of Zoe’s husband and Aaron’s involvement in it. He had also done everything on his own without involving Jacob and now he was beginning to see how stupid it was not to tell him. Jacob would have at least pushed him to do things better and he wouldn’t have ended up this way.“Yes, Jacob.” Avery said to him, taking his seat again. “Aaron killed Zoe’s husband because he was interfering in his business. Zoe happened to be there when he was shot.”“And then what happened?”“I knocked her out before she could reveal herself to Aaron and then took her to the hospital. Since that day, I have always kept an eye on her. I watched her go through her mourning phase, making sure she was alright

Avery couldn’t fathom the surprise and joy he felt when he saw Zoe. She still looked the same, not that he was expecting her to look any different after just five days of being absent from his life. Her perfume enveloped him immediately and he moved closer, to have a more thorough look of her.She wore a red lipstick that brought out the full shape of her lips and a ridiculously short gown that revealed delicious legs that he wanted to run his hands over. He thought about whistling but caught himself immediately.This wasn’t a time to whistle. He knew Zoe wouldn’t leave her mother’s house, the place where she was safe from Aaron and the psychopath who wants them dead to come back to him without ulterior motives.“Did you come here to seduce me?” He asked, removing his suit and allowing her see that he was indeed staring seductively at her. He wanted her to remember what they used to share and to see that it was not gone.“What do you think?” Zoe replied, walking with him to the smalle

Avery could see the shocked look on Aaron’s face as he told him the truth. He wasn’t surprised because he too had found it so hard to believe that his mother would kill his father and still act normally as if nothing had happened. After the dream where Simon revealed the truth to him, he had woken up to realize that his brain had been unlocked like someone flipped a switch and he was suddenly able to remember everything. He remembered going into the house to see his parents arguing and how the trigger of the gun had gone off. Yes, it had been an accident but his mother had played along, using his forgetive memory to her advantage. Thinking of her now brought so much pain in him that was unable to go away.Avery sighed and took his seat again. His fist was still throbbing from the punch he gave to Aaron but his heart felt relieved that he had done it. His brother was reckless and he wasn’t sure he would forgive Aron for triggering the perpetrators into killing Mia. Maybe Mia would have
