All Chapters of The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

 At the awards ceremony, Daxton, as a guest performer, sang a song from his new album to rousing cheers. The host announced the nominees for Best Newcomer, including Sophia, Cheryl, and two other new actors. The winner was Cheryl! Sophia was stunned. How could it be Cheryl? Her father had made it clear that he had taken care of the jury for her. Could it be that they had not been bought for this award? Ethan turned to her and asked, "What's wrong?" Sophia shook her head, "Nothing, just a little disappointed." Ethan patted her hand, comforting, "It's okay, there are other awards." Sophia nodded, thinking the Best Newcomer might not be prestigious enough. Her award must be coming later. After another performance, the Most Popular Male Actor award was announced, and unsurprisingly, Zane won. Zane stood up, s

Aurora woke up and it was already the next morning. She blinked open her groggy eyes and sat up, still wearing yesterday's jeans, but her top had been swapped for an oversized T-shirt.Glancing around at the familiar surroundings, she let out a sigh of relief. Yesterday hadn't been a dream; Heath really had come to her rescue.Just as she sat up, the bedroom door swung open and in walked Heath, sporting the same style of T-shirt as hers, his arm carrying a pale pink garment that was unexpectedly cute by contrast."Is this yours?" Aurora pointed at the T-shirt she was wearing."Yep," Heath nodded. "Your clothes were ruined, and since we didn’t have any pajamas for you, I just grabbed something for you to change into."Aurora's cheeks flushed. So, it was Heath who had changed her clothes?Heath sat down beside her bed, looking at her seriously. "I only gave you a quick check for injuries yesterday. Go to the bathroom and take off your pants to check if there are other injuries, and don’

Back in her sanctuary, Aurora was a flurry of emotions and hot showers. She glared at her own flushed face in the mirror and gave herself a pep talk – a literal slap of reality – muttering, "Get it together, Aurora. You're acting crazy!"The shock was real – she kissed Heath! Was she sleepwalking or what?She'd never let Heath get away with a kiss before without putting up a fight. What was different now? It dawned on her – he had guilt-tripped her! Her overflowing sympathy had left her defenses down. Yeah, that had to be the reason.In the midst of documents and serious business, Heath was in his room trying to focus but failing miserably. That kiss had left a sweet aftertaste that he couldn't shake off. Aurora was his weakness, and thinking about her just made him lose track of time and sense.He remembered the way she looked earlier, innocently standing on her tiptoes, her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide, fluttering like the wings of a butterfly. It was a snapshot he couldn't eras

Aurora watched as Carly walked to the door, followed closely by Jasper as they left the hall, presumably to scout the surroundings.Just as she turned around, Heath had come down and walked briskly to her side upon seeing her. Aurora felt a bit nervous, clutching her purse, hoping Heath wouldn't notice."How are you? Tired?" Heath asked.Aurora shook her head: "I'm okay."As music played timely, couples entered the dance floor to dance. Heath extended his hand with a slight smile, "May I have the honor of this dance, Miss?"Aurora smiled, picked up her skirt slightly, and curtsied, placing her hand in Heath's palm: "It would be my honor."He led her to the dance floor, moving to the soft music. Her unexpectedly professional dancing surprised him, "Have you learned dancing before?""Uh... my grandfather had someone teach me," Aurora made up an excuse to get by. The etiquette of these social events was a course she had to learn in the Abyss, or else she would be punished.Heath, dancing

Crouched low, Carly sprinted towards the gunfire, while Aurora circled the house to find a large tree. She bent down, hitched up her skirt, and climbed up, adjusting her sniper rifle to find the right position among the branches.Loading, aiming, calculating wind speed, she fine-tuned her scope. The moment her eye met the scope, the green crosshairs filling her vision, she felt like a warrior returning to the battlefield, sword in hand.By now, most of the guests had left. Through her night-vision scope, the red halos that appeared were those engaged in the firefight.Aurora's gaze followed Carly, who, to avoid stray bullets, had to advance quickly, bent at the waist. Circling the bushes around the house, Carly took advantage of the distraction provided by the gunfire and slipped into the underbrush.A hand slowly emerged from the bushes, waving in the night. Aurora knew Carly had joined up with Jasper.But the gunfire around them was intensifying. Carly and Jasper could barely sneak
