All Chapters of The Billionaire's Contract Pet: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Sabrina, Emma, and Alex ran back into the house as though running from a fire. They were in full panic mode as they tried to understand what had happened at Alex’s press conference. Sabrina managed to provide a satisfactory enough answer. And Alex managed to maintain his cool and calm demeanor, but inside they were spiraling. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Alex swore. “How did we not know about this?” “This is bad,” Sabrina agreed. “This is very bad.” “What happens now?” Emma asked. “What does this mean?” “We have to talk to Will. He’ll know what to do,” Alex grabbed Emma by the wrist and pulled her along. “Come on. We’re going now.” “Good idea,” Sabrina said. “I’ll do what I can to do some damage control.” “Wait!” Emma said, pulling away from Alex. She pulled out her phone a

With nothing but time alone with his thoughts, Will pieced together the events of the past year. Ever since allowing Grace back into his life, everything imploded on him. She was a bomb, detonated to go off and destroy him. Knowing what he knew of Denis now, what had she suffered before running from him? Had he changed her into the crazed, desperate creature she became? Or had that change begun much sooner? Grace was a princess, destined to become the queen. They were going to take over the city together. She would rule at his side.  But as he thought about what that life would have been like, he understood why things would have never worked. She was always going to become what she became. There would be no satisfying her. She would always need more, demand more. No amount of love would ever be enough. He would never have been enough for her. She would have never contributed or enriched his life in anyway and eventually they would have ended up exactly as they did. B

Everything was too coincidental. Will gets wrapped up in some crazy bombing mess, and then the land grab goes up in smoke, possibly securing the demise of Stewart Industries. It lined up a little too well. It all bothered Alex. The questions swirled around him, and he feared the answers were close. Too close.“Spencer was right,” Sabrina said, walking into the dining room. The once pristine, and ornate room was now their base of operations. Papers littered about every inch of the grand table. Rolling dry erase boards invaded the walkways and were covered with more papers, photos, and clues. The energy was loud and chaotic. “Right about what?” Alex asked.“About the landowners wanting plans for the land. But now that want a fully formed plan with models, figures, contractors… They want everything.”“Shit,” Emma swore. She had been working nonstop on the design

The interview was a smash. The city was on high alert, and Ghost’s name was on everyone lips. The few times Sabrina went out, it’s all she could hear anyone talk about. She couldn’t help but feel a little proud. Captain Whitlock received dozens of calls and tips. Many people said how they knew Denis, and how there was no way he could be Ghost.Others said that they’re surprised they never saw the signs. Some offered clues and places that Denis used to frequent. He traipsed the city, following these clues. Most led to nothing. Just traces of an old that Ghost himself probably wouldn’t recognize. But there was one call…“Um… hi. Is this Captain Whitlock?” It was hesitant man’s voice.“Yes, how can I help you?”“I’m calling about Denis Ratcliffe.”Captain Whitlock received so many of these calls he was numb to them.

Will turned around and the world moved in slow motion around him. About ten feet away from them, there he stood. Ghost. Denis. The man responsible for all the pitfalls in his life stood ten feet away from them, the sunlight glinting off the barrel of an ornate silver gun. How could he have been so careless?  “Surprise,” Ghost sang.  “How…” Will began to ask. “How did I get so close?” Ghost finished. “Without anyone noticing. Hmm…” he used the gun to scratch his temple for a moment and then pointed it back at them. “I’m the monster in the dark. The one under your bed. The one your parents warn you about. Oh wait… your parents wouldn’t warn you about anything. They’ve been trying to sacrifice you to the darkness for years,” he said with feigned contrition. “What do you want?” Will asked. His eyes darted around, looking for
