All Chapters of The Billionaire's Last Minute Bride: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ArtemisAfter I all but push my lawyer out of my office Blue and I are alone again. There is an awkward tension in the air now that I’m not sure how to break. This, feeling tension between me and someone else, is very new. I may be older in year to Blue but I am as experienced as she is in relationships. It sounds pathetic given my age but this unfamiliar territory and I’ve been fucking things up a lot so far. “Well, that didn’t go as expected.” Blue says finally.I quirk my head and look her over. “You mean you expected another outcome by ambushing me with this meeting?” She drops her head and starts to fidget with her fingers. Shit. I meant it as a tease, but she looks like a scolded child right now. “Blue, I’m sorry. I was messing around. I’m not upset about the lawyer thing. Although I truly hate that bastard lawyer of yours and am considering a hitman to deal with that issue.”“Artemis!” I laugh at the fear and disbelief in her eyes. When she sees my smile, she shakes her he

BlueThe next two days go by in a flash. Although I figured Artemis’s mom would handle everything, Rhea convinced me to join them for a few to her appointments. I was there in body but not in mind. Especially since Artemis would text me throughout the day. He has become a very persistent communicator and even though I’m not used to it, it’s kind of nice. I haven’t been brave enough to show up at Monica’s yet even with the new agreement Artemis and I have. The whole thing with Liam has left me confused and I’m not great with confrontation so I’m doing the healthy thing and avoiding the situation. Today is Saturday and I’m waiting for Artemis to come home so I can tell him of all the crazy shit I’ve been through today with wedding stuff. Since we signed our new contracts, he has been doing a good job of keeping his end and being home every night. Of course, it’s only been a couple of days, but it’s sweet he’s trying. Her also has Bryant and Dane escort me to his office whenever I hav

BlueMy eyes lock on the ring Artemis is holding and I gasp at the sight of a completely new ring. It’s gold with a blue diamond sitting in the center of what looks like a snowflake. Each point holds a small white diamond, and they all shine in the florescent lights like mini stars. It’s the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. “Artemis. What is this?” He looks at it and then at me. “You said the other ring wasn’t you, so I bought a new one.” I gape at his nonchalant explanation. “What did you do with the old one?” “I donated it to an auction house.” He looks at me like that is a completely normal thing to do. “Wow. Wait did you say we’re getting married right now?” He nods. “You’ve been put into too many dangerous situations since we met, and I need to make sure what happened tonight doesn’t happen again. For now I plan on taking you away for a while until things die down here and we have a more secure location made for us to live in.” I’m overwhelmed and not sure which part

BlueArtemis and I try our best to leave the hospital without getting spotted, but a few people stayed long enough to get a shot of us as we leave. I pulled the sleeves of my sweatshirt over my hands to hide my ring and made sure the mark on my neck couldn’t be seen. Hopefully no one finds out what happened to me tonight other than someone breaking into our house. Although if I have to testify about the assault it’s only a matter of time before everyone will find out. The police had made sure to take photos of me and my injuries after I had changed into the hospital gown. I also agreed to a pelvic exam just in case I black out during anything else. Thank god that was clear. Artemis and I are taking his personal car to the airport now since I was discharged already. He still won’t confess to where he’s taking me, but he keeps calling it a honeymoon which is sort of cute. A honeymoon isn’t something I would think he would like. It sounds…romantic. Even that word sounds weird to me. Tr

BlueOur driver takes us the entrance of a resort hotel where we are greeted by several employees. A couple rush over to grab our bags while the rest greet us with sweet smiles. They are beautiful, and so kind to us as we enter the main building. The hotel is so amazing, but I don’t have a chance to see it all before Artemis takes my hand and starts to lead me through a side door. Everything is a blur of people as we are directed to the beach area where we’ll be able to access our suite. “Everything was prepared according to your directions Mr. Rhodes.” Artemis doesn’t say anything to the woman, but she is too sweet to be bothered by his gruffness. “Thank you so much for this wonderful welcome. This place is beautiful.” I decide to say. “You are a very special guest Mrs. Rhodes. We are happy to make your trip one to remember.” One of the women waiting for us says. “If you follow me, we can show you to your suite.” Artemis stands off to the side looking down at his phone while I g
