All Chapters of The Billionaire's Drunken Bride : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Chapter 112James and Lily had gotten little sleep the night before. They had spent the night at the hospital, speaking with everyone who seemed to have an interest in their daughter, laboriously working out their plan to save Ave. By morning, they were exhausted but resolute."Okay, let's go over what we know," said James, taking a sip of his coffee in the hospital cafeteria.She set the bag on her lap and nodded. "Elena has Ave. She wants your company and for you to divorce me. We have…" she checked her watch, "about 18 hours left before her deadline.""Yeah," James nodded. "And she still has Jack and Sarah too. We haven't heard anything from Louis either."At that mention of the missing friends, Lily's face fell. "God, I hope they're okay."Over the table, James reached and grasped her hand in his. "We'll get them all back. I promise."Then his secure phone buzzed. It was Mike."James, we might have something," Mike said when James answered. "We traced that call from Elena. It boun

Chapter 114Dawn spread across the city, scattering its light as slowly it began to stir alive, the industrial park filled with long shadows stretching out from everything, as a figure slid noiselessly along the warehouse corridors. Rachel had watched everything from those same shadows— sister to the recently discovered Lily, she was torn by loyalties and a mind in conflict.She stopped at the door of James's treatment room, from where he now sat jiggling screws off the air vent. Her heart thumping, Rachel hovered her hand over the door handle, contemplating the dilemma: if she helped him, she betrayed Elena, and if she didn't, she stuck by the years-long plan.Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Chloe Adams began to stir from her medically induced coma, brought out of it by her doctor. The last thing Chloe remembered was the searing pain of a bullet tearing through her shoulder and the chaos of her botched attempt at taking down James and Lily.A nurse rushed to Chloe's side as her

Chapter 116The house was a nondescript, small, two-story quiet suburb. More than that, it was a singularly soothing vista for James to come upon. He yawned as he turned off onto the drive and felt suddenly weighted about the shoulders with a bone-deep tiredness that called him to rest.Lily sat next to him, Ave sleeping in her arms. "We're here," James said softly, shaking Lily's shoulder.Lily blinked out of her reverie. "Is it safe?""Yeah," James bobbed his head in a nod, "Mike's best people are watching the place. Come on, let's get inside."They entered the house; James carried their few, hastily packed belongings, Ave cuddled up in Lily's arms. It was sparely furnished but clean and comfortable.James did all the rounds of the room, moving within each as if habituated by them, checking the windows and locks. And finally, in the living room, he saw Lily sitting on the couch, Ave still curled up in her lap."I put her to bed," Lily whispered. "She's exhausted, poor thing."James

Chapter 118 James woke with a jolt in the dead of night. He was disoriented for half a second before it all came crashing back down on top of him—the cabin, being on the run, the secrets. He looked to his side where he had been able to get Lily and Ave to finally fall asleep beside him. For the moment, they were safe.Quietly, he left to rise not to wake them. James's body was trembling with the cold as he went across the cabin to the fireplace and kindled a small fire. He set some water on to boil; they would need coffee—hardly any coffee left.So, James thought about everything that had happened. The water was getting warmer and warmer, but all of it still felt so unreal, like a really bad dream. Then again, all was real; his company, his family, his whole life was at stake—all for what? An invention; an invention that will redefine the world.James sighed. He had always wanted to make a difference—just not like this, with people threatening to harm his family.Water boiled. In a c

Chapter 120James was beat. He'd been up all night, running from bad guys and learning crazy stuff about his family. Now the sun was coming up, and he still had to get to that bank.He found a little diner that was just opening. The smell of coffee and bacon made his stomach growl. James realized he couldn't remember the last time he ate."Coffee, please," he told the sleepy-looking waitress. "And whatever's hot and ready for breakfast."While he waited, James thought about Lily and Ave. Were they okay? Had Lily gotten his message? He hated being apart from them, not knowing if they were safe.The waitress brought him a steaming mug and a plate piled with eggs, bacon, and toast. James dug in, suddenly starving. As he ate, he tried to make a plan. He had to get to that safety deposit box. But what if someone was watching the bank? What if it was a trap?James shook his head. He couldn't think like that. He had to trust his grandma. She wouldn't have led him into danger.Still, he'd be
