All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Marriage of Convenience : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

DYLANI woke up on yet another day without her. Fridays were always my favorites, but this Friday and the previous one were hell for me. This particular Friday marked eight days without Alena.As I showered, I remembered our last moments together. I remembered telling her I'd be able to live without her for an entire lifetime. That was one of the biggest lies I had ever told.I missed her, and it was driving me insane. I wondered what she was going through. I wondered if she was eating any food and if she had someone to take care of her.I had to find her. The previous day, I visited the detective in charge, and there wasn't really any helpful information. Liam really covered his tracks pretty well.One thing was for sure: He was going to suffer for all the pain he put us all through. He was going to pay for touching Alena, my wife.Sophie was finally up and fit to talk. She first had to go through guidance and counseling sessions and a lot of stuff for her mental and physical health.

DYLANLate in the afternoon that same Friday, I sat on the couch in the main lounge, my head hanging low. I was helpless.I tried all my connections and everything, but there was still no lead or even a clue. Liam hadn't been seen ever since, and he didn't have any family to ask about his whereabouts.One thing that added to my worry was his background. He had a criminal record of transporting illegal drugs and domestic violence in his past relationships. He had also been charged with rape in two different encounters.I tried asking around the people who knew him, but it seemed he trusted no one to the extent of sharing such issues. Some of his friends suggested that if ever he had any plans of bringing her back, he'd have already done so.If it was money he wanted, then he was supposed to have already made contact, but there was nothing at all. Not even a threat or anything.Searches were carried out around the entire neighborhood for possible hideouts. They were all fruitless.The l

ALENA"Wake up, Princess," a deep voice awakened me from my not-so-peaceful sleep. I felt ice on my knee, and I shot up despite the pain my entire body was in.My head felt heavy. The migraine was killing me. I couldn't even imagine how I had survived the past couple of days."That's cold. What are you doing?" I asked the man I recognized to be Sean, Liam's man, who was in charge of me.He ignored me and ripped my jeans on the knees. My knee was swollen and throbbing in pain. When his fingers made contact with my knee, I winced in pain."If you make it out alive, this knee is going to give you problems for quite some time. You might need some crutches or a wheelchair," he said, rubbing in the ice. I screamed in pain, and immediately, he jumped on top of me and covered my mouth, muffling my scream."Are you crazy, Princess? I'm trying to help you here," he grunted through gritted teeth."Sean, is everything okay in there?" I heard a voice ask from outside. Sean covered my mouth much mo

ALENA"I thought you said Dylan was in a coma. How can he come if he's in a coma?" I asked Crystal, who was busy taking off her heels and slipping into sneakers."I don't have time to answer such questions right now. What's important right now is that you are out, and Liam and his men are probably after us right now, ready to turn this forest into a battlefield," Crystal fussed, panic evident in her voice."Will you calm down? You chose this, Crystal. You knew the consequences," Sean hushed. He was focusing on driving. He seemed to know where he was driving and was used to the bumpy road."Do you think he's following us, or he'll just let it go? I mean, he'll get caught if he follows us," Crystal continued chattering. She was much more scared than I was."This is Liam Hopper we are talking about. He's coming, and he's probably already ahead of us. You should have at least had a plan in mind before doing all this.""We have the jackpot here. We have a billionaire's wife, and he's comin

DYLANA week later, things were gradually falling back into place. It'd never be the same again, but at least we were together. This entire kidnapping thing really pulled the Westons and the Camerons together. Closer than ever.I had just released a press statement together with Dad, Lynette, Steve, and Celeste. It was basically about Alena's health, Liam's trial, and how we were handling the situation. A couple of questions were asked, and we answered quite well. We had the situation under control.Alena was yet to be discharged from the hospital the following morning. She was doing way better than the first few days she was in the intensive care unit.Her treatment was progressing well, and it was the best. She had to sit in a wheelchair until her knee was in good condition. They had carried out a minor surgery on it and multiple tests on her whole body.Her physical state was better than her emotional state. She was traumatized. The experience was horrible for her, and it taunted h
