Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNCONVENTIONAL BRIDES: Bab 91 - Bab 100

ARIA'S POVI had avoided Jace for a few days but I was annoyed that he had not even tried to reach out to me when he knew I was intentionally staying away from him. I had been thinking about how long it had been since we had been intimate and my heart clenched… he hadn't even kissed me for days. No kisses, no touches, nothing. Then there was Caila who was going behind our back to talk about our situation and the way she had tried to lie about it like I didn't know just to make it more infuriating.I was about to go for a lunch break when Rita rushed into my office. “Is everything alright?” I asked with raised brows. “I should be asking you that,” she said, looking for the remote and turning on the TV. “... Jace of Sharpe Tech might have to stand in court soon,” the reporter said and moved to another news. “Wait, what?!” I asked Rita as I got up. Why was Jace going to be standing in court? Rita motioned for me to sit down. “Do you remember the Darius issue Jace was involved in som

ARIA'S POVI was sure I wasn't the only one that had heard it because even my father had this look of bewilderment on his face. Me? Replace my father as CEO. My father was so shocked that he just sat there staring at Jace without making a single statement. “How would I become CEO? I can not be CEO,” I said to Jace. I didn't know what to think about it. Did he even have the powers to do that? “Look at it Aria, sitting down and doing nothing wouldn't save Soliel Vineyards,” He stated. “I know but me being CEO? Isn't that too much?” I asked him and that seemed to unlock my father who had been quiet. “Don't act like you didn't plan this all along!” he growled. “Excuse me,” I said, turning my attention to him. He was staring at me with a mix of annoyance and disgust. Just staring at him was making me think of very bad words to use on him but I held myself back because he was supposed to be my father.“You have always been gunning for my position the entire time and this just seems l

JACE'S POVAs soon as Aria emerged from the dressing room in that stunning red gown, I knew I was going to be too distracted to concentrate on the actual reason we were there. The dress had hugged her curves in all the right places, showing off her beauty in a way that made my heart skip several beats. I had stared at her for a few seconds and that was how long it took my resolve to weaken completely. That was why I told her to remove it immediately. Because that was the only way I could protect myself from the distraction she posed. The black dress she chose instead was elegant and understated, but when I led her into the grand ballroom, I was struck by her beauty all over again and I realized that Aria was a distraction, no matter what she wore. I loved the way my hand had fit perfectly into the small of her back. She had been too engrossed looking around the ball room like a child in a candy shop, and had trusted me to lead her even when she wasn't looking, and that single act h

JACE'S POVWhile Victor was giving a narration about how I had almost succeeded in ruining the relationship between Aria and Caila, the number of press men had increased and he was smiling down at them. I could see it in his eyes. He was glad to be showcased as someone who stood for justice when he was anything but that.“The society is really glad to have a man like you,” One of men that had shaken his hands from before came back again. “I'm humbled by that,” he said to the camera. “I'm just blessed and I do what I can. You see the act of charity, the act of love, the act of service....”One of the reporter's phones dinged, then everywhere around the ball room there were different sounds of incoming messages and then there were collective gasps again. I knew that Kai had begun again. This time we planned to dig a grave that it was going to be impossible for him to come out of. Kai had sent what he was about to show on the projector screen.“What's going on?” Victor asked angrily, se

CAILA'S POVI was happy when Victor was caught and sent to prison. It meant that my budding career was going to begin to progress more rapidly now that I had no one trying to bring me down. But then he had told me about how my father had decided to give me out to Victor Hayes. Victor Hayes! Someone that was known for human trafficking and other forms of violent crimes? It wasn't loud that Victor had been into all those things before but before agreeing to give me off like that, the least he would have done was to make sure he wasn't giving me to the wrong person. I was so pissed I didn't know how to react. Aria was quiet but I knew she was just as pissed off as I was. We wanted to go to his house immediately but Jace said we should go the next day when we were calmer, but I knew nothing was going to change even when we got calmer. Just then, my phone rang. The worry disappeared from my head for a second and my heart did a little flip when I saw that it was Liam. He had not called a
