“Allowing Ryan to be engaged to Amelia is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made,” Mrs. Davidson announced with a bright smile on her face as she crossed the room to sit beside her husband on the bed with a mug of tea in her hand.“I agree,” Clifford responded, sharing her joy. Li na leaned in and brushed her lips to his before returning her attention to the tv where the news of Amelia being Liu Feng-Zhang’s biological daughter was airing. “Who knew all of these rumors could end this way? I was prepared to inquire about the truth from Ryan before this news came on.”“It’s a good thing it’s been sorted out and it also means we’ll still have ties with the Zhang’s and that may even extend to our businesses and growing a larger fortune and empire because it seems Amelia is Liu’s first child and hence, an heir to his empire.”“We should celebrate this,” Li na said cheerfully. “I think we’re blessed, honey,”Clifford chuckled, seeing the excitement in his wife’s tone. When they’d initia
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-eight: Pull Out
“I no longer have any business in London, uncle,” James spoke, trying to keep his annoyance from his tone. He had been having a good day before his uncle called him, regarding his insistence to not return home for his late father’s funeral. From the day he left London, he vowed never to return because they proved to him that he had nothing there, not even a family to call his own, and luckily for him, he’d made it here in Texas and was living a good life. He had all the wealth they’d taken from him and he had a good job. He was faring well financially and he was independent of his family’s assistance.“I know how you feel, James but deep down, you know how much my brother loved you. Left to him, you’d have never known the truth, and remember, it was your decision to leave not his. He tried his best to get you to stay.

A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-nine: Seeking forgiveness
It’s been a week since the news of Amelia being Liu Feng-Zhang’s daughter was released yet it was still making major waves in the country and in China as well. Amelia had been home all week because she couldn’t risk going out, knowing she’d be swamped by reporters wishing to get more intel on the issue. She was beginning to get homesick but there was nothing she could do. Ryan had even offered to hire bodyguards for her but she’d refused, not wanting the extra company and he couldn’t let her stay home all alone by herself because he was sure as soon as the reporters hanging around their environment knew he was out, they’d devise a means to come up and speak to her. She was still dealing with the realization that her dad and step-siblings had invaded her life and she wasn’t ready to answer any questions regarding the issue or to even speak about it to anyone except Ryan.“I miss having lunch with Sylvia,” Amelia whined, as she crossed the distance from the bathroom to the bed, climbin

But a wave of disappointment hit her when her gaze traveled through the large room to see Benjamin wasn’t there. A deep frown marred her face as she glanced at the gold wristwatch adorning her wrist. It was exactly noon, the time they’d fixed for the meeting and she expected him to have been there expecting her arrival but he was nowhere to be found. She glanced around again and contemplated leaving but she knew she had to get this meeting over with and would be very busy in the coming weeks with plans for her fashion show. Still frowning, she found an empty booth at a far corner of the room, beside a window overlooking the street outside. It’d give them the privacy they needed. Hence, she moved toward it and settled into one of the seats. A waiter approached her to take her order and she asked for a cocktai
A Contract with the Billionaire Ninety-one: Agreement
That evening, Lara returned home from work, still disturbed by the conversation she’d had with the strange man earlier that day. All day, she’d been busy going from one meeting to another with top fashion designers and some popular models, to help put together the fashion show she was planning but even with how busy she’d been, his words and plans kept revolving in her head. The one that disturbed her more was the revelation of Benjamin’s plan to get her out of the way as soon as he lays his hands on the fortune he was after.The realization that Benjamin wasn’t her Allie but an indirect foe made her feel so insecure that she gradually found herself leaning towards the protection that the stranger was offering but she wasn’t stupid enough to fall into his arms without careful consideration. Hence, as soon as she was in the privacy of her home, she brought out the file and the card he’d given to her. Firstly, she opened the file. She was no business expert but she was sure she could u

After their last meeting failed to hold, she’d contacted him to fix another date but now, she was slacking. As much as he was annoyed by her absence, he was also ready to wait for her because he knew his plans were on the verge of taking off as soon as Lara agreed to the contract marriage he’d proposed.Initially, when she’d told him she wouldn’t be part of his evil plans, Benjamin had been devastated because he didn’t know how to go about it.
