A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and three: Homewrecker 3
The entire Davidson’s family and Selena were all gathered at Clifford’s home, awaiting the arrival of the family doctor, Dr. Hansel. Ryan kept pacing, wishing he could go in search of Amelia while his parents dealt with Selena but he couldn’t do that. It was his mess and he had to clean it up. He wanted to know the truth before facing Amelia again. His heart was beating wildly, from fear of Selena’s words being true. He didn’t know what he’d do if she was truly pregnant for him but he wished it was one of her deceitful plans as usual to get him in her webs, and God help her if it was a lie because he’d truly strangle her to death this time around.“What’s taking him so long?” Li na asked, staring at her husband with worry but Clifford reached for her and circled his arms around her waist.“He’s on his way. We’ll know the truth soon. Breath,” he murmured, seeing how strung out she looked. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps followed before a younger man ap
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and four: A home away from home
It’s been two days since Amelia ran away with her daughter and Ryan was yet to find her. He’d contacted the police to give a missing person report and they were currently in search of her but so far, nothing had been found. Ryan was gradually losing his mind. He’d never expected that Selena could go to this extent to ruin his happiness. He wanted to get back at her for hurting him and for breaking his home, but all he wanted was to find Amelia and tell her the truth.He’d ordered everyone to stay away from him, including his family and even Gretchen, his housekeeper. He didn’t need anyone around and he definitely didn’t want them giving him sympathetic looks. It would break him more to see them feel sorry for him. He wanted to handle it all alone but he wouldn’t stop until he’d found her.Ryan sat at the breakfast bar, staring at his phone screen and also staring at Amelia’s phone that was beside his. The moment he’d run out of his parents home two days ago, his first instincts had be
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and five: A Better Opportunity
It’s been almost a week since Amelia’s disappearance and Ryan was gradually losing his mind. His parents and close relatives were greatly baffled. All attempts to find her had been in vain. They’d even threatened Selena, hoping she knew of her whereabouts but after a few days, they realized she didn’t know where Amelia had gone. While everyone was troubled by the sudden disappearance of Amelia and her child, Benjamin, and Adeline were secretly happy that things were going in their favor.Benjamin and Lara especially, had seen Selena’s disruption of the wedding as the perfect plan to have gotten Amelia into their waiting claws but as no one had expected the sudden turn of events, they’d missed that chance and they were greatly annoyed by it. Adeline, on the other hand, saw Amelia’s absence as the perfect time to finally draw the family’s attention to the reality that Ryan had failed them twice.He was expected to be married at thirty in order for him to get the family’s inheritance and
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and six: A new direction
The next evening, all the elders of the Davidson’s family, alongside Adeline, Benjamin and Ryan, were gathered at Clifford’s home for the urgent meeting that Adeline had called for. Some of them wondered what it was about but the ones that she’d previously met, knew what she wanted to discuss. Scowls and expressions of irritation masked their faces as they all sat, waiting for her to speak. Ryan on the other hand, was barely listening to whatever was being said. His mind wasn’t there.Amelia was yet to be found and he had no interest in whatever anyone had to discuss but his parents had made it compulsory for him to attend, informing him that Adeline wanted to see the eldest members of the family, including him and her son.“We’re all here, Adeline. Why don’t you state the reason for this meeting?” Clifford asked as soon as everyone was seated in the large living room.Adeline glanced around and cleared her throat. Before arriving at Clifford’s home, she’d planned with Benjamin on how
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and seven: A new direction 2
Li na Davidson sat by the bedside of her son, with tears running down her eyes. Ryan’s head was wrapped in a bandage with the side soaked with blood. He was unconscious but the doctor told them that he was in a coma.Li na sat beside his unconscious body, holding onto his arm while she wailed silently. Clifford, on the other hand, stood at the far end of the room, watching his son, who was on a life support machine, with a fearful expression etched on his face. From the moment he received the news of Ryan’s fatal accident, the fear of losing his only son had riddled him and he couldn’t shake it off.For the last twenty-four hours since his unconscious body was rushed to the hospital, he was yet to regain consciousness, not even move a part of his body. His body’s temperature was dangerously low but the doctor assured them that he was still holding on to life and will be well soon.Clifford was beginning to regret forcing Ryan to attend the meeting that Adeline had called. When he’d in
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and eight: Reconciliation
Amelia stared at the night sky, full of stars, and drew in a deep breath, before wrapping her arms around herself, as goose bumps broke out of her skin from the light breeze that was blowing. It was getting late but she didn’t want to go to bed yet. Dora was already sleeping soundly in Jian’s bed like she’d been doing since they arrived. Jian seemed to be enthralled by the toddler’s presence and she didn’t mind because it gave her the time to sort out her messy life.After all that Jian told her regarding the incident that had happened at her wedding, she didn’t know where to start from. A part of her blamed herself for running away at the first sight of trouble but the other half was angry at Ryan for giving his ex-wife so much leverage in their lives and for not also informing her of all that had happened in her absence.If only he’d told her, then she could have handled it better but deep down, she knew it doesn’t excuse her flighty habit.Would Ryan still want her after she’d quic
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and nine: A fresh start
It’s been a week since Ryan was discharged from the hospital. He’d returned to his home with Amelia and Jian had stopped by to drop Dora off and to also say hello to Ryan. Some of his family members, even Lara, Benjamin, and Adeline had also stopped by to check on them. After that week of his recovery, he decided to call a family meeting to inform them of his plans. Just like he’d told Amelia at the hospital, he’d meant it and as soon as he was discharged, they’d been secretly making plans.It was the weekend and all of the Davidson family were gathered at Clifford’s home to hear Ryan out. He’d informed them that he had some important message to pass on to them. Benjamin and Adeline were also there, and so were Amelia and his daughter. Everyone wondered what he could possibly want to tell them, even his parents but only Amelia was aware of his plans.As soon as the meeting was ready to kick start, Adeline was the first to signify that she had something to say. Li na glared at her. Le
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and ten: Perfectly recovered
Ryan was still shocked and trying to wrap his head around what the maid, Mia, had revealed to them. By the time they got home, Dora was already fast asleep. Amelia took her to bed while Ryan retired to their bedroom to prepare for bed, but all he did was stand beside the floor-to-ceiling window of his bedroom, overlooking the city below as he replayed Mia’s words over and over again in his head.He was so lost in his head that he didn’t hear Amelia walk into the room until she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her body hat tightly to his back.“Don’t be too hard on yourself,” she whispered, trailing one of her hands to his chest and patting him lightly. “We’re not sure if it’s true. It might just be a misunderstanding,”Ryan let out a deep breath.“What if it's true?”Amelia was quiet, not knowing what to say.“We’re no longer safe in their midst,”“What do you want to do?” her hands fell off him and he turned around, staring intently at her.“I think we need to leave this
