Betrothed To The Billionaire Player Chapter 76
Jade(Present time)Julian never kissed me again of course, accidentally or otherwise.In a way, it seemed like history was only repeating itself.This was a similar situation. I had almost pleaded to go with him, he had refused, and now I was going without his permission anyway.So it was likely the night might either end up with him kissing me, or me finding myself in some sort of embarrassing situation.I was betting on the latter. But it still wasn’t enough to sway me into changing my mind.This was happening. I was going after Julian to find out whatever it was he was hiding come what may. And so it was all that occupied my mind for the rest of the month, up until the day of the ball.The relationship between me and Julian had neither improved or declined. He still came back home every night, but he barely looked my way, much less spoke to me.He had also taken to eating breakfast and dinner once in a while, much to Hazel’s delight, since she was always eager to serve him, even m

JadeThe shirtless guy looked down in confusion, brows raising before he hollered, “Whose little sister snuck out with them?”Cringing in embarrassment, I ducked my face and hoped the music was loud enough that he wasn’t heard by too many people.I looked up after the moment had passed and the guy had moved on, letting out a breath of relief when I saw no one was paying any extra attention to me.Just as I looked around again, my eyes abruptly clashed with surprised gray ones from across the landscaped garden.Julian was standing next to a cluster of brightly colored umbrellas, with a girl that wasn’t Katherine pressed up against his side and kissing his ear.A shiver of disgust rolled through me when I saw tongue, but that was quickly overshadowed by the leap of my heart as Julian’s brows lowered and his mouth pulled into a tight, disapproving line.Trying to play it off, I waved with a wide grin, but the next thing I knew, I was toppling backwards into the pool after someone pushed

JadeI couldn’t believe I was still going ahead with this absurd plan of mine.But it wasn’t about seducing Julian any longer. It was about finding a concrete reason to finally be able to leave him for good.After last night when Gavin dropped me off because Sierra had insisted she didn’t want me walking alone so late even though the streets in our little neighborhood were safe, and then Julian had confronted me like somehow I was the one with all the faults, that was when I made up my mind.The chance had practically fallen into my lap and I now had my own invitation, so the temptation was simply too strong to resist.He didn’t want me to go, which could only mean one thing—he was taking someone else. Or, he was planning on meeting another woman at the masquerade ball.Everyone had been warning me that he was definitely cheating, considering the fact he had never touched me, and now I was going to go with my head for once and confirm whether or not there was truly no hope for us as a

Julian Wondering whether or not she knew she was exposed pushed what little patience I had left to its limit. “No.” I managed to keep from snapping. “You can go to sleep. I’ll handle this.” “Okay,” she replied in a small voice. “Goodnight sir.” My attention was already back on my phone as she left, wracking my brain over who else I could call that would be able to give me answers. I landed on nobody, realizing with no little amount of frustration that I knew next to nothing about Jade and her life. I could always call Vince as a last resort to send out a few of his men and track her down, but I was trying to still remain levelheaded, hoping she had just gone out to the convenience store or something and would be back soon. “Mr. Davenport?” I turned my neck at Hazel’s voice, my forehead creasing with a frown at the fact that she was still standing there. “I just wanted to let you know I think she might have gone to her friend’s place.” I turned fully, my attention sharpening a

JulianI might have gone a bit too far.Grabbing her like that, threatening her. I shouldn’t have. But maybe it was for the best.That should definitely have shown her what a future with me would look like. A sensible person wouldn’t want that for themselves, no matter what brand of rose-colored glasses they wore, so I was certain I’d be hearing from her parents soon, telling me the engagement was called off.Vince was on my ass to either do it myself, or start treating her like a human being, calling me a spineless idiot and refusing to hear any more of my explanations.Knowing all of this would be a thing of the past soon enough kept me focused on work.I left early and headed straight to the townhouse, wanting to see for myself if my plan was going in the right direction.I parked, got out and walked through the unlocked door, meeting a quiet house even though it was only eight.A niggling thought arose in the back of my mind and I immediately strode towards Jade’s room, fully expe

Jade“Is that the Donahues’ Masquerade Ball invitation?” I blurted without thinking, surprised at seeing the card here.Sierra turned to look then nodded. “Ah, yes. I hear it’s a highly anticipated occasion every year, drawing quite a crowd of influential people from all over the country.” She shook her head with a shrug. “Gavin isn’t a fan though. He never goes but they still keep sending invites like he’s going to suddenly change his mind one day.”“Gavin?” I raised a brow, confused.“Sorry. My husband. I see he didn’t properly introduce himself.” She rolled her eyes, gesturing at me to follow when she suddenly began walking towards the kitchen. “He isn’t one for societal cues, or socializing itself,” she continued explaining. “Which is why he rarely ever attends events outside of his work.”We entered the kitchen where Gavin had his wideback to us, cleaning up the place and putting away leftover food in the fridge.He turned when he heard us approach, his eyes immediately going to
