When Isla came to again, her wrists and ankles were bound, locked inside some kind of bathroom stall.

No light. Just cold, damp dark. Terror hit her instantly. Her clothes were soaked through, barely covering her at all.

Kidnapped. Who? Bianca? Torn clothing, no obvious physical injury beyond the ankle, all-female captors, this had Bianca written all over it.

I HELPED her. And this is how she repays it.

Every small movement sent pain lancing through her body, throbbing ankle, pounding head.

  • Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage   Chapter 59: The Great Demon King Appears in the Vale Estate at Midnight

    Exhausted, Isla let herself be carried out of the building. She wanted nothing more than to sleep, but stepping outside, she found the entire campus lit up floor to ceiling, a crowd of faculty waiting anxiously nearby.Dozens of teachers and students packed the hillside, it looked like half the school had turned out.Isla wanted desperately to hide her face, but with nothing to cover herself and nowhere to go, she just turned her head, shut her eyes, and lay limp against Grayson's chest, playing corpse.Grayson: "..."He carried her the entire way down the hill without setting her down once. Marcus pulled the car around, opened the door, and stood aside as Grayson settled her into the back seat.Isla grabbed a fistful of his sleeve, refusing to let go. "It'll get dirty... I'll ruin your seats."Wrapped in nothing but his oversized suit jacket, barely covered, she was terrified her blood would stain the leather.Her small face was a portrait of genuine distress.Grayson actually paused

    Isla's eyes flicked to the shoes, then down at herself. Torn clothing, barely covering anything. If a strange man walked in on her like thisBang! The door was wrenched open.Through her panic, she saw Grayson's furious face.Every ounce of terror that had built up in her chest suddenly, impossibly, drained away.Never in a million years did I think this insufferable man would be the sight that made me feel safe."WAAAAH!!" Isla broke down sobbing, tears streaming as she looked up at him.The second Grayson took in her red, swollen eyes and disheveled state, he felt something dark and violent surge through him."Idiot woman." His voice came out cold, though relief was plainly winning out under the anger.He crouched down and gathered her up into his arms without hesitation.Isla, hoisted up in one arm, cried harder than she ever had in her life. Minutes ago she'd been terrified beyond words, now, seeing his furious, familiar face, she simply felt safe.He tore the tape from her mouth

    When Isla came to again, her wrists and ankles were bound, locked inside some kind of bathroom stall.No light. Just cold, damp dark. Terror hit her instantly. Her clothes were soaked through, barely covering her at all.Kidnapped. Who? Bianca? Torn clothing, no obvious physical injury beyond the ankle, all-female captors, this had Bianca written all over it.I HELPED her. And this is how she repays it.Every small movement sent pain lancing through her body, throbbing ankle, pounding head.She tried to call out and couldn't force a sound past the gag. Disheveled, exhausted, utterly helpless.That absolute snake. I did exactly what she asked and she still turned on me.Isla had forgotten how petty Bianca actually was, furious that Grayson had brushed her off in favor of Isla earlier, and now that she'd finally landed his attention, apparently this was payback for the earlier slight.Vicious. Genuinely vicious.The gag in her mouth turned her stomach, nausea rising with every breath.S

    "Of course, happy to accommodate Ms. Bennett."Isla got pushed aside entirely. Hearing his amused tone and watching Bianca practically preen, something cold settled in her chest.Bianca wasted no time throwing the door open and sliding in next to Grayson."Thank you, Mr. Vale," she said, batting her lashes with practiced shyness.Isla climbed in after and settled at the far end. Bianca, seated close beside Grayson, radiated giddy anticipation. Grayson himself looked oddly content, an easy smile on his face.Maybe she actually pulled it off.Isla had barely sat down when a sharp pain shot through her leg."Ow!"Bianca had pinched her, hard, out of sight."Isla, you okay?" Bianca asked, all fake concern.Behind Grayson's back, her expression twisted with irritation, punctuated by a pointed wink.Isla got the message. Ignoring the fresh bruise blooming on her leg, she played along. "Actually I think I left something backstage. I need to go grab it.""Really? Nothing else you wanted to sa

    Bianca opened the show with a solo dance performance.Her classical routine, all graceful lines and ethereal staging, made for a genuinely stunning opener.Watching from the wings, Isla could tell exactly where Bianca's attention was fixed the whole time.Front row, center seat. Grayson.The song ended to thunderous applause. Bianca took her bow and exited as Isla and Marcus stepped back onto the stage.Passing each other in the wings, Bianca murmured, "I'll be waiting backstage once this wraps."Isla heard it and said nothing the implication was clear enough. She wants her ride secured.Out on stage, Isla noticed Grayson clapping enthusiastically as she walked out same as the rest of the audience while he'd stayed completely still for Bianca's number.Interesting. Guess the sparks haven't caught yet.She shook off the distraction and refocused on the job.The full ceremony ran three hours before wrapping up.As everyone took their final bows, Isla trailed at the back of the group.

    The two of them moved through the script seamlessly. After two full run-throughs, they had every segment down cold, and Isla finally exhaled in relief.Once Marcus finished reading, he caught her eye as she turned to leave. "Isla, can we talk for a second?""Hm?" Isla had her stage makeup on but hadn't yet changed into her hosting dress. Thirty minutes to spare enough time. She nodded."Sure. What about? Is this about... the marriage?"She didn't dance around it, going straight to the point.At the word "marriage," Marcus's handsome face went quiet for a beat before he nodded."Don't worry, I'll keep it to myself. I just want to know if you're actually okay. This isn't like you you don't do sudden, impulsive things, let alone marry someone you can't even name publicly." Marcus hit the target dead-on, his clear eyes steady on her face. "If you need help, I mean it whatever I can do. Please don't gamble with your own life like this."His voice had started uncertain, but by the last line
