Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 85: A Beautiful Holiday Moment
The journey to the Caribbean ended in a breathtaking surprise. The modern, glass-dominated villa felt like an extravagant gift, a pause from bitter reality. Before them stretched a perfect private beach, filled with pure white sand and calm turquoise waters. The exhaustion and fear that had piled up at Knight Mansion seemed to melt away at once, replaced by the warmth of the tropical sun.As they arrived, Avery took a deep breath of the salty, fresh air. “My God, Ashton. This is… incredible. I truly feel like I’m in heaven,” she whispered in awe.Ashton, now dressed in far more relaxed vacation clothes, nodded. “I’m glad you like it. I want you all to really breathe here. Enjoy yourselves, no one will disturb you,” he replied with a small smile.Any awkwardness between them was quickly swept away by Adelia’s delight. The baby was overjoyed by the beach. She burst into laughter as Sarah and Avery took turns guiding her to play in the sand.“Look at her! She’s like a real beach baby. Th

That morning, the atmosphere at the Reed residence was suffocating. Panic gripped Rose and Oliver as the police arrived with arrest warrants in hand. Though Rose protested loudly, shouting that this was a conspiracy and that she had rights, the evidence laid before them was far too overwhelming and clear to deny.The intruders’ confessions from the night before, CCTV footage showing their movements around Knight Mansion, and phone records directly linking Rose to Jovan, all of it formed an irrefutable chain of proof. There was no longer any room to escape the bitter reality closing in on them.They were escorted out of the house under the whispering gazes of neighbors that felt like sharp judgments piercing their skin. At the police station, the tension between mother and son finally exploded. For the time being, they were placed in the same interrogation room.It was an ironic scene, for here was where the ugly truth about their relationship began to tear itself apart. Long-suppresse
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 83: The Night They Tried to Take Her
Rose informed Jovan of her newest plan. If she could no longer destroy Avery with threats and intimidation, then she would take what was most precious to her, her daughter. She would kidnap Adelia. That way, not only would Avery be shattered beyond repair, but the child would also become a powerful bargaining chip in negotiations with the Knights.Oliver, who had been restless over his mother’s repeated failures, happened to overhear Rose’s secretive phone conversation with Jovan. The words “Adelia” and “kidnap” rang clearly in his ears, freezing the blood in his veins. He burst into Rose’s room, eyes wide with disbelief.“Mom, what are you planning?” he asked, hoping he had heard wrong.Rose looked up, irritation flashing in her sharp gaze. Her face darkened in anger at the interruption. “Don’t interfere, Oliver. You’re far too cowardly and timid to be part of a dangerous game like this,” she said coldly.Oliver clenched his jaw and stepped forward, challenging her. “I don’t think I
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 82: The Night Intruder
The night had reached its deepest hour. At Knight Mansion, the silence felt thick and suffocating, broken only by the faint hiss of the ventilation system. Yet far below, in the underground security control room, a silent alarm was triggered—tiny red lights blinking in rapid rhythm.A motion sensor in the western sector—the most secluded area bordering the forest—had been activated. The report instantly appeared on the main screen, flashing a Level One security breach warning.An intruder, dressed in black from head to toe, had slipped past the first concealed outer fence. His movements were swift and trained, leaving almost no trace. He moved like a shadow beneath the dense canopy of trees. His objective was clear: reach the main house.Inside the security room, the chief of security issued immediate commands. The mansion was placed under lockdown. The concealed steel doors—installed after Rose’s threats became more real—slid out from walls and window frames with heavy mechanical sou

News of the dead dove hanging from the mansion gate spread quickly through whispers among the staff. Avery, who overheard the horrifying rumor, couldn’t suppress her curiosity that’s mixed with dread. She left the sitting room and walked toward one of the large windows that faced the front gate.There, she saw it. The stiff white bird, suspended in a grotesque way. That innocent creature must have been killed in a terribly cruel manner.The sight, a symbol of such blatant and vicious threat, instantly churned her stomach. Avery reflexively covered her mouth, fighting back the nausea rising within her. This threat felt far more personal and revolting than anything she had ever experienced.At that very moment, Ashton stepped out of his study, intending to head for the IT room. He saw Avery standing frozen by the window, her face deathly pale, her eyes locked on the gate.“You don’t need to see that, Avery,” Ashton said quickly, his voice a blend of concern and command. He immediately p
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 80: The Threatening Message
In a hideout converted into a temporary refuge, Clara sat alone, her heart pounding as darkness crept in from outside.The silence that wrapped around the place felt suffocating, as though real danger lurked just beyond the walls, watching her every moment. Suddenly, the old phone she used vibrated violently. Her hands trembled as she reached for it. An unknown number flashed on the screen. Despite her hesitation, she answered.What reached her ears was not a human voice, but the sound she feared most, a static recording of a hymn she used to hear in church. A melody that once brought comfort now transformed into something crawling with terror.Horrified, Clara knew instantly. They had found her.The fear that had been stalking her tightened its grip, stealing the air from her lungs. She curled in on herself, shaking uncontrollably, hugging her knees as if she could shield herself from the unseen threat. The dreadful hymn continued to loop, like a chant summoning her worst nightmares.
