Chapter 323

Kayla Sango
"What do you mean, disappeared?" Nate asked, his voice edged with growing irritation.

A bitter, ironic laugh slipped out of me, echoing through the cold, sterile room at the precinct. The situation was so absurdly predictable it almost felt laughable. if it weren't so infuriating.

"With money and influence," I replied, my voice dripping with a cynicism I barely recognized in myself. "I've seen this happen before. And the culprit was a corrupt, criminal Kensington then, too."

Richardson continued his explanation with the professional patience of someone who had handled cases like this more times than he cared to count.

"System failure, according to the hotel," he said, unmistakable skepticism woven into every word. "Data corruption during the exact hours that matter. The footage from before and after is perfectly intact, but the recordings from the time you were in the room and when James was arrested, simply no longer exist."

"That can't be a coincidence," Nate said, his voic

  • Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire   Chapter 352

    The chapel doors opened, and the first thing I heard was the soft sound of the organ echoing through the stone walls. The familiar melody filled the air, but it was the sight in front of me that truly stole my breath. Nate stood at the altar, flawless in his black tuxedo, his hands clasped in front of him. But it was the look on his face that sent my heart racing. His green eyes were locked on mine with an intensity that felt powerful enough to stop time itself, a gentle smile playing on his lips as if he were watching a miracle unfold right before him. "Ready, my daughter?" my father whispered at my side, offering his arm with that mix of pride and bittersweet emotion only fathers of brides ever seem to carry. I nodded, still unable to take my eyes off Nate, and we began our walk down the center aisle. Ahead of us, Ginger trotted proudly, a small velvet pillow strapped to her back, carrying our rings as if she fully understood the importance of her mission. Her golden fur glow

    The small chapel was only a few minutes from the mansion, but the trip there would be made with all the pomp a family like ours deserved. A row of classic cars was parked in front of the main entrance. There was a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom, two vintage Bentleys, and a classic 1950s Mercedes, all impeccably restored and decorated with white ribbons and small floral arrangements. Zoey stood beside me, making the final adjustments to my dress with professional precision. She carefully arranged every fold of the train, making sure the fabric wouldn't get caught in the car door when I stepped out. Her hands moved with meticulous care, as if she were preparing a work of art. "Done," she said, stepping back to admire the result. "You look perfect." The uniformed drivers waited respectfully, and I saw Bianca heading toward the second car with Sarah and Tori. Everything around us moved in an elegant, coordinated flow, like a perfectly rehearsed dance. Zoey was about to follow the others

    My heart was pounding so hard I was sure everyone in the mansion could hear it. I gathered the hem of my dress in one hand and held Ginger's leash in the other as I walked down the hallway toward the room where Nate was getting ready. I'd been carrying this secret since we got back from Solara, since that moment in the hotel bathroom when Zoey held the test in her hands. Whatever those three minutes had revealed, I'd decided to wait until today to tell Nate. Ginger walked beside me, her collar decorated with a small white ribbon Zoey had insisted on tying there. "If she's going to witness the most important moment of your life, she needs to be dressed for the occasion," Zoey had said. I stopped in front of Nate's door and took a deep breath. From inside, I could hear Oliver and Christian joking about his tie, followed by Nate's laughter. My future husband. The man I would share all the years of my life with. I knocked softly. "Nate? Can I come in?" "Annie?" His voice sounde

    One of the guest rooms at the Kensington mansion had been transformed into a full-on command center for the final preparations. Extra mirrors had been brought in and strategically placed, white flowers filled every available corner, and a soft lavender scent lingered in the air. I was already dressed, the satin of my gown catching the golden afternoon light streaming through the windows. The train spilled gracefully around me, and Ginger lay right at my side, her head resting delicately on part of the fabric. She seemed to understand the gravity of the moment, her golden eyes fixed on me with the kind of unconditional devotion only dogs can give. "She hasn't left your side since we got here," my mother said, carefully making the final adjustments to my veil. "It's like she knows today is special." "She knows," Zoey said, kneeling beside me as she fixed the hem of my dress. "Ginger's always been intuitive. Haven't you, sweetheart?" I gently stroked my golden retriever's soft hea

    Marcus' POV The Kensington estate in Highridge Valley had been completely transformed. Gardens meticulously decorated with white and gold floral arrangements. Elegant tents spread across the property. A festive energy that reached even the most serious staff members. Annie and Nathaniel's wedding had mobilized the entire family, along with friends, business partners, and important clients. The result looked like something straight out of a luxury magazine. I parked my Ducati near the main entrance, pulled off my helmet, and ran a hand through my wind-tousled hair. A few curious glances came my way. After all, it wasn't every day someone showed up to a Kensington wedding on a motorcycle. But I needed that sense of freedom on the road, especially today. The white envelope inside my leather jacket felt like it was made of lead. "Marcus!" Christian appeared in the entrance hall, impeccable in his tailored suit, but his expression shifted the moment he saw me. "What's with that fa

    I don't know how long I lay there on the hotel bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to process all the possibilities spinning through my head. It could be pregnancy. It could be anxiety. It could be the treatment hormones wreaking havoc on my system. It could be everything, or nothing at all. The beep of the hotel key card snapped me out of my thoughts. Zoey burst in like a hurricane, carrying a pharmacy bag and wearing that conspiratorial smile I knew all too well. "Mission accomplished!" she announced. "You went out like that? In pajamas?" "Oh…" She looked down at herself, like she was only just noticing. "That explains the weird looks," she said, dumping the contents of the bag onto the bed. Three different pregnancy test boxes landed on the comforter. I stared at them, then at Zoey, who had an expression that was equal parts amused and nostalgic. "Three tests, Zoey? Seriously?" "Of course," she said, lining the boxes up in a perfectly straight row. "How could I not?
