"They want the exchange tomorrow." Told Andrew as soon as he ended the call.
"Becky!" President Preston held his wife. She fainted for the second time.The first time happened after President Preston and his wife watched the record of CCTV footage in Andrew's office.The mood then was so tense. Henry and his team lost track of the car that had Lila in it. While Evan's men managed to gather and inform of possible places to hide from all over the city and the borders. But without any trace, they couldn't determine the search point.Andrew knew he had to stay calm and rational to fix this situation. But, there was always but in any tense situation, which he couldn't take because it felt disturbingly like a dead end. And it scared him like hell.Things that neatly arranged on his fancy desk were broken and shattered on the floor.

His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 38. Escape
"Yesss…" Lila whispered cheerfully.She managed to untie her hands. Then she quickly untied the rope that twisted very tight around her ankles.The four evil men who thought she was Andrew's girlfriend were snoring peacefully on the other side of the room. One was on the very ugly and worn out couch, while the other three were sprawling on the floor.Lila tried to stand, but since her legs were in a folded position for more than twelve hours, she couldn't stand tall right away. She bent, waiting for her legs's strength to be back and also enduring the pain in her abdomen.When she felt her body was strong enough and used to the pain, she tiptoed toward the table where the three boxes were.Once she was in front of the table, she shifted her eyes at the four men. They were asleep, undisturbed.Lila made a face at them and stuck her tongue out. You know nothing about me!Her escape plan was to make some explosive weapons f

"It's been two days. When will she be awake?" Asked Andrew nicely but in an impatient tone.One of Andrew's attending doctors was assigned to take very good care of Lila in Andrew's mansion. She was placed in the largest room on the mansion's top floor which had direct access to the helipads on the rooftop.Since Andrew decided to protect the information about his rare blood type's condition, he needed a medical team to treat him or his cousin if they got hurt. That was why he created the top floor's room similar to a hospital. But the room remained unused until now."Her recovery is impressive. She should be awake anytime soon." Answered the doctor. True, all Lila's senses were back including her consciousness, but drowsiness still clouded over her nerve system.Slowly she tried to open her eyes, but only managed to make it half open. She could recognize the silhouette of whose face that was looking at her with a sad expression even tho

"You said it will be a fun meeting." Lila was sitting next to Andrew on the plush two seater sofa."It will.""Then, why are they wearing formal attire?" Lila pointed with her eyes at the employees who passed by the exclusive waiting room where Lila and Andrew were sitting.They were in the National Bank. Leaving as soon as the doctor told Lila that she was okay.Immediately, Andrew had Max arrange an urgent board meeting. The agenda of the meeting was a surprise, since there was nothing important to be discussed. But all directors had to attend the meeting because Andrew wanted them to.Andrew glanced at where Lila was staring. "They're working. We're not.""Yea, at least I'm not wearing my ragged usual outfit." Lila murmured.She wore Magnolia Gallery's last season long-sleeved dark grey silk shirt with a V-neck collar. The shirt elegantly fit in her along with the skinny jeans and flat shoes. While Andrew looked comfo

"Mr. Chairman…" Said the CEO politely, letting Andrew to lead the meeting.Andrew hummed. His face was expressionless when he looked at all the directors across the table. "I believe all of you are wise enough to keep whatever we're going to discuss in today's meeting, stays in this room."Silence.Wow. Thought Lila. No small talk, just straight to open warning."Alright." Andrew continued, assuming the directors understood and agreed. "I have a question." Said Andrew calmly, gazing at all the directors one by one briefly. "Does anyone here know me?"Some directors frowned, wondering what kind of question was that? Or was that a tricky question?And some successfully hid their puzzled expression with an unreadable face, while wondering the same things. "Nobody?" Asked Andrew again when no one in the room uttered any word.Lila was suppressing her smile. She was afraid her smile might turn into laughter because
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 42. Or go to jail
"You still think I'm being unfair?" Asked Andrew to the CEO when Lila walked a bit slower behind them, she was talking with Max.The CEO didn't respond right away, instead he looked at Andrew calculatingly. Since he couldn't read anything in Andrew's face, he sighed. "I believe you have a very strong reason behind your every action, Mr. Mac Miller."Andrew said nothing. He didn't think it was necessary to explain his reason."I hope you understand that I have to stand up for my director, since his position will be vacant for some time and--""I understand." Andrew cut in. "You don't need to lecture me about the details."Their walk toward the elevator halted upon hearing an angry voice shouting Lila's name."We need to talk." Tony told Lila once he managed to face her which made her nose puckered."I don't think so." Replied Lila coldly as the same time Andrew stood beside her in protective manner. She really didn't want
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 43. Amusement Park
"We're sitting on a bench, ice creams in our hands, and useless VIP access." Andrew licked the ice cream in his hand.Lila giggled. "Come on, don't be such a whiny. What's wrong with sitting here and watching those people scream in fear." She ended with a grin.Andrew snorted. Because Lila insisted on walking around the moment their feet stepped inside the park. She told Andrew that she wanted to feel the ambiance of the people which ended in the ice cream booth.He shoved the ice cream into his mouth in one go, leaving the empty cone in his hand. While he saw Lila beside him still licking her ice cream, happily watching people scream on the roller-coaster.Observing Lila whose smile bloomed as the roller-coaster above started to launch, then her smile turned wider as the people inside it screamed and her soft laughter escaped when it turned upside down. She was so weird but she looked more attractive than when she was in her sexy distress state.
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 44. Confession
"Aunt Becky said she and Uncle Malcolm are going home today because she misses your baby." Andrew told Lila in the car. They were on their way back to Andrew's mansion from lunch.Their lunch was way past the lunch time, because the three of them went to the hospital first as Andrew wanted to make sure the injured employees got the treatment that they should have.And after the injured employees were declared that they could go home, Andrew told Max to settle the hospital bill.A second later, Lila heard Andrew continued. "What does that mean? Do you have a baby?"Lila laughed. Andrew sounded like Uncle Malcolm when she mentioned the baby, except Andrew's tone was calm."It's a kitten." She told Andrew."Oh… Do you want to go home as well or--""What kind of question is that? Of course, I'll go to their home. Right after you give me your blood."Andrew tilted a smile. He promised Lila to give his blood today.
