Chapter 23: Homesick
“I know we’ve had this conversation before but I think it’s time for us to go back home,” said Emilia.
“This is home,” Kane replied with a mischievous grin.
“You know what I mean.”
He chuckled. “Feeling homesick, are you?”
“Yes.”
It was two months before the twins’ first birthday and Emilia would rather they had the party in the Beaumont mansion in the U.S. instead of their secluded island home. She was an introvert who enjoyed solitude but she’d had enough of this off-the-grid living.
“Well, if I’m being honest, I miss home too,” Kane admitted. “I miss my office and those face-to-face meetings with my employees. Video calling simply can’t replace the real thing.”
“So you were homesick too and just waiting for me to say something first.”
“Well…”
Emilia laughed. “I&rs

“Did you do it?”“No! Why would you even think that?”“The photos were taken from your room, Chloe. Who else had access to your room?”“Ever heard of maids?” She asked sarcastically.“The maids are not allowed to use their phones while on duty.”“I don’t know what you want me to say, Emilia. I didn’t do it. I would never betray you and Kane like that. Never!”Emilia sighed. “This is really disturbing. Maybe coming back to the U.S. with the children was a mistake.”“I don’t think so. I kinda have a sneaky feeling that someone is trying to set me up in this house and I honestly don’t know why.”“My vote is on Serena.”“Who’s that?”“Lillian’s PA. She even claimed that she saw Samuel coming out of your room on the day of the party.”Chloe’

They arrived home and found two police cars parked in front of the mansion with their red and blue lights flashing. Both of them were instantly worried and got out of the Rolls Royce as soon as the car pulled to a stop.“What’s going on? What happened?” Emilia asked, racing toward the policemen standing near the open front door.“Good evening, Mrs Beaumont,” one of them greeted her. “Please, be calm.”“Why are you guys here?” Kane asked too.“Let’s go inside, please,” a female cop said and tried to lead Emilia inside.“No! Tell me what happened right now!”“You’re back,” said Elsie, coming outside. She looked upset and her usually impeccable makeup was ruined with tears. “Please, come inside and sit down.”Kane followed his mother in and Emilia followed suit too. The suspense was killing them but it seemed that everyone wa

“Please tell me you have some good news for me, Detective Riley,” Kane said as he welcomed the cop into his office.“Well… let’s just say we might have hit a little snag in the search but we’re not giving up.”“What do you mean?”“We found the Banks family members. The father is battling heart disease and lives in hospice care. He informed us that he and Kendra’s mother got divorced shortly after their daughter’s death.”“Why? Because they couldn’t squeeze out more money from me?”“Not really. Joyce was the brain behind all those interviews and smear campaigns. The old guy claimed to have been forced to participate but he eventually got tired and bowed out.”“Interesting…”“That was when Joyce filed for a divorce and kicked him out of their home.”“And their son?”“

Kane’s head was throbbing when he woke up. His back ached and his mouth felt heavy. He yawned and tried to roll over but he bumped into soft, warm flesh.His eyes cleared immediately and he blinked when he saw a naked woman lying beside him. He was even more horrified when he realized that he too was naked and they were lying down on the floor of his study.“What the hell?” He cursed and sat up.Serena woke up and smiled at him. “Good morning, handsome.”“What the hell are you doing here?”Her smile faltered. “I came here to keep you company last night when you were lonely and we made love twice.”Kane nearly fainted. His life was over!“That’s not possible,” he whispered in denial. “I couldn’t have done that.”“You did!” Serena fired back sharply. She was starting to lose her temper.“I have no recollection of eve

“We have a solid lead,” said Detective Riley confidently. “We got a hit on Joyce Banks’ debit card yesterday. She used it to purchase a bus ticket in Florida.”“Thank God!” Kane sighed with relief.“She took my baby to Florida?” Emilia wailed.“Please, calm down, Mrs Beaumont. We haven’t yet established that she is your daughter’s kidnapper.”“I don’t care what you’ve established. Everything points to her as the culprit!” Emilia snapped.“Sweetheart, please,” Kane implored her. “So, detective, have you sent a team down to Florida to track her down?”“Yes, we deployed a search party immediately. They’ll report back to me later today with their findings.”“So, what now? Are we supposed to just sit around and wait for a report?” Emilia asked. “Why don’t we go there ourselves and bring our child home?”“Mrs Beaumont – ““Don’t patronize me, Detective Riley. I’m not going to sit here and count sheep until you and your team finally get around to locating my daughter’s kidnapper. I’m boardin
Married On Paper To The Billionaire Chapter 29: Déjà vu
Kane returned home with his tail between his legs. The trip to Florida had been a complete waste of time.The street urchin who was using Joyce’s card couldn’t remember where he stole it from her. He was so high that he was barely coherent.“Please, come back home quickly,” His mother had told him on the phone. “Emilia is ill again. We’ve sent for the doctor to come and check her but I think you need to be here too.”He’d gotten on his private jet as soon as he could, leaving Detective Riley behind to continue with the investigation. As soon as he arrived at the Beaumont mansion, a maid was waiting at the doorway with a sealed note in her hand.“What’s this?” He asked distastefully when she presented the note to him.He wasn’t in the mood to look through the utility bills. That was Lillian’s job.“It’s a note for you, sir,” said the maid. “Miss Filipe instructed me to give it to you. She said it is a very important message which you must receive as soon as you arrive.”He snatched the

“You have to do something about this, Kane. People are beginning to talk.”“What do you want me to do?”“Plead with Emilia again until she allows you back into the mansion. Living in your condo like this won’t solve anything.”“Living with her won’t solve anything either. This is all my fault, so let me carry my cross alone, Lillian. Thanks, by the way.”“Don’t thank me. I was the one that let that sneaky viper into our house. I still can’t believe it. How could she do that to you?”“Still my fault. I let my guard down.”“I always knew there was something sinister about that girl but I didn’t expect her to go that far.”“Well, the deed is done. Let’s refocus our attention on finding Tiara and bringing this nightmare to an end.”Lillian sighed. “Gosh, Kane. It’s been nearly three months since she went missing. We should have found her by now.”“Trust me, this is the most frustrating experience of my life. I never knew that there was something my endless supply of money couldn’t get me.

“Fix it!”“How?”“I don’t care. Just fix it and make it go away. I’m not going to let that demented demon take the public’s attention away from my daughter’s search.”“Do you realize what you’re saying, Emilia? Fixing this means letting Serena walk free.”“So be it. If you’d had the decency to keep your dick in your pants, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.”Kane groaned. “I’ve already explained that to you a million times. I was drunk that night and I still don’t remember what happened. I didn’t do it deliberately.”“So you say…”“You still don’t believe me?”“That’s not important right now. Do everything you must to make sure that Serena doesn’t spill her gut to the world. It’s bad enough that the police are already awar
