Married To A Billionaire Nightmare Chapter 122
LORETTA I shot up from the old couch, planting my heels firmly in the ground. “Let me make one thing clear,” I hissed at him, baring my teeth. “I may have come here seeking answers and for a way to find Beatrice Leonard for myself, but make no mistake, I am not a fool”Trevor's eyes narrowed in mockery. He rubbed his jaw while observing me. “Crazy B said this was going to happen,” he said, shaking his head again. “She was right, you are in love with him”The words struck into me deeply, deeper than I wanted them to. I suddenly found myself panting, at a loss for words, “I...I am not—”“You are.” His shoulders shook with a humorless laugh, which made my inhibitions only rise. “I've known Beatrice for some time, just like I know Elion.” He spread his arms wide over the apartment. “Why do you think I live in a godforsaken house like this?”My lips parted, the silent question curling between us. “What you're guessing is correct, Loretta,” He answered himself. “Just like B, I too am hidi

LORETTA Trevor's home looked like it had been forgotten by the world It was a narrow, two-story brick building wedged between an abandoned warehouse and a run down bulding. Its walls were darkened by years of rain, no maintenance, and neglect.Most of the windows had been sealed shut, while the remaining ones were covered with dust so thick I could barely see through them. Ivy crawled up one side of the building, winding around broken bricks. His faded green door hung crookedly on its balance It looked less like a home where someone lived and more like a....“You're going in?” The guard's voice pulled me back from my thoughts I glanced over my shoulder. He was standing behind me, one hand resting casually near the weapon beneath his jacket. I stepped past the threshold, and the first thing that hit me was the smell.It wasn't pleasant. The smell of Damon wood, dust, old cigarettes, and something like bleach hung thickly in the airThe second thing I noticed was how dark it was in

LORETTA We hadn't gone up to twenty feet before three men lounging against a graffiti-covered wall straightened. One of them flashed a smile with his yellow teeth. “Well, well... what've we got here?” Another whistled low, his eyes rolling over me, “Lost, sweetheart?” The third stepped directly into my path, his gaze lingering far too long. “You don't belong around here.”Before I could respond, the guard shoved the man back with enough force to make him stumble. “Back off” The man's smile vanished. For a heartbeat, I thought a fight was about to break out; my fight or flight reflexes kicked into motion, but there was no way I could fight all those guys, and where could I possibly run to from here? How far before someone catches up with me?The guard casually pulled back his jacket just enough for them to notice the pistol tucked beneath his waistband. I gasped loudly, not expecting that it was with a gun this whole time. The three guys exchanged glances before stepping aside with

LORETTA The sky gave way to darkening clouds, just like my determination was giving way to deep, bone-chilling fear.The taxi drove past gleaming condos and polished office blocks. The farther we went, the more the city seemed to...change.I haven't gotten this far before, never had a reason to.Fine blocks of building became sparse, giving way to aging apartment complexes with cracked balconies and peeling paint. The boutique and cafes all disappeared, replaced by pawn shops, liquor stores, and boarded-up storefronts. The roads grew rough beneath the tires. Every pothole jolted the taxi hard enough to rattle my teeth and bones, and with each passing street, it felt as though we were driving farther away from the city I knew, and deeper into one that had long since been abandoned.People lingered on street corners, not talking, just watching, watching the cars roll by, watching strangers, watching usThe taxi driver, who was initially grumbling about the sour weather when we first

LORETTA I folded my arms tightly across my chest, forcing myself to hold his gaze. “Well? Start talking” The guard didn't answer immediately. Instead, his eyes drifted lazily around the club, scanning the bartender, the day drinkers at the bar, the elderly couple tucked away in the corner, and the two women laughing over cocktails by the window.Only after satisfying himself that no one was paying attention to us did he look back at me, and then he crooked one finger, “Come closer”The tone of his voice dropped lower, quieter, as if he was about to reveal a government-level top secret between us. I hesitated at first, chills running down my spine, every instinct told me not to, but I had already come too far to back outReluctantly, I stepped closer until I was standing directly in front of the security podium. He leaned forward, lowering his voice more until it was barely more than anything but a whisper. “The guy you're looking for...” His eyes narrowed slightly, “...calls himself

LORETTAAtmosphere looked like an entirely different place at noonLast night, the building had vibrated with music so loud I could feel it inside my ribs, neon lights had painted the pavement in brilliant blues, greens, and red, while hundreds of people moved in and out with their bodies smashing together Today, it looked almost ordinary.The enormous black sign still hung above the entrance, but without the darkness of night to make it pop out, it was simply a nightclub signThe music was gone, and so was the rowdiness. I paid my taxi driver, climbed out, and stood on the sidewalk for a long moment.This was ridiculous. I had no guarantee the man would even be here or that anyone here would even know him But still, I had to try; this was the only real lead I've gotten in months, and I wasn't about to be discouraged. I swallowed loudly as I pushed the doors openCool air wrapped around me immediately. The club still smelled of expensive liquor, but this time it was accompanied by c

LORETTA I barely made it to the car before my legs gave outFather's grip on the steering wheel was tight. “That went...well”I didn't know if it was a question or not. Bile revolted in my stomach and rose to my throat “Drive” I wanted to be out of here, put as much distance between Elion and me

ELION This city is beneath me.Everything else will be soon. It's only a matter of time. My jaw ticked once as I watched the bustle in the streets of Seattle, several floors beneath my office windows. Busy people moving in every direction: hurrying, rushing, sprinting, scrambling, running towards

LORETTA “Please!”The scream wrenched out from my lungsMy hands flew to my heaving chest, as if I were trying to stop my heart from bursting through. My vision is distorted and blurry, it takes a few minutes of breath work to realize where I wasMy roomI blinked back the haziness in my eyes, goi
