My Don’s Mistress Got My Billions Chapter 9
The helicopter flew over a turquoise sea.Below us was a private island I'd never seen before."Where are we?" I asked Julian.He sat beside me, his large hand holding mine, his voice gentle."Our home."I looked at his profile, a thousand questions swirling in my mind."Julian, why now?" I turned to him. "Why did you wait until now to show up?"He was quiet for a long moment, then he spoke."Isabella, I have to tell you a story." His eyes held a deep pain. "A story about waiting."The helicopter landed on a sprawling lawn. Rose petals were still drifting through the air."Do you remember the night you were kidnapped?" he said as we walked. "Trapped in that abandoned warehouse."My mind flashed back to that terrifying night.My mother had just died. My father was busy with his mistress, paying no attention to me.A rival family had taken me to use as leverage."I remember someone saved me," I said softly. "But I could never remember his face. I always thought Vincent seemed familiar, s

Julian gave a signal.A massive projector was rolled out and aimed at the church’s outer wall.An image flickered to life on the white stone.It was security footage from the pool, thirteen summers ago.On the screen, a fifteen-year-old Vincent was struggling in the deep end.A twelve-year-old Ava stood by the edge, in a red dress, holding a life preserver.But she didn't throw it.Instead, as Vincent reached a desperate hand toward her, she backed away in a panic. Afraid of getting in trouble, she even kicked the life preserver further from the edge.Vincent was sinking, his struggles growing weaker.Just then, a small figure rushed in from the right side of the screen.Twelve-year-old me.I dove into the pool without a second's thought, using all my strength to hold up Vincent, who was much heavier than me.But I was too small. As I pushed him toward the edge, I ran out of energy and sank beneath the surface.The footage showed me struggling underwater for a full thirty seconds befor

The world went silent, the echo of the shot hanging in the air.Vincent clutched his numb hand, staring in disbelief at the scraps of his gun on the ground."Who?!" he roared, looking around wildly. "Who fired that shot?!"The only answer was the sound of marching feet.Hundreds of men in black suits poured out of the armored cars.They were armed to the teeth, carrying military-grade weapons, their faces hidden behind masks, showing only cold, hard eyes.In the middle of this terrifying force, a Rolls-Royce Phantom glided to a stop.The door opened.A man stepped out.He was tall and lean, dressed in a custom-tailored black suit. He moved with a lethal grace that radiated absolute authority. Sunglasses hid the top half of his face, but his thin lips and strong jawline radiated a suffocating power.The moment Vincent saw him, the blood drained from his face."No... impossible..." he stammered, backing away. "You... you're not..."The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of dee

The heavy church doors wouldn't budge.Then, a voice cut through the silence behind me."Isabella."I turned. The morning sun caught the diamonds on my dress, exploding into a thousand tiny suns.The moment Vincent saw me, he froze, his jaw going slack.His eyes devoured me, tracing the line of my dress down to the blinding diamonds."My God," he breathed. "Isabella... you look...""We've been looking for you everywhere, Isabella," Ava's voice, dripping with fake honey, sliced through the air. “We sent you an ultimatum. You don’t reply, and then you show up here in a wedding dress? Trying to force Vincent to marry you?”I stared at her, my face a mask of ice. “You’re overthinking it, Ava. I am getting married. Just not to him.”Vincent finally snapped out of it. He took a deep breath, that arrogant look returning to his face."Since we're all here, this saves time. Come home, Isabella. Your place as lady of the house is still waiting.""Come home?" I laughed. "Vincent, do you really th

I went back to my apartment. The first thing I did was walk to my vanity.A twelve-carat blue diamond ring sat there.Vincent's engagement ring from ten years ago.I picked it up and, without hesitating, threw it into the fireplace.The flames licked at the platinum band, but the diamond just sat there, sparkling.A perfect symbol for my love. Cold, hard, and dead."Miss, you're back."My butler, Andre, came in. He took one look at my face and knew."Call a meeting of all the family elders," I said, turning to him. "Tonight, eight o'clock. Emergency.""Yes, Miss. Also, Miss..." He hesitated. "Chicago called again. About the marriage proposal. It's the third time this year."The mysterious family in Chicago.For two years, they'd been asking for an alliance. I'd turned them all down, blinded by Vincent."Tell them I accept."Andre's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly regained his composure."Shall I arrange a meeting?""Not a meeting. A wedding. Arrange it for three days from now.

The disgust in his eyes hurt more than any weapon.Just then, Ava, who'd been "trembling" in Vincent's arms, looked up at me, her eyes wet with tears."Isabella, sister, please, stop…" she said weakly, her voice was weak, already starting to break. “I know you hate me, but you can’t deny the truth… I saved Vincent’s life. All our lives, I’ve let you have everything—the clothes, the awards, the jewelry. But not him. I’m not giving up Vincent.”As she spoke, she pulled away from Vincent and walked toward me, reaching for my hand like she was about to beg.“If you think this is my fault, then hit me! Go on!”The second she was close, something in her eyes changed. They went cold. Vicious.Where Vincent couldn’t see, her fingers dug into my arm.Pain shot through me. I tried to pull away, but she suddenly threw herself backward, slamming her body hard against the sharp corner of the desk."Ahhh—!"A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the study.It happened so fast I couldn't even react.A
