The judge ruled in my favor. I’d won the divorce and got the liquidation of my shares from King’s Industries approved.

It was a clean break, exactly what I’d asked for. I should feel victorious, instead, I felt hollow.

We just arrived home from the courthouse, and the house seemed to buzz with energy that I couldn’t match. My mother was already in planning mode, her voice carrying from the hallway as she instructed the staff.

“We need to prepare a celebratory dinner! Something special. Champa

  • The Betrayed Heiress: Chasing Her Back   Chapter 185

    JULIEN’S POV I jumped into Laura's car, my face still throbbing from where Alessa had head-butted me. Blood dripped from my nose onto my ruined shirt, but I didn't care."Move!" I screamed at the guards scrambling into the back seat. "She's getting away!"The driver slammed on the accelerator, and we tore down the dirt road after Alessa's disappearing SUV."How could you let her escape?" I shouted at the guards in the back. "Two grown men couldn't stop one woman?""She was fast, boss," one of them mumbled. "And we didn't expect her to move so quickly."My fingers itched with the desire to slam my fist into his face. "I don't pay you to make excuses!" I spat. "I pay you to do your job!"Through the windshield, I could see Alessa's SUV swerving slightly and I nearly growled. "Faster!" I demanded. "Ram her if you have to. Just stop that car!"The driver obeyed, pushing the accelerator to the floor. We gained on her quickly, the gap between our vehicles shrinking until we were right beh

    ALESSA’S POV"Julien?" My voice came out as barely a whisper.He stepped fully into the room, and his eyes swept over me."What the fuck do you think you're doing?" he snapped at Laura.Laura, to my surprise, didn't back down. "I'm doing what you paid me to do. Or are you getting cold feet now?"My mind reeled. Paid her? Julien had paid Laura to kidnap me?"I said grab her and bring her here," Julien said coldly. "Not start carving her up like some psychopath. Give me that."He reached for the knife, but Laura pulled it back. "I'm not done yet. She needs to understand-""Give. Me. The. Knife." He growled, his jaw tightening. They stared at each other for a long moment, and I watched this surreal standoff between two people who apparently both wanted to hurt me."This is insane!" I shouted, my voice breaking. "Both of you are insane! Julien, you're my brother!""And so?" Julien asked, finally wrenching the knife from Laura's hand. "Besides, you’ve never seen me as a brother anway.”Wh

    JASON’S POVI stepped out of the shower, water still dripping from my hair, and stared at the row of suits hanging in my closet. The navy blue looked too casual and the charcoal gray was too somber for a celebration.I was reaching for the midnight blue when my phone rang. Lisa's name flashed on the screen."Hey," I answered, surprised she was calling me directly. "Is everything okay?"She was panting hard but still rushed out the word sa. "Alessa's missing."“What?" I whispered, unsure if I had heard correctly. I could hear her sniffling now. "She's missing, Jason. We can't find her anywhere!” Lisa weakly cried out. “I got to the venue and she wasn't there. Plus her phone is going straight to voicemail and no one has seen her for past hour. "Lisa, stop," I interrupted, forcing my voice to stay calm even as panic clawed at my chest. "Take a breath and tell me exactly what happened."She drew in a shaky breath. "I arrived at the venue around three. Alessa was supposed to be here ov

    Alessa's POVThe first thing I became aware of was the throbbing ache at the base of my skull that pulsed with every heartbeat.The second thing was the bumping sensation of being in a moving vehicle.I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt heavy. And when I finally managed it, I was staring at the fabric ceiling of a car trunk.No, not a trunk but a back seat. I was lying across the back seat of a car, my hands bound behind me with something rough that bit into my wrists. Rope, maybe. Or zip ties.I tried to sit up and scream, but there was tape across my mouth, muffling any sound.The confrontation with Laura flooded back and then the pain at the back of my head. She must have hit me.The car slowed, then stopped. I heard doors opening, footsteps.Then hands grabbed me, hauling me out of the vehicle. I struggled, fighting against the restraints, trying to scream through the tape, but it was useless.I got my first look at my surroundings, we were in front of an abandoned hous

    Jason's POV"Gentlemen, I believe we have ourselves a deal," I said, extending my hand across the conference table to Mr. Clifford, CEO of Oakview Industries.He shook it firmly, his face breaking into a genuine smile. "Primrose Acquisitions just became our most valued partner, Mr. Raine. We're looking forward to this collaboration.""As are we," I assured him.This was it. The deal that would establish Primrose as a major player not just in the country but across the world.After more handshakes and pleasantries, the Oakview team departed, leaving just Challan and me in the conference room."We did it," Challan said, breaking into a grin. "We actually bloody did it."I nodded with an even bigger grin on my face. "This changes everything.""You realize you could probably retire by thirty-five now, right?" Challan joked. "Join the ranks of obscenely wealthy men who play golf all day.""It wasn't just me," I said seriously. "This was both of our efforts. You, Mayowa, Maria, the entire t

    ALESSA’S POV The grand ballroom was full of workers moving around to make sure that everything was perfect. Because tonight was about more than just a party, it was about proving to everyone that JR Corps was stronger than ever. And it was about finally exposing Julien. I stood at the center of it all with my clipboard, checking items off my list. "Ms. James?" The event coordinator appeared at my elbow with her tablet. "The caterers are asking about the appetizer layout. Should they use the traditional circular pattern?" "Circular is fine," I said, not looking up from my checklist. "And make sure the champagne is chilled to exactly forty-two degrees.” "Got it." She scurried off, and I allowed myself a moment to breathe. My phone rang and I saw Lisa’s name on the screen. I answered immediately, putting it on loudspeaker. "Please tell me you're on your way," I said. "I'm literally ten minutes out," Lisa assured me. "I have your laptop with me. Did you bring the USB?
