The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 74: Past Lives And Love
Henri left Elizabeth, having at last won her loyalty by promising to make their affair public. He was sure he had her—this was clear from the way her eyes shone with relief and excitement—though he couldn't get rid of the persistent feeling that she was hiding something from him. But he couldn't concentrate on that at the moment since the Gagnon merger was happening tomorrow and that required his full attention.As the private elevator chimed and the double doors opened, Henri stepped out. He froze in his tracks when he saw Marie sitting comfortably in his soft velvet armchair, a half-empty glass of his twenty-year-old single malt placed on the side table. The way she was there gave off a sense of intimate, domestic familiarity which made his teeth tingle."What are you doing here, Marie?" Henri asked, though his voice was surprisingly soft and had the dangerous cold of a man who had had his privacy invaded."I'm here to see you and to talk," Marie replied in a smooth voice, her eyes
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 73: The secret Pregnancy
Elizabeth looked at him, her lips opening a little as a result of true shock.It was a public gala, not a private late-night meeting in an empty office or a secret weekend trip to an unnamed villa, but rather an official and high-profile appearance together with him in front of the global press, his family, and his business associates.Was that it? Was that the way he was suggesting that their relationship should be made public?Henri... are you really serious? she whispered."He has never been more serious," he replied in a soft voice.Before she had managed to say another word—before she could convey the great wave of relief and hope surging in her chest—a severe and sudden wave of nausea swept over her stomach.The strong smell of the duck jus and the thick butter sauces suddenly struck her sense of smell with the force of a physical blow. She felt her stomach turn violently and her vision blurred.Elizabeth paled and covered her mouth with a hand as she suddenly stood up, the chai
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 72: Public Date
To have a short talk with the chauffeur, he moved away and pulled his shirt cuffs down. On the spotless driveway Elizabeth waited patiently, watching him.A cold breeze caused the palm leaves all around to rustle and Elizabeth shivered a bit, tightening her coat around herself. Her mind was working rapidly. She didn't think she could read him today. Was Henri merely playing out a long and cruel game of corporate and personal manipulation, or did he really care for her enough to stay by her if she told the truth? If she looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm carrying your child", would he hold her or would his corporate defence retreat once again?When Henri came back, he appeared completely unaware of the stream of questions bubbling behind her quiet eyes. He moved up beside her, putting his hand casually around the back of her, his long fingers spreading out comfortably over the small of her back. The contact was warm, possessive and electric, and then he led her up the broad
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 71: Deception or Devotion
Henri smiled, there for a moment a flicker of victory on his face. He moved to the right and pressed the hidden device which was concealed in the lined portion of the pleated silk wall. Quietly a small panel opened to show a cabinet that was illuminated and maintained a controlled temperature. In the cabinet was a bottle of vintage Dom Pérignon placed in polished silver, together with two crystal flutes.He opened the bottle, skillfully loosened the wire cage, and pulled the cork out with only a slight sound, merely a soft thump as the pressure escaped. He then filled both flutes with neat elegance, the pale golden liquid fizzing against the crystal.He held one of the glasses out to her and said, "Here."Elizabeth’s stomach at once became tightly knotted.Champagne.She looked at the bubbles rising to the surface. She wasn't going to drink alcohol—not at the moment, not since his child was growing inside her. But if she declined a toast without giving a reasonable reason, a man so h
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 70: A Day With A Billionaire
Elizabeth was all by herself in the deep, plush leather seat of the Maybach custom limousine and her fingers were tightly interwoven in her lap.He had telephoned her just forty minutes earlier and said that they should spend the day together.Like she used to, she had at once agreed and stepped out into the cool morning air without pausing for a single moment.She was at his disposal. It had once given her great pleasure, offering her a thrilling and intoxicating confirmation that, among all the people in his huge corporate empire, it was her name that he called upon when he wanted company. But on this occasion, the realization seemed less like a romantic situation and more like a chain.Elizabeth placed the palm of her hand firmly against her lower abdomen and felt the slight, invisible warmth underneath the silk of her blouse.A child.She needed to rest and lower your stress levels.How could she lower her stress levels when the father of the child she was going to have was Henri
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 69: Brothers Alliance
Silence settled over the table, heavy and dense with years of unsaid words. Between them lay a lifetime of competitive shadows—the constant pressure to earn the approval of a father who treated affection like a finite, currency-based asset."Father failed us," Henri continued, his voice steady, holding Sebastian’s cold gaze. "He pitted us against each other from the moment we were old enough to understand what a board of directors was. He thought creating a rivalry would make us stronger. It didn't. It just divided us. But I am not him, Sebastian. I refuse to let his mistakes dictate the rest of our lives."Sebastian took a measured sip of his drink, his eyes never leaving his brother. "You want an alliance.""I want a united front," Henri corrected. "We come together. We secure Gagnon Enterprises, neutralize Marie, and build something that actually lasts. Put an end to the silent rivalry. Fight side by side, not against each other."Sebastian lowered his glass, setting it back o
