29. The Past
CENRIC
“You have to promise me, Sergeant Wolff, that you will give this to my daughter.” She was clutching my uniform. Her face was so pale and sweaty, but I could see her beauty had aged in her. Her blue eyes were glassy.
“No, Dr. Arisov, you will give it to her as soon as we get out of this hell.” I ducked my head, bullets flying everywhere. The old single school building was already filled with bullets hole and the only thing that covered us from those militants.
She dragged her breathing. “You know I’m a medical doctor, right? I know my condition. Can I call you—what’s your first name, honey?”
“Cenric, doc.”
“Nice name.” She held her lower abdomen, where she got shot a few minutes ago. It didn’t damage her artery, but she was bleeding so fast. Our reinforcement would reach us in ten. I was afraid she wouldn’t make it.
“Mom gave me the name.” I f

SADIE “Nah. I’m not a fan of raw seafood.” I shook my head as I watched him in surprise. “Anything raw. I just don’t like it, except for fruits and vegetables. I don’t like fish in the Sushi, and I don’t like that one you’re eating.” “Who doesn’t like oysters?” He looked amused. I raised my hand. “Me?” “Why didn’t you say so?” “This dinner is not just all about me, Cenric.” “I guess this is a part of knowing each other.” “Exactly.” “I like any kinds of shellfish, especially clams. I love one in particular. Can’t get over it,” he whispered the last sentence to me. I squeezed my thighs under the table as I imagined what he meant to say. “Oh, what kind is that?” I lifted the wine to my lips, and he just noticed my hand was shaking. “What if we ditch this dinner and we go somewhere else?” He held my hand as I placed the glass on the table. “Are you sure?” “Yeah. Unless you wann

CENRIC“Are you fucking insane?” Beck bellowed. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I just told you he became distrustful and paranoid since you hired Devin. He thought you were one of the moles in his organization. And here you are planning on meeting that son of a bitch!”“He’d be more suspicious if I won’t meet him. And I know I can depend on you, and you’ll watch my six, right?”His nose flared as his face flushed in anger. “Since when I didn’t, asshole? You’re such a pain in my fucking ass.”“Then that sounds like a plan.”“Damn it, Cenric. I have already lost two of my brothers. Don’t fucking make it three. Is it really worth it?”I looked at him right into his dark eyes. “I’m not doing this for what happened to Doctor Yelena or for her. I need to end this. I’m doing this for our brothers and myself. And I know I can do something right so that they didn’t die in vain, and we are going to help save many lives. You know that.”“And you’ll die in the end, instead. That’s so fuckin
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 32. Drunk Wollf
SADIECenric had never been late. I cooked dinner earlier and thought he’d be here like he always did. It was almost one, and he hadn’t come home—he knew that we had a dinner plan tonight. Something was not right.I gave Devin an off today to visit his family, so he had no use to me. I called Linden and Beck. None of them ever picked up.I started scrolling my contacts when the door flew open, and I almost dropped the phone in my hand.“Oh, my God!” My gaze flew to my husband. Beck and Linden literally dragged him in my direction. “What the hell is going on? I was about to call Cas when you two didn’t pick up. Take him up.”“No, my dallen. Offs,” he slurred his words.“Is he drunk? Since when did he get this shit-faced?” I asked again since the two somehow turned deaf.“Babes.” He wanted to throw himself at me. Beck and Linden managed to grab him on both arms.“Cenric, no. In bed, and we’ll talk about this in the morning when you’re sober.” I propped my hands on my hips, blowing a brea
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 33. Proud Husband
CENRIC I woke up with a hammering headache and sore muscles, and I was in the clothes yesterday. The memories of last night were coming back in bits and pieces. I remembered getting drunk and cursing the shit out of Peters. I didn’t see that coming—too late to realize that I should have thought the company name well—too caught up in impressing my woman. “Fuck,” I swore under my breath as I got up from the couch, but my head was killing me. Then the door swung open. I didn’t have to look who just entered based on the smell and the feelings I got when Sadie was closer. Shit. Our dinner plan. “This might help with your headache.” Her tone was harsh. Who wouldn’t when I literally bailed out our dinner. “Babe.” “Morning, drunkass.” She placed down the bottle of painkillers and a glass of water. “I’m sorry about last night.” I was still pressing my temple, and it didn’t help when I could feel her
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 34. Apology in Bed
SADIE “You’re the strongest woman I know. Don’t ever belittle yourself.” He was licking and kissing my neck down to my collar bone and also kept on talking. “We’ll talk, or we’ll fuck. You choose, but we can’t do both.” I was already naked and wet underneath him. My body was on fire. I was rocking my hips against him, rectifying the ache in my clit. And he just kept talking to tease me until I begged him to fuck me. That’s not gonna happen. He shook on top of me. “It’s my way of apologizing.” I blew an exasperating breath, cupped his face, and forced him to look at me. “I don’t want your apology. What you did was amazing, and that speech you did, damn
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 35. Wild Side of Sadie
CENRIC “Hi.” “Hello?” I’d been watching her since she walked into the launching of the game. She was wearing a blue back slit strapless mini dress hugging her hourglass figure. Since then, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She had this strong aura. Her blue eyes stood out aside from her gorgeous face. Her shapely legs and pert ass, my dick just twitched in my pants. And those tits alone. Damn. “I think I know you from somewhere. Have we met before?” She rolled her eyes. “Really? What a shitty pickup line you got there, Wollf. You may be a billionaire, but you suck at it. I guess most women don’t even care, right? As long as you have deeper than the Challenger Deep pocket.” She sipped her bubbles, studying me from head to toe. I chuckled in amusement. “I guess I get used to women who are throwing themselves to me. I don’t need to use pickup lines anymore. It’s so unfortunate that my pickup lines don’t work with you.” Sh
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 36. Calls
SADIE “Can I ask a favor?” Devin looked at me through the rearview mirror. “Sure?” “Sure? You mean you’re not sure?” I asked in confusion. “Well, it depends. If it involves asking permission from your husband or not.” I sighed in dismay as I looked outside the window. “Never mind.” “Come on. Give it a try.” “I wanna spend some time with Zhuri before I start working. Just Zhuri and me walking around in the park, shopping in the mall, or having a cup of coffee in a cafe. Just for a day. Is it too much to ask? I’m not a president’s daughter, for God’s sake.” “I can be persuasive. I’ll give him a call.” “No!” I gripped his shoulder before he could dial Cenric’s number. “Don’t do that. He’s gonna give me a lecture and tell me I told you not to blah blah blah.” “Just trust me, okay?” I looked at him in the eye before he focused back on the road. “Fine.” As if Cenric was waiting for
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 37. Trust Your Instinct
CENRIC “What the fuck is going on?” “Just come home if someone could cover you.” Linden’s voice over the phone sounded urgent, and he wouldn’t call unless there was a life-and-death situation. So I had to make my trip short? “Yeah. Cas can do that. Why?” Cas looked at me as he heard his name. “What’s wrong?” “About to find out. I need to take the jet home. You okay to charter or fly commercial?” “I’m not the billionaire, of course.” He shrugged. “But the people who are excited to see you will be damn disappointed.” “Sorry, bro. You know what to do, and you’re charming than me.” “They still want to meet the hero turned billionaire, but sure. Just give me an update of whatever is going on back home.” “I will, and you too. Call me as soon as it’s over.” “Will do. Take care.” *** Beck already informed the pilot of the change of flight. “Lucky day. You’re going back home. Linden di
