The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 45: The Husband Who Came Back from the Dead
The gun pressed against Elena's head, and the man holding it called her his wife.Adrian had never looked more terrified.“Elena, don't move!”His voice came from somewhere across the darkness, but she couldn't see him. She couldn't see Daniel, Mensah, or either of the two little girls who had become the center of a nightmare she no longer understood.All she could feel was the cold metal against her temple.“Who are you?” she whispered.The man behind her chuckled.“You've asked me that question before.”“Show me your face.”“Would you recognize it?”The lights flickered.For one brief second, Elena saw a hand holding the gun. A pale scar crossed the knuckles. The wrist bore a silver bracelet, old and scratched, with three letters engraved on its surface.A.B.Then the lights went out again.Elena's heart slammed against her ribs.“Adrian?”“I'm here,” her husband answered.The stranger pressed the gun harder against her head.“No, sweetheart. The man you married is there.”He leaned
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 44: The Man Wearing My Husband's Face
“Because he isn't your husband.”The whisper came from behind Elena.She spun around so violently that one of the girls cried out.“Who said that?”Nobody answered.The lights remained dead. Somewhere inside the walls, machinery groaned as the security system continued locking down the east wing. Richard was laughing softly on the floor, and Adrian stood several feet away, staring at Elena as if she had just driven a knife into his chest.“Elena,” he said, “look at me.”She couldn't.Not because she believed the whisper.Because she was terrified that she might.Two little girls clung to her clothes. One was crying against her waist. The other kept glancing toward Adrian with an expression that didn't belong on a child's face.It was recognition.And fear.“Who told you that?” Elena demanded.The girl on her left shook her head.“I didn't say anything.”“Then who did?”The child pointed toward the darkness.A tiny red light blinked above the locked door.Then the speakers crackled.“I
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 43: Only One Can Be Saved
“Touch either of those girls, Richard, and I swear I'll kill you myself!”Elena's scream shook the room.Richard didn't even blink.He stood in the doorway with his gun raised, watching Elena hold one little girl against her side while the other reached for her with trembling hands. Two nearly identical faces. Two terrified pairs of eyes. Two children who believed Elena was their mother.And one man determined to make her choose.“You always make threats you cannot carry out,” Richard said calmly. “It's one of your most irritating qualities.”Elena moved in front of the girls.“Put the gun down.”“Which one do you want me to put down? The gun or the truth?”Adrian stepped beside her, his hands raised.“Richard, this is over. Mensah has already called for backup.”Richard laughed.“Detective Mensah is bleeding through his bandage, his father is a traitor, and this building is about to collapse. Do you honestly believe a few police officers can save you?”From the corridor, Mensah shout
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 42: The Daughter Who Vanished
The gunshot had barely faded when Elena realized the woman in the shadows had been telling the truth.Her daughter was gone.“LILY!”Elena threw herself through the doorway, ignoring the cracks spreading across the floor beneath her feet. Dust filled her lungs. The emergency lights flashed red, turning the hidden room into a nightmare of blood-colored shadows.The glass case had shattered.The hospital bracelet lay on the floor.And the woman who had claimed to be Elena's daughter was nowhere to be seen.Adrian caught Elena before she stumbled into a hole that had opened beside the wall.“Stop! The floor is collapsing!”“Let go of me!” Elena fought his grip. “She's in here!”“Elena, look at me!”She struck his chest with both fists.“You promised me we would save her!”Pain crossed his face.“I know.”“No, you don't know!” Her voice cracked. “You keep telling me you were following orders. You keep telling me you didn't know who the children were. But someone always pays for your obedi
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 41: The Child Who Knew Too Much
The gun was pointed at Adrian's heart, but the little girl was the one who made Elena scream.“Mommy, don't let him kill me!”The child clung to Richard Blackwood's leg, her small fingers twisting into his trousers. Her face was pale, her eyes swollen from crying, and a thin red mark circled her wrist.Elena knew that mark.She had seen it in her nightmares for years—a tiny bracelet cutting into the wrist of a baby she had once dreamed of holding.But Elena had never been allowed to become a mother.At least, that was what everyone had told her.“Put the gun down, Richard.” Elena stepped forward, ignoring Adrian's warning glance. “She's a child.”Richard smiled.“That's the problem with you, Elena. You see a child and forget that every child in this family has a price.”The old woman behind Elena made a strangled sound.“Liar.”Richard's smile vanished.For the first time since entering the underground chamber, he looked genuinely angry.“You should have stayed buried,” he told her.T
The Billionaire's Contract Bride Chapter 40: The Woman Richard Had Already Buried
Richard pulled the trigger, and Adrian threw himself between Elena and the bullet.The gunshot exploded through the corridor.Elena screamed as Adrian crashed into her, knocking them both against the wall. His wounded side struck the floor first, and pain twisted his face, but he kept his body over hers.For one terrible second, she thought he was dead.“Adrian!”He groaned.“I'm here.”Blood seeped through the bandage around his side.Elena pressed both hands against his chest, searching for another wound.“Where did the bullet hit you?”“It didn't.”“Then why are you bleeding?”“Because you keep asking questions while I'm trying to breathe.”A broken laugh escaped her, quickly turning into a sob.Then Detective Mensah fired.Richard ducked behind the doorway as the bullet struck the wall. Daniel seized the opportunity to wrench the knife from his hand, and the two men struggled against the corridor's metal railing.“Get Elena out of here!” Mensah shouted.Adrian pushed himself uprig
