The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 118
Elizabeth’s point of view:Three months later:Richard was right—I did need a lawyer. Laura's plan was deeper than I thought, and the evidence against me was solid. She managed to make it look like I kidnapped Lilly and shot my accomplice to keep it a secret. My fingerprint and DNA were everywhere.It took months of going to court and even a night in jail, but somehow Richard’s lawyer, Benjamin, had managed to get the case against me thrown out. He made the evidence look circumstantial—saying I was only there to save Lily after receiving a call from the kidnappers, that my fingerprint was on the gun because I’d grabbed it and accidentally fired in self-defense. Richard and Benjamin even went as far as creating a fake ransom call and backdating it to the day it happened. I had no idea how they pulled it off, but I guess that was the perk of being engaged to the best software engineer in the world.Now I was free. The police were preparing to close the case due to lack of any other evid

Elizabeth's point of view:My heart skipped, and I immediately did what I was told. My chest rose and fell fast, my mind swirling, my hands trembling as I lifted them in the air. The officer moved closer, his face stern, the cold metal cuffs clutched in his hand.“Ma’am, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Liliana Richard. Anything you say or do…” he began to recite, as he grabbed my wrist and started wrapping the cuffs around it.The snap of the metal made my pulse race harder, but just as he was about to lock it, Richard’s voice cut through.“Excuse me—what do you think you’re doing?”He rushed over, standing right beside me, his tall frame casting a shadow over both me and the officer.“Sir, we got a call from a witness telling us they saw Ms. James Kidnapped your daughter and bring her here" the police said. "The tip also told us that she was planning to move to a different location we didn't act fast" the officer explained, still holding onto my wrist.“Call?” Richard’s

Richard’s Point of View:"Please hold on, sir, while I talk to the morgue technician," the officer said, pointing to a chair in the waiting area at the police station.I nodded and sat down, my legs tapping against the floor without me thinking about it. My mind was moving faster than my body, looping through the same thoughts. I told myself not to let it wander, but it kept drifting there anyway."Poor Laura," I muttered under my breath. If my heart felt this heavy, I could only imagine hers — three years raising our daughter, only to lose her like this.Then I thought of Elizabeth. This would crush her too. The trauma she was already going through, I could almost see her spiraling.I glanced at the clock. It felt like I’d been sitting there for hours. Did the detective fall asleep? Why was he taking so long?The more minutes passed, the harder it was to stop my mind from going places. I thought about what it would mean losing Lily again. The thought made my chest tighten.Suddenly m

Elizabeth's Point of view: “Move and I shoot,” the man said, pressing the barrel harder against my head.My heart skipped, Beads of sweat slid down my temple.He extended his hand toward me. “The phone.”I swallowed, nodding slowly.“Liz? What’s going on? Liz?” Vivian’s voice panicked in my ear.I pulled the phone away, hesitating for half a second before handing it to him. He glanced at it once, then threw it to the floor and crushed it under his boot. The crack of breaking plastic and glass made me flinch. Pieces scattered across the dusty ground.Before I could move, he grabbed my arms, yanking me to my feet.“Don’t try anything funny,” he said, cocking the gun for me to hear. “Move.”I did exactly what he said, my legs stiff and shaky. He pushed me forward, guiding me into the building.Inside, Laura was standing right in the middle of what looked like a living room — the smell of coffee in the air, curtains drawn, furniture neat. A satisfied smile curved on her lips.“You fell

Elizabeth's Point of view:“What!” My heart stopped. My chest tightened, and hot tears began to slip down my cheeks, faster than I could wipe them away."It can't be" I muttered as I shot to my feet, grabbing my robe,following Richard as he began walking out of the room. My legs felt shaky, but I didn’t slow down, keeping my eyes on his back as he walked quickly down the hallway. He didn’t even glance at me — he went straight to Laura’s door and pushed it open.I stopped by the door, leaning by the wall, my heart pounding, my mind racing.“The police found something…” I heard Richard say and Laura broke down, her crying cut through the air “It can’t be… not my Lily! Not my baby!”Her voice cracked, the sound so raw it made my throat ache. She sobbed and wailed like the world had ended, and for a moment, I almost believed her. Would she really let her daughter die?Richard murmured something I couldn’t make out — gentle words meant to calm her. After a minute, the sound of her sobs
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 113
Elizabeth’s point of viewThree days laterIt had been three days. Three whole days — and still no ransom call, no message, no word from the kidnappers. It was driving me crazy. It was driving all of us crazy.Richard had managed to trace the getaway van, but by the time they got there, it was nothing but a burnt shell, abandoned in the middle of nowhere. No fingerprints, no plates, nothing to hold onto.My suspicions about Laura were stronger than ever. The more I pieced things together, the more it made sense — why she would do it, how Lily’s kidnapping had somehow gotten her closer to Richard. They were suddenly a team. Visiting the station together. Standing side by side at press conferences, where she faked tears, begging the kidnappers to “please return my daughter” and promising they would “pay any price.”And Richard… Richard felt the need to be there for her. To console her. Every time I tried to raise a concern, I sounded like the selfish, cold-hearted woman who didn’t care
