The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 123
Elizabeth's point of view: Three days laterRichard handed Carlos over to the police with a plan—get Laura to confess on tape while they listened in. The setup was simple: Carlos had already called Laura earlier, demanding more money and threatening to expose her. That call was taped. He’d asked for an outrageous sum Richard knew she couldn’t raise, and halfway through, Richard walked in causing her to panic and suggest they met and discussed in person. “Mic check, camera check—go,” the detective ordered, his voice firm as Carlos sat in the old abandoned graveyard, the meeting point Laura had chosen. We all waited inside a van parked behind it, my pulse thundering in my ears.“Suspect arriving,” an officer murmured into his radio.On the monitor, Laura appeared, her face half-hidden under thick glasses and a wide hat. My heart clenched. I quickly texted Richard, Richard was with Lilly, Laura had told him that she needed to go visiting a friend who was sick. We watched in silence
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 122
Elizabeth’s Point of View: It had been a week, and I was still trying to pick myself up. I knew walking out of Richard’s life was my choice, but it was the hardest thing I had ever done—harder because he didn’t even try to stop me.“Are you satisfied with the presentation, ma’am? If you are, I’ll go ahead and book the venue,” I asked my biggest client yet—an actress who had hired me to plan her wedding.“Yes, Elizabeth, I am,” she said, rising to her feet. “Everything is perfect. I can’t wait.” She extended her hand, and I took it with a smile.“Thank you for trusting Lola’s,” I said, guiding her to the door. Business had been picking up lately, and luckily, it was the perfect distraction.“Emily, I’m heading out for lunch. Do you want to come?” I called out, slipping into my jacket. Silence. I frowned. “Emily?”No answer.I walked out to the reception—and froze.Richard was sitting there in the waiting room. Emily stood nearby, nervously making him coffee like she was serving royalt

Richard's point of view:As soon as the call ended, I took a deep breath, my mind going back to Elizabeth. At last, I had something to show her, prove that I believed and trusted her. I scrolled through my phone, thinking of calling her right away, but just as I was about to dial, the sharp crash of glass breaking echoed through the house.I rushed to the sound and found Laura on the floor, glass scattered everywhere, blood running down her leg.“Are you okay?” I asked, eyes scanning the mess before meeting hers.“I’m sorry,” she said quickly, her voice shaky. “I was trying to get Lily a glass of water. She usually wakes up at night for a glass.”I nodded, glancing again at her bleeding leg.“That’s okay, just be careful next time,” I said, about to leave when she stopped me.“Can you please help me?” she whispered, struggling to move.I turned, hesitant. The last thing I wanted was to get caught in something uncomfortable.“Fine,” I sighed, helping her to the couch before clearing th
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 20
Richard's point view: My heart dropped and my phone almost did too, so there was a burner, Elizabeth was right? Why did it feel like I wanted her to be wrong so badly. I walked out of Rachel's office calling Benjamin almost immediately. “You said you found the burner?” I asked.“Yes, sir. She hid it in the bathroom ceiling.”I shut my eyes, a sharp ache pressing behind them. Elizabeth’s words came rushing back, her fall in Laura's room, how I had thought she was losing it. God, I owed her an apology. A big one.“What did you find? Who has she been in contact with?” I asked, remembering how Elizabeth swore Laura had an accomplice, the one who pulled the trigger.“Nothing, sir. The phone looks brand new, like it’s never been used.”“That’s impossible,” I muttered, pacing. “If Elizabeth was right about the burner, then she must’ve been right about everything else.”“Sir?”" Laura is a smart girl, I am certain she is hiding something in that phone" I said pausing as my mind swirled, I n

Richard’s point of view:Elizabeth was right. How could I have even thought—for a second—that she would ever do such a thing? I didn’t deserve her. The thought tore at me as I paced the room, back and forth, my chest heavy, my heart aching. I was so disappointed in myself I couldn’t even run after her when she walked out.My head spun, trying to figure out what to do, how to fix this, how to make it right. There was only one way.I grabbed my phone and called Benjamin.“Ben, do you still work with Stacy, the investigator?” I asked the moment he picked up. No pleasantries. I couldn’t waste time.“Yes, sir.”“Good. Hire her. I need her to investigate what really happened to my daughter.”There was a long pause. I could hear him sigh through the phone.“Sir… I don’t advise that. The police are trying to close this case. If they find out we’re digging, they might reopen it—and I can’t guarantee Elizabeth’s safety if—”“Just do it,” I cut him off, my frustration bleeding through my voice.
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
