The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Boss
He led Lily around the bar to a dingy back room, pausing to exchange terse words and a complicated handshake with the hulking bouncer posted by the entrance. The big man grunted something that might have been "boss" before allowing them to pass. The cramped space on the other side looked like the kind of shadowy meet-up spot for backroom deals that you only saw in movies. A battered card table stood in the center, ringed by mismatched chairs occupied by an assortment of seedy-looking men. The air was thick with pipe smoke and the bitter tang of cheap liquor. Several pairs of narrowed eyes swiveled in their direction as James and Lily entered. Lily fought the urge to shrink back under the weight of those appraising, deeply distrustful stares. Instead, she lifted her chin and met their scrutiny head-on, unconsciously standing up a little straighter at James's side. If this ragtag group was expecting their notorious former leader to put on airs or play it arrogant, however, they wer
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Tones
Chapter 43 On the drive back from that shady meeting, James was pretty much silent the whole time, just staring straight ahead with a intense look on his face. Lily could practically see the gears turning behind those piercing eyes as he calculated his next moves. She figured it was better not to push him for details until he was ready to share. James clearly had a plan brewing for how to take down this Spike lunatic, and she trusted him to loop her in when the time was right instead of leaving her out of the loop. In the meantime, Lily tried her best to just be patient and keep her nerves under control, though that was easier said than done with the stakes so high. Every little bump or sound from outside the car had her heart leaping into her throat, fearing an ambush or attack. Spike seemed like the type of psycho who could strike at literally any moment. By the time they pulled back into the villa's underground garage, Lily felt like she'd aged about ten years. James must have
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Someone Is In The Villa
Chapter 44 Lily nodded seriously. "Got it. I'll stay put no matter what until you come get me." James held her gaze for another beat like he was sizing up how much he could really trust her to follow that order. At last, he gave a curt nod of acceptance. "Good girl." With that, he climbed out of the car, leaving Lily to let loose a shaky breath she hadn't found out she'd been maintaining. She watched through the tinted car windows as James strode away, shoulders squared and each inch the implementing figure she'd come to recognize so nicely. Once he disappeared from view, she allowed herself to slump back against the leather seat with a frustrated groan. Her body still hummed with lingering arousal from James's heated teasing, leaving her feeling antsy and unsettled. Part of her understood why he wanted to keep her safely tucked away while he made his moves. But the other part, the defiant rebel she hadn't even known lived inside her until recently, chafed at being sidelined yet
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Barely
Chapter 45 The heavy footsteps paused in the sudden silence, making Lily's heart pound even harder in tense anticipation. For a long, agonizing moment, nothing happened except the faint sound of harsh breathing from the intruders. "See anything outta place?" one of the gruff voices eventually spoke up again, sounding perplexed. "Nah, just looks like a regular walk-in closet to me." There was a disdainful snort. "Barely even big enough to fit a broom cupboard in this fancy-ass place, let alone some kinda panic room." Lily didn't dare move a muscle, lungs straining against the effort of holding perfectly still and silent as the men continued their judgemental sweeping of the area just beyond the hidden door. She could only pray the panic room's seamless camouflage held up under their scrutiny. "Yeah, you're probably right," the first voice allowed after another tense pause. "Waste of time looking too hard in here. C'mon, let's take a look at the rest of the upstairs before reportin
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Trapped
chapter 46The escape tunnel appeared to stretch on with no end in sight inside the pitch blackness, making it not possible for Lily to decide how far she'd traveled or if she was even heading in the proper direction anymore. Her lungs burned with exertion, every ragged breath feeling like shards of glass in her throat.She tried her best to move quickly yet carefully, hands skimming along the rough walls for guidance while avoiding any unseen obstacles. The last thing she needed was to take a wrong step and end up sprawled on the ground, injuring herself or the baby.The sounds of the assault against the villa still reached her even through the thick concrete - distant explosions and shouts echoing like the muffled rumblings of a coming storm. Each faint reverberation made Lily's heart stutter with a fresh spike of adrenaline, driving her stumbling footsteps onwards in blind desperation.At some point, her palm grazed across a metal rung set into the wall at hip-height, nearly making
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride My Hero
Lily's heart seized in her chest as she whipped around, eyes wide and disbelieving. There, not ten paces away, stood one of Spike's soldiers - a hulking brute straight out of a war movie, dressed head-to-toe in tactical gear with an assault rifle leveled directly at her face."Well, well...What do we have right here?" the person rumbled in a voice like gravel being churned. His mouth twisted into a predatory sneer under the masks as he raked his gaze over Lily from head to toe in a manner that made her skin move slowly.Two more gunmen materialized from the shadows at his call, weapons raised as they rapidly closed in to flank their apparent prize. Lily backpedaled instinctively, fingers splayed protectively over her swollen belly as if she could somehow shield her unborn child from the threat with her body alone."Please..." She hated the way her voice trembled, all bravado abandoning her in the face of such overwhelming odds. "Please, I'm pregnant, I-I don't want any trouble..."A n
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Baby Girl
Chapter 48Lily shivered as James pulled her flush against his rock-hard body. His free hand slid down to cup her lower back, fingers splaying possessively."You're trembling, baby girl," he murmured, voice like gravel. "Must've been terrifying, having those bastards corner you like that."Lily nodded, swallowing hard. Being cornered by Spike's goons had shaken her, but being in James' arms again helped calm her nerves. "I thought I was done for, until you showed up." She managed a tiny smile. "My hero."James snorted, the hard lines of his face softening briefly. "Get that Wonder Woman crap outta here. I'm the one who let things get so out of hand in the first place."His thumb traced the shallow graze on her cheek from the near miss, reminding her just how close she'd come to catching a bullet. Lily shivered again, leaning into his touch."Still, I'm just glad you found me when you did," she said quietly. "We were starting to cut it pretty dang close, huh?"His piercing eyes darkene
The Billionaire's Drunken Bride Spike
Chapter 49"Well, well...looks like the gang's all here."James didn't even flinch as the gruff voice rang out, accompanied by the unmistakable sound of multiple guns cocking. His arm tightened around Lily's waist, tucking her against his side.She tensed, free hand instinctively going to her belly as she took in the group of armed men fanning out to flank them. At the head of the pack was a broad-shouldered behemoth she recognized instantly - the scarred bruiser who'd terrorized her at the courthouse all those months ago."Rocco." James' tone was conversational, almost casual despite the wild disparity in firepower. "I can't say I'm surprised to see your ugly mug front and center for this shitshow. You always were Spike's dumbest attack dog."The goon's beefy face contorted in a sneer of rage, arm twitching like he wanted to just open fire then and there. But another voice cut through the tension before he could act."Now is that any way to speak to an old friend, Jimmy boy?" Another
