The Billionaire's Island Bargain Chapter 36: I Became a Murderer
Emily POVI was so happy that I kept holding onto Cade until someone walking in jolted me back to reality.I pulled out of his arms and saw Isabel standing in the doorway, staring at us with pure anger.“Just what is going on here? And who are these people in my house?” she demanded as she stormed toward us.“Mind the way you speak, Isabel,” Cade said, still holding me protectively.“Why should I? I already have to cope with seeing your damn wife here every day, and now I have to deal with her friends too?” she snapped, glaring at all of us.“Will you shut up, Isabel!” Cade yelled, but she didn’t stop.“I hate you all — most especially the two of you. Your friend is nothing but a whore who stole my fiancé. She knew he was mine, yet she stole him from me!” Isabel shrieked.Cade let go of me and dragged Isabel out of the house.“Who was that?” Gracie asked, wide-eyed.“That’s Isabel, Cade’s stepsister,” I replied.“Is this what you have to go through every day?” Michael asked, concerned
The Billionaire's Island Bargain Chapter 35: The Calm Before the Storm
Emily POVI woke up to a soft sound at the door. It could only be Cade.I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. After what I had overheard outside earlier, he had taken his time returning. I had hoped he wouldn’t come back to the room, but of course he did.I lay still on the bed, keeping up the pretense as I heard him moving around the room. I hoped he would leave again, like he had been doing lately, but I didn’t hear the door open.Why isn’t he leaving? I thought, continuing to feign sleep.Then I felt him pull the covers over me and slip into the bed beside me.Is he really going to sleep in the same bed as me? Anger flared inside me. I would have gotten up, but it would ruin the act. He must think I’m asleep, so I stayed quiet.“Emily,” he called softly.I kept pretending. He was quiet for a moment, then called my name again.“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “Sorry for being a jerk. Sorry for pushing you away when I love you too… but I couldn’t accept your love, knowing th
The Billionaire's Island Bargain Chapter 34: A Surprise They Won't Escape
Flashback (Ten Years Ago)The car stopped in front of a grand mansion. A teenage girl dressed in black stepped out, clutching a picture of her late father, followed by a woman in her fifties.“Where are we, Mom?” the young girl asked.“We’re at your uncle’s house — your father’s brother. This island is called Cain Island,” her mother replied.“But why did we have to come here?” the girl asked.“We had no choice. You know we have nowhere else to go. Your father said we should come to his brother and ask for help. He will surely help us,” her mother said.Together, they walked toward the imposing house, only to stop when a man came out to meet them. He looked surprised, as if he hadn’t been expecting them.“Hello, Christopher,” her mother greeted.“Why are you here?” Christopher asked coldly.“You must have heard that my husband died. So we’ve come for your help,” she said.“James told us we could come to you and that you would help us,” she added, staring at him.Rachael could tell he
The Billionaire's Island Bargain Chapter 33: Your Deceit Hurts the Most
Cade POV“You can’t sleep either?” I was startled when Stephanie came up behind me on the balcony.I had been so lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t heard her approach.“I can’t. You can’t sleep either?” I asked.“No. John called me,” she said.“Your latest boyfriend?” I asked.“Yes. He’s asking me to come back. He says he misses me,” she replied.“So are you going to him? You know he doesn’t take you seriously. You should just break up with him,” I said.“And not try to make something work between us? No, Cade. If I’m going to leave him someday, I want to know that I gave our relationship a real chance,” she said wistfully.“How I envy you,” I said softly.“Why? Because of Emily?” she asked.“If everything could just go as I planned, it would all be great,” I murmured.“Why do you say that? You still haven’t told her, right?” she asked, lightly hitting me on the back.“I didn’t get the chance, okay? And besides, she wants me to stay away from her,” I said. She hit my head again.“Don’t
The Billionaire's Island Bargain Chapter 32: Please Don't Hurt Me
Emily POV“Tell me! What dream were you having?” Cade persisted, refusing to drop the subject.“It’s not that important. I don’t remember it myself,” I said quickly, avoiding his gaze.“So you calling my name in your dream means nothing?” he asked, a flicker of hurt crossing his face.I was about to respond when the door opened. Stephanie walked in holding a bouquet of flowers. Seeing her here made anger flare inside me. Cade had looked so worried about me, yet he had brought his mistress to the hospital.“How are you, Emily? When I heard from the nurse that you were awake, I decided to come see you,” she said.“You didn’t have to. Cade has already seen me, and I’m sure he’ll relay the message when he goes to you,” I replied coolly.“Whether you believe me or not, I really do care about what happened to you,” she said, placing the flowers on the table.“Please leave,” I said.“But I—”“Please leave, Stephanie,” Cade said firmly.I looked at him in surprise as Stephanie left the room.
The Billionaire's Island Bargain Chapter 31: What Dream Were You Having?
Cade POV“I think it’s Emily — and she’s hurt!” Stephanie yelled as David rushed in carrying Emily’s unconscious body.I ran downstairs immediately. David tried to move past me with her, but I stepped in front of him.“What happened to her?” Stephanie asked, her voice shaky.“We don’t have time for questions. Call the doctor now!” David snapped. Stephanie quickly sprang into action.I stood frozen, staring at Emily’s bloody face. In that moment, I knew it would be impossible to send her away. I couldn’t imagine living without her anymore.I love her. I had convinced myself that love was never meant for me, that I was immune to it after what happened years ago. But I had fallen — hard. I didn’t want to live without her. I couldn’t.“Cade! Snap out of it!” David’s shout pulled me back to reality.“Get the car. We can’t wait for the doctor or an ambulance. She’s losing too much blood,” David said urgently.“You get it. I need to stay with my wife,” I replied, pushing past him. I knelt be
