The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 111 : Kidnapping
Victoria had been waiting outside the board meeting room, constantly glancing through the glass door to see what was happening.It was a bit tinted, but she could still make out everyone’s sitting position and see the occasional conversation exchange across the table. She couldn’t hear what they were saying, which somehow made the waiting worse. Every time someone moved, Victoria found herself trying to read their expression and guess what had just been said.She had been doing that for several minutes now.“Has he gotten to the main part? He’s been in there for a while...” she muttered.She was worried partly because Ryder had strictly hidden what case he wanted to raise against Rocco. He had told her that he had three cases prepared, but he had refused to tell her what the third one was. Every time she asked, he had simply given her that irritatingly calm look of his and told her she would find out when everyone else did.And also because now he was her husband for real, so o

Rocco’s eyes scanned the room until they clashed with Ryder’s.His gaze was icy cold, but his mouth stretched into his fake business smile as he drew all attention to him.“Why is everywhere as silent as a graveyard? Don’t we have a meeting to start?” He asked.“Guess it’s because someone’s career is about to die here today.” Julius muttered, having appeared out of nowhere.“What are you doing here?” Ryder asked his friend.“Have you forgotten I am a shareholder to Tecna?”“Yes. But you never attended board meetings.”Julius stretched out a hand and exaggeratedly patted Ryder’s back. “Well today I am body. Someone’s gotta support my homeboy.”“Eww.” Ryder wriggled out of his hold, but there was a smile on his face as he took his seat.Without even hesitating, he sat in his usual seat, which was by Rocco’s right hand. Since Rita was absent, there was a seat available for Julius.Rocco watched him for a moment before turning his attention to the rest of the board. There were n

A week later, Ryder Lake walked into Tecna like nothing had happened.That was the first thing everyone noticed.He didn't look like a man who had spent days in a hospital bed after being unconscious. He didn't move carefully, and there was no trace of weakness in his posture as he walked through the main entrance with Victoria beside him.His dark suit was perfectly fitted, his tie was neatly arranged, and his expression carried the same calm confidence that had become so familiar to everyone who worked for him.If anyone had walked into the building that morning without knowing what had happened over the past few weeks, they would have assumed Ryder had simply returned from an ordinary business trip.But nobody in Tecna believed that.The entire building knew.Ryder had filed a formal complaint against Rocco Lake.His father.The chairman of Tecna.And somehow, that single fact had changed the atmosphere of the entire company.Conversations that had once happened openly i

Without another word, his lips crashed into hers.And for the first time that night, Ryder stopped thinking about Sam.The kiss began with all the emotion he had been holding inside for hours, but it didn’t remain rushed for long. The moment Victoria responded, something in him seemed to settle. His hand moved carefully to the side of her face, his fingers resting against her cheek as he kissed her again, slower this time, as though he had suddenly become aware of exactly who he was holding.Victoria’s hands found his shoulders, her fingers curling lightly into the fabric of his shirt. She could feel the steady rise and fall of his breathing beneath her palms, and the closeness between them made it difficult to remember what they had been talking about only moments ago.Ryder had spent the entire evening looking like a man trying to hold himself together.Now he was kissing her as though she were the one place where he didn’t have to.Victoria’s heart beat faster as she tilt
The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 107 : Stop Thinking
“What truth?” Victoria asked again.Ryder remained silent for several seconds.He could have given her a simple answer. He could have told her that Sam had betrayed him and left it at that, because technically, that was all she needed to know.But Victoria had never been someone who accepted half-truths easily.And perhaps, after sixteen years of keeping everything inside, Ryder was finally tired of carrying the entire weight of it alone.He leaned forward, resting his forearms against his thighs as he stared at the floor.“When the rumour about our engagement first leaked, I had my suspicions.”Victoria listened carefully. “About Sam?” she asked.Ryder looked at her. “Yes.”She remained quiet, allowing him to continue.“Sam was the one who told me that the information had been traced back to your former apartment. He said he’d looked into it because he knew I would want to know where the leak had originated.”Victoria’s brows drew together. “So you believed him?”“At firs
The Billionaire's Marriage Investement Chapter 106 : The Assistant
Sixteen years ago.At nineteen, Ryder Lake had already learned that power rarely came with choices.The study in the Lake mansion was large enough to make most people feel small. Dark shelves lined the walls from floor to ceiling, filled with books that looked expensive and unread. The heavy curtains blocked most of the afternoon sun, and the room carried the faint scent of polished wood and old money.Ryder stood by the window, his hands tucked into his pockets, while his father sat behind the desk.Rocco Lake had a way of speaking that made every decision sound final long before anyone else could respond.“You’ll be engaged to Serena Bannerman.”Ryder remained silent for a few seconds.Then he turned.“I wasn’t aware this was a discussion.”“It isn’t,” Rocco replied calmly. “The Bannermans are important allies. The marriage benefits both families.”Ryder stared at him.At nineteen, he had already learned something about his father. Rocco never spoke about people as people
