The four days in Mexico had been relaxing.

It was just the break she needed. Away from all the chaos, and her work on EVANGELINE.

But at night, was were the real stress began.

On the fourth night, to be precise.

Victoria stood in front of the bathroom mirror, slowly brushing through the ends of her damp hair.

She had changed into a loose lavender satin nightdress that reached just below her knees. It was quire revealing. She had packed it without a second thought because she had assume

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 121 : Nothing Else

    Ryder drove faster than he normally would, his eyes fixed on the road ahead as Serena's message remained open on the passenger seat beside him.He had read the address several times since leaving Tecna, hoping he might find something useful in it, but there was nothing beyond the location she had sent. No explanation, no further instructions, and certainly no assurance that Victoria was unharmed.He had tried calling Serena again, but she hadn't answered.The thought of Victoria being somewhere with that woman, tied up and possibly injured, made it difficult for him to concentrate on anything else. He knew Serena well enough to understand that she was capable of doing something reckless when she didn't get what she wanted. Her obsession with him had gone on for years, and every attempt he had made to put an end to it had only seemed to make her more determined.But Victoria had done nothing to deserve this.She had been dragged into a situation that had nothing to do with her, al

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 120 : For The First Time

    Victoria held her breath, waiting for one of Serena’s men to come barging in and catch her in the act of finding a way to escape.She remained still for several seconds, listening carefully for footsteps outside the door. Her arms were still tied behind her back, and the ropes around her ankles made even the smallest movement difficult. The last thing she wanted was to draw attention to herself again, especially after the noise she had made while trying to climb onto the platform earlier.Nothing happened.No footsteps approached the door, and nobody came to investigate the crash.Victoria released the breath she had been holding, allowing herself a moment to recover before continuing her attempt. Perhaps Serena’s men had heard the noise but decided it was nothing worth checking. Or perhaps they were too busy doing whatever Serena had ordered them to do.Whatever the reason, she wasn’t going to waste the opportunity.She had no idea how long she had before someone returned, and

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 119 : Oh No

    Serena lowered her phone and looked at the message she had just sent Ryder, a satisfied smirk spreading across her face. She could already imagine his reaction when he read the location. Ryder Lake, the man who had rejected her countless times and humiliated her by choosing another woman, would finally have to come to her on her terms.She glanced down at Victoria, who was still on the floor with her hands tied behind her back. The bruises on her face had become more visible, and a few strands of hair had fallen across her forehead. Despite everything Serena had done to her, Victoria continued to look at her with open defiance, refusing to give her the satisfaction of seeing her cry.“Take her to the back,” Serena instructed, turning toward the two men standing near the door. “I don’t want her sitting here when Ryder arrives.”The men approached Victoria and grabbed her by the arms, pulling her up from the floor. She winced as they dragged her forward, her tied hands making i

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 118 : Don't Keep Me

    Serena didn’t give Ryder any time to reply. She immediately ended the call.“Serena!” Ryder shouted, pulling the phone away from his ear to stare at the screen.The call had ended.He tried calling her back, but she didn’t answer. He called again, only to receive the same result, and his frustration grew with every passing second. Victoria was with Serena, the same woman who had spent months making it clear that she would do anything to get him back. If she had gone as far as kidnapping his wife, Ryder couldn't afford to waste another minute.He shoved his phone into his pocket and hurried toward the boardroom exit.The meeting had barely concluded, and several board members were still gathered around the table, discussing the shocking arrest of Rocco Lake. The moment Ryder appeared at the door, their conversations stopped. Some of them had questions about what would happen to Tecna now that its chairman had been taken away in handcuffs, while others wanted to know what Ryder intended

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 117 : I Want You

    Ryder watched with satisfaction as the police dragged Rocco out of the boardroom.His father continued protesting, demanding that the officers release him and threatening to make them regret the day they had decided to lay their hands on him. None of it made any difference. The officers had their orders, and they showed no intention of allowing Rocco to use his position to escape the consequences of his actions.Ryder remained beside the table, his hands resting in his trouser pockets as he watched the scene unfold.For years, Rocco had made other people pay for his mistakes. He had manipulated situations to suit himself, destroyed anyone who threatened his position, and convinced himself that his wealth gave him the right to control the lives of those around him. Even Ryder had spent years dealing with the consequences of his father’s decisions, from the forced engagement to Serena to the constant attempts to control his future.Now, Rocco was finally facing a problem he couldn’t

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 116 : Under Arrest

    Back at Tecna, Ryder was still presenting his case against Rocco.Rocco stuttered out, “H-how did you get this?”Ryder smirked as he saw the shaken expression on his father’s face.He folded his arms and said, “Where I got it from shouldn’t be your concern. Your concern should be what’s going to happen to you.”Hearing his words, Rocco tried to school his features and recover from his slip-up. “This... this proves nothing.”But it was already too late for blatant denial. Everyone had seen the fear on his face in that split second, and they had all heard his question. It was difficult to believe that a man who had spent the entire meeting dismissing Ryder’s accusations could be so disturbed by a video whose contents he supposedly knew nothing about.Mr. Bannerman leaned forward, looking from the screen to Rocco. “What exactly are we watching? Ryder, if you have evidence, present it properly instead of making us guess what you're trying to prove.”“That's precisely what I'm doing,” Ryde
