Just like he’d been doing, Ryder continued to avoid Victoria.

Before, she had merely suspected it, but now she had total confirmation.

In the mornings when she came downstairs for breakfast, despite hearing his footsteps moving around the penthouse only minutes before, he would suddenly leave.

When she returned from EVANGELINE meetings and noticed the light beneath his office door, only for it to disappear the moment she reached the hallway.

Most of the time, he suddenly found his phone f

    “What?” Victoria stared at Sam, trying to understand what he had just said.Ryder had killed his mother? The accusation sounded so absurd that for a moment she wondered whether Sam was attempting to provoke her into losing control.“Your mother?” she repeated.Sam opened his mouth, but before he could answer, the door swung open.Julius hurried into the room, breathing hard. His eyes went straight to Victoria.“Victoria, the hospital just called. Ryder is awake!”Everything else disappeared.She was already moving before Julius had finished speaking. The chair scraped against the floor as she pushed away from the table, barely sparing Sam another glance.“Is he all right?” she asked, rushing past Julius.“He's conscious. They said you should come immediately.”Victoria didn't wait for another explanation. She hurried out of the room, her footsteps quick against the polished floor. Julius followed, calling after her as she headed for the elevator.Behind them, Sam began laughing again.

    Nothing, absolutely nothing at all was funny.But Sam was laughing like a maniac. His head tipped back at a weird angle, the veins on his neck bulging, and he continued to writhe with laughter.Victoria felt incredibly disturbed. But rather than walking out like she had intended, she spun on her feet and faced him.“What’s so funny?”That was when his laughter finally subsided, and he replied, “Everything. Every single bit of this is just giving me so much joy! To think that all it would take is a woman and a little bit of gas to kill Ryder.”Victoria slammed her fist on the table. “You didn’t kill Ryder. He’s alive.”“Barely,” Sam responded with a smirk. “After getting stabbed a few days ago, you think he’d survive the fire?”Victoria wanted to punch his teeth. But she knew she had to deal with this situation with caution. She needed to find out exactly what Sam’s motives were and just how long he had been planning whatever all of this was.She pulled out the chair opposite h

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 142 : Fight It

    Ryder could hear someone calling his name.At first, the voice seemed to come from a great distance, buried beneath the noise around him. He tried to make sense of it, but his thoughts were scattered, and every attempt to concentrate made his head ache.“Sir? Can you hear me?”He wanted to answer, but his mouth felt dry, and his throat burned each time he tried to breathe. There was an unpleasant taste in his mouth, something bitter that made him cough. The movement sent pain through his chest, and he struggled to draw another breath.“Ryder! Sir, stay with us.”He recognised the voice, though he couldn’t immediately remember who it belonged to.A pair of hands adjusted something around his face. He felt the cool rush of oxygen against his nose, followed by the pressure of fingers against his wrist. Someone was checking his pulse. Another voice spoke about his breathing, and he caught a few words about smoke inhalation.Smoke.The hotel.Victoria.His eyes opened, but the br

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 141 : What's Funny?

    Rich people always had some secret room where they threw people in for questioning.And Victoria had always found that odd.But now, as some of Ryder’s bodyguards hurled Sam into one of the big rooms in Ryder’s penthouse, Victoria legitimately wished it was a prison cell instead.Sam stumbled forward as the bodyguards released him. He managed to steady himself before turning around, his face showing obvious displeasure.His hands were no longer free. Two of Ryder’s men had restrained him during the journey from the hospital, and another stood near the door, making it clear that he wasn’t going anywhere.Victoria entered behind them, still wearing the clothes she had escaped the hotel in. She had been offered an opportunity to clean up at the penthouse, but she had insisted on questioning Sam first.She needed answers.More importantly, she needed to understand why someone who had worked beside Ryder for years would go as far as attempting to kill him.“Sit down,” she instructe

    Victoria quickened her pace as she followed the man down the hallway.Sam was walking fast, occasionally looking over his shoulder to see whether she was still behind him. He had clearly recognised her, and the fact that he was trying to get away only made her more certain that she had seen the right person.“Sam!” she called again.He ignored her and turned into another corridor.Victoria hurried after him, nearly slipping as she rounded the corner. Her legs were still aching from everything that had happened at the hotel, and her breathing had not completely returned to normal. She had inhaled too much smoke, and every attempt to run made her throat hurt, but she refused to slow down.She couldn't let him leave.Sam had been working beside Ryder for years. He had been trusted with important responsibilities, had access to the company, and had been close enough to know Ryder's movements. Victoria still found it difficult to understand how someone who had spent so much time pretending

  • The Billionaire's Marriage Investement    Chapter 139 : Getting Away

    Victoria had never been particularly religious.She had always believed that there were things people could control and things they couldn’t, and she had never been one to turn to prayer whenever life became difficult. But now that Ryder had been rushed to the hospital theatre for the second time within the same month, she clasped her hands tightly and screwed her eyes shut.“Please, God. Please let him be okay.”She didn’t know how many times she had repeated those words since the ambulance brought them to the hospital. She had followed the medical team through the emergency entrance, refusing to let go of Ryder’s hand until they had to separate them to prepare him for surgery. One of the nurses had tried to explain his condition, but Victoria had barely understood anything beyond the fact that he needed immediate attention.Now she sat outside the theatre, unable to do anything but wait.Her clothes were still covered in dust from the hotel, and there were dark marks of soot al
