“The value of this deal is $40 million. I currently have my signature on the pages. We have one year to fulfill this deal before we part ways. Once you have this money, you can go anywhere, but until then, you cannot tell anyone about it,” William told Monica in a flat voice.She, wearing a white bridal dress and bearing a heavy heart that was causing her the most anguish of her life, held the paper in her hand and muttered, “I understand; I too want my marriage to remain discreet." She let out a long breath and raised her teary eyes to William.William glanced over his shoulder at his guards. They were there to provide security till the marriage ended. William knew what he was about to undertake was a huge step for his life and future, but he had no choice.“I guarantee you that you will not be in any problems during this one year and that your life will be protected at all costs. However, you will never assert any rights over me for any reason; everything else you need to know is stated in the contract. Now it's time. I trust your actions do not violate the contract," William said this while staring straight into Monica's eyes, where her anguish was obvious but William had no reason to care.“Will you still be indifferent if I tell you one day that I am madly in love with you?"Monica said softly as if it was her heart rather than her voice that wanted to know if there was a place for her in William's heart.“You will eventually find yourself in despair, so try not to let it get any deeper. You already know the reason for this marriage, therefore, you shouldn't attach any emotional weight to this. But, you still have the opportunity to avoid this situation. Once we are married, you cannot do anything for a year, no matter how hard you hit the wall,” William spoke cautiously. Even though it was an urgent step, he was concerned about her feelings because he was unable to offer them back.“I guess I am a greedy person,” a dry chuckle left Monica's lips, continuing, "I have no desire to want to sabotage my makeup, so let's go,” Monica said with a soft smile then shifted her head to the marriage bureau, where they were ready to officially tie the knot. Indeed no priest or relatives came to witness, yet they would be lawfully husband and wife from now on.William took Monica's icy palm in his hand and started walking towards the marriage bureau.One month ago, Monica got a call from the man she was dying to talk to. A great part of her happiness vanished with him the day he left. She discovered how utterly, irrationally, and passionately she had fallen in love with him after losing him.For a while, she thought Ben knew who she was. He recalled those times together that had been the happiest and most loved times of their lives.But Ben was long gone; William was the one who called and asked her for a one-year marriage. She knew that accepting this was not the best decision she would ever make, but she harbored the hope that she could convince him that they were in love if she stayed with him.Monica was clear that Ben had a strong affection for her, even though neither of them acknowledged it. She sighed, regretting that she had not expressed her love for Ben when she had the opportunity; now the repercussions were that the same guy told her not to hang around on these sentiments since he could not reciprocate them.Monica smiled as she signed the marriage certificate, and William followed suit. After their nuptials, a man with a camera snapped their photos.“Would you two kindly hold each other by the waist? By this, I mean that she will put her hand on your chest and you will grip her waist while maintaining eye contact. This way you two appear more in love, you know," The cameraman said reluctantly because offering Mr.Mackenzie a suggestion required a great deal of strength. He did not know that he was required to take a photo of the famous William Mackenzie, who was known as a hungry lion in the country. Everywhere he went, he ruled.After being lost for seven years and presumed to have been murdered by his opponent, he returned one year ago and sparked a blazing sensation once more.The cameraman was trembling, worried about what may happen if William Mackenzie was not pleased with the photographs. However, his confidence was increased when he discovered that Mr. Mackenzie was willing to collaborate with his words. He then snapped a tonne of photos of them together, but for some reason, he thought that their marriage lacked the sweetness that usually existed in a union. However, since this man was unusual and the marriage unusual as well, the less he put his mind to it, the better off he would be.William wrapped his strong arms around Monica, resting them on her tiny waist, and enveloped her in the heady, yeasty aroma of Guinness and champagne. She looked at his face and saw that the man before her had changed, albeit the beautiful blue eyes remained the same."kiss!” The cameraman shouted when he realized the picture was lacking a kiss.With a fierce look, William addressed the cameraman, whose heart jumped up like a deer when it saw the Lion. He felt that taking a picture of them kissing would be good for them both, but he was unaware that this could put him in danger.“We are now husband and wife. He is asking what he considers to be reasonable. And it's only a kiss," Monica whispered in an attempt to dissuade William from frightening the man who was doing his job without knowing the truth about their marriage.When Monica told him they were husband and wife, William turned to face her and gave her a stern look. He was hesitant to kiss her, but for the sake of the picture, he gave in. Slowly lowering his head, he caught Monica's painted, soft lips and witnessed her shutting her eyes.After snapping their photos, the cameraman finally exhaled with peace and made the mental decision that he was never going to attend any shoot with Mr. Mackenzie.Monica made herself comfortable in a Royal Royce, and William sat next to her; they remained silent. While William fiddled with his phone, Monica glanced out the window at the cold Edinburgh street, which was both beautiful and lonely.“Sir, we have arrived!” the driver announced when the car halted in front of Mackenzie's mansion.★★★★ I would want to thank everyone who has read this book. Your support for my book is so overwhelming. I hope you love this book as much as I did. Although you can read this book as a stand-alone, I highly suggest reading "Mommy is Precious, my Billionaire Daddy." You will understand the extent of Monica and William's support for Jessica after reading that book. So, this is their happy ending. No more series will air. (The Mackenzie and Grey families live happy lives, full of love and laughter.) I'll be releasing a new book the first week of March. Once again, thank you. *I would really appreciate it if you gave the book a review and five stars on the front page. Hope to see you! New book alert: "One night stand with a Ruthless Mafia, he has a son." You will find this book in my profile.
1 day later ★★ William told the reporters that he did not consider Winston to be his father, nor did he consider his family to be his family, which was why he ejected them from the Makenzie Mansion, which he owned entirely. However, the reason was not the past William exposed about Winston, but rather that Winston was the one who liberated that boat on the water for Brian to escape with Monica to ensure he could injure William by harming Monica, allowing Winston to find the peace he sought. William would harshly punish anyone who intended to hurt his wife. As a result, Winston went to Elder Mackenzie's house because it was the only place he could stay. Mark had brought Jayla with him, who was devastated with sadness and suffering. The condition had dug such a deep pit in her heart, that she was unable to sob anymore. Brian's cruel tortures had left her daughter in critical condition in the hospital. She was given a drug by him that fully paralyzed her body and impacted her brain,
★★★★During dinner, there was a lot of noise in the castle. When they got home, the doctor gave everyone a thorough examination. After that, everyone went to their respective rooms for a long rest which their bodies required because they were all exhausted, including Danielle, who stayed up all night drinking strong coffee. Danielle took care of Cornell and baby Lucas, who slept soundly in his cradle because he had his mommy's handkerchief. Cornell had said that Lucas would never cry as long as he had something that belonged to his mother. She found that to be incredibly fascinating, and she did see it.Mr. Liam placed a cloth that belonged to Jessica next to Lucas and he did not cry, rather he had a sweet smile on his face and even responded to her words. Despite the fact that her mind was preoccupied with dread and tension, she nonetheless managed to survive the period thanks to Cornell and Lucas.The dining table was packed with buzzing folks while Lucas was sleeping in the roo
★★★★William pointed the gun towards Brian, who pulled Monica up on her feet with her hair before throwing his arm around her neck and placing a knife next to her throat as he screamed, "I will ensure that the knife goes through her throat as soon as you release the bullet. So, toss the weapon away!" Brian smirked, his tone relaxed, and there was no indication that he wanted to flee or speculate on anything else."Let go of her; I will spare your life, and your parents will also be able to escape such situations," William spoke in a chilly tone, his gaze fixed on Monica and the knife in her throat, which terrified him. He dreaded nothing, but seeing Monica in destitution was excruciating."I said throw the gun, bastard!" Brian bellowed with hateful eyes as if he was watching his sworn enemy in front of him; the individual who caused pain, shame everything, even took his love away."Alright!" William replied and tossed the gun far away from him, “Now, withdraw the knife from her. Y
★★★★ "Monica, there is no lock on the door! Would you mind trying to shatter the wall while I stand here and watch to see if anyone approaching the room? After that, I will try to break the wood and you will take my place. Aside from that, I have no idea how I would handle this circumstance," Jessica advised. Monica nodded to her, then turned to face the window and pushed the wood out as hard as she could. Even though the wood was a little old, it was still a little challenging for a woman to push. Monica was having trouble breaking it with her hand, therefore, she used the back of her arm to push the wood, which made a 'Crack!' sound. "SIGH!" Monica expelled a laborious breath since she was tired and hungry; as a result, even a simple chore exhausted her. Jessica raced over to her and began pushing the loosened wood, which still needed a little push to break. But they were both unable to, so Jessica responded, "Okay, we will push together on 3." "Now, one, two, and..." "And 3, my
★★★★ Brian supported his two hands on two long sticks which were already inside the room at the corner of the door, which demonstrated that Brian had already thought of everything for himself. He held his injured leg up in the air while walking with the help of those sticks as he led Jessica to meet the patient. The trepidation felt never-ending as if the more she walked with Brian the further the fear thrived. Jessica looked around and saw guys standing with rifles in front of that door, and just as Brian came to a halt, Jessica did as well. "OPEN THE DOOR!" Brian addressed his men in an authoritative tone as he looked sideways for Jessica, who was staring at her surroundings. Jessica fixed her gaze on the door as Brian's voice rose and she noticed his man holding the door open. Brian stepped inside first, so she didn't dilly-dally and hurried inside quickly, where she discovered Monica with her face on her knees as her legs crouched on her chest. In contrast, Monica knew Brian h
★★★★ "I am a nurse; I have been working as an intern for a week, but I seldom encounter difficulties," Jessica responded in a soft tone, portraying herself as a helpless girl so that Brian would believe she posed no threat to this area or to him. She had to be patient with her goal of finding Monica because any error may throw their strategy off track, and Brian, from what she gathered, would not mind shooting her and Monica if necessary. "What?!" The doctor was horrified that the hospital sent an intern with him instead of a skilled nurse, especially because he suggested that he required someone who was proficient in tending to the wound. "Why did not you tell me beforehand that you were not an experienced nurse?” The doctor lambasted Jessica, who had said absolutely nothing to him until now. "Dr. I apologize for it, but I expected you to ask me something, but you remained silent throughout the drive, and I couldn't have the guts to speak with you." Jessica expressed regret to the
★★★★ Jessica sat in the backseat as the Doctor drove the car to an unknown location with few lights visible from the woods. She wouldn't deny that her soul was seeping out in dread. Despite her preparation, there was concern that she was no longer capable of eliminating. There was little time left in the morning, but she didn't expect to obtain much sunshine because the weather was chilly and dismal. As they walked out the door, two armed guys approached and stated, "Before we go inside, we need to search you." "I am the doctor, and he knows me well!" the doctor grumbled, gritting his teeth. He had already taken so many risks, leaving aside the danger of being apprehended by the cops. Not only was he compelled to come here, but Brian also made threats to harm his family. "That doesn't mean we will ignore the given orders," one of them grumbled at the doctor before moving his gaze to Jessica, which immediately disgusted her, and she quickly said, "If there is no woman to search me,
★★★★“Brian asked his physician to come treat his leg over the phone. The location is on the outskirts of the city, not anywhere nearby. Well, In addition, I saw an old cottage near the forest from where the call has happened," Cornell spoke to William, who was momentarily at a loss for words, before approaching the couch and settling in next to him."How are you aware of it?” William asked, focusing his attention on the laptop where he noticed a red dot in a specific area. Though it was unclear what the location was, it appeared to be on the outskirts of town, and the forest was close by.“While traveling to Edinburgh, my mother and I learned more about Brian. And we came across that Brian met a specific doctor, with whom he typically had check-up appointments due to his rare illness. Though we aren't positive, my mother has some reservations that Brian would look for someone to get in touch with. I therefore hacked the doctor's phone number."Turning on the recording he saved fo
