The Merciless Billionaire's Contract Marriage Chapter 128: Banned For No Reason
Annabelle was my only partner in crime when it came to going out, since our other friends, Sandy and Annabelle's younger sister Aurora, were new mothers. They were more interested in taking naps and talking about breastfeeding than drinking at a bar.Annabelle also owned Madame Mayhem, a club downtown known for its wild reputation, and she always enjoyed checking out the competition, so getting her to come here today was easy.Badlands was darker and smaller than I had imagined. It felt like a place dripping with excess. We reached the bottom of the stairs. I noticed the club was just a few velvet couches, a small dance floor, and a long bar made of dark wood. Above the bar, small old televisions were lined up, all playing the same black-and-white movie, Dr. Strangelove."Fool's Gold" by The Stone Roses played in the background, the beat vibrating through the floor beneath my knee-high boots.People in costumes were doing drugs off the bar, and there was a couple at the far corner of

His lips were swollen and bruised, but otherwise, he looked calm and in control."I assume that was a question you already know the answer to, so I will save you the response." He was already reaching for the cigarette pack in his back pocket."Do you have a girlfriend?" I asked without thinking.He laughed, a cigarette held between his straight white teeth. "Do not worry about me having girlfriends. I never will.""Why not?""Because no woman is worth it, especially not one who is the child of a man I would like to drain of his money."He lit his cigarette. His gray eyes felt like ice moving down my skin."You know, I would never tell if we were together." I swallowed my pride. I did not know why I wanted him so much. I just knew I did. He made me feel like I was in another world whenever we were together."I just told you this was our last kiss.""But why?" I asked."Because I want your father's business.""I will not tell.""You are not worth the risk." He shrugged, smoking his cig

ARIELLA I forced a steady smile, even though my nerves were all over the place. I did not answer him. Just standing near him made my head spin. I felt confused, excited, and a little crazy all at once.“You’re very slow,” he said. His low voice slipped into me like sweet poison.“You’re very rude.”I kept my eyes on our families walking ahead of us. Aiden was standing in front of a portrait of Cormac King, the first King who came to Boston after the Great Famine. Troy and Sally looked like they wanted to jump out of the French windows.“Did you find yourself yet?” he asked.Not even close. I felt my cheeks reddening under my makeup. “I had a bad night that night.”“That does not answer my question.” He laughed.Aiden looked back at us with a frown. “Hurry up. And remember, Sterling, I am watching you.”Daniel smiled at my brother, who was only a few years older than him. “Do you like what you see, King?”“Not at all,” Aiden said, his eyes narrowing.“Here is some advice. I do not l

ARIELLA Ariella, Nineteen, Daniel, Twenty Six “For heaven’s sake, Ariella, what are you doing? They’re here so hurry up!”My Mother scolded me, her heels clicking on the shiny floor. Then She grabbed my wrist and pulled me.“Come on, you know I’m not good at small talk and you have to save me from talking too much. Especially with the mother. She has a job. You know I don’t do well with people like that.”I followed her to the front hall, feeling like a big rock was stuck in my stomach.Today, my parents invited Sandy’s family over for dinner. Mother said she wanted to know the Sterlings better. But really, she just wanted Henry to come.Even though Henry didn’t like the idea, I had met Sandy many times since they moved in together. We became friends fast after a strange charity party where she introduced me to Aurora and Annabelle.Sandy was funny, smart, and very loyal but no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn’t talk about Daniel. She was super protective of him, and every time I

ARIELLA He bit my bottom lip gently, sucking on it a little then licked the inside of it.“Oh sweetheart, you’re a pretty liar, Ariella,” he said in a low voice that made my stomach twist. “But it looks like you found out who you really are. You’re a monster, too.”He kissed me again, rough and deep, then pulled away.“If you tell anyone about this, I’ll find you—and I’ll kill you, too. I’d run if I were you. I’m giving you two minutes before I come after you.”Then he turned and walked away slowly. The streetlights hit his back, making him look like one of those bad guys in old movies—the kind you secretly hope wins. He got into a car parked a few spots away from mine. Slow. Calm. Dangerous.I hit the gas and didn’t look back.I drove so fast that my car broke down the moment I got home.Not long after the Aquila Fair, my brother Henry came back from California for good.He looked golden, sun-kissed, and more blond than before. He moved into a fancy apartment downtown with a girl na

ARIELLA My phone kept ringing and I knew my parents would send someone to look for me if I didn’t go home soon.An eighteen-year-old girl missing for eight hours wasn’t a big deal to most people.But an eighteen-year-old oil heiress, whose dad was one of the richest men in the world? That was a big deal. I was sure my family was already panicking.I was a King. Kings always had to be protected. I looked at my phone again.Mom: I’m getting more and more worried. Please text me. I know you’re upset, but you’re upsetting everyone by disappearing like this! I can’t sleep. You know I need my sleep.Mom: Your dad will blame me for all of this. I hope you’re happy, Ariella. Getting me in trouble.Oh, no. Calm down, Mom.Henry: Dad might have a heart attack, sis. Just saying. (More hugs from Cali.)Aiden: Don’t be so emotional. She worked for us.Dad: I’m sorry for your loss, Ariella. Please come home.Leaves crunched under my feet as I walked to Mom’s car, a Volvo XC90. I was just about to

AURORA'S POV He threw his tie and coat on a chair in the corner of the room. I didn’t listen to what he said. The pain Herold had caused this man made it hard to get close to his true self. He was tough, but I hoped he wasn’t impossible to reach. I wasn’t someone who gave up and I wasn’t about

AURORA'S POV Annabelle’s eyes went straight to my half-open shoulder bag hanging from my seat. A drawing from one of my students, Riley, for Greta Reynolds was peeking out. It had her name on it with flowers and hearts.“Does he know you still see Thomas’s grandmother every week?” Annabelle asked.
