UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 91: The Note
POV: RichardThe car was quiet for a moment after Ned finished talking. He told me everything he knew, his suspicions of what he thought was going on, and how he had hired Cole to make some investigations.I sat there quietly, trying to assimilate everything he had just said and let it settle. Oma has left for Oakhaven for her family over a phone call from Benson telling her about an accident that Cole's people couldn't find any hospital record of."She went alone?" I asked feeling straight away that there was something not right about it."Yes, yesterday's morning," Ned said. "She took Maya with her.""And you're telling me there was no accident." I asked as my heart began to beat faster following the implication of what could be at stake."No record of it anywhere according Cole’s investigation," Ned said. "Not at Oakhaven General or at any facility within twenty miles of the Johnson house."I looked at the road ahead as I heaved a kind of knowing sigh. "So, someone called her with

(POV: Richard)The knock came at half past eight.I was sitting on the edge of the bed fully dressed, staring at the carpet. I had been dressed since morning, not because I had anywhere to go, but because putting on clothes felt like the only decision in this house that still belonged to me.Two of my mother's security guards opened the door."Sir," the taller one said. "There is a visitor downstairs."I looked up at him. "Who?"They looked at each other briefly."Who is it?" I asked again."You should come down now sir."I looked at them for a long moment. Then I stood up and we all went downstairs.---I heard Ned's voice before I saw him.I was halfway down the stairs when I heard his voice. I stopped on the step and held the banister.Then I kept walking.Ned was standing in the centre of the sitting room with his jacket on and his hands in his pockets. My mother was beside him, like she was managing the conversation."He has been resting," she was saying smoothly. "He really shou

( POV Ned)I loosened my white-knuckled grip on the stone ledge and let myself drop. The fall was only a few feet, but the impact sent a jolt of pure lightning through my ribs. I stumbled, pressing my shoulder against the rough brick wall of the estate to keep from collapsing. I stood there for a long minute, eyes squeezed shut, forcing my lungs to expand and contract until the world stopped spinning.I couldn't do this from the shadows anymore. Slyness had served its purpose, but to get Richard out, I had to walk through the front door.I brushed the damp garden soil off my palms, adjusted my heavy coat to ensure the thick layers of medical gauze were hidden, and smoothed my hair. I took a breath that tasted of rain and expensive straw, then rounded the corner toward the grand entrance.I didn't sneak, I didn't hesitate. I marched up the marble steps and hammered on the massive oak door.The heavy door creaked open, and a young maid, one I remembered from the summer galas, stared at

(Ned's Pov)The cold night air bit through the bandages around my ribs as I shuffled across the wet ground. Each step felt like a dull blade scraping along my side, a rhythmic reminder of the price I’d paid to get this far. I stayed low, making my way through the thick shadows of the ancient oaks that encircled the Jones estate. From a distance, I stared at the front gate, a towering iron barrier that looked more like the entrance to a mausoleum than a family home.One of the guards, a man named Nobert who had seen me trailing after Richard for years, stepped out of the cubicle. He recognized me instantly."I need to see Mrs. Jones," I told him, fighting to keep my voice level despite the burning sensation in my chest. "It’s urgent business regarding the firm.""Please," I added, the word tasting like ash.Nobert didn't even look at his clipboard. He knew my face; I was part of the furniture in Richard’s world. He just nodded and buzzed the tiny side gate open. "Make it quick, Ned. Sh

(POV: Ned)“You’re late,” I said, my voice sounding gravelly even to my own ears. I didn't look up from the empty space I’d been staring at for the last hour.“I’m just being careful,” he replied, pulling out a chair. The heavy oak groaned under his weight. “The air is thick out there, Ned. Everyone is watching everyone.”Cole walked in at six-twenty. The evening sun was showing a deep, bruised purple through the blinds of my office, casting long, skeletal shadows across the floor. He didn't say a word at first; he just shut the door with a soft, gloomy click and dropped a thin manila file on my desk.I finally looked up, meeting his eyes. They were tired, rimmed with the kind of fatigue that comes from chasing shadows. “Alright, let's hear you talk. Give me something I can actually use.”“Richard Jones hasn’t stepped foot out of his mother’s house in five days,” he said. The statement hung in the air like a bad omen.I pushed back from my desk, the wheels of my chair scraping harshly

(POV Oma).The cab stopped outside the house at ten past two. I settled in the back seat for a second, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs that contrasted sharply with the stillness of the afternoon. I unlatched the door, my movements stiff and robotic.The house was exactly as it always had been. It stood as a monument to a childhood that felt like a lifetime ago, with the same cream walls now slightly weathered by the seasons, and the same vibrant flowers curling up the iron gate like tangled memories. As I stepped out, my feet found the familiar, uneven third step on the porch, a trip hazard I’d navigated a thousand times.Maya was asleep and content, resting in the crook of my arm. She was calmly taking everything in through the veil of her dreams, looking very much at home in a place she had never been.I kissed the top of her head, inhaling that sweet, milky scent that usually grounded me. I grabbed my bag and went up the path, my eyes searching the windows for a

Richard didn't flinch. He stood in the center of the room, the dim orange glow of the woodstove casting long, voracious shadows across his face. He looked like a man who had already died once and found the experience liberating. In his right hand, he gripped the silver-headed walking stick Bonny ha

Richard looked... broken. The "Ice Prince" persona hadn't just liquefied; it had been burnt.Everywhere became heavily silent, except for the crackle of the woodstove and the rhythmic dripping of water from Richard’s-soaked jacket onto the rug. I couldn't move. My mind was screaming at me to run, t

"You’re awake," Bonny said without looking up. "Then stand up and eat, there’s sourdough and jam on the stove. You’ll need the sugar.""Bonny," I said, my voice still raspy from sleep. "About that man yesterday... he’s just the beginning. The people looking for me aren't just rich, they’re influent

“Please no,” I prayed silently, the damp fog of Crescent Cove seeping into my bones. “Not the baby. Please, God, not now”. The pain radiating through my stomach was a terrifying, blinding flame. I knelt on the freezing pavement of the passageway, clutching my stomach with both arms."Miss Johnson,
