When He Became My Shelter: The Billionaire's Vow Chapter 11: Don't you want me?
“ I mean. Forgive us.”She tightened her fist. My eyes moved to the figure right next to her. Eyes slant, he stood stiff by her side, his hands dipped in his pockets. I drag my eyes away, my thoughts centered on Godric.“Did he just change his mind?” I thought worriedly. What if it makes me appear like a jealous wife? What's he going to think of me? Once they were gone, and his attention was back on me, I apologized. “ I didn't mean to. It was thoughtless and…”“ Disappointing. I imagined you wanted me home with you and all for you.”I gulped loudly, pulling my eyes away. He chuckled and lifted my face. “ You make me want to make out so badly.”Ahem!I snapped my neck in the direction, and met Victor leaning against the wall by the television set up. “ Brother…”“ You remember me at last.” He frowned and loped outside. “ I think I should go talk to him,” I said to Godric and met a slight pout. “ He can take care of himself.”“ And so can you.” I retorted and a smile made his face
When He Became My Shelter: The Billionaire's Vow Chapter Ten: For You
Not the best time to discover that my marriage wasn't a matter of chance. Lawrence West, or whatever his real name is, didn't bump into me. He chose me.Our route opened up to the stairs, and we were soon rushing down at the speed of light. I tried not to think about it, but deep inside me I had surmised that the night guard must be the reason behind the attack. For now, I must get out of here alive. We were soon back inside the rain, ending up in an alley after the stairs ended. We kept our heads low, and walked on, until we were safe away from public attention. “ Godric’s home is secure. I know the address.” I told her, hoping to convince her to come with me. “ We have a son. It would be best if we met in his house.”“ You have a son with Godric Banks?”“ Sorry. I forgot to mention he's adopted.” I explained, and watched her let out a deep breath. The kind that marks relief of some kind. I shrug the voice at the back of my head, and strutted next to her. “What if they had something
When He Became My Shelter: The Billionaire's Vow Chapter Nine: Not random attacks
“ A dozen?” An alarm rang in my head. “ My ex-husband didn't cheat. He had cheated with me instead. While I'm relieved the brothers had saved Elizabeth, the new development has me dumbed into silence. When I finally looked up at him, my breath caught. “ What happened to the others?” I thought out loud. “ Are they all…”“ Dead? Not sure. Elizabeth briefed me on a few things she is privy to. About the men who took you. Can you identify any of them?” I shook my head, and then the scar across the shoulder of the man who carried me flashed in my eyes. “ One of them had a scar.” I said to him and gestured to my shoulder. He had me draw the image I recall on a paper, and was soon about to leave the hotel room.“ Victor, come with me. You two are grounded. Elizabeth is fine, and you will meet her soon. In the meantime, change into something warmer. Manage whatever clothes you can find in the closet, and you should be ready for your treatment within the next two days.” He said in a breath and
When He Became My Shelter: The Billionaire's Vow Chapter Eight: Line of spouses
Name, Rachel Sanders. A medical doctor. Died from a single gunshot to the chest, at a close proximity. I couldn't tell Victor, and certainly not Godric. Not after making a fool of myself in front of him. Then my mind flashed back to the photo. The couple's son had greeted me as the woman in the photo. But I have no memory of when the photo was taken, or why Rachel Sanders was in possession of my photo.I stepped out from the cadillac into the rain, and opened the umbrella. It turned inside out at first, with wind howling and thunder rumbling. Even in my trench coat, the cold bites deep. Lightening flash, illuminating the face of the woman several feet away. She glanced around, before walking up to me, her footsteps squelching in the pool. “ Before you say anything, I need to know how your sister got my photo.” I said to her, hands freezing around the handle of the umbrella. “ That is not important right now…”“ What is?” I retorted, my eyebrows raised. How could that not be importan
When He Became My Shelter: The Billionaire's Vow Chapter Seven: Coincidence
I hadn't thought about that. Such a possibility hadn't crossed my thoughts. She looks too well enough to be so petty. Godric groans, scrolling through his phone. When he paused and looked up from his phone, the door parted, as if he had heard someone coming from his position. “ Oh, and just in case, she slapped…”“ Please.” I cut in, and dragged my brother closer. “ I need to eat.” I added, trying to avoid looking behind her where I could make our the figure of Lawrence. But something drops from my pocket, and I looked down in time to meet the necklace inches away from the obituary on the centre of the page. I snapped my eyes up the moment someone stooped to grab the newspaper. “ That's mine,” I said anxiously, dropping the takeaways to snatch the newspaper from Godric. Although I had wanted to talk to him about it, I wasn't expecting this crowd, and now doesn't feel like the best time.“ Hold on.” He sidesteps me, and spreads it before his face, stepping between me and the people in
When He Became My Shelter: The Billionaire's Vow Chapter Six : Blocked by a rival
On the second ring, the call connected and a velvety voice came through. My heart lurched the moment that familiar voice dropped in my ears. “ Godric is busy at the moment. You may call back again,” she said and hung up. I dialled back the line, my heart throbbing within the walls of my chest. Line busy.Then it stopped connecting. I felt my heart lurch, thoughts of her and Lawrence all along, plunging into my chest like a dagger. She is not contented. Never was. Now I have to deal with a similar situation between the same woman and Godric.I dialled Victor’s number at once and seconds in, his voice cut in. “ Little sister…”“ Please, I need your help. I need to meet Godric.”“ Where are you currently?”I checked the nearest road sign and read it out straight from the board. He directed me to the place we would meet, and by the time I arrived, he was already there. I shifted from the wheels after waving him over, and he got in. “ You don't sound well. What's the matter?”I take a mo
