Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Brooks Miller stares at the fair silver-eyed dude sitting before him and ruffles his hair. He opens his mouth to talk but nothing is coming out. He is just dumbfounded as he could ever be.All he thought as he made that chat while talking with the Pearsons was to get the token up and with his actions get Lucien out of the mansion then someone will grab him and send him to the cops but now he lost in both ways.He just couldn't understand why the cops will be afraid of that thing. That riffraff.He is still in thought when the fair guy walks to him and squats. He taps him on the lap drawing his attention to him and gives him a lopsided grin. "Why is the Scion of the great Millers bothered?""You don't understand Ryder, that thing is getting on my nerves! Can you believe I..."Ryder as Brooks called him places a finger on his lips shutting him up and walks off.He comes back a few minutes later with two glasses of wine and hands one to Brooks.He sits down before him and takes a sip o

Lucien smiles up at him for his act of benevolence but his smile only lasts for a second as he purses his lips in disappointment and tilts his head. "Do you think I don't have sufficient money, Bryson?"Mr. Ethan freezes at his choice of words and gulps. He has hoped to form a stronger bond with Lucien with his act of kindness but forgot that Lucien has never for once accepted a gift from him. Even though it hurt him he couldn't say a word regarding that. He knows Lucien is damn wealthy although he doesn't know to what extent and so "I'll be in the private room next to this Mr. Wood. Call me if you need anything. I'm sorry for bothering you and hope you enjoy your little stay here." He excuses himself cautiously. He wouldn't want to ruin his little connection with a man like Lucien Wood.Lucien watches him leave without any other word and soon the bidding war officially starts.A man walks to the podium and brings out all the pieces of jewelry and with each one he raises for the bidd

Mr. Santiago is screaming at the top of his voice as if he has run mad. The whole floor is filled up with numerous things he has ended up shattering. His breathing is erratic and parts of his base knuckles are bleeding. His shirt is all soaked up and veins are throbbing in his neck."How could he take all I wanted! How could he!" He barks and ruffles his hair.Mrs. Avery is trying all she can to calm him down but he isn't giving her the chance to. He is lost in his rage. He pushes her off each time she comes near him."What's going on hubby?" She asks trying to hold back the tears that are tending to fall off her eyes but he ignores her and keeps on scattering all he is scattering.Juliet and Brianna are standing at the far end of the sitting room. They haven't seen their dad that way before and are not willing to go near him lest he pushes them off just as he is pushing Mrs. Avery and they end up hitting their head on the tiled floor. They can't risk that.The maids and guards too

His actions and words leave them having some scruples about him for the first time since he came back. Their mind goes back to the things he's been doing since then and how different he's been behaving. Cool, relaxed, unbothered, and full of courage. The Lucien they feel they know would have been shaking by now but this one doesn't get moved by anything. Could it be that there is something he is hiding from them?However, as they peek at his cheap frayed clothes and poor state that was virtually the same as in the past their worries vanish.Mrs. Avery crinkles her nose at him believing she is just overthinking things. A good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing. She stares at Juliet and nods as a signal for her to do it. She has so much faith that the necklace is real and Lucien is just a dumbhead."In as much as I want to do this, I don't think it is necessary." Juliet whispers. She does not love troubles. She just loves living her simple life and staying away from anything that

Brooks opens his mouth to reply but Juliet shakes her head uninterested in whatever it is he wants to say and walks past him to Lucien's side. Getting to Lucien, she scowls at him and squats to his level. "Why do you love making trouble every time?" She asks only to his hearing and curls her brows at him. Lucien grins and shrugs his shoulders. "You wouldn't blame me, will you? Dude is a liar and faker. I just had to stand up for you lest you accept something not worth accepting." Juliet wants to pull him close to her heart and hug him so tight for standing up for her and saving her even though she won't have accepted the gift but she shakes her head to wade off the thoughts. He left her! It would have been done if it was in the past! She wouldn't ever do something that will give him the feeling that she is considering him again. And so instead of smiling and hugging him as she would do she crinkles her nose staring at him with contempt. "Did I ask you to? Or don't you know how to m
