All Chapters of Beautiful Disaster: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

When Marybeth looked up from the journal, her vision was slightly blurry from staring at the pages too long, and her body was stiff from sitting in the same position for over two hours.Bewildered by all the deep, dark secrets the book held, she snapped it shut, wishing she could unsee everything.There wasn't anything about Andrei, but there were several entries detailing Iris' sordid love affairs, with Blake being one of the many men she'd had entanglements with.The woman didn't have a loyal bone in her body and was unfaithful almost from the very beginning—The sound of the door beeping open pulled Marybeth out of her thoughts. She placed the journal on the table and sprung to her feet when Austin stepped into the living area a moment later."What are you doing here?" she asked, surprised and thrilled all at once. She didn't expect to see him until much later."I thought we were meeting at the venue?" she continued as she yawned in her hand."I couldn't wait to see you," Austin re

If Marybeth had been paying attention, she would have noticed all the glitz and glamour all around them from the moment they stepped into The Leonardo. But she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. She was more concerned with the man standing beside her, whose world she'd just cracked wide open with her revelations."You can stop worrying about me, žena. I'm not about to go on a murderous rampage," Austin said when he caught her looking at him for the millionth time since they'd stepped into the elevator."That's a relief!" Marybeth smiled, glad to see that despite receiving the worst news of his life just minutes ago, he still had his sense of humour."Anyway, have you been here before?" she asked. Her eyes were now glued to the display panel, watching the floor numbers change at blinding speed as the elevator crept up."A few times," Austin replied and went on to explain that somewhere in this ritzy skyscraper, there was a five-star hotel, a rooftop chill lounge with 360 view

Austin had every intention of taking Tim's call, but once he stepped onto the balcony, he couldn't bring himself to pick up. So he stood there awhile, thinking about Marybeth's revelations, the beauty of the sun sinking low on the horizon lost to him.He'd tried the whole afternoon to keep it together for her sake, but now that he was alone, he could finally confront the intense emotions swirling in his heart.Was he surprised to learn about Iris' infidelity? Not really. After all, for years, there'd been rumours about her. But now that those said rumours had been confirmed, he'd be the first to admit he was bitterly hurt and somewhat enraged. Maybe because when they got engaged, he'd poured all his energy into making their relationship work and never thought of straying, not even once. He was a fool for believing she would do the same.When his phone rang again, Austin knew he couldn't keep ignoring his capo. So he reluctantly answered, "This had better be a life and death situation!

They had to stop in Forrest Creek first to pick Orlando up from Mrs Allan's place before heading back to The Castle.As they drove through the cobbled streets of the artsy neighbourhood, Austin pointed out various places of interest, from the rooftop market at the Civic Theatre to the public swimming pool and the Garden of Remembrance in the middle of the Town Square."And that's Fugue," he concluded the tour, pointing at a fairly new building swathed in postmodern architecture in the distance.Marybeth craned her neck, trying to get a better look. "It sounds swanky. What is it?""An art gallery owned by Willow Anderson, Liam's middle sister," Austin explained."You seem to know a lot about the Andersons," said Marybeth as she tried to think back to the last time she had set foot in an art gallery. She couldn't."Not really," Austin replied, shrugging. "But since we move in the same circles, it's hard not to know everyone's business.""I see," she nodded absently, her eyes lighting up

[Book 2]...Austin had done this at least a hundred times before, if not more—blitz-attacked idiots bold enough to think they could cross him. And never in his wildest dreams would he have ever imagined that someday he'd find himself on the receiving end of such an attack or that the person who'd try to take him down would be none other than the man he'd trusted implicitly up until a few moments ago.While he was still trying to process the last ten seconds and make sense of the horror unfolding before his eyes, more armoured vehicles descended upon the scene, and a fresh wave of armed guards spilt out of the open doors."The backup teams are here!" announced Jakov, the man in charge of Austin's security in Rock Castle.Austin had known him his whole adult life, and if anyone could get them out of a hairy situation, it was Jakov. After all, he was ex-military and had a wealth of experience in surprise attacks."How do you want to proceed? Should we engage?" Jakov asked as he fiddled w
