The Billionaire's Runaway Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Christina’s POVI stared hard at the door, with his words ringing in my head, long after he was gone. It was hard to believe that Scott had said those words to me. What was happening? Why was he suddenly so nice? Firstly, he nursed me back to good health and transformed my bedroom into a mini library with my favorite books and now he wants to act out the fantasy I’d shared with his aunt. It was all too much for me and the more I thought about this new side of him, the more confused I became. All I was used to was the brooding businessman who saw me as nothing more than a business transaction he had to deal with for a year. What has changed him? Or was this to lure me enough to want to have his child? These thoughts scared me because I hadn’t done any research to prevent pregnancy. If he keeps going this way and finally gets me where he wants me, I’d be doomed with no preparations to escape his claws.I shook my head and rose to my feet, determined to not let his few acts of kindness

Scott’s POVI checked to make sure the blindfold was in place before reaching for her arm to pull her around. At first, she was still and wouldn’t move but I squeezed her arm softly.“Relax, and let me lead you, little fairy,” My words were calm and they did the magic as I tugged on her arm and she blindly let me lead her out of the house, towards the waiting car, with the chauffeur ready to drive us to our destination. I got the door for her and helped her in then I rounded the car to get. The engine roared to life the moment we were settled and the car pulled out of the vast compound.“S-scott, where are you taking me?” Her words came out in a quivering voice and I heard the hint of fear in them but I reached for her palm and linked my fingers to hers, lightly caressing the inside of her palm.I noticed the moment she released a shaky breath and her glossy lips parted slightly. I stared at her gorgeous face, and her parted lips. They looked so sensual and kissable that it was taking

Christina’s POVFor the rest of dinner, I kept to myself, for lack of what to say but it wasn’t long before Mr. Briggs returned with my packed dessert. He directed a smile at us as he gently placed the package on the table.“I was told you’re set to leave, hence, I decided to bring this here, myself. I hope you enjoyed your meal?”“It was wonderful, Mr. Briggs, and it’s been such an honor to meet you,” I smiled at him, my excitement returning. I had no idea how Scott got to know of my little fantasy to meet with Chef Briggs but it made my evening and I didn’t know how to thank him for it. He’s been so sweet all evening, despite the cold reminder that I was still bound by his contract with my dad.“I’m glad I made your evening,” He winked and directed his attention to Scott, who had been quietly watching us, an unreadable expression etched on his face. “I’m sure you enjoyed your evening too, Reid,”“Of course, she made my night,” Scott’s lips tilted in a smile that didn’t quite reach

Christina’s POV The car pulled through the gates of the huge estate that was the Reid family home. The property was a wide expanse of land, and the architecture was quite impressive and beautiful and I couldn’t stop staring as the chauffeur slowly rolled the car towards the garage where several other expensive cars were also parked. From the sight alone, I could tell a lot of well-known dignitaries and socialites were in attendance and I could feel my nerves rising, and anxiety settling in my guts as it began to dawn on me that I had no place here. The Reid’s were a family of renowned billionaires, with a large business empire and conglomerate, which Scott only managed half of it. As I’ve been briefed by Aunt Eunice, her elder brother, Colton Reid, managed the other half, which was a business he began building from a very young age and had done his best to raise to the top. It was almost competing with The Ashton Reid Corp, and to think his only daughter, Adeline Reid had just gradua

Christina’s POVAfter Scott’s little show outside, the rest of the party went on without a hitch, as he took time socializing with some of his business partners who were in attendance, while also making contacts with new ones that were down for a business partnership. He was also able to find time to introduce me to more people as his fiancee, not minding his uncle’s earliest remarks. For the rest of the evening, when I wasn’t hanging on his arm like an arm candy and smiling at whoever showed up our way, I was with Aunt Eunice, or all by myself, trying to fit into their inner circle, without calling much attention to myself in the process. But that was a slightly difficult task as the moment he introduced me as his wife-to-be, quite several people became interested in our relationship, and in getting to know more about me.In all of this time, I never caught sight of Marvin again, and I couldn’t stop wondering if he’d heard our little exchange of words and was hurt that his brother wo
