Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Grandpa Edgar had tried to keep his anger in check. He had tried to be patient and wait for Ronin and Carmen to plan their course of action after learning about the individuals behind the attacks on Ronin and Willow. However, by the time the next morning arrived, he couldn’t contain it. His anger and frustration had spiked through the roof, and no amount of blood pressure pills could calm him down. Joy, the driver, had tried to talk the old man out of his intended course of action, but being merely a servant, he couldn’t reason beyond his place. In the end, he nodded his head and drove his master to the address he knew all too well. Seven years ago, Edgar had transferred this property to one of his sons as a birthday gift. However, on that day, as he stepped into the elevator and waited for the lift to open to the only penthouse in the building, he felt as if he had failed so terribly in raising his kids. Well, one of them, technically. The mo

The drive to the hospital was rushed and unnerving.Carmen couldn’t sit straight, always shifting and finding her gaze running to Ronin. He seemed to have taken a spot behind the steering wheel, not trusting the driver to go fast enough for them to reach the hospital as soon as possible.She knew Ronin and Grandpa shared a special bond, so if there was anyone hit the hardest by the news about Grandpa, it had to be Ronin. She felt terrible for him, seeing him gripping the steering wheel tight enough to turn his knuckles pale.She had tried to talk to him, to assure him and convince him to relax. But Ronin, as if lost in his own head, merely replied with a hum or a nod. That’s all she got from him during the entire drive, and as soon as they reached the hospital and he parked the car, he took off without even waiting for her.Carmen didn’t mind. She knew he was worried. She was worried too.She rushed after Ronin as he hustled throu

“Look, Johnny. I don’t care how much money it takes; just get me the hell out of this state,” James barked into the phone, brows deeply furrowed as he sat in the passenger seat and watched his nephew drive.“I’m doing my best, Logan boy!” Johnny’s voice came from the other side, not sounding happy. “It’s not my fault my contact is out of reach. He must be on some business; else, he wouldn’t ignore my calls.”“Don’t mess with me! Just get me the damn ticket out of this place. I’m on my way to the club.” Disconnected.Eric, who had been listening to the entire conversation, adjusted his hands on the steering wheel. “Is there some problem?”“Nothing you need to care about.” James snapped.But Eric didn’t like the tone. He scowled. “You know what? You can either ask people to do your shit nicely, or you can just go and screw you

Carmen took in a deep breath and willed herself to be prepared for the showdown.It had to be the end, right? Her mother had managed to prevent James from disappearing and was now waiting for them so they could get the answers to all their questions. Forget about how she managed to do that in that short amount of time; the only thing that mattered was that she was able to do it. Now, they were this close to bringing this whole chaos to an end.Carmen looked to her right and gave a gentle squeeze to Ronin’s thigh. He looked so focused on driving them to the address her mother had provided that even the slight physical contact made him tense.“You can talk to me, Ronin,” she said to him, hoping he would share his thoughts instead of stewing alone. “You don’t have to keep everything inside anymore.”At her words, Ronin visibly relaxed. His shoulders unwound—albeit a little—as he let out a heavy sigh. He kept hi

Eric wasn’t sure what his next course of action should be, but one thing he knew—whatever it was, he would have to do it sooner rather than later.After he saw Diana and Simon entering the club, there was no doubt in his mind that they were after James—and that only meant that they were after him. Perhaps Carmen had asked for Diana’s help. Why else would Diana be interested in James? Or maybe it was Grandpa. That old man sure had secrets of his own.Not that it was time to be concerned about those.If Diana got to James, he would spill the beans. And if he knew Eric abandoned him at such a crucial hour, he would surely do something stupid and turn all the blame on him.Shit. The fucker was untrustworthy from the start. Why did he ever believe a word he said? How could he land himself in such a mess, especially when he had been so careful?Shit. Shit. Shit.No. He would have to think of something. An
