The Billionaire's Drunken Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Chapter 102 The city lights blurred as James whisked past at really high speed, with the racing of his mind at an even further up ticked pace. Louis sat beside him in complete silence, shooing nervous glances at James once in a while. They were on their way to some safe house Louis claimed only he knew—the place to fall back and regroup before they could decide on the next step. "Take a left here," Louis muttered, breaking the thick silence. James obliged, his jaw clenched tight, not uttering a word. Pulling into a drab apartment building in a quiet neighborhood, James finally spoke. "If this is a trap, Louis, I swear to God- "It's not," Louis interrupted, his own voice tight. "I know I've betrayed your trust, James, but right now, I'm all you've got. We're in this together." James laughed bitterly. "Together? You shot my wife, Louis. You've been lying to me for years. We're not in anything together." Louis grimaced at James's harsh tone but didn't argue. The two of them made the

Chapter 104James looked at his watch again, for about the hundredth time. It was just about midnight. He, Louis and Jack were huddled in the shadows next to Elena's compound. The night was cool and damp, and James could feel his heart pounding in his chest."You ready for this?" Jack whispered.James nodded. "Let's do it."They crept to a rusted manhole cover; Jack pulled out a crowbar, worked it beneath with ease, and pried it open. Whatever smell wafted up made James gag."Ladies first," Jack said with a smirk.James shot him a glare but started to climb down the ladder. The sewer was dark and slimy, and he tried not to think about what he stepped in.They moved through tunnels behind Jack's lead. Every little sound seemed magnified, and James kept jumping. He was expecting guards to pop out at him around every corner.They moved for what felt like hours before Jack finally held up a hand. "We're here," he whispered.Above them was another manhole cover. Jack listened a minute, the

Chapter 106Before reaching Sarah's hideout, they had to go on a roundabout way. They changed their vehicles three times, drove through villages and passageways that were not in use or even hiked through thick forest at one point. By the time they arrived, everyone was tired.“Welcome to the Nest,” Sarah said as they walked up to a big wooden house situated in the middle of a clearing. The structure appeared ancient and worn out but James could still notice some hints of sophisticated security arrangements within the natural setting in which it was located.Inside, the log cabin contrasted sharply with its exterior. There was a line-up of modern computers and communication devices on one wall while another wall displayed an assortment of impressive weapons. The lounge area looked simple though very comfortable for everybody present."Make yourselves at home," Sarah said." “We’ll stay here for some time.”As everyone got comfortable, James couldn’t just wonder about this whole set up u

Chapter 108The alarms were so noisy, beating, that it became hard to recall the usual cliche of one's heart pounding. For James, it certainly was; he had one priority: to get through to Lily."Where would Elena get her to?" he yelled over the tumult to Sarah.Sarah shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe her office?""Worth a shot," Jack said, already leading the charge with his gun ready.They turned the corner and all but ran into two more guards. Jack was quick on the response, smashing one across the face with the butt of his weapon. James didn't make out quite as well: he reared off, tried to spear the second guard to the ground, and could do little more than push him back against the wall."Where's Lily?" he growled.The man's eyes went wide. "I-I don't know who that is!"James struck him with the shoulder blade again. "Blonde woman. Elena just took her. Where?""Top floor! Elena's private rooms!" the guard squeaked.James let him fall and turned to the others. "Come on."They fou

Chapter 110James rose early the next morning. He lay in bed not sleeping due to the thoughts running through his mind as to what was happening to them. It did not sit well for him that she was to pretend and join Elena. He lifted his eyes to the wooden ceiling of the cabin and had a new thought starting to form in his mind.He rose up real quiet, not wanting to wake up Lily. He went into the kitchen, took some coffee, and sat beside this arm-wobbling table. He took a notebook out from his bag and started to write down everything coming to his mind on paper.One hour later, Lily yawned her way out of the bedroom. "Morning," she mumbled, shuffling right past him toward the stove with the coffee pot."Hey," said James, looking up from his notes. "Sleep okay?"Lily shrugged. "To the best of my ability, under the circumstances." She poured coffee to cup and she sat down across from James. "What is all this?" she asked, nodding at his notebook.James took a deep breath. "I've been thinki
