All Chapters of A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

JENNY POVContrary to what I vaguely recall about the trial, with little less than half a month to go, I walked my final tour of the evidence. I took a long walk up the stairs toward the safe box where all the documents and evidence were kept, my heart racing.When I opened the safe box, the second surprise awaited me; it was empty. All our evidence was missing! Panic swept over me, and I reached in to search frantically, hoping maybe I had mislaid the documents. But the truth was clear: everything was gone.Unbelievably so. Everything we had worked for and all our evidence had vanished. It felt like the wind was knocked out of me. How could this happen? Who took the evidence?Panicking, I called Adrian and the lawyer, stuttering. "It's gone," I said. "All of it."Adrian was calm. He reassured me: "We'll figure this out. We'll get to the bottom of it. Don't worry. We'll find a way to move forward."But I felt uneasy now. That meant our case was in trouble. Samuel's team would probably

JENNY POVThe bailiffs were rather coming at them; movement was swift and fine tuned. "Let go," said one, coming towards Samuel and Julian.Samuel was apparently fighting bailiffs and raised his voice in protest, "It can't be! I'm innocent, I tell you! I'm innocent!"Julian, however, seemed defeated; eyes cast down as the bailiffs cuffed him. He didn't resist; didn't fight; just stood there, shoulders slumped in resignation.Bailiffs led them away in a straight line as Samuel kept shouting and protesting, his voice blending up with noise-making. Julian was around, quiet, with that sight on the floor.The doors of the courtroom shut behind them, and the spectators trickled out, whispering amongst themselves about the shocking verdict. I, my mom and Adrian stood there watching bailiffs take them away. Justice was served, and they would pay for what they did.When going through the corridors where we just walked out of the courtroom, my mom turned to us now with a grin on her face, with

JENNY POV"Once upon a sunset day, a golden firmament gently beneath Dubai's skyline glided above the city, which had come to mean everything to us, and there were Adrian and I together, hand in hand, gazing across the unknown city." Thus would our journey to an unknown future begin.As weeks turned into months, the affair bloomed yet further, and we fell in love staring mutually into each other's eyes: long walks on the beach with sunsets, dreaming things that were almost monologue-like.At the beach one evening, Adrian turned toward me and said, 'I want you to spend the rest of your life with me.' My eyes were brimming with tears, and nodding was an understanding. "I also want to spend the rest of my life with you," I added.Adrian started getting really emotional, dove into his narrow pocket, and brought out a small box. 'Will you marry me?' He asked with a little added quaver in his voice. I was so blown away; my eyes got very big and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, a million times yes

ADRIAN POVAll fit to burst with happy joy, and really not in any way able to keep joy controlled, I ran straight towards Jenny's ward; and my heart beat like a train's wheels running on the tracks. Cracked the door ajar, I peeped in. But, no sooner did my eyes lay on my beautiful wife lying down there, with her eyes locked onto the television-"Honey," I called softly so as not to startle her.She turned her gaze to me, and a slight smile fell across her lips. "Yea," she replied soft and gentle. I moved to the edge of the bed and sat on it beside her, our eyes shining into each other. I was lost staring into those beautiful eyes and getting all the more lovely toward her.Before the evils of my mind settle, I kissed her lips very lightly, "I love you very much," he whispered-voice barely audible as he choked with emotion. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me, drawing in tighter. "I love you too," she murmured, still kissing me.Kissing her made euphoria and gratification wrap aro

ADRIAN POVAs we lay there, Jenny's body tensed, muscles broiling under the skin like waves about to crest. A grotesque distortion of her face came into view as her eyes were closed shut, and a strangled, guttural cry, "Hpppp!" escaped her lips, followed closely by a heartbreaking wrenching sound. This tearing sound ripped irrevocably through the very fabric of that moment. Eyes that once sparkled with humor and fun turned into tight, scrunched-up furrows of mixed terror and discomfort." And I, exhilarated, turned toward her, speaking soft, reassuring words, almost like a summer's warm, gentle breeze."What is it, baby?" I asked, leniently. Distracted by pain, Jenny barely perceived my touch as I brushed a straining hand from her forehead. In that instant, I felt an electric jolt through my fingers. Slowly, her eyes opened, and she gazed up at me- her expression blurred and hazy, breathing labored. Each rise and fall of her chest steered with ragged breaths alongside cowering flickeri
