Semua Bab My Billionaire Valentine Escort : Bab 21 - Bab 30

LexiAs I stepped into the hospital ward, the first thing I saw was my mom sitting up and laughing at something Jason was telling her. Her usually glossy blonde mane was dull and in disarray, making it look like she'd just woken up from a long nap and hadn't shampooed her hair in weeks.She was awake!Relief washed over me like a tidal wave crashing into a rock. I had been worried out of my mind on my way here thanks to Jason refusing to pick up my damn calls.“Mom,” I said, my voice laced with relief and joy.She turned to look at me and a big smile spread across her face.“Honey,” she exclaimed, her expression softening.I ran to her, hugging her like a toddler who'd not seen his mom all day.“You're okay! I was so scared, mom,” I cried, holding her as tight as I could. I had missed her hugs, her warmth and I couldn't believe how close I had come to losing it.“Of course I'm okay, I've been waiting for you. Where have you been? ” She asked her voice muffled with unshed tears and

Lexi As I exited the house, the cool breeze of the night enveloped me. I shivered in the cold and tightened my cardigan around my body as I followed my brother from a distance… Where was the idiot going at this time of the night? It had to be drugs… I didn't want to believe it but what else would be doing here at this time of the night. I followed him for about one block before he turned a corner. I waited by the wall, poking my head around the corner to see him lurking in the shadows. . He pulled out his phone and began to type, probably sending a text to someone. I held my breath, waiting patiently for whoever he was meeting to arrive. After a few minutes of watching him pace the dark street. A sleek SUV pulled up in front of him blocking my view of him. I frowned, cursing the angle I was in. I couldn't see anything but the black SUV. It looked familiar but I couldn't place where I had seen it before. I I held my breath, waiting for an opportunity to see whoe

Lexi “How dare you?” I seethed, pointing an accusing finger at him. Ignoring the two men now staring at me with blatant curiosity.Richard stood from his chair, his face devoid of any expression. He glanced at his associates and murmured.“Let's continue this later.”"We don't mind. We'll wait. Hell we insist," one of them drawled with a grin that was a little too smug to be innocent. He wore a brown suit without a tie and had a head full of curly hair that made him look like he stepped off a cologne ad. Almost as handsome as Richard, almost.The man beside him, taller and broader, raised an amused brow as if this drama was the highlight of his day. Both of them looked like they'd been carved from marble, styled by GQ, and sprinkled with just enough mischief to make trouble feel like fun.I had no idea who they were, but from the knowing smirk on the curly-haired one and the subtle glint of intrigue in the other's eyes... I could guess they were just as annoyingly invested in my bu

Richard.I groaned as she bolted out of my office, leaving me high, dry, and painfully hard. I would’ve chased her if not for the damn bulge in my pants.I raked both hands through my hair and let out a frustrated, “Fuck!”My phone buzzed. I glanced at the caller ID, and instantly tossed it back on the table.I had been so close.I marched to my mini bar and poured myself a glass of vodka and downed it in one go.That should take care of my erection.But unfortunately not my disappointment.I almost had her in my palms. But thanks to my meddling family, she escaped again.I really needed to start putting my phone on silent.I sighed in frustration and irritation.If I had known she was going to take the bait so soon, I would have prepared for this moment.Jason wasn't supposed to say anything. How had she found out?I knew she would be back. She was too prideful not to be.I just hadn't anticipated how quickly she'd find out.After one conversation with Jason, I knew he was my ticket

LexiA day later.I paced my apartment, trying to figure out what to do about this little situation.Jason had put me in a tough position.But at the end of the day, I couldn't blame him but boy was I mad at him.I had tried calling Rhea to ask for the money and then figure out a way to pay back within the year but when she didn't pick up, I took that as a sign not to do that .There was only one thing to do now and that was to negotiate with him… I didn't want to find out the hard way in two weeks when he took drastic measures. Plus I had no money for a lawyer. Fuck it! I dialed his number.He picked up on one ring.“I was just thinking about you,” His deep, throaty, velvety voice washed over me like the hot summer waves of the ocean.I paused at the impact it had on me and frowned.“No doubt trying to find a way to destroy me.” I quipped.He sighed and I heard him shift around.“I have no intention of destroying you, Lexi. If anything… I want you.”“Well, I don't.”“That's a lie.”
