Semua Bab Billionaire's Firecracker : Bab 31 - Bab 40

 Liam walked out of the room after having a door slammed in his face. He gripped his phone tightly, almost snapping it in half, as he descended the dimly lit stairs. He had a sudden urge to strangle Melisa for her wrong timing! Did she have to send that message at that moment? It wasn’t like he could forget that stupid dinner anyway. Thinking about it was enough to give him constipation. He has been thinking of ways to get out of it without raising suspicion from any of them. Melisa just ruined his perfect moment, which he had found with such difficulty.He hadn’t been able to sleep ever since Anna left him, and meeting her today reminded him of what he couldn’t let go of. She was his. Anna had to be his. He was willing to risk everything just to have her by his side again.He brought his other hand to touch his lips, feeling the remnants of her warmth on him. The memory of their bodies tangled a few minutes ago made his hear

In the week that followed, Anna spent her time searching for the best divorce lawyer in the city. Her hopes of going the amicable way had been crushed time and time again when Liam refused to sign those papers willingly. It was partly her fault, too, for always giving in to his advances instead of standing by her decision. This method would cost her time and money, and, in addition, there was still a possibility of losing the lawsuit. Settling her divorce in court was a more complicated method she would have rather avoided if she had had a choice.In her search, she had quickly realized how much influence Liam had in this city. Every lawyer she had met so far had chickened out as soon as they heard they were going against the great Liam Parker. And the only lawyer who wasn’t afraid of him asked for an astronomical fee that was way beyond her budget.Anna sat in the coffee shop feeling defeated as she watched another lawyer walk out of their meeting after hearing

Anna hesitantly sat down in the black swivel chair, her fingers clutching the armrest. Her back stiffened just by looking at Liam’s mood shift. Something was terribly wrong. And something to do with her. Was she in trouble? What did she do? Was there something he wasn’t telling her? what? Had she misunderstood him? What if there was more to the whole situation than him merely playing games with her?“I’m listening,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper, and her fingers still tightly wrapped around the armrest.“Yes, it is true that I had your money transferred to my account.” He clasped hands again, leaning his elbows on the table. “They did call me and I approved it because, apparently, all your accounts are frozen. That means you cannot send, receive, or withdraw money in any of your accounts for the next 180 days.”  “My accounts are frozen?” shock spread on her face as the informati

Anna woke up to soft music playing in the background. Her skin felt fresh and not as sticky and sweaty as it was before she passed out. She still remembered the mysterious knock, the bloody photos, and nothing after that. How did she get into bed? Why did she have fresh clothes on? What happened? How long had she been out for?The bed dipped beside her, and she turned her face to check out the intruder, but her eyes widened instead. Liam sat beside her, his hand holding an old photo of an enchanting young woman squatting in a field of flowers, her arms wrapped around a little girl. The little girl leaned against the woman’s chest, her tiny hands reaching out to her face. Those two were so adorable.“Mom?” Anna blurted out before she could stop herself, her brows furrowing in confusion. “How?“You are awake,” Liam said, putting the photo aside and looking at her with unmistakable concern. “How are you feeling?”

“Are you sure about this?” Anna asked, watching Jessica stuff her necessities into a small bag. After taking painkillers, her head wasn’t hurting much, but she felt tired and sleepy. She had been here for barely a month, and she was moving out again. Everything had been going wrong in her life recently.She had watched a lot of K-dramas and all of them said people glow after a divorce. Why was her story so different? Nothing was going according to script. She wasn’t even done with the possibility of ending up in jail, and now she had to worry about another creep showing up with more bloody images. Where did she go wrong? She was barely doing well without him. “Jessica, you were the one against my marriage in the first place.”“That was before a random dude showed up at my door with a bloody photo.” Jessicca folded and shoved her clothes into her bag. “I wouldn’t advise it, but let’s be practical here, Anna. What if that guy shows up here again? What are we going to do? What options do
