All Chapters of MARRIED TO THE COLD BILLIONAIRE : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

CHAPTER 81: GABRIELLE'S GAME FAILSThe photo on Jeremy's tablet burned into my brain. That face, those cold calculating eyes staring directly at the security camera like they knew we'd find this eventually."No." The word came out strangled. "That's not possible.""Kate—" William started but I cut him off."Call Mr Howard. Now." My hands wouldn't stop shaking. "Send him this photo, ask if he recognizes them."Liam already had his phone out. "On it."I couldn't look away from the screen. Couldn't process what I was seeing."How long have they been working with the SE?" William's voice was ice."Based on these files?" Emma scrolled through documents. "At least five years. Maybe longer.""Five years." I laughed but it came out broken. "We trusted them. I trusted them."My phone rang. Mr Howard, calling back faster than expected."Kate, where did you get that photo?" His voice shook."Donovan's encrypted files. You know who this is?""I do." He exhaled shakily. "And if they're part of the

CHAPTER 83: SE DOWNFALLMr Howard's countryside mansion felt like something out of a gothic novel. All stone walls and heavy curtains, isolated enough that you could scream and nobody would hear.Perfect for hiding. Or for being trapped.William was discharged three days after the snake bite, his arm still bandaged but the doctors said he'd heal completely. We packed up and drove out here with Liam, Tina, Jeremy and Emma following in separate cars.That was two weeks ago.Two weeks of nothing but silence and waiting. No attacks, no threatening calls, no mysterious parcels. Just quiet that felt more dangerous than any cobra."This is driving me crazy." I paced Mr Howard's study while everyone else sat around pretending to read or work. "They're out there planning something and we're just sitting here.""We're being smart." William closed his laptop. "Staying alive.""We're being sitting ducks." I turned to Mr Howard who sat by the fireplace. "You said they were coming for us. When?""I

CHAPTER 85: THE WEDDING REDOI woke up to William already dressed in a suit, which was weird because it was Saturday and he'd promised no work this weekend."Why are you wearing that?" I squinted at him through sleepy eyes."We have somewhere to be." He looked nervous, which was even weirder. William didn't do nervous."Where? My calendar is empty.""Trust me." He held out his hand. "Get dressed. Something nice."I wanted to argue but something in his face stopped me. He looked excited and scared at the same time.Tina showed up twenty minutes later with a garment bag and a suspicious smile."What's happening?" I asked as she hustled me into the bathroom."You'll see. Now shower, I'll do your hair and makeup.""Tina—""No questions. Just trust us."An hour later I was wearing a dress I'd never seen before. Cream colored, flowing, perfect for my growing belly. Tina had done something magical with my hair and I actually looked like myself again, not the exhausted pregnant woman I'd been

CHAPTER 87: A FRESH START"Fire exits!" Liam shouted over the alarms. "There's a stairwell at the east end.""That's through the smoke." William pulled off his jacket and pressed it over my mouth and nose. "Everyone stay low."Sarah's laughter cut through the chaos. "You really think you're getting out of here? I planned for everything.""Shut her up." Jeremy grabbed her arm, twisting it behind her back. "Or I throw you toward the flames first."Her smile finally cracked."Emma, the servers." I grabbed her sleeve even as William tried pulling me toward the exit. "If they burn, we lose everything.""Kate, you're six months pregnant." Tina appeared through the smoke, her shirt over her face. "We're not dying for computer files.""Those files prove my innocence." I coughed, my lungs burning. "Without them—""Already backed up." Emma held up a small drive. "Did it this morning when we found the first irregularities. Every transaction, every email, every piece of evidence is on here."Reli

CHAPTER 89: THE FIRST MOMENTSThey finally let us take Evelyn back to our private room after six hours of observation. Six hours of watching her breathe through monitors and wires, of nurses assuring us she was fine while my heart refused to believe it."Ready to hold her?" The NICU nurse, Patricia, smiled at William. "Dad's turn."He'd been hovering since we got to the hospital but hadn't actually held her yet. Now he looked terrified."I don't know how." His voice came out rough. "What if I drop her?""You won't." I was already exhausted but seeing him scared made me smile. "She's tougher than she looks."Patricia showed him how to support Evelyn's head, how to cradle her against his chest. The moment she settled in his arms, his whole face changed."Oh." It came out as barely a whisper. "She's so light.""Five pounds three ounces." I reminded him. "That's actually good for premature."But William wasn't listening. He was staring at Evelyn like she was the only thing that existed. S
