Bride of the Billionaire Beast のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Without a doubt, it was the best escape for their little family. Bas joined them on weekends—always showing up with a new girl—and no matter how often Alexandra reminded him that he needed to settle down, that didn't look like it was going to happen anytime soon. "Remember, baby?" Scott said softly one night after dinner, as they watched the sunset together. "We came here when I got my U.S. residency, when they told me I could stay." Alexandra's eyes sparkled at that beautiful memory. "Yes, I was so excited and you were crazy with happiness," Allie replied. "But just for the record—it wasn't only because we had managed to fulfill your part of the contract!" Scott teased. "Can I be honest with you?" Alexandra frowned slightly, giving him a cautious smile. "Go on..." "I wasn't happy about the residency or about tricking the immigration officer... I was happy because you were happy," he said with a smile, looking up at the sky. "I remember you running down the main hall of t

He knelt in front of her and smiled. "Yes, love, it's a model you can drive using only your hands," he explained. "We had it built especially for you, though I know that soon enough you'll be leaving everyone else behind once you're back on the track." "Thank you, love!" she said, unable to stop the tears from spilling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe it. Scott leaned closer and kissed her lips. "I love you, Allie," he whispered. "Never doubt it. When I said I'd do anything for you, I meant it. Now come on—let's go for a ride." He helped her into the car, secured her in place, then climbed into the passenger seat. He had even had a small Fiorano-style track built for her, and though at first Alexandra drove carefully as she got used to the car, soon enough they were flying down the track with the same wild energy as always. For Alexandra, this was more than just a gift; it was a symbol of Scott's love and of everything he meant to her. She knew she would treasure this

"I love you!" Alexandra exclaimed, full of emotion. "Then practice with me. Come here." Scott stretched out his arms, but Alexandra hesitated. He was more than four meters away, and she didn't want her first attempt to end with her falling flat on her face in that dress. She shook her head, and Scott took a few steps closer. "Come on, Allie. You have to trust me," he encouraged. "How are you going to marry me if you don't walk toward me?" "If I fall..." "I'll pick you up. And if not, I'll lie down on the ground with you. Either way, we'll be together," Scott said with a smile. "Please, come." Alexandra gathered her courage, let go of her support, and stood on her own, balancing for a full minute as if trying to figure out how to take that first step... but finally, she did it. She moved her foot forward, and the world stopped as she began to walk. One step per minute, but Scott's eyes filled with tears as she covered half the distance. "What do you think?" Alexandra ask

If she was honest, Alexandra had to admit that what had kept her going all along was the hope of walking again. But she also knew that even greater courage belonged to all those who, knowing they would never walk again, still managed to push forward from their chairs. So, from that moment on, Diamond Fast opened a special research division run by and for people with disabilities, designing and building all kinds of useful items for them—from wheelchairs to cars they could drive with only their hands—giving them greater independence and autonomy. Scott had decided to finance this division through their video games, which made the launch of the first one, nearly six months later, nerve-wracking for him. "Baby, everything's going to be fine," Alexandra reassured him as she straightened his bow tie. "I know, I know, but I'm anxious," he smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her. "The funding for the new prosthetic arms depends on this, so I really hope we can raise a

Leticia sighed sadly. "I saw it on the news. That she kidnapped your daughter." Leticia shook her head wearily before sitting down. "I don't even know how to look you in the eye. I don't know where to start apologizing, and honestly I don't think it would do any good. I don't want to believe I raised a monster, because I raised you too, and you turned out fine..." she murmured, her eyes filling with tears. "But I suppose at this point there's nothing I can do." "Do you know if he... if Uncle Milton knew what Albert and Claudia were planning? About killing me?" Leticia wiped her face and shook her head. "I don't know. Milton always denied it... but there comes a point when, if you can't even believe your own daughter, you can't believe anyone anymore. I'm so sorry for everything that happened, Allie. I swear I wish I could've spared you all of it." Alexandra looked around at the man sitting in that chair, completely absent, and then at her aunt. It was true—Leticia had raised
