บททั้งหมดของ Bride of the Billionaire Beast: บทที่ 231 - บทที่ 240

He finished undressing and slowly undressed Max as well. A lump rose in his throat when he realized she was thinner than he remembered—but every curve of her body was still just as beautiful, and Liam couldn't help but smile, biting his lower lip when he found himself face-to-face with the lovely curve of her belly. He touched it gently, but he couldn't stop his body from reacting to her the way it always had—just the sight of her was enough. One thing hadn't changed: he was crazy about his woman. He felt her warm lips on his, and suddenly he was taken back to the first time they'd been together. But the passion now burned even deeper—because now, there was love. Slowly, they let the hot water from the shower wash over them, easing the tension from their bodies. They held each other tightly, desire growing between them as the water poured over their skin like a blessing, wrapping them in a protective bubble where nothing else existed but the two of them. "I love you," they both s

Max let out a soft sigh and nodded. She'd known that phone call might give her away, but she'd hoped it would only be to Liam. "Yes, it was me. The cargo ship never came, and I got scared. I thought something had happened to you." Liam took a deep breath before pulling her into his arms and telling her the rest of what had happened during that time. "The ship never came because the company doesn't exist anymore, Max." Max looked at Liam in disbelief. She knew how much that company meant to his family. "What do you mean?" she whispered, her heart starting to pound in her chest. "When you disappeared, I realized there was no point in staying. It wasn't what I wanted. I'd been living such a hollow life before you came into it… I didn't know how to keep going. But when I thought you were dead and when I found out it was my father's fault…" Max swallowed hard. She understood instantly. A chill ran down her spine. "What did you do, Liam?" she asked in a shaky voice. Liam lo

When winter finally hit in full force, the snow piled up almost to the edge of the windows. The days inside the cabin became long and drowsy, but Liam did his best to keep Max moving—building snowmen outside the front door or helping her climb out the windows just to play in the snow. "Whoa, God! You're heavy!" he exclaimed as he scooped her up in his arms. Max pouted. "What did you just say?!" "That you're heavy. That kid's gonna be huge. It's not you, love, it's him," Liam grinned, caressing her belly while Max gave him a look that promised she was this close to swatting him with a broom. Still, putting the jokes aside, Max used the rest of winter to keep training him. Things were different now as it wasn't just about the two of them anymore. Protecting the baby had to come first. So eventually, they would have to decide what came next. "This place is beautiful," Liam murmured. "But we can't hide forever, Liam. That's not the life I want for our child. I don't want them g

Liam kissed her lips and looked at her with so much tenderness that Max completely melted. "I love you, Max. I love both of you. And no matter what I have to do, I'll always protect you. I promise," he whispered, pressing his forehead to hers. But unfortunately, there are promises that, no matter how much we mean them, are not so easy to keep. Promises that must be broken—even if doing so breaks our hearts in the process. And the truth was that neither Liam nor Max could imagine what, at that very moment, was being set in motion against them. To understand it, we have to go back a few months—back to the moment when Garrett Harrington watched his life's work get completely destroyed by Cassian Wolf. It was true that Harrington Corporation was publicly traded and anyone could buy shares, but the majority had always belonged to the family. Garrett never imagined, not even for a second, that his son could've acquired enough to determine the fate of the entire company. And selling i

For Colonel Alcott, Max was dead and buried. His right hand, Priscilla, had told him so. She'd handed over that photo. So not only he, but even she and Travis looked stunned. "What the hell is this?!" Alcott roared, staring at Max, and Priscilla shook her head desperately. "She was dead… I swear we killed her!" Priscilla exclaimed, knowing just how dangerous it was to fail the colonel. "I left her in a dumpster," Travis added, stunned. But Alcott didn't have time for their excuses as he had to prioritize. He was there for Liam Harrington and his eight hundred million, but seeing Max alive was a complication he needed to handle as quickly as possible. He barked an order to his men, and within seconds, Max was forced to her knees, her hands tied behind her back with plastic cuffs. Clearly, they saw her as the greater threat. Liam clenched his jaw as someone pointed a gun at her head, and a woman stepped in to take the baby from his arms. Derrick started crying immediately.
