All Chapters of The Billionaire Replaced Me With My Assistant : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Emma's POVThe knocks on the bathroom door were so forceful I nearly dropped Patrick's phone."Emma! Get out here right now!" my mother's voice came shrilly from the other side.My hands were shaking so badly I could barely hold the phone.I needed to take pictures of those documents, bank statements, reports, the photos... everything. It was the proof that my mother was involved in something very wrong, with the same people connected to Sophia."Just thirty more seconds," I whispered to myself, trying to control my breathing.I heard my mother arguing with someone in the hallway. "Where are the keys for this door, you incompetents!? I need to get in, my daughter isn't well!" she was saying to some nurse.The banging started again. "If you don't come out in five seconds, I'm calling security!"Desperate, I stashed the documents in the hiding spot I'd found behind the sink, flushed the toilet, and splashed water on my face.I needed to seem confused, disoriented... the poor amnesia vi

Sophia's POV"My God, Emma!" My legs went weak. The floor seemed to move beneath my feet. "We have to go. Now."Michael moved quickly, blocking my path to the door. "Wait, Soph. We can't just go like this, without a plan.""Without a plan?" My voice trembled with disbelief. "Michael, she's in danger! Her own mother is involved with the people who have been tormenting our lives!""Exactly!" He held my shoulders, his eyes serious. "If we go in there like two mad people, we could make everything worse. We need to think."Tears were streaming down my face now, hot and furious. "There's no time to think! Every minute we stay here is a minute she's there, trapped with that... that woman!"I tried to get past him, but he didn't move."Love, please. I completely understand you, but let's stop for five minutes and plan this. You yourself said her mother has allies at the hospital. If we show up there fighting, they might just stop us at the entrance.""So what do you suggest?" My words came

Sophia's POVInside the limousine, a total silence fell. You could feel the weight of the tense situation in the air.Yussuf seemed to have turned into a statue, he was so still, his eyes fixed on Alexander, who was still outside the door.Alexander's voice cut through the silence. He didn't shout, but every word sounded like an order that could not be disobeyed."Open this damn door now!"Yussuf let out a dry laugh, but you could see his hands were trembling slightly. "You're a dead man, you know? No one does this to us and lives to tell the tale."Alexander's eyes, which hadn't left me, narrowed. He smiled, a smile that for some reason I never forgot. "On the contrary. The only dead man here today will be you if this door doesn't open. Now."At that moment, one of Alexander's men pressed the barrel of a pistol against the window glass, right at the level of Yussuf's head. The sound was muffled, but frightening. It was the final warning.Yussuf took a deep breath. He looked at me for

Michael's POVThe first thing I felt was a weight, a throbbing in my temples that beat in sync with my racing heart. My mouth was dry, with a sour taste, as if I'd swallowed dust. When I opened my eyes, my vision was slow to focus. The street lights were blurry smudges, and the inside of the car smelled of my own sweat and a strange, sweet, chemical perfume, the smell of the cloth they had used to knock me out."Shit," I murmured, trying to get my bearings. I was in the passenger seat of my own car, parked on a dark side street. My hands were trembling slightly.I grabbed my phone and dialed the only number that could help me in this situation."Patrick," I said when he answered, my voice still hoarse."Mate, glad you called," Patrick's voice sounded from the other end, somewhat surprised. "I've got Emma here, I managed to get her out of the hospital. We're at my apartment."My heart leaped in my chest. "Emma... she's free? Is she okay?" The news brought the first ray of hope on thi

Sophia's POV Irina moved with terrifying efficiency. In one single, fluid motion, before my nervous system could even register the threat, the cold tip of the knife was already pointed against my vein."You naive fool," her whisper was laced with contempt, the tip of the knife pressing right where my accelerated pulse was visible under the skin.Alexander froze, the weapon still aimed at Irina, but his expression was now one of pure panic, every muscle in his body seemed tense to the limit."One single step, Reed," Irina warned, her voice low but full of threat, "and your beloved heiress will learn to breathe through a straw."Irina laughed – a low, triumphant sound that came out as a whisper close to my ear. "Did you really think I would trust a loaded weapon in a negotiation like this?"Her words were soft, but the knife she now pressed against my throat was relentless. "I'm disappointed in you, Miss Morgan, after so many months of knowing me."Alexander kept the unloaded gun point
