บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Detective: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

ROSEHe grabs my hand, trying to drag my phone from me."You sure you want to do this?" He knows better than to pick a fight with me. I used to consider the fact that we were married, but now, if he dares raise a hand on me... I'll make sure he doesn't get to use it ever again."Don't take it easy on her, Killian... If she refuses to delete the file, then don't let her leave!" my dad blurts.I turn to face him, stare at him for a while, then hiss, "You think I'll let him go free if he dares lay a hand on me?" I ask.My dad opens his mouth to say something but ends up saying nothing; he sighs, adjusting his eyeglasses."See what I was telling you all? It has gotten to the point of her challenging Dad... she's not willing to delete the file despite everything Dad said," Marie says. Bold of her to think I'd delete it... I've made up my mind to deal with the both of them, and not even my dad can stop me."The last time you tried this, you know how it ended, right?" Killian slowly lets go

ROSE I lead Dante out after we come out.I still can't believe she manages to show us an entirely different kid. Now Dante is disappointed because the child we just saw clearly shares not even the slightest resemblance with his son.Jessica keeps making funny faces at me as we are leaving. For a while, I have to pause and think, and the only conclusion I come to is they know I am investigating the kid. Now I wish I had secretly continued the investigation instead of tagging Dante along.I can't get the thought of how Jessica manages to know I am going to bring Dante out of my mind. Am I that daft?It's so obvious that Dante is mad at me. Back then, he doesn't say a word, but his face tells it all. He's totally disappointed in me. Now that they've known what we have planned against them, they'll play along perfectly. Now it will be harder."You should be more observant next time, Rose. This child looks nothing like my son. We just came here to waste our time," Dante tells me as we wal

ROSEDays pass, and the news only gets tougher. Killian's company goes down the drain in a matter of days; all his business partners withdraw their shares, claiming they can't stand a man who sleeps with two sisters. More like they've been waiting to do it all along, but hell, it's not my business.Marie, on the other hand, suffers a similar fate. The billion-dollar deal she has with a popular nightwear company is terminated.All her fans turn their backs on her; they call her names. Only a few of her hardcore fans manage to stand by her. I only see her once, and I must confess, she loses almost half of her flesh. I mean, who wouldn't with the tension hitting from left, right, and center? She's on the verge of losing it.That day, my mom at first thinks she can force me into changing my mind about suing them in court, but I'm not having it. Then there's my dad; he threatens to disown me if I don't drop the case, thinking I'll start begging or moping.When they see I'm not ready to bac

ROSE "I hereby declare Killian Powell and Mariegold Webster guilty of the offense they've been charged with!"The court becomes dead silent. I turn to face my mom, and just like I expect, she's in tears.Their lawyer raises her hands in objection, but unfortunately, the judge isn't buying it.*After the judge leaves, some policemen come with handcuffs. They cuff them and walk them out.My mom runs after the policemen, who can't help but stop.Of all places, they choose to stand beside me."I'm so sorry, Marie. It's all my fault for not being able to protect you. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me," my mom tells Marie, who still has that proud look. Not like I give a fuck though."Yeah, Marie, it's our fault for raising your sister this way. But not to worry, we'll make sure...""You'd make sure what happens? You'd make sure you deal with me? Now you blame me for failing to raise her properly? She stole my husband, for God's sake! She betrayed me first, so why can't I go

ROSEI adjust my face cap properly immediately I step down from the plane.I have to leave Arabella with my best friend Chloe because the crazy lady upstairs might want to break into my house in my absence.As I walk, I feel a pair of eyes on me, and I can't shake it off. The eyes follow me literally everywhere until I board a cab to take me to the hostel where I will be spending the night.I rest my head tiredly while he drives. The driver has a cap on, just like me, and that increases my curiosity. I've caught him a few times staring at me from the rearview mirror, and each time he notices I'm staring at him, he quickly looks away.I wait patiently for him to get to a busy place, then I tell him I'll be stopping here.At first, he refuses, claiming we aren't at the hotel yet, but when I show him the gun I have at my waist, he's forced to stop. You might be wondering how I manage to hold the gun without getting any complaint from the plane attendants or anyone else. It's actually bec
