All Chapters of Her Price, His Obsession (A Billionaire dark Romance): Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Danielle and Kate returned to the house early the next morning.Selene, who hadn't slept a wink, rushed toward them the moment they stepped inside."What happened?" she asked anxiously. "Are they okay?"They both nodded."They're out of danger," Kate replied. "And currently recovering”She nudged Danielle.It was time.Danielle swallowed hard."...But we have something else to tell you."Selene frowned."The truth is..."Danielle took a deep breath."What happened?" Selene's voice rose. "You just said they're out of danger. What other truth? Stop stalling and tell me!"Danielle flinched. "Your mother..."Selene's heart tightened."My mother?" Her voice trembled. "D-Did something happen to her? Stop saying one word at a time. What happened to my mother? Is she hurt? Is she wounded?"Danielle squeezed her eyes shut before blurting it out."She did this to Bella... and she almost killed Ava."Selene froze.Her eyes widened in disbelief."What?"She grabbed Danielle's hands, forcing her t

Another month passed.Nolan had fully recovered and finally landed in Australia.He had tried calling Ava countless times, but none of his calls went through.Nolan thought maybe he was already too late.Still, he would beg for her forgiveness. None of what had happened had been his fault.As for his mother...He had stripped Beatrice of every position she held in the family business and frozen all her accounts.Charity had pleaded with him not to send their mother to prison.For her sake—and because she had stayed by his side throughout his recovery—he agreed.But from that day forward, Beatrice would earn her own money.She was a pauper in her own home.And, in Nolan's opinion...That was exactly what she deserved.Not long after, Nolan's car pulled up in front of Ava's house.He stepped out.The security guard's eyes widened in surprise."Sir?""How is Ava?" Nolan asked anxiously. "Is she... alright?, I can't reach her."Just then, Evelyn stepped out of the house.The moment she sa

Nolan knew he still had a lot to explain to Ava, but before he could say another word, the door opened.Selene, Draven, Kate, and Danielle stepped into the room.The moment Danielle saw Ava sitting up, her eyes widened."Oh my God! Nolan, you psycho! You didn't tell us!" she cried."Calm down, Danielle," Ava said with a small smile. "I don't want my child picking up your habit of cursing."Danielle pouted. "You just woke up and already chose violence... and you picked me for it."Ava let out a soft laugh. "Aren't you happy?""I am."Danielle leaned toward the baby and did a little coochie-coochie-coo, making everyone smile."Welcome back to the land of the living," Draven said as he placed the bouquet beside Ava's bed.Ava nodded. "Thank you."Her smile faded as she looked around the room."But seriously now... where's Bella?"Her eyes moved from one face to another."And Nancy? Didn't they come with you to see me?"Selene bit her lip, her expression turning sour.Ava's heart tightene

Mirabel had just finished her shower. Sitting in front of the dressing table, she dried and combed her hair.A moment later, Kelvin walked into the bedroom. Fresh from his own shower, he looked relaxed, though there was a quiet heaviness in his expression. He sat on the edge of the bed.Mirabel guessed he had just finished putting Theo to sleep.She continued brushing her hair, feeling his gaze linger on her."Have you eaten?" he asked."Yes," she replied with a small smile. "I ate at Ava's place. Sorry I wasn't here when you got back."Kelvin shook his head. "Oh, no. It's not a problem."She nodded and swept her hair over one shoulder, exposing the smooth curve of her back. Reaching behind herself, she fumbled with the ties of her nightdress, pretending they were giving her more trouble than they really were.Kelvin swallowed. "Let me help you."She smiled. "Okay."He rose from the bed and walked over to her. Standing behind her, he met her eyes through the mirror before lowering his

Draven had already jerked off three times while staring at Selene's picture.With a frustrated sigh, he picked up his phone and called her, but she didn't answer.He tossed the phone onto the bed and ran a hand through his hair.He missed her so much. He missed her random, ridiculous comments, the way she'd say the funniest things with such an innocent face... and the way she'd look at him afterward as if she'd done nothing wrong."I'm going to Paris," he muttered. "I can't take this anymore."Control yourself. There's only one day left. Do it for Lucian, a voice in his head reminded him.Draven groaned."Yeah, because somehow another man's proposal has become my top priority.”********Ava sat by the pool, enjoying the warm Paris breeze. It was the last day of their trip.Tonight was the night.Lucian was flying in to propose to Bella, and it was up to her to make sure Bella arrived on time without suspecting a thing.Across from her, Bella sipped her wine, looking completely relaxed
