All Chapters of MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Julian's POVThere are moments when a man knows exactly what he has to do to save himself and the one he loves, this was one of them.The hall had dissolved into chaos. Some members shouted over one another.Others were trying to force open the doors before Lucien barked at them to stop. Guards rushed back and forth, searching desperately for another exit.Nobody had found one. The threat remained where it was.I looked around the room and saw the fourteen Brotherhood members, nearly thirty guards.My eyes found Aurora’s immediately.She was standing exactly where I had left her, gripping the edge of the dining table so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.She looked terrified and kept on shaking her head at me, I recognized that look.I'd seen it once before, the day she'd thought my car had exploded. I turned away before she noticed I was looking."Lucien."He was beside me instantly. "What?""Tell me exactly what you've found."He handed me a tablet that one of the securit

Aurora's POVThree days, it’s been three endless days. Three days of waking up hoping someone would knock on my door and tell me they'd found him.Three days of eating food that tasted like nothing.Three days of staring out the window, waiting for a black car to pull into the driveway.It never did and the mansion had changed. The servants whispered whenever they saw me and guards constantly came and went.Lucien barely slept.Every few hours he disappeared into his office to take another call before returning with the same answer.Nothing, no sign of Julian, no body and no evidence.I didn't know if that was a blessing or a curse. I was sitting in the library with one of Julian's books open on my lap when I heard footsteps.It was Lucien and he looked exhausted. His tie hung loose around his neck as dark circles rested beneath his eyes.He held a satellite phone in one hand. "Aurora."I looked up slowly and his expression was different."Take this." My heart skipped. "What is it?"

Aurora’s pov I traced my fingers along the edge of the bandage wrapped around Julian’s arms, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. He pulled away from the kiss and the only soundin the room was our breathing. The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of the bedside lamp and the moonlight filtering through the half-drawn curtains. “Aurora you’re driving me to the edge” he whispered “Then fall with me” Iwhispered, my voice barely above a breath. I was straddling his hips on the bed, careful not to put any weight on his injured side. I silenced him with a kiss, slow and deep, pouring every ounce of pent-up longing into it. His hand came up to cup the back of my neck, his fingers threading through my hair, but he didn’t pull me down harder. He was holding back, always so damn careful with me. I pulled back just enough to look at him, my lips tingling. “I want you. All of you. Just… go slow.”A faint smile tugged at his mouth, the kind that made my stomach flip

Aurora's POVThe food in front of me had gone cold. I hadn't touched it in at least ten minutes."You're not eating." He said I looked down at my plate. "I'm thinking.""You hardly do that." He said and I glared at him.He took another bite of his food, completely unfazed. I picked up my fork and stabbed a piece of potato."You know, you're really annoying."We were sitting at the small dining table in the hotel suite Lucien had arranged for us. It wasn't as grand as Julian's mansion.I liked that.It felt more normal.More like a place where two people could simply sit down and have dinner without an army of guards waiting outside.For the first time in days, I felt almost peaceful but there was still something I didn't understand and sonething Julian had been avoiding.I put my fork down. "Julian."He immediately looked at me. "Yes?""How did you survive?" His expression changed and he leaned back in his chair. "I told you I'd explain everything.""Yes."He was quiet for a moment

Aurora's POVThere was a arm body ome mine, I sighed and snuggled deeper, then I felt Julian's arm draped loosely around my waist.I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the morning light that filtered through the curtains.For a moment, I simply lay there.Listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing and the distant hum of traffic outside.The quiet stillness of the hotel room. I turned my head carefully and Julian was still asleep.His dark hair was slightly messy, and for once the lines of tension that always seemed to crease his face were gone.He looked so handsome and less stressed than when he was the feared Capo everyone spoke about.He was just Julian now. The man who annoyed me and protected me.Loved me.A small smile found its way onto my face. Without thinking, I reached up and brushed a loose strand of hair away from his forehead.His eyes opened immediately."So," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep, "were you planning to stare at me all morning?"I jumped.
