Semua Bab The Billionaire's Forced Bride : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Chapter 71 The Ghost Lawyer's FileDamian's POVI sat in my office staring at the empty space where Amara used to be and the silence was so loud it felt like it was crushing me. My assistant knocked on the door and poked her head in and said "Mr Kane do you need anything?""No. Close the door on your way out," I said.She left and I spun my chair around to face the window. I looked out at the city below and thought about how I had everything money could buy, but none of it mattered because the only thing I wanted was gone. Gradually, I was winning her back.I turned back to my desk and opened the bottom drawer where I kept files that nobody else was supposed to see. I pulled out a thick manila folder that said "Benson Estate" on the tab.I had not looked at this file in years because every time I did it reminded me of what a terrible person I was. I had been lying to Amara since the day we met without even knowing it.I opened the folder and saw Caroline's signature on the contract.

Chapter 73The Manual Labor of LoveDamian's POVThree days later, I showed up at the safe house the next morning with my toolbox and a bag full of baby proofing supplies I bought from the hardware store. When Amara opened the door, she looked surprised to see me standing there without bodyguards or security detail."What are you doing here?" she asked."You said the heater in the baby's room wasn't working right. I came to fix it," I said."I mentioned that in passing three days ago. You remember that?" she asked."I remember everything you tell me Amara. Can I come in?" I asked.She stepped aside and I walked in carrying my toolbox and the bag of supplies. I set them down in the living room."Where's the baby?" I asked."She's napping upstairs. Maria is with her," she said."Good. I'll start with the heater and then I want to baby proof the rest of the house. I noticed last time I was here that there are sharp corners on the coffee table and no covers on the electrical outlets," I s

Chapter 75The Anonymous ShieldDamian's POVI was in my office going through the Benson Estate files when my phone rang. It was my security contact telling me that two men had been seen outside Amara's house taking photos and asking neighbors questions about who lived there."What do they look like?" I asked."Both of them are wearing dark clothes. One has a scar on his left cheek. They've been there for about thirty minutes. Should I send someone to check it out?" he said."Yes. But tell them to stay back and just observe. I don't want Amara to know anyone is watching her place," I said."Got it. I'll keep you updated," he said and hung up.I pulled up the security camera footage from the street near her house and saw the two men standing across the road with a camera. They were definitely watching her place and waiting for something.My jaw clenched because I knew exactly who sent them and why they were there.I picked up my phone and called my investigator. "I need you to find out

Chapter 77 The Night VigilDamian's POVI parked my car down the street from Amara's house at eleven at night. I could not sleep knowing she was upset and alone after what happened at Benson Corp. Even though she told me to stay away, I needed to make sure she was safe.The rain started falling around midnight and it got heavier as the hours went by. I did not turn on the car or leave because leaving meant she would be unprotected and I could not do that.I watched the lights in her house go off one by one until only the porch light was left on. I knew she had gone to bed and I hoped she was sleeping better than I was.My phone rang at one in the morning and it was my assistant asking if I was okay. I had missed three meetings that afternoon and I told her I was fine and hung up.The rain was coming down so hard now that I could barely see the house through my windshield. I kept watching anyway because if anyone tried to approach the house, I would see them and I would stop them befo

Chapter 79The Double LifeDamian's POVI was sitting at my desk going through paperwork when my personal phone rang. I almost did not answer but something told me I should."Hello?" I said."Is this Mr Ray?" a woman's voice asked and it took me a second to realize it was Amara.My heart started pounding because I did not expect her to track down this number. I quickly reached for the voice scrambler device I kept in my desk drawer for situations like this."Who is this?" I asked after turning on the scrambler which made my voice sound robotic and unrecognizable."My name is Amara Benson. I got this number from someone who said you could help me with a legal problem involving Caroline Benson," she said."I'm familiar with Caroline. What's the problem?" I asked and hated that I had to disguise my voice while talking to her."Her daughter Sisi just threatened to call child protective services and claim I'm an unfit mother. She said Caroline has connections and they're going to try to ta
