All Chapters of The Billionaire's Binding Proposal: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Chapter 202~Kesley~I was pissed.And that is an understatement.We had barely stepped out of the car before the mood shifted. The whole ride back had been silent and tense. He walked behind me all the way to the suite without saying a word. I could feel his eyes on my back.I told myself to stay calm. To be rational.But the moment that door closed behind us, I turned around."What was that?" I asked."What was what?" He shot back. His voice was calm, almost too calm. But I could see it in his jaw. In the way he stood. He was angry too."You were rude," I said. "We went out. It was supposed to be nice. And then you just shut down on me. You stopped talking. You stopped looking at me.""Because you stopped looking at me first."I blinked. "What?""You heard me, Kesley." He took a step forward. "We were supposed to be out together. You and me. But the moment you saw them, I stopped existing.""That is not true. I was just talking….""You were smiling at him." His voice cracked a littl

Chapter 204 ~Rebecca~People called me many things.A sweet woman. Daughter of Jackson Specter. I was far from it. I had been quiet for days now. Staying low, keeping my name out of conversations, letting everyone assume I had accepted the way things turned out. The wedding. The honeymoon. The grand plan grandfather had been building around Niklaus like a throne.Let them think I had given up.I hadn't even started.---I had the driver follow her mother.It started at the hospital. I already had someone on the inside, nothing dramatic, just a contact who owed me a favour. They pulled what they could. Basic information. Nothing that would ruin anyone on its own, but enough to point me in a direction.The real gold was always in the details people did not think to hide.We followed the woman from the hospital all the way across town. The car turned into a narrow street. Then another. Then we slowed down in front of a small, ugly looking house tucked between two others just like it.

Chapter 206~Kesley~I had not in a million years thought I would be able to visit Bali this soon. And I did not know I was going to be this scared if water. Here I was, waist deep in the Ayung River, wearing a helmet that was at least two sizes too big for my head, holding a paddle like I had any idea what I was doing with it.White water rafting. Of all the things grandfather had included on this itinerary, this was the one I had looked at and thought, that one is definitely not for us. Niklaus and I had looked at what was scheduled next. This was just to ensure we get experience and have fun. So we will not really be confused on what to do or where to go. Niklaus choose the raftig and I had said fine. Why I didn't say no, I am also wondering."Paddle left!" The guide at the back of the raft shouted.I paddled left. Or what I thought was left. The raft lurched sideways and I grabbed the rope along the side with one hand and kept paddling with the other and somewhere behind me Nik

Chapter 208~Fred~Few hours agoI had been back in my apartment when grandfather called.Taraji had finally settled. I had stayed until her breathing evened out and her grip on the mug I had made her loosened and she had told me twice that she was fine, which she showed that she was sleepily and then she slept.I had let myself out quietly and crossed the hall to my own door. Dropping a note.I had been sitting at my desk, jacket off, going through the agent's background file on my laptop when my phone rang.Grandfather Specter.I picked it up immediately. "Good evening sir.""Fred." His voice was cold and unsettling. "Are you busy?""Not at all. What can I do for you?""Come to the house. I want to see you."I looked at the time. Just past eight. "Of course. I will be there in twenty minutes.""Good boy," he said, and hung up.I closed the laptop, put my jacket back on, and grabbed my keys.I did not think much of it on the drive over. Grandfather called me separately from Niklaus

Chapter 210~Rebecca~I was in the middle of my second glass of wine when my phone rang.I looked at the screen. My informant. I set the glass down and picked up."Talk to me," I said."It has happened," she said. She sounded excited. "Grandfather called them back from the honeymoon. They came in this afternoon. He had the photographs. All of them."What was this? I didn't even have to lift a finger. I guess I had planted seed of doubt in his mind the last time I pulled something up.I sat up straighter. "And?""And it went exactly as you would expect. Your father was there too. Both of them. The girl was shown everything. The contract especially that you were not able to get. All of it laid out on the table."I smiled widely. I just listened. “Carry on.”"Father told her he was disappointed. That he had thought she was different." A pause. "Grandfather gave her a cheque. Told her to take her family and go. Said he never wanted to see her near the family again."I closed my eyes in j
