Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Wife Returns From The Dead : Bab 101 - Bab 110

Briar’s POVA loud yawn escaped my lips as I stretched out my tired bones. I squinted my eyes at the morning sun pouring into the room. A small smile spread across my lips when I caught the faint scent of Adrian’s perfume. I patted my side and my eyes went wide open when I realized the bed was empty. Neither he nor Knox was here. I paused for a moment when it clicked that they might be in the living room. I grinned to myself, getting out of the bed to wash my face in the bathroom. Staring at my shiny face in the mirror, I flushed at the thoughts in my head. It is quite interesting how expressive I have become lately. When Adrian suddenly showed up last night, it suddenly felt like an answered prayer. Checking my hair, which I had put in a rough bun, and my dry face, I stepped out of the room holding back a yawn. A sudden pop and shower of party poppers almost took me out. “Happy birthday!” The excited voices behind the surprise yelled. I blinked rapidly trying to understand what w

Adrian’s POVMy shoulders slumped as I dropped the phone after having to end the call abruptly. I should have just listened to my inner voice and resisted calling. What did I expect? That Briar would be by herself on a special day when there is a man willing to do anything to make her happy and has been at it for years. Last night got me a bit hopeful. Seeing both Briar and Knox in my arms evoked emotions that I didn’t think I possessed. I even woke up early to make breakfast until Gina told me about the birthday surprise that Liam had already planned. All of my thoughts came crashing. I scoffed at my silliness, rubbing my stiff neck. Where is that damn Eric when you need him? I stared out the window and noticed the sky had gotten darker with little thunder rumbling and the air smelling like wet earth. It’s about to rain. I could really do with some beer by the fireside and talk about nothing serious. Feeling defeated, I dialed Eric. He didn’t answer the first call and I had to try

Author’s POV Rissa knocked hard on the door repeatedly. When no response came, she searched around the flower pot for a key. Just as she hoped, there was a key underneath a cactus pot. She opened the door and walked in cautiously. The entire space was dark. The living room curtains were drawn shut and she almost fell over Liam who was seated on the floor. She quickly reached for her phone to turn on the flashlight. “My goodness, you scared me!” She sucked her teeth, glaring at him. “You are here,” Liam said without looking up from the ground he was staring at. Shaking her head in disbelief, Rissa went to the window to pull the curtains. The afternoon sun poured into the room causing Liam to wince in effect while shielding his eyes from the burn. “Pull it back, Rissa.” He groaned. She ignored him as she placed her phone and bag on the couch while taking in the space. Liam had an almost finished whiskey bottle next to him and several burnt cigarette sticks filled the ashtray. She

Briar’s POV“I am sorry about what happened earlier, Liam. As I said, I sent the emails as I should. But I just learned now that Isadora had intentionally sent a different email to the client. She did it out of spite.” I tried to explain.Liam tapped the pen he held on the table slowly. “so you are telling me a personal vendetta is the reason I will not have my best hand on a project?”I sighed, “I wish I could undo this. But that bitch is getting on my nerves.” I swallowed at his curt look. “Pardon my language. Isadora will be a pain in the ass, but I think she will stay put now.”“I don’t know how else she can stay put when she already kept you out of the most important projects of the quarter.” He bit down on his lip, running a free hand across his well-combed hair. “Is this what you came all the way down from Florida to do? Have yourself be pushed in murky waters for a man who doesn’t even know what he wants?”“Liam…”“I am not done. This is me talking to you as your boss. The rea

Briar’s POV“This is kidnapping, Adrian. I am not going to let this slide. Where are you taking me to?” I questioned repeatedly, pulling the car door handle. He said nothing, his eyes focused on the road like I wasn’t yelling my lungs out to him. I looked out the window and recognized the route. Is he trying to silence me? Why is he taking me to his house? It doesn’t seem like he has any reason to hurt me. but I am quite wary of people lately, you never know what it is they are thinking.“Why are you taking me to your house, Adrian? What are you plotting?” I screamed. “take me back to my place, I don’t want to be around you.” I fumed, hitting the window furiously.Adrian turned the car onto the street. “you will hurt yourself, Ria. Stop that.”“If you really care, you will drop me off and give me back my phone.”He kept mute again until we arrived at his house. “all I want to do is have a word with you.”“Why did it have to be at your place?”“Because you won’t let me into your house
