All Chapters of A Little Stepmother in Trouble: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Izan couldn't help wiping the fake smile off his face in front of Jacob.That man was mocking him, and he had to bite his tongue.He wasn't used to being the one on the back foot, but everything hinged on this man keeping the deal they had together."What do you mean, I'm not understanding? This isn't a joke, Mr. Davis. I have a lot riding on this deal. We both do," he corrected himself, so the man would feel he had something to lose too.Jacob propped one ankle on his knee and leaned back in his chair.His posture said he was perfectly comfortable with the situation, while Izan grew more nervous by the second.The man was a bastard who wanted to sink him, Izan knew it, but if he had to beg him to reconsider, he would.He had him cornered, and on top of that he was enjoying watching Izan squirm, never knowing the exact moment he would pounce.Izan hated feeling like the prey when he was always the hunter."A couple of days ago, I had an unexpected visitor who asked for a meeting. Hone

It had been almost three months since his wife took over her father's company.In that time, he'd had to keep putting off the trip to Canada he had pending.He didn't want to leave Diana alone while Izan was still walking free.His worry had only grown since Jacob made good on his threat and demanded his money. When Izan couldn't come up with a way to pay him, Jacob had everything he owned seized and left him bankrupt.He was grateful to have that man as an ally right now instead of an enemy.Alexander had every reason to be satisfied. He'd sunk Izan so low that, just as he'd predicted, the only thing left for him was to eat out of the garbage—though what Alexander was really dying to see was him eating in prison.There wasn't a single day he could relax while his wife headed off to the company her father had left her and tried to keep it afloat."I'm back," Roger said, after knocking once and walking in like he owned the place. "Your wife is fine. I took her the paperwork you wanted

By the time Alexander and Roger landed in Canada several hours later, a car was already waiting to take them to a tiny town in Alberta.The farther they drove, the more Alexander doubted that the person living out here was Rebecca."I think we made this trip for nothing, and your investigative skills are getting worse by the day. Are you sure we're going to the right place?" he asked Roger, not remotely convinced.His assistant, who had decided after a while to take the wheel, looked at him as if doubting his abilities were a sin."Of course I'm sure. I hired a private investigator, it's not like I did the digging myself. He confirmed that Emilia Gagne really does live here, at that exact address." He pointed at the road climbing into the middle of the mountain."Right. So you're telling me Rebecca, the woman who broke out in hives if she so much as looked at nature, the woman who supposedly died in the mountains, moved here. I don't know if I buy it." At this point, Alexander would h

Alexander called his wife once he was settled in the room at the inn and already in bed.Everything hurt, his head most of all.He was so stressed that if he kept this up, he wouldn’t make it home alive.He needed Diana there. He needed to hold her and feel her warmth, and all he had was Roger, who had refused to give up the bed. Alexander sure as hell wasn’t going to sleep in that miserable armchair.The only thing missing to complete this horrible day was sleeping sitting up and waking with even more aches.So he’d shoved Roger to one side of the bed and taken his half by force.“Keep your distance. I’m not spooning with you,” he growled when his clingy assistant crept over onto more than his share.“This is just as uncomfortable for me as it is for you. You’ve got the sex appeal of an orangutan. All I want is to sleep and have this horrible day be over.”“This is your fault for renting a sports car to drive up a mountain, you mosquito-brain. I have blisters on my feet because of yo

When Alexander stepped off the plane and that terrifying trip was finally over, he found his wife and kids waiting for him at the airport.Roger had fallen behind because yesterday's hike had left him in rough shape, with every muscle in his body aching."Wimp," Alexander said when he saw Roger was one step away from collapsing in the middle of the airport. "By the time you get to my age, you'll be ready for the trash can.""By the time I get to your age, I'll be a venerable old man just like you, my dear friend."Alexander was about to growl a few remarks about the fist that old man was about to eat, when three kids came running toward him, yelling, "Dad!"His kids latched onto his waist as if they hadn't seen him in weeks.It was wonderful to be back."Daddy, Daddy, we beat a bad man and I hit him in the eye with a rock. All by myself, Daddy!" his daughter squealed with excitement, bouncing as she grabbed his belt.Alexander had no idea what she was talking about, and he definitely
