Chapter 18: Tying Up Loose Ends
“It’s so good to hear from you again, Emilia. How are you?”
“Annoyed most times, but I’m fine. What about you?”
“I miss you,” he blurted out. “I know I shouldn’t say that but it’s true. I miss you a lot.”
Crap! Maybe this phone call was a mistake.
“I shouldn’t have called you, Matt,” she said softly.
“Please, don’t say that. I didn’t mean to offend you. I know you and Kane are married again, I was just saying…”
“It’s fine. I’m not offended. I just don’t want you to think that I was trying to get back with you again. I just felt like talking to someone who isn’t heavily invested in my current situation.”
“I understand. I wasn’t expecting to leave your husband for me either. I know that’s impossible.”
She chuckled. “I still love him but I’m

“Welcome back home, darling,” said Elsie. She hugged Emilia warmly. “I am so sorry for everything that happened.”“It’s ok. Kane told me everything,” she replied graciously.“Now you know we’re a bunch of crazies in this family. I hope you’re still going to stick by us regardless,” said Lillian.“I vowed to love Kane through thick and thin, for better or worse. I’m sticking to my vows.”“Please…” Samuel scoffed.“Seriously?” Jack asked him. “You’re one to talk.”“Don’t come for me, junkie. I’m not in the mood,” he fired back.“What did you say?” Jack asked, taking a step towards his brother-in-law.“Ok, that’s it, guys. Stop!” Kane ordered them. “You’re supposed to be welcoming my wife home, not making her feel uncomfortable.”“It’s ok. Family fights sometimes,” Emilia said with a smile.Oddly enough, she liked seeing this side of the Beaumonts. It assured her that they were real humans and not a group of robots with impeccable manners.They heard footsteps on the stairs and everyone

“We will not be threatened into silence,” Joyce Banks said to the interviewer. “My daughter must get justice. The Beaumonts must pay for causing her death. She didn't deserve that.”“What do you want them to do for you?” The interviewer asked calmly.“I want compensation. Kendra was the breadwinner of our family. Her father has been terminally ill for years, her brother has been in and out of rehab and she was the one paying for that.”“Ok…”“I can’t work as much as I used to do because of my frail health,” Joyce continued. “Kendra provided for all of us and we never lacked whatever we wanted. Now, she’s gone. The least Kane Beaumont can do is to compensate us accordingly for our loss!”“Please, turn that thing off,” Elsie said distastefully.Lillian picked up the TV remote and switched off the 75-inch HD screen. She too was tired of listening to Joyce’s endless ranting.“They’re not going to stop, are they?” Emilia asked wearily. “They’ll continue to be a thorn in our flesh.”“This m

“The twin-girls poll seems to be taking the lead as more well-wishers appear to believe that the Beaumont babies are going to be shrouded in pink swaddles when they’re born. This speculation was fuelled by a report from a source close to the family who revealed exclusively to us yesterday that Emilia Beaumont’s personal shopper was at the family mansion early in the week with what looked like bags of pink baby attires.”“Gosh, these people are clowns!” Chloe laughed and switched off the TV. “The way they make up fake stories with so much confidence is amazing.”“That’s why you should never believe everything the media tells you,” said Emilia as she folded another outfit and placed it inside her suitcase.“Aren’t you too rich to be packing your own bags?” Her sister asked.“I don’t mind. I find it therapeutic.”Chloe sniffed. “Can nev

“To Tiara and Travis Beaumont!”“Cheers!”Everyone clinked glasses and drank to the health of the new members of the family. The babies were in the nursery with their nannies while their parents and the rest of the family celebrated their birth on the large patio of their island home.“Aww… this place is exquisite!” Elsie gushed. “I love it.”“Thanks, Mother,” said Kane. “You can move back here and live with us if you want.”“Oh, I don’t think so. This is a place to vacation in, not live. At least that’s how I see it.”“Preach, Mrs Beaumont!” Said Chloe. “I told my sister the same thing.”“Give it a rest, Chloe. We love it here,” said Emilia.“It’s a nice place, no doubt, but I think it’s a little too… secluded,” said Lara.“If the owners like it,

“I know we’ve had this conversation before but I think it’s time for us to go back home,” said Emilia.“This is home,” Kane replied with a mischievous grin.“You know what I mean.”He chuckled. “Feeling homesick, are you?”“Yes.”It was two months before the twins’ first birthday and Emilia would rather they had the party in the Beaumont mansion in the U.S. instead of their secluded island home. She was an introvert who enjoyed solitude but she’d had enough of this off-the-grid living.“Well, if I’m being honest, I miss home too,” Kane admitted. “I miss my office and those face-to-face meetings with my employees. Video calling simply can’t replace the real thing.”“So you were homesick too and just waiting for me to say something first.”“Well…”Emilia laughed. “I&rs

“Did you do it?”“No! Why would you even think that?”“The photos were taken from your room, Chloe. Who else had access to your room?”“Ever heard of maids?” She asked sarcastically.“The maids are not allowed to use their phones while on duty.”“I don’t know what you want me to say, Emilia. I didn’t do it. I would never betray you and Kane like that. Never!”Emilia sighed. “This is really disturbing. Maybe coming back to the U.S. with the children was a mistake.”“I don’t think so. I kinda have a sneaky feeling that someone is trying to set me up in this house and I honestly don’t know why.”“My vote is on Serena.”“Who’s that?”“Lillian’s PA. She even claimed that she saw Samuel coming out of your room on the day of the party.”Chloe’
Married On Paper To The Billionaire Chapter 25: Nightmare In Beaumont Mansion
They arrived home and found two police cars parked in front of the mansion with their red and blue lights flashing. Both of them were instantly worried and got out of the Rolls Royce as soon as the car pulled to a stop.“What’s going on? What happened?” Emilia asked, racing toward the policemen standing near the open front door.“Good evening, Mrs Beaumont,” one of them greeted her. “Please, be calm.”“Why are you guys here?” Kane asked too.“Let’s go inside, please,” a female cop said and tried to lead Emilia inside.“No! Tell me what happened right now!”“You’re back,” said Elsie, coming outside. She looked upset and her usually impeccable makeup was ruined with tears. “Please, come inside and sit down.”Kane followed his mother in and Emilia followed suit too. The suspense was killing them but it seemed that everyone wa

“Please tell me you have some good news for me, Detective Riley,” Kane said as he welcomed the cop into his office.“Well… let’s just say we might have hit a little snag in the search but we’re not giving up.”“What do you mean?”“We found the Banks family members. The father is battling heart disease and lives in hospice care. He informed us that he and Kendra’s mother got divorced shortly after their daughter’s death.”“Why? Because they couldn’t squeeze out more money from me?”“Not really. Joyce was the brain behind all those interviews and smear campaigns. The old guy claimed to have been forced to participate but he eventually got tired and bowed out.”“Interesting…”“That was when Joyce filed for a divorce and kicked him out of their home.”“And their son?”“
