This book is authored by G O A. Why Tech Billionaire Artemis Rhodes would post such a thing?! "Everyone is talking about the hashtag that just went viral in less than a few hours. Nevertheless, this girl has become a mystery everyone wants to solve. In fact, we have pictures from several people who have seen the girl in person." The screen of the phone is small but I catch several pictures of me flashing on the screen. This can't be happening! You know that panic attack I had been pushing down? Well, that thing comes back with a vengeance. It feels like all the air is sucked out of me and my chest gets tight. My vision blurs and I register I'm falling just before things go dark. "Relax Miss Riley, this is Mr. Rhodes a donor to our hospital. This woman is his fiancee. I'll take things from here." The doctor says and steps aside to let the nurse out. I watch her scurry away before I focus on the doctor. He's an older man with white hair and a friendly face but he gives me weird vibes. Wait...did he just say, fiancee? "I'm sorry what did you say?" I ask. "I have a proposition for you." The man says. "A proposition for me? What do you mean?" "A proposition? It means-" I wave my hand. "Not that! I'm not an idiot. I mean what proposition?" "I want you to marry me." He says with a straight face. So I bet your wondering how a woman who lives in an abandoned train car ends up married to a big tech billionaire. Well it's simple. We ran right into each other, locked eyes and the rest is history.

The Billionaire's Last Minute Bride Chapter 102
ArtemisI leave Blue in the room so I can have a second to absorb everything. As soon as we stepped into the house and I saw the number of people around a surge of protectiveness I have never felt welled up inside me and I could bring myself to leave Blue's side. It was as if the words ‘protect’ was running on a loop in my head. There are three tiny lives growing inside my wife and they are mine to protect. When we were driving home my head was pulling up all the random facts I’ve accumulated over the years that had anything to do with pregnancy.Most of it was from hearing Rhea talk about it or from things on TV that I wasn’t paying much attention to. One point that stood out is that pregnancies involving multiple babies can be dangerous. I’ll have to do more research on it, but I’m guessing the more babies the more dangerous it can be. Plus my wife is a small woman, so that will be a factor as well. She has also gone most of her life with little to no medical care. She wil

BlueI’m so nervous that I have a strong urge to throw my door open and throw up on the side of the road. Artemis’s sisters sounded excited by the news of the baby which is amazing but they aren’t the ones I’m worried about. I’m worried about Lilly. She has only been with us for a few weeks and now I’m pregnant. What if she thinks we won’t care about her when the new babies come? I know if I was in her position, I would be worried, but I love her so much already. “Do you think Lilly will be happy?” I ask out loud because I can’t suffer in my own thoughts without getting a second opinion. “Why wouldn’t she be happy?” Artemis asks like he really has no idea why she wouldn’t be. He must not have gotten jealous when his sister was born. “Well, sometimes foster kids get sent away when the families have their own kids. What if she thinks we’ll send her back?” “It’s different with her because we aren’t fostering her. She is legally our daughter, so why would we

Artemis Blue is crying like someone she loves has just died! I told her this is one of the best days of my life and she’s crying!“Blue? Please don’t cry! What did I say to upset you?” She tries to talk between sobs but I can’t understand any of it. I’m at a loss. The other times she’s cried weren’t like this, so I’m not sure what to do. Well that’s not true, I know exactly what I should do. Time to call in the big guns. My phone is already connected to the car's Bluetooth so I hit Rhea's number and press call. It only rings once before she picks up. “Well this is a surprise! My brother calling me? Hell must have frozen over. What-“ She stops when Blue starts to cry loudly again. “Is that Blue? Artemis Rhodes what did you do to her? If you laid a hand her I swear to God I will cut your dick off.”“Who are you threatening?” I hear Max say in the background.“My brother. He made Blue cry.” “Oh shit. Put it on speaker.” There some shuffling around and th

BlueI don’t know what’s been going on but I’ve been exhausted all week. My guess is that I caught some sort of virus somewhere and my body is working overtime trying to fight it. I haven’t had any other symptoms yet but they'll show up soon I’m sure. For now I’ve been drinking this ginger tea Abigail recommended. She’s been drinking it for morning sickness and told me it’s not bad. It’s good but it hasn’t helped with how tired I am. Over the last two weeks I’ve spent more time sleeping than I’ve spent awake. It helped that Lilly was in school so I didn’t have much to do and I could rest, but now with what happened I’m not sure if we will be sending her back there. I’ll have to figure out how to kick this weird bug so I can focus my attention on her. When I’m awake enough to be productive I’ve been looking into other schools that might work for Lilly. There are schools for kids with disabilities but not the kind she has, so that one’s out. Another one is more wheelchair fri

ArtemisI see red when Lilly looks at us. “What the fuck is this?” I say before looking from my daughter to the woman still standing. “Mr. Rhodes please calm down.” She says. I stand to face her, and she is smart enough to look nervous. “I asked what that is? Who did that to her?” “I’m afraid I can’t disclose that information. We protect our student’s identity as requested by their parents.” “You’re protecting the kids who hurt our daughter!” Blue snaps at the woman. She stands next to me and between the woman and Lilly. “It was a simple misunderstanding-““Misunderstanding? She has a cut on her face! That is assault! How are you planning to punish the kids who did this?” Blue asks. “We have spoken to all the children involved and it was all an accident.”“Was it an accident or a misunderstanding?” I ask. She looks at me confused. “What?” “Was it an accident or a misunderstanding? Because there is no possible way this was

ArtemisMy plan to take some time to be with Lilly and Blue has quickly gone to shit. Dane had been keeping my father under house arrest since the family meeting from hell, but we couldn’t keep him much longer after the media circus. Questions were starting to come up about where he was, and I don’t want the police coming into my home looking for him. As much as I would like Dane to continue torturing my father, I don’t want the police showing up looking for him, so we have no choice but to let him go. Not that it matters much since Alan I have already set everything up for my father’s fall from his throne. My grandfather has been out of the country for a couple of weeks now and hasn’t been in touch so I’m not sure what he’ll do when he hears what’s happening, but I’m sure it won’t be pretty. Unlike my father though he thinks long term and that means he won’t turn his back on his grandkids because we carry his legacy. He will most likely pull responsibilities and funds from

BlueThe next week is amazing. The three of us spend a lot of time eating together and adjusting to this new dynamic of our lives. Artemis is still a little awkward in the father role, but he’s been doing so well with Lilly. He is very protective of her and has even tried to buy her a new wheelchair with all sorts of bells and whistles to make sure she is thoroughly protected. I had to step in and explain to him that adding a button for her to press that release mace is a little too far. We compromised and bought her a motored wheelchair to use when she’s at school and it does have an emergency alarm she can press if she’s in trouble. It will also alert us if she is in trouble and give us her location. We also bought her the watch we looked at so we can keep in contact with her. Artemis has chosen a very exclusive school that VIP people send their kids to because security is intense given the high profiles of the children. She was accepted on sight and will start on Mo

BlueThe three of us enjoy pizza at the table in our brand-new dining room. Lilly is shy but answers most of our basic questions to get to know her better. By the time we’re done eating she looks exhausted so I help her get ready for bed. She shows me how I can help her, and I pay close attention. I want to be sure to help her as much as she will let me. It kills me to see her struggle to do such small things that most of us see as easy. For years she’s basically taken care of herself, and I understand but I wish I could do more to help her. Still I know I can’t push her, so I will let her tell me when she wants me to step in and help her. It ends up that she needs help being moved to the bed, but she is able to change into her pajamas as soon as she’s settled. Brushing her teeth was a little bit of an odd thing, but it’s because the counter isn’t wheelchair friendly. That’s going to need fixing soon. “Good night Lilly. If you need anything don’t be afraid to call us o

ArtemisEverything is moving fast. Alan and I have finalized the last legal steps to restart our new company, but we have no plans of bringing in any outside works yet. We are going back to working out of my house for now. Our most important clients have agreed to work with us and have cancelled all contracts under the old company. The more we are able to cripple the company while my father is out of commission the harder it will be for him to make a dime. It's a dick move but after what he did, I’m not going to let him hold onto something I worked so hard for a turn it into something of his own. He has too much power over our family and now it’s over. Rhea and Athena have already stepped down from their positions in my father’s companies and cut all links to the business side of our family. They are even talking about taking their husbands’ last names now. That was a condition of my father’s and grandfather, no Rhodes child is ever to give up their name. None of us wa
