The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 167: Choices
Byron poured a lot of funds into the construction of the wave pool, and a few months later, it was built and ready for use.The building looked sleek and contemporary on the outside, while inside it was a warm oasis away from the autumn chill.Mandy swam and frolicked in the waves with her friends, stopping only to sip a bit of juice, then she was back in the water for more splashing. The high ceiling allowed natural light to come in through its numerous skylights, giving the space the ambience of a warm beach. The wave pool was definitely a hit. Emily and Byron watched the kids, lounging on deck chairs by the water."It's not quite as relaxing as a real beach, but it'll do," Byron said as the echoes of children's voices bounced around the vast space. Ripples of sunlight reflected off the water and played over his face."The kids don't seem to care if it's relaxing or not," Emily said, observing them race each other in the waves. "But as long as they're happy…""Do you think Man
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 168: Chopping Wood
A few days later, Emily woke up to a grey and rainy day, but she was eager to get out of bed. It was the day of their trip. Byron was already up, pulling a tight t-shirt over his muscular torso. He looked way too awake for the earliness of the hour."Today's dress code: motorcycle gear," he said, eyes shining eagerly."It's a road trip?" Emily exclaimed."Yes indeed!"They could have flown anywhere in the world on their private jet, but for some reason Emily was more excited about a trip to the nearby mountains, just like they had always done. It reminded her of the early days of their relationship when they swiftly fell in love, and she had fallen in love with everything about this landscape too. And in some ways, not that much had changed."It's going to be a rugged journey," Byron said, "but don't worry, I've prepared some amenities at our destination.""What is that supposed to mean?" she asked."You don't need to pack too much stuff, just your basic clothes."They left t
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 169: The First Chapter
Emily felt such a strong current of desire running throughout her frame. It was always the most overwhelming sensation, being engulfed in the torrent of his kisses. It was one of those times when she was reminded how fierce and powerful her love for him really was. Sometimes day-to-day life interfered and made her forget that there was a man by her side who would do anything for her. When he showed how much he loved her, whether it was with grand gestures and romantic trips or simply the way he kissed her, it felt like the rebirth of a love that was too beautiful for words.Holding him in her arms and knowing how much he desired her nearly made her faint every time. It enchanted every single cell of her being, making the rest of the world a mere blur compared to the hot passion coursing through her body."I love you," she murmured as they rested in the sumptuous bed. "Thanks for always being there for me.""You don't have to thank me," he said, gazing back at her with a look fi
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 1: The Stranger on the Bridge
"Don't ever call me again!" Emily yelled as she got out of a car belonging to a guy who turned out to be the worst date ever.He had offered to give her a lift home in his Mustang, but instead of driving he seemed more focused on sliding his hand under her dress. Emily was not looking for a serious relationship, but she also didn't want some average one-night stand with a guy who seemed interested in her only in the sense of her being a warm female body.The wind blew cold, slapping tiny drops of rain onto her face. She did not regret escaping from that creep's car, but now she had to walk home. She was in the middle of downtown Vancouver, and it would be nearly impossible to catch a taxi. She walked quickly to avoid being stopped by other smarta**es like the guy whose car she had just jumped out of.It's not like she had extremely high expectations, Emily thought moodily as she walked past drunk and excited nightclub goers. She wanted what every girl in her twenties probably want
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 2: The Stalker Becomes the Stalked
The man didn't say anything for another second that seemed to last a lifetime. Then his eyebrows drew together in a look of distaste, and Emily thought he was going to tell her to go away and stop bothering him. She couldn't blame him, really. This city was full of con artists who tried to "seek help" from strangers, usually to get money or to trick them into giving away personal information.Suddenly she felt the touch of a soft leather glove on her fingers. He took her hand!"Of course," said the stranger, his voice hoarse. "I hate creeps who follow women to intimidate them.""You don't know the half of it," Emily said, feeling instant relief, not only due to his help but also his sympathy for her situation."Is it the guy in a long jacket with spiky hair?" he asked, looking over her shoulder.Emily nodded. "Is he coming closer?" She couldn't dare to look. It would be better to pretend she didn't even know Josh was here. It would make her date with this guy seem more realistic,
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 3: The Fake Date Might Be Real
The restaurant was called Mangiamo, and Emily had heard it was one of the best in the city. She caught a glimpse of fine crystal glasses and classical paintings. It looked so tempting. The only problem was, she was a junior designer, not a millionaire. "Uh... do you mind if we choose something simpler?" she asked. "This is way out of my price range.""Do I not look like a man to you? You would insult me if you even mention paying," Byron said sternly. Well, that was quite a difference between him and the date she had earlier, who had been happy to split the bill with her, even though it was a first date and he might have at least tried to impress her by attempting to pay the whole thing. "But it's 1 am already; it's closing," Emily said, noting the restaurant's hours clearly written in the front window. "Not if I can help it," Byron said calmly, "Come on, Emily Danzi. I need a real Italian's opinion on the food here."There were only a couple of customers inside, and they we

"Let's not talk about him anymore," Emily said. "He's a pathetic human being." If Byron had any more compliments, she was hoping to hear those. "You're right," Byron said. "Tell me what you like to do."Emily was feeling a little tipsy, and she happily began to list off all the things she liked."I like designing hair clips, walking dogs," she began."Me too," Byron said. "I like dogs. I don't know how to design hair clips."Emily laughed, accidentally spitting out small bits of food as her fork clattered to the floor. When he said she was unforgettable, she hoped it wasn't because of her bad table manners. Byron seemed unfazed, and he simply called Amadeo over to bring another fork. They went on talking long after they finished their food. In her tipsy mind, Emily wondered how an amazing man like this was still available. He wasn't wearing a wedding ring. But of course, she couldn't assume he was single. He might still have a girlfriend. Whatever it was, she didn't want to k
The Billionaire's Runaway Bride Chapter 5: The Drama
When Emily woke up the next morning, the events of the previous night seemed like a figment of her imagination. The date with the rich business guy was nice, though. It made her smile as she got out of bed and hurried to get ready for work.In the sobering light of day, she decided it was for the best that nothing futher came of it. Byron may have been charming and heartstoppingly handsome, but his mood swings were not a good sign.Emily grew less and less starry-eyed when the reality of Josh being in town sank in. She didn't know if he was here on a visit or if he had decided to move here just to stalk her, but it was a good idea to report him to the police, or at least get some advice. When she got to the office, she looked for her friend Pam, who worked in sales. They were old university friends, and Pam knew all the details of Emily's life. She would probably love to hear about last night, but sadly she was away at a sales meeting.Emily already knew Pam would be telling her t
