BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 116 | "Why are you so panicked?"
Willow was still trying to think of a plan to rid herself of the stubborn Dan, who lay on her bed like a persistent octopus, when she heard a loud commotion downstairs. With her eyebrows raised, she shot Dan one last look before growling out a threat.“Do. Not. Move.”He tilted his head towards her, his eyes closed as the corner of his lips tipped up. “Where else would I go?”Willow didn’t bother with a reply. Instead, she walked over to the door and opened it slightly. She could hear the commotion a little clearer now, but not enough to discern what was going on. She decided to throw caution to the wind and opened the door wide, opting to investigate what was happening downstairs. She walked out and crept down the hallway.It didn’t take her long to reach the stairs and witness the source of the commotion herself.Her entire family had woken up and was now in the living room, arguing and bickering with the older woman who had no right to be there in the middle of the night.“What’s g
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 117 | "You know what your problem is?”
Willow didn’t have the time to hear the full story. But she knew Diana wasn’t faking it.The woman wasn’t lying about her daughter and son-in-law being in danger. The rest of the details didn’t matter. She had to find the device, if she still had it, and if not, it would be time to think outside the box.Willow assured Diana that she would find the device, not sure how but she did her best to convince the anxious mother and watched as she left, hoping to get in contact with someone she knew, someone who could help fight this organization if need be.Willow could only guess for now, but she would bet her everything on that someone being Simon Walsh. Not that it was her concern to know who Diana trusted or not. She had a job to do, and she would have to put her everything into it.After Diana left, Willow stormed into her room and started rummaging through the drawer of her nightstand and the floor. If she could only find that damn device, everything would be just fine. She tried to sea
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 118 | "Where are we exactly?”
Willow sat in her car and stared at the steering wheel, her fingers curled around it. “You probably think I’m crazy, don’t you?” She asked, turning to see Dan sitting in the passenger seat, staring at her. “Don’t even try to lie. I can read it on your face.” Dan shook his head, his expression calm and unreadable. He looked out the window, staring up all the way to the roof of the mansion. “No. I don’t think you’re crazy. I just think you’re…well…not like others.” Willow snorted at that. “That’s one way to put it.” “Come on,” he sighed, looking back at her. “You can’t blame me for thinking that. I mean, you did just tell me everything about the device, the reality shifts, the whole thing with Diana Price, and the organization, and the fact that you have travelled through time.” She frowned, not liking his tone. “I told you because you wanted to know. You literally fucked me into the wall,” she could still feel her core tingling after he’d fucked her twice in the same night. “You wa
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 119 | "Do I even have to spell it out?”
Jasper looked like he was ready for a war.His brows were furrowed, his lips were thinned and his eyes were sleepy, even though he was nursing a hot mug of coffee.Willow and Dan sat in the living room, across from Jasper himself. Next to him sat his beautiful yet equally furrowed wife, although she looked partly worried if that made the whole situation any better.“So,” Jasper started, letting out a deep breath. “You came here, at this hour,” he checked the time on the wall as if his expression hadn’t already given away his much-felt annoyance. “…because Ronin and Carmen’s life is in danger.”As if on cue, Molly grabbed her phone for the hundredth time since they shared the reason for their arrival and dialled for Carmen. Probably. She shook her head when no one answered. “No one’s answering. Jasper I’m starting to get worried now. Maybe it’s not a prank like you think.”“You think we are playing a prank?” Willow blurted out, not able to believe the two of them would translate their
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 120 | "Can you try searching for it?”
Alice was standing next to her mom, her eyes fixed on the two strangers sitting across from them. Her forehead was creased, and she looked tired. Willow felt bad for waking her up. If it weren’t life and death, she wouldn’t have bothered her.“Hi, Alice,” Willow greeted her softly. “I’m sorry for waking you up like this, but we really need your help.”Alice rubbed her eyes sleepily, yawning loudly. “It’s okay, Aunt Will. What happened?”Willow swallowed hard, unsure of how to explain it to the child without scaring her. She glanced at Dan, hoping he would help her, but he simply shrugged and leaned against the wall behind him. She almost rolled her eyes, almost. The man had lost his brain somewhere between coming here and spilling out the truth.She looked back at the girl, and exchanged an uncertain glance with Molly, before sighing. “Sweetheart, you have so many toys, right? Do you think you ever stumbled upon something that looks like a rectangular box with lots of buttons on it? I
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 121 | "I think I am?”
“Are you serious right now?” Diana asked, as she glared at Willow and the man standing behind her.After leaving Jasper’s place, Willow was quick to call Diana and asked her to meet at Carmen’s home address. Diana had asked what the hell she was trying to do, but Willow didn’t have time to explain, she was trying to put the pieces together herself, but for now, that was all she had.Willow brushed the back of her neck, looking around and noticing how late it was, how nothing seemed real anymore, and everything was just messed up. “I think I am?” She said, suddenly not so sure anymore. But then she shook her head. “Look, you have to trust me on this. This is the only explanation as to why I didn’t have the device on me after I returned. Ryan has to have it.”But Diana wasn’t so sure if Willow was making literally any sense at all. I mean, what were the chances? It felt so unreal and ridiculous. Their one mistake could cost the lives of the two people they held dear. But then again, Wil
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 122 | "You're taking her side now?
While Diana paced the sidewalk, talking over the phone and doing her best to explain everything to (hopefully) Simon, Dan grabbed Willow’s arm and dragged her to the side. Once they were out of Diana’s earshot, a deep frown crossed his ruggedly handsome face. “Did you just lie to her?” Willow had no clue what he was talking about. “About what?” Dan grunted, but held himself from shaking her by the shoulders, telling her to not be so blissfully ignorant. “About the device. You told her that Carmen gave it to Alice—or her child—however you put it. But the truth is that you stole it, isn’t it? You stole it from Carmen. That’s at least what you told me.” Willow bit her lip and averted her eyes. Dan was right. She had stolen the device from Carmen. She had taken it because when Alice told her about the device, she had decided to humor herself and see if things like that could really exist. She was curious. She had to know. She shook her head, glancing over her shoulder and noticing Dia
BILLIONAIRE'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE 123 | "Why are you being so difficult?”
Carmen wasn’t sure what was happening.One moment, Ronin and she were sleeping peacefully, and the next, their home was being invaded by men who looked anything but friendly. Two of them even held guns at their faces and forced them out of their bedroom.Now, it had been hours, and Ronin and she were still sitting on the couch, not allowed to move, not allowed to talk, not even allowed to check up on their son.It was killing Carmen.The thought that her baby boy was somewhere upstairs, all alone and scared. She needed to go to him, hug him, and assure him that everything was going to be okay. But she couldn’t. Those men had refused to let her do anything.Alas, she had no choice but to try. It was almost dawn, and if Ryan came downstairs looking for them, those men might hurt him. She couldn’t risk that. She had to make sure her child was safe.Carmen shot to her feet, startling Ronin beside her. “I need to see my son,” she declared.Ronin stood up too, but before he could say anythi
