The Billionaire's Last Minute Bride Chapter 24
Blue“Good Morning!” The sound of a voice has me startling awake.My heart races and sends me scrambling to sit up. I blink a few times to see Rhea standing in our room…again.“Dammit, Rhea! Have you ever heard of personal space?” Artemis growls.Rhea just laughs and walks around to my side of the bed and climbs on to sit next to me.Okay then…“Morning my lovely soon-to-be sister-in-law! Ready for wedding planning?” She asks giving me an eager smile.“What?”“We have three days to plan and that means there is no time to waste! So get your butt up and let’s do this thing! Oh, and you guys have a package.” She stands and saunters out of the room like she didn’t just burst in here.“I swear I’m not above murdering her,” Artemis grumbles.I snort a laugh and playfully smack his arm. “You wouldn’t. Besides she’s the only one in your family who seems to like me. You can’t kill my only ally.”That seems to get his attention because he rolls over to face me. “I’m not your ally?”“I mean, are

BlueRhea and I are on our feet in an instant and being ushered out of the room as quickly as our feet can carry us. “What happened?” I ask as we’re being herded toward the emergency stairs. “There’s been a breech or unknown intent.” He says as if that clears everything up. “Okay, what does that mean?” I ask. Dane is waiting for us at the stairs and holds the door open for us. Several other people are rushing down the stairs as well. Is this a possible fire situation? Why else would everyone be trying to exit by way of the emergency stairs? Bryant moves ahead of us, and Dane takes the back and tries to create an area of protection around us. Rhea seems calm but she reaches out from behind me and slips her hand in mine. I hold it tight to try and reassure her, but I’m secretly panicking too. After the stuff I’ve experienced I’m a little paranoid. We make it outside where a crowd is forming outside of the building. Everyone is looking at the building as if their waiting for somethi

BlueThe cake tasting sounded fun and was in the begging but by my third slice I couldn’t taste the differences and I was not liking the idea of flowers in cake. What is that about? My new phone makes a sound and I look down at it to see I have gotten a text message. From Artemis of all people. I hadn’t expected him to answer my email let alone send me a text. I didn’t take him for much of texter. Not that I’m experienced in that area either. Artemis: Do small businesses need security systems? I reread the text again and it doesn’t make anything clearer. What is he asking me? Me: Is this Artemis or some sort of prank thing?I reply. There are several seconds with no reply and I wait in anticipation. Artemis: It’s me. So?It’s him. No way people are this abrupt even in text form.Me: Okay, I’m not sure why you’re asking me. I don’t anything about business.Artemis: But you know a small business owner.Oh he’s talking about Monica. I’m surprised he remembers that I told him about h

ArtemisAbigail is able to have everything related to our problem project secured on my private server within an hour. She even went as far as to stand over each person’s shoulder and watch as they moved everything and deleted any trace of it off of their station computers. I’ve been reading through code for several hours now and a headache is starting to start when a knock comes from my office door. It opens before I can say anything and Alan saunters in. “What’s up brother?” He says loudly as he enters. “Man, it’s good to be home.” He drops his body into one of the chairs in front of my desk and makes himself comfortable. His body is slouched low enough that he can rest his head on the back of the chair, and his legs are spread open. In short, the opposite of professional. “I’m assuming you didn’t come alone.” I say instead of a proper greeting. If he’s going to barge in here and not respect my space why should I be pleasant to him? “You would be right! They’re waiting in the

ArtemisWhat is that? Blue struggles to adjust the dress to face the mirror and it’s more than obvious that she can’t. The thing is huge. Her description was point on, it does look like a giant marshmallow. Even the sleeves are puffy. Does anyone buy dresses like this? “So what do you think?” The woman who followed Blue onto the small stage asks her. “This is the fourth dress she’s tried on and I think she’s done.” Rhea whispers to me. “She’s trying to make mom happy, but I don’t want her leaving here with a dress like that.”Neither do I. There is no way she is walking down the aisle looking like a giant cupcake. “Blue?” Her eyes meet mine in the mirror and I see her shoulders relax. “Artemis, you’re here!” She has to shuffle many times to turn all the way around and face me. “Yeah, this dress is…interesting.” I say pointing at the monstrous thing. “It’s all the rage these days. It gives brides a more fanciful experience.” The woman tries to explain but I doubt that’s true. “

BlueI had only meant to tease Artemis by letting him see me in the lingerie they gave me to wear while I tried on all these ridiculous dresses. Then he watched me with this intense look in his eyes and suddenly I realized I might have made a mistake. When he told me not to get dressed, I debated whether or not to listen but after seeing the way he looked at me, I felt like being bold. We haven’t had time to set rules about things like sex, and I’m thinking that’s one of the most important topics we should have addressed. Are we going to be fake married people with benefits? I mean we already sleep in the same bed together. Will we be able to do that and never touch? Okay, we’ve touched but that’s been innocent cuddling. This is really something we need to discuss before one of us steps over the line. When we do there will be no going back. It doesn’t take long for Artemis to come back and the dress he brings with him takes my breath away. I couldn’t have imagined ever wearing a dr

BlueBryant and Dane escort me back to the hotel. They must sense I’m in no mood to talk because they don’t say a word even when we reach the room. I walk to my bedroom and close the door behind me, cutting the rest of the world out. My thoughts and feelings are a mess right now and I need time to understand it all. I’ve never felt anything like this before and it’s making me mad. I carefully hang my new dress in the closet where Artemis has been keeping his suits. For a second I consider messing them up a little, but once again I refrain from letting my emotions get the best of me. Bastard. I’d like to kick him in the shine. Taking a deep breath, I close the closet and drop down on the bed with a huff. Day…what it it? Day four? I can’t even tell any more. It feels like ages since I was teleported into this alternate universe where a super-rich guy asked to marry him. Deciding I have given him enough thought for today I decide to watch some TV and order a huge ice cream sundae. Ha

ArtemisAfter the dress fitting I head back to work per Blue’s request, but damn if I’m not confused as hell. I thought there was something between us for a minute there, but she changed. Rhea sensed it too because she asked me what was wrong but I didn’t have an answer for her. I suppose if Blue needs space for whatever reason then I should give it to her. She hasn’t contacted me for hours, so I decided to dive into work. By four o’clock I know I won’t be going back to the hotel tonight. I need the extra time to go over every inch of this code and sleep isn’t going to help me. I need my mind sharp and that only happens for me when I don’t give it time to reset. Is it healthy? Absolutely not but it’s my system and it helped me build this company, so I’ll keep doing it. Abigail came in at four thirty to ask if I needed dinner sent up. I took her up on the offer but asked her to have it delivered around seven. I want to work another few hours without distraction. Or that was the plan
