Bribing The Billionaire’s Revenge - Chapter 72: Chapter 72

She moved unhesitatingly towards him. He cupped her cheeks with his palms and stared down at her a tender smile on his face. God, he loved this woman. The way she simply followed his lead made his heart ache wonderfully. She was made for him.
“I love you,” she whispered to him.
“I love you too,” his smile got bigger.“Sorry, I bolted. I had something I really wanted to take care of.”
“It’s okay. We can talk later.”
He nodded and was about to say something when Vince interrupted.“What is this?”
“That, is a gift.”
“A gift?” Vince frowned. “What kind of gift?”
“The kind which I never in a million years thought I would ever bestow on a Williams but after talking to my girl,” he hugged Sherry tight, “and my mom who once had her heart ripped out of her chest because your father was careless, I couldn’t sit by and do nothing.”
“I don’t understand.”
“When I was a kid, your father destroyed the home of my family and twenty-six other families. My parents were immigrants to the country and while we had been born here, my sister and I, they were not. Times were tough and when they lost their house and their place of employment, they also lost their kids because they were homeless and unemployed.”
“It’s why you hate my father and destroyed our company,” Vince said quietly.
“Yup. He made my mama cry and broke her heart. For two years she had to battle a court system she barely understood with her limited English.”He felt Sherry’s hand rubbing his low back gently. He wanted to kiss her senseless, but first, he had to get through this shit.
“What does this have to do with this?” he held up the thumb drive.
“Well, it has everything to do with Willow, actually.”
“Me?” She made big eyes.
“Yes, see Willow, the night of the gala, I gave you a warning, didn’t I?”When she swallowed audibly, he stared her down.“I warned you. If you continued to fuck with Sherry, I would ruin you. I would make your life a living hell. Now, you,” he shook his head regrettably, “did not heed my warning. I love Sherry. I love her to the point it kills me when she’s not with me. She is everything I ever dreamed of in a woman and more. I am convinced she was put on this earth to make my life complete.”He held her close.
“Why?” Willow sneered. “She’s beneath you.”
He clicked his tongue as he felt Sherry bristling beside him.“Willow, you’re so jealous of the soul she has, and the way people automatically fall in love with her sweet nature you don’t think clearly. You very stupidly, despite knowing I have a full security team and Ella’s gallery under surveillance and recorded, went to visit Sherry at work this week.” He motioned to Vince, “that USB among other things, has the video where Willow and Victor asked Sherry to cover for them so Willow can leave the country with your child. She hammed it up for Victor, but my very unscrupulous team also got copies of her text messages. It seems she’s fucking Victor’s boss. The minute you lost your chance at CEO, she went back to one of her other lovers. He offered Victor a job in London so he could get Willow there.”
Vince turned to look at Willow, “you were going to leave with my son?”
“It’s why I’m giving you the details, Vince. I talked to Sherry, and she was brokenhearted. Not because she cares for you or even likes you, but because she felt it was a line she couldn’t cross to deprive you of your son. Especially when we all know Willow is unfit to be a parent. In about ten minutes you’ll get a call from judge who is a personal friend of my father’s. My father also remembers what it was like to lose his kids and said the kind of pain isn’t one he’d wish on even his worst enemy. The judge has issued a court order banning Willow from leaving the country until after the birth and after custody has been sorted.”
Willow shrieked, “you can’t do this.”
“I can, and I have. I warned you Willow. I warned you if you went after Sherry and didn’t fuck off, I was going to ruin you and I’m going to do it. The medical records I was able to gather cite Willow has a medical condition which puts the life of her child at risk if she flies. She is thirty-three weeks pregnant, and her placenta is not in the right place. It puts her due date sooner which means she’s been lying to you about the conception being at the wedding. I’m betting the bitch poked holes in your condoms. She did supply them, right?”
“Willow? Why?” Stella asked with wide eyes. “You would risk the life of the baby to run away to England?”
“I don’t even want this fucking kid, and now I’m going to have to birth it! I got pregnant to make sure he told Sherry the truth, but I never thought I’d get this sick with it. I puked for months, and now I’m not puking the stupid doctor tells me if I have sex I could bleed out.” she vented furiously.“It might not even be a risk if I fly. I was willing to take the chance.”
Granny gasped at her, “Willow, how could you?”
“I deserve to have the best! Now Vince is broke, and we don’t have a nice house; my kid is going to grow up poor.”
“I’m not fucking broke,” Vince laughed at her snidely.“Just because I didn’t let you see what I got as a severance package when Harrison bought us out, doesn’t mean I’m destitute. I also have a new job starting next week, and I’m back to making six figures. You stupid bitch.”
Harrison laughed at Willow’s shocked expression.“I also had a sit-down conversation with Victor and his boss. Let them know you played them both. Victor truly believed your bullshit about wanting to do right by Sherry. I showed him the texts you sent her. Oh, and the guy you were fooling around with at your office, where you work as a CPA. I told his wife. She has a clip of you with your tongue down his throat. She’s a lawyer. Good luck.”
“Why are you doing this?”Willow was pale staring at him,
“I warned you. You didn’t listen.I can’t physically harm a woman, especially a pregnant one, but I can make sure from today until the day I die, you never get to con another rich man again in the name of hurting Sherry. You don’t come after my family and survive.”
“She’s not your family!”Willow pouted.“You barely know her.”
“And yet, she’s going to have my child.”He boldly put his hand on the flat of Sherry’s stomach.
Vince spun to look at them.“You’re pregnant?”
Harrison looked down at Sherry who met his eyes smiling. He looked to Vince, relishing the sadness in the man’s eyes. He still hated him. He simply didn’t hate him enough to let someone kidnap his kid.“yes. She’s pregnant.”
Granny gave a hooted laugh, “congratulations!”
“Thanks Granny.” Sherry smiled at her as she rested her head against Harrison’shoulder.“It was unexpected but I’m really happy.”
Harrison hugged her tight.“Me too. I’m very happy.”
Willow gave a loud wail as she punched the top of the dining room table.“No.No.No.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Harrison mocked her.“You sent Sherry a text message which told her if she didn’t keep your secrets you would continue to harass her and not even a restraining order would stop you. What you didn’t count on, Willow is how much I love Sherry and how hard I will fight to protect her.I will make it my personal mission to make sure the world knows what kind of an asshole you are.”
“You’re mean.”
“I am the meanest person you ever met.”Harrison laughed in her face.
“Sherry, say something.”Willow looked to her pleadingly.“You can’t let him do this to me.”
She shook her head and squeezed Harrison’s hand, “you did this to yourself, Willow. I told you. Sisters don’t hurt each other the way you hurt me. I can never forgive you for the shit you’ve put me through. If I had my way, I would never speak another word to you again.”
Harrison kissed the top of her head before turning his gaze back to a very sad looking Vince, “I almost let the bitch leave the country if only to give Sherry peace from her. Don’t make me regret my actions. Keep your wife away from mine.”
