The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 1286

She threw her arms around Ronald, planting a kiss on his forehead in a moment of spontaneous affection. He was momentarily stunned but quickly responded with fervor.

Applause thundered from the audience below.

On their wedding night, Ronald fulfilled a long-held dream, keeping Kari close by his side in a way he had always hoped for.

Ronald took Kari on a whirlwind three-month honeymoon.

They visited numerous countries before finally returning to Imperial City.

Those three months were the happiest Kari had ever been.

The night they returned, Ronald had a business meeting.

He dropped Kari off at home, planting a tender kiss on her forehead, “I’ll be back late tonight, get some rest.”

Exhausted, Kari could only nod, “Okay.”

Worn out from the long journey, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

A phone ringing in the middle of the night woke her.

It was Ronald.

“Honey, there’s a file in the study’s drawer I need. Can you find it for me? I’ll have my assistant come pick it up.”

“Don’t bother him; I’ll bring it over.”

Kari, having slept for over ten hours, was full of energy.

Ronald sounded relieved.

After freshening up, Kari headed to the study.

Following Ronald’s instructions, she opened the drawer, finding numerous files including the one Ronald needed.

As she grabbed the file, another folder accidentally came out with it.

“Clatter—”

Holding the file Ronald needed, she bent down to pick up the dropped folder.

A photo fell out of the folder.

It was her.

Kari’s pupils contracted.

The file detailed an accident caused by Nathan’s father, dated right before her wedding.

...

Ronald waited for over an hour but Kari never showed.

He tried calling her, no answer.

His assistant sensed something was wrong, “Mr. Malone, perhaps we should postpone the meeting till tomorrow?”
