Married On Paper To The Billionaire Chapter 52 Chapter 52: Deal Or No Deal? Nov 22, 2024 "She's calling your bluff," said David Archer, Kane's attorney who drafted the NDA that Serena signed when she came to live in the Beaumont mansion. "What is she saying?" Kane asked.

"She said the NDA does not stop her from writing a book and it's simply an attempt by you to silence her and take away her freedom of speech." "Does she have a point?" "She does." "How so?" "The agreement does not specifically say that she cannot write a book about her experience in the mansion, it simply restricts her from saying anything about her relationship with you." "Damn!

Why didn't you foresee this?" "I apologize for the oversight but I never thought the situation would drag on this long, let alone become the subject of a tell-all book." "So, are you saying that we can't stop her from writing the book?" "We can issue a cease-and-desist warning, threaten her with a libel suit or get ahead of her and issue a press release to notify the public of her wicked intentions." Kane sighed wearily. "I'm tired of issuing press statements.

I'm sure the world is also tired of my family's unending drama with random people." "Well, there's another option." "Which is?" "Pay her a visit and threaten her to back off. She's probably doing all of this just to see you again." "I'm not going to visit that lunatic in a psycho ward. Let her do whatever she wants." "She has nothing to lose, Kane. You're the one with a reputation to protect and a family to shield from public humiliation. Serena doesn't have any of that and she's eager to get her five minutes of fame at all costs." "You're right.

She's never going to stop coming after me and my family." "You especially. She's obsessed with you." Kane scoffed. "Please!" "I mean it, Kane. I spoke with her today and her choice of words gave me the creeps. She's not right in the head but somehow, she's fixated on having you no matter what." "This is crazy." "Are you going to tell your wife?" "I have to. Keeping secrets from her was what led to all of this in the first place.

I won't repeat the same mistake again." After his meeting with David ended in his study, he went to the suite he shared with Emilia and found her playing on the floor with the twins. When she saw the drawn look on his face, she instinctively knew that something wasn't right. "Ok, my darlings, it's time for your nap," she said, rising to her feet. "I don't want to sleep!" Tiara protested. "Me too!" Travis added. "Well, that means you won't get any cookies after dinner tonight," said Emilia.

"but if you take a nap, you two will get double chocolate chip cookies for dessert." "Yay!" They jubilated and hurried out of the room. Emilia followed them to make sure that their nanny was in their room, waiting for them. Once the children were settled in their room, she returned to hers and found Kane sitting on the edge of the bed, looking frustrated. "What is it?" She asked him and he told her about David's report from his visit to Serena. "That spineless viper!" Emilia cursed after he was done talking.

"How dare she?" "She has become a thorn in our flesh that will never leave, no matter what we do." "Oh, she will leave. She must!" "David thinks I should go to her and warn her not to write the book. The truth is, I'm tired of this saga with her. I just want our lives to go back to normal without this embarrassing drama every other month." "I know how you feel. I hate how we keep getting in the news for all the wrong reasons. I'm tired of all that negative publicity." "So, what do we do now?" "I'm sure she's probably squandered all the hush money you gave her and she wants more.

Let's give her more money and an iron-clad NDA that will prevent her from even whispering our names in public." Kane smiled. "That sounds rather drastic." "It might be our only way to get rid of her permanently. We can't let her publish hundreds of pages filled with lies about us. Our children are going to grow up and see them." "That's true," Kane said thoughtfully. "I'll get in touch with David right away so that he can start working on a fresh NDA. This time, all bases must be covered, even the farfetched ones.

We can't leave anything to chance again." *********************** "She rejected the money and refused to sign the new NDA," David informed Kane a couple of days later after their last meeting. "What!" "She said she's open to having a one-on-one negotiation with you. I said it. She's obsessed with you." "Her audacity is unbelievable. What makes her think she's in a position to negotiate?" David shrugged. "As I said before, she has nothing to lose and she knows it." "Such a pest!" "I think you should humour her.

Hear what she has to say and then take things up from there." "If whatever she has to say does not involve her agreeing to sign the NDA, then she can simply go to hell. I will not be blackmailed anymore by her or anyone else!" When he relayed this development to Emilia, she wasn't surprised. "I agree with David. She's just trying to get your attention by all means," she said. "You should go and see her." "I beg your pardon?" "If that is what it will take for her to leave us alone, then you have to do it." "I'm sure she wants a lot more than just to set eyes on me."
