Billionaire's wife by Ashleh Queen (free ebook novel TXT) 📗

Captor

“I burned that Porsche. What do you think I am going to do today?” He laughed and the moment his words registered my knees denied to balance my weight.

“You…you can’t do this. I…we have a party going on. And,…And,…I am…I am…” I was going out of breath and was about to fell in panic as all I see was going black, “Relax, just relax…I was joking, Julie,” A laugh from his mouth made me a puzzle. I refuse to look at him as I tried to get my breathing to normal.

“Come on, you don’t want to get down there like this.” He said rubbing my tears away.

“Why are you doing this?” I hiccupped and got my shoulder up to get his hand away. He smiled before whispering. “I was just having a conversation to see what we can do for this problem..." He rubbed my shoulder as I was his pet. "...You see…I can’t really break my ties with him. And, you will never stop inviting him. You are beautiful. It’s not…in your hands. So, I have come up with a solution. Will you mind following me?” He said taking out his arm for me to take.

I walked beside him but stopped the moment I notice he had taken me to a very large window. “Trust me…come here.” He said and I sniffed before giving my hand in his and took two steps to the window. “Isn’t it very calm here?” I looked at him wondering what he is planning to do.

“What? I was only trying to talk…like a couple…to see what we can do to solve this issue. Just look at how calm it is here. How calm this night is?” I turn to look at the window but soon found someone going down. I gasped taking two steps back and looked at Matteo for the explanation.

“What?... I can’t cut ties with his family. And, now he will never think about you.” I only had my eyes widened. I didn’t dare to move. I know I didn’t have in me to look down to see what happened to that person.

“You see…the moment you stood from your place..." His mouth was on my ear. "…all the time not creating a scene knowing how important this gala was for me.” He said close to my face while I only stared at the window before looking at him. “You…proved you are the only one who should be my wife.” He came closer before holding my face.

“Just don’t stay still…say something?” I jumped when he got louder and looked at him lost.

“I…you…is he dead?” I said and looked into his eyes. My lips trembled when I found him annoyed,

“Tell me that you love me…that I am…the best husband…or how you feel secure with me…how you love to depend on me…anything Julie…anything.”

I looked at the window again before looking at him. “Thank you…you…you are the best.” I waited for his response and he nodded his head. “You are welcome,”

I had this constant urge to throw up when we returned to our place. They announced what the organization has done so far with the donations gathered last year but no matter what I couldn’t feel at rest. I wonder what happened to his body because here nobody gets to have the slightest idea of what happened. I looked at my purse that had my cell phone back. Matteo returned it. Does it mean he trust me now?

“Julie?” I heard someone say and jumped looking at my back. I blinked and realized it was Mrs Sofia. I know her.

“Hey, you are fine?” She asked and I felt Matteo’s hand on my shoulder. “Yes, she is absolutely fine. Why don’t you join us?” Matteo answered instead,

She had a boy with him. I was sure he was in high school or something. He came forward to join hands with Matteo and sat beside him while I passed a smile to Mrs Sofia. "He is my son, Thomas." I looked at Thomas. He had brown curls and passed me a smile that I couldn’t return and looked back to Mrs Sofia as she talked about how his son had been accepted for an internship in Matteo's enterprise.

“Why you didn’t tell me?” Matteo asked and I got my hand on my head to notice it was all sweaty.

“He didn’t tell me too. He is interested in building structures.”

“Tell me the designer you want to work with. I will appoint you to him.” Matteo replied and that kid smiled.

“Excuse me,” I said before leaving the table and tried to have my composure as I reached one of the men with the wire in their ear.  “Can you show me to the ladies room?” I asked and he gestured me to the lobby that could be spotted on the far right end. I got in there to find it empty. Two huge mirrors were fixed at the wall. It was well lighted here. I took some paper towel to dab it against my forehead and inhaled a huge gulp of air recalling the moment when he gestured to he was going to burn me. I was sure I had something messed up with me when I started feeling dizzy.

A gag took the best of me making me push against one of the doors at my back. I bent and expelled all the water I accepted from Matteo a few minutes ago. A tear escaped my left eye as I sat there leaning to the wall at my left. It was so silent here and I wonder if I had any strength left to get out of here.

“I don’t know how I can keep up with these women. She won’t stop asking questions.” I heard some heels coming and recognized one of the voices to be Mrs Anderson.

“Don’t worry, this night won’t stay forever.” A voice replied,

“It’s madness here I tell you. We are here to talk with someone and that person is here to talk with someone else. And, do you know what Wilson told us? That Olivia should have married Mr Lucca? Can you believe it?”

A smile followed before I heard, “Seriously?” I get it must be Mrs Campbell.

“And, Mrs Garcia…she really tried hard to get her hands on that necklace. It is as if she wants to have everything that’s an edition. It’s crazy.”

“It’s just a necklace…You know I don’t dwell on such things.” The voice replied,

“Well, people don’t find it as just a necklace…” Mr Anderson replied. I get these were only two and leaned my head to the wall to have some rest for this constant dizziness.

“Did you get to talk with Mr and Mrs Hashimi?” Mrs Campbell asked,
