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

I waited for Peter in the evening but the person who came to see me was no one other than Mr Webber. I totally forgot about him coming to see me.

“Hello, Mr Lucca.” I looked at him disinterested but then motioned him to take the seat in my study. “What it’s about?” I asked though I knew he worries about nothing but my intention of moving the business from here to Italy. And, that was inevitable.

“I only wanted you to share your future plans regarding the company I am managing.” I inhaled sharply and signalled one of the servers.

“I am fine. I don’t drink at this time of the day.” He said and I nodded my head before starting.

“How much time it will take if I want to move the headquarters of the company to Italy.” His face changed colours but he nodded his head in respect before starting. “It will take about five months.” My eyes got narrowed as I inhaled sharply. That was a lot of hassle.

“And, what about you? Would you like to move?” I asked and he didn’t take time to reply.

“Of course, if I will be given the chance I would like to continue working for you.”

“Great,” But before I could take the sip off my drink he started, “But many employees will not be able to make the move. And, it is worrying almost everyone at the company.”

“We can’t care about it? Can we?” I asked and I could tell he wasn’t comfortable. He didn’t have a choice but to agree with me. And, I love moments like these. I work my ass off to stay at the position where the rest of the people don’t stand a chance but agree with me.

One of the staff came to tell me that Peter is here to see me and I looked at Mr Webber expectantly but the moment he got up I added, “I will come to the office tomorrow. And, you are to tell me in how many parts and levels the move will take place.” He seemed tense visibly but only replied, “Of course, I will be waiting for you.”

“Where was she?” I asked the moment Peter came in.

“I am not bearing good news.” And, his words were enough to make my mood sour.

“…she went into the staff area and made the exit from there. There are no camera’s at that place for the last two months.”

I winced at the thought. Something told me as if I won’t be able to get her. But then a thought shook me. “Do you have the list of all the people who attended our gala that day?” I asked making him nod his head as he typed something on his pad.

“Here,” He passed me his pad.

As the name list passes, some names boiled my blood. I started striking and marked at least thirty. “I want you to buy someone in their household. We can’t take any risks, Peter. If any of them have her or helping her I don’t know what I will do.”

“But there are still some ways…” He was about to say something when I shouted.

“Is this thing a joke to you? I need to be sure that these men don’t have her. Do you get me?” In the end, Julie was just a woman. Anyone can manipulate her with wealth and a little bit of care.

“Mr Lucca this is the investment plan for the next five years. And, also the investigator wanted the details of everything Mrs Lucca took in her suitcase.” And, this is when I wonder too what she had taken with her. I am sure she had taken a lot of jewellery and will easily be caught if she tries to sell it. But if she doesn’t sell, it means there is surely someone very influential helping her out.

“You let him do whatever he wants to do. I want Julie as soon as possible. Or what I am going to tell this whole world? And,…not to forget she is pregnant. Peter? The last thing I want is to let her deliver this baby. She…will never be the mother of my kids? Do you get me?” He nodded his head before stating,

“Mr Lucca…what if she tried to report it to the police? Just as a caution I have asked some people to stay around all the stations in our city. So,…” And, before he could finish I laugh shaking my head.

“She knows she can’t match my power and resources. I am sure someone is helping her and keep an eye on that driver.” And, this made me wonder what gave her strength? And, the more I think about it the more I firmly believed that she had already trap one of the influencers in my circles. What else can be expected from a low being like her?

I can’t recall when was the last time when things were this much out of my control. Yea, the day I married her maybe. Peter left and I stared at the file. I did have huge plans coming up in seven more months. And, staying in the US didn’t make any sense.

I laughed recalling the moment she looked into my eyes. “Gentleman?” I laughed harder.
