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

I did all of this for my baby. There was no way I could let him catch me now. When…I am so close to hold her in my arms and give her a life where she will be saved from her father. Even the thought that Matteo can harm my baby was enough to…to make me want to murder. But right now the safe way was to leave from here. I started getting my stuff out and hear Veronica say, “You were serious? Oh my God, I need to call David.”

“No,…” I stopped her.

“You know the rule. Never talk about me on the phone.” I said and she froze.

“You can’t do this. You are…you are my responsibility. He trusted me with you. I need to know where you will go.” I kept on packing and once I was finished with the dresses I caught the small bag I had prepared to welcome my baby.

“It’s better if you don’t know where I am leaving to,” I whispered and she gasped.

“Give me a break, girl. I can't let you go out without knowing you have a proper place. You…you...you can go to…US. Yea…that’s where you belong. And, please…go to your family. What’s the point of hiding if he has already found you? Last time you escaped because he wasn’t ready for the blow. But if now he knows where you are…he will reach you no matter what.” I looked at her and rested my knees on the floor. I felt helpless.

“I…I don’t have the money to buy the ticket. I…”

“I…can give you the money. It will be better if you got your friends’ help. There will be someone to support you. Also, he has more connections in Italy. Not…in the US...duh” I stared at her for a few seconds before shaking my head in no.

“I can’t do that. I can’t take this money.”

“Seriously, Julie? Don’t do this right now. Only think about Ava.” She said and I feel like my heart will explode. I didn’t want my little girl to suffer. And, Veronica was right. I don’t have anything in my mind except planning to get far from here. And, in this condition, I should get whatever help coming my way.

It was eleven in the morning and I had to wait for one more hour until my flight. There were other families there. A middle-aged man was trying to make his toddler calm.

I was so mad at myself. It was all because of me that my baby will have to keep hiding. I know Matteo loves his money. I am sure he doesn’t want a kid to share the claim on anything he had been hoarding. I didn’t want my little girl Ava to suffer like this. She was innocent and only wanted to live.

And, I was absolutely pissed at Mr Lucca for trapping me here in this marriage. I don’t know about others but my baby was literally everything for me. I didn’t have any known blood relations besides her. And, she needed me as much as I wanted her. I tried to calm myself thinking that life is the greatest gift that I am trying to give her. And, once she is a little older…she will understand better.

The announcement for our flight was made. I got up but forgot to pick my purse and tried to bend when a girl in her teens helped me pick it up. I smiled thinking the world is full of kind people. I will have other people along my way.

I tried to keep this smile intact. I needed to be happy and relaxed if I wanted my baby girl to stay healthy. Though Veronica asked me to contact my family there, I knew I couldn’t do this. Contacting them means making Matteo's work easier and making even more people suffer. I only wanted to give birth in peace. I didn’t want to deal with Matteo ever. For me, my baby’s life was enough.

I waited at the gate and wonder why there was no one. Maybe I was more concerned to get here on time. I looked at my belly and boarded the plane. The hostess smiled and showed me the way. Instead of taking me to the economy, she took me to the business class. “My ticket…” I tried to say but she cut me off.

“No, take the seat here. You are pregnant. Get this special treatment.” I narrowed my eyes wondering what it could be about. I looked around and there was no one except one man who was reading some magazine. I took the seat and looked out of the window but heard the announcement to get our seatbelts fastened.

Already? The plane was literally empty.

I wonder what’s wrong and got my seatbelts but then sense something in the air. The plane was already taking off but all I could recall was this scent. It smelled like his closet.

My heart started thumping wildly against my chest and my throat got dry. He is here. He had caught me. I tried to open my seatbelt with my trembling hands, but sensing a close presence, I jumped looking up.

He effortlessly took the seat beside me and read the magazine but one could sense how pissed he was. His hard jaw could tell he would kill at any moment. He had changed a lot with his beard and hair but all I could see was the end. I gasped when he looked at me. His eyes were quick to fell on my belly but then travelled back to me.

“Matt...” I almost sobbed.

“Won’t you welcome me…” He rested his head on the headset before gritting the words. “…my wife.”

This will be the end of Billionaire's wife.
