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

“GPS honey?” I laughed shaking my head. “Yea…” I sighed letting my back relax. I don’t know how but seeing David had lifted my mood completely.

“I have gotten a girlfriend too. And, she will be here in a scholarship program,”

“Really? Wow…I am happy for you.” I replied,

“Thanks…her name is Veronica. And, the moment she came to know that I am going for Italy she dropped her semester to join a university here.” I don’t know why my heart squeezed. Was I jealous of him? I shouldn’t be, right? I wonder if Matteo has talked about me like this to anyone as I stare at the sidewalks.

“I am really happy for you,” I told him. I was so thankful for the shades over my eyes.

“By the way, you didn’t come to see your family. Or not even invited them…I talked to Rachael…she said she misses hearing your voice…”

“I really don’t get a lot of time here…I am in contact with Anna. I message her every day to tell her about my day…Rachael is mostly busy in the store…so…”

“Oh yea,” He replied but I opened my cell phone to look at the messages.

It had been a week since I last talked to Anna. And, the group with my friends’ was blowing up with texts too. I opened it to see multiple messages mentioning me. Some had videos of Cecilia's son. Or their meet-ups for Josephine’s wedding.

“Hey girls,” I sent the message with hearts.

No one was online right now but I got to see the pictures of Katelyn with her husband. I wonder if I will ever click a picture with Matteo like this. No…I already knew the answer.

The car was pulled in front of an outlet. I was welcomed by two women as they were already aware of my arrival. I was taken to a somewhat VIP section…and was offered tea with different kinds of cookies.

“Mr Colombo? Can you get David here too? I won’t feel good if he will stay outside. He is my friend before being my driver.” He looked at me and tried to say something but then decided against it and left. Only after a few seconds, the women came out with five dresses…the green one was long and didn’t have a back. I recalled the handprints that I could have on my back. The blue one seemed royal and had my heart but it had a deep neck…I think I could go with this one. Because it will be easy applying makeup in the front. And, then came the black one that had a long slit on the leg and had long sleeves. I loved this one too.

Soon, I noticed David and Mr Colombo coming in. They were served the tea too. “I liked these three…but…do you have something else.”

“Not…not black,” “not the black one,” Both men spoke and I wonder why but smiled before replying. “I liked this one…just look at this one.”

They shared a glance as if they know something I didn’t but I got up before saying. “I will try the black one.” I left but find Mr Colombo telling the salesgirl to show more dress.

I came out wearing the black one and from their reactions, it didn’t seem bad. Even in the mirror, it was great.

“But…there are many other colours.” David spoke before adding, “…you already have a lot of dress in black,” This earned him a look from Mr Colombo but I guess he was right. Even today I came out wearing black.

“Fine,…I will try this one.” I pointed to the blue one but the moment I changed into this one I stared in the mirror to graze his marks on my breasts. And, there were many…some from three days ago, some from the last night, and others from the last week that still had some little mark left.

I changed into my dress before announcing. “I am keeping this dress.”

“That’s unfair. You should have shown this to us.” David spoke making Mr Colombo clear his throat.

I tried the dress alone afterwards and some needed alterations and I left them there to get it in my size. I was still able to get four dresses. We bought shoes afterwards before my next stop turned out to be a hair salon. I was told that I was here to get rebounding and get some light streaks.

“Excuse me,” I laughed a little.

“Mr Colombo?” I asked to which he replied,

“Mr Lucca has requested,” Mr Colombo replied with his face hidden behind some magazine. But I knew he didn't request. He ordered. I went on with the procedure scared of how it would turn out.

I had my hair straight after the procedure and got out looking like a new person. I don’t know but I was looking forward to what David will say about this.

“You look good,” He said the moment I was back in the car. “…But,…” He trailed off and that got my heart.

“You look big for your age now. You are not looking like you are eighteen anymore.” I didn’t know if I was to laugh over it or be mad.

“I am not eighteen…So, I don’t know…maybe I should look like this now, David.” This made him turn to look at me.

“Why?” He asked making me shrug my shoulders.

“I don’t want anyone to look at me and wonder if I still attend high school.” I laughed and was surprised since when I have started finding for the reasons.

It was four when we returned and I get back to order some lunch. I got out things to get ready for dinner. I was all ready to leave at six in the evening and started waiting. It was past eight when his car arrived…I waited for him to come out but instead the driver came in to inform, “Mrs Lucca…Mr. Lucca is waiting for you outside.” I don’t know why I was worried…but how much I hoped for this night to pass without any issue.

I walked out and the driver opened the door, for me to only inhale in his thick cologne. I get in staring at Matteo who had his head leaned into the seat and had a drink in his hand. He was sitting very close to me...hardly giving me any place to sit.

“Good evening,” I greeted him making him look at me lazily. He smiled before uttering, “Today,…I am so…” He trailed off looking at me.

“Fuck…you look tasty.” His arm came to rest over my shoulders before he pulled me in. I was wearing the same blue dress but had my marks covered with the foundation.
