Billionaire's Captive Chapter 69
-JOANNE— Two days before my celebratory party. Theodore and I are seated with Hardy in one of the mansion’s empty rooms, talking about the twentieth.For some reasons. I felt enlightenment.Because Hardy was always fond of disdaining me whenever it came to sharing his plans. He would only let Theodore in on it, but tonight he was making me part of it.And it made sense because I was aware of it all.We were trying to fix the crazy puzzle together and rearrange ours. Trinity had walked in and out of the room every now and then, getting us water and all sorts of food.We’ve spent a good six hours in the room trying to come up with different alternatives and routes to take if plans A or B don’t align and manage to collide.We’ve managed to come to the conclusion that Lisa’s killer could be anyone. But the source we needed to pick from was from the White Ale-o house. Hardy looked unfazed, mentioning Lisa’s name a few times, and I tried to fight the urge to scream the truth out lou

-JOANNE—I was gasping for breath as Anne’s grip tightened around my neck, suffocating me. She was a tornado, twisting me around and smashing me into the table like a ragdoll. Adrenaline kicked in, and I fought back with everything I had. My fingers clawed at her hair and pushed against her slim frame, trying to gain any kind of advantage. But her strength was superhuman, and her nails dug into my neck like talons.I had to think fast.Desperation set in. I lunged at her shirt, gripping it tightly as if my life depended on it—and it did. I pulled hard, forcing her slender form to stumble forward. It was a desperate gamble, a Hail Mary pass to even the odds. I might’ve been down, but I wasn’t out. Not yet. My heart was racing, my muscles screaming, but I wasn’t about to let Anne win. I wasn’t about to let her take everything from me.I finally got the upper hand at things, and as I tried to hit her, Ruby came in full charge at me, pushing me to hit my head on the brick wall and causi

—JOANNE~I opened my eyes to meet nothing but complete darkness. But my body was moving. I tried to breathe out a yielding sigh only to realize my mouth has been shut with a rough cloth.I let out a muffle scream and tried to seat up.My hands were tied in front of me but thankfully my legs were free.I scuttled before sitting up and realizing I was in a black van.I let out muffled screams that didn’t even stretch at any distant The driver driving the van slightly turned to me and nodded.“You’re awake.“Who the fuck are you” my scream came out muffled but he understood me well and replied me quietly.“Go back to sleep.” I kicked his chair and he scoffed.“A fierce one aren’t we?” I wanted to scream but I couldn’t, instead I started to cry.My eyes started to blink rapidly when I saw the thick ropes sitting beside me.No!History was indeed repeating itself.“Where are you taking me!” My scream loosened the cloth around my mouth a bit and the man driving sighed.“Just shut the fuc

I simultaneously felt the cold nail polish on my fingers and the soft brush on my hair. The strong metallic and sweet odor caused my stomach to churn, but I couldn't tell whether it was the nail polish or my nervousness that was involved.As one of the maids attempted to apply mascara to my unstable blinking eyes, I apologized after she attempted to conceal her anger by tsking incessantly."Ma’am”, please," she pleaded.I apologized again after clearing my voice.Once I had completed adorning my face, I was calmly instructed to stand and cautiously enter my luxurious purple silk gown.I was following whatever these maids in black and blue uniforms told me, and before I knew it, I looked like a completely different person as I stood in front of the mirror to look at myself."You look amazing, ma'am." The youngest-looking maid among them said, smiling at me.I wanted to thank her, but I couldn't find my voice after she continued."Master will really be pleased with you."Master...The wo

She immediately flashed me an apologetic smile."I'm sorry, beauty is pain, isn't it?" She joked and laughed to herself.I remained quiet and watched nothing but my reflection as I recalled what their 'Master' said to me this morning."I'm sure you know it's tonight." His words repeated themselves for the hundredth time in my head, and I shivered.What was tonight?What about tonight? I've had on about three outfits today in this very room, just for the sake of this master, and all the dresses were made of silk, but I only saw him once.
