The Billionaire Mistress

DANIELLE CARTERI get out of my car with urgency not even bothering whether I had parked well in the hospital parking lot. the car door closes with a bang and I run into the busy hospital, not caring about the patients they were wheeling in and out of the hospital or the crazy strong smell of drugs and sick people I hated the hospitals a lot. I could not calm down or think of any other thing but the call I had received from the police earlier. I was sitting at home watching a reality show when the call had come in through Carlos's phone. the joy of picking up the call from my fiance was cut short when instead of his sweet Spanish accent I heard the siren of a police car and a middle-aged man telling me on the phone that my fiance had just gotten into an accident. " Ma'am would you please move out of the way " I ignore the voice again and keep running till I get into the waiting room area, I sight the counter where some nurses are standing and chatting and I walk up to them." Hi..hi

" Gabriella I can assure you that he will be okay soon," I say. as soon as I had gotten home from the hospital, I called Carlos's sister to explain the situation to her so they would know what is going on. " When will they operate on him ? " she asks. I take off my shoes by the door and put my legs into my flip-flops before walking inside the house " Tomorrow, the first surgery is and I assure you that he will be fine. I saw him and you know he is a fighter. he will fight for us " I assure her even if I am the one that needs assuring more." Okay please tell me how it goes, I will talk to mum and dad about the money too," she says and I sigh" The money is a lot. even if your parents do all they can, we can't possibly afford it all. I will also try here to see what I can get so we will pay. I will text you about what I can get to don't worry " I say" Thank you so much, Elle, you are the best," she says and hangs up. I drop my phone on the couch and sigh again before resting my back

" Ladies," Nathan says bringing everyone to look at him. I look away from him and focus on my phone doing nothing in particular. " Nathan " they all chorused and I frowned and cringed at the sound of his name. all these women are married and still Nathan has this kind of effect on them." Can you guys believe that I sent an email to Nathan about the reunion and the venue not even knowing that Nathan himself owns this place? " Josette says and everyone laughs including Nathan." How have you all been ? " he asks no one in particular but they all reply. I still do not utter a word because now that he was here I do not feel the need to stay longer. I could feel his gaze on me as he made little conversations with the ladies asking about their families and businesses." Danielle," he says softly and I stare at him in shock. I know he came here to taunt me but I didn't expect him to have the guts to call my name. " Nathan " I greet politely before looking away again." Oh Danielle you are

DanielleMy steps quickens as I enter the hospital. Unlike before, it isn't rowdy but quiet this time, perhaps there's no emergency.I stroll into Carlos ward, I couldn't help the tears that envelop me the minute I lay eyes on him. Dragging my feets further, I crouch to his level staring at his face. He is sleeping so calmly, he looks better than yesterday.I snivel and lay my head on his chest, praying for his safety.The door opens and a nurse enters. On her left hand lies a table file, and a syringe on the other hand. “Good morning, nurse.” I manage a greeting.“You're here, Miss Danielle.” She mumbles and shrinks the injection.My eyes guard her every move and as she proceeds to inject him with it I ask, “what is that for?”Taking one glance at me, she replies, “it's to keep him asleep so he doesn't interrupt the surgery.” I nod, chewing on my lips.As I watch her inject him her words registered in my brain. “Surgery.” I say, muttering the word like it's news to me.My initial

NathanSlamming the door angrily, I pull down my sleeves advancing into the company. I had managed to keep up with every shenanigan Lisa performed at the restaurant and now I am having a terrible day.“Good afternoon sir,” one of my staff passes me a greeting as I walk past the block of offices.I don't respond and just continue on my way, my tongue moving all over my mouth as I think of Lisa. I know she purposely served me an extremely hot tea just to get back at me.Turning the doorknob, I step into my office and I'm shocked to see Danielle standing before me. I stagger backwards, almost colliding into the door.“Why aren't you taking your calls?” She screams at my face, huffing.The shock clears from my body and I gawk at her in disbelief. Not uttering a word, I walk to my desk and ring my secretary's telecom.“Get in here.” I say in one breath.Danielle stares at me in disbelief, she's about to say something but she stops, shrugging instead.Just then the door opens and Janet ru
