The Billionaire’s Bet Chapter 40
ANTHONY I looked at my phone and sighed in bliss, my plan had worked perfectly. I had abducted Nicole and had managed to fool everyone, including Marcus, into thinking that I was dead.Beside me, Mariella lay naked, her fingers curled around a cigarette as she exhaled a stream of smoke into the air.With a sly smile, I held out my phone to her, my eyes glinting with triumph."Take a look at this," I said, my voice laced with satisfaction. "I pulled it off. They all fell for it, hook, line, and sinker."Mariella's eyes sparkled with excitement as she leaned towards me, her lips curved into a mischievous grin."Can you believe it?" she whispered, her voice filled with wonder. "Our plan worked perfectly. But this is just the beginning."It had been Mariella's idea, to begin with, and I had executed it flawlessly. When she had suggested abducting Nicole and staging my death, I had been hesitant at first. But now, seeing how well everything had gone, I knew it was the right decision.I

NICOLEI entered the therapist's office waiting room, my eyes darted around the space, taking in the familiar surroundings. The soothing scent of lavender candles mingled with the sterile smell of disinfectant, creating an odd but calming aroma. I tried to steady my breathing, but my fingers betrayed my nervousness as they danced over each other in a frenzied rhythm.Beside me, Marcus radiated a warmth that helped me feel grounded, even though my insides were twisted in knots. His hand was a solid anchor that kept me from spiraling into a panic attack. His presence gave me strength.With a gentle squeeze, Marcus spoke in a hushed voice, cutting through the tension like a knife."You're doing the right thing, Nicole. I'm proud of you." His eyes sparkled with an unwavering love that gave me the courage to face my demons head-on.I tilted my head to meet his gaze, allowing myself a moment of vulnerability. "I just want to feel like myself again," I whispered, my voice shaky. "I hate f

NICOLE “What happened to me?" I asked, my eyes darting from my father to my mother, searching for answers. Their forced smiles did little to ease the tension in the room.I fidgeted in my seat, desperate for any explanation. "Can you please tell me what happened to me? Why can't I remember most things, especially the major part of my childhood?" I implored.Silence hung heavy in the air as my parents exchanged a meaningful look. Their furrowed brows spoke volumes, but they remained tight-lipped. My heart thudded in my chest as I waited for a response.Finally, my mother let out a deep sigh, and her shoulders slumped. Her voice was soft and hesitant as she spoke. "Nicole, you got into an accident when you were nine years old," she said, her eyes locked onto mine.My heart sank as my mother continued. "You hit your head pretty hard, and the doctors said you suffered some memory loss. They weren't sure if you would recover, but you did, for the most part. But there are still some memor

NICOLE The doctor's words hung heavy in the air, the room suddenly feeling suffocatingly small. "You're pregnant," he said simply, his tone devoid of emotion. For a moment, I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me, my mind struggling to comprehend what he had just said.I sat there in silence, my eyes fixed on a random spot on the wall as I tried to process the news. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was on birth control, and I always used protection. How could this have gone wrong?I sat there lost in thought, the weight of what was happening started to sink in. I was going to be a mother. Me. The thought was terrifying. I wasn't ready for this. I wasn't ready to give up my freedom, my independence, my life as I knew it. The mere thought of motherhood filled me with a sense of overwhelming dread.Marcus looked at me with concern, but I couldn't bring myself to meet his gaze. I felt like I had been blindsided, and I wasn't sure if I was ready to face this new reality.The

NICOLE I sat on the floor, feeling anxious and on edge. I had just another dream.I couldn't ignore these dreams any longer.My pregnancy was making things even more difficult. I couldn't eat anything without feeling nauseous, and my stomach was constantly churning. I needed to take care of myself and the baby, but I couldn't shake the feeling of unease.I sat on the bathroom floor for a while, trying to calm my breathing and steady my nerves. I still haven't told Marcus about my recurring dreams. I should have told him but I didn't want to worry him. He might even think I was going crazy or being paranoid as usual.Eventually, I got up and made my way back to the bedroom. Marcus was still sleeping, but I couldn't bring myself to lie down next to him. I felt too anxious and restless.I tiptoed out of bed, careful not to disturb Marcus' peaceful slumber. I made my way to the computer and powered it on. As the familiar startup chime rang out, a notification popped up on the screen i

NicoleMarcus' voice boomed in the museum, which caught us all off guard.I watched in disbelief as he towered over the staff member, his voice shaking the very walls of the museum. "Where are they?" he demanded. "I was promised these paintings would be here. Don't tell me you've lost them."The staff member remained calm in the face of Marcus' fury, her voice barely audible above the din. "Calm down sir," she said. "We can't purposely hoard the paintings. If they were truly here, then we would show you."I stood frozen in place, my eyes darting back and forth between Marcus and the staff member. I couldn't believe what was happening. But then Marcus turned to me, his voice still ringing with anger. "Did you hear that?" he spat. "They're lying to us."I shook my head, my mind reeling. "But I was told by the receptionist at the front desk that they had arrived," I said. "I have emails confirming the delivery."The staff nodded, looking thoughtful. "I see," he said. "Well, let me look i

NicoleWho could have stolen my paintings and why would they do such a thing ?Was it someone who had a personal grudge against me? Or was it a calculated theft by someone hoping to make a profit?All those thoughts had been spiraling through my mind.Even though Nicole had assured me she was going to assist me in painting I was still skeptical. I wanted it to be my handwork and sweat.The Museum had put so much trust in me and had given me the incredible opportunity. I felt guilty that I had let them down.Even though it wasn't my fault.I was currently in the art studio, trying to see if I could come up with something.But as soon as the familiar scent of oil paint filled my nostrils, my stomach churned and a wave of nausea hit me like a ton of bricks.I pressed a hand to my mouth, trying to stifle the urge to vomit as I made my way over to my easel. But the pungent odor only seemed to intensify, assaulting my senses with every step.I couldn't deny it any longer - my pregnancy was

MARCUS“Thank goodness," Nicole muttered under her breath, her voice laced with a mix of relief and anger. "What are we still waiting for? Let's go to the station now and see the face of that wicked person."I put a hand on her shoulder, feeling the tension in her muscles. "No!" I said firmly, my voice cutting through her impatience. "Wait here, I will go alone."Nicole's eyes widened in surprise and protest. "Alone? Why? I want to see her too!"I shook my head. "It's not safe for both of us to go charging in there. I need to assess the situation first and make sure it's not a trap."Nicole's expression softened slightly "Okay," she said, her voice quieting. "Just be careful, okay?"I rushed to the police station to go see the culprit. My feet pounded against the pavement as I ran towards the police station.When I finally burst through the doors, my eyes scanned the crowded room, searching for any sign of the culprit.That's when I saw her. Sitting there in handcuffs, looking small
