The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-two: Her Doom
Rose’s POVWe drove for a while with the gun pointed to my head until he directed me into a dirt-covered forest road. The road was lonely with no houses or signs of human life. My heart was palpitating wildly, the longer we drove and my shaky fingers clutched onto the steering wheel, as though it could magically save me from the doom that was awaiting me. I didn’t need to think twice to know he was working for the Don. They must have been aware of my release from Jian’s home and must have been following me. Today was their lucky day. My eyes watered at the thoughts of my stupidity. Once again, I’ve made another silly decision that would finally lead me to my untimely death.My teary eyes met with the man’s in the rearview mirror, but his dark unblinking gaze had me gulping. He pressed the gun harder to my head until I began to feel an ache at the spot, and I wordlessly heed his command, focussing my tears-blurred eyes on the road but even then, my thoughts were not on the road. They
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-three: A New Cycle
Rose’s POVThe blurry shadow of a tall figure towering above me was the first thing my eyes noticed and I began to arouse from the throes of unconsciousness. I tried to hasten the process by widening my eyes just to make out the figure above me but it was as if I had no control of my body. I felt utterly weak and powerless, just laying down, helpless to whoever was standing over me.It didn't help that my head was pounding and aching so much, and my heart was racing just from the thoughts and fear of the man watching me. I had no idea where I was nor could I recall how I got there but I was very much aware of who he could be.It was no other than Don Torelli. The only thing I could recall was that I was captured again by his men, and they were going to transport me to him. My heart rate spiked up and goosebumps broke out on my skin, sudden cold traveling down my spine as I began to settle into the reality that my days were numbered. Who knew? There could only be a few more hours left
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-four: Just another apology
Jian’s POVI stood by my office window, a glass of bourbon in hand as I stared past the tall buildings I could see, but my mind wasn’t on them, nor on their magnificence. It was all on the woman in my bedroom, who I’d somehow tied myself to, believing that I was somehow her savior yet every chance she got, she threw all of it away without a second thought and accused me of different crimes without even batting an eye.Every darn time, her accusations tear at my heart but then I find myself making excuses for her as soon as she lands herself into another hot pit of trouble. Is this a curse? I asked myself this question as I stared past the buildings but I couldn’t find an answer. I could easily contact her parents and ask them to come take their brat but I fear there was more to whatever she was hiding than meets the eyes, and it couldn’t be a coincidence for her to have been targeted by sex traffickers two different times. Or maybe, just maybe, it could be attributed to her carelessn
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-five: A life of lies
Rose’s POV“Come on, love, you can do it,” He whispered into my ears, pressing me tightly to his chest once more before letting me go.We were at the parking lot of the nursing facility my mom had been admitted to since her accident, as she could no longer take proper care of herself. When I’d first come in search of her, I expected her to be at a proper hospital, receiving the best care in the world but I was shocked to discover she was relocated to a nursing facility. I had a lot of questions to ask my dad regarding this but for now, I had a score to settle. I needed to confess my sins and ask for their forgiveness.“I’ll come with you, if you want,” he said, even after pulling away but our hands were still connected, and I saw the sincerity in his eyes as I stared at him.“It’s… it’s fine,” I offered him a small smile and he merely nodded. “Thank you for doing this for me,”“Anything for you, Rosie,” he raised my arm that was still in his hold, to his lips and kissed it softly.He’
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-six: More to unfold
Rose’s POV“Let’s go,” I said in a dry emotionless voice as soon as I got to Jian’s car. The anger and disappointment accompanied with heartbreak that I was feeling was so great that it had my lips wobbling and my eyes twitching but I struggled to keep still just so he wouldn’t notice that something was off but with the way his gaze rested on me after hearing my words, I knew he has read my mood and was aware that something was amiss. “Rosie…” he spoke after a long silence, carefully looking at me. He tried to reach for me but I moved away from his hold and rounded the car to get in the passenger seat. From my seat, I heard him heave a sigh before getting in. “It didn’t go well, did it?”I knew he’d keep pushing and I didn’t want him to become too curious about what had happened in there as I wasn’t ready to talk about it or even think too much into my mother’s confession. It still felt like a dream and I was going to let it remain that way.“Not really,” I finally responded, in a d
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-seven: More lies
Rose’s POV“There’s something else your mother is hiding, Rose. You need to know the truth about your biological father,”I stared at the note while trying to make sense of the words I was reading but it all sounded like a lie. At one point, I blinked just to make sure I wasn’t day dreaming but my eyes met with the same note and the same words written on it.I had the urge to laugh but it just wouldn’t come. This must be a prank because what was this? That Williams wasn’t my biological father?It was unbelievable. I grew up to know Williams as my dad. He’s always been in my life and has always been there for me. If he wasn’t my dad, then why show up countless times and show me so much love?I shook my head, refusing to believe it but the more I stared at the note, the more I wondered if there was some truth in the words that stared back at me. Coupled with my mom’s recent confession, it was a tough choice to get rid of the doubt that was beginning to grow within me. What if she had mo
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-eight: A con
Jian’s POVI stared at her as she slept peacefully in my bed. She looked so angelic and calm that I tried staying silent so as not to wake her. Her gloomy mood from the hospital had faded off after I agreed to let her stay with me for the duration of her school holiday and to take her to see her best friend at school, and I was glad that she’d confessed the truth to her mom. We’d made dinner together, and she returned to bed again. With my help, she was able to fall asleep and I was meant to be sleeping next to her, but I couldn’t.The detective I hired to look into her past got back to me this afternoon while she’d been napping. He sent an entire file containing every information about her and as ecstatic as I was to see it, my curiosity had waned when I downloaded the file into my computer. As eager as I was to expose all of her demons and whatever she was running from, I was also skeptical of what I’ll find, especially when it comes to her connection with this Don who is supposed
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-nine: Payday
Rose’s POV “Hi, good morning,” I murmured a greeting to Jian as I walked into the kitchen and slumped into one of the stools at the breakfast bar. It was past 10 in the morning and I’d just awaken from my beauty sleep. Besides being unconscious, I couldn’t recall the last time I slept so well and without nightmares to jerk me awake. What can I say? Sleeping next to Jian’s warm body had its perks. “Good morning, baby,” He responded, still facing the stove with his back turned to me as he continued cooking. I loved seeing him in the kitchen. It made him look so carefree and yummy, and it was one part of him that warmed my heart, unlike the daunting businessman that set it on fire. A yawn escaped my lips as I kept staring at him. He finished from the stove, untied the apron at his waist, tossed it on the counter, and headed towards me. “How was your night, love?” he leaned down and casually pressed his lips to my temple, making warmth spread within me, and my cheeks heated up in a bl
