A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 26
Daniella's Pov“What do you think?” I asked Javier's opinion when he came over to see his protrait that I was done with.For the past one week, he's always here at the attic which is now a studio all thanks to him. Since I promised him a protrait as my appreciation gift to him, he's always here sitting like a model in front of me while I sketch him in my canvas.It's been really amazing this couple of days because we end up talking about work and some old stuffs in our lives. It's like we grew to know each other more in just this short time. Surprisingly, I find Javier to be such a kind and sweet soul behind that whole facade. “Hmm, I don't think my nose is that pointed. This here, is curved to one side.” He said, rubbing his chin with his scrutinizing gaze fixated at the painting of him.“What? There is nothing wrong with it. It's exactly like your nose.” I objected, turning to him and using my paint brush to trace his nose.I froze when I saw his nose now colored in green paint. Oh

Javier's PovWe finally arrived home, I walked in and went up straight to my room. My head's aching again, I need to take my pain relief tablets. I really need to see Dr. Montes, I need to know why this headache is becoming constant. I opened the door of my bedroom, but I came to a halt when I saw who was sitting on my bed.Victoria? What on earth is she doing in this room? On the bed, dressed in a sexy looking night gown?I watched as she came down from the bed on seeing me and walked up to me with this silly smile on her face. She stopped right in front of me.“What are you doing in here Victoria?” I asked, trying to show her how unpleasant it is to see her here.“Waiting for you to return.” She said, giving me a big smile.“Victoria, I ask again. What are you doing here, exactly?”“I remember how I do wait for you everyday to return in my sexy lingerie, and you would peal the clothes off me before I could blink..”“... Victoria”“..and the next thing that fills the air is the sou

Third Person's Pov“You sent an irresponsible stranger to go bring my daughter home?” Victoria spat out to a worried Penelope.It's been three hours already and close to dinner time, but Daniella and Natalia hadn't returned yet. Penelope had tried reaching out to Daniella, but her phone has been unreachable getting her so worried.“Will you just stop it right now, Victoria,” Penelope said, eyeing Victoria angrily. “This isn't the first time Daniella has gone to pick Natalia from school, and she isn't irresponsible unlike someone I know.”“Penelope!” Victoria half yelled when she understood the meaning of her last statement.“And for the record. Daniella isn't a stranger. She's Javier's legally wedded wife, and Natalia’s mother so she wouldn't do anything that would put her in danger.” Penelope said, enjoying the anger written all over Victoria's face.“Put who in danger?” came Javier's voice, startling both Penelope and Victoria.They were so lost in their argument that they didn't no

Javier's Pov I woke up to a reeling sensation in my head, It felt like I'd been asleep for a really long time. Opening my eyes properly, I could see that I'm in my bedroom.I was trying to sit up when I saw Penelope sitting in the arm chair close to my bed, her head tilted to the side as she's fast asleep. Why is she here like this? I glanced around, there doesn't seem to be any sign of Daniella around.How could she let Penelope sleep like this? It could give her a neck pain by morning. Why is she even here?I gently rubbed at her knee in an attempt to wake her up, and it worked. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned. She paused for a moment when her eyes met mine. It's like she hasn't slept in days.“Oh, Javier.” She uttered, her eyes filled with relief as she stood up and hugged me.“Come on Lopé, why are you being so dramatic now?” I said over the hug.“You're right.” She said and then pulled out of the hug. She slapped me really hard across the face, giving me a shock.“What

Daniella’s Pov We’ve been locked up in this dimly lit room for days now, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know how many have passed but it seems like forever already. We don't starve because they do bring us food, but sometimes I lose my appetite to eat.I wonder why Javier hasn't found us yet. Isn't he planning on resucing us or is the location of this place so hard to find?Sigh. I can't wait for him to save us. Sometimes I feel like crying because I miss home, because I miss him. Natalia would cry most of the time and I end up consoling her and reassuring her that her father will come resuce us soon.“Mommy?” Natalia’s voice broke my thoughts. “Yes baby?” I answered, looking down at her curled up in my arms. She has always been in my arms like this because the floor is really cold.“I miss daddy and I miss nanny Lopé.” She said, sadly.“I miss them too. But don't worry, very soon we’ll be with them. Okay?” I said, giving her my best smiles.I got startled by the sound of the door lo

Victoria’s PovI walked into my room after checking if someone was following me from behind. I locked the door and walked some distance towards the window before I put a call through to Carlos. That bastard had to go against me and start taking actions without my orders. Now he’s gone as far as putting my daughter's life in danger too. How dare him?!I overheard Javier and Juan's conversations in the attic – Javier had yelled while I was heading to my room, and Juan came running towards the direction of his voice“Hello?” He answered after four rings.“What do you think you are doing, Carlos?” I asked, furious.“I don't understand, what am I doing?” He asked like he doesn't know what I'm talking about, angering me all the more.“Don't you dare play dumb with me, Carlos..”“..then try to be clear with your words, Victoria.” he retorted.“How dare you take actions without my orders and what's this about putting my daughter's life in harm's way?” I said in anger.“Carlos take orders fro

Javier's Pov There were loud sounds I could hear in my subconsciousness, in the distance, like that of a blaring horn of a train.Wait, train? Daniella! Natalia! I forced my eyelids open and soon pains shot from my back head which I think should be because of whatever they had hit me with.“Wakey, wakey.” I looked up to see Carlos, grinning down at me. I made to throw my fist at his face and wipe that silly grin off, but I couldn't. I looked down to see my entire body restricted, tied to the chair I am in. Not surprised.“You know, sincerely speaking, I had hoped you wouldn't fall for my little tricks. But seeing the turn out of events, one would think that you aren't quite as smart as you let off.” He said, getting me more angry as I struggled to free myself from these ropes.Juan was right, this was a trap! Why didn't I stop to reason with him? How foolish of me.“So you thought I'll let you rescue them just like that? Oh no amigo, your precious family were just bait to get you i
A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 33
Javier's Pov I couldn't help but steal glances at her from the corner of my eye throughout the ride back home. She was quiet, avoiding any eye contact with me and she seemed uncomfortable. What should I make of this? Does my presence affect her just like hers affects me? Does her heart race like hell like mine races for her right now? After my realization that I've fallen in love with her, I can't help but stare at her every now and then I can't stop thinking about her no matter what I do. She’s always in my head and I want to do nothing but confess the way I feel to her and give her a passionate kiss. But I worry if this feeling is one sided. Soon we arrived home, Juan opened the door for her. It feels so good to be home. We both made our way inside, but came to a halt when we saw everyone standing few feet away from the door, as if waiting for us the whole time – the housekeepers, nanny Penelope, Natalia. And Juan who joined them immediately. “Papa! Mama!” Natalia said, r
