A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 31
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

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

Daniella's PovThe hot sun seems to be piercing into my skin like needles, it could have been doing the same to my head and face if I hadn't cover it with my sun hat. I've been in the plantation since morning, seeding for the season that seems to be fast approaching because of the harsh sun."Jeez! This summer season is a hot one, I wonder when we'd enter winter…my skin can't bear the harshness of this summer any longer." Helena said with a pout which made me chuckle on her cuteness.Helena Soler is my childhood best friend, we do a lot of things together mostly sharing our happy and sad lives together. Just like me, she's from a pauper family. We work for people's planation in exchange for money, that's how we do to earn a living in this simple lives of ours."C'mon princess, it's little already so let's round up quickly so our skin won't get tanned!" I half yelled to her because she's across the fields."You know, I wish a prince charming can come and sweep me off my pauper's life."

Daniella's PovI sat across from him, he had his leg crossed with cigar trapped in his lips and so much smoke seemed to form clouds around him."How much money do you need?" He asked, pulling the cigarette away from his lip without sparing a glance at my direction."Twenty-five thousand euros." I said, nervously. I think that made him pause and turned his head to my direction."Twenty-five thousand…" He responded, as if tasting the words in his mouth. "What do you need twenty-five thousand for?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows at me."To pay a debt my father owes." I said, not wishing to meet his gaze."Let me get this straight…you want to borrow to repay the one you borrowed. Let me guess, your father is a worthless drunk who had to borrow money to support his drunken life. I do get it, but why will he borrow such an amount for some useless reasons when he knows he can't pay back?" He said casually as if telling a story.And he just insulted my father!"Listen sir, you don't know wh

Daniella's Pov"Do you accept this offer?""I rather die alongside my father than sell my body to you!" I spat out in anger.I got up and made my way out of his office, slamming the door shut behind me. He's such a bastard!🔹🔹🔹"Are you sure he really said that?" Helena asked after I had told her what Mr. Ruiz had said."Yes he did.""He didn't seem to be that kind of man according to what I heard." Helena said, lost in thoughts."People of his status appears to be noble men for their reputation sake, but when they are in doors they are wolves." I spat out in pure irritation."What will you do now? How are you going to raise twenty-five thousand in such a short period of time?" Helena asked, concerned.That's where my problem lies, how am I going to raise such a huge amount of money in just one week?! To be honest, Mr. Ruiz was my only hope, now I am lost on what to do now or who to run to now.🔹🔹🔹It's been a week now and no sign of Carlos or his men, maybe they have informatio

Daniella's PovNow I'm standing in front of his study room, the man in black tuxedo as usual gave a light knock on the door before he opened it and motioned for me to go in which I did after giving him a small smile. Unlike my other visits, there is no sign of him here.If he's not here, why was I brought here?The door creaking open got my attention and I turn around to see who it was. it turns out to be him. He paused for a moment when his eyes landed on mine."Good afternoon, sir." I greeted with a small smile.He walked in and closed the door behind him, completely ignoring me. He walked over to his desk and took a seat."What are you doing here?" He asked, opening his laptop and not sparing a glance at my direction."I came here to say thank you for saving me the other day." I said, feeling awakard."Is that all?" He asked like my words didn't mean much to him, his focus still on his laptop.Hearing him say that makes me feel so stupid, I shouldn't have come here!"Yes…I'll be on
A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 5
Javier's PovAfter I kissed Natalia's forehead I turned off her lamplight by her bed and made my way out of her room quietly. I made my way downstairs and towards the wine cellar to grab myself a bottle before heading to bed. To my surprise the kitchen lights were on. Cautiously, I walked further into the kitchen to see nanny Penelope. She was having a glass of water. She seemed surprised to see me as well.Why is she still up till this time?"You are still awake?" She asked."I was about heading to bed, just wanted to grab a bottle of wine to tag along." I said with a shrug."Will you be needing anything else Javier?" She asked."No, thank you." Nanny Penelope had been my nanny since childhood. Even after my parents passed away, she stepped in as a parent figure for me and she had single handedly raised me into the man I am right now. And now she's not just taking care of me but my daughter as well. At times I really don't know how I can appreciate her for her kindness and loyalty.
