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

Javier's Pov “After the prince saved both of his princesses, the other princess, princess Ella discovered how much she loved the prince and wished to express it. But, she was afraid to do so. One day she was walking down the hallway and she saw the prince, she greeted him and was about to walk away when the prince caught her and drew her closer to him. Their closeness was so intense that she thought he was going to kiss her.” Daniella narrated to Natalia.I’ve been watching them from the slightly open door of Natalia’s room. I wanted to come over to wish her a goodnight rest before I saw Daniella in there telling a bedtime story to Natalia who seemed so engrossed in her story telling.“Did the prince kiss her?” Natalia asked, I could sense the curiosity in her voice.“No, but, princess Ella thought he really would and felt disappointed so she mistakenly voiced out her thoughts. She felt embarrassed about it and ran away from the prince’s presence.” Daniella said.For some weird reaso

Javier's Pov I watched as her eyes widened as they strolled down to my bare chest, her face turning red as a tomato. I held myself from chuckling at her facial expression right now.“Oh my goodness!” She blurted out before jumping out of my arms, I couldn't help but chuckle inside at her awkwardness.“Sorry.” She mumbled, fumbling with her fingers and not wanting to make eye contact with me.Now, isn't that just cute?“I ask you again, what is it?” I said, putting on a shirt so she'd feel less embrassed.“I… I just saw a mouse.” She said, I frowned.“A mouse?” I asked to be sure of what I heard her say.“No, it's a giant barn rat… I think.” She said, looking here and there in the ground. “Let me see.” I said. I searched the corners of the room, but there was no sign of any rat or mouse. She didn't just lie about it so to jump into my arms, did she? “I guess I must've imagined it. I… I'll go grab a bottle of water from the kitchen.” She said and left the room rather hurriedly, not w

Daniella's Pov “Thank you baby.” I said, giving a light pinch on her nose.“Don't thank me, thank papa. He came up with all the ideas.” Natalia said, making me spare a glance at him.Javier really did all these for me?That's so sweet of him..“Thank you.” I said, not wanting to meet his gaze while my heart raced like hell.“Now why don't we go get you ready so all the celebration will begin!” Helena said as she dragged me along with her towards the stairs, I couldn't help but glance back at Javier who was already looking at me.My heart raced even more, he was looking at me!“Wait, how do you know the way to my room?” I couldn't help but ask Helena when she successfully found my room without asking me for directions whatsoever.“When I arrived, Natalia gave me a tour around the house and your room was the first place she showed me.” She said.“I see.” I said as I walked into my room fully. I paused when I saw a big box with ribbons all over it on my bed.“Wow, a gift box?!” Helena s

Javier's Pov As Daniella's back touched my body slightly, I sensed her tension and smiled inwardly. Her awkward reactions to our proximity amused me, mirroring my own feelings. When she descended downstairs in her gown earlier, her beauty left me breathless."Let me help," I whispered, carefully unzipping her dress. My fingers brushed against the smooth bronze expanse of her back, sparking unexpected desire. Daniella's shoulders tensed, but she didn't turn. The soft lamp glow cast an intimate light, illuminating the uncharted territory of her bare skin.My gaze lingered, and my mind raced with the novelty of this moment. Daniella's silence was palpable, her tension alive between us as she waited for me to release the zipper. I cleared my throat, shaking off awkwardness, but hesitated to release my touch."I'm done," I said, controlling myself. "Oh." She murmured, turning slowly, avoiding eye contact. "Thank you."I smiled, leaving, but she stopped me with a grip on my shirt. "I...I

Daniella's PovI couldn't contain my excitement as I rushed to Helena's place, eager to share the incredible news. Two nights ago, Javier took me on a romantic getaway, and it was truly unforgettable. I felt like I was walking on air."Are you serious about this, or are you just pulling my leg so I won't bother you about exposing your feelings to Javier again?" Helena asked, narrowing her eyes at me. I had told her what happened between Javier and I.I understood how she was feeling because I felt that same way all morning.I chuckled. "I couldn't possibly joke about something like this, can I?" That unbelievable night was the best night in my entire life.Helena's face lit up with a smile. "Oh my goodness! He confessed his love to you, and then...a mind-blowing love-making session afterwards?" I nodded, blushing. "He didn't exactly confess his love with words. He showed me through his actions, taking me to a beautiful place."Helena sighed wistfully. "Awwww...how romantic. I wish I

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

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

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

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
