A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 72
"What do you mean by that?" Adrian asked, his hands reached out instinctively to the doctor's shoulders, his fingers digging deep into the fabric of the doctor's coat.The doctor's eyes had already had a deep sadness in them; now they clouded, and his voice shook as he replied, "She is no more, Adrian." The words just hung there, stark, brutal, suffocating Adrian.His eyes, searching for a glimmer of hope, a hint that this was all some terrible mistake, locked onto the doctor's. But his expression did not yield; his eyes were filled with deep sorrow, which seemed to echo Adrian's."No!" Adrian shouted, loud and clear in the hospital corridors, in some animal scream of denial and despair. Without having heard everything, he was pushed forward, urged by a desperate need to see Jenny-to hold her-to beg her to come back.He sprinted toward the surgery room, feet pounding on the floor, heart racing from fear and hope.As he reached the door, he didn't even bother knocking, his leg crashin

THE NEXT MORNING*****The jarring of his alarm was what woke Adrian up. In no time, he leaped out of bed, took a refreshing bath, and put on his regular business attire.Morning sun cast a golden glow on the city as he drove to the company.As Adrian reached the entrance of his office, his phone buzzed an incoming text message."I will be coming to the company today."The message sent Adrian's heart racing. Who could this be? The content of the message sent a cold thrill down his spine.He tried putting the feeling off and focusing on the tasks at hand for the day. However, the message would not leave his head and would not be denied attention.As he walked into his office, his staff smiled and greeted "Good morning, sir."Adrian merely nodded, curtly eyeing the room as if searching for signs of who could have sent such a cryptic message via text.The sun had barely risen, but something in his gut was telling him that this would be a day full of surprises.The message was from Mr. Sh

THE NEXT DAYLying in bed, face up, beaming with pleasure, thoughts of his wife's deteriorating health began to improve, and the contract that he had finally gained after so much effort of years that were passing tirelessly. A sense of relief and accomplishment washed over him, and he couldn't help but think that today was the perfect day to take his wife, Jenny, home from the hospital."I think I have to discharge Jenny today," he whispered to himself, and smiling all over his face, he slung the quilts and got out of bed.Stretching his body, feeling muscles relax from tenseness, he walked up to the bathroom. He started off by picking his toothbrush along with the toothpaste and brushed teeth and the tongue round and softly.His mouth was filled with the minty taste of the toothpaste as he refreshed himself with water in his mouth. Thereafter, he walked to the bathtub, which he had already filled with liquid soap. The sweet fragrance of the soap filled the atmosphere and Adrian felt

As Adrian was done with his meal, he extended his hand, his fingers reaching out to the keys lying on the table.Utensils clinking against the plate resounded as Madam Helen, the housekeeper, began clearing the table. Her hands moved in quiet efficiency, gathering up the plates and glasses with practiced ease."How is Madam Jenny?" she asked, her tone warm and soft, as she began cleaning up the remains of Adrian's meal.Adrian's face broke into a wide smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he replied,"She's fine." The smile was contagious, and Helen could not help but smile back at him, the face creasing with warmth."Yes, sir," she said softly and deferentially, collecting the last of the dishes to turn toward the kitchen to wash up.As Madam Helen disappeared into the kitchen, Adrian felt a wave of contentment wash over him. He leaned back in his chair, scraping the legs on the floor, and rose to his feet, slow and languid."I am happy," he whispered, still in a quieted tone,

Then Adrian cut through the tension like a hot knife, each word heavy with venom and contempt; his tone reverberating around the room."Speak up, Dr. Frederick!" he shouted, his voice still echoing off the walls.Dr. Frederick's eyes grew wide in terror as he stuttered out an apology."I'm sorry, Adrian," he said, his voice trembling with fear.Adrian's face contorted with anger at the implication, his eyes burning with fire."Dr. Frederick, how I wish I had relied on your observation," he spat, his words dripping with sarcasm."My wife would have been a dead person by now," he went on, as in a crescendo of voice."And you are called a doctor? You purchased that certificate to become a doctor?" It was an open dagger: Adrien's words tore into the flesh of Doctor Frederic's soul and took away his breath.His ashen face jerked wildly round the room as if in search of every avenue of escape open to him in front of Adrian. Really, he was afraid enough to wish that the earth could open and

Lying in bed, I looked around at the sterile hospital walls and turned my eyes to see who was at the doorway; my heart was racing in anticipation. Then, I saw him. In the doorway stood my husband Adrian, a smile spreading warmly in his face. I was too happy-my heart swelling with delight-and I just couldn't help but return him a smile."Hello, baby," I said, my voice barely audible, as I stared back at Adrian's smiling face. He looked so handsome, so radiant that my heart just skipped a beat."Good morning, my love," he said in a low, husky voice, heading toward me. He was still smiling, his eyes crinkling up toward the edges, and my heart melted at the mere vision of him.As he reached the bed I was sitting upon, he leaned forward and kissed my forehead. His kiss sent a run of shivers down my back, a wave of warmth that filled my body, making me happier, more alive. I closed my eyes, basking in the moment-the feel of his lips against my skin, the love radiating from him in waves, lik

As I looked into his eyes, my chest warmed up. "That's so nice of you, my love," I whispered, my voice barely audible as I looked up at him. He grinned at me with a radiant smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and offered me his hand to take. "Let's go, please," he said in this low, husky voice that sent my spine tingling on end.We walked towards the room, he put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. His hand rested at the curve of my hip, his fingers touching my skin as he stroked a flutter in my chest. "Baby," he whispered softly against my ear. His breath traveled the length of my neck, raising tingles across the surface. His heart skipped as he spoke a little louder to continue in this low, sultry tone: "I feel horny." Those words made some electricity pass right through my body.I knew right away in my chest was racing, a pulse of anticipation. Something pressed strong and insisting into my back, and my trouble was basically sealed. There was a complete riot i

Adrian's gaze, while he stood there in the bathroom, seemed to hold me hostage, his eyes ablaze with a longing that made my skin crawl. I tried to tear my eyes away from his naked body, but they were drawn back, as if by some perverse fascination, like a moth to a flame."Adrian, please," I whispered, my voice barely audible, trying to push him away, my hands shaking with fear and desire. "You're distracting me from the party upstairs. The party is coming soon."I wriggled myself out of the bathroom, wrapping the towel as tightly as possible around my body as I went into the bedroom. I felt Adrian staring at me, really looking at me, as I walked away from him. I shrugged off the weird sensation of his scrutiny and proceeded to get ready for the party.We were already late, and I knew everybody was waiting for us to arrive. I quickly dried myself, my towel swishing across my skin, cleaning off the drops of water clinging to me like small diamonds.Standing before the closet, scanning t

The message on the phone caused Adrian to stare in horror with bulging eyes. The pang of hurt and disappointment had begun as the mind raced with questions. He answered immediately, smashing his fingers on the keyboard. "Zan, why?? What's this for?" was his message, his eyes glued to the phone, waiting.But there was none from Zan. The silence felt heavy, and the seconds ticked like hours. With his anxiety building, Adrian's mind wandered all over the place. There was a feeling of dread; his insides were churning.Just as he was about to lose all hope, the message popped. "We are going back to already, sir," was an obscure, foreboding message from Zan. Adrian's eyes sharpened, and his mind was racing with questions. "Why?" was again written furiously, with trembling fingers, full of anticipation.The words of Zan were so incisive and quick, like a punch to the gut. "Did you violate any rules?" asked Adrian, but though he had surprised questions, he was mostly involved in important mat

Nested deep in the shrubbery of the guagua bushes along the winding road, shadows loomed long and dark upon the earth as Adrian continued driving. Putting the car to a halt with the engine sputtering to a stop, Adrian sat in silence, staring at the telephone tracker. Somewhere out there, according to the stats by the GPS, Jenny was to be found, yet her exact whereabouts remained clouded in uncertainty. His frustration red-hot beneath the surface, Adrian felt he might explode with anger at any moment. He ripped off his shirt, the fabric tearing against his back, a white singlet visible underneath. He kicked off his shoes, bare feet trembling with rage and ready for the kill. He was a man on a mission, backed by an awesome determination to get Jenny and save her.Adrian sat there, chest heaving, and gathered every ounce of courage for the battle ahead. The path ahead was fraught with dangers: conditions under the guagua bushes kept many secrets and few ever braved them. Yet he was read

Samuel looked at Julian with a mix of concern and confusion as he observed Fidelia's odd behavior. "Maybe she has taken some hard drugs; that's why she's behaving like that," he said in a low, thoughtful voice. Julian narrowed his eyes somewhat, his expression skeptical but then nodded in agreement.Her eyes glowed and her face twisted with a new terror. "Yes, I am mad," she said rather bitterly. Her voice dripped with sarcasm. "Due to the agony my mother went through. I shouted because she was in a state." Her words were poured forth in a flood, raw and unrefined. "No one was able to comprehend, not knowing her monster husband did it all, just so he could extort money.For a moment, Fidelia's eyes were fixed on Julian, boring into him with fierce intensity. "And you, Julian," she shouted at the top of her voice reverberating through the entire room. "You wanted me to have sex with you, right?" Her words hung in challenge and accusation in the air. In that instant, a longer ripple of

Standing there, dumbfounded, my eyes flew back and forth between those two people before me. What are you doing here, Dad?" I softly asked Samuel, turning my head towards him. Then to the other figure, a man whom I never have seen before, yet for all intensive purposes, he seemed familiar. "And you too, what are you doing here?" I added, narrowing my eyes while trying to place him.And then, like someone thrusting a sudden sunbeam into a cloudy day, it came to me and I recognized him, Julian. The name whispered through my mind, and I shivered. The pair exchanged a glance, Samuel and Julian, then both burst into laughter. A cold wind seemed to sweep the room.They laughed heartily and then, with a peal of laughter, fell silent, looking at each other with watery eyes. They turned towards me, then laughed again as they dug their faces in. That sound pierced through the fog of my confusion and terror and left me feeling naked and vulnerable.My throat mounted a steeplechase over my heart-

The darkness weighed on Adrian. Alone, he stared at the smartphone screen, and slowly the worries came and began overshadowing him. He tried calling Jenny for the final time. But this time it was even worse. "BEEP" the dial tone resonated inside his mind as a sad song, tying a heavy string to the future of uncertainty residing in front of him.He was losing within that desperation clutching his heart. His once sharp and focused mind began to wander off aimlessly and could not concentrate on anything apart from those haunting images of Jenny.The incessant maelstrom of questions swirling in his head formed different shapes, and all were more tortuous than the first. "Man, how am I getting through with this thing right now?" He held the phone in a grip that suggested it was the only rope that could hold him alive.His fingers raced across the screen with both urgency and desperation, and though the seconds trickled by in almost a freeze, every second seemed like an eternity as he stared

Minutes turned into hours as Mr. Zan stood by, waiting for Jenny to walk out of the ladies' room. His air conditioning motor started vibrating and soon it was beyond the threshold of audible perception but damps in harmony with the slow rhythm of his heart. For the hundredth time, he looked at the dial as the hands of time crawled across its face. It had been thirty minutes since he had been told to wait, but Jenny was still conspicuously missing.His gaze moved toward the security men, somewhat narrowed, as he put the question out to them- "Are you sure she's in there?" Confident nods came his way. "Yeah, look, she's coming," said one of them, somewhat softly, in a soothing tone. Mr. Zan immediately snapped his eyes toward the door of the ladies' room, with his heart now galloping in its euphoria. A woman walked out looking exactly like Jenny.Their gazes locked; he smiled warmly. "Mrs. Jenny!" he exclaimed, feeling relief. "We've been waiting for you for ages. Our company is next,"

Disgustedly, Adrian sighed; responsibilities lay heavy upon him as if to suffocate. His eyes moved through the room, over the sea of expectation on the faces, fluttering hands, whispering murmurs, crowding the air with tension thick with perfume, cologne, and the smell of freshly printed papers. "It's getting harder," he said softly enough that only he could hear it.With that, the next company was introduced- it sounded as if they were being announced in some long-forgotten imperial court: "A&Z Company Limited!" thundered the speaker from the microphone into the welcoming room. Clapping hands and cheering greeted the representatives of A&Z Company as they strode toward the stage. The applause sounded like relentless waves crashing against the shore, full of zeal.Adrian squinted as he calculated all his strategies and machinations while the watcher observed the present scene. The adrenaline in his system was pounding in his heart like an embargo drum. "Chevron Company, should get rea

The Dubai meeting was in full swing, and the atmosphere was charged. A male and female pair had organized the event and came on stage clad in bright red. The color itself appeared to embrace life with energy, beckoning to the audience. But Adrian's gaze was not on the speakers. He was staring at the door, almost through the gate, willing Jenny to return.Where had she gone? Adrian's mind was a storm of questions. Had she gone for air? Or was it to powder her nose? In Adrian's thoughts, of course, it crossed that she might have gone to relieve herself; however, with time slipping away and still no sign of her appearing, his worries began to build with concern over where she was.He continued watching the stage when the speakers announced the next one in line, and the words 'Diamond Company Limited" reached his ears. The Diamond Company Limited representative went to the podium, adjusting the microphone, commencing his speech. There were murmurs across the crowd, and all of a sudden, Ad

Frantically looking for the woman who just called me, I sat in the vehicle allowing my eyes to scour the space. Instead, however, I was surrounded by ominously faced men; their expressions were dark and foreboding. An unease overtook me, and I could feel an influx of adrenaline passing through my bloodstream."Where am I going?" I asked them, forcing my voice to stay even as terror began to rise inside me. The men did not seem to notice, though, lest be moved by such strident yelling and asking."Somebody talk to me!" I shouted, but before any reply could come, the whine of the engine roared into life, and the vehicle started to move, sending a jolt of panic through me that I was about to be taken somewhere against my will.The men were too strong for me again when I would have tried to open the door to escape. They kept me successfully on the ground, where one tied a black cloth around my mouth and rendered any outcry completely useless. Kicking and struggling did not help, for I had
