Billionaire's Captive Chapter 23
Shit. I cussed under my breath. Since when did Hardy open the door and how long has he been standing there? Did he actually see how Theodore and I kissed without actually saying anything? But the most eerie question I would like to keep asking is, how the hell did Theodore open the fuckin door without me or Theodore knowing. Hardy just kept getting creepier. I turned to Theodore to see if he had the same freaked out look as me, but was surprised to see him throwing Hardy a questionable look. His brows arched like, what-do-you-want? "I need to speak with Joanne, personally and privately," Hardy stepped inside the room. Theodore looked a bit mad, but didn't try to show so much. "Sure" He sighed, getting on his feet. Throwing me a small smile, Theodore exited the room, closing the door, leaving me with his not looking happy boss. I swallowed. I don't know what I looked like, but I was sure my face was as red as ever, because I had been heating up on the inside since the ki

Rich people love gatherings so much and now I understand it’s just their way of showing off. Because this was seriously for some kind of statue that was built at the center of some town and this gathering was to raise a toast over it and the people that contributed to it.You have got to be kidding me. I leaned in closer to Hardy as we walked further into the room, getting stares from a lot of other couples. I mean the key is to act like we’re in love.We were immediately approached by two butlers who offered us tiny shots, but Hardy and I declined.I can’t take alcohol with the baby in me and Hardy for some reason doesn’t want to drink. “Oh my gosh… you made it” I heard a familiar voice behind us and just as I was about to turn around to see who it was. Aneesa hugged me. A tight one that caused me to let go of Hardy. Great.“Hi Aneesa” I called gently, patting her back.“I had no idea you’d be here too,” I added. Acting like we’re friends.I mean, she started it.The best

Hardy’s Pov-I was standing by my wine cellar staring out the Window from my room. Trying to keep my head together after Joanne’s outbursts minutes earlier when Theo walked in.“Got the car where you want it” He said. I nodded.“Okay.. I’ll be out in th-“Are you mad?” I interrupted him.“What?” Theo sounded confused.I took a sip from the glass of wine in my hand and breathed out a sigh.“Mad about what?” He added. I scoffed. “Don’t play clueless Theo . I know you’re mad about earlier and how I want you to stay away from Joanne” “If that’s what you want me to do then it’s something I should do and nothing to be mad about” I couldn’t see him but I could tell he had pulled his annoying calm shrug.“Okay drop the bullshit” I turned to him.“Do you actually like her do you really want her?” Theo raked his hand through his hair and looked away.“I don’t know…” He sighed.I nodded“That pretty much answered my question”He clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing with her.“Well you can l

Joanne*“Let’s see then. If I would really shudder in my pants If you strip naked in front of me… right here right now… let’s see who the real garbage is” The moment hardy breathed those words, my mind moved into a tilt. He does not mean that.He low-key just ignored every rant and chose to bring those words out of all I had just said?He keeps giving more reasons to hate more than his guts.Can’t believe I was actually worried about what I said earlier might have hurt him.How Pathetic.“You’re unbelievable” I got on my feet.Looking at Hardy you could see how unalive his eyes looked. Clearly I could already tell no woman would be able to make him shudder in his pants like I have said earlier. It’s looked like it’s been ages since he got excited about anything.Ugh why did I even rant so much.“Fine” I didn’t know where it came from but I agreed.I mean… I’ve got nothing to lose, and not to blame it on my pregnancy hormones. Maybe because I wanted to, and looking back on Trinity’s

Joanne…*It was a Thursday morning. And one of the most chaotic mornings I would ever come across since our stay here. My body throbbing from a different angle.Well it was Thursday. Whatever did I expect? I’ll be visiting the White Ale-o house two hours from now for the first time. Getting dolled up by these maids is probably one of the hardest thing I’d also ever encounter.With the hard pulls on my hair, almost getting mascara in my eyes and tweezers almost stabbed in my orbs. The clip earrings that almost bit my ear off, the uncomfortable false fingernails. I almost screamed.I am a pregnant lady, I know I don’t look pregnant… yet, but do I really have to go feeling uncomfortable.After two solid hours of primping me up, I finally got ready. I got on my feet and gave myself when a good stare when all the maids left, leaving just me and trinity in the room.“My goodness you look amazing” Trinity gasped.Exactly the way I expected her to react, she’s such a sweet mouth.“Th

Joanne-‘If you’re nervous just imagine everybody naked’ I almost snorted out a weird laugh when Tina and I got inside the gazebo and then to a huge door that had a plate at the door that wrote ‘private area’.The fact that Trinity’s words had to strike me at that moment.Was I nervous? hell yeah I was… but thinking about Trinity now is patching up my nervousness a bit.Tina placed a light knock on the door and breathed out a sigh of patience.“And we wait” She flashed a smile at me.I looked around the gazebo one more time and the amount of greens from the plants and the warmth of the place, made me smile, and somehow it eased up half of my nervousness. You could see the quiet garden outside through the roof to floor windows, and the ray of sunshine hitting the window glasses and then the plants makes you just want to stare at the scene until dusk and then have a nap in here.Speaking of naps, I really need one.The door opened about ten seconds later and Aneesa popped up with her b

Joanne* The women of the white Ale-o house are nothing special, if there is one thing I've learnt today. They were impolite, though they tried to make an effort to use their words carefully, but in the end they just said whatever they felt like. Whoever it harmed was irrelevant to them. Basically, the club was created after Anna’s fiancé, Asher, gifted her the beautiful Gazebo for her birthday, and wanting to be a show off about it. Anna decided on a women's club where they can help each other out with any difficulties another woman’s facing. And at the end of the year they donate a hefty amount of money for nearby orphanages.Because of the “good” they do and how fancy they dress and are, many people look up to and respect the women of the white Ale-o house.If people walked on sand, these ladies walked on golden eggs. And today I became one of these women. And I really felt sorry for the people who looked up to these ladies thinking they spend their time cracking their wallet

*Joanne contd.“Oh my Gosh, oh my fuckin gosh… Jo, That guy is literally staring at your butt” Bailey giggled tapping my shoulder in excitement.“I know you’re just making that up” I shook my head.“I am not… Okay take a look then , see for yourself, he is still staring at your butt, oh my gosh do you think he wants to get down with you tonight?” Bailey gasped.“Okay don’t be gross” I warned Bailey.“Okay but seriously, just check him out, he’s kinda cute” she urged with pleading eyes.I breathed out a defeated sigh and turned to look at the so-called guy she was talking about.I turned to the guy and his face was coming out a bit blurry. All of a sudden he started coming towards Bailey and I, and when he got close, Bailey pushed me towards me and he immediately covered my head with a black sack bag.I started to scream Bailey’s name and calling for help. But all I could hear was the sound of her happy scream and giggles over the club’s music. Suddenly it went quiet and the sack ba

—JOANNE- I looked at Hardy and the expression he had on his face, was so overwhelming, I had to ask“what’s wrong?I knew he wouldn’t tell me because he practically never tells me anything, but he has been really nice to me dad, I had this feeling that he was going to tell me.“nothing we should go home”Right. Had my hopes up for nothing.

—HARDY CONTD. The detective stepped out of the interrogation room and asked if we grabbed anything.Joanne had to explain her first to her last meeting with this Ophelia girl which caused everyone to be in total dismay.“Wait a second, so she warned you about the ladies when she was the mastermind behind all these?” Detective Alex asked.“Yeah” Joanne nodded, looking frightened.“But she works for Anne—“Anne shaw? Age 26. Married to Asher Black?” Alex interrupted.“Yeah” Joanne nodded.“Well she and the other ladies are asleep now, they drank so much they all passed out. But don’t worry, the moment they’re awake they’ll be interrogated.” Alex said to be assuring but Joanne didn’t bulge.So he continued to put her mind at ease.“Ophelia is being tracked.

We’ll understand who she works for”Joanne nodded and turned to me.Her gaze were soft but yet I didn’t know what it was demanding.“What’s wrong, I aske

—JOANNE~I opened my eyes to meet nothing but complete darkness. But my body was moving. I tried to breathe out a yielding sigh only to realize my mouth has been shut with a rough cloth.I let out a muffle scream and tried to seat up.My hands were tied in front of me but thankfully my legs were free.I scuttled before sitting up and realizing I was in a black van.I let out muffled screams that didn’t even stretch at any distant The driver driving the van slightly turned to me and nodded.“You’re awake.“Who the fuck are you” my scream came out muffled but he understood me well and replied me quietly.“Go back to sleep.” I kicked his chair and he scoffed.“A fierce one aren’t we?” I wanted to scream but I couldn’t, instead I started to cry.My eyes started to blink rapidly when I saw the thick ropes sitting beside me.No!History was indeed repeating itself.“Where are you taking me!” My scream loosened the cloth around my mouth a bit and the man driving sighed.“Just shut the fuc

-JOANNE—I was gasping for breath as Anne’s grip tightened around my neck, suffocating me. She was a tornado, twisting me around and smashing me into the table like a ragdoll. Adrenaline kicked in, and I fought back with everything I had. My fingers clawed at her hair and pushed against her slim frame, trying to gain any kind of advantage. But her strength was superhuman, and her nails dug into my neck like talons.I had to think fast.Desperation set in. I lunged at her shirt, gripping it tightly as if my life depended on it—and it did. I pulled hard, forcing her slender form to stumble forward. It was a desperate gamble, a Hail Mary pass to even the odds. I might’ve been down, but I wasn’t out. Not yet. My heart was racing, my muscles screaming, but I wasn’t about to let Anne win. I wasn’t about to let her take everything from me.I finally got the upper hand at things, and as I tried to hit her, Ruby came in full charge at me, pushing me to hit my head on the brick wall and causi

-JOANNE— Two days before my celebratory party. Theodore and I are seated with Hardy in one of the mansion’s empty rooms, talking about the twentieth.For some reasons. I felt enlightenment.Because Hardy was always fond of disdaining me whenever it came to sharing his plans. He would only let Theodore in on it, but tonight he was making me part of it.And it made sense because I was aware of it all.We were trying to fix the crazy puzzle together and rearrange ours. Trinity had walked in and out of the room every now and then, getting us water and all sorts of food.We’ve spent a good six hours in the room trying to come up with different alternatives and routes to take if plans A or B don’t align and manage to collide.We’ve managed to come to the conclusion that Lisa’s killer could be anyone. But the source we needed to pick from was from the White Ale-o house. Hardy looked unfazed, mentioning Lisa’s name a few times, and I tried to fight the urge to scream the truth out lou

-JOANNE -The present > As the revelations from Trinity poured forth, I found my jaw plummeting in stunned disbelief. My mind, once nimble and quick, now labored to organize this flood of disorienting information. Trinity's words had transformed what I thought I knew about Lisa and Hardy into a harrowing tale of deceit, confusion, and unrequited love, leaving my comprehension reeling.I was trying so hard to stay composed.It wasn’t just the fact that Trinity and Lisa had something going on. Well it was part of it. But it was mainly the fact that the woman Hardy was pulling all lengths for, pulling down seas and mountains for. Restraining every one that breathed out her name, the same woman that he had clearly offered his entire life to never loved him.It was shocking.Deeply.She only married Hardy to live a stable life?The fact that Hardy was clueless was alarming. Trinity let out a tired smile.“I’m sorry for boring your day out with this”I shook my head.“No. It’s good you sh
