Billionaire's Captive Chapter 52
JOANNE-The entire evening, I felt like the brightest star in the sky. Hardy had told me to actually wear my shoulders high, and I had listened to him.It was my first auction, and I actually got what I wanted.I've never had the opportunity to possess what I longed for.Back in the bustling city of Bronx, I worked tirelessly day after day, striving to survive like an animal.I had little opportunity to truly desire things for my own sake. And even though I managed to get them, they were still beyond my financial means.But now here I was, and it wasn't like this life would last forever. But I finally experienced what it's like to acquire what you really desire. And what it felt like to live in luxury.I wouldn't mind ending things right now; I could die peacefully knowing I had lived. A painting with millions, all in my hands.Money felt a bit like magic.I glanced over at Hardy, noticing his uneasiness and how frequently he checked his phone.I decided to seize the moment and ask r

HARDY- I Walked back into the grand ballroom and my eyes desperately started to search for Joanne. The infuriating prick who had immaturely sent out that confidential email had truly managed to irritate me tonight, pushing me to the brink of frustration. Maybe not just a bit. But a whole lot. The realization that the person responsible for Lisa's death was in the same room as Joanne and me left me feeling utterly dismayed. I was consumed with an overwhelming desire to take revenge, to inflict the same pain upon them as they had inflicted upon Lisa.Clearly, the person who sent that email and had Trinity deliver that message on their behalf possesses a level of intelligence far surpassing my own. They must be observing me closely from within the same room, meticulously monitoring my every action and noting how I periodically glance at my phone. It is evident that they have successfully encouraged panic and fury within me, precisely as they wanted.My anger consumed me, drivi

JOANNE-My head was spinning and I was trying to breathe through my nose as my heavy eyes started acting on its own.My legs had become extremely weak. I was sobbing like a child.Few minutes ago I thought I was going to die— get taken away from Hardy, get heavily tortured to death and die, or face something extremely worst.The woman named Leilani turned out to be quite misleading, as she somehow managed to manipulate Hardy's phone call and voice to convince me to leave with her.However, it was at the very moment I began to have faith in my instinct that we decided to venture towards the rear of the castle, rather than the more conventional front entrance, as our car happened to be parked there. I had a feeling that Leilani couldn't be trusted, even with Hardy's approval. Deceptive endorsement.As doubts began to creep into my mind, our journey took an unexpected turn. Her demeanor grew tense, and she swiftly ushered me into a nearby vehicle that was already parked.I decided to

JOANNE- “Gracious goodness!” Trinity’s words, flushed cheeks and heaved breath made me burst out into an hysterical laugh, that didn’t stop even after five minutes. Her heavy gawk on the painting in my room was so funny, it needed a Framed picture.“Wh— how..She couldn’t find her words.I stopped laughing and walked closer to the painting that was now hanging in the wall of my roof.It looked more than perfect now as my own. It had arrived today after getting it two days ago and the drillers who did the job did exactly good and pinned it to the part where I wanted it on my wall.“This is too much,” Trinity cried.I laughed. “It’s perfect,”“No… trust me it’s way too…She shook her head.“Tempting?” I bumped my shoulder into hers.“Gosh,” she glared at me. “I was going to say sensual.”“It’s sensual, yes. And tempting, doesn’t it makes you feel like you want two masculine strong arms weighing you down and pinning you to a b—“Joanne please.” Trinity interrupted, a mixture of frig

-JOANNE contd.“What the fuck are you on about?” My voice wasn’t loud, but it was stern enough to prove that I was mad.What the hell did she mean? ‘What else do I want from her?“I mean, yeah, I deceived you; I fabricated your name in my contract, the signatures, and everything. But look at you; you look better than me. You look like you’re actually enjoying your life here.” She proceeded to end her words with another eye roll.“Are you serious right now?” I scoffed.“You know me better than anyone, so yeah, you should know when I’m serious.”I shook my head. “No, Bailey. I thought I knew you, but it turns out that I don’t, not one bit. I lived with a snake, and I didn’t even know about that.”“A snake!” she laughed, her bright red lipstick menacingly matching her red leather skirt. “Thanks to this snake, you’re living a fancy life and out of our crappy old life at Bronx.”“Where the hell are you getting at?” I squinted.What the fuck was she trying to say?“I’m not trying to get any

JOANNE—I was crying furiously in my room, my chest heaving up and down as I tried to conceal the tears.Bailey had made no attempt to feel sorry for me. The door was pushed open, and Theo walked inside. "What did she say to you?" He entreated. I shook my head.“I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have let you meet them,” Theo said ruefully.“It’s okay,” I added. “It’s not your fault. Thank you for letting me meet her.” I wiped my tears.It instantly gave me more room to never stop feeling sorry for her.She has hated me for years.And I’ve been here all along, thinking she didn’t deserve any of these.When all she was scared about was snatching a life she thought I was enjoying,.“I’m sorry, they’ve been sent back,” Theo added.I wiped my tears and took a deep breath.Theo and I remained quiet and just let our thoughts settle in with the silence. Maybe me, because I couldn’t tell what he was thinking as he glanced at me once or twice.“It’s all going to be okay,” he sighed."Hopefully,” I mumbl

JOANNE-The day was getting darker; rain clouds had seeped into the evening sky and immediately transformed every bright-looking cloud into a figure of gloom.The air had gone cold, and I found arms constantly getting wrapped in front of me.Hardy had left the hotel room, telling me to stay intact and not to go out because he would be back.I listened because I never wanted what happened last time to happen again.I started to move around the room again. It was a one-bedroom hotel room with a queen-sized bed at the centre, a small water dispenser at one end, and a cute drawer sitting on the bed.The room was quite small but looked cosy and fancy; it had high walls with an eccentric light blue paint on its walls. A warm chandelier light hangs directly above the bed, and some nightlights surround the corners. Just four feet away from the bed, there was a glass door that held a three-person balcony behind it. Opposite the balcony was a walk-in closet, and at the centre and other ends of

-HARDY-I walked out of the closet, fully clothed, to receive a text from Theodore.I immediately called.“How is it?” I asked.“She’s not revealing who sent her,” Theo continued.This Leilani bitch.I sighed.“Of course she won’t. We’ll let her go, but we’ll keep her on track. She’ll go to whoever sent her.” The only reason I’m here all of a sudden is to make the Dickhead culprit tail me.I brought Joanne here with me, unguarded and careless.Whoever it is, I knew they must have seen me leaving the mansion with no guard, no Theo, and just me and Joanne.I just have to make them believe I came here for a stupid vacation and not read my line about making Joanne bait.But I know I will take a vacation when I make one. It wouldn’t be in this crappy one-bed room with a woman I never want to spend time with.“Of course, I’ll make sure we don’t fail this time,” Theo’s voice says on the line, assuring.“Yeah—I paused when I noticed Joanne’s head poking out of the bathroom's parted door and

—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. But the way He said home drew this sense of security that embraced my spirit.I knew he wouldn’t wouldn’t tell me no matter how much I persists, so I just let the matter immediately.Even though I had seen his phone screen and saw that Theo was the one who called I knew something was up, but I only hope to have something good. I was exhausted beyond exhausted to be specific.The only thing I wanted to do was lie, my head and close my eyes I haven’t slept properly, but any time I close my eyes all I saw was the Rope beside me waiting to be wrapped around my neck.It’s made me she had really badly anytime. I thought about it.I ignored the ladies

—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. Every means of transport registry has been nicked with cops, she won’t escape. 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

Definitely, I shouldn’t touch my eggs before they hatch, but I knew what am I got was t

—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
Billionaire's Captive Chapter 69
-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
