Billionaire's Captive Chapter 7
JOANNE* Adjusting his neck tie, and taking his off his jacket after,Hardy gave me a look. My gut gave me a weird feeling, like he was going to force me to the bed any minute. He wouldn't now, would he? I held my breath, as I watched the man in front of me. His eyes never left mine as he managed to take off his wrist watch, and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his white shirt that was almost a see through. I gulped. Hardy sighed "Now…" Now what? What did he want now? "I don't like you sitting on the floor. Would you get up." His voice was gruesome and demanding.I got up. "Good" He breathed out. "Now… let's have a proper conversation, take a seat" His voice was low, as he gestured his hand towards the wooden chair at the end of the room which was hardly visible. I looked back and forth between Hardy and the chair, not wanting to have any conversation. "Go!" He ordered, and I found my feet making their way towards the chair.So bossy!And I didn't know what he would d

I was lying on Hardy's king sized bed watching my life fall behind me. His room had become mine, which was more like a prison than a room, I wasn't allowed to go outside the room myself. I never had a reason to, and even when I once decided I would like to see the sun and feel the wind on my skin, I had more than four entourages, including Theodore, they all stayed glued to me like I was going to fly if they glanced elsewhere. Well I did plan for my big fly, but they never glanced elsewhere at the same time. I won't blame them, they were just doing their job. And I was doing somebody else's job. How sad. And after that day, I never requested to go outside again, all I did was eat and sleep in such a room. I got so sick of everything at one point, I tore down the gorgeous gigantic portrait of Hardy, crushed everything into almost crumbs, waiting for his worst. He did see the mess I created, but said nothing, he ended up ignoring me just like always, and I almos

That night, Hardy had stepped into my room - The room that used to be his. And with his sleeves all rolled up, exposing his veiny hands, he gave me this look. That look that somehow became the hardest thing for me to decipher. I was Joanne McCain, the brainiac in school who was smart enough to solve things right in a flick of an eye. But there was something about the look he gave me that I couldn't solve. It was not unpleasant yet was not pleasant either. "What?" I shook my head, when he wouldn't say a thing, but bury me alive with his stare. "Watch your tone," He scowled. I rolled my eyes as I took a seat in front of the newly built wall mirror and the princess-like table in front of it. Supposedly, it was to make the room more feminine-like and also to my liking, but it just made me feel like Rapunzel, the three days old pregnant version. I picked up a brush and started to brush my hair with it, doing that to buy time and not feel awkward with Hardy in my room or his

"Miss Joanne. . .""Miss joanne!""Joanne!" I was brought back to life thanks to the small tap one of the maids behind me dropped on my shoulder. I turned to my side to see Trinity beside me, her mouth slightly parted open, and her eyes craving for my attention. "Yeah…" I managed to say, adjusting my weight on the Chair."You've been spacing out more than usual, is everything okay?" Trinity asked. Nothing about my life was okay, as long as I was under Hardy's custody. I said nothing, but my eyes said more and Trinity grabbed it. Seeing that the maids were all done brushing my hair, Trinity told them to excuse us. The room emptied in one go, leaving Trinity and I alone. As the head maid, she got more respect than every other person, including me. She sighed. "I heard Master Hardy came to your room last night." "Mmm hmm.." I nodded, taking a chance to stare at my reflection with the mirror in front of me. "And I guess he must have said something that's become

make Hardy fall in love with me?" I scoffed, saying the words as if they were heavy.And they were in fact, heavy-handed and absurd.Trinity is amusing. "Are you kidding me?" I scoffed yet again.Trinity shook her head and wore an air of difficulty. So that wasn't a joke?"Wow," I mumbled as I made my way to the bed, all the way to the other side of the massive room."You know, I thought you really meant something logical when you claimed you knew what to do about my circumstance. But this is just ridiculous. how can I get Hardy to love me?, this sounds like a poor fairytale line."Flushing really hard, I had to fan my face with my hand to stop myself from exploding. But I kept going, "What happened to plans like assisting me in escaping, or even finding a replacement, or getting me out of this contract? Making Hardy fall in love with me sounds like bad news; he'd never fall in love with his toy, who lives and breathes for him. Please, Trinity."Trinity took a big step forward,"P

"Joanne" Hardy called and I found myself gulping. "You're pregnant." He said, and wow, I was starting to hate that word. "You're pregnant with my child, not yours. And that's why I need you to always grab an escort whenever you're leaving your room. Because not a single hair is ought to leave your body by something or someone else, if I didn't give permission. Now you will walk around here with caution. Get it?" His tone was sharp, but I gave no reply. Letting myself drown in his dark eyes, I went off. How… How is love possibly the only way I can be free from this sudden life this man has shoved down my throat. Or should I say that Bailey has shoved down my throat. Because he doesn't seem lovable, neither do I want him to love me, or let myself love him. But is love really the only way, if it is, do I really have no choice? I am not really a type to give up, I never want to give up. But doing another length to deceive this man, to seduce him. Would it be worth it? Can I even

That evening, when the maids had gotten me all dressed up, I stepped in front of my room's wall mirror and inspected my flat tummy.I envisioned how I would appear with an unanticipated baby bump, how I would appear after nine months, and how my child - His child - would appear after being born, and the thought of it all gave me a queasy feeling in my stomach.My hands slid from my hips to my tummy, and I softly rubbed my stomach, as if I could already feel the child.I exhaled a sigh."Is it kicking already?" Hardy's voice almost knocked me over against the chair in front of me.I sighed again as I jerked my head towards the entrance and softly scoffed when I saw Hardy standing there, dressed in a tuxedo sans the blazer."You scared me," I mumbled under my breath. When the hell did he walk in? "Seems like you were lost in your little world, you hardly noticed my presence," As he looked at me, his gaze hopped from my belly to my face.His voice sounded tired and more thicker and i

It was undeniable how good Hardy tasted, his lips hungrily crashing into mine like he'd been dying to kiss me. His hand was still holding my neck in place, like if he lets go they might wobble and fall off. My response to the kiss was unmatched by the man's ferocity; he went from fast-paced nibbles to emptying my lips and claiming my tongue as if it were his.I was out of breath, but I had no intention of stopping.It was really taking my breath away, yet I was ready to die on that spot, just for it. I had no idea what was playing on his mind. Had just that small gesture of mine driven him to such a state to kiss me this way, of course I would do anything to get out of here, but this is just… Hardy broke the kiss, the moment all my body started to give in, and I almost pulled him back. But I didn't want to get ahead of myself. He glanced at me from the mirror, seeing how my chest moved up and down from the night dress I was wearing, he smirked. His lips were red, and a bit

—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

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.

My mind, once nimble and quick, now labored to organize this flood of disorienting information.

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.
