Billionaire's Captive Chapter 10
"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

I was more than perplexed as I slowly rose to my feet."Theodore..? What exactly are you doing here?" I inquired, oblivious to the fact that I had just had a wild almost-sex dream about Hardy."To take you away, come on. We have to leave, or else we're going to be late" My eyes widened in shock. Is it finally happening? Leave as in escape.? I desperately wanted to clarify, but Theodore shook his head and whispered, as if he had read my mind. "Hardy's order." I sighed as I put my feet in the slides next to the bed, and Theodore grabbed my hand and pulled me carefully toward the door.What could possibly be wrong?"What's happening?" As we walked down the long, never-ending hall, I asked."Really, nothing." Theodore answered, and it was clear that he heard the worry in my voice."Theo." I called. "Nothing, okay! It's nothing to be worried about. You're just changing location." He said. Changing location…"Of course, like the parcel I am." I sighed. "You're not a parcel. Theodor

Theodore escorted me beyond the too-long hotel hallway before taking me to a more private spot, and I believe we walked into another building nearby because the walk was very lengthy and the space seemed a little different, so I was pretty sure we were in another building. We went up some stairs and then through a door, and then we found ourselves behind another closed door. We were making way too many abrupt turns, and it was just too much for me to compute. Finally, we arrived at another closed door, and behind it stood Hardy, dressed in all black with his hand holding his thick long blazer. I noticed the dozens of expensive diamond rings that he was wearing in his other hand. When Hardy became aware that Theodore and I were present, his shadowy eyes landed on me.And much like a DVR, my unpleasant dream about him played back in front of my eyes, and I found myself having to force myself to swallow.Darn it.Even though it was only for a split second, I swear I saw his pupil mov

"I want you to seduce them." Before I could make out what Hardy was saying to me, the alien words. Not that they were actually alien words, but were like so freaking strange.Who am I to seduce? The couples coming towards us? I sighed internally when the couples got to us and geez they were both so tall. The man's height was competing with Hardy's and the shiny blonde beside him was just two inches shorter than he was. Wow. "Hardy Bensimon." The man called, balancing his lady arms in his, and throwing Hardy one of the biggest most brightest smile. "Jeffery," Hardy called, coldly. "You haven't change one bit." Said the man, "Anyways, this is my wife, Aneesa" the Jeffery guy smiled so much his one sided dimple just had to expose itself through his scanty bears. "HI, I'm Aneesa." The lovely lady offered for a hand shake, but Hardy never took it. She looked sad, and a whole disappointedBut what did she expect, Hardy was a beast. A gruesome rude one. Instead, I took the l

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.

—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

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.
