Captivating The Brutish Billionaire Chapter Twenty Nine
~Gunther~I kept looking at Agathe to see if she was still mad at me. But to my dismay, she wouldn't spare me even a single glance. She and Carlyle were both seated on my right side, appearing as though they were having their own, little world without me. I am a bit jealous, honestly. Breakfast was brought out in a matter of seconds after that. Looking delighted, Carlyle shrieked and clapped her hands. "Yay! Strawberry French toast with cream! My favorite! I haven't eaten this for forever, Daddy!""Has mom restrained you from having this, baby?" I asked, brows raised. "Yes, Daddy. There's a lot of food Granny Flo wouldn't let me eat back at the mansion." She pouted. "She's that cruel sometimes." "Well, starting today, you can have this for breakfast every time you eat with me." "Yehey!" Agathe smiled at my daughter's reaction."This is also your favorite, sweetheart? Wow. What a sweet coincidence." Carlyle nodded, giggling. "Yes, Mommy. Daddy and I love to eat this for breakfa

~Agathe~In the plush backseat of his car, Gunther was seated directly next to me. I didn't give a damn if he could feel me staring at him incessantly from head to toe. Once more, seeing him dressed in a fancy three-piece suit sparked the kind of desire I am not even aware I had. How can he be so good-looking in everything he wears? He looks absolutely stunning no matter what he puts on.How on earth is that even possible? Not to mention he smells so damn good. And, watching the way his Adam's apple moves sensually every time he speaks on his earpiece is indeed breathtaking.Definitely, a wonderful sight to behold, his insane handsomeness is compelling me to lose my mind. "Stop staring at me, love. Because soon enough, it's going to become a habit of yours. Though, I would love that to happen."Gunther spoke, but he didn't glance at me; he was focused on the laptop sitting on his lap. I pretended not to hear him at all as I sat upright and rolled my eyes at him. He could have at

~Thaddeus~I was casually sauntering toward my office that morning when Bernice, my secretary, suddenly approached me with a troubled look on her face. "Sir Thad! Thank God you've finally arrived!" I stopped drinking the cupped coffee in my hand and cocked an eyebrow at Bernice. "Why? What is it? Is there something wrong?"I checked my wristwatch and saw that I had arrived just in time. "I'm not late, Berns. And as far as I can remember, we have finished doing the last-minute revisions for tomorrow's launching event." One of my primary responsibilities as the managing director of S.G.C. is to manage daily business operations and to make sure everything operates as smoothly as possible.Bernice scratched her forehead and let out a deep sigh. "I see, you didn't read my text, Sir. I texted you that there will be an emergency meeting today in the main conference room. It was President Florence who asked for it." "Emergency meeting? What for?" I asked before I suddenly recalled overhear

~Agathe~"What the hell was that all about, Agathe? Care to fucking enlighten me?" With unwavering rage in his voice, Gunther asked. He was breathing heavily, clenching his fists, and closing his eyes for a second to contain his anger. I had a hard time understanding his actions since I was confident that what I did was the best thing to do. He dragged me out of the conference room just a moment ago and ruthlessly shoved me inside a storage area.I suddenly found myself surrounded by filing cabinets and office furniture filled with a variety of papers, supplies, and copy materials. My mind was in a daze because I was still processing what happened after I had initiated a kiss with him in front of those scary people wearing sparkling suits and corporate dresses. [Flashback]When I gazed into Gunther's mesmerizing dark-amber eyes, it was like I was seeing deep inside his soul.My heart was beating so quickly and when I closed my eyes and leaned in to claim his lips, everything felt

~Gunther~"Should we become friends instead?" Out of the blue, Agathe asked as though I had not just told her how I felt. Hold on. What the fuck is she talking about? "Forgive me but I don't feel the same way about you." I blinked in confusion, my body was getting numbed by the second, unable to believe what I had just heard from her mouth.She had just told me that I could have at least tried, so why is she saying that now? I could see how badly she wanted me as well from the look in her eyes. So, why on earth is she uttering such rubbish? I have never had to deal with rejection before in my life. It was something I do to other people, not the other way around. I had turned down a ton of business deals, women who almost threw themselves at me, and those people who begged me not to kill them whenever I was bored.Agathe kept shedding tears, but I won't be fooled by that for much longer. "Are you indeed rejecting me?" "I'm sorry. I just can't-" I bit my lower lip in annoyance, cu

~Agathe~I never realized how much I had fallen for Gunther until I watched him stand close to the woman who was arranged to marry him before. My heart suddenly weighed so heavily that I could barely make myself move, much less feel anything. She was the oldest De Luca, the one Yesenia had told me about. "You cannot just walk into my office and act as though you have every right to do so, Geraldine." Gunther was clenching his jaw tightly as he spoke, his voice sounded so furious. The woman smiled seductively, and compared to me, she appeared incredibly sophisticated and elegant. All of a sudden, I feel very small and unconfident.Yesenia claimed that the woman was over forty by the time she and Gunther were about to get married four years ago. But at that moment, all I could make out was that she almost appeared to be Gunther's age. She looked absolutely fine compared to her age. "My father, as far as I can remember, is one of the biggest shareholders in this company, Percival. T

~Gunther~Agathe was about to close her eyes and lie down on the table but I laughed out of nowhere. My eyes were blazing with desire, but I had to fight the urge to taste her. I was so angry right now that I wanted to fucking punish her."Funny how even though you rejected me, you still believed I could give you the kind of pleasure that every woman in this city would give anything to have." She immediately reddened in shame, and I suddenly thought of the night I had drenched her face in a bucket of icy water.The reaction I received from her that evening was the same as her reaction right now. Smirking, I stood up and collected my things while she struggled to cover herself. "Let's go back to my office. I still have plenty of work to accomplish." I didn't wait for her reaction, I just turned around and marched straight for the door, leaving her astounded and fuming. Serves her right for breaking my heart. Before reaching for the knob, I looked back at her again and menacingly

~Agathe~I never imagined I needed to see Gunther knead pasta dough with his bare hands while only wearing his pants. Goodness gracious. His physique is beyond anything I have ever seen. Even his six-pack appeared to have been meticulously carved like a Greek deity.Even if I didn't want to, my cheeks flushed in embarrassment and something else. All of a sudden, I felt hot and out of breath. I then noticed that the pasta dough he was kneading had become overly dry. I knew because I had occasionally helped in the kitchen when I was still working at that teensy restaurant in Snowflake Village. Hence, to make it cohesive and smooth again, Gunther sprinkled some water on his fingers and continued kneading the dough. I found myself gasping as I watched him in silence. Out of nowhere, my nipples tingled when I imagined that he was kneading my breasts instead of the dough. God. I suddenly hate my mind. Why am I feeling this right now? I glanced at the sweatshirt I was wearing that I

~Agathe~“Baby, can you forgive me too?” Gunther asked our daughter when she had calmed down a little. “I’m so sorry for failing to be your father for the past four years. I’m so sorry that I tried to push you away and rejected you so many times that I lost count.”“I understand, Daddy. Yennie would always tell me that you were just hurting because of Mommy's disappearance.” We were both silent after that, but Carlyle went on.“I love you so much, mommy. I love you so much, daddy. I forgive both of you.” Carlyle told us, intertwining her hands with mine and Gunther's. “Please, mommy, don't ever leave us again. Don't ever leave me and Daddy again. Daddy and I need you here. We need you.” I nodded at her.I know it will take her a lifetime to truly forgive me, but I am still willing to do anything just to make up for the time I spent without her and Gunther.“I love you so much, too, my sweetheart.” When Gunther's gaze met mine, I whispered to him as well. “I love you so much, too, Gunt

~Agathe~[Present Time]I opened my eyes in haste and furrowed my eyebrows when I heard something inside the house. The flashbacks playing in my mind had stopped but I couldn't care less since I suddenly got worried.The sound seemed to be a commotion, and the only people left inside the house were Graziella and Thaddeus.I quickly stood up and ran towards the house, not looking back at my parents’ graves. I opened the kitchen’s backdoor and entered the house, desperately searching for Graziella and Thaddeus.What if Gunther had followed us and hurt Grazie and Thad because he couldn't find me inside the house? “Grazie? Thad?”I gasped and felt as if my soul had been ripped away from my body when I noticed Gunther and Thaddeus brawling on the floor. My heart tightened in pain when I also noticed Gunther's handsome face was covered in bruises and scratches.“Where is my wife, Thaddeus!” Gunther punched Thaddeus in the face, sending him flying into the wooden coffee table.The coffee tab

~Agathe~I remembered growing up with a lot of hatred engraved in my heart.Despite being surrounded by good people, I never forgot the promise I made to myself when I was five years old.[Flashback, five years ago]“You're late again, Miss Capucine.” Our English teacher said as soon as I entered the classroom.“I'm sorry, Miss Kim.” I apologized and went to my seat. I opened my literature book to page fifty three as instructed on the board.As expected, my classmates began whispering about me. “Goodness. I cannot stand her. She is so pitiful. She makes our village look cheap with her cheap clothes.”“Her beauty means nothing if his father is already dead. Who dies in an avalanche anyway?” Then everyone laughed, and Miss Kim did nothing to stop them.“Everyone knows you have a sick mother and work in a restaurant. But, do you really have to be late to my class every day, Miss Capucine?” Miss Kim replied angrily to me, her nostrils flaring.“I'm sorry.” That was all I could say again.

~Agathe~“You should take a shower first, Agathe, and change into clean clothes.” Graziella reminded me as we finally entered the house.I gasped, and tears nearly welled up in my eyes again. Everything inside my house was immaculately clean and organized.Graziella patted my back. “I come back here every day to clean and water your plants, hoping that one day you will return home. I know you were only gone for a few weeks, but the thought of not seeing you again tormented me.”Graziella quickly put some shoes on my feet. “I figured you would want to visit your mother and father first, so you should wear these. God, your feet are so cold.”She wiped away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks and stood up again. She guided me to the kitchen, where the backyard door is located.Thaddeus was quietly following behind us as we opened the door to the backyard, and my mouth opened wide in amazement once more.“How on earth. .” That was all I could say as I stared at everything in front o

~Agathe~This definitely changes everything.How am I going to look at Carlyle now that I have killed her own grandparents?I was shocked when Graziella snatched the papers from my hand and threw them back on Thaddeus’ lap.“She is not going back to that mansion. Drive us straight to Snowflake Village, Silvestri. I'm going to hide her so that no one can hurt Agathe again.”A tear fell from my eye until I could no longer stop it. I suddenly burst into tears and broke down.How is this possible? How did Carlyle become my daughter?How did someone so cute and adorable come out of me?How will she forgive me now that there's a possibility she saw me unaliving her own grandparents?“Grazie. Carlyle is my daughter.” I said with a hint of happiness in my voice. But, I know they can sense the utter devastation deep inside me as well.Graziella adjusted her body to stare at me from the passenger’s seat, and her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke to me.“I know, pookie. And, I am really sor

~Agathe~I was astonished when Yesenia gave me a weird look. Her eyes reflected a faint hint of disappointment.My heart fell when she gave me that look.I expected her to be the first person to understand that I did not intend for any of this to happen.I thought she would defend me and assure me that everything would be fine.“Arghhh. .” I heard someone groan behind me and when I glanced, I saw Calixto slowly sitting up.His eyes remained closed as he gently held the back of his head, even though it was still bleeding a bit. I wanted so badly to show how grateful I was that he woke up and even wanted to ask him if he was feeling alright.However, as I turned my attention back to Gunther, I noticed that his gaze never wavered. He continued to look at me with the same, even colder eyes.I felt like my whole world had turned upside down. I do not want to live any longer after everything I am experiencing right now.My eyes widened when he tried to take a step toward me while still hold

~Agathe~I felt Gunther straighten his body after seeing the gun being pointed at me. He dropped my arm that was holding him and shielded me with his body.“You have the audacity to point a gun at my wife, father? Seriously, where is all of this confidence coming from?”“You are full of debts, your life is hanging by a thread, and the only thing keeping you alive is me. And, yet you have the audacity to point a gun at my wife!”I tried to look at Gunther's father, but Gunther would not let me. He held me in place by placing his arm in front of me.“You caused me to be in so much debt, you fucking piece of shit!”“And, whose fault is that, father? You are the one who gambled away all of your money! You weren't forced to do that! I only set the trap for you! It was still your decision to do such a thing!”Before anyone could say anything else, I noticed how quickly Calixto walked towards Gunther's father and snatched the gun from the devil’s hand.Then he kicked Gunther's father in the

~Agathe~I scoffed when Gunther ignored my question as if I was not there. He didn't even flinch, and kept doing whatever the hell he was doing.The nerve of this guy. Am I a joke to him?He bent down a little to sign some documents on the coffee table, holding a pen in his hand. When he was finished, he stood up and casually slipped his hands into his pockets.Afterward, I saw Atty. Schneider gathered the papers and carefully placed them inside his attaché case. Then, he stood up as well and casually shook Gunther's hand as if I had not just threatened his client.“Congratulations, Gunther. You are now the rightful owner to all of Madame Hester's three hundred fifty billion dollars worth of wealth, assets and properties.”Atty. Schneider was smiling from ear to ear. He seemed genuinely happy for Gunther.“Thank you very much for all of your help, Attorney Schneider. I owe it all to you. Without your assistance, I would be unable to claim what is rightfully mine.” Gunther said in his

~Agathe~[Present Time]I could hear faint voices talking around me. I looked around the darkness that surrounded me but saw no one.I felt like I was floating, but my feet remained on the ground. I felt hopeless.I want to go back to my mother because she still needs me. My father just died, and I am the only one she has left.“Her finger moved, Doctor Wright!” I heard someone say something beside me, but when I looked to my side, I saw no one.“Hello? Who are you? Where exactly am I? Where is my mother?" I asked in a loud voice, without even opening my mouth.“She's regaining consciousness. Quickly, call Gunther.”“But, Doctor. He is downstairs, discussing something important with his family. What are we supposed to do?”“Check her pulse. Check everything.” Before I could respond, I felt something powerful catapult me through the air.“Arghhhhhhhhh!”Before I knew it, I opened my eyes again to see a bright light aimed directly at my eyes. “She is awake! The patient is awake, doctor!
