2024-12-02 00:23:07I snatched the envelope from her and opened it as quickly as I could. It was still sealed, so I knew they hadn't opened it yet. I found a handwritten letter inside, it was written in Isabella's writing, I started reading:
"Mum and dad, I'm sorry, but I can't marry Blake, I know this might come as a huge shock to you but this is what I want, I hope you'll understand why I had to do this. And don't look for me please, I'm fine. I'll come back when I'm ready."
She hadn't even bothered to mention me in her letter.
Of all the things I expected to go wrong today, a missing bride was not one of the things I planned for. How do I do damage control to a missing bride situation?
I ran to our parents room, we needed to come up with a solution and we needed to come up with it fast, I knocked once and entered. On entering, mum was seated at a vanity table, retouching her makeup while dad was sitting in one of the chairs, reading a newspaper.
"Mum? Dad?" I called out to them and they turned to me.
"What do you want Helen? Today is an important day for this family, there's no time to accommodate your dramatics at the moment." Mum fired at me, giving me no chance to say anything.
I cast my eyes downwards and apologized, "I'm sorry," I started, "but something has happened."
"What the hell have you done Helen? Why do you want to bring shame on this family on a day like this? Robert, I told you we should have left her at home." She snarled at me before turning to dad.
"What happened?" Dad finally closed his newspaper and turned to address me.
"Um-um-I didn't do-do any-any-any-thing…."
I stammered, not really knowing where to start from, but mum was loosing her patience, she shouted harshly on me before I could finish putting my words together, "Will you just open your mouth and speak, you imbecile! This is why Isabella is better than you and this is why she's the one making us proud today, not you."
I had heard this all my life, and it still hurt every time I heard it. They had always reminded me of how Isabella was better than me from the first day she was born, she was the perfect daughter, while I was the daughter they had to put up with, it hurt me more than anything but there was nothing I could do. They were still my family, no matter how harsly they treated me.
I pulled myself together and finally spoke, "Isabella isn't here and I don't think she's coming."
Mum was in my face immediately, "What do you mean she's not coming? What did you do to her?"
"I didn't do anything to her mum. I'd never hurt Isabella, especially not on a day like today."
"Liar!!! Why isn't she here then?"
"I don't know mum. Her bridesmaids found this in her hotel room this morning." I pulled the letter out and showed it to them.
Mum snatched it out of my hands immediately and read it.
"Robert, you have to see this." She called out to dad and passed him the letter.
He sighed heavily after reading the letter, "What are we going to do Robert? What if the Robinson's change their minds? This wedding is part of the contract." Mum lamented, completely forgetting that I was still in the room.
"Wait, what contract are you talking about?" I asked, but they just ignored me.
"That's not going to happen. They want a wedding right? Then we'll give them a wedding." Dad said firmly and turned to me, "Get dressed. You're getting married."
"What?" Mum and I asked in disbelief at the same time.
"Did I stutter? I said get dressed!!!" He shouted at me, now on the verge of losing his cool.
"I can't marry Isabella's husband dad." I argued, hoping he'd hear how ridiculous this idea of his was.
"You ungrateful rat! Is this how you want to repay us? After everything we've done for you? After we rescued you from rotting in that Orphanage?" He yelled at me again.
"I'm sorry dad, but I can't marry Isabella's husband. Let's just call the wedding off, I'm sure Isabella will come back, she's just getting cold feet." I told him, hoping he'd take my advice.
"Call the wedding off? Are you insane? I will drag you to that alter if I must, but this wedding will happen and it will happen right now." Dad sneered and grabbed my wrist, pulling me in the direction of Isabella's room.
"Dad! Please wait! You're hurting me please." I cried but he didn't listen.
He pushed me into the room and all the bridesmaids turned around and looked at us, "Everyone out!!" He yelled and they all scurried out of the room.
"Now listen, you are Isabella Davies and you are getting married to Blake Robinson today. Do I make myself clear?" He asked me in a cold voice that made me tremor in fear, so I nodded timidly and he left me in the room.
I tried my hardest not to cry and sat there as I got dolled up and before I knew what was happening, I was standing in front of the doors that led to the wedding hall, in a white wedding gown, about to walk the aisle and get married.
The music started playing and I looped my hand through dad's own, "Make sure this is perfect, you're getting married in your sister's place, so make sure you do everything you can to satisfy Blake, and I mean everything." He told me.
I nodded and gulped harshly, the doors opened and we walked inside.
I kept my eyes down the entire time we were walking the aisle, I was scared that if I made eye contact with anyone, I'd lose my cool and run out of the hall, I needed to go through with this.
As soon as we reached the end of the aisle, Blake outstretched his hands to me and I looked up at him about to take his hands but when he looked into my eyes, he said, "You're not Isabella."
He dropped his hand and stepped away from me.
I looked at him with wide eyes. What was he going to do now?

I heard the crowd murmuring behind us, they were wondering what was happening. Blake took another look at me and I don't know why he changed his mind but he stepped forward and held his hand out for me to take.I sighed inwardly in relief and took his hand, mounting the alter with him.Throughout the entire service, he didn't even look at me. To the others, it looked like he was staring into my eyes but he was actually looking over my head.The service ended after the priest pronounced us as husband and wife and before we could do anything, Blake grabbed my hands, and pulled me out of the wedding hall. My parents and his dad were right behind us as well, when we were now in a secluded area he turned and addressed the small crowd that had gathered around us. "We're meeting back at the ballroom in the next ten minutes." That was what he said and stormed off."What trick are you trying to pull on us Mr and Mrs Davies?" His father also asked before turning in the opposite direction and

They didn't hug me goodbye or anything, if I didn't know better, I'd say they had been waiting for an opportunity to dump me all this while and the right opportunity just presented itself in the form of Blake Robinson. I didn't say anything, I just nodded, turned around and followed Blake out of the room. A sleek black car was waiting for us at the main entrance and when we entered, the car zoomed off immediately to God knows where, I wanted to ask Blake where we were going but I had a feeling he wouldn't answer, so I decided to keep my mouth shut instead. The air in the car was filled with thick tension and I wished I could say something to Blake.He must have read my mind because he set his phone down on the middle console before turning to me, "I have to say, it's a nice trick you and your family pulled on me, I didn't realise it was a family of foxes." What he said sounded like a compliment on the surface level but I knew better, I heard the insult in his words from miles away

I made sure to only leave my room to eat when I knew he already had his meal and that he was done eating. He usually retired to his study after every meal and I knew those periods were my safe time. It was those few hours I had to do as I pleased without judgment or complaints from anyone. Today was Monday though and it was time to go back to work. I was nervous about going to work today, probably because I knew the whole office would have heard about my wedding to Blake Robinson. It was bad enough that some people already thought I didn't deserve the position in our office. They claimed I should allow someone who really needed the job to have it, instead of me who already had everything. Only if they knew the truth.I shook off those comments immediately and focused on getting dressed. I was a computer technician at a small firm that recently hit the market. When I was finished dressing, I knew the possibility of running into Blake this morning was high, so I composed myself and

I looked up to him and saw my phone in his hands, "Call your workplace yourself and tell them you quit." He demanded and tears welled up in my eyes again. I had gotten a job in that company through my hard work. I didn't get it through any connections whatsoever, so the fact that he was making me do this was gut wrenching. I took my phone and dialed the CEO's contact. He picked up immediately, "Helen, what the fuck? I've been trying to reach you all day. So you suddenly marry Blake Robinson and our small firm isn't good enough for you anymore?" He lashed out. This was all a misunderstanding and I wished I could clear up the misunderstanding but there was nothing I could do, my hands were tied. "I'm sorry Daniel, but I quit." I whispered into the phone. "You know what, you can go fuck yourself Helen ." He hung up the call and Blake started laughing. He was laughing at my misery. He didn't say anything again and wordlessly left his study, with the door wide open. I slowly rose to

I needed to know what the actual terms of this contract were though, I needed to know what both parties were getting from this arrangement and see if there was a way I could use it to my advantage. Two years wasn't a long time if I was being honest with myself, but was this how the next two years of my life was going to be? With walking on eggshells around who was supposed to be my husband? I couldn't do it, I needed to do something about my current predicament, I needed to find a way to free myself, that was the last thing I thought about before surrendering to the darkness. "Hey, wake up! Did I tell you, you could sleep?" I heard a voice from a distance and something poking my back as well. I groaned out in protest and even turned in the opposite direction, oblivious to the fact that I was not on my bed at the present moment, "Pathetic." The voice said before walking away. And there was perfect silence and peace I thought. Before I could get too deeply engrossed with my sleep a

Before I could get lost or dwell too much on what working here would mean for me, Blake's words interrupted my thoughts, "Why are there reporters out here again? I thought I told the PR team to take care of them?" He asked the person behind the steering wheel. "Yes you did sir, but they insist you be the one to address them. They said they won't stop till you give them an audience." The man explained. Blake was annoyed, there were stress lines on his face too, "Fine then, let's get this done and over with once and for all." He said and I didn't know what he meant by that, but I knew he was up to something. The car came to a stop in front of the building, and he turned to me, "Stay here, follow my lead and talk only when I ask you to." He instructed me and I knew he was very serious. I didn't want to defy his serious and direct orders, I didn't want to know what the consequences of doing that would be.The reporters swarmed around the car like hungry bees, thankfully, the security

I sensed that I wasn't the only one affected, because Blake had this dazed look in his eyes the moment we separated, so I'd like to think the kiss affected him just as much as it affected me. "That will be all for today." Blake said abruptly after we separated and he entered the building, pulling me alongside as well. He didn't stop walking, and he was taking large strides, so it felt like I was running after him instead. We made it to the elevator and when we stepped in, I bent down, clutching my chest and gasping for air. I felt Blake's eyes on me so I looked up and found him staring at me indeed. He must have been startled because he quickly let go of my hand and even stepped away from me, like I had burnt him or something. He wanted to say something but the opening of the elevator cut him off and he stepped out immediately, like he couldn't stand being in the same space as me. I followed after him quickly, I didn't want to lose him, I couldn't stand the risk of getting lost on

With nowhere to run to, I crashed to the floor at the corner of a dim hallway and cried my eyes out. My life was terrible. Mom and Dad had subjected me to the worst life possible. All of this wouldn't have happened if only Isabella was around. "Why did she have to go all of a sudden?" I asked no one in particular, and I sniffed back tears, hurt from the reality of being married to this bastard.He treated me as though I was simply a piece of rag, and it hurt me in more ways than I was willing to admit. My phone rang in my purse and I pulled it out to see that it was the same unknown number that had called me nights ago. Was the caller calling to make fun of me? What had I done to deserve this? Well, I knew the caller's antics now and I wasn't going to say anything stupid.I answered the call and kept mute, waiting for the caller to speak up first. There was silence on the line and I remained quiet, listening for a sound."Helen?" A feminine voice called out, and it sounded so much

Helen's POVMy eyes fluttered open and pain exploded in my head. I tried to place a hand on my head to manage the pain, but I saw that I could not lift my hands. My hands were tied to my legs with a tight rope. I was lying on my side and couldn't exactly say where I was, except that everywhere was dark and I was in motion. The last thing I recalled was walking into the bathroom with Isabella. Isabella! I thought and my eyes popped wide open. Where the hell was she and what had happened to the both of us?"Isabella?" I called out, but there was no response. I shut my eyes, trying to recall what the hell had happened and how I ended up here. A bump caused my eyes to snap open, pulling me out of my focused state. It was so hard to stay focused in this state, and I wondered where I was being taken. The fact that I could not recall a thing only managed to get me so annoyed and I wanted to run mad. "Who the hell are you and what do you want with me?" I hissed and banged hard on the ro

Blake's POV "I am so so sorry about this sir. I don't know how all of this had happened. She went out to the restroom with her younger sister and since Mrs. Robinson had given me and my men a firm warning never to follow her to the bathroom, we decided to keep our distance. I am still very much clueless on how the hell this happened." The head of Helen's security said to me the moment he walked over to me.I glared at the man and even though I could see the regret and pain in his eyes, I jerked him by the collar and pushed him into the wall. His negligence had just cost me so much pain and there was no way in hell I was letting this go as just some innocent mistake. He had hurt me, and I was going to make sure that he felt every ounce of pain I was feeling."You had one job to do, only one freaking job and you had to mess that up. Isn't that silly? I thought you were a professional, I didn't know that you were a big clown. God, I regret ever working with you.”“Just pray, pray with

Blake's POV My phone vibrated on the table, pulling my gaze away from the computer screen. I have been up all morning working. A glance at the phone showed that it was my private investigator calling and I quickly took the call, hoping he had some update on the activities of that bitch, Skylar."Tell me, what do you have?" I asked him as soon as I took the call. "Nothing good." He said, causing my belly to churn with knots. "What do you mean by nothing good?" I asked, confused by what he was saying. "Well, as of today, I couldn't find her." He confessed. A laugh escaped my lips. "What the hell do you mean by that? She is a human being, you have been keeping surveillance on her, so what the hell do you mean you couldn't find her today?" I blew hot, not believing what I was hearing right now."Sir, I know that you are angry and this isn't what you expected when you gave me this job, but you need to understand that my team and I are currently on top of this. I just simply called to

Isabella's POV I rolled my eyes in anger at Helen's friend. The bitch just couldn't keep to herself. All the suspicious glances she had been throwing my way all day hadn't gotten lost on me. She had a vendetta against me, and it must be because of what Helen had said to her about me. I was lost on the details of what my sister must have said to her, but I was certain that they weren't very nice for her to really be committed to embarrassing me in public like this. Well, I didn't care what she thought of me. All I needed was a few minutes alone with Helen and I would achieve my aim. "Elizabeth, Isabella is my sister and you need to learn how to respect that. Whenever you see us together, you need to understand that we need each other and not try to be nosy. Is that clear?" Helen said to her friend in a crisp tone.Elizabeth's face fell ashen and a mocking smile lined my lips. This wasn't how I had expected this to play out, but it was even better."Yes, I understand. I am so sorry i

Helen's POV I was all set and ready to go to the studio when my phone pinged with a message from my sister. I picked it up and read. 'Hey, do you mind if we spend some time at the set today? I would really love to watch you work. If yes, text me the address to your studio.' A bright smile lined my lips on reading the message. This was the best morning text anyone could send to me and there was no way I could say no to my sister. 'I will come pick you up from Mom and Dad's. I love you.'"You look really happy this morning." Blake's mom commented as I grabbed my lunch from the dining table. Blake had left home earlier than usual. He had a business meeting to attend to. He was trying to put things in place before our ceremony so we could get ample time for a vacation."Well, I received great news from my sister. I will see you later. Have fun." I beamed at her and walked out of the house. Isabella was waiting in front of Mom and Dad's house by the time I got there. The moment my ca

Helen's POV "Where the hell have you been? I just got off a call with Elizabeth who told me that you left the studio earlier in the day and moved your shoot to the next day." Blake said to me as I walked into the house. He was already off his work clothes and I could tell that he had been back home for quite a while now. "I am sorry for not informing you earlier, but Isabella wanted us to see," I said to him.His face immediately went ashen on hearing that. "What the hell do you mean by that? What did she want from you? Don't tell me you went to see that witch despite all she had put us through?"I rolled my eyes at his angry tone, knowing that things were not so bad to make him get angry. Yes, Isabella always seemed like the bad egg all the time, but now, she was trying to change and I was committed to giving her all the help she would require. "Can you calm down? At least, I am here with you in one piece. If she had wanted to do something to me, she would have done it a long tim

Isabella’s POVThe smile on my face quickly morphed into an evil grin as soon as Helen’s car zoomed off. I was just dropped off at my parents' home even though I didn't want to be there, but I had to keep up with my lies. Today had not gone as I expected, but I was committed to making lemonade out of the lemons the day had provided me with. All hope wasn’t lost and I could still achieve what I wanted in a few moves. It was quite shocking how easy it was for me to gain her trust. A few tears and a sob story and she had fallen so deep into my plans. Maybe after all of this, I would go ahead and pursue a career in acting. I was good. “Or Helen is just too stupid.” I hissed as I walked into my parent’s home. I couldn’t say if it was desperation to have my love or what, but whatever it was, it had worked out perfectly for me and I was going to use it to my advantage even more. “Isabella! You are back home.” Mom squealed as she pulled me into a hug after walking into the house. “Good
Enslaved By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 191
Helen’s POV“Fine, I would keep things between us.” I voiced out to her and clutched her hand. “I hope you are out of his house now. I don’t want you to keep on living with him. He would keep on taking advantage of you if you were still at his house.” A smile lined her face. “I have returned home, Helen. I could not take any more of his control. Thankfully, I have you on my side now, so I am certain that he would not try anything stupid anymore.” “Yeah, you are right. I am so happy that you are finally out of his clutches.” I sighed and relaxed my back on the chair, feeling much better than I had felt when I first walked in here. With a snap of my fingers, a waiter came over to our side and we placed orders for our meal. For the first time, I was paying for my sister’s meal and it filled me with a warm fuzzy feeling. I felt so grown up and like the boss ladies I usually saw in movies and read about in books.“So, what are you up to? I believe I must have pulled you out of something
Enslaved By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 190
Helen’s POVI was fully aware of my bodyguards as soon as I stepped into the restaurant. Just as Blake had said, they were professionals and had done their best not to seem so obvious, but I was fully aware of them and it made me shake. As much as Isabella hates me, she would not be able to do anything bad to me. There was no need for all the bodyguards that were here with me, but Blake’s words played in my head, “It was better to be safe than sorry.” I hadn’t even told him that I was coming here, and maybe being surrounded by bodyguards had given me the confidence to come out at peace. The restaurant was mostly empty, so finding Isabella wasn’t much work. She was seated at one of the empty tables by a corner, head bent. I couldn’t see her face properly, but I could tell that she was deep in worry. Taking gentle steps, I walked over to her. “Hey.” I greeted and she raised her head.Her eyes were red and smeared with tears. Her cheeks were puffy and she generally didn’t look good.
