HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Chapter 20
OLD FRIENDKim unaware of who the lady was prevented her from hugging Isabella, Isabella who was equally confused stood there staring at her. She could not remember knowing her, and the lady was dressed in a cleaners' uniform. She was not sure she was acquainted with anyone of such status."Isabella it's me, Erin," the lady said touching her chest, Isabella still found it hard to remember who she was but she forced a smile not to make her feel awkward. Lots of people were staring."Erin, Hi," she smiled making Kim furrow her brows in confusion."Yeah, you remember me," Erin laughed happily, she would have been buried in embarrassment if she pushed her away, by now people had attention on their business.Seeing there was less attention on them Isabella suggested they go outside. "Let's talk better outside, you are not busy are you?""No, I am free. You look good," Erin giggled while Isabella scoffed mentally, she has always looked good.Kim followed silently, she could read through Isa

MEETING YVONNE★MONDAY★Yvonne was sitting at Isabella's sit, and David was in his painting room trying to get a painting right but he had been distracted lately by reasons known to him alone.Yvonne tried to reach out to him but he shut her off. "We can talk later but rightnow I have to work, sit over there and scroll on your phone or something." His words rang in her head, it hurt her feelings. She had a crush on him and the best he could do was keep pushing her away."I wish a customer would just walk in here and get rid of my boredom," Yvonne muttered and just then a figure walked in.With a smile she turned to Isabella, Isabella didn't notice her presence. She had her gaze on her phone she was chatting with the lawyer she got for Erin."You here to get a painting?" Yvonne asked with a smile, all she wanted was to get David's attention. Without a response from Isabella, she dashed into the painting room, like a thief caught David covering the painting with a piece of clothing."A

A FRIEND IN NEEDIsabella was sitting on the couch with Kim while Erin sat on a chair, Isabella tried to wash her face off earlier. She had heard rumors of women covering their wounds with heavy makeup.Erin was poor, not too poor to afford makeup but putting on that much while at work was not necessary."Tell us the truth we are here to help," Isabella assured, Erin fidgeting with her sweaty palm. She was not sure of the best thing to do, should she come out clean?However, this is life not school how can Isabella possibly make her husband stop?Isabella could tell something was going on, and last would be delighted to show off her ring but Erin simply didn't want others to see it. She didn't seem proud of it."Hey," Kim touched her, she was startled by her action. She had spaced out, she turned fearfully with her teary eyes to look at Kim."You should calm your nerves," Kim suggested.Erin exhaled and inhaled a few times before speaking again. "Can you get me a bowl with water and a

JEALOUSYThough her palm was scratched Yvonne was still pleased the guys were coming to save her, she slapped Isabella's hand making her stagger. With a smirk, she stylishly hit her leg making her fall on her butt."Isa," David squats beside her. "Are you hurt?" He sounded concerned."Isabella!" Chris stopped beside her too, Yvonne bit her lip sadly realizing no one was helping her."I am fine, Yvonne is hurt though," Isabella replied as Chris helped her get back on her feet, they turned to find Yvonne staring at her peeled palm.David moved to her. "Hey," he helped her get up, though Yvonne should be pleased she pushed him away."I will get the doctor to treat you," Chris said."It is not necessary, I will just go to a pharmacy," Yvonne replied politely, all she wanted was to leave that spot she didn't want to be anywhere near Isabella."No, it is a live-in doctor. Come with me," he led the way while Yvonne reluctantly followed.Isabella stared at the spot where she had fallen and ho

ARGUMENTDavid brought his hand slowly to Isabella's lip as he made to wipe the stain on it, she had eaten cookies hours ago yet she had a stain on her lip without her knowledge."You have something on your lip," David said about to wipe it off but Yvonne pushed his hand bringing everyone back to their senses."I will clean it, thank you," Isabella chuckled awkwardly moving away from the painting.She got a glass from her bag and wiped her lips slowly, it was a small stain anyone else would have missed it. She was impressed David noticed, she found herself blushing as she rubbed her hand continuously on her lip."Are you going to keep blushing or we are leaving?" Yvonne uttered rudely behind her, she turned to find Yvonne standing so close while David covered the painting.His wrist was hurting as he rushed the painting because of Isabella, he wanted her to see what it would look like."I am done," Isabella went to get the tray and the empty bottles of juice.Chris was seen giving a m

UNDESCRIBED FEELINGSYvonne felt tears in her eyes, she had just wanted to let it out since David made the declaration at Chriss' place earlier that they weren't together.How could he not have considered her feelings? Well, she doesn't consider his too but that was a different situation and now she is forced to spill the truth."Why do you see Isabella as a threat?" He questioned getting on her nerves by mentioning Isabella, all she wanted was a night without her. Even in her absence, she is still a problem."Yvonne!" He raised his voice.Angrily Yvonne snapped at him. "I am not your little sister, don't raise your voice at me!"David realizes he has been wrong, he should have on no account spoken to her in such a manner."I am sorry," he apologized, Yvonne rolled her eyes crossing her arms on her chest. They haven't spent a week together after their reunion and they are quarreling."That girl..." she studied his unpleasant expression at her address of Isabella, well she was angry to

APOLOGY AND CONFLICTIsabella waited outside the gallery as she conversed with Erin over the phone, Erin called her immediately she got out of the taxi to report to her what happened."I am glad you are okay, do not watch his tantrums the next time he does that simply call the cops and have him lock up," Isabella instructed."Yes, I will do that. Thank you, Isabella," Isabella could hear Erin's smile over the phone."You are welcome, the lawyer said he scheduled a meeting this evening, meet with him to hasten the divorce process," she instructed and Erin nodded."Talk to you later," Isabella hung up and turned to find Yvonne standing outside the gallery and staring at her.She had not imagined what her day would be like with Yvonne around, luckily for her, she had lots of stuff to do at the company so she stayed up late and went to sleep afterward.She had no time to think or worry about David or Yvonne and it gave her peace that she had better things to do than have a series of quest
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Chapter 27
Isabella gasped repeatedly as she tried to get the painting off herself while Yvonne smirked watching her."Serves you right, all this could have been avoided if you just told me what you guys discussed," Yvonne glared at Isabella.Isabella cared a little about her attitude all she wanted was to get the stain off herself, Yvonne stared with much fury."What happened in here?" David asked walking in, he heard Yvonne's noise but assumed she was being dramatic.Isabella's voice jerked him. "Why are you both covered in paint?" He asked."She started it, she poured it on me first," Yvonne accused pointing at Isabella."What?" She gasped. "It was a mistake.""Don't lie, it was not a mistake you did it intentionally," Yvonne accused."I would never do that, it was a mistake that happened because of you. This would not have happened if you didn't follow me," Isabella replied."Oh stop the act!" Yvonne rolled her eyes and then turned to David. "She did it intentionally.""Oh, I have had enough

HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE A second chance, forgiveness and love prevails
A second chance, forgiveness and love prevailsTears began to come out of Yvonne's eyes and she began to shake her hand. "Doctor," Isabella called out.The doctor rushed into the room, quickly assessing the situation. He checked Yvonne's vital signs and nodded to Isabella with a reassuring smile. "She's coming around," he said. "You did the right thing by coming here."Isabella exhaled deeply, feeling a weight lift from her shoulders. She looked at Yvonne, who was beginning to stir. The doctor signaled for a nurse to assist and then gently asked Isabella to step outside for a moment while they attended to Yvonne.Outside the ward, Isabella leaned against the wall, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. David and Kiera, who had been waiting anxiously, approached her."How is she?" David asked, concern etched on his face."She's waking up," Isabella replied, her voice soft. "I think... I think she'll be okay."David wrapped an arm around Isabella, pulling her close. "You did a brave thing, g
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Captured
Captured"Yvonne, stop this madness!" Isabella shouted. "This isn’t what Chris would have wanted. Think of your daughter. Think of what you’re teaching her."Yvonne’s resistance wavered, and for a moment, it seemed as though she might relent. But then, with a surge of strength, she threw Isabella off and scrambled to her feet. Before Yvonne could do anything more, a voice rang out from the entrance of the garden."Freeze! Police!"A group of officers stormed into the garden, guns drawn. Yvonne's face fell as she realized her plan had been thwarted. The masked man tried to flee but was quickly apprehended by the officers.Isabella rushed to her daughter, enveloping her in a tight hug. Tears streamed down her face as she held her close, relief washing over her in waves. David, freed by one of the officers, joined them, wrapping his arms around both of them.Yvonne was restrained by the police, her face a mask of defeat and sorrow. She looked at Isabella, a mix of hatred and grief in her
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Tension
Tension Isabella arrived at the garden. She saw Yvonne there. "Excuse me. You were speaking to me? It felt abrupt all of a sudden," Isabella said, looking at Yvonne, whose back was turned to her. Yvonne slowly turned to face her. "Surprise," she said and laughed. "Thought you got rid of me?" "Yvonne? What are you doing here?" Isabella asked, nervously. "I'm here to surprise you, my dear. You guys succeeded in killing my husband and making me a widow and my daughter, fatherless. Guess, you forgot, an eye for an eye. Look over there," she said, pointing. Isabella followed her finger. She saw David tied up, down the garden. "How did you get my husband? Release my husband now, before I call the police on you.""Don't be stupid, Isabella. Did you think I came without a plan? They are bringing your daughter, now. The deal is, you can only save one person. There will be a timer. If the time runs out, one of them will die. Oh, that's her over there.""How dare you involve my child in th
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Yvonne returns.
Yvonne returns. "Just stay safe, Yvonne. And take care of that little girl.""I will," Yvonne promised, hugging her friend before leaving.With the passports in hand, Yvonne booked the next flight out of the country. She used a series of cash transactions to avoid any digital trails. She knew it was only a matter of time before the police caught up with her, and she couldn’t afford any mistakes.On the day of their flight, Yvonne felt a mix of fear and determination. She dressed Emily in simple clothes, making sure they looked as inconspicuous as possible. As they boarded the plane, she couldn’t help but glance around nervously, expecting to see police officers at any moment.But the flight went smoothly. As the plane took off, Yvonne held Emily’s hand, feeling a glimmer of hope for the first time in days. They were leaving behind a life of fear and uncertainty, heading towards a future where they could finally be free. Yvonne bursted out in laughter, in a loud evil laugh. Hours lat
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Away for a while.
Away for a while.Yvonne stepped out of the hospital, while the cool night air hit her like a wave, momentarily shocking her out of her grief. But it was quickly replaced by a seething rage that coursed through her veins. She pulled the hood of her sweatshirt over her head, determined to stay hidden as she walked through the city streets. She needed to think, to plan. She needed to make them pay.Her first stop was to collect their daughter, Emily, from her sister’s house. Emily had been staying there for the past few weeks while Chris was on the run. Yvonne’s sister, Melissa, was supportive but wary of Chris’s lifestyle, and Yvonne knew she’d have to be careful about how much she told her.Melissa answered the door, her face etched with concern. "Yvonne, what’s going on? I heard about Chris on the news. Are you okay?""No, I’m not," Yvonne said, her voice steady but cold. "Chris is dead. The police shot him."Melissa gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "Oh my God, I’m so sorry.""I

Lurking in the dark. "We have informations of Chris's whereabout. The Police officers are getting ready to invade, Chris's hideout. When we have a leak, we will let you know," Detective Martinez informed Isabella. "Thank you so much," Isabella said. "But, Chris is very cunny. What if he outsmarts the Police and escape, just like Yvonne did?""Well, all we plan is to arrest him and bring him into custody. When we catch him, we will hold him at gunpoint. If he tries to outsmart us, they will release fire at him," Detective Martinez explained. "Oh, alright. All I want is for him to be caught. He is a threat to our lives," Isabella said, eagerly. Detective Martinez nodded, his face serious but understanding. "We will do everything in our power to ensure he is apprehended and no longer a threat."Isabella watched as the detective left her home, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on her shoulders. Chris had been a constant menace, always one step ahead, and his cunning nature
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Unexpected
Unexpected They eventually reached David's line and told him everything. He said he was calling the police station, immediately. David suggested they returned to the building before the police officers arrive and rescue, Elvis's mum, Felicia. Isabella and Elvis went back to the building and***“We have to go Felicia. Your son is a strong and good man. At least he did the right thing,” Isabella said. Elvis couldn't escape with us. He was captured by Yvonne's men. But, the police officers had arrived and they were sending messages through their speakers, that the other men should drop their weapons and come out, before the invade the building. Isabella was worried about Elvis, but he had told her to get his family to safety and didn't care if he himself, died. Immediately, a gunshot went off. Isabella and Felicia panicked. “I heard a gunshot. What if it was him they shot?” Felicia asked, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Elvis has been nothing but a good and caring son. He cared

They arrived at the building. “Give me my child, Isabella said as she opened the door and rushed in.“Who are you? I can’t give you this child. This child has been put under my care by Yvonne.”Elvis got into the room at once. “Mom, please hand over the child to her. It’s her child.”“But this was never the plan,” mom said in awe.“I know mom, but you have to trust me. I want to do the right thing, mum.”“Yvonne will hurt us, if she finds out.”“Think mum. What if it was your child, mum? You are a mother. You should understand her pain,” Elvis said. “Let’s do the right thing. Trust me, I’ll protect you and our family. I won’t allow Yvonne to hurt us. Once we get them to safety. We will leave this state. I already made arrangements. And if anything happens to me, you and our family will still leave the states. Don’t worry mum. We have everything in control.”Isabella held her breath as she
HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Outsmarted
OutsmartedIsabella was able to free herself from the rope they had tied her up with. She waited for the right time to strike at Yvonne. “Don’t try to hurt my child. Don’t forget you have a child.”“Where is that toughness coming from?” Yvonne asked, as she walked close to me. What do you think you can do? Who is going to come for your rescue? No one. You are all alone in this. So stop acting like you got some back up. David won’t even save you. He has a lot on his mind. He doesn’t suspect I kidnapped you and your child. How then, do you think he would find you guys and rescue you? How do you think you’ll find my own child and get revenge? In your weird dreams.” She let out a mocking laugh.“Well, if anything happens to my daughter, I won’t rest till I get my revenge. An eye for an eye.”Yvonne laughed again. “You really have some guts, don’t you?”Isabella gave Elvis a sign, at once.Elvis understood the signal and subtly moved closer to Yvonne, ready to intervene if needed.
