HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE Chapter 38
David couldn't help but wonder why Isabella wasn't answering his call. Was she angry at him? Or was she in any trouble? He was about to call her again before a knock came on his door. "Who's that?" David asked. *It's me, Yvonne," she said aloud. "What do you want, Yvonne?" David asked. "Is everything okay? I just wanted to invite you to dinner," Yvonne said. David stood up and opened the door for Yvonne. "Thanks but I'm not hungry.""Or are you upset?" Yvonne asked, as David walked back to the bed and sat down. "Isabella is not answering my calls. I'm worried. I don't know if I have upset her," David explained. "You don't have to worry. Perhaps, she's busy. When she sees your call, she will call—"The ringtone of David's phone interrupted her. He glanced at it. It was Isabella. "Finally," he said, before answering the call. "Hello Isa, I've been calling.""I'm sorry. I was busy," Isabella said. "Busy with what? Is there a problem? Do you mind sharing it with me? I'm worried.""

And as they laughed and shared stories, their bond growing stronger with each passing moment, David couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events that had brought them together that evening. X X X "Isabella, I heard of a restaurant around here," Kim said, as Isabella drove. "A restaurant around?" Isabella asked. "Yes. You didn't know?" Kim asked. "No.""I think the name is La Trattoria. They sell the best pasta in town," Kim said. "You must have really heard a lot about the restaurant. Well, let's drive over there then," Isabella said. "Yay!" Kim said, throwing her fist up a little. "Don't be too excited Kim. I don't need people's attention from outside," Isabella said and laughed a little. "Okay, Isabella," Kim said. "Put on your seatbelt," Isabella said, increasing the speed. As Isabella and Kim drove towards La Trattoria, the anticipation built within Isabella. She browsed about the restaurant and saw good things about the restaurant, and

Crush on a cab manKim stopped a cab. She told him where she was going and got into the car. She was so worried about Isabella and wondered if Isabella was okay. "You look gloomy," the cab man said. "Do I?""Yes," the cab man said as he drove. "Is there a problem?""I came with my best friend to this new restaurant La Trattoria—""Sorry for the interruption. That's a very nice restaurant," the cab man said. "So, what happened?" "Then, I asked her to look at some couples enjoying themselves. I don't know.. some minutes later she said she wasn't feeling too well and said we had to leave. I just wonder if she is alright and driving home safely.""Well, I guess she is," the cab man said kindly. "My name's Henry Willis.""I'm Kim," she said, looking out of the window. "Do you want to go for a long drive with me?" Henry asked. "Would love to but I need to sleep," Kim said. "It's good for the mind," Henry suggested. "How long is it going to take?" Kim asked, hoping the long drive woul

David and Yvonne left the restaurant and headed to his car. "I had a lovely night, dear friend," Yvonne said, as he opened the door for her. "Thank you.""I should be the one thanking you. You suggested going to the restaurant and we did and had a great time," David said, watching her enter the car. "Have you and your girl spoken?" Yvonne asked. "I and Isabella haven't spoken yet. When we get home, I'll call her," David said, as he got into the car. "Put on your seatbelt ma'am."Yvonne smiled and did so. "I'm just so happy. It's been long since we went out and had so much fun."As David started the car and pulled out of the parking lot, Yvonne leaned back in her seat, a contented smile gracing her lips. "I'm glad we decided to do this," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "It's been too long since we've had a chance to catch up and enjoy each other's company."David nodded in agreement, glancing over at Yvonne with a fond expression. "Me too. You always know how to brighten my

"Have I upset you, Isa?" David asked. "No, you haven't," Isabella said. "I was asleep before you called. Can I go back to sleep now?""Alright, I'll call you in the morning," David said, a little bit worried. "You don't have to. Goodnight, David," she said and without letting him speak, she ended the call. X X XChris stared at the painting and gave out an evil laugh. No one would understand what game he was playing. Not David, not Isabella, not Jacob. He was so happy that he felt like drinking himself to stupor. "Bring me wine," he commanded. A lady brought him wine in a tray. "Drop it and take off your clothes," he commanded, as he walked to her. The lady obediently agreed. He smacked her butt and his hands reached for her breast. He squeezed on it. Then traced her hole. His finger played with it. She was wet. "Call my name," he whispered in her ear. "Mr Chris," she moaned as his fingers dipped inside of her. She let out moans. He laid her on his table and touched e

Surprise visit"Perhaps, we are both mistaking," Kim said, looking at Isabella. "Maybe he just took her out because she wanted him to. Remember that night, it was Yvonne clinging to David and not the other way around."Isabella stared at Kim worriedly. "Do you think I was too quick to judge them. Besides, Yvonne is David's best friend?""Yes, exactly. David doesn't seem to be the type to cheat on you," Kim made it clear to Isabella. "Well, you're right. How could I have thought otherwise. I let my jealousy cloud my sense of reasoning," Isabella said, letting her fingers rake her hair. "Well, it's not your fault Isabella. Anyone in your shoes would have done the same thing," Kim said. "So, what do you suggest I do now?" Isabella asked worriedly. "Should I call David?""I will suggest you go over to his place and see him," Kim said. "Yes, you're right," Isabella said, keeping the cup of tea on the table. "I should go to him right away. I even went as far as dismissing him yesterday,

A Toast To New Beginnings.Isabella and David sat in the cozy sitting room, bathed in the soft glow of the television. Their tranquil evening was interrupted by the click of the door. Turning in unison, they were greeted by the sight of Yvonne, balancing two bottles of wine in her hands with practiced ease."Hello, Isabella," Yvonne's voice rang out, filled with warmth and a hint of curiosity."Hello, Yvonne," Isabella replied, offering a friendly wave.Yvonne's gaze shifted between them, her eyes sparkling with interest. "What are you guys up to? Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to intrude," she added hastily.Isabella smiled reassuringly. "No intrusion at all. We were just enjoying a movie."Yvonne's lips curved into a mischievous grin as she brandished the wine bottles. "Well, I brought wine," she announced cheerfully.David, ever the gracious host, chimed in with genuine interest. "Did anything exciting happen today?"Yvonne's expression softened as she stepped further into the ro

Bridging bonds.Isabella stood up. "I want to use the restroom, guys. I'll be back soon," she said. David nodded. "You want me to come with you?" he teased. Isabella couldn't help but chuckle at David's teasing. "I'll be fine, David. No need to escort me," she called back with a playful wink.David grinned in response, enjoying their banter. "Just looking out for you, Isabella," he replied, his tone light.Meanwhile, Yvonne was completely engrossed in the movie, her emotions running high as the suspense unfolded on the screen.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
