“I’ll give you the best, unlimited s.ex of your life, if you can help me get out of this place.” The lie comes out of me so naturally.. Francesca chuckles. “You think I’m that desperate? S.ex isn’t the only thing that makes my world go ‘round.” “Sure,” I say, leaning onto the chair. “I heard that you can’t step foot in Europe, and that you have to fake your death too to save your gang’s a.ss.” Francesca’s face contorts in anger, but she has no words to deny what I’ve said. So I continue, “If you team up with me, I can use my influence and my father’s wealth to change your identity. I did that to my wife before and it worked incredibly for her.” Interest piques behind her eyes. “Now that I have to take a risk, s.ex is off the table. I want to be your equal instead,” I add. She laughs again. “Equal? Hell, no!” “Fine,” I say, standing up. “Then let your brother treat you as his own slave indefinitely.” Francesca flinches, but says no more. I walk out of her tent without looki
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 151: The Unknown Alliance Between Wise Men
Bang! The bullet barely licks my cheek and makes it bleed, before whooshing past me. “That’s a warning! I’ll kill you the next time you run away!” Francesca hisses as she hands the rifle to one of her men. I’ve escaped death several times before, so I’m not feeling even the slightest shiver of fear with her warning. Still, I must be more careful next time. Her men drag me inside her tent, and I’m too beaten up to fight back anymore. They then toss me on a bunk bed, making me moan in pain.Francesca crouches down beside me, and wipes my wounded cheek with a soaked towel. Once her men step out, she whispers menacingly into my ears, “I’ll give you your freedom, if you help me overthrow my brother and become the Boss of my gang.” “I’m so tired of living behind his shadows, always following his commands but never getting the credits I deserve.” Good! This is my perfect chance to take her brother’s role; controlling her! “First, I need to regain my connections from the powerful in
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 152: Touch Down, Italy!
Italy, at last! I have a strong inkling that this is where the Le Distruzioni has brought Hazel, and that we’ll finally meet again. Francesca and I book separate hotel rooms the moment we arrive. I thought it’s just to spend the night and rest, but it turns out that this is where she’ll keep me while doing things on her own. I’m not sure if Francesca is s.tupid or just careless for always leaving me behind. To avoid suspicion from the Italian authorities, she didn’t bring or contact any of his gang soldiers to guard me, which means I can just escape her anytime and tell the authorities about her. I head into her room where she’s already preparing to leave again. “I thought we're in this together?” I ask sharply. “Do you think I trust that you really wanna help me overthrow my brother? Of course not,” she answers with a hint of mockery in her tone. “You only wanna find out where your wife is. That’s why you wanna stick with me.” Anger flares through me. I clutch Francesca’s jaw
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 153: The Mission
HAZEL’S POV: My heart is brimming with joy and relief to finally see Marius well and alive. I know he’s into something to save me and get us back home to our sons, so I must help him in any way I can. Over the last few days, Giulia has been doing psychiatric therapy, which she refused to do before me. The women note the improvement on Giulia’s behavior; she’s happier and friendlier to them now than she was before. But when I ask the woman why can’t Giulia remember the face of her real daughter, and how come the real Francesca is still alive, none of them has the answer. Adriano emerges from the door while Giulia and I are watching a movie together. “Can we talk in private, Hazel?” he asks. Giulia doesn’t seem to mind, so Adriano and I head outside the theater room. Before Adriano can talk, I ask him first. “Since your sister isn’t really dead, why don’t you have her stay with your mother, instead of me?” Adriano doesn’t, or more likely, can’t answer. He has a heart of a
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 154: To Venice
I try reaching Marius through his email and social media account, but he’s not responding. I’m sure he has access to a phone now. So it’s either he’s being monitored all the time or he can only use a phone whenever he’s demanded to. I hide my cell phone underneath my piled up clothes, which are Francesca’s old clothes, inside my luggage. As I make my way downstairs, Giulia appears before me. “Please don’t die again,” she begs, apprehension on her face. I hug her. “I won’t.” … But it’s for my family, not for you. And I hope that I’ll never come back here again. I’m sorry, Giulia, and take care. Adriano and I, together with some of his gang members, drive towards the airport. Using Adriano’s private jet, in three hours, we land in Venice. The beauty of Venice makes me daydream of going back here one day as a tourist, not as a prisoner, with Marius and our sons beside me. Suddenly, Adriano leans into my ears, too close that I have to step back and glare at him. He doesn’t min
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 155: Husband and Wife
All hell breaks loose! Marius strikes Adriano’s cheek with his clenched fist, forcing Adriano to tumble backwards. He then safely pulls me behind him when Adriano’s men surround him with hands hovering over their guns. However, none can dare to pull their guns out. This exposes another weakness of their gang; they can’t do wherever they please in a public place. But, what will they do to us once it’s just us and them? Adriano stands up, his hand on his lips, wiping the blood and hiding the bruise. Then, security guards come rushing towards us. “Cosa è successo qui?” One of Adriano’s men talks to the security in Italian, while squeezing some cash into their palms. Adriano also motions for his men to relax, and so they do. But Marius is still enraged. The security guards sense that, and they ask him a question, only this time in English. “Anything we can do, signore?” Marius wraps his arm around my shoulders protectively and answers, “Yes, escort me and my wife to our hote
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 156: The Revelation of the Mission
The Venice Biennale exceeds my expectations. Talented artists and performers from around the world come together to showcase their talents. Bollywood, Hollywood and other foreign celebrities are also invited to attend. As much as I’d like to be fully mesmerized by the surroundings, I can’t coz I’m being watched by Adriano’s men, who are disguised as guests like me. The painting Salvatore Mundi of Leonardo Da Vinci is currently in auction. And to my surprise it is sold at a staggering prize of four hundred fifty US dollars to a Saudi Arabian prince.My heart thuds in anxiety, and I become hesitant to push through with the mission. There are Americans around who may be able to help me and Marius. But, the watchful gazes of Adriano’s men are stripping me of any courage to act.After the painting is placed in a secured-looking suitcase, it is brought towards one of the hallways. So I follow. Surprisingly, none of Adriano’s men follow me or the painting.One of the event guards stops
I Want A Divorce, Mr. Billionaire! CHAPTER 157: A Criminal Act
My heart thuds, fast and loud. Adriano and Francesca, together with their men, are inside their cars that are parked at a distance from the Central Pavilion. Their watchful gazes are highly-focused on me and Marius as we walk towards the entrance of the building. “Hazel, I’m not happy you put yourself in this situation instead of just trusting me,” Marius says. I bite my tongue. Arguing with him won’t make our situation any better. Marius uses a specialized device to open the front door. Once we’re inside, he holds my hand as we both walk extremely carefully to avoid any motion-and-sound-activated cameras, sensors and alarms. We studied the floor design layout of this building, which was given to us by Adriano, last night. And that helps since we manage to smoothly get to our target location even though it’s quite dark. Using the number combination Adriano gave us, we open the huge vault and take out the painting. There must be someone associated with the Biennale Festival w
