Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 43
CHARLOTTE'S POVMy head spun wildly as I stared at Micheal in shock. My hand tightened around Owen's and he turned to look at me in alarm as he placed his hand on my cheek. “Are you okay, cupcake?” He asked worriedly and my eyes drifted back to his. My heart relaxed as I realized that I was already married to this romantic billionaire and that he was all I needed. “Can I talk to you for a second?” I asked as I got up and pulled him with me and he got up too. I held his hand and he followed me to the kitchen. “Is something wrong? You're acting strangely.”“Can we not hire him? I don't like how he looks. He looks scary and intimidating.” I lied as I pouted slightly and he chuckled, a look of relief settling on his face. “Cupcake, the scarier he looks, the safer you are. He wouldn't hurt you, he's here to protect you.”“But he looks terrifying!” I whined as my eyes drifted to Micheal and I could see him staring at me, his eyes boring holes into my body. Wait a minute… He made me cry

OWEN'S POVI sighed, devastated at the news I just got from Caleb as I walked back to the room. The company's revenues were dropping drastically. Father won't let me go to work and I can't fix anything from home. I need to have a talk with him as soon as possible. I opened the door to my room and was surprised when I saw the newly appointed bodyguard in the room with my wife. She looked flustered as she saw me, like she had been caught doing something bad. I raised my eyebrow at Micheal and he cleared his throat as he stood straight. “I heard her scream from outside, so I came to check in on her. She had missed her step and fell while trying to get out of bed. All I did was help her get up. I was on my way out when you came in.”I immediately walked over to Charlotte as I looked at her in worry. “Did you get hurt? Why did you get up? I told you to stay still till I'm back.”“I needed to use the bathroom.” She mumbled and she avoided my eyes as she spoke. I waved a hand to dismiss M

CHARLOTTE'S POVMichael's presence has made me nothing but uncomfortable. He always found ways to come close to me. Either by brushing his fingers over mine, walking extremely close to me so that our skins touch and even going as far placing a hand around my waist when no one's there.Owen has been a very romantic husband but he's been having less time for me recently. He's either buried in his laptop, or flipping through different files.I'm laying with my head on his lap right now and he's flipping through files that look so boring. I looked up at him and I fell for him again for the umpteenth time.He looked so attractive with glasses and his hair packed up into a ponytail. I pouted as I tried to get his attention but none of it was working.“You don't love me anymore.” I complained and he glanced at me for a while before returning his attention back to the files.“You're overreacting, Cupcake.” He replied and I folded my hands in annoyance. “I'm not overreacting! You love your pa

OWEN'S POVCharlotte has been acting weird since we left the house. She looked very majestic and ethereal, and it was evident that Roselia did great work on her but something was wrong. She kept avoiding eye contact, she wouldn't let me hold her hand and she kept fidgeting beside me. “Cupcake, I'll ask you this one more time. What is the matter? If you don't feel comfortable about going to the auction, we could make a u-turn right now.” “I said I was fine, Owen. I just feel a bit nervous.” “Then let me help with that.” I mumbled as I took her hands in mine and lifted it to my lips but she quickly pulled away from me as she cleared her throat. My expression turned sour and she turned to look outside the window. Did I do something wrong? “Are you mad at me, sweetie?” I asked, my voice dropping to a low rumble as I inched towards her and placed a hand on her waist. “I said everything is fine!” She snapped and I moved my hand immediately, hurt written all over my face. “I'm sorry.

CHARLOTTE'S POVMy entire body ached as I struggled to open my eyes. A dull throbbing in my head made it all worse and the harsh light made me shut my eyes immediately.I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly to adjust to the light and when I looked around, I realized I was in the hospital. How did I get here?My head throbbed harder as I remembered the incident that happened in the auction hall. Catherine had shown up from nowhere and injected me with something that was probably poisonous.That explains why I'm here. I tried to sit up and I felt someone else move on my bed. I turned to see Roselia sleeping peacefully with her head on the bed. I sat up finally and the movement seemed to wake her up and she jolted up when she saw that I was awake.“You're finally awake!” She looked happy as she held my hands in her and I smiled weakly at her.“Do you remember what happened?” She asked and I looked out the window to see that it was bright as day.“I remember sitting and waiting for whatev

OWEN'S POVEvery word that came out of my mouth felt like I was jabbing a knife into my heart but it had to be said. I have turned my room upside down in anger, cried myself to sleep and drank myself to stupor. Nothing works though as the pain always returns in full fold once I'm sober. Charlotte's eyes were fixed on mine, different emotions swirling through them but I was done caring.“Let's get a divorce, Charlotte.” I proposed and her eyes widened as she stared at me in shock. Of course I didn't mean that. Micheal would win if I did that. “Owen, you need to calm down. Let's settle this amicably-”“There's nothing to settle, Roselia. My wife said I didn't care about her. She said that Micheal cared about her more than I did. Can you explain to her who has been by her side the past week? My company is on the verge of collapsing but I gave it all up just to take care of her even though I knew about her ex-boyfriend.”Roselia let out a sad sigh and Charlotte just stared at me dumbfou

CHARLOTTE'S POVMy whole life crumbled right in front of me as his words shattered my heart. I stood there as I stared at the door, waiting for him to come back and tell me he was kidding. Rose came up to me and tried to take me back to the bed but I shrugged her hands off, my eyes glued to the door. He's definitely coming back. “Char-”“He was kidding, right? He- he just said that to teach me a lesson, right? He's gonna come back in and tell me he was kidding, right?” I asked as I looked at her and the look on her face told me that I was wrong. “Rose, tell me he's coming back! He loves me! He wouldn't marry Catherine, right?” I yelled as I started to lose grip of my consciousness. Rose's worried voice calling out to me was the last thing I heard before everything went blank. When I opened my eyes, it was dark and the room was empty. I sat up and called out for Rose but no one answered me. I burst into tears as fear gripped me and to make things worse, the door creaked open and s

OWEN'S POVThe doctor sitting across me stared at me like I was some alien from space and it almost made me laugh. I don't blame him, my request was… one of a kind.“Mr Owen, do you realize what you just asked me? You want to lose your memory?” He raised a brow at me and I nodded affirmatively.“Not everything, Doc. Just the memories of these last few weeks. I want to forget everything that happened from two weeks ago till now. Is that too much to ask?” I questioned as I leaned back on the chair, my eyes fixed on his.“Why do you want to lose your memory, Sir?” He inquired and I sighed, my heart hurting at the thought of what happened.“My wife hurt me and everytime I think about it, it hurts me. So I want to forget it.” I said and he nodded, he probably understood what I'm feeling.“Why don't you find other means to help yourself stop hurting?” He gave me a strange look and I raised a brow at him.“What ways? Drinking doesn't help. Crying doesn't make me feel better. What else can I

OWEN'S POVMonths had passed since my parents’ death and Caleb's cruel execution. One that he deserved. I couldn't help but remember him every now and then. The happy times we shared, the bliss and excitement that we experienced together… How could it all be a lie?“Snap out of it, Mister. The brides will be here any minute.” Ethan said as he helped me straighten my bow and suit and I rubbed my hands nervously.“Tell me the truth, Ethan, do I look good enough?” I whispered and he hit my shoulder as he fixed his bow too and stood beside me.“Don't you know that you have the limelight on you? I'm in the shadows here, Sir.” He said with a chuckle and I chuckled too as the priest walked up to the altar.“Can you believe it? We're both getting married on the same day to inseparable friends. This is called what, fate?” I mumbled and he shook his head in amusement as we turned to look at the entrance.“Damn it! The rings!” I exclaimed in horror and he slapped the back of my head as he took i

CHARLOTTE'S POVI took deep breaths as I stood in front of the beautiful gates and Owen took my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. I lifted my head to look at me and he had a small smile on his face as he rang the doorbell twice.We waited in silence, my breath held in nervousness and after a while, someone pulled the door open. I plastered a smile on my face and when the man looked at me then at Owen, a warm smile formed on his face as he opened the gate wide open for us to come in.I was surprised at how he treated us but then, who wouldn't treat Owen right, knowing who is? We walked inside hand in hand and the man guided us inside the house and told us to wait while he called his bosses.I glanced around and the beauty of the house took my breath away. It was magnificent and luxurious. It reminded me of how I felt when I first stepped into the Walkers’ house.“Are you okay?” Owen asked as he rubbed my hands gently and I nodded.“Just a bit nervous. That's all.” I said with a ner
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 170
CHARLOTTE'S POVI wasn't just nervous, I was panicking. The anxiety threatened to swallow me whole and sweat kept running down my face, ruining my makeup for the fifth time.“Char, come on! It's not even hot yet you're sweating so much. You know what, you don't need makeup. You're already so pretty on your own. Just stop being so nervous and scared. They're your parents, not God.” Rose said as she took out another wiper and started to wipe my face clean.I knew she was right but I couldn't help the fear that clawed at my throat, threatening to end me.“You don't get it, Rose. This isn't just anybody. These people are almost on par with Owen! How am I supposed to feel knowing that my biological parents are important figures in the country and I lived my whole life running from debt? Make it make sense, Rose!” I exclaimed in frustration as I collapsed into the chair.“We should have gotten this over with a month ago but they just had to leave the country at that time. Now they're back a

OWEN'S POVThe day was finally here. The day of judgment for Caleb.Charlotte and I stood hand in hand in the crowded courtroom, the tension in the air thick enough to slice through with a knife. My grip on her hand tightened and she looked at me with a reassuring smile.I turned and my eyes met Caleb's, who stood at the defendant's table with his expression showing that he was unbothered. He looked like he was ready to face whatever came his way, like he didn't care and none of this mattered to him.For a man who had caused me so much pain, he was very calm, which disturbed me greatly.I clenched my fist as the weight of everything he had done began to press down on me so much that it almost suffocated me.My parents... Charlotte’s parents... Beatrice… those innocent lives that he took. How could he stand there without a sign of remorse?The judge finally entered, and the room went silent. Everyone stood as we waited for him to take his seat. My heart pounded harshly in my chest as I
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 168
CHARLOTTE'S POVI stared at Owen in confusion and he ran a hand through his hair as he took a seat beside me and held my hands.“I'm serious. Caleb found out first, then Ethan found out and he told me. That's what we were discussing that day. I know it's hard to believe but I have evidence and proof. You are the legitimate and missing daughter of the Davies.” Owen explained and I just stared at him like he was cracking a joke.“Don't you think this is a very expensive joke? What do you mean by I'm the daughter of the Davies? Like ‘The Davies’. Are you trying to mess with me right now?” I asked in annoyance as I got off the bed and Owen sighed as he stood up with me.“He's right, Charlotte.” Ethan butted in and I glanced at him in confusion.“Hold on…this isn't a prank. You're actually serious about this.” I clarified and my heart sank when they nodded in affirmation.“How is this possible? I grew up with my parents. All my childhood memories that I can recall were with them. They neve

OWEN'S POV“What was it?” I asked in confusion and he sat up as he leaned towards me.“A bulletproof.” He replied and my brows creased in confusion. What did he mean by that?“What do you mean bulletproof? How would that have saved my life?” I asked and he let out a chuckle.“Well, it saved mine. Without a second thought, I went to the store room and grabbed the only one that was available there. I remember when you told your father that it wasn't needed and that he shouldn't get it. It eventually came in handy.”“I was supposed to take it to you so that you could escape unscathed but I was too late. He already held you at gunpoint so I had no choice but to wear it under my clothes and act as your bulletproof. The first shot actually hit me. Right here.” He pointed at his lower abdomen and my eyes widened in realization.“That's why there was blood everywhere and it made my fake death even more believable. The rest of the bullets bounced off and didn't touch me. I had no idea that Bea
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 166
OWEN'S POVI stood there in shock and confusion as I looked around for Ethan's dead body. Could Caleb have taken his body with him? But there was no sign of a bloody body being dragged on the floor.“Papa!” I heard Charlotte cry out as she saw my parents lying in each other's cold arms and I pulled her to me to stop her from moving forward.“Stop looking. They're probably happy where they are now. They died in each other's arms, that's probably what they wanted.” I said softly as I wiped the lone tear that trailed down my cheeks.“I need to find Ethan's body. He was just here when I left…” My voice trailed off when Roselia burst into a loud cry and crouched on the floor.“Where is he? At least let me tell him goodbye! What did you do to his body?” She yelled at no one in particular and my heart clenched in pain as I walked up to her side.I crouched down and hugged her to comfort her and I relaxed a bit when she wrapped her arms around me and wept like a child.I looked up at Charlott

OWEN'S POV“Ethan!”My eyes flung open in an instant and I groaned when I felt pain in my lower abdomen. I was alive. I made it out alive. But they didn't…“Owen! You're awake.” I heard Charlotte's voice call out to me and I turned my head to see her pretty face show up beside me and she held my hand tightly.“I told you I'll be fine. I always keep my promises, princess.” I said weakly with a faint smile and she helped me sit up, worry evident on her face as my face twisted in pain.“I have to go check on them… I need to see if they're really dead… I-”“No, Owen. You'll stay here and heal. I'll go and check up on them. I haven't told Rose anything about it yet. You have to rest.” She pleaded but I shook my head strongly.“We can't hide it from her forever. We have to tell her now.” I said.“Tell me what?” I heard Roselia say as she walked in with a basket of fruits and Charlotte had a look of panic on her face.“There's something I have to tell you,” I said as I struggled to stand up
Indebted To The Billionaire CHAPTER 164
CHARLOTTE'S POVI couldn't stop the tears from falling down my face as I watched my husband get wheeled into the operating room. He had held my hand firmly even though he was unconscious before the nurses detached our hands and took him in.I pulled my hair in despair as I sat down and stared at the floor. If what Caleb said was true, then that means… Ethan and Beatrice were dead. How would I tell this to Roselia?They were supposed to get married soon-I burst into tears as the thought of everything made my heart clench in pain. Caleb had been arrested by the police but it wasn't enough. He has to die too.My phone was shattered in Caleb's house and I had no way of reaching out to anyone. I couldn't leave the hospital since I had to be by Owen's side whenever he woke up.I knew Roselia's digits by heart but could I actually bring myself to call her? What would I tell her? How would I break the news to her?Would I tell her: “Oh, hey, your husband-to-be died while trying to save my hu
