THE BILLIONAIRE'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 77
Letta fell silent, feeling the wind now blowing across her face. She could finally sense how liberating it was and how the tightness had vanished. It was as if Letta could breathe freely again, as if she didn't need to worry just to inhale the air around her. Finally, a pat on her shoulder brought her back to reality, and Letta turned around. "Where are you going? What's your destination?" asked a middle-aged woman she met at the fish market. The woman was willing to help her. "I don't know yet. I don't have a destination," Letta replied, making the middle-aged woman look at her with a sad gaze. "Do you have any family?" the woman asked. Letta shook her head. "Then why did you leave if you don't have a destination?" the middle-aged woman asked again. Now she was sitting beside Letta. Currently, Letta was on a small boat heading towards a city. She chose this route so that Marco's men couldn't find her. "I am a victim of a crime. I was robbed and held captive for several days. I d

Letta then sat up, getting out of her bed, feeling as though a gun had actually pierced her head. However, Letta was slightly relieved to realize that it was just a nightmare she had experienced. Letta began to steady her racing breath, sweat dampening the sides of her face, and she could only squeeze her eyes shut tightly.Letta didn't expect to be haunted by Marco like that. Would he do as her dream had shown if he really found her this time, Letta wondered. She then snapped out of her thoughts when the door to her room opened. "Are you awake?" Meri asked, smiling at Letta, making Letta nod her head."Okay, then get ready. We're going to the shop," Meri said, prompting Letta to rush to the bathroom first to freshen up.Letta walked with Meri, carrying some shopping items towards a shop. After a fifteen-minute walk, they finally arrived at a Fried Chicken shop, and Meri opened it immediately."I usually open from 4 pm to 11 pm. Usually, after 7 pm, my son will help me in this shop,"

Marco remained silent, gazing blankly at his desk, not even touching the files and emails he should have been working on, making Pedro hesitant to disturb his boss."How far have you gone in searching for her?" Marco asked without looking at Pedro."We have searched in the nearby cities, but there's been no result as Miss Letta left no trace at all," Pedro replied, as the team he had deployed to find Letta was still struggling to locate her. "Haven't you found any trace of her at all?" Marco asked again, causing Pedro to fall silent once more."One of our team members found a trace along the river, but we still couldn't find her because of the heavy rain last night, causing the river to overflow and wash away any trace of Miss Letta," Pedro said, causing Marco to then gaze sharply in his direction."Come on, Pedro, you've never failed in any task I've given you before. So, are you going to fail just because of that woman? I want her found," Marco said with his cold aura, making Pedro

Letta immediately got up from her bed, looking at the sunlight that had now entered through the gap in her bedroom window. This made Letta smile as she saw the clock on the bedside table showing six in the morning. These past few days, Letta's life had felt more orderly. She woke up feeling refreshed, had a sound sleep, and immediately engaged in activities that somewhat comforted her.Letta quickly cleaned herself up and went out to see Meri, who was getting ready to go to the market."Can I come along?" Letta asked, causing Meri to stop and look at her."Are you sure you want to come? Doesn't the sea journey take a few hours? I'll be shopping a lot there because I'm going to my hometown tomorrow. So I need to buy more than usual," Meri said, making Letta nod. "That's why I want to come. Won't it be quicker if we both shop together? Besides, you'll surely need someone to help you, right?" Letta said, making Meri smile."Alright, then get ready. We'll be leaving soon," Meri said, maki

Letta gazed at Sean, who was currently helping to load his mother's belongings onto the bus, then turned to look at Meri beside her."If you're tired, you don't have to force yourself. Working at restaurant can be a bit challenging," said Meri, causing Letta to shake her head."It's okay, I can handle it. Besides, didn't I say that it's not a problem if the restaurant is covered?" Letta replied, making Meri smile while holding Letta's hand. "Thank you for helping," said Meri."Thank you too for accommodating me," Letta replied."Alright, the bus is ready to leave. I promise it won't be long, just two or three days. Take care, okay, and remember, if Sean leaves you alone, it's better to just close the restaurant, okay?" warned Meri, making Letta nod. Letta then looked at Meri, who was now boarding the bus. Meri immediately opened the bus window and looked at Sean."Never leave Letta to run the Chicken shop by herself. You should help her too, instead of sleeping all weekend. You unders

Sean finally attempted to turn on the phone. However, as he was about to tamper with it, he immediately shook his head. It was an invasion of someone else's privacy, making him consider turning off the phone. However, the phone vibrated a few times. There were several incoming messages and missed calls. Sean wasn't sure whether he should open the messages or not. Nevertheless, Sean promptly deactivated the phone and hurried back to the shop. There, Letta must have already had some customers.Sean walked quickly and, true enough, there were two more additional customers waiting for their food. This made Sean rush to the kitchen to see Letta, who seemed a bit overwhelmed."Sorry, I took a little long," Sean said, making Letta nod her head."It's okay, I managed to serve them. But I'm not really good at frying the chicken yet," Letta said with a slightly awkward smile, making Sean step towards the fried chicken behind her. The color of the chicken looked a little browner, but for Sean, t

Sean could still clearly see the expression of fear and worry emanating from Letta's face. This made Sean sigh deeply."Let it go, maybe you don't want to go back to your hometown. It's okay. You don't need to answer my question," Sean said, making Letta look up and then smile faintly as she gazed at Sean, who was sipping his cold drink in front of her. "Alright, then let's just finish everything. Tomorrow we have to reopen the shop until my mother returns. But if you're tired, you can go back home first," Sean said again, making Letta shake her head."No need, I can help you," Letta said, finally tidying up the shop before walking back home."I heard there's a dessert shop at the end of the street that just opened and is popular with visitors. If you want, I can treat you there. Maybe you need some sweet food?" Sean suddenly asked as they walked halfway from their shop, making Letta stop in her tracks, as did Sean, who was now looking at Letta with his neutral gaze."You're treating

For a moment, they fell silent, gazing at each other. Sean now looked at Letta with a blank expression, while Letta looked at Sean with a questioning look."Thank you for liking me," Letta said, finally able to utter only that sentence. After that, Letta fell silent again, blinking her eyes."Well, at first, I said I was suspicious of you, but throughout the day, I really couldn't take my eyes off you. Is that really what they call a liking?" Sean asked again, making Letta shake her head. "I don't know," Letta answered."Have you ever liked someone before or felt something like what I'm feeling right now?" Sean asked, making Letta fall silent. What immediately came to her mind was how when she had such deep love for Abian. Making Letta smile as she walked, followed by Sean."Yes, I have felt a liking, maybe love. I never wanted to take my eyes off him when we were together, and I always missed him and wanted to meet him when we were apart. I was always nervous waiting for his messages

Letta's eyes lit up as she looked at the package addressed to her. In contrast, Marco's gaze turned sharp, seemingly indicating that Pedro knew about it from the look on his master's face. "Who accompanied it?" Pedro asked."Sorry, we received it from someone at the hospital. The staff said it was meant for the lady's room," the guard replied, prompting Pedro to approach. He then took the greeting card attached to the bouquet. Pedro opened it, and as usual, it was just a message without any sender's name, causing Pedro to walk straight to Marco and hand it to him. It was then that Marco clenched his jaw, crushing the greeting card, causing Letta to touch her husband's wrist."Could this be from the same sender who always sends items to our house?" Letta asked, causing Marco to try to contain his emotions and let out a long breath."Seems like it," Marco replied."Doesn't that mean he also knows that we're not at home and we're in Chicago?" Letta said, making Marco nod his head again,

Marco furrowed his brow as he saw tears wetting his wife's face. Yes, Letta was now sleeping right next to his bed, prompting Marco to slowly reach out and gently stroke Letta's face. This made Letta slowly furrow her brow and try to open her eyes, and it was then that Letta jerked when she saw Marco had awakened from his sleep."You're awake?" Letta asked, slightly sitting up, making Marco, who still felt weak, nod."How are you feeling? Does anything hurt?" Letta asked again, making Marco shake his head. And in the next moment, Marco could see Letta, who could not contain her tears wetting her face."Thank goodness," Letta said, crying softly, making Marco unable to pull Letta closer."Don't cry, please," Marco said, his voice still weak."I'm just scared," Letta said, her body shaking violently, as if the sadness could not be contained any longer."I'm really scared, I'm scared that you won't open your eyes again," Letta said, truly sobbing by Marco's side, making Marco struggle to

Letta immediately opened her eyes wide. She woke up with a fearful expression, then looked around, trying to focus her gaze. The smell of medicine immediately permeated her sense of smell, making Letta realize that she was currently inside a hospital. However, her last memory made Letta jerk and sit up straight.Letta looked at her wrist, which had an IV tube attached. Then she glanced at the clothes she was wearing, realizing she was dressed as a patient. The room was quiet, with no one accompanying her, and the one person that now flashed in her memory was the condition of her husband, which prompted Letta to forcibly remove the IV tube and get off the bed, walking unsteadily because her head still felt heavy.Letta tried to leave the room, and there were four guards standing in front of her door."Madam, are you awake?" one of them asked, making Letta nod her head."Where is Marco?" Letta asked, making them look at each other."The master is still unconscious," one of them replied.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 158
Marco and Letta, now on either side of Marco, tried to support their husband."Marco, can you hear me?" Letta asked, making Marco smile at his wife."Yes, I can still hear your voice. Thank you for holding on," Marco said, still staggering and hugging Letta. Meanwhile, he only clung to Pedro because his steps seemed to be getting heavier, especially with his head beginning to feel dizzy, making Marco try his best to maintain his consciousness so that Letta wouldn't worry about him.Until finally, a shout from behind them made Marco turn around. When he saw Lemos cursing them, "You damn scum, die now in hell!" Lemos shouted, pulling out the gun in his hand. This made Letta widen her eyes. Letta immediately hugged Marco to block the shot Lemos was about to give. But quickly, Marco reversed the position when the shot was aimed at them. Until finally, the shot only hit Marco's back, making Letta widen her eyes when Marco coughed up blood as their bodies collapsed."Pedro, quickly capture
THE BILLIONAIRE'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 157
Letta could only cry as she watched Lemos gaze at her with a hungry look."Turns out, besides your scent truly making my body react, your body is truly captivating, even though you're pregnant like this. Alright, let's start with your face. I'm really curious how it feels to touch your skin, which feels so soft to the surface of my skin. I can't wait to do it," Lemos said, making Letta shake her head. Letta felt her body trembling, especially the coldness of the room now piercing her skin, allowing her to feel Lemos starting to reach out his hand and wipe her tears from her face."I don't want you to cry again, because I will truly treat you well, even after the bad behavior you just displayed towards me," Lemos said, making Letta sob."Please, release Marco first," Letta said, making Lemos shake his head."Yes, I will release him after we do something," Lemos said, and the next moment, Letta could see Lemos's hand starting to descend to the nape of her neck, caressing it with his rep
THE BILLIONAIRE'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 156
Marco could only squirm in his restraints as he watched Lemos slowly approach Letta, who was now just as helpless as he was, with her hands and feet bound, causing her to shed tears."If you come any closer, I will truly destroy you, you bastard!" Marco shouted, seemingly ignored by Lemos. Marco's current threat was nothing more than an empty bluff ringing in Lemos' ears. Lemos instead flashed a contemptuous smile, finding Marco's escalating rage to be nothing but entertainment."Please, don't come closer," Letta said in a whisper."Didn't you beg earlier not to hurt your husband?" Lemos said, already standing right in front of Letta, causing Letta to only close her eyes, unable to bear the sight of the old man in front of her. Just seeing him made Letta feel nauseated. "And in return, if you want me to release your husband, you must be willing to do anything for me, do you understand?" Lemos said again with his repulsive smile in front of Letta. Especially when Lemos began reaching o

Letta could only cry and plead as the person who was now repeatedly striking Marco's body did not stop his movements. "Please, stop. I'll do anything as long as you stop hurting my husband," Letta said, making the guard stop his movements. "No, no, Letta. Don't say such silly things. Let him do whatever he wants to me, but not to you. You just need to stay quiet. I'm fine," Marco said, visibly gritting his teeth, looking at Letta, who shook her head."How can I stay calm and okay when you're being beaten like that? Look at your body, it really makes me feel so guilty," Letta said."I'm fine, Letta. I'm not as weak as you think. Let these people exhaust themselves just to hurt me. It won't mean anything to me," Marco said again, making the middle-aged man who was the boss of these guards laugh, then walk towards Letta."Is it true what I hear? It seems that physical blows won't make a man like Marco Jovanka feel hurt, and it seems I have a good idea," Lemos said, looking closely at Let

Letta began to blink her eyes, trying to focus her vision, but instead, she felt a pounding sensation in her head, causing her to try to sit up and hold her head, wincing in pain."What's happening to me?" Letta muttered, still trying to look around. There was a very bright light in the middle of the room. Letta could also feel the cold temperature searing her skin. Finally, her vision became clear, and Letta widened her eyes. Letta didn't recognize the very dark room."Where am I?" Letta asked, trying to recall the last time she was conscious. Letta vividly remembered enjoying the waterfall with Marco, and afterward, Marco instructed someone to take her away. And that's when Letta widened her eyes upon realizing she was in danger. Letta knew that the guards were not Marco's guards. Letta tried to get off the very hard bed, then walked to knock on the iron door, which seemed to be a confinement room."Please open up! Get me out of here!" Letta yelled, continuously pounding on the door
THE BILLIONAIRE'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 153
A short while ago, Letta was still admiring the beauty of the dancing waterfall in front of her when a tap made her turn around and smile, but the smile faded. When someone in all black bowed in front of her, Letta thought it was Marco coming to take his coat and scarf."Sorry, ma'am, the master asked me to escort you to the car because he said you both must return immediately as he has an urgent matter to attend to," the guard with the black glasses perched on his nose said. "Why didn't Marco come to pick me up himself?" Letta asked."Sorry, ma'am, the master is on the phone and he's afraid to leave you for too long, so he instructed me to come and get you quickly, as he's concerned that something dangerous might be lurking around," the guard explained, making Letta finally nod."Okay, then let's go back," Letta said, but as Letta was about to take the path they had previously taken, the guard stopped her again."The master has already driven his car and will be waiting at the end of
