THE BILLIONAIRE'S CAPTIVE CHAPTER 82
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

Somehow today, Letta felt incredibly awkward when she opened the shop with Sean, just the two of them. Letta hadn't even said a word when they crossed paths from the house to the shop, and neither had Sean. But looking at his expression, Sean seemed unaffected, whereas Letta still appeared uneasy. Letta immediately pictured how she had spent the previous night with Sean."If you keep daydreaming like that, the fried chicken in front of you might come back to life and attack your face with its hot oil," Sean said, causing Letta to startle, blinking at her nearly brown fried chicken. This made Letta quickly move to lift it."Forgive me," Letta said, as Sean took over the frying pan and shifted, prompting Letta to step back from the frying area."You better just chop the seasonings, I'll fry the chicken," Sean said, making Letta nod. They were now facing away from each other, with Sean occasionally glancing at Letta's small figure."Do you feel awkward around me?" Sean asked again, causi

Letta halted her hand as she was about to take the shop keys."We don't need to open the shop today," Sean said, making Letta furrow her brow."Why? It's okay, I can open it myself while waiting for Meri to come," Letta said, making Sean shake his head."It seems like Mom will come tomorrow, and today we'll take a day off. Besides, I might be a little late coming back from work," Sean said again, making Letta fall silent for a moment."It's okay, it's a shame if the shop is closed today," Letta said again."I'm sure Mom has savings, so she won't lose out if the shop doesn't open for one more day. Besides, the ingredients are running low, we need to go shopping first. So it's better to wait for Mom to come back tomorrow," Sean said, making Letta finally nod."I don't know what to do if we don't open the shop," Letta said, making Sean pause for a moment."Just stay at home. You can watch TV, read a book, or do whatever you like," Sean said, making Letta let out a long sigh."Alright, th

Letta was startled as someone shook her shoulder firmly, making her realize that she had suddenly fallen asleep. Letta lowered her head and looked at Sean, who was looking at her with raised eyebrows."Sorry, I woke you up like that because you didn't wake up when I called you," Sean said, making Letta try to gather her senses before nodding. Letta remembered her phone, but Sean suddenly grabbed her wrist, surprising Letta. "Do you want to say something?" Sean asked, making Letta nod her head."Can you postpone it? I only have a little time, so it's better to follow my lead, and you can say anything when we get to the place I meant this morning," Sean said, making Letta about to open her mouth, but Sean suddenly stopped her. "I haven't even washed my face," Letta said, but Sean seemed not to hear and took Letta's hand to run. They ran to one of the tall buildings that seemed unfinished. Sean took Letta inside the building."Where are you taking me? Isn't this an unfinished building? W

Pedro stopped outside Marco's office upon hearing his master's shouts, berating some guards who seemed to be inside. The door eventually swung open, revealing the guards walking with their heads bowed. Behind them, another guard was assisting his bruised companion. It seemed that his master was venting his anger on his subordinates. This prompted Pedro to enter to meet Marco."Sir," Pedro said, bowing respectfully to Marco, who was now standing facing away."If you still haven't received news like them, it's better for you to leave my office," Marco said, making Pedro look around. His desk was no longer neat, and even the jacket Marco was wearing was still lying like the day before. It seemed Marco hadn't left his office and was continually searching for Letta. Pedro also didn't know if Marco was eating properly, as Marco had said he should not be disturbed unless he received news from Letta."I have been able to trace Miss Letta's phone," Pedro said, making Marco turn around."Then,

Letta truly poured out all her fear and sadness in Sean's embrace, who now held her tightly. The strokes on her back seemed to comfort Letta, making her cry even more. Until now, Letta had never been able to express any of the pain she felt to anyone. Sean's embrace seemed to give Letta something she had needed all this time: someone who could listen to her and share her feelings. Letta was truly sobbing when the embrace suddenly unraveled.Letta could see someone pulling Sean's body forcefully and throwing him against the wall covered in gravel. With her eyes blurred by tears, Letta could clearly see a man with a very distinct aura and a familiar scent. Letta could recognize who the man was. Letta took a step back, covering her mouth. Letta couldn't believe that Marco had found her this quickly."What are you doing? Who are you, you scoundrel?" Sean shouted, starting to rise to his feet again. But before Sean could stand, Marco kicked his shoulder, causing Sean to fall back down. Aft

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
