“Hi, It’s Eva. I hope that you can remember me?” I said as soon as the person that I called picked up. “Eva…Of course, I can, you are the lady that hired me to kill her husband, Mr. La’Vardo,” said Roger, who was the assassin that I hired previously. “Yes, that is correct. Roger, I have another job for you. Actually, I have two jobs for you” I said. “Hmmm, what are they?” he asked, sounding interested. “The first one is to get rid of a body for me, leave no traces behind! The second one is a bit more complicated” I smiled devilishly as I thought about my plan…
XANDER’S P.O.V
“Is Emma not coming down for dinner?” I asked, seeing her absent from the dinner table. “I don’t know, I haven’t seen her around today,” Cara said. “Kaish, can you please find out if Emma is coming down for dinner?” I sent Emma’s personal helper to bring her down for dinner or take dinner up to her…Whatever it was that Emma preferred. “Sir, Madam Emma is not in her room!” Kais

XANDER’S P.O.V “FIND MY SISTER!!! FIND HER NOW!!! RIGHT NOW!!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM? I AM ALEXANDER LA’VARDO, ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN EUROPE. IF MY SISTER IS NOT FOUND IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS THEN THE ENTIRE CITY WILL BE SHUT DOWN!!! I’LL MAKE SURE OF IT!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” I yelled at the top of my lungs at the men in charge of the teams which was set out to find my sister. My head dropped in the palm of my hands, it’s been three days since she was taken and I was frustrated, tired and angry but I was not giving up hope. “Calm down Xander” Cara tried to caress me. “Cara…look at these men. They don’t care. Not even a single bit of worry or concern in their eyes, Emma can be getting tortured right now and these FOOLS are not even close to finding her as yet. They don’t even have a lead Cara! It’s taking forever Cara and I’m so tired…I just want this nightmare to be over ” I said, my heartbroken, my stress levels at their highest. I wanted to cry, but I didn’t because s

XANDER’S P.O.V “Yes, inspector. I hope you have some good news. Did you find my sister?” I answered the phone with hope, receiving a call from one of the inspectors in charge of my sister’s case at 6 pm on a Sunday afternoon. “Sir, it’s better that we talk in person. Would you kindly meet the rescue team and me by the lake outside your mansion?” he asked and I could tell by the sound of his voice that something was definitely wrong. “Yes, I’ll be there soon” a dreadful feeling brewed inside of me as I ended the call. Taking Cara with me, we jumped into the car and reached the lake in less than 5 minutes. My tummy turned, my heart banged against my chest and sweat escaped my pores as I parked the car among the several other emergency vehicles which was that the scene. “Cara, I can’t do this. I have a really bad feeling about this. Where is Emma? I don’t see her Cara” I panicked. “Xander, we have to go and see what they have found. We might come back to the car with a

CARA’S P.O.V “Ms. Stone, where were you between 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday?” asked the inspector as he interrogated me. I was not nervous at all, even though this was the first time that I was in such a situation, I guess that I wasn’t nervous because I was not the only one who was here to be interrogated today. Everyone who worked and lived at the La’Vardo estate or even just had contact with Emma was here to be interrogated, including Xander even though he is the one who wanted it this way. Unfortunately, I was the first one, who was sitting on the ‘hot seat’. “I was at home inspector, at the estate” I answered his question. “Do you have any sources to confirm this?” he asked. “Yes, everyone and anyone from the mansion” I answered his question that sounded ridiculous. “Okay. How would you describe your relationship with Emma?” he asked. “Emma was my first friend at the La’Vardo mansion. She was kind, sweet and had one of the most beautiful souls and we became friends easily

XANDER’S P.O.V I sat in front of my fireplace, lost in the blazing fire that burnt brightly in front of me. ‘I should have protected her. What would my family think of me now? First I broke my relationships with them and the only person that stood by my side through it all is now dead’. I buried my face in my hands as I let out a deep long sigh of regret and pain. ‘It should have been me instead of Emma, Emma was filled with so much light and all I am filled with is darkness. The world doesn’t need me, however, the world definitely needs more good people like Emma. Why did this have to happen? Why does this keep on happening to me? It’s like I am cursed or something to never be happy for a long period of time. I couldn’t save Emma’ ‘Neither could I defend Cara today. I just stood and watch her being dragged away by the police. I feel useless, most probably because I am. I couldn’t save my marriage, I couldn’t save my sister and I couldn’t even save my Cara!!! W

XANDER’S P.O.V Today was the day of the funeral. Dresses in my suit and tie I politely as possible greeted everyone that came, even though my heart was shattered into a million pieces. ‘ Yesterday was the day when I found out that Cara murdered my sister and all my revenge turned into pain. Today was the day that I had to say goodbye to my sister and part ways with her forever. I’m truly alone in this world now. I don’t have a fiancé, I don’t have Cara, I don’t have anyone.’ I stood in front of the coffin lost in my thoughts. “Xander, how are you holding up?” I heard Zack’s voice, as he placed his hand on my shoulder, offering me support. “Zack…” I wanted to say more to him but I was afraid that if I did, then I won’t be able to maintain the lump which formed in my throat. “It’s okay Xander. There is nothing that we could have done. Whoever did this will face their Karma” he uttered comforting words as he gave me a brotherly hug. I hung on tightly to the brother that

XANDER’S P.O.V My nerves were jangling with the dragons in my tummy and I hoped that my ears were the only that which was red and showed the tension and stress which I was going through as I sat in the court of which Cara’s case was being dealt with today, journalist fed of my presence but I didn’t care, all I cared about is the ruling which would be made at the end of the day. I hired the best lawyer, thinking that the stress, anxiety and tension which I am experiencing now would be avoided but I was wrong, I felt all of these emotions and guilt lead them. “Mr.La’Vardo, don’t worry everything is going to be okay. We got this,” said Attorney Mucs, the attorney who I have hired to fight Cara’s case. “I will only be at peace after the case and that too depends on the outcome of today’s case. I wish you everything of the best. Both mine and Cara’s future is in your hands today. Without her I am nothing so please fight this case tooth and nail” I said to him. “I won’t let you do

XANDER’S P.O.V “Did she eat?” I asked Kaish. “No, I don’t even think that she touched her food, Sir. It looks the same like it did when I gave it to her” she answered. “I don’t know what to do Kaish. I really don’t know what to do. I tried talking to her but it’s like she’s deaf to my words. I did this to her. I broke her down” I sighed heavily as I buried my face into my hands, deeply regretting my stalling in getting her out sooner. “Well, what did you say when you tried talking to her?” Kaish asked, willing to help. “I apologized, I told her how silly I have been for letting her stay in jail for so long, I showed her how much I regretted it. I poured my heart out to her and told her that I would make everything better in a very convincing way, but all she did was sit there, her arms folded around her knees as she hugged herself, keeping herself close together as if she is still in danger and she has to protect herself from everyone that is around her, including me” I expl

LILY’S P.O.V “There is someone here to see you,” a prison warden came to take me out of my cell. There was so much of noise as I passed the other cells to get to the meeting room, there was shouting, foul language, banging, etc. This was not something I was used too and I dreaded every minute spent in here but I knew that I have to get used to it because I was sentenced to life imprisonment!!! “Eva” I got a little excited to see my sister. Taking a seat on the other side of the glass, I picked up the phone to talk to her. “Lily, what have you done?” she asked, pain clear in her voice. “Nothing Eva, I am here only for your crime” I explained. “I know Lily but why did you have to take the blame for me? You sacrificed your life for me Lily” she sounded upset, however, she seemed to be more upset with herself than with me. To be honest, she had no right to be upset with me. “That’s what sisters do Eva and you are the only family that I have. I wouldn’t have been able to

XANDER’S P.O.V“Sir, the entire city is on lockdown as you requested. She can’t escape now” Antonio reported. “Don’t be so sure Antonio…This is Eva that we are talking about. If she wants to escape she would find a way” I warned him. “You are right sir, but we have 200 police officers in the city looking for her. She would definitely be found and your baby would be safe” he said. “I really hope so Antonio. We don’t have much time, my baby is in a lot of danger. She was delivered at only 6 months and had to be in an incubator! She wasn’t even supposed to even be in contact with anyone or anything because her immune system is still so weak! But now she is out there, in the big world which is filled with sicknesses, viruses, and germs…my little princess is in so much danger! She is so helpless! And so vulnerable!” I buried my head in my hands, exhaustion, and stress taking over me. I didn

XANDER’S P.O.V“I’ll make a donation of 1 million dollars which must be split equally amongst the doctors and nurses who were in surgery yesterday,” I said to the head of the hospital. “Mr. La’Vardo, that is very generous of you, but the doctors and nurses were merely only doing their job.” He said with gratitude. “They have both my wife and baby…my wife flat-lined and they brought her back for me, my child was turning blue yet they made sure that she would not take her last breathe…1 million dollars is not even sufficient for what they have done for me! They did not only save my wife and child yesterday but by saving them they saved me as well! In fact, I think I am going to change that donation into 3 million dollars, 1 million for each life that they saved” I said. “You are very kind Mr.La’Vardo but as I mentioned earlier, a donation is not necessary” the old head of the hospital said. &l
THE SECOND WIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 50: FIGHT CARA
XANDER’S P.O.VThe past five months have been wonderful, it felt as if we have not returned from honeymoon. Each day that passed we fell more and more in love and as the love between us grew, so did Cara’s belly with our baby safe inside of it…Oh, and she glowed, becoming the most beautiful pregnant woman that I have ever seen.Our lives have been peaceful ever since Eva and Susanna fled to Asia and we were living in harmony. Every morning we had breakfast together and every afternoon we would either have dinner in our garden or the balcony. Our lives were filled with romance and undying love. I know of many love stories like the one which my parents shared or Emma’s incomplete and tragic love story but the one shared between Cara and I, is my favorite.I laid in bed, the sound of rain, played a lullaby. I turned over to my beautiful Cara who was sound asleep next to me. The moonlight reflected on her face. Suddenly there was a roar of t
THE SECOND WIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 49: OVERPROTECTIVE
CARA’S P.O.V“It has been a week since you put us on lockdown Xander! You have more than a 100 men then guarding the two of us in this house, not to mention you following me anywhere that I go, even if it’s the bathroom with your 2 loaded guns in your pockets. The police force has searched the entire city, Eva and her mother were nowhere to be sported. I’m sure that they are smart enough not to come here. Don’t you think that we can ease up a little? ” I tried to talk Xander in giving me some space to breathe because honestly, all this security is beginning to make me feel like I’m about to suffocate.“No Cara…take that thought out of your head because as soon as we let our guard down is when she will attack. I know her well enough to know the way she works and she plays these games with you. She would make you think that everything is okay and then when you least expect it, she makes the strike, knocking you down!
THE SECOND WIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 48: THE GREAT ESCAPE
EVA’S P.O.V“You have a visitor,” the nurse said and took me out of my glass cell, she escorted me to the meeting room without removing the extremely uncomfortable straight jacket that I was in. Did I really belong here? If I spent any more time in here then I would definitely lose my mind. “YOU?” the blood drained from my face when I saw who the person was. “You messed up Eva!” she said, the deadly calmness in the voice, bought back the fear which I usually had in her presence. “But what are you doing here? You shouldn’t be in public. What if someone recognizes you!” I said, still shocked to see her. “I had to come out of hiding, who else would save you from this mess that you have created? You managed to get your sister behind bars, serving life imprisonment and yourself stuck in a mental asylum!!! You are so useless Eva, you had one simple task to do!!! Just 1 task but you managed to fail 10 times! Onl

CARA’S P.O.V“Xander, you are the one who said that we should not keep secrets from one another. So can you please stop contradicting yourself and tell me what is going on? I can see the tension that you are feeling. It’s not only clear in your eyes but also in your body language” I begged him for an answer like I have been doing for the past half an hour. Everything was happening so fast, all I know is that we were at the beach sipping on juices and Martini’s, well I had a juice because the little one growing inside of me would not like a Martini very much, but Xander had a Martini…however now we are on our private jet, heading back home, our honeymoon cut short and I needed to know why!!! “Don’t worry about it Cara, it’s nothing really.” He tried to assure me but I was not ready to give up as yet. “Xander our honeymoon was cut short! You rushed me to pack my belongings in the middle of the night! You drove a

XANDER’S P.O.VFrom star gazing to watching the sunrise, white sands and blue water, little islands and lagoons…spending these past 3 days on honeymoon at Phuket with Cara has been nothing less than amazing and we have 4 more days together in this heavenly paradise, just the two of us, away from everything and everyone.“Beautiful isn’t it?” Cara broke the silence between us as we relaxed on the beach, soaking up the sun. “Oh yes, you are!” I said, making her laugh. “Not me silly. I’m talking about the view in front of us” she said. “Not as beautiful as you” I flirted. “Hmm, Mr. Charming are you trying to flatter me?” she played along. “and what on Earth would make you think that? I speak nothing but the truth. In my eyes, no other beauty can compare to yours. The 7 wonders of the world are still trying to compete with you” I said, flirting and complimenting her. “Spe

(THREE WEEKS LATER) CARA’S P.O.V It felt as if there is a tornado in my tummy as I listened to the silence, suddenly a sweet melody filled my ears and I knew that it was my queue to go. The doors in front of me opened widely, I let out a heavy sigh of nervousness, and then I began to walk through the indoor garden. The pure, innocent, fresh, and soft white roses that decorated the aisles on either side of me, matched the pureness, innocence, and softness of my dress. From white to gold, it hugged onto my body on top, showing off my petite figure as it flowed freely from my hips going down, spreading like the foam from the ocean onto the floor as each dazzling layer danced around me with every step that I took. The music, the dim lights, the lanterns, the roses…all of it made my heart beat a little faster with excitement, happiness, and love. There were a thousand eyes on me, watching my every movement but all my nervousness which I felt not so long ago vanish
THE SECOND WIFE OF A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 44: WAKING UP IN PARADISE
CARA’S P.O.V *Beep (pause) *beep (pause)*beep, I heard my lifeline as I was pulled back into consciousness. Blinking my eyes until I could see clearly, I saw Xander, with the biggest and broadest smile on his face, my right hand, held gentle but warmly in between both of his. “Hi,” he muttered the smile still on his face. “Hi,” I muttered back to him and groaned in discomfort due to being in the same position for so long. “You took quite a fall there; I counted my lucky stars that you fell straight into the water and we were there just in time to save you. However, you were hit on the head, so if you feel light-headed or experience a different insight, etc then please let me know” he explained. “Yes, Doc.” I teased him. “Speaking about a Doctor, I should probably call him,” he said, moving out of the seat which he was on, next to my bed. “No! Wait! I’m okay, you can get the doctor just now. Let’s talk…I missed you” I said, stopping him. “I missed you more…I thought tha
