The Billionaire’s Bartered Bride Chapter 173
Rafael closed from work and went home, he was much too tired to do anything else than go to sleep, he should have talked better with Nicole but she had been so stubborn it was her safety he was talking about they she had told him to mind his business, that had hurt more than anything and he regret everything that he said to her, yes, she was right for blaming him, this was all his fault, if didn't have so many people trying to bring him down then Nicole won't have had to face what she was facing, it was his fault, if staying away from her would fix that then he would, the caller has not called him back and his security officer told him earlier that the number was untraceable, he was scared, scared for Nicole but like she also said, she was from an influencial family and her house is protected so the extra security might not be needed, but what he couldn't look pass was that there weren't much security at her work place and there wasn't any at the damn studio she always visits, what if

"You can sleep bro, I will wake you up when we get to their mansion,"Aron said, Rafael shook his head, he shouldn't be sleepy, not when Nicole and her twin were out there somewhere, thinking about how scared they must be, he won't get anything done by sleeping."Don't worry, I can manage, I wasn't about to fall asleep so I took some pills, now I wish I didn't, how long till we get the Evans mansion?""Less than ten minutes,"Aron replied and they continued in silence when they finally arrived at the mansion, they were security men at the entrance, they allowed them to pass through and Nicole's mom came running to them."Do you guys have any news about my kids?"She asked almost in tears, he hasn't been in the same room with her for almost a year now, and the first time he does, it was because he let her daughters be in danger."Not yet, ma,"Aron replied, they seem to be close as he hugged her, and held her, he looked out of place and shook off the thoughts, he had pressing things to

Nicole looked around in fear, it took forever for them to get here and when they finally did, they had brought her to this room and left her here, still blindfolded, but they later came back and removed her blindfolded, but still left her hands tied, she was alone in the room and no sight of Natie, she had been right, they didn't have her they just used it to get her to comply easily.The door opened and the younger of the two men came in"You are still awake? Good, your sister is here, so you guys can keep each other company until your fate is decided,"He said and went out, when he came back he was carrying Natalie who was unconscious."What did you do to her? What happened to her?"She asked in fear, she looked so lifeless."Well, she wasn't as comparative as you were so she had to be drugged, it will wear off, get some rest,"The guy said, he didn't look like he was a bad person but he was doing this which means he was a bad person"Why are you doing this? Why?"She sobbed."This

"Your husband is going to do all the work that is needed to get you both back, whichever one of you is the wife, or ex-wife, I don't care, if he does things right then you might gain your freedom but if he doesn't, then apologizes to your parents because they haven't done a thing to me, but I can't say the same for Rafael, he ruined my life,"The man said, he looked oddly familiar, but She couldn't remember where it was when she had met him but she knew she had met him before."What do you mean by Rafael ruin your life? He can't do that,""Is that what he told you? I am guessing you are the wife since you are the one trying to defend him, let's hope the man you are defending values you enough to come to your rescue, he has to I can't lose like that,""Who are you? What did Rafael do to you? Why are you doing this?""You really don't know what your man did? You don't know? I am pretty sure you are already married to him before he turned against me and made me lose everything I worked f

Rafael had a crappy night and was awake the next morning, looking like a walking dead, he should have known Leonard would pull a stunt like this, he should have seen it coming but he hadn't thought Leonard would pull the stunt on him, why didn't he think of that knowing that Leonard had a grudge against him for being the main reason his evil deeds were found out, now Nicole would suffer the consequences of his actions, not just her but her sister too, he was going to meet up with their parents this morning again and he still didn't know how to face them, he had spent the whole of yesterday finding any possible means of knowing their whereabouts but nothing, there was no call from the kidnaper either, it was just quiet everywhere yet so loud, the police were on it, but still no lead, the prime suspect still remind Leonard but no one knew where he was, his wife and family members all swore they haven't seen him since he supposedly ran off from prison, Rafael didn't trust them at all and

"Baby? What baby?"He asked."Nicole is pregnant, I know she hadn't told you yet, and she would want to tell you herself but you have to know that my daughter is pregnant with your child and you have to get them back soon, this is not good for the baby,"She replied, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know Nicole was pregnant, she didn't say a word to him, he thought, God, he thought the doctor said she won't be able to get pregnant again, dies that mean. Oh God, he needed to get her back. Aron collected the phone from him and spoke to Nicole's parents while he sat there still in shock.The police, his own team, and even the twins' parents agreed that it would be better if they involved security to avoid any foul play, he reluctantly agreed.Leonard didn't call back, instead, he texted a location where they can meet for the exchange and it was game on.Preparation for the meet up was super easy, it was the easy part of the whole thing, he wanted to go alone, wanted to just give the

After the talk with Rafael, Nicole couldn't fall asleep or do anything else again, she just sat and listened, Rafael said he will come and get them and she didn't want to be asleep when that happened, she told her sister to sleep so that she can be on watch, it seems like the younger guy finally left because she hasn't seen him since after their talk the other day. She silently prayed that Rafael will come for them tonight, she didn't want to spend a third night here, she wanted to go home, go home not to her family's mansion but to the house she shared with Rafael, even if he doesn't want to live in the mansion anymore she would stay with him at his new house, anywhere he was would be her home, she couldn't wait to tell him that she was sorry for everything and that she loves him so much,Nicole heard the noise in the distance, not just any kind of noise, vehicles were entering where they are, she quickly got up and walked to where Natalie lay."Natie?

"Nicole?"She heard her name, it wasn't just anyone calling her name it was Rafael, he came, he was here, he came for her."Don't come any closer, don't fucking come closer or she will be dead,"Leonard yelled holding on to Nicole, he pointed the gun at her, Rafael slowed down for a moment, she wanted to run to him, run into his embrace but she knew doing that would be catastrophic, so she stayed still."Rafael,"She cried"Baby, it will be fine I got you,"He said, she couldn't make out his face properly, the room wasn't dark as before but her eyes were blinded by tears and her body tried."Let her go, Leonard, let her go, she didn't do anything to you, fucking let her go,"He told Leonard who pulled her even closer and pressed the gun to her face."You think I am a fool? I should let her go? No way, if I go down, she dies,"He yelled at him pointing the gun at him."Let her go and face me, you moron,""Please don't Rafael don't provoke him, please,"She pleaded, her voice was almost

She walked back towards her ward in a sad mood, she needed to speak with Rafael and hoped he come back soon, instead of going back to the room, she opted for going to the hospital rooftop, she asked for directions and was shown the way up, she saw a few people up there and went to the more quiet side, sat down and brought out her phone from the hospital gown pocket, she had found the phone next to her when she woke up this morning, she thought she had lost it but thankfully not, she played with the phone before dialing his number, it didn't go through, maybe he turned it off, she wished he could just appear in front of her, she needed to talk to him, they have been separated for too long, she wanted him back now."Rafael,"She whispered his name."What are you doing here on your own, I have been looking everywhere for you,"She heard his voice and turned to see him waving at her, she stood up from where she sat, he appeared, she smiled when he did before bursting into tears, he ran t

Nicole looked around when she woke up again, Rafael wasn't by her side anymore, she looked to where Natalie was seated with Aron by her side, they were talking in whispers, she had told him to go and not return until he has gotten enough rest, he didn't want to leave so she had yelled at him to get out of her presence, it was harsh but she needed him to take care of himself too, she didn't want him to be careless with his health, he had surgery and he wasn't taking care of himself, imagine how scared she had been when all she wanted was to playfully hit him yet she ended up hurting him, the look of pain in his eyes had sent a shiver of fear down her body, she expected to see him again at least before she went to sleep last night but he hadn't shown up, when she woke up this morning, she had looked around for him too, she knew she told him to rest and he needed it but she had things to tell him, it was almost afternoon and he still wasn't back."Nicole, you are awake,"Natalie said as

"What happened?"The doctor asked looking at his hand."I mistakenly hit it somewhere and it is so fucking painful,"He said as the doctor helped him remove his shirt, he saw that his hand was bleeding again, Nicole didn't even hit hard enough for him to be bleeding this much."This is why I told you to look after yourself but you claimed to be fine, now we have to do a restitch or it might get infected and that's not good,"The doctor said to him as he placed a call across, it happened so fast, one minute he was watching the doctor give out instructions to whoever on the other side of the call, and the next minute, he saw himself falling, his head spinning and he couldn't control himself, he heard the doctor yell for someone and that was all he could remember.When he woke up again, he was back on the bed he had run away from, with the doctor, not the one he was with earlier but another doctor fixing something on the drip near his bed."You are awake, you stubborn man, you nearly kil

Rafael looked around the room he was in, the pain in his hands finally subsided, he got up and pulled his shirt on just as the door opened."Oh, you are up,"Lance said walking up to him."Yes, were you here throughout the night?""No, I just came in, I had to go to the police station, the other man was arrested this morning, but sadly Leonard died on the way to the hospital last night,"Lance revealed."What about my wife and her sister? Are they awake yet?"He asked standing on fixing his trousers."I don't know yet, I came straight here when I was told you are here, I can go and check for you if you want,"He offered."No, that's fine I will go myself,""I don't think that's advisable seeing that you had surgery a few hours ago,"Lance said trying to block his way."I am fine, don't you have things to do?""Yes, I will be on my way, call me if you need anything,"Lance said as they both walked out of his hospital room, they parted ways as Rafael walked straight to the doctor's offi
