The Billionaire’s Bartered Bride Chapter 39
Nicole decided to go visit at Vhrisma, she hadn't been there for a long time, since she got married, not that she didn't want to but Rafael stocked her studio full with everything she needed that she didn't have to get anything for the rest of the year, except if there is a new trend, it was easier to work now, and she had so much work down recently, she even opened an Instagram page and so far she had over two hundred thousand followers, she never post anything of herself except her work, her fans has been asking for the face behind the brand but she was skeptical to reveal, she didn't want the attention that comes with doing that, not to mention she was already doing too much with Natalie's identity, first of she had laid off two brands already and was going to do more when Natalie's contract with them ends, her ending the contract had made headlines and she had taught Rafael would be pissed but he didn't even ask, she wanted less attention to her even though she did her best to pla

"That's not my wife,"He replied staring at the photo of the woman who looked everything like his but looked nothing like her at the same time, there was no way that was Natalie first of all he left Natalie at home a few hours ago and there is no way she would be in another country already, and also Natalie's hair wasn't bleached, and straightened, she looked like a different version of his woman, he was in his office and his secretary had brought in a photo of a woman who they claim to be his wife, since they haven't seen her outside in a while so they just have assumed she was vacationing in another country if he hadn't left his wife at home earlier, he was sure he would have fallen for it too, the resemblance was very much, maybe it was her twin because she was still not back from her travel, but she wasn't someone who would like the attention from what he had heard of her from Natalie so he decided to keep that part to himself."I could have sworn it was her, they look so much ali

"Then why am I hearing that you are going to buy out my company? Just know that I would rather die than sell to you,"He said jumping from his wives to his own story, that was what brought him here in the first place, he didn't come because he cared for his family, he was too self-centered for that."Where ever or whoever you heard that from, you better un-hear it, why would I want to associate with a criminal company? I have never plan on investing my money in crimes,"Rafael responded shocking Leonard, the dude must be stupid to think he wanted his property."So you don't have any plans of buying?""I just said so, didn't I? Anyway, you should leave this minute, my patience is fast running out and I might add trespassing to your list of growing charges."Rafael said in a dismissing voice."Can't you just let me off the hook, this all started because of you, I lost everything because of you,"Leonard accused."No it's your fault, everything happened because of your greed, now get out

"It was really nice meeting up with you Nicole, I hope we see each other when I come around,"Grace said hugging her."Me too Grace, I hope we meet soon, I won't forget to keep up this time, don't pressure yourself too much or hide away okay? You can have fun while studying,""I will keep that in mind, don't forget what I told you too,""I won't, thank Grace,"Nicole said as her cab drove off leaving Grace In the walkway to her house, she had dropped her off after they were done at Vhrisma, she had fun today and she got to check out lots of new pieces that arrived at Vhrisma when she was away, above all, she had a heart to heart talk with Grace, someone who knew her as her, in the whole of Florida, it was both emotional and refreshing to see someone who knew the real her, on the drive home, she kept thinking about the things Grace said, what if it is true that she was in love with Rafael, what's going to happen? And would she be able to tell him the truth as Grace suggested? How would

"Baby, look at me, open your eyes for me, my love, I want to see what I do to you, I want you to look at me when you come for me,"He said as his thrust got faster, she obeyed him, her heartwarming at his choice of nicknames, he called her his love, she knew it was the sex talking but it still felt good hearing him call her that and it felt wholesome watching his face harden with each thrust, she could feel that he was closehe claimed her lips as he drove in further."Yes, that's it baby, look at me,"He said going even faster, raising her legs with his hands to deepen hasten his movement inside her."Please, I want, I,"She pleaded to feel her climax rolling in."Yes baby, let it go, come for me, don't hold yourself,"He said driving faster into her, carrying her over the edge, she screamed out her climax as he joined her a moment later, they both moaned in unison as he collapsed on top of her, he kissed her softly, before getting off her and laying on the bed, he pulled her close

The week flew by so fast and before Nicole could know it was just remaining one day until they return to Florida, she wished she could have more time with him just the two of them but the times weren't stopping, they spent most of their time indoors making love, without protection, not like they have ever used protection since they started making love, one part of her was always worried she might get pregnant but the greater part of her liked the idea of being pregnant with his child, maybe she was getting too greedy, maybe she wanted to keep him, there was no way Natalie would take her child from her but then what will it be like when Rafael finds out? Would he hate her and the child? Those thoughts crossed her mind a lot that she had wanted to go on pills since she couldn't tell him he should use protection which might raise questions she just wasn't ready to answer, but she never used pill before and she wasn't familiar with any of it and didn't know much about the pros and cons, s

He hated her, she just knew it."Really? Wow, I don't even know what to say to you, who did I propose to?"He asked."It was Natalie,""How long has this been going on, I know it can't just be from the wedding day, you guys have been doing this while we were still dating because I noticed but I didn't think much of it since I didn't know there were two of you, just how long have you and your twin been playing me for a fool?"She just had to tell him all, there was no point hiding anyway, he already knew and would connect the dots as to their different behavior and know when it was her or Natalie."Not all the time, the dinner date, the meet up at Vhrisma and the Margaret house meet up,"She revealed."What? So you are the one I fell for?"He asked shocking her, she didn't think she heard him right, she must have heard him wrong there was no way he just said he fell for her."What?""So? We have been married for months now and we slept together, what were you guys planning to do when s

Nicole sat down staring at the particular place open-mouthed, this has to be a joke, there was no way Rafael would have made Natalie sign such a thing, and Natalie couldn't have signed knowing right? Why will she sign right to what they both own to Rafael? She can't do that unless she didn't bother to read and Rafael had had her sign knowing she would not read it.“There has to be some kind of mix up somewhere, this can’t be true,”She tried to convince herself but the papers staring at her were saying otherwise.Nicole sat down and read through everything on the prenup every word and every page, by the time she was done, she was beyond angry, There was no excusing this, there wasn't a way to excuse Rafael, he had approached Natalie because of this, to get their property, something they got from their grandma which can't be bought but gotten to marriage, grandma made it that when they get married, they can collectively agree to either sale to their spouse, or sale to anyone but they

Three months later...Nicole watched as the reporters made a report that was concerning her."The wedding ceremony of two most talked about couples in the past few months is happening today and we are all living for it, the couple who are expecting their first child soon decided to tie the knot before their baby is born, and the whole country is looking forward to today,"The reporter said, Nicole laughed touching her tummy which has gotten bigger over the last three months, she was currently in her sixth month of pregnancy and everything has been blissful for the past three months, her life has been perfect in every way, she had family and friends and most especially Rafael with her and nothing could beat that."You know you are going to be late if you just sit there watching TV and smiling to yourself,"Natalie announced as she walked into her room, she was ready and looked so pretty in her simple yet so beautiful bridesmaid dress, both she and Grace were her bridesmaid."I can't be

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

"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

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? Natie? I think help is here, th

"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
