The Billionaire’s Bartered Bride Chapter 47
Rafael tried to calm himself as he drove to the airport but he just couldn't, he couldn't do it, this was far from what he could have thought, he hadn't expected this blow, he had been happily planning a live and starting a family with a liar, he was a fool, he should have seen the red flags but he had been blind, blinded by whatever she had bewitched him with, there were so many instances where, there were so many clues but he had ignored them all thinking marriage to him had changed her just like it has been for him, he was a fool, he couldn't think of anything else, the flight back was hell, he regretted leaving her behind, which was a new thing, why would he regret it when she did him wrong, she can get home by herself and he was going to stick with what he said, he want nothing to do with her anymore, she was not even the woman he married, yes he married her but it's not her, it was so confusing, they messed with him, messed with his life, he should be angry but he wasn't even an

Nicole woke up sad again, the sadness she was feeling became her new companion, every day it got even worst, every moment without Rafael, she couldn't stop thinking about him even after knowing why he had married her or rather Natalie, it was all for what he wanted to gain from them, two weeks after their last meeting, she hasn't heard anything from him, she missed him so much and everyday she just wanted to go back and beg him to take her back but she had her pride she couldn't do that not even with how she loves him, he did so bad approaching her sister for the wrong reasons and both her and Natalie did too by playing him, she just wished none of this happened, he had called her two days ago, she picked up said hello and he had hung up without saying anything to her, she felt it was a mistake and he had dialed her number before realizing, when she had saw his number flash on her screen she had been both scared and shocked, when he didn't say anything disappointment joined, not like

Nicole couldn’t believe what she was hearing, this felt like a dream, her parents, especially her mom never defended her before, they never took her side, they always picked Nat over her, her mom only ever said Jean things to her.“I don’t know mom, everything hurt so bad,”She let out.“I know, it hurt but you will be fine, I promise,”"Mom,"She cried hugging her mom, her mother hugged her back, this was the first time since she became an adult that she was receiving this kind of attention from her parents, her first real hug with her mom, it felt surreal, yes this whole situation was horrible but if it means getting back together with her parents then she didn't mind so much, she has always wanted this even though she never shows it, she always wanted her parents to love her and care about her feelings and they were doing that now."I am sorry Mom, dad, but I love him, I love him so much, that's why it hurt so much,""I understand you, princess, Rafael is pretty much a fine-looking

"I want you back, I can't function without you here, you bewitched me,"Rafael said again making her head spin, what the fuck did he mean, was he drunk for real? He had to be."Rafael, are you drunk?""Yes, I am drunk, why else will I be calling someone who should not mean anything to me, I have been drunk for two weeks too, why else am I always thinking about you and want you back, Natalie please come back,""I am sorry Rafael, I am not Natalie, my name is Nicole,""I know, can't you just keep being Natalie and stay by my side? Let's just pretend I never found out, I want you back here,"He carried on, but she didn't want, she didn't want to keep pretending to be someone she wasn't, she love Rafael and miss him so much but she wasn't going to do it."I am sorry, Rafael, I am just going to hang up,"She said."Nicole, don't please, I am sorry, I just want you back,""You are drunk Rafael, you might not like this when you sober up,""No, I won't,""Okay, then let's see when you are sob

They spent the rest of the night in silence and the next morning, he was discharged, they left the hospital without saying any words to each other except it was necessary, Nicole couldn’t let Rafael be on his own while he was hurt so she decided she would stay with him at least for the first day.Nicole watched over Rafael for the next two days, she canceled all business plans and have him take rest, made sure to not leave his side for long, and tended to his wounds, he was out of it most of the time, the doctor had said he hasn't been getting enough sleep, she felt bad because she knew she most likely is the cause of it, she and her sister, which is why she tried to make it up to him, she fed him and made sure he got enough sleep, by the third day, he was looking better, so she decided it was better to return home, she had told her parents what happened and where she was so they didn't worry."Time to go back home,"She said out loud picking her stuff from the room she has been using

Rafael watched her sleep, she looked so pretty and what more she was his, he didn't realize just how much in love with her he was until he told her, he loved, being without her has been hell, he couldn't function, couldn't go a day without thinking of her and she made it even worse, it was as if she disappeared off the face of the Earth, then he had met her dad and usually he would have been mad but her dad had talked him and told him Nicole was only trying to help her twin, of course, he knew that's what she had been trying to do, he understood that but the fact that she didn't tell him had gotten to him.They got close, they became friends, she should have told him, but then, how would ye have reacted if she had told him? Would he have understood? Would he have given her the time to explain? He never did give her time even after he found out himself.After his talk with her father, he had thought of the words the old man had said and sadly discovered that he wasn't even mad at her,

"Good morning my love,"Rafael greeted Nicole the next morning when she finally woke up, she looked at him weirdly and looked around her surrounding."What? Don't tell me you thought it was all a dream,"He said patting her face, she frowned before getting off the bed."I thought it was, I was ready to cry a load today,"She responded rubbing her eyes "Well, guess you don't need to cry because it's not a dream,"He replied."I still can't believe it, you love me? How did that happen? How so soon, you are supposed to be a ruthless man with zero emotions,"She said, Rafael smiled, she was saying exactly what he had thought about the night before, maybe it really wasn't that, maybe he just didn't get someone to make him feel but now he did and he didn't want to lie to himself, he always gets what he wants and that includes her."Let's just say, I am not really that, even I think I was but it took a sassy but shy missy to change that, and I don't regret it,""So you love me?""Yes,""And

Nicole stood rooted, she tried talking but the words weren't forming, she just stared at the entrance of her studio, it didn't seem like anything changed but something changed, first of all, he change the paint color, she had told him she preferred purple to pink, she didn't know he would decide to use it for her studio, where before there was while and pink, now the colts were white and purple, another thing that she noticed and the biggest change of all was the name, her name changed, it was no longer Natalie on the name tag but Nicole, it had Nicole boldly written, *NICOLE SALVADOR*"Nicole, say something, your silence is killing me, did I do this wrong? I thought it would be better to change it to your real name, and also I decided to paint it with your favorite color too,"Rafael said and she realized she hadn't talked to him, she turned to him, as tears welled up in her eyes, he was the best, simply the best and she didn't deserve him but still, she would keep him.“Wow, what i

Rafael looked up to see his woman walking towards him, she was wearing a simple yet pretty gown that was more of a maternity gown than a wedding gown, she looked so good, every day watching her get bigger and bigger was the new joy of his life, she was everything he never knew he wanted, she was his wife, his love, his family and his life, the reason he existed, she looked up at him and smiled, his heart warmed up seeing her pretty smile.The past three months of his life has been the best so far, every day waking up to her was a blessing, beyond what he had ever imagined, not just her but her family too, the one that also became his family, he couldn't believe he had almost lost out on the biggest love he found, a year ago, he had walked down the aisle with a woman he had thought was Natalie but turned out to be Nicole, he had a motive back them, marry her and get the right to her properties, the day he made those decisions marked the beginning of the biggest change in his life, not

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
