The Billionaire’s Bartered Bride Chapter 10
Nicole woke up the next morning feeling like hell, she couldn't get enough sleep the previous night because she couldn't stop thinking of the kiss which made her feel shitty, then guilt too for kissing her sister's man, compounded with the fact that her period decided to come two days early, in conclusion, she was in a horrible mood and didn't want to get out of bed for the whole day, she still didn't know how she will face her sister after sharing a passionate kiss with her fiance, God knows she has tried her best to stop thinking of the kiss but each time she does it all keeps coming back."Fucking hell,"She muttered wanting the thought out of her head, she got off the bed and staggered to her restroom, brushed her teeth without looking at her face in the mirror she knew she would like hell with dark circles from not sleeping, she took her bath and came back to her room and laid naked with just the towels on her bed, the event of the previous night playing over in her head again.

"What did you say, mom?"Nicole asked, getting off her seat, this was so not the conversation she thought they were going to have, it didn't even cross her mind, but her mom just said it."I said, don't you think it will be good to give full ownership of the properties your grandma left for you guys to your sister? It will be a perfect wedding gift, your dad and I thought about it and decided to get the papers all you need to do is to sign, it's not that hard to understand,"Her mother said. Nicole couldn't believe what she was hearing."So that's it? That's the reason you were being so nice to me all these days? I should have known you have a motive, why was I stupid enough to believe that you actually started caring for me?"Nicole yelled at her mom, she couldn't believe her mom, she turned to her dad."And you are in on this too? I should sign off ownership of an inheritance Natalie and I both have just to please you? You must be fucking kidding,""Mind your Language young lady,""

Nicole asked, sure Natalie was okay with her kissing Rafael but what about they are together and he decides that he wants Natalie? Will she have to sleep with her sister's fiance too and will Natalie be okay with that too? "I promise, it won't get to that Nicole,"Natalie responded and Nicole shook her head in disbelief, her sister was just so manipulative that she would say whatever to get what she wants not minding the consequences, heck she doesn’t even think of the consequences at all, she just wants what she wants."You're impossible Natalie,""Please Nicole, I won't be pleading if this is not important Margaret have something that Rafael is bent on getting it through her,"Natalie revealed."What is that?I thought he got her property, is there more?"Nicole asked in confusion. "Yes, there is, the huge land next to the one he got belongs to someone very close to Margaret who she can talk to and would listen to her, that's why you have to help me, as Rafael is trying to get on h

“That’s not bad but give people a chance, you might not find anyone if you keep hiding,”Natalie responded.“That’s the thing, I don’t like people,”"Tish, that's why you are still single, just give people a chance and you will discover it's not that hard, aside from me, do you even have any friends?"Natalie asked, shaking her head."Yes, one, her name is Grace,"Nicole revealed. Grace wasn't really all that her friend but at least they chatted a lot and she sometimes just up and called her even though they mostly talk about art."Really? How come I don't know this person?""She works at my favorite art store, the place your fiance bought, she works at Vhrisma, and we talk a lot but she hasn't been to our house,""Oh, and you didn’t invite her to the wedding?""Hmm, she is antisocial like me and wouldn't come even if I tell her to,""Oh, I see,"Natalie responded and they went silent.They spent the rest of the hours talking about anything and everything. The next morning Nicole was

"What do you mean Natalie? I thought we talked about this? You are getting married in less than three hours, we are supposed to be on our way to the chapel soon, why the sudden change?"Nicole asked, confused as to how to handle this, it was so not what she expected and she hadn't prepared for this. After their discussion yesterday it had crossed her mind but she had shoved it because Natalie had assured her that she won't bailout."I can't do this, I can't get married now,""You said yesterday that you won't bail out, why are you doing this now Natalie? What happened? You were excited until a few minutes ago, I just went to my room and bang, you decided you don't want to be married again, what are you going to do? ""I don't know yet, I just know I don't want to be married,""You should have thought of that since it took two months or more to plan this wedding, you gave out invitations to people, not just any kind of people, big people, our relatives traveled from far, you got the m

"Hey Ina, what's up, I wanted to check up on how things are going on there,"She asked when Ina picked up."Nothing much yet but people are starting to arrive, where are you guys?""Still at home, the bride is not yet ready,""Oh, but you have to get here before time, I think the groom has arrived,""Alright, thanks,"Nicole said and ended the call, why was everyone arriving so early, the wedding wasn't until ten and it was just past eight, they still have at least two hours, Nicole walked back to Natalie 's room but she was nowhere to be seen, wondering where she went to, she ran downstairs looking for her, she checked their parent's room, the guest room but she wasn't there."Oh, no, this was bad, Natalie come on,"She said running back upstairs into her sister's room, she was there."What the fuck? I just came here and you weren't here and I have been looking for you and now you are here, where did you go to?""To get this,"She said pointing, showing her what she had in her hands

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
