The Billionaire’s Bet Chapter 104
NICOLEI was in the laundry room, putting my clothes into the washing machine when I heard footsteps behind me. I paused and turned around. Mia stood there, her eyes fixed on me in a weird way.“Do you need anything, Mia? Why are you standing over there?"She didn't respond. Instead, her gaze remained locked on mine, unblinking.My confusion deepened, and I couldn't help but notice her hands, which had been concealed behind her back. With a sudden motion, she brought them forward, revealing a black rope clutched tightly in her grip.My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly dismissed the sight as a strange joke or a misunderstanding. I shrugged off the unease and went back to my laundry, assuming it was a mere coincidence.But as I continued loading the clothes, my hands became suddenly immobilized, the fabric slipping from my grasp.Startled, I glanced down to see Mia expertly knotting the black rope around my wrists.“Mia! What the heck? Are you crazy?” I flared my nostrils, “Untie me

NICOLE It had been a few weeks since Marcus and I embarked on our pregnancy journey together, and my heart was filled with happiness and anticipation. Today was a pretty big day for us—we had a check-up at the doctor's clinic. I couldn't contain my excitement! Marcus, being the sweetheart that he is, gently nudged me, reminding me to get my act together. "Come on, Nicole! We don't want to be late for your appointment," he called cheerfully from the living room.I rushed through the last-minute adjustments to my dress, practically floating with joy. "I'm all set, babe! Let's hit the road!"Grabbing Marcus's hand, we strolled out to the carFinally, we made it to the clinic. Holding hands, we strolled into the waiting room, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement coursing through our veins.My heart was racing like crazy.The nurse called our names. With eager steps, we strutted into the doctor's examination room. I mean, we were ready for anything at this point.The doctor greet

MARCUSI knew Nicole wouldn't listen to me when I told her to forget about the little girl. She liked to care for others even at the detriment of her own happiness.She was leaning into my embrace and I turned her to face me, my hand resting on her shoulders. “Time to go to bed”. I murmured. “You need it for the baby”She wanted to protest. The lines on her forehead deepened, creasing with worry. But I knew that her exhaustion was catching up with her, and she needed rest, both for her own sake and for the precious life growing inside her. So, I placed a gentle index finger against her lips, silencing any potential words of defiance.“Not one word from you," I gently interrupted, my touch lingering for a moment before I guided her forward, urging her towards the bed. "Now if you don't mind, go to sleep."She allowed herself to be led toward the bed, her steps slow and deliberate.In the soft glow of the bedroom, I stood by her side, helping her unzip her dress.“Go on," I encourage

MARCUS“Um, babe, is that lipstick on your shirt?” She asked, inspecting it closely.I gulped, trying to think of what to say that won’t make her panic. Because even I didn't know how it got there. But it had to be from Vicky. “And I know you don't wear lipstick, so it's definitely not yours. Who were you with?"“I'm as surprised as you are. You won't believe what happened," I said. "So, you know how I was at the office party last night?"She nodded, still eyeing the lipstick stain suspiciously."Well, it was the most bizarre thing," I continued, trying to sound convincing. "There was this magician performing, and he was doing all these mind-boggling tricks. At one point, he asked for a volunteer, and guess who he picked?"She raised an eyebrow, her curiosity momentarily piqued. "You?"I nodded eagerly, hoping to convince her. "Yes, exactly! Can you believe it? Anyway, he had me pick a card from the deck, and then he did this incredible disappearing act with it. Poof! The card was

NICOLEI stared at him as he displayed the worst side of his nonchalant attitude, before he cracked into a smile, fiddling with his fork even more.“Babe”. I called out and he burst out into a laugh.“What’s the problem Nicole? Is it the baby? Do you need something? I told you it was nothing. Why are women so complicated?” He rolled his eyes and I frowned.His playful attitude dropped quickly when he saw that I wasn’t joking.“Babe, come on, do you really think there is something going on with me?” He grinned“You go out at strange hours, you don’t come back early enough. You keep things to yourself, always hiding the screen of your laptop. And then Vicky. It’s always Vicky! She came to give you your watch, you never take it off, so how did it get to her?”He blinked at me rapidly then drank from his glass of wine.“Is that Jealousy I see right there? “ His grin made me drop my head to the table in frustration. He clearly wasn’t getting it. “Okay, I’ll give you more attention. Does th

NICOLE“What is he doing here?" I poked the window of my car as I saw my husband standing at the entrance of some strange house. His composure seemed anxious and though I was no detective, he looked like he was about to do something shady.A figure opened the door and it looked like it was wearing a robe. A woman? Was it Vicky??I tried to look closer but I couldn't see her face, his body language softened when she opened the door and she let him in.Marcus was with another woman."No, I can't be thinking like this." I relaxed my back in the chair as I rubbed my temples, there was no way he could be cheating, not after everything we have been through but why would he choose to hide this from me? What was the big deal that he couldn't tell me he needed to see someone at 2 am?Oh.Realization dawned on me and I kicked the ignition, I needed to get home,he could come out at any time and he was a better driver. I revved the engine and off I was. The road was free, everyone was at home

NICOLE “Ms. Nicole?" the little voice called out, unsure. I looked down and recognized Ellie, the little girl I had met at the art gallery previously.What was she doing out here alone?I grinned. "Hey, Ellie. We meet again. How are you?""I'm fine. I'm so happy to see you," she smiled brightly. That was when I noticed the frame she was holding, wrapped in brown paper."What are you doing here all by yourself?"She gestured to the frame she was holding. It was a wonder how she was able to carry it alone. "Oh, I came to donate this work of art.""Really? That's so thoughtful of you," I said, holding her hands in mine and helping her carry the painting. "Come on, let's go submit it, and after that, we can get some ice cream. How does that sound?""Perfect!" she cheered. Together, we walked to the front desk, and I assisted her in signing her name before we dropped off the painting.I was still surprised that a girl of her age could come all the way to the orphanage without a guardian.

NICOLEShe did a double take. “Nicole? What a surprise. I didn't know you were coming” Well, I didn't know it was going to be your house too. I pressed my lips together, attempting to regain composure. "Lovely home," I managed to say, glancing around at the interior."You're already drenched from the rain. Come, let me change you into a comfortable outfit," she offered, guiding me towards her room located down the hallway.So Marcus had sneaked out of the house to come to visit Vicky. I was getting closer to the answer but I didn't like how it was headed.Her room was big and painted in lavender. A cozy armchair was placed near a bookshelf. Nearby, a small vanity table displayed a collection of antique perfume bottles, a hand mirror, and a hairbrush.“You can take your seat over there” she gestured to the armchair and walked into her walk-in closet. After a moment, she emerged with this loose fitting dress and handed it to me.“Here," she said, passing me the clothes. "Put these on

"Daddy! Daddy! How does it look?"My eyes shifted from the desk to the little princess In front of me, she was holding her canvas and her eyes were glittering with so much love and hope, I never thought I would melt at such beauty but ever since I met Nicole, things changed.I was amazed at her realistic creation painting, it was a plant growing from the earth and it looked like I was watching it happen live."It's…" I paused for a while, pulling her closer to me. Ellie's eyes dulled and so her posture slacked with her emotional change."You don't like it?" It was almost a whimper before I scoffed."Ellie, I love it! It's so beautiful I wasn't able to comprehend it. It's something your mom would have painted." I smiled at her and she set the canvas down before jumping on my lap, "she'll be proud.""Do you think she's going to come back?" The question always stung my heart, I didn't have the answer to it, I've always had a solution for every problem, except for this one."Yes, she will

NICOLE “If you think some superhero is going to swoop in and save your sorry asses, then you thought wrong," Mariella sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.We were holed up in an underground house, a safe haven turned into a grim prison. Ellie and I sat huddled on the floor, our hair disheveled, our clothes stained and torn.Mariella paced around the room like she owned the place, her hand confidently planted on her hips. She chewed her gum obnoxiously, the sound echoing through the tense air.“Now that I think about it," she said, her words laced with cruel calculation. "How much should I sell you both for? Let's leave the little girl out of it. You, my dear, are worth way more than her. You're a package deal, two for the price of one."I instinctively placed my hand on my belly, a protective gesture that seemed to amuse Mariella. She let out a mocking laugh as she observed my action."Aww, Marcus' little heir is in there, huh? Poor baby," she sneered, scrunching down to my lev

MARCUSI sat at the dimly lit bar, swirling the drink in my hand, my mind wandered to Vicky. She had been nothing but kind to me. I prayed she was still alive, hoping that fate had spared her from the clutches of the child trafficking ring. I felt responsible for her since she had no one else to help her.She had no family or friends and she looked to me like a brother.My concerns deepened as the realization struck that I hadn't heard from Nicole in days. The last time we spoke was when I called and she informed me that she now had the company of a little girl at home.I was happy with that. At least she won't be lonely and would have someone to talk to. Even if it was just a child.I tried calling her number a few times, but it was unreachable. The bar had started to empty out, leaving only a rowdy group of girls. From the moment I arrived, I could feel their eyes on me, but I did my best to ignore their glances.As the place grew practically deserted, I couldn't help but notice o

NICOLE The police were still trying to trace Mariella’s location, yet nothing has been found. It was as if she was no longer on planet earth.I was trying to finish up another of my paintings that I had started a few days back. I was hoping to go donate it at the orphanage. These past weeks I've grown accustomed to visiting the place. Marcus came in and peeped at my work, nodding his head in approval. “You’re almost done”I smiled, “Yes I am. It just needs some finishing touches”“I'm going to the police station to see how far they've gone with the investigation, I'll be back in a few days” he said, stroking my back.“Alright. Be good” I watched Marcus leave the room, his footsteps fading away as he made his way toe find Vicky.With a sigh, I turned my attention back to my painting.Hours passed, and my painting finally took its final form.I stepped back to admire it. It was a depiction of a serene meadow, with blooming flowers and a radiant sunset in the background.I prepared to l

MARCUSAll three of us sat at the dining table, the aroma of freshly cooked waffles and sausages filling the air. I had woken up early, determined to mend the strained atmosphere with a delicious breakfast. Nicole, however, was still giving me the silent treatment, her expression somber as she pushed her food around her plate.The tension was palpable, and I could feel my own discomfort growing with each passing second. It seemed like an eternity until Vicky decided to break the ice.“Nicole," Vicky spoke up, her voice soft but pleading. Nicole looked up, her eyes meeting Vicky's gentle gaze. "Yeah?""I understand that you might be upset, but please don't take it all out on Marcus. He was just trying to help me”Nicole let out a sigh and muttered, "Don't worry about it. We're cool." But her dismissive tone revealed that she wasn't cool at all. She finished eating in silence, abruptly standing up from the table and leaving me and Vicky behind.Vicky let out a disappointed sigh, her ta

MARCUSRight now me and Nicole were sitting next to each other, and Mia was sitting across from us at the station. There was this barricade thing separating us.Nicole, being her stubborn self, had insisted that we take care of Mia's kid. And I had no choice but to go along with it. What else could I do? Nicole can be pretty persuasive when she wants to be.“Thank you both so much for forgiving me and forgetting the past. I don’t know how else I can thank you, but I really appreciate your effort” Mia clasped her hands together. Her nose was a bit swollen due to her condition, she was probably in her third Trimester while Nicole was in her second.“It’s fine. We are more than happy to help” Nicole beamed at her.I nodded in agreement, offering a smile to Mia. "Absolutely, Mia. We understand that people make mistakes, and we believe in giving second chances."She reached out to touch her swollen belly. "This baby means the world to me. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make thing
