The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-five: A life of lies
Rose’s POV“Come on, love, you can do it,” He whispered into my ears, pressing me tightly to his chest once more before letting me go.We were at the parking lot of the nursing facility my mom had been admitted to since her accident, as she could no longer take proper care of herself. When I’d first come in search of her, I expected her to be at a proper hospital, receiving the best care in the world but I was shocked to discover she was relocated to a nursing facility. I had a lot of questions to ask my dad regarding this but for now, I had a score to settle. I needed to confess my sins and ask for their forgiveness.“I’ll come with you, if you want,” he said, even after pulling away but our hands were still connected, and I saw the sincerity in his eyes as I stared at him.“It’s… it’s fine,” I offered him a small smile and he merely nodded. “Thank you for doing this for me,”“Anything for you, Rosie,” he raised my arm that was still in his hold, to his lips and kissed it softly.He’
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-six: More to unfold
Rose’s POV“Let’s go,” I said in a dry emotionless voice as soon as I got to Jian’s car. The anger and disappointment accompanied with heartbreak that I was feeling was so great that it had my lips wobbling and my eyes twitching but I struggled to keep still just so he wouldn’t notice that something was off but with the way his gaze rested on me after hearing my words, I knew he has read my mood and was aware that something was amiss. “Rosie…” he spoke after a long silence, carefully looking at me. He tried to reach for me but I moved away from his hold and rounded the car to get in the passenger seat. From my seat, I heard him heave a sigh before getting in. “It didn’t go well, did it?”I knew he’d keep pushing and I didn’t want him to become too curious about what had happened in there as I wasn’t ready to talk about it or even think too much into my mother’s confession. It still felt like a dream and I was going to let it remain that way.“Not really,” I finally responded, in a d
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-seven: More lies
Rose’s POV“There’s something else your mother is hiding, Rose. You need to know the truth about your biological father,”I stared at the note while trying to make sense of the words I was reading but it all sounded like a lie. At one point, I blinked just to make sure I wasn’t day dreaming but my eyes met with the same note and the same words written on it.I had the urge to laugh but it just wouldn’t come. This must be a prank because what was this? That Williams wasn’t my biological father?It was unbelievable. I grew up to know Williams as my dad. He’s always been in my life and has always been there for me. If he wasn’t my dad, then why show up countless times and show me so much love?I shook my head, refusing to believe it but the more I stared at the note, the more I wondered if there was some truth in the words that stared back at me. Coupled with my mom’s recent confession, it was a tough choice to get rid of the doubt that was beginning to grow within me. What if she had mo
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-eight: A con
Jian’s POVI stared at her as she slept peacefully in my bed. She looked so angelic and calm that I tried staying silent so as not to wake her. Her gloomy mood from the hospital had faded off after I agreed to let her stay with me for the duration of her school holiday and to take her to see her best friend at school, and I was glad that she’d confessed the truth to her mom. We’d made dinner together, and she returned to bed again. With my help, she was able to fall asleep and I was meant to be sleeping next to her, but I couldn’t.The detective I hired to look into her past got back to me this afternoon while she’d been napping. He sent an entire file containing every information about her and as ecstatic as I was to see it, my curiosity had waned when I downloaded the file into my computer. As eager as I was to expose all of her demons and whatever she was running from, I was also skeptical of what I’ll find, especially when it comes to her connection with this Don who is supposed
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Thirty-nine: Payday
Rose’s POV “Hi, good morning,” I murmured a greeting to Jian as I walked into the kitchen and slumped into one of the stools at the breakfast bar. It was past 10 in the morning and I’d just awaken from my beauty sleep. Besides being unconscious, I couldn’t recall the last time I slept so well and without nightmares to jerk me awake. What can I say? Sleeping next to Jian’s warm body had its perks. “Good morning, baby,” He responded, still facing the stove with his back turned to me as he continued cooking. I loved seeing him in the kitchen. It made him look so carefree and yummy, and it was one part of him that warmed my heart, unlike the daunting businessman that set it on fire. A yawn escaped my lips as I kept staring at him. He finished from the stove, untied the apron at his waist, tossed it on the counter, and headed towards me. “How was your night, love?” he leaned down and casually pressed his lips to my temple, making warmth spread within me, and my cheeks heated up in a bl
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Forty: Who's Sylvia Lancaster
Rose’s POVI agreed to his demands. I mean what could go wrong? There was a lot at stake, and if being his plaything will give me the time to sort out myself then I’d take it. Although, it was quite surprising that he’d go back on his word after making it crystal clear that there couldn’t be any romantic relationship between us, considering he knew my parents very well and considered them family.I glanced at him from the passenger seat of his car, but his attention remained on the road, his hold on the steering wheel and he drove towards my parents home. After reaching an agreement on his new deal, we got ready to see my dad. I’d been anticipating this meeting but now that we were almost there, my anxiety was gradually building to a fever pitch. I had no idea what to expect. I only hoped whatever my dad would tell me would be able to help me understand that note and to decide if it was a bluff or if it was true.In about twenty minutes, we pulled through the gates of my parents home
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Forty-one: Who's Lying?
Rose’s POV“He bought it,” I told Jian, as we pulled out of the huge gates of my parents home into the quiet street.“What?” he spared me a glance with furrowed brows before returning his attention to the road.“I mean we didn’t need to convince him much to believe. The moment I mentioned it to him, he acted like he knew we were dating,”“Ohh…” he chuckled. “All thanks to my exceptional acting skills,”“Oh please,”We remained quiet for a while as he maneuvered his way out of the street onto the main road and headed towards the way to the nursing facility where my mom was. I’d mentioned to him that I needed to see my mom one last time before we’d leave and he agreed without questions. Everything my dad told me was still revolving around my head and I couldn’t even believe that she’d do such a thing. She was always the good one in the family, the one to settle conflicts. The one to bring everyone together and she was always so cheerful. So why harbor such hate for the same people she p
The Billionaire’s Captive Chapter Forty-two: A trail
Jian’s POVFor the umpteenth time, I glanced at the watch adorning my wrist and checked the rearview mirror, hoping to see the man I was waiting for but he was nowhere to be found. He’d sent a text to me while I was waiting for Rosie at the nursing home, that he had found out another discrete information about Rosie’s case and he wanted us to meet. It’s been almost thirty minutes since I arrived at this lonely dirt road, waiting for him to arrive but he was nowhere to be found.I reached for my phone and was about to call him when I heard a slight tap on the window. I looked up to see him leaning over it. I waved him to the passenger seat and he rounded the car to get in.“What took you so long?” I questioned as soon as he got into the car.“I apologize for my tardiness but it was urgent I see you today, and we had to meet here because I fear they may have caught onto me and it’d be risky to discuss over the phone or even in a public place,”“Who are they?” I inquired, with a frown ma
