The Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride Chapter 33
TwistAdrian's POV"Boss, it's ready" James announced with a smirk on his lips.I nodded in satisfaction and clicked my tongue. "Start with the one where he had a conversation with Miss. Lydia.""Alright, boss" He obeyed, and in the next few seconds, the video was played. Everyone could perfectly hear the words coming out of their mouths."Why is the poison so slow? Hasn't it started having an effect? Are you sure you've been putting it in his tea like I instructed?" Ivan in the video questioned, his voice full of a mix of contempt and impatience.Lydia, who had her gaze fixed on the ground, shuddered in fear. "Yes, I have been doing what you instructed. The poison is slow to react, but I'm certain it will take effect by next week. I can't give a particular day.""Hmph... I hope your words are true or you know the consequences" Ivan threatened. "I need him out of that seat so that I can become the next CEO of Gonzalez Infrastructure. After taking him down, we'll get rid of everyone th

JealousyIsabella's POV*Hmph...think you're better than me, hun?* I scoffed inwardly, maintaining a perfunctory smile.So bold of her to have asked why I left Korea to come work at Spotlight Desk. Not even the higher-ups knew the truth.My mother had died a long time ago and...."Miss. Fernanda, Miss. Moretti" A thick voice called, interrupting my thoughts. My smile faded away as I shifted my gaze off Luisa to see who had called.It was a young-looking looking naive man dressed in a blue suit and a pair of black pants."What is it?" Luisa asked indifferently.The man bowed slightly. "I'm sorry if I interrupted your peaceful time. The thing is Mr. Gabriel wants you to come for a photoshoot right now with Miss. Moretti.""Now?" I arched an eyebrow. "How come we weren't informed about it beforehand?""We also weren't informed, but who are we to refuse the directors" the man replied."Ugh...who leads like that?" I scoffed, looking at Luisa who strangely remained silent.She sighed and ut

A bold moveElizabeth's POV"Who told you I'm engaged to Diego?" I questioned, stupefied by the accusation.Raphael scoffed in disgust. "Isn't it obvious? He clings to you like a leech and you never shun him. Your parents are also not against him.""Wow, your imagination is beyond my understanding" I smiled mockingly, then snorted. "Don't tell me you keep tabs on me. If that's it, you better stop. You won't get anything good out of it. Besides, my dad won't be lenient with you if he finds out you're stalking me. You're dad's job...""I'm not stalking you" He cut me off sharply, his expression grim. "I'm not that irresponsible. I should also make one thing clear - I won't get over my feelings easily, so till I'm over you, stay out of my sight. Please...""That's my line, Raph" I retorted coldly. "It's my father's house and his company. I'm free to do whatever pleases me and appear wherever I want."Raphael's jaw clenched and his hands balled into a fist."Fine. Suit yourself" He grumbl

SuccessAdrian's POV"Let me go or this man is going down before your very eyes" Ivan yelled, stepping back. He pressed the gun tightly to the detective's skull and it clicked, causing everyone to shudder in fear.Everyone froze in fear, watching the detective try to wiggle his way out, but it was pointless. No one had expected such a swift change of position. A life was at stake and a single misstep could waste every effort we put into getting the company from Ivan.I glanced around to see everyone quivering. It seemed I was the only one who still had my sanity intact. I felt a hand on my shoulders and turned to see Javier standing behind me with confusion etched on his face."What do we do?" He asked, his voice barely audible. "I doubt he can be convinced with words.""Of course not. He's out of his mind" I hollered bluntly. "Just give me some time to find us a way out of this mess.""Alright," Javier sighed and stepped back.My head snapped back to Ivan, who was breathing heavily w

A set-upLuisa's POV"So weird" I shrugged and sauntered into my dressing room. It had been mine for years, and someone was trying to intrude. Even if it was a mistake, it still felt weird.As usual, the dress I needed to wear was hung on a human model. Yes, as the number one model in my industry, I had cleaners, make-up artists, and fashionistas assigned to me.Immediately, a knock came on the door, interrupting my thoughts. I guessed who was at the door, so I didn't hesitate to let the person in, or rather, people. The door creaked open and the make-up artist and her apprentice walked in with smiles on their faces. I wasn't friendly with them, but we were on good terms."Hello," I greeted curtly."Good day, Miss. Fernanda" Anna, the boss greeted and her apprentice bowed."Mr. Ruiz won't be available to help you wear your dress, so we'll be in charge of it for today" Anna added, and I nodded in approval. I had nothing against that."Okay, let's get to work" Anna dramatized, giving u

DeceivedIsabella's POV"Let's see how long it's going to take you to endure before your fall" I mumbled incoherently, my eyes fixed on Luisa who kept posing from different angles with a proud smile on her face.I was even proud of her. I mean, for someone who didn't have people on her side, she became great with just her talent and hard work alone. Too bad, it was all going to end soon. While smiling perfunctorily, I studied the surroundings and noticed the cameras above and behind. Thankfully, none was on me.Without informing Gabriel, I maneuvered my way out of the room and waltzed back to the dressing room. I had a hunch that the maids would always clean up when the room owners were done and my guess was right. Two ladies were walking out of Luisa's room, holding cleaning equipment.Ready to put my plan in motion, I dug out the eye pencil I had hidden in my dress. I smeared my face with it and tightened my eyeballs repeatedly to force tears out of it. Apart from being a model, I w

Hurtful wordsAdrian's POV"What's going on here?" Miguel questioned, his voice cold.He hadn't noticed my presence yet, which was a good opportunity to know what was going on."I came to see Adrian" The brown-haired lady responded proudly, and it made me wonder if we were that close to having her call me by my first name.That alone made Miguel livid."Did you just call the CEO by his name?" Miguel berated. "I thought you would be as cultured as your dressing."Wow!!That was savage. Miguel was never the one to disappoint in areas like that."How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who Adrian is to me?" The lady snarled. "If he finds out you embarrassed me, you might lose your job."I laughed inwardly, trying to imagine the scenario that could make me choose a badmouthed woman over my competent assistant."You don't know what you're talking about," Miguel said mockingly. "If you claim to know him, how come I haven't seen you anywhere near him before?""He's my fiance" She dec

FramedLuisa's POV"What's going on here?" Gabriel asked with an angry look. "What in the world happened to courtesy?""We're sorry, Mr. Gabriel, but you have to see this," One of the ladies said, and the other turned a bag to the ground and emptied the contents."What the hell...?" Gabriel trailed off. It was all drugs and pills."These are hips and buttocks enlargement drugs that we found in Miss. Fernanda's dressing room" The first lady announced."Huh..." I pouted in confusion, my mouth agape, and my body froze on a spot. No way. I probably misheard her.I subconsciously glanced at Gabriel whose face looked distorted. My gaze shifted to see other workers watching with keen eyes. I could feel a cover of darkness looming over me.Gabriel took a deep breath and uttered. "Care to explain?"Melissa, the second lady, avoided my gaze while speaking. "We decided to clean up Miss. Fernanda's dressing room as usual. Violet was wiping the make-up table when she found this bag behind the jewe

HopelessValerie's POVMy eyes shot open, and my chest heaved. Sweat beads trickled down my face as I tried to recall the details of the nightmare.Wait. Was it even a nightmare?"Oh, the princess is awake, huh?" A male voice whispered, his voice laced with mockery.At that moment, my senses woke up and my sharp gaze settled on the two men standing...No, they weren't standing. They were obviously kneeling before me. The two of them were shirtless, revealing the snake-like tattoos on their bodies. The one who spoke was blonde haired with grey eyes and a slender physique, while the second one had black hair with a touch of grey on it. His brown eyes was filled with mix of disdain and lewdness. His sturdy build was the most scary thing.What the hell was I doing with them?"Who are you guys? Where am I?" I questioned, my voice hoarse. A sharp pain shot through my head as I tried to put together the scattered pieces of images in my head. I couldn't help but wince in pain."Oh, she has a b

DisappearanceAdrian's POV"Tch... You bitch" I cursed, almost biting my tongue.I couldn't understand how we managed to bump into her without getting a warning from James.I shifted my gaze to Miguel. "What did he say?"Miguel shook his head slowly. "Nothing. He isn't responding.""If you're talking about the friend you left outside, he's probably dead by now" I heard Valerie say, and my blood boiled in anger."What do you mean?" I snapped.Valerie snickered. "Exactly what you heard. I already made plans just in case Jude and the waitress messed up. My men would have ambushed him by now. Now, back to our discussion. I have my terms and conditions."I frowned with a disturbance in my heart. "What terms?"Valerie smiled. "It's simple. You ditch that kitten, we get back together and you announce it to the world. Also, you help me get my company back."I was stupefied. "You're insane!" I snarled."I know" Valerie retorted. "Do you agree with my terms and conditions or are you going to re

TwistValerie's POVFlashback......"I hope that dirty waitress does her job perfectly well" I snorted, eyeing Levi suspiciously. I was still yet to understand why he decided to stick around after stating clearly that he wanted nothing to do with us anymore."She will" I heard Jude say. "She knows the consequences of failing.""Good," I stated, my eyes fluttering around the room we were in as I marveled at the scent of luxury. "How could she even afford this kind of suite in a club?"Jude chuckled. "She's the club owner's favorite and his bed warmer. What more can we expect?"She was already enjoying her boss, but it seemed her greed was insatiable. I mean, why else would she agree to my proposal?I laughed, shooking the thought of it off my mind. It was her business anyway. My only concern was to get what I wanted without mistakes."Good riddance" I smiled. "How many rooms do we have here?""Two" Jude replied curtly. "We've already prepared one for the mission. You can use the other

A Bomb DetonatorAdrian's POV"Don't forget we had a deal" Jude chipped in, glaring hard at the young lady. "One word from you, and you'll be dead."I smirked, studying her body response. "He's surrounded; he can't touch you. His words are just empty threats. Tell me the truth and I'll have you protected by my men till everything is over."The overwhelmed lady broke down in tears, her body trembling. "I... I.... don't know" She stuttered, falling to her knees.Javier was getting impatient. He walked up to her and cocked his gun, pointing it to her head. "You don't what?" He snapped. "Don't even try to scream or you'll be meeting your maker the second you do."The lady covered her mouth with her right hand, breathing heavily. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her skin was burning hot."Speak!" Javier barked, and the lady whimpered."I'll tell you" She stated. "But you have to promise to let me go. I'll pretend like nothing ever happened."I burst into laughter, stunned by her confid

The SearchAdrian's POV"She switched dresses with her" Javier stated the obvious, infuriating me further.I banged my fist against the wall, letting my anger control me. The next thing I did was to land a punch on the wall mirror, shattering it into pieces. I ignored the blood dripping from my knuckles and landed another blow on the next mirror."That's enough, Adrian. This is not the best way to solve this" Javier warned sternly.But I was too livid to listen. I swiftly threw a punch at him, but fortunately, he dodged. I didn't have enough time to withdraw my fist before he grabbed it and threw me a punch in the face."Get yourself together, man" He shouted in anger.I grabbed the sink and leaned on it for support."Shut the fuck up!" I cursed, spitting out blood. "I can't even find her. Who knows what they've done to her? How do I face her after this?""You're overwhelmed, Bro. I've never seen you like this" Javier revealed soberly. "You're forgetting it's a live video. They haven'

ImpersonationAdrian's POV"Where the hell is she?" I cursed silently, looking out for Luisa and the man she danced with. I couldn't believe my carefully mapped out plan to make sure she danced with someone we were familiar with failed woefully.As I searched for her, something kept tugging at my heart - the image of a lady behind a cat-like mask. The lady I danced with. We didn't exchange a word, but her smile kept me troubled.Who exactly was she?I felt a light tap on my shoulder, making me turn swiftly, on high alert."Chill, bro. It's me" Javier whispered. "I'm sorry that happened. I've checked everywhere but I can't seem to find her.""Tch..." I clenched my fist in anger. "What about the man she danced with?""Also nowhere to be found" Javier replied with a solemn voice.Instantly, my eyes caught sight of a familiar silhouette, dressed the same way I last saw her."Wow!" Javier exclaimed, staring at her. "Where did she go?"I ignored him, walking up to her. I grabbed her tiny ha

A SyringeLuisa's POV"Tch... Who made such a rule?" Adrian gritted his teeth in annoyance as he grumbled with a low voice. "This is the first time such is happening."I couldn't respond, because it was my first time attending a masquerade ball. I never really knew the rules.My eyeballs suddenly widened in realization.I turned to Adrian. "Who's the host?"He shrugged. "No one knows. There's a familiar signature on it; one that I'm used to. If not, we wouldn't be here.""Wow!" I exclaimed in amazement. It sounded daring but dangerous."Everyone get into position" The MC stated, signifying the commencement of the first dance. "Make sure to stand on the large blue flowers on the tile. It will help you guys maintain a reasonable distance."Blue flowers? Oh... There were imprints of blue and white flowers on the floor."Shouldn't we go join the others?" I asked, but Adrian squeezed my hand in reply."I won't let my wife dance with a stranger" He muttered.I read his lips, which left me

Dance PartnersLuisa's POV"You look stunning" Anna complimented with much sincerity, her eyes glittering with praises.She was indeed a top-notch make-up artist, who knew exactly what was good for her clients. I, myself, couldn't believe what I was seeing, my eyes fixed on the mirror."Of course, she looks stunning. It's my work of art" A sissy voice chipped in, full of pride.It was the fashion designer who helped with the dress fitting. Orlando, or what was he called? The guy couldn't just stop blabbering for a second. Nevertheless, I was grateful. Though the diamonds were too much, I still appreciated it.I didn't dare to think of reprimanding Adrian for spending his money on his wife. The masquerade ball was indeed not for the weak."Oh.. we have fifteen more minutes before the ball starts" Anna mentioned, her eyes on the wall clock. "The ride to the event center is five minutes."A knock on the door grabbed our attention. It was one of the maids in the mansion."Master demands f

A Dangerous JokeLuisa's POVThe tiny hope brewing in my chest turned to dust the moment the pervert pointed a gun at my belly. I was too young to die.Again and again, I kept falling into the hands of an enemy, and Adrian kept on being threatened, having to go the extra miles for my sake.Guilt washed over me as I watched them argue back and forth. I couldn't even summon the courage to make a sound, let alone speak out."Don't you dare try to hurt her" Adrian snarled."I will if you don't do as I say" Jefferson retorted."This is bullshit" A man standing next to Adrian cursed. "How dare you harass a woman? You haven't changed one bit.""And I'm guessing you're still that little kid who can't fight for himself" Jefferson fired back."You bet" The man replied."Enough!" Adrian commanded. "I'm done listening to your rambling. What do you want, Jefferson?"The pervert's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "I don't know who this woman is to you, but I know what I want.."A moment passed
