The Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride Chapter 37
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

ArrestedIsabella's POVTwo hours agoI knew that just claiming to have seen the bag in the room was baseless. The ladies would be questioned. However, I didn't care about them getting locked up. I mean, even if my name was mentioned, they had no proof, and I had more say than them. Still, my goal wouldn't be achieved.I stood in the dressing room, scanning the area carefully. A moment passed before I sighted a camera fixed on the ceiling."Ahhhh!" I gasped in shock.I had a lot of work to do, or I would be the one rotting in jail. I couldn't believe I didn't think of that before framing Luisa.I paced back and forth for the next few minutes before a smart idea popped into my head. I was joyous. Yes, it was going to work.I dug my phone from my pocket and opened it, I dialed a number and placed the phone against my ear. The call was picked up on the first ring."Hello, Bella," The alluring voice rang out, sending shivers down my spine.I was speechless but later found my voice. "Hello

EvidencesAdrian's POVI pressed a button, and the door opened. He walked in briskly.I frowned. "Have you taken those pictures down?""Yes, I have," Miguel replied confidently. "I also gave them a stern warning to keep their mouths sealed about it.""Good. Why do you look so disturbed?" I questioned.Miguel inhaled sharply. "Big boss, it's Madame."I frowned. "What about her?""She's being accused publicly of drug abuse," Miguel replied with a voice of severity. "It's a live video, and it has gone viral.""What?!" I gasped in disbelief, trying hard to process the hard-to-understand piece of information. Luisa? Drugs? They were two worlds apart.It was probably false information, but then, videos were spreading like wildfire. Nevertheless, I couldn't believe Luisa was involved in drugs. There was something wrong somewhere."Where is she now?" I questioned with a low growl."At the station. She's been arrested," Miguel replied solemnly, his eyes on his computer. "Why do I feel like the

The truthLuisa's POV"A visitor?" I questioned in disbelief.Who could come to see me if not Gabriel? He was the only one I could think of, that is, if he wanted to see my face."Come with me" The warden urged, walking to the exit.I stood up with the handcuff on my hands. He led me to a different room where two male figures sat with their back against me.I had to go sit on the chair before them. I took my time to sit properly before looking up to acknowledge the men before me."What?!" I spat in shock, my voice trembling.Why were they here? I mean, what business did they have with me?"Adrian, Miguel" I gasped. "You shouldn't be here.""It's nice to see you too, my darling wife" Adrian replied sarcastically. "Why can't we be here? It's my responsibility to take care of matters like this.""No, it's not" I snapped, fear engulfing my heart. "We had an agreement. What if people find out we're acquainted? It could cause a whole lot of drama for me. I've suffered enough.""Oh, really?"

Devious plansElizabeth's POV"How dare he treat me like an ordinary stranger?!" I snarled as I strutted into my father's house.I was so enraged by how Adrian treated me, telling me we weren't close enough to be acquaintances. I mean to hell with Acquaintances. We've known each other for decades."Welcome, Madame" The butler stood by the door and greeted me with a bow, but I effortlessly ignored him and walked into the living room.Surprisingly, my father was seated on the sofa with a business magazine in his hands.*I thought he had work to do had the company* I whined inwardly, making up my mind to avoid him.I waltzed to the staircase, but before I could take a step further, his cold voice struck my ears."Where are you coming from, Liz?" He berated.I slowly turned to look at him, expecting to meet his gaze, but he still had his eyes on the newspaper."I..." I trailed off when I recalled that I wasn't good at lying. He could find out the truth by himself.I heard him sigh as he c

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
