All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Bartered Bride : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Monday, two days after her confrontation with Rafael, Nicole went to work because she had to not because she wanted to, she had work that she couldn't finish because she had left when she had angrily gone back home, she would have gone to Aron's studio if she had been in a good mood but she wasn't so she decided to work in her office instead, she told one of the staff to bring a drawing board and the other things she needed to her office where she spent almost all of her Monday in, she only left when she had to eat lunch and then again when she had to go drop something off at the airport for an overseas client, she didn't want to bother anybody with it so she had gone herself, she passed by Rafael's office, looked up at it as she waited for the light to turn red, she could go there and talk to him, all she needed to do was make a turn but she didn't, she drove right ahead without looking back, when she came back to the office, she met Kris there, she was crying."Hey Kris, what's goin

Rafael closed from work and went home, he was much too tired to do anything else than go to sleep, he should have talked better with Nicole but she had been so stubborn it was her safety he was talking about they she had told him to mind his business, that had hurt more than anything and he regret everything that he said to her, yes, she was right for blaming him, this was all his fault, if didn't have so many people trying to bring him down then Nicole won't have had to face what she was facing, it was his fault, if staying away from her would fix that then he would, the caller has not called him back and his security officer told him earlier that the number was untraceable, he was scared, scared for Nicole but like she also said, she was from an influencial family and her house is protected so the extra security might not be needed, but what he couldn't look pass was that there weren't much security at her work place and there wasn't any at the damn studio she always visits, what if

Nicole looked around in fear, it took forever for them to get here and when they finally did, they had brought her to this room and left her here, still blindfolded, but they later came back and removed her blindfolded, but still left her hands tied, she was alone in the room and no sight of Natie, she had been right, they didn't have her they just used it to get her to comply easily.The door opened and the younger of the two men came in"You are still awake? Good, your sister is here, so you guys can keep each other company until your fate is decided,"He said and went out, when he came back he was carrying Natalie who was unconscious."What did you do to her? What happened to her?"She asked in fear, she looked so lifeless."Well, she wasn't as comparative as you were so she had to be drugged, it will wear off, get some rest,"The guy said, he didn't look like he was a bad person but he was doing this which means he was a bad person"Why are you doing this? Why?"She sobbed."This

Rafael had a crappy night and was awake the next morning, looking like a walking dead, he should have known Leonard would pull a stunt like this, he should have seen it coming but he hadn't thought Leonard would pull the stunt on him, why didn't he think of that knowing that Leonard had a grudge against him for being the main reason his evil deeds were found out, now Nicole would suffer the consequences of his actions, not just her but her sister too, he was going to meet up with their parents this morning again and he still didn't know how to face them, he had spent the whole of yesterday finding any possible means of knowing their whereabouts but nothing, there was no call from the kidnaper either, it was just quiet everywhere yet so loud, the police were on it, but still no lead, the prime suspect still remind Leonard but no one knew where he was, his wife and family members all swore they haven't seen him since he supposedly ran off from prison, Rafael didn't trust them at all and

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
