Billionaire's wife by Ashleh Queen (best ereader for epub TXT) 📕

Julie's POV

“And, he is my son’s right?” He asked without a moment making me look at him in utter disbelief.

“What do you mean?...” I barely whispered.

“…I am not like your son…how could you?” I don’t know what else was left to see.

“He doesn’t treat you well, and women your age do look for solace in other men’s arm. My question isn’t very strange…it is…” And before he could say something I knew I had to finish this conversation.

“It is…Matteo’s. I know that.” I gritted the words making him inhale deeply as he looks at me. For one this family didn’t have any kind of morality. And, I wonder in what kind of world they think they are?

“Does Matteo know about your pregnancy?” Mr Lucca asked making me gulp hard. Now, was the moment? I don’t know why, but I could see he won’t be of much help.

“No, he doesn’t. He has told me earlier that…he doesn’t want to have kids with me.” He only stared at me for a few seconds before he said, “What have you done woman? You had all these months to win his heart but it seems you hadn’t done anything at all.” I pierced my nails in my palms.

“Nothing can win his heart. And, you know that…” I was trying my best to not leave my control.

“…and, the least I can expect from you now is to help me save my baby…because he won’t blink killing this innocent soul.”

He looked at me for a few moments and took off his glasses to pinch his head before looking back at me. “First…congratulations.  If I could see this baby in my lifetime it will be a pleasure. But convincing Matteo and letting him see how much he should care about his blood should be your responsibility.”

“He will kill me. I know that. If I tried to fight against him for this baby he will kill me. And, the moment I signed up to marry your son…” I didn’t want to think about how happy I was to start my journey with him.

“…I didn’t find myself ending up here.”

“But you two…are family. And, there shouldn’t be anything that you two can’t overcome.” It was enough for me to realize he won’t be any help. I couldn’t help pitying him.

“You do know what he will do, right?” I asked and only find him looking at me straight. I don’t know what he was thinking when he proposed me the job. When…he out of the blue saw that I should marry his son and be part of their family. But I know one thing…either my baby will get a chance at life or I will die with him.

“Just…don’t tell anyone about my pregnancy right now. I will show you what I am capable of.”

I didn’t have any plan when I walked back to my room. And, I wonder how for any fraction of the moment I actually believed that he will be of any help. He was the very reason that I was in this mess.

I had hot tears streaming on my cheeks but this time these were out of anger. I got a green see-through dress out of the closet and tried to get it on but one look at the mirror had me thinking of where I was trapped. The moment I got my conscious the dress was torn in my hands and was everywhere.

“Stay calm…Julie…stay calm. You…will get through it. Something will happen somehow and you will be…” I looked around the closet that seems to narrow down on me. “…you will be out of here. Happy, free and safe with your child. You will have everything once you are done with him. He…will never be able to reach you or harm you.”

I wore the perfume on my neck and looked at my face one more time. And, what stared back wasn’t me anymore. I recalled how I have lied to him that I love him. I know I have become a wrong person and I wonder what other things I will be able to do if it comes to saving my child.

I inhaled sharply before coming to still as I listened to the door being opened. I stood up from the bed and gritted my teeth as he approached, “You look ravishing…” I stretched the right corner of my mouth before asking, “How was your day?”

“What do you think it was like?” It was easy to take notice of his smile. I smiled back and got my hands on his tie that he held before coming to raise my chin with his other hand.

“The mornings are very important for me. And, today…it was special.” I tried to stay put waiting for him to continue. Was he going to get into details about what he did with Sasha or would let me live with my dignity?

“Your breakfast…no, it was finding my wife standing beside me…at my service.” He got his hand on my shoulder.

“I wonder why this fact that I have…” His thumb was pressuring against my neck. “…sole authority on this beautiful territory doesn’t leave my thoughts whole day.” And, the moment his menacing gaze became a lot for me as he leaned in I closed my eyes. His warm breaths were brushing my face.

“It excited me even more. The thought that you love me and my actions hurt you…tell me…how much it hurts…knowing I am with someone else.” His mouth was so close to my ear. I didn’t have much time to figure out what he wanted to hear.

“A lot,” I answered softly. The way he seemed content and calm. I knew this is what he wanted to hear. I hear a chuckle before I felt him against my mouth sucking me slowly. I felt his tongue roaming my mouth as he holds my waist tight and just when I was about to take my hand on his coat to unbutton him he held my hands again.

“We have somewhere to be,” He said making me wonder.

In two hours we two sat in a showroom where luxury cars were displayed. In front of me, there were three Sedan cars in black. It was Rolls Royce, Bentley and Maybach. He had chosen three without asking me in just three minutes as we entered.

“Tell me which one you liked most among them.” He asked making me look at him. I do recall his conversation from the island. I pressed my lips before looking at the cars again. All of them seem intimidating. Definitely, something that would suit him and not me.

“This one.” I pointed to the one that was most near to me. And, it seems a lot less flashy. And, only when he smiled looking at me I turned to see it was Maybach. “I want it customized just like my other cars. And, it has to have our logo…” He was talking to Peter and I walked to that car. I could see my dress that reached my knees. It fits perfectly all over the place and I could see my little baby bump.
