Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

When I finally woke up, I found my self in a foreign environment. It didn’t smell like home and was really dark since the light had been turned off. I tried to stand up but that was when I realized that I was tied to the bed.

I recalled what happened earlier and conniption gripped me immediately. Lucas killed Steven before taking me. How was he able to walk freely? I thought he had been jailed.

That is really the least of my problems now as I have to look for a way to get out of here for me, Adrian since he might be so worried about me and I don’t want to add to his troubles and for Adrian.

Since my hands were stretched out by the clothes used to tie them to my sides, I barely managed to sit up. When I was finally able to do that, I decided to pull with all my might and maybe it might come loose.

I pulled on one with all of my might and I had to admit, it hurt a lot. It felt like my bone were breaking since I was trying to squirm my hand out of the cloth but I didn’t stop. My hand was almost out when I heard footsteps approaching me on the bed so I stopped.

I held my breath amd tried to see who it was but couldn’t since the room was so dark. The footsteps finally stopped and when I thought I was safe, I felt a rough hand trail up my bare legs. Out of shock and fear, I flinched and moved away.

“Seems like the sleeping beauty is finally awake.” I heard the person say and recognized the voice immediately.

“Oliver..” I called and at the same time, he turned on the lights. That way, I was finally able to see him in his full glory.

“We meet again princess.” He said as he gave me a very mischievous smile.

“You broke Lucas out of prison?”

“Wow.. I wasn’t really expecting your first question to be that. I was hoping for something more… different. But if that’s what you want to know now, I have no choice but to answer. Yes, I did. I broke him out.”

“Why’s that?”

“To be able to get you. This way, Adrian can’t trace you to me and we are going to have a lot of fun for a very long time.” He whispered as he tried to touch my face but I moved my head.

“Do you think he wouldn’t be able to tell you orchestrated everything? Do you really think that he wouldn’t find out you broke them out?” I asked.

“Oh.. he would. But at that time, it would be too late for you because I would finally be able to have my fun with you.” He muttered making me chuckle heartily.

“You talk like he wouldn’t know that I am missing.” I said.

“He won’t.” He answered with that annoying smirk still playing on his lips.

“How’s that going to be possible?” I asked in a mocking tone.

“You see Ariel, Lucas isn’t the only one I broke out from prison.”

“So?? You really think Adrian would forget about me when he sees that wench?” I asked with a small scoff.

“Not her, you.”

“What is this lunatic talking about?” I asked myself as I gave in a ‘are you alright?’ look.

“Let me break it down for you. Right now, Ariel is at home or rather, Adrian thinks Ariel is at home.”

“Why would he think that??”

“Because of this.” He brought out his phone and showed me a picture of me in my school uniform posing in front of the camera.

I stared at that picture carefully as I could tell that wasn’t me. I have never taken such a photo before. She looks exactly like me. From all of her facial qualities to even the size of her breasts and buttocks. How’s that possible?

“Is that…”

“Alice. With her, Adrian would not be able to tell you ever got into an accident nor would he know that you are missing.” He said.

“What about Steven? Why did you have to kill him if your plan was so perfect?” I asked as I recalled how his head was blown off by Lucas.

“He was going to be a nuisance at one point. It would be hard for him to be silent and Adrian doesn’t even care if he lives or dies.”

“You’re a monster!!” I screamed at his face angrily.

“I can’t deny that but it’s all your husband’s fault. He made me like this and now, I’ll make sure to ruin his life by taking all that belongs to him, starting with you.”

“You’ll pay for this.”

“I know but not so soon. By now, Alice should be enjoying the warm touch of your husband, like she had always wanted. How does it feel to have such dirty thoughts about him and anther woman??”

“Adrian isn’t like that. He would soon find out that something is wrong and he would come looking for me.” I said.

“Maybe.. but at that time, you wouldn’t be the same Ariel je used to know.” He muttered and drew closer to me in an attempt to kiss my lips but I turned to the other side.

I noticed how his mood changed and he gripped my chin harshly, turning me to face him before pressing his lips forcefully on mine. When he was done, I spat out in disgust on his face.

He cleaned the saliva on his face with small cloth before hitting me hard on the face, making my face whip to the other side. Then he gripped my hair, making me face him again.

“Don’t make this harder for you and your baby because I am going to have my way with you whether you like it or not.” He said before he finally let me go.

“I would be back and I hope you won’t resist because I don’t know what I would do to you if you try that again.” He said before leaving me alone on the room.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

The moment he left, the brave front I had been putting on faded away and that tears I had been trying to hold fell freely. What did I ever do to deserve this ill treatment?

And my baby? How are we going to survive it if he eventually comes back? No, I won’t be able to take it. I need to leave here as soon as possible. I sniffed and turned to stare at the cloth that was holding me down.

I just need to try harder so I would be able to leave here alive. I started pulling on the both of them with all my strength. Within seconds, the first one was free.

I was about to do the same with the second hand when the door was suddenly pushed open, so I stopped pulling immediatelyamd placed my freed hand on the rope like it was still tied. I looked up only to see Lucas walking towards me.

“Finally… I have the almighty Ariel at my mercy.” He said as his eyes glittered in happiness. I stared at him quietly as I had nothing to say to him.

“Cat got your tongue? How come you’re speechless? You aren’t boasting about how powerful amd rich your husband is since obviously his power can’t reach you here.” He mocked but I still remained quiet and that kind of got to him. He walked closer to where I was and gripped my neck tightly.

“Do you know how much I’ve laid awake, waiting for this day…. for this chance to be able to make you pay for all you did to me. You ruined my life!!!”

“No!! You ruined your life yourself and I won’t blink twice in doing what I did to you again and again.” I managed to say to him even though his hands were blocking my air flow.

“Really? Then why don’t we end everything here once and for all. Die bitch!!” He shouted as he pressed my neck harder.

Suddenly, I heard a very loud gunshot and Lucas froze immediately. I noticed his mouth open wide and blood started oozing out of his forehead before he fell down dead.

I was shocked and at the same time relieved since I saw him, staring at me in pure happiness. He walked towards me and engaged me in a very tight hug.

“Adrian..” I muttered as I hugged him back tightly.
