The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

“What do you think Hills, do you think they will end up together?” Avril asked me while we were packing our stuff together. We are getting ready to leave this warehouse and move to a better house, we have been here for one month and nothing has gone wrong, no attacks and no stalkers on our trail. Becky and Miguel have left to buy some supplies for our new house, while Ariel and I are putting all our stuff together so we can be ready to leave by evening today. I don’t know why she is asking me this, I mean, we both know that Miguel and Becky do not see eye to eye, they have never sat together for even a second. I guess she must have seen the way they look at each other, the warmth in their eyes when they stare at each other, they share the same look that Nathan and I used to have before I summoned the courage to kiss him publicly. That kiss had been the beginning of such a beautiful relationship, despite the fact that we ended up this way, I still have no regrets. If we were to go back in time, I would still kiss him again, I would still love him and marry him secretly if he asks me to, but I’ll never let him go on that stupid trip, I would stop him from leaving me all alone. But Miguel and Becky are just too stubborn, I wonder who among them would be courageous enough to open up and share their feelings.

“Your guess is as good as mine, Avi. I hope they open up soon because I’m tired of watching their childish display, it is so fucking annoying.” I responded to her, causing her to chuckle softly. We finished packing up everything, then we had our baths and sat down in front of the TV, killing time while we waited for them to arrive. We waited and waited for almost eight hours, but they didn’t show up. We tried calling them but they weren’t picking up either. It was getting late and we were beginning to panic, Miguel would never stay out this late without calling to inform us of his reason for being late, and he always takes my call after the first ring. This is so unusual and it’s scaring the shit out of me. Avril and I couldn’t sit still anymore, we were watching our favorite shows on TV, but right now, it’s no longer interesting to either of us. Even with the pains I’m having from my injuries, I still couldn’t sit still anymore. We were both so agitated that we could only pace the warehouse in our nervous state, praying that they both come back safe and sound.

There is a bridge that leads to the warehouse, Miguel had installed some cameras on the bridge so we can see if anyone is trying to cross the bridge and come into the warehouse. That is why Avril stood in front of the monitor, watching to see when they arrive. She had been there for hours now, yet nothing. I couldn’t even stare at the screen with her, I’m too shaken to sit or stand in a particular place right now. All I can do now is to pace the warehouse before I go crazy with nervousness. We saw a red Range Rover passing the bridge that leads to the warehouse. That is not the car they had left with, it’s not even our car. A few minutes later, we heard the screeching sound of the car as it halted in front of the entrance. I was about to run down to the door to check out what was wrong with them, but Avril stopped me before I even took two steps. She dragged me back with a stern look on her face, reminding me of Miguel’s earlier warnings. He has always been security conscious and be had warned us never to rush to the door in this kind of situation. He left some unloaded weapons at strategic points in the warehouse, he taught Avril and I how to load the guns and how to aim and shoot our targets. Becky didn’t join us in our lessons because she already knows how to use her weapons. Avril pulled me to a hiding spot, then we loaded our weapons and waited for the door to be pushed open.

A few minutes later, the door pushed open and they both came running into the warehouse, with Becky panting so hard in fear. I heaved a sigh of relief when we saw that it was them afterall. We both ran out of our hiding place, running towards them, asking so many questions at once, but they had no time to answer any of our questions. Becky was still trying to catch her breath and all Miguel could say was, 

“Move everything into the SUV, we have to leave right now, we can’t stay here tonight, they found us and they are coming.”
