The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

“You think I chose to stay away from my wife all these years?

You have no idea what I have been through all these years, you have no fucking idea. But I won’t stand here and grace you with an explanation because you don’t deserve one from me. You have no right to tell me if I can be with her or not, so I’ll advise you to stay the hell out of my affairs and let me handle it myself.” I scolded her furiously, making her eyes go wide in shock. Then I turned my attention back to Miguel who has been pressing his phone all along, trying to get through to his brother, I guess.

“And as for you, you had better start talking before I pounce on you.” I yelled at him, causing him to nod his head affirmatively, putting his phone away as he started talking.

First, he told me how he had snuck in as a guard when Costello was recruiting guards for me. He and his brother were working together, trying to clear their family's name. When they found out about Travis’s plans, it was too late to warn me so they decided to do all they can to save the situation. He was stuck with Hilly while his brother was stuck with me. He told me how Hillary was attacked by Ariel and how she nearly succeeded in killing her multiple times. Even Avril was attacked as well and she would have been killed too if he wasn’t there to protect them both and save them from Ariel and Travis.

The last attempt on Hillary’s life was on the day of my burial. She had tried to announce to everyone that she was my wife, she had tried to stop them from burying an empty casket for me, but Ariel had other plans for her. I can’t believe that she would still fight for me even after the cops have concluded that I was already dead. She had nearly died because of me, she had nearly lost the kids because of me. If not for that other rude girl who he identified as Becky, if not for her, Becky would have died with my kids in her stomach. They had all worked so hard to keep her alive. They had to run out of the country because Ariel refused to give up until she killed her. They thought they had escaped but Ariel was tracking them with the card I had given to Hillary before I left, I don’t know how she keep about it and I don’t even know how she had managed to put a tracker on that card, I guess I should change my account officers as well because they had no right to approve such request without my permission. They are the reason why she had withdrawn enough money to start a new life before disappearing into thin air. And here I was thinking that she had run away with my money to go be with another man. 

“Who is that Lawrence guy and why did you let her hang out with him when you knew I was alive and back?” I asked him furiously, causing Avril to widen her eyes in shock.

“W… Wh... What the hell is he talking about, Miguel?

Please tell me he is lying, tell me you didn’t know that he was alive all this while,” she let out in shock, turning to gaze into his eyes. He looked away from her in shame, trying to avoid her eyes, confirming to her that I am saying the truth.

“Jesus Christ, Miguel!

What the hell is wrong with you, how could you do this to her, why didn’t you say anything to anyone?
