The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

“I… I… have no idea,” she stammered out, looking as confused as I was. I brought out my phone and called Brian, he just finished the tasks I gave him and now he is on his way back to New York to assist Raymond in handling my company. I’m sure Ray would think that I am sending Brian over because I don’t trust him anymore, but that is not the case. The truth is that I want Brian to learn from Ray, I need him to be as tough and efficient as Ray. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still pissed off at Ray, but he is not the top priority here, Hillary is my only focus for now. Charles de Gaulle (CDG), that is where she would be. It is the largest International Airport in Paris and I am pretty sure that that’s where she is going to be headed, that is if she isn’t there already because I have no idea when she had left this house so I don’t know if he is at the airport yet, but I’m sure he would get there know how long she had been away. Brian is my best bet here, he will get there way faster than me because he lodged in a hotel that is closer to the airport.  

“I want all flights at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) international airport canceled for today, nobody leaves that fucking airport until I get there.” I ordered him sternly. I don’t fucking care how he does it, I don’t even care if he has to pull the fire alarm or sets a real fire. I can’t have her disappearing on me, not this time. 

“Where the fuck are you going to, where is Hillary, what the hell is happening?” Avril asked me as I stormed out of Bethany’s room in anger. She ran after me as I walked to the living room. I refused to turn back to her or respond to any of her questions. She did not back down, she ran after me and followed me into the car, refusing to let me go after Hillary alone. I don’t have the time or energy to argue with her, I simply ignored her presence and asked the driver to take me to the airport. I wonder what is going through Hillary’s mind, why would she try to run away, does she hate me that much?

I’ve told her the truth countless times. Although I always speak to her through a closed door, but I’m sure she hears me all the time because she is always standing by that closed door, I can always feel her presence and it’s always so close to me that I can literally feel her body heat through the closed door. I keep thinking hard about her reactions and I keep trying to come up with a solution to all this, but nothing seems to make any sense to me. The sound of my phone's ring tone brought me out of my thoughts, I saw that the caller was Brian, so I picked up immediately.

“I sent a virus to their networks and I pulled the plug on some of their navigation systems, so all flights have been canceled successfully and we are all stuck here at the airport.” He reports in a sarcastic tone. I think he loves this job a little too much if you ask me, that is why I was t him to work closely with Ray. 

“I’m guessing you stopped all flights because of your wife.” He let out.

“And how do you know that?” I asked him.

“Because she is standing at the reception desk, creating a scene and harassing the Airline passenger service assistants. She is really pissed off right now and she is taking out her anger on the staffers at this airport.” He reported once more.

“Good, keep a close eye on her, don’t let her out of your sight. I’ll be there in a few minutes.” I instructed him firmly. I urged the driver to step on the gas pedal and drive through red lights. I got a call from Brian when we were a few miles away from the airport, I was stuck in traffic and he called to tell me that Hillary has left the building. I told him to do whatever it takes to keep her there, I don’t care if he has to ram into her car or even deflate her tires, I just need her to be at that airport when I get there. 

“What are you going to do to her?” Avril muttered softly, making me turn towards her for the first time since we set out to the airport. She has been gazing at me, I feel her eyes on me and now that she has spoken out, I can’t help but wonder what could be going through her mind right now. They must all see me like a monster or something. First, Hillary is running away from me, now her friend is trying to find out if I want to hurt her. For fucks same, what the hell is wrong with everyone?

“Why the hell would you ask me that?” I retorted, sighing deeply as I pull my hand through my hair in frustration.

“I don’t know Nate, you look different from who you used to be and you are scaring the shit out of her with your fierce and tough demeanor. Please don’t hurt her Nate, she has been through a lot already.” She begged softly, making me scoff softly at her words, 

“Why would I want to hurt a woman that I love?” I asked her calmly, making her eyes go wide in shock.

“I love her Avi, and I want her back.”
