A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 20
Daniella's Pov“Apparently, her parents coerced her into the marriage because of my wealth. It was all about the money… all about it. But then and there I wanted to throw away all the confession she made if only she could look into my eyes and tell me she loved me a little bit. She didn't..” he said, looking all emotional.I really don't know what to say or how to react right now. How could I have known Javier is this broken on the inside?All the while I thought he would be the reason why his ex-wife left, but I was wrong. A part of me felt guilty for accusing him so wrongly in my thoughts.He had loved Victoria, I could see that in his glistening eyes as he told his story. He had loved her and she broke him beyond words. What could I do to console him?I found myself taking slow steps towards him and soon, I was beside him. With shaking hands, I gently guided his head to rest in the embrace of my arms.. Surprisingly, he didn't resist. “Do you know what hurt the most?” He asked and

Javier’s PovI went over to my wine cellar and took out a bottle of my regular alcohol and a wine glass. Placing them on my desk, I poured some into my wine glass which I gulped down at once. It's been two hours since Dr. Montes came and took the blood sample of Victoria’s baby for a DNA test. Should the result turn out to be true, what should I do? How am I going to react to this sudden news?No. It can't be true. I know that I was drunk that night, but I'm almost certain I didn't touch Victoria. My train of thoughts was interrupted by a light knock at the door before it opened. I turned to see Daniella come in. She carried with her a tray containing a teapot set. My guess would be coffee in there. I haven't spoken to her after last night — probably couldn't look her in the eye now. I've just locked myself up in this study of mine, trying to distract myself from thoughts of Victoria and her mysterious child. So far it's not working. “I made you coffee.” She said, placing the tray

Daniella's PovThe hot sun seems to be piercing into my skin like needles, it could have been doing the same to my head and face if I hadn't cover it with my sun hat. I've been in the plantation since morning, seeding for the season that seems to be fast approaching because of the harsh sun."Jeez! This summer season is a hot one, I wonder when we'd enter winter…my skin can't bear the harshness of this summer any longer." Helena said with a pout which made me chuckle on her cuteness.Helena Soler is my childhood best friend, we do a lot of things together mostly sharing our happy and sad lives together. Just like me, she's from a pauper family. We work for people's planation in exchange for money, that's how we do to earn a living in this simple lives of ours."C'mon princess, it's little already so let's round up quickly so our skin won't get tanned!" I half yelled to her because she's across the fields."You know, I wish a prince charming can come and sweep me off my pauper's life."
A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 2
Daniella's PovI sat across from him, he had his leg crossed with cigar trapped in his lips and so much smoke seemed to form clouds around him."How much money do you need?" He asked, pulling the cigarette away from his lip without sparing a glance at my direction."Twenty-five thousand euros." I said, nervously. I think that made him pause and turned his head to my direction."Twenty-five thousand…" He responded, as if tasting the words in his mouth. "What do you need twenty-five thousand for?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows at me."To pay a debt my father owes." I said, not wishing to meet his gaze."Let me get this straight…you want to borrow to repay the one you borrowed. Let me guess, your father is a worthless drunk who had to borrow money to support his drunken life. I do get it, but why will he borrow such an amount for some useless reasons when he knows he can't pay back?" He said casually as if telling a story.And he just insulted my father!"Listen sir, you don't know wh

Daniella's Pov"Do you accept this offer?""I rather die alongside my father than sell my body to you!" I spat out in anger.I got up and made my way out of his office, slamming the door shut behind me. He's such a bastard!🔹🔹🔹"Are you sure he really said that?" Helena asked after I had told her what Mr. Ruiz had said."Yes he did.""He didn't seem to be that kind of man according to what I heard." Helena said, lost in thoughts."People of his status appears to be noble men for their reputation sake, but when they are in doors they are wolves." I spat out in pure irritation."What will you do now? How are you going to raise twenty-five thousand in such a short period of time?" Helena asked, concerned.That's where my problem lies, how am I going to raise such a huge amount of money in just one week?! To be honest, Mr. Ruiz was my only hope, now I am lost on what to do now or who to run to now.🔹🔹🔹It's been a week now and no sign of Carlos or his men, maybe they have informatio

Daniella's PovNow I'm standing in front of his study room, the man in black tuxedo as usual gave a light knock on the door before he opened it and motioned for me to go in which I did after giving him a small smile. Unlike my other visits, there is no sign of him here.If he's not here, why was I brought here?The door creaking open got my attention and I turn around to see who it was. it turns out to be him. He paused for a moment when his eyes landed on mine."Good afternoon, sir." I greeted with a small smile.He walked in and closed the door behind him, completely ignoring me. He walked over to his desk and took a seat."What are you doing here?" He asked, opening his laptop and not sparing a glance at my direction."I came here to say thank you for saving me the other day." I said, feeling awakard."Is that all?" He asked like my words didn't mean much to him, his focus still on his laptop.Hearing him say that makes me feel so stupid, I shouldn't have come here!"Yes…I'll be on
A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 5
Javier's PovAfter I kissed Natalia's forehead I turned off her lamplight by her bed and made my way out of her room quietly. I made my way downstairs and towards the wine cellar to grab myself a bottle before heading to bed. To my surprise the kitchen lights were on. Cautiously, I walked further into the kitchen to see nanny Penelope. She was having a glass of water. She seemed surprised to see me as well.Why is she still up till this time?"You are still awake?" She asked."I was about heading to bed, just wanted to grab a bottle of wine to tag along." I said with a shrug."Will you be needing anything else Javier?" She asked."No, thank you." Nanny Penelope had been my nanny since childhood. Even after my parents passed away, she stepped in as a parent figure for me and she had single handedly raised me into the man I am right now. And now she's not just taking care of me but my daughter as well. At times I really don't know how I can appreciate her for her kindness and loyalty.
