Billionaire's Captive Chapter 36
Joanne -I honestly will never understand how these wealthy people walk and talk.I thought it would just be a friendly dinner for Trevor Jones, the man of the hour, who took it in his time to invite these people over to celebrate his birthday with him.And I thought we would all just have dinner and head home. Maybe after a few toasts or whatever.But boy, was I wrong? Again.I will never be right with these people.It wasn’t dinner at all, but hell.And I should have seen this coming, for the fact that I’ve spent time with these women at the ale-o house and would have known what they were like.We were all supposed to be having dinner, but yet it feels like an interrogation center.What happened to everyone’s table manners? Don't talk while eating.Even the juicy sauced stake that has been blemishing my brain for a bite has run far from my appetite, all thanks to the tight spot the woman around the table had created.The men had quietly ignored every conversation, leaving the ladies

JOANNE-Trinity shut the door behind her, and I found myself gulping like a drowning alpaca.Why the hell was Hardy here?“What are y--His massive strides towards where I was caused my breath to seize, and I stopped talking and slowly took a step back.I stopped walking when my calves hit the bunk of my bed, causing me to heavily take a seat.I shot up immediately.“Tonight..” Hardy began.He looked more than drunk.“What did you and Trevor do?” He asked again, getting close.“Like he said, we did nothing."“And you just had to go for a bathroom break when he said the same darn thing. Stop lying to me!” He yelled.Who let his horses out of his stables? Why was he getting angry?“Because I had to pee, you didn’t think I was running away or something?” I scoffed.“Do you think this is funny?”He finally got close to me, and his height towered over mine.I shook my head. “I’m not even laughing.”“Exactly,” He grabbed my chin with his fingers.What the hell was he talking about?“I brou

JOANNE-I was quite frozen for a while, both my hands in the air and my eyes almost budging out, thanks to the man lying against half of my body. His hands were firmly wrapped around my waists, like he owned them.I knew he was drunk, but that didn’t leave room to stupidly not realise the woman he was holding is Joanne and no one else.Slowly, I brought my hanging hands down, and not knowing where to drop them, I let one fall on the back of Hardy’s head and the other one to his sides.He was stricken quiet, and I was a bit nervous. This was another new side of him I hadn’t seen.A side he would never intend to show me, because I am nothing to him.Maybe being drunk once in a while is a good thing.I didn’t know what came over me when I started to stroke the back of his head, letting his thick black hair sweep the passings of my fingers.Immediately I realised it was Hardy I was touching. I pulled my hand to myself and gritted my teeth in horror, imagining the many things he might do
Billionaire's Captive Chapter 39
JOANNE-I woke up the next morning to an empty bed.There was no trail of Hardy, who had fallen asleep last night after our almost-body-thriving sex.I shook off last night’s thoughts that were slowly starting to creep in and slowly sat up.My mind had clearly done a better job at shaking it off, but my body still remembered every part of me he kissed and touched.I kissed my teeth and rolled my eyes in annoyance. Somehow it still wouldn’t leave my mind.Hardy was really gentle. It almost didn’t feel like Hardy.Was Trinity right all along? Could I possibly induce Hardy to develop feelings for me that influence his demeanor towards me towards becoming less aggressive?I shook my head. I shouldn’t let Trinity’s words dig deep.It sounded too crazy.I tried to imagine myself in love with Hardy or the other way around.And it made me shudder and gave me cold feet.He was the devil’s spawn. And they only manipulate, bend, shape, and use people in any form they want and like.Last night h

JOANNE-Bailey? My Bailey, and her father? Found?My head felt light and my body felt spritzed, but I kept up a really good composure and decided to listen more.Theodore’s voice was subtle but thankfully audible.“They were found at a bar in this almost unknown town, and one of your men who had been residing there saw them, thanks to the fact that the information reached him.”“Good job,” Hardy’s voice took over. “I want her back at Villa; she and her damn father. She tricked me and pushed someone else to pay her debt.”Hardy sounded pained, and my heart twitched a little. Not my heart, but something below my heart.Maybe a muscle twitch.“You wouldn’t believe this.” Theodore's voice began to sound low, so I took a giant stride forward, which caused the flip-flops on my feet to drag and shuffle.Theodore stopped talking, and I realized it was solely because of my noises.I immediately turned around and dashed back into my room.Suddenly, my head was all over the place, my breathin

-JOANNE“You’re pregnant?”“For how long?”“Already?”The questions all came at me at once, and I found myself heaving."Oops,” I bite my bottom lip. “I wasn’t supposed to say that. Hardy and I wanted to keep a secret until birth day.” I lied with a smile.I had all the attention in the room now, and I knew instantly that Anne had lost this round.I was playing a big role now, and I had no chance to mess it up anyway.I was starting to fit into their puzzle. And I was starting to become the biggest piece.“Don’t worry, whatever happens in the white Aleo house stays with us here. Your secret is safe with us” Aneesa nodded.“She’s right,” Ruby added, adjusting the fancy bracelet around her wrist.It was no mystery; I was pregnant, and Hardy had given me permission to declare my pregnancy to these women in order to elevate me above the rest of them and leave them in a rage of envy. Because, while they may not say anything, three out of them all, also want to become pregnant.Everything

JOANNE-The night the women of the Ale-o house threw a celebratory party for Lisa was the night she died.Theodore didn’t seem to care about my frozen state. He continued speaking.“I hope you realize that Hardy is walking you down the same path. It’s all for his big investigation. He knew Lisa would never commit suicide. The police and a lot of powerful people were involved in this case, but none registered it as homicide. But suicide. Until he hired a private investigator who proved that Lisa’s death was indeed a homicide, A few days later, Hardy received a letter that came in an actual envelope saying everything Hardy has ever had will be taken away from him, no matter how much he renews them, and he or she will make sure Hardy never finds true happiness. Ever since that day, Hardy hasn’t remained the same. Because it all just proves someone was onto Hardy and gave Lisa a clean death with her unborn child.” Theodore paused to catch his breath.A little too soon, he continued.“

HARDY’s POVJoanne’s face morphs from an intense state of loss to horror the moment she sees me standing by her door.I watched her slowly pull the blanket above her body and clutch it tighter.What is she supposed to mean by that?“Joanne McCain, are you trying to starve and kill my child?” She slowly started to sit up while I took a massive stride towards her bed.She looked away, and I caught her rolling her eyes.Typical Joanne.“I’m not hungry,” she says, shaking her head.“Like I give a fuck,” I deadpanned and caught as she engulfed hard."Well, it’s my body, and I’m not eating,” she said, shaking her head.Stubborn as always.“Trust me. You do not want me to force food down your throat. Do you?” I glowered at her.I almost saw a glimpse of fear across her face, but she tossed it immediately and replaced it with anger.“I hope, while forcing the food down my throat, you clog my throat and kill me instead.” Her voice was almost quiet, but that was the most wicked thing I’ve hear
