Billionaire's Captive Chapter 51
-JOANNEI’ve never wanted something so bad. I couldn’t take my eyes of the enormous painting in the room, it was beyond amazing and alluring. I have never been to events like this in my dear life and despite the castle itself being fascinating, this painting was beyond words.It wasn’t just exquisite, exceeding clarity, temptation, and wholesomeness. It was getting me all excited and I couldn’t dare to take my eyes of it.Even when Trevor asked if he could get it for me, I had shifted my eyes from the paintings to him, only to have the image already imprinting in my brain. “Why would you?” I had to ask Trevor because it seemed like it would take my entire life to afford it.But I knew he was wealthy, and he would simply snap his fingers and obtain it for me. But why should he?We were not even close. arguably we spoke once when he celebrated his birthday. And just a few minutes earlier, we had been laughing and discussing about a waiter who was carefully trying to hide a glass of

JOANNE-The entire evening, I felt like the brightest star in the sky. Hardy had told me to actually wear my shoulders high, and I had listened to him.It was my first auction, and I actually got what I wanted.I've never had the opportunity to possess what I longed for.Back in the bustling city of Bronx, I worked tirelessly day after day, striving to survive like an animal.I had little opportunity to truly desire things for my own sake. And even though I managed to get them, they were still beyond my financial means.But now here I was, and it wasn't like this life would last forever. But I finally experienced what it's like to acquire what you really desire. And what it felt like to live in luxury.I wouldn't mind ending things right now; I could die peacefully knowing I had lived. A painting with millions, all in my hands.Money felt a bit like magic.I glanced over at Hardy, noticing his uneasiness and how frequently he checked his phone.I decided to seize the moment and ask r

HARDY- I Walked back into the grand ballroom and my eyes desperately started to search for Joanne. The infuriating prick who had immaturely sent out that confidential email had truly managed to irritate me tonight, pushing me to the brink of frustration. Maybe not just a bit. But a whole lot. The realization that the person responsible for Lisa's death was in the same room as Joanne and me left me feeling utterly dismayed. I was consumed with an overwhelming desire to take revenge, to inflict the same pain upon them as they had inflicted upon Lisa.Clearly, the person who sent that email and had Trinity deliver that message on their behalf possesses a level of intelligence far surpassing my own. They must be observing me closely from within the same room, meticulously monitoring my every action and noting how I periodically glance at my phone. It is evident that they have successfully encouraged panic and fury within me, precisely as they wanted.My anger consumed me, drivi

JOANNE-My head was spinning and I was trying to breathe through my nose as my heavy eyes started acting on its own.My legs had become extremely weak. I was sobbing like a child.Few minutes ago I thought I was going to die— get taken away from Hardy, get heavily tortured to death and die, or face something extremely worst.The woman named Leilani turned out to be quite misleading, as she somehow managed to manipulate Hardy's phone call and voice to convince me to leave with her.However, it was at the very moment I began to have faith in my instinct that we decided to venture towards the rear of the castle, rather than the more conventional front entrance, as our car happened to be parked there. I had a feeling that Leilani couldn't be trusted, even with Hardy's approval. Deceptive endorsement.As doubts began to creep into my mind, our journey took an unexpected turn. Her demeanor grew tense, and she swiftly ushered me into a nearby vehicle that was already parked.I decided to

JOANNE- “Gracious goodness!” Trinity’s words, flushed cheeks and heaved breath made me burst out into an hysterical laugh, that didn’t stop even after five minutes. Her heavy gawk on the painting in my room was so funny, it needed a Framed picture.“Wh— how..She couldn’t find her words.I stopped laughing and walked closer to the painting that was now hanging in the wall of my roof.It looked more than perfect now as my own. It had arrived today after getting it two days ago and the drillers who did the job did exactly good and pinned it to the part where I wanted it on my wall.“This is too much,” Trinity cried.I laughed. “It’s perfect,”“No… trust me it’s way too…She shook her head.“Tempting?” I bumped my shoulder into hers.“Gosh,” she glared at me. “I was going to say sensual.”“It’s sensual, yes. And tempting, doesn’t it makes you feel like you want two masculine strong arms weighing you down and pinning you to a b—“Joanne please.” Trinity interrupted, a mixture of frig

-JOANNE contd.“What the fuck are you on about?” My voice wasn’t loud, but it was stern enough to prove that I was mad.What the hell did she mean? ‘What else do I want from her?“I mean, yeah, I deceived you; I fabricated your name in my contract, the signatures, and everything. But look at you; you look better than me. You look like you’re actually enjoying your life here.” She proceeded to end her words with another eye roll.“Are you serious right now?” I scoffed.“You know me better than anyone, so yeah, you should know when I’m serious.”I shook my head. “No, Bailey. I thought I knew you, but it turns out that I don’t, not one bit. I lived with a snake, and I didn’t even know about that.”“A snake!” she laughed, her bright red lipstick menacingly matching her red leather skirt. “Thanks to this snake, you’re living a fancy life and out of our crappy old life at Bronx.”“Where the hell are you getting at?” I squinted.What the fuck was she trying to say?“I’m not trying to get any

JOANNE—I was crying furiously in my room, my chest heaving up and down as I tried to conceal the tears.Bailey had made no attempt to feel sorry for me. The door was pushed open, and Theo walked inside. "What did she say to you?" He entreated. I shook my head.“I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have let you meet them,” Theo said ruefully.“It’s okay,” I added. “It’s not your fault. Thank you for letting me meet her.” I wiped my tears.It instantly gave me more room to never stop feeling sorry for her.She has hated me for years.And I’ve been here all along, thinking she didn’t deserve any of these.When all she was scared about was snatching a life she thought I was enjoying,.“I’m sorry, they’ve been sent back,” Theo added.I wiped my tears and took a deep breath.Theo and I remained quiet and just let our thoughts settle in with the silence. Maybe me, because I couldn’t tell what he was thinking as he glanced at me once or twice.“It’s all going to be okay,” he sighed."Hopefully,” I mumbl

JOANNE-The day was getting darker; rain clouds had seeped into the evening sky and immediately transformed every bright-looking cloud into a figure of gloom.The air had gone cold, and I found arms constantly getting wrapped in front of me.Hardy had left the hotel room, telling me to stay intact and not to go out because he would be back.I listened because I never wanted what happened last time to happen again.I started to move around the room again. It was a one-bedroom hotel room with a queen-sized bed at the centre, a small water dispenser at one end, and a cute drawer sitting on the bed.The room was quite small but looked cosy and fancy; it had high walls with an eccentric light blue paint on its walls. A warm chandelier light hangs directly above the bed, and some nightlights surround the corners. Just four feet away from the bed, there was a glass door that held a three-person balcony behind it. Opposite the balcony was a walk-in closet, and at the centre and other ends of
