**IN AMERICA**

Faint groans mixed with the gentle clicks of the French luxury leather black shoe against the marble floor were all that was heard until Eduardo halted. His gaze was transfixed on the men lying almost lifeless on the floor, blood pooled around them in their clothes turned rags.

"After so much torture, they're still claiming not to know where she is hiding. They don't even want to speak about what happened on that night she was supposed to be killed." Scott, his personal assistant said, bowing slightly at his arrival.

"Really?" Eduardo scoffed. "So, Matilda suddenly rose from the dead and grew wings to foil my plans? What happened to the killing I ordered? Nobody could complete such a simple task!" His last words came out in a frustrated yell that had every guard in the vault bowing their heads in shame.

Scott drew in a sharp breath, quietly waiting for his boss's anger to subside a little. "Personally, I think this will lead us nowhere. We should increase our search for

  • Entangled with the Imperious Billionaire    Chapter 9 - An unprepared trip.

    Staring at the stylized monogram 'X.V.LR' boldly written on the luxurious golden airframe, Matilda stood there contemplating whether to go inside or not, her long blonde hair dancing in the air behind her. Racing thoughts that made her escape reality filled her head as barely any of the things happening in the hangar came to her notice. Just the night before, she had returned to where her legs took her and that led to an unprepared trip the next day. After signing the divorce papers, her lawyer had prepared and sent them to her husband, now turned Ex; the only thing that came to mind was voluntarily heading into the mansion of a man she barely knew. A man whom she was yet to uncover his identity fully. But it was better for her. It was better than staying with people she believed she trusted, but it turned out they could decide out of nowhere to torture and end her life like she never existed. But, why was she suddenly hesitating? Until then, she was only determined to leave N

    "Breakfast is ready, ma'am." The maid knocked twice before announcing."I'll be downstairs in a bit."She left afterward, and the door opened shortly, revealing Matilda fully dressed in a yellow jumpsuit paired with black ankle strap heels and a matching bag. She quietly shut the door behind her and made her way to the dining area.Upon getting closer, she found Eduardo and Tiffany already eating together as they sat beside each other. It was just the two of them there but immediately Tiffany noticed her presence, she went further by acting all clingy around Eduardo. Something Matilda once did on daily basis, and it irked her so much, but she tried not to let her anger get the best part of her.She didn't walk back into the marriage, just to get back with a cheating husband. Especially not one who almost had her killed intentionally. Knowing fully well that her life was already in danger, the only thing on her mind was to get back everything they stole from her. Even if it required r

    Inside a tall and giant building, men and women of prominence and high status walked around in the well decorated and fancied hall. Some ate and drank on chairs and tables set in order, some stood with the bereaved family to console them while some rather discussed businesses, using the gathering as a means of getting more business connections.A soft instrumental music played in the background, entertaining those who cared to listen. Today was the funeral which the Smiths' family prepared for the supposed dead Matilda Smith, and they were precisely in the reception after they've buried a body they didn't know was only a replacement.The instrumental music finally ended, earning a loud ovation from the audience and that was when Eduardo walked up to the stage. His expression was looking very much sad, just as how it had been since his wife's death was pronounced to the whole country.“First, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who made it here today. I truly app

    “His room is at the far end of the hallway. Turn to the right door and knock gently. Remember ma'am, gently as he hates noises.” Those words from the servants replayed in Matilda's head as she stood in front of the door.She made to knock on the door gently like she was told earlier, but her hands would halt midway near the door, just as it had been for over a minute now. Despite summoning courage a while ago to come and see Xander, it seemed like all her courage suddenly disappeared now that she was in front of his door. She wanted to know why he saved her and brought her to his mansion, and her mind couldn't accept the fact that the same man who had killed a person in her presence rescued her from her harsh reality. It just sounded unbelievable to her.Finally mustering her courage once again, she shut her eyes and took three consecutive deep and sharp breaths, acting like she was going to face a challenge or something. She opened her eyes and knocked twice quickly on the door.“C

    “I cross-examined her, and she is okay now. She fainted due to shock and would wake up in a short while. So, when she does, she should eat and take the drugs to relieve her of after effects like headaches.” The doctor explained after packing his things into his box.He turned to Xander and bowed, “I'll take my leave now.” He quietly filed out of the room, and Bruno followed him to settle the bills.Xander remained in the room, alone with an unconscious Matilda on the bed. All the time the doctor had given his instructions, he was barely listening as his attention was fully focused on Matilda. Despite her long dark-blonde curly hair scattered over her face, he still didn't fail to take in the shape of her almond like eyes, pointed nose, mouth in the form of a heart and her overall oval-shaped face. His eyes trailed down to her feet, even when she was covered in a duvet. Then, they moved back to her face.His expression was neutral, yet his mind was slightly bothered. For the first tim
