The Billionaire's wife Chapter 14
© S A F I E CHAPTER 14 GABRIEL‘I miss—' I quickly erased the words, frowning down at my phone as I do not know what I shall tell Elle. Sighing in frustration, I tuck my phone inside my pocket and huffed. I stared down at the files on my hand and sigh. I've been going through the different records of the company for the third time now since I couldn’t figure out what to tell Elle. It has been four months and I guess, she wil forgive me it I ever try to reach out to her.Or is that too late now?All I want is for her to be beside me, but I need to let her go, for now. I have to make sure that she is perfectly safe in Paris before I proceed with my plan. Even though it pains me that she is not with me, I have to do this because I want everything to work out with my plan.I barely get a good night sleep for the past four months since I left for Italy. I've been staying at my childhood home near Verona as I check on the new business venture I'm starting up with the Franco's. Worki

© S A F I ECHAPTER 15GABEThe chill that went down my spine made me stop reading the papers as I stared back on the news flashing on the wide TV screen at my childhood home in Verona. The news is about Elle, waddling away next to my sister who is struggling with plastic bags on her hand as both of them ran out of the baby shop. Well, it wasn't because Elle and Neola have gone shopping is the reason why I am surprised; it was the sight of Elle's bulging stomach which she tries to hide away from the crowd. Neola ushered Elle inside the convertible and drove off in a haste.I was about to call for Joe and ask him about this when the female news reporter speak, 'As you can see, we had just witness Mrs. Elleana Cassidy West, wife of the famous businessman and owner of Greene-West Industries, Mr. Gabriel Hugo West, shopping with her husband's sister, Neola Dana West for baby's clothes. We did not hear about Mrs. West for a while and it seems that she’s been keeping us out of the box! Who

© S A F I ECHAPTER 16UNKNOWNI was shocked to see the blue convertible swerve on the side of the road, its tail making contact with the lamp post. I almost swallowed my heart as I witness all of it. Thanking the heavens because the blue convertible has managed to avoid the truck.Lucky driver.I'm pretty sure that if my mom is still alive and is here, this driver will receive an earful from a complete stranger. The driver must've been drunk out of his mind to even pay attention to the road and had bloody gotten into an accident.I pull over to the side of the road, next to the car. Breathing out a sigh, I got out and slowly draw near it. Staring inside the window of the car, I was surprised to see a very pregnant woman, her eyes closed as she bit her lip. The window is half-opened and I am thankful for that - this way he won't have any problem with oxygen. I look down, noticing the blood that is gushing down the road, coming from inside the car.Bloody Hell."Are you okay?" Nice que

©S A F I E CHAPTER 17 NEOLA "Gabe, you can't do this! How could you?" I glared at him as I take a sit on the plastic chair, "Neola, you know and I know that she is more important. We can have a child again if she wanted to. Don't blame me for doing this. I can't lose her." Gabriel pleaded, his eyes looking at me with sorrow. My heart pinches at the sight of him. I almost felt sorry for Gabriel and Elle to have suffered so much in this relationship. I averted my eyes at Gabriel as I say, "But the baby is too precious for her. It would kill her to know that you chose her over her angel." I cannot help the sob that escaped my mouth, my body shaking as I cried harder, "I cannot afford to lose my unborn nephew or niece nor can I lose my only sister!" I whispered, turning my eyes at my dear old brother as he looks down at his feet. Luke sat across me, his lip locked tight as he watches the exchange between me and Gabriel, scratching his ears as he pretended to study the knots on hi

©S A F I E CHAPTER 18 GABRIEL I hesitated, standing in front of the operating room, my eyes puffy as I look back at Neola and Luke. The pair looks nervous yet hopeful, I gave a nod at Luke and was about to approach Neola when the doctor approaches me. The doctor nervously smiled at me before saying, "I am glad to inform you, Mr. West that the baby and Mrs. West are stable." Neola squeaked next to me, her face splitting as she smiled. " It has taken us a while to be able to proceed with the operation because we needed to regulate their vitals. There have been some clotting because of the scarcity of oxygen on their system and we cannot let her give birth naturally because she is so weak to do so. Additional to that, she's unconscious, which results to us performing the caesarean section, come on inside now for the cutting of the cord." The doctor returns in the room without waiting for me. I stole a glance back at the pair before following him in. A nurse appeared beside me a

© S A F I E CHAPTER 19 NEOLA "Gabe? How come you are here?” I whispered to my brother who is sleeping peacefully next to Elle. He bolted up from his seat, his face dishevelled."Oh, I-uh, I fall asleep? Did I fell asleep? " He frowned down at his shoes, scratching his head and looking more like a ripe tomato with his hair rumpled, his shirt wrinkled. “I didn’t expect that I will fall asleep.” He brushes his hands on his face and tried to tame his hair. I could've laughed at him in a different situation but not right now. He looks pitiful; He really is suffering. "How is she?" I ask him, my eyes trained on Elle's face. She has dark circles under her eyes and she looks paler than she used to. I sat across Gabriel, giving him some time to manage his thoughts. "There have been no improvements with her condition. They say that it might take her a while for her body to recover because of what happened." I turn my gaze at him, his eyes were red and he sniffed, averting his eyes, "I

I stared at my watch and waited 10 more seconds, transferring the bouquet on my other hand, looking at the door as the sign changes from 'closed'"Mr. West, you're early again," I smiled at the Liza, the elderly nurse who watches over the neonatal platform. She handed me the usual costume which includes some gowns, cap and a mask. I shrug off my watch and give her my phone before putting on the hospital gown over my suit, hair cover on my head and mask over my mouth.It's been a week after the accident. A week without a response from Elle after the incident of her eye, opening. There's a little to no update from Joe searching for Cherry and Victoria.Though we have figured that Victoria has been undergoing therapy somewhere in Europe that is not disclosed by her brother whom I have to track down for weeks. As for Cherry,

© S A F I E CHAPTER 21 ELLE *dream* I felt so cold. I look around, not understanding why I feel so wet and cold, as though I am drenched with water. I blink my eyes and my vision adjusted, showing me the view of the vast ocean. The sight of it suddenly made me scared and I cowered. In that instant, a man appeared in front of me and my heartbeat doubled. Who is this man? I stared at the man as he struggled with the ropes; His coat was drenched, face ashen as he frowns holding my hand now, which surprises me, "Go to your Mama, Ella!" "But Papa-" "Now, go!" He pushes me, making me stumble off the deck and down to where my mother sat on the bed, comforting my brother. I couldn't fight the curiosity I am feeling as I stared at the woman and her child, cowering from under the broken sails of the ship, the wind blowing wildly, "Mama! What's happening?" Thunder rumbled in the distance and I crouch down, hugging my knees so that I am protected. "Mama, what is happening? Why so lo
