All Chapters of Captivating The Brutish Billionaire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

~Agathe~I spent hours and hours and hours crying in the library, in a hidden and dark spot where no one would find me.I was screaming, but it was the kind of scream without a voice because that was the only way I could vent my feelings. [Flashback]"We shouldn't talk here, young lady." Yesenia murmured, her eyes darting around nervously, clearly filled with fear. "Let's find another place to talk.”She took hold of my arm and guided me into the mansion. As soon as we were inside, we walked down the hallway and made our way into the private library."There's a cozy reading nook toward the far right side of this library. We can have our conversation there." She said, her tension palpable.Sensing her unease, I remained silent as we made our way to the reading nook she was talking about. "Woah." I whispered in astonishment as we arrived at the reading nook.The reading nook was nestled in the corner, surrounded by dark wood bookshelves. There was a central table and a plush cushioned

~Agathe~I died inside, my heart was profoundly shattered and crushed. She cannot remember Gunther, but those memories can return.It can come back. I married Gunther without realizing that the woman he truly loved was still out there and just could not remember him.“No, this can't be happening.”"Hey, young lady, are you still with me?" Yesenia asked, waving her hand in front of my face as if I had been lost in a daze.I abruptly stood up and left Yesenia without uttering a single word."Young lady! Where are you going?" She called out in a loud voice, clearly taken aback.I was nearly at the door when Yesenia grabbed my arm. "Young lady!" She exclaimed."What?" I shouted back, with tears streaming down my face. Yesenia's eyes widened, and her mouth fell open in surprise."What else do you want me to hear? Yen, for goodness' sake! Carlyle's mother is still alive! She's out there! She may not remember everything now, but what will happen when she eventually does?” I turned to face

~Agathe~It was quite odd seeing myself wearing a dark wig with bangs, thick brown-framed glasses that covered half of my face, and a surgical mask that concealed my nose, mouth, and chin.Yesenia also had me put on one of her spare maid's uniforms.It was a long-sleeved, ankle-length flared skirt, paired with a white apron and a bowknot headband placed atop my head to complete the look.I let out a deep sigh as we both studied my reflection in the mirror. We had managed to sneak into the maid's quarters while everyone else was busy with their daily chores outside.“Is this really necessary? I could simply hide in the trunk of the car, Yen.” I suddenly suggested.“But, how do you plan to get past the reception area in the lobby, young lady? S.G.C. has strict regulations and doesn't permit outsiders to enter the building without an appointment.”"And, I doubt you want the young master's bodyguards in the building to be alerted of your presence, as it would reveal that you had managed t

~Agathe~Much to my surprise, Thaddeus extended his hand, seemingly asking for a handshake. "To our alliance." He uttered, and I nearly let out a chuckle.With a smile on my face, I took his hand and shook it firmly. "To our alliance." I said, quite joyous because it felt like I had been reunited with a long-lost friend.After releasing my hand, he glanced around nervously. "Should we sit down first?" He suggested, gesturing towards the couch positioned in front of a small coffee table.I nodded in agreement, swiftly gathering the maid's uniform and headband. I also picked up the eyeglasses and face mask from the floor.Once we were both settled in our seats, he let out a sigh and looked visibly stressed. "You're lucky that I have finished all the work I needed to do for today. Though I must admit, I'm uncertain about what we should do first."I reached into the pockets of the maid's uniform I had been wearing earlier and pulled out a small zip bag. Carefully, I revealed its contents

~Agathe~"Are you alright, Agathe?” Thaddeus asked after a long period of silence between us. We just got into his car a few minutes ago, and I was seated in the passenger seat next to him.“You know, you could follow Gunther to that bar right now and stop him from whatever nonsense he wants to do. I can deliver the teacup to Dr. Wright by myself. I will inform you when the results are ready."He must have noticed the tears that kept threatening to fall from my eyes.It took me a while before I let out a sigh and shook my head in response. “No, I have to see this through. Besides, I was the one who asked for your help. I need to finish it with you.”Thaddeus sincerely smiled and nodded at me. "Alright. Then, I will make sure to bring you back to Gunther's mansion as quickly as possible." He assured me.A sense of relief washed over me, grateful that Thaddeus seemed to understand my desire to talk to Gunther later and offer my apologies once this was over.He finally started the engine
