All Chapters of The Billioniare Secret Student Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The bedroom door handle slowly turned.Lucy stopped breathing.Hart rushed forward and went to stand in front of her.One arm resting behind him, telling her to stay out of it.Everything about him had changed.The teasing husband of just a few moments was now gone.The ruthless CEO that everyone was afraid of stood in his place.The handle was moved again.Slowly.Hart's eyes narrowed.He looked over to the bedside table.His cellphone was there.No signal.Security system was still all off."Ethan," Hart whispered.Nothing.He pressed the intercom once again.Have everyone move to the east side of the building.Static answered him.Lucy held on to his back of his shirt."Hart..."He glanced over his shoulder."I'm here."What shall we do?"Stay behind me.""But—""Lucy."His voice softened."Please."That one word brought her to a halt.Hart was very rarely polite.She nodded."Okay."He looked back towards the door.The handle came to a stop.Silence.Five seconds passed.Then ten.

Hart didn't breathe.His gaze was on the unoccupied side of the bed.The blanket was still warm.But Lucy was gone."Lucy?"No answer.He went around the bathroom.Empty.The balcony.Empty.His heart raced crazily."Lucy!"He went into the hall."Security!"Ethan came out of the other corridor in less than a few seconds."Sir?""Where is my wife?"Ethan's expression changed.“She was in your room.”"She isn't now.""What?"He was picked up on the shoulder by Hart.Lock up the house!Ethan hurriedly pulled out his cell phone.Everyone, Code Black, everybody stays at the estate.Throughout the mansion, the alarms started going off.The security guards went into the corridors.Hart ran downstairs."Check every exit!""Yes, sir!""Search the gardens!""Yes, sir!"“Look in the basement garage,”Ethan came in second."Sir, no one has come out the outside guards haven't seen anybody leave.She's still here, then.Hart stopped.His mind raced.Somebody had gone off with Lucy but not raised t

Hart looked at the message on his mobile phone.You have 12 hours.For several seconds, he didn't move.Then another came along.Be careful, Mr. Matthew; choose wisely: between your empire and your wife.Hart's eyes hardened.You are wrong!He typed the words.The answer was quick to arrive.**Am I?**A photograph followed.Lucy was sitting on the floor, her back against the wall. She had a few tears in her eyes and her hair was disheveled.Hart's chest tightened.He zoomed in.There wasn't any sign of her being hurt.The only thing that kept him cool was that.His phone rang."Mr. Matthew."The same warped tone."Say what you want!""I already did."You need to have my company.I want you to break it!Hart had his back to the desk."Then you'll let her go," he replied.If you follow the instructions precisely."And if I don't?"A pause.Another photo will be sent to you.Hart's jaw tightened."Don't touch her."The man chuckled in a quiet manner.“You're just starting to get it.”The

“Your Granny is Next.”The message on his phone had his attention and he blinked in shock.Lucy noticed.“What happened?”Hart looked at her. “We’re leaving. Now.”Adrian laughed to himself from across the warehouse. Oh, you still don't get it, Hart, this wasn't about your company.Then, Hart moved closer to Lucy and put himself between her and Adrian.“Stay behind me.”Lucy frowned. Hart, I'm not going to watch you do everything by yourself.His eyes seemed to grow soft for a moment.I know you don't have to be helpless.” His voice lowered. But I can't lose you!She was surprised at the words.She didn't have to wait long before Adrian's expression turned grim.“That's what makes you weak.”Hart ignored him.He took Lucy's hand, and they ran to the door. But this time, Lucy was not dissuaded. Holding on, she ran through the warehouses with them.As soon as they were outside, Hart phoned Madam Matthews.No answer.He called again.Still nothing.His jaw tightened.Drive, he told the d

The study door began to open gradually.Hart promptly pushed Lucy to the rear.“Stay back.”The door gaped open.A man entered the room.Lucy saw him immediately.“Ethan?”Regrettably, Hart looked at the assistant.Where have you been on the planet?”Ethan was gasping for breath, panting slightly torn shirt.The thief struck me at the store.Hart's expression hardened.So how did Adrian get your phone?I don't know, he must have taken it before I escaped.”Lucy stepped closer.“Are you hurt?”Ethan gave a shake to his head.“I'll be fine.”He studied him carefully.“After the attack,?”I followed one of the men; he took me to a disused building, but when I arrived, all was silent.Ethan examined the pictures on the desk.His face changed.“Where did you obtain that?”Lucy held it up.My parents, Hart's father, and me.”Ethan went silent.Hart noticed.“You've experienced this before.”Ethan slowly nodded.“Once.”“When?”“It was presented to me by your father a few years ago.”Hart's
