The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

This is why we never considered him or his father when we were planning on the different ways to get back with the Trents. They can never be trusted, not one bit. He could have used that information to try and bring the families back together, but he chose to use it for blackmail. The old Trent doesn’t want this secret to be exposed, that is why he had accepted to lure Nate into boarding that plane. If Ray had not been there, he would not have survived that plane crash. I still don’t know if they are dead or alive, it’s taking longer than we anticipated, he should have been out of that island already. The plan was to get Nathan and get off the island. If the threat is too great for you alone, send for help. But so far, he hasn’t come out yet, and he hasn’t requested for help from us, so I just have to sit right and wait. I can’t even go to the cops because there are a few dirty cops among them. Both Travis and Ariel have a few bad cops on their payroll, they could report back to them and it could get my brother and Nathan killed. I can’t make any wrong call, I can’t make any wrong decision until I hear from Raymond, I only have to protect Hillary and keep her safe until her husband returns home to her.

I noticed the black Sedan following her and I knew immediately that they were sent by Ariel, I’ve seen them before, they have been chasing us for a very long time now, I’m sure I can recognize them anywhere. I brought out my gun that is safely hidden under the car seat and I stepped on the gas pedal, increasing the speed of the car. When I got to their position, I aimed at the driver and shot at him, causing the car to lose control and spin off the highway. All the while, Hillary Trent never knew what was happening behind her, she just kept driving forward, heading to the cathedral.

I watched from a distance as their car kept spinning out of control, when it finally stopped, I approach the car, my gun in front of me, pointing at the car. They were only two guys in the car and one of them was dead already, while the other guy was struggling with the airbag, trying to break free. I got there faster, hitting him hard on the head with my gun handle, making him pass out immediately. A crowd was gathering around the scene and soon the cops would arrive here, so I got their phones and other items I could lay my hand on, I left their weapons where the cops would find them easily, then I ran off to my car, leaving them to the cops. One of the phones was ringing continuously, so I picked it up, but I kept mute on my end, waiting for the caller to speak up. 

“I’m in position and all the other exits have been blocked off. You just have to make sure she doesn’t turn around and head back to the hotel, keep her heading towards the cathedral, keep her driving to her death.” A guy's voice spoke out, sounding so deadly. It was at that point that I realized that he was talking about Hillary, they were going to kill her. I decided to go through the two phones and find clues about their plans, I was so shocked when I saw some messages and chats that proves that Ariel had known our hideout all along. She had kept a surveillance team right next to us and I didn’t know, I had no fucking idea, I didn’t see it. They have been watching us all this while, planning secretly. They are going to kill her and I won’t be able to stop it, I won’t be able to do anything to stop it.

I called her, telling her to give up this ridiculous plan of hers, but she wouldn’t listen. She is so stubborn, so damn stubborn and smart, too smart for her own good. She knows I’m keeping things from her, but she has to know that it’s all for her own good, I have to keep her safe until Nathan returns. Right now, I can’t tell her that we knew something was going to happen to her husband, she would never trust me again, she would hate me completely. She has no idea about the oath between both families, she won’t understand any of this stuff. She just have to wait until he comes back home, then everything would be fine again. 

I left her in a safe place, then I came back and face the guy who was about to come out of the Truck. I noticed the gas leakage from Hillary’s car, so I aimed at it and caused an explosion that shook the whole surrounding, setting him ablaze in his stupid Truck. I knew some more guys would be coming to confirm the kill for Ariel, I have no time to be nice, so I pointed my gun at the guy standing by his car door observing everything that is happening. I high jacked his car, helping Hillary into the back seat, then I got into the driver's side and drove off speedily. 

“Stay with me Mrs.Trent, stay with me. Keep your eyes open and stay with me.” I kept telling her, urging her to stay awake so we can go to the hospital. She is bleeding profusely and she looks so pale that it scares the shit out of me. What am I going to do if I lost her, what do I tell her husband?
