The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

"Well, I see you have nothing to say for yourself, so I’m simply going to move on to my next question…” I took a pause at this point because the next question brings up different thoughts and emotions to my mind, but I have to confirm if truly she had tried to kill my wife, I have to clear her of all doubts before I can put all the fucking blame on Hillary. I looked into her eyes and watched her carefully, I don’t want to miss any reaction on her face.

“Where is Hillary, what did you do to her?” I asked sternly, hoping she would try and deny her involvement in Hillary’s disappearance but she wasn’t going to. She scoffed at my question before taking a few steps to sit on the chair in front of me, being all dramatic about it. 

“I thought you have it all figured out, Nate, why do you bother to ask me anything when you have your answers already. Yes, I sent your whore out of that house, I sent her away and I fucking sold the house, big deal. You are one to talk about cheating, I guess your parents would love to know about your pretty little girlfriend and how you bought a house for her.” She spat out smugly.

“You are so wrong Ariel, she wasn’t just my girlfriend. Hillary and I had got married in secret, so technically she is not my girlfriend, she is my wife.” I said proudly, making her go white in shock. I don’t even know why I mentioned that, I guess I just wanted to get back at her for daring to speak that way about Hillary. I watched her closely as her face went from white to red. She is angry and I love it, I want to see what she would do, I’m hoping she turns on my mom, I’m hoping she exposes everything and tells me what she has over my mom.

“You are lying, you are only bluffing. There is no way you could have married that girl without involving your family. You are lying Nathan Trent, I won’t fall for your tricks.” She retorted.

“Yeah, whatever. You can believe anything you want to, I really don’t care. I want to know what you did to her and where the hell is she?” I asked her fiercely, making her go livid with fear, but she still wasn’t ready to say anything to me, she kept glaring furiously at me, like an angry beast that is about to attack.

“Well, I was hoping that you would be a little bit more cooperative, seeing as I have enough evidence to put you away for a very long time, but since you suddenly caught the mute virus, I guess there is absolutely no need to waste my precious time with you. You disgust me Ariel, and just to be clear, I wouldn’t have married you, even if Hillary didn’t come into the picture.” I told her firmly, keeping my tone clear of all doubts, letting my words sink into her thick skull. I turned towards Ray and I nodded my head at him, signaling him to get the cops in. I got tired of staring at her stupid face, it is obvious that she is not remorseful, I got up and walked to the window, looking out the window. He had already dropped the file with his contact at the bureau. He walked outside in quick strides and in a few seconds, he walked back in with some cops following closely behind him. I think he must have made the call before we left the house because I sure didn’t. In any case, Ariel would be going away for a long time and as long as I am concerned, that is all I really can’t about.

“Take her away,” I ordered them, leaving no room for arguments, or so I thought. This bitch ain’t ready to go down yet, she stood up and walked up to me, pushing the cops out of her way, standing right in front of me with a proud smirk on her face. I guess she still thinks that she has a chance of getting out of this unscathed, someone needs to wake this bitch up from slumber and bring her back to reality.

“Mom, I need you to know that everyone makes a mistake, and everyone keeps secrets, but at some point, you have to understand that secrets only tear the family apart, you need to come clean now so we can all put this behind us. I can get people to look into it and get me the information I need, but I think it would be more preferable if you tell me yourself.” I advised her.

“What is this son, an interrogation? You can’t come back here and expect everyone to bow at your feet and obey your orders, what the hell is wrong with you, why are you pointing accusing fingers at everyone, why are you…”

“That is enough mom!

Start talking already!” I yelled in anger as she keeps trying to dodge my question. She was taken aback by my outburst, she gazed at me in shock for a few minutes, weighing her options, then she bent her head, looking down at her fingers. When she looked up again, she had tears in her eyes and I couldn’t help feeling guilty for making her cry, but it is unavoidable. As I said earlier, no more secrets in this house, not anymore.
