The Contracted Heart of the Billionaire Heir Chapter Forty-eight
Donald's POV David's statement only made me feel like a cornered animal and I was desperate for some form of peace.I wanted to tell Rose about what David was doing to me but honestly, I didn't think she would care.Situations in the company have thrown us together at various times but she either acted like she didn't know what was happening or talked strictly about business affairs. It was so strange that sometimes I had to confirm whether George was truly dead or maybe I had dreamt up the whole thing.I remembered one time during a lunch break when everybody had gathered, Rose walked in to speak to Anita, one of the interns about something and she made her way across the room to where I was standing.Rose practically ignored me until I instigated the conversation.“Hey, how are you doing?”She pretended to be surprised. “Oh, you're talking to me now?”“I don't understand… weren't we talking before?” I was genuinely confused.She just rolled her eyes upward at the ceiling. “What do

Donald's POV Racking my brain, I tried to think of what to do to convince Rose that I was being legit.The only thing that was committing my mind was to talk to Ricardo.“Go on then, if you're ‘rich’...” she raised her fingers up to denounce the quotes. “Then prove it to me.”At this point, she was practically daring me so while staring at her, I scrolled through my contacts calling Ricardo. As usual, his line rang long before he picked up.I made sure to put it on speaker so Rose could overhear our conversation.“Hey, Ricardo. Could you answer a question for me? Can you do that now or are you busy?” I say with authority, watching Rose smirk at me. I'm quite certain that she thought it was a ruse.“For my favorite client, I am never busy.” Ricardo purred.“Good. I have someone here with me who doubts my inheritance and the large amount of assets that have come into it. Can you prove it to her that it's true?” “Of course sir, where should I start from….?” Ricardo droned on and on ab

Donald's POV If I had thought that the harsh way I spoke to Rose would have been enough to deter her, I was wrong.The next week that followed was filled with surprises. Rose kept showing up at my door with various gifts, all trying to say the same thing…that she was sorry.At first, I was irritated at the way she was coming on to me but as time went on, I grew to see it from another perspective. It almost felt like payback for everything that I've gone through but in a good way.With this new mindset in place, I welcomed everything with a smile, scarfing down the chocolate and food and reading the cards that she placed but I made sure to stamp my refusal on every given opportunity, not wanting to raise her hopes.It was amusing to see how quickly her mood would change when that happenedSometimes she would offer to bring food to my office help me with my clothes or set documents up if I was too busy. These were things that I was particularly begging her to do during the duration of

Donald's POV I carried Rose up to the elevator and as soon as the doors closed behind us, I whirled around to face her. “What the hell, Rose? Is there a reason why you're coming here by this time of the night?”Rose was still drunk and high off whatever she must have taken. “I wanted to see you, Donald didn't you want to see me?” She slurred, reaching out to touch my chest but I pushed her hand away, not in the mood.Already I was pissed off and annoyed at being woken up so late in the night when all I wanted to do was sleep. “Don't give me that bullshit, Rose!”The elevator doors dinged open and I stormed out, too angry to even breathe the same air with her. “How did you even find out where I lived, huh?”“You're not the only one with powerful people as friends.” She huffed, walking beside me.She even tried to slip her hand into mine…intertwining it but I gave her a stink eye, which made her shrink back.When I got to my hotel suite, I swiped my key card against the door knob and i

Donald's POV Immediately Rose's head touched the pillow, she woke up. I was quite startled to be met with her piercing grey eyes that I stumble back in surprise but before I went too far, she circles her arms around my neck, looping it around to bring me down.The whole thing was quite surprising that I didn't know how to respond until her lips touched mine.Oh, hell no!I tried to buck off, pushing her away but her arms were tighter than I had expected. She slanted her lips, pushing her tongue into my mouth.The whole experience was weird but at the same time familiar and I hesitated.Rose picked up on that and proceeded to weaken me further, by slipping her hands into my hair curling them around the strands.I moaned, my eyes crossing in my head when she managed to pull my shirt up, running her palms up and down my back, raking her nails across it.That was my weakness. I loved being touched during sex.But no-I can't be doing this.Spurred on by that, I managed to summon the stre

Rose's POVBefore I woke up, I could feel the sun's rays on my face which made me burst into a smile.The events of last night kept on replaying in my mind my entire body tingling with the need to be touched.With my eyes closed, I reached out to the other side of the bed to touch Donald's warm, hot body but my hand encountered only air. My eyes flew open in surprise as I sat up, my gaze darting about to look for him. “Donald?”No response.Hoping that he was in the bathroom, I flung the covers off my body padding over naked to meet him.With a small smile playing on my lips, I jumped inside to surprise him but I was the surprised one.It was empty.Now confused, I grabbed a robe from the hook wrapping it around my body before leaving the bedroom, walking straight to the living room. “Donald, where are you? I was thinking I could surprise you with a little action in bed.” I say coyly, twisting my hair.It wasn't hard to think that Donald might be hiding of in his office as he was rec

Donald's POV I tried to keep my distance from Rose as much as I could that wasn't the case two days later after I had abandoned her in the hotel. I showed up to work as usual my briefcase in hand, heading towards my office when I got ambushed by Rose.“Do you think that you could hide for long without me finding you?” She confronts me, visibly angry.“I wasn't aware that I was hiding from you,” I say coolly.“Oh, will you please stop the lies? I've been searching all over for you since Friday but you just conveniently found a way to go in and out of the company without seeing me.…. but not anymore.” She growled, taking one step towards me.From the corner of my eyes, I could see the employees throwing curious glances at us and the last thing I wanted was to become a new subject matter to gossip about. “Come on, let's take this to my office,” I say under my breath, grabbing her arm.As soon as my hand connected with hers, she flinched jerking out of my hold. “Don't you fucking touch m

Donald's POV Living life on my terms has brought a lot of peace into my life, making each day peaceful and bearable.Just a couple of weeks ago, Ricardo reached out to me saying that it was time to read my grandfather's will.Honestly, I never thought much about my grandfather's will or the properties that he left behind, assuming that they would either go to charity or someone beloved that he cared about.So imagine my surprise when I gathered for the will along with his lawyer and mine, only to hear the lawyer read out that everything had been left to me, including his favorite lake house and a couple of businesses.“What?!” My mouth dropped open in shock. “That can't be true! Are you sure about that?”“I'm quite positive. Here, listen to it yourself. “Mr McMillan said, twisting over his laptop to show me the video.Right on the screen in front of me was George facing the camera.Seeing his face brought back a rush of memories. My chest tightened at seeing it and I greedily drank d

Donald's POV The ‘beep beep’ of the monitors woke me up from my deep slumber.I open my eyes slowly to meet the white, sterile ceiling of a hospital. I knew it was a hospital because it had that familiar disinfectant smell to it…also because it makes sense, given the fact that I was shot at three times a couple of hours before and yeah, I remember every bit of that story.It was like a clip of a very bad movie except this happened to me, the distant yet eerily familiar feeling of being shot invaded my senses and I had to inch my hand up to see if I could check out the wound. “I wouldn't advise you to do that.” A pretty blond nurse wearing scrubs walked in, a clipboard in her hand.“Hel…Hello..” I croaked out, realizing that my throat was as dry as a desert.She must have come to the same realization because she walked over to my bedside, reaching for a cup of water and she handed it over to me.I greedily slurped it down like a greedy man dying of thirst, only stopping when I emptie

David's POV Just like I expected, the media circus around Donald's death blew out of proportion.As I'm packing my bags, the entire area in which Donald was shot had been taped off by the police.Apparently they were opening a case into the incident, searching for who shot him.I would like to feel relaxed on that point but it's just my luck that the homeless guy I usye turned out to be something else.For the rest of the day, I kept on trying his number but he never picked up soon enough, the number became unavailable which I took to mean that he had either discarded of it or he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. When Boone asked me about the progress report, I lied to him stating that I had taken care of the homeless guy but I knew it was just a matter of time before the police found him and he blurted out the truth…which was why I was booking the next available flight and getting the hell out of this cursed city.The moment I left the borders of the city and I was on my

RoseTo think that it was Donald's death that brought me and my family together, it was mind boggling to say the least.I received the call from my sister early the next morning and to say I was surprised, is an understatement.“Hello, Tanya. Wh-hat's going on?”She was breathing heavily which made me worried. “Have you seen the news, Rose?” She asked.My brows furrowed in confusion. “The news?” I repeated. “No. What news? I'm just waking up!” I say, flipping the covers away from my body so I reach for my laptop.Suddenly the speaker went mute as I could only hear muffled words float through. it seems like she was talking to someone else.I ignored her, checking up on the latest news.I quickly scanned through a number of them, realizing that no one stood out to me. “Tanya, I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at here but nothing is making sense to me. Can you talk to me and tell me what happened? Is it Mom or Dad? Are they okay?”Immediately, my mind jumped into the worst sce

RoseI knew the exact moment I fell for David all over again was when I heard the words, ‘you’re free to go’.That faithful Tuesday morning, I was laying face up on my cot, thinking of new ways to distract myself from a boring and predictable day when the buzzer sounded.Unlike the last time when I ignored the guard, I turned around to look at him but this time he wasn't holding a tray of food in his hands.He had the bunch of keys in his hands and he was walking slowly towards my room, an unpleasant in his eyes.“Hey, you. Get up!” He boomed loudly, startling me.“I was already up…” I grumbled, flipping my legs around the tiny cot. “Where's my food?”He didn't respond, only grunted and shoved me not too gently toward the bars, handcuffing me. “Move!” He ordered and I obeyed, shuffling my feet.We did the same walk routine, similar to when I visited Donald but this time…it seemed different.“Where are we going?” I twisted my head around to ask him but he just shoved my head forward.W

David's POV Contrary to what Donald thought, I was right there behind him the whole time.He was so easy and gullible. Just one mention of Rose and he came running exactly like I thought.All I needed to do was play the pity card and he sucked it up like a starving man drinking water.It was quite hilarious if I was being honest.I wanted the first location, simply because it would be easier to dispose of him when the homeless guy was done with the job but Donald being a hard ass…he insisted we change it, probably suspicious of my actions. Well, at least he was smart… just not too smart to avoid dying though.My phone buzzed with a text.Donald: Where are you?Me: I'm right behind you. I'll be there soon.When I sent the text, I burst into laughter, muffling the sound.I kept checking my watch, waiting for the homeless guy to show up. This was not the agreement. He was supposed to be here a couple of minutes ago, do the job the moment Donald showed up and get out of here.I gritted

Donald's POV I was woken up by my phone buzzing needlessly.Groaning, I twisted around in bed to reach for the phone only to see a name I never thought I'd see flash across my screen.Immediately my eyes flew open, sleep deserting my mind and I nearly jumped out of bed.Wait, why the hell was David calling me?To make matters worse, shortly after the call ended he dropped the text followed by another.David: Hi, I know I'm the last person you want to talk to right now but I need your help. David: Please respond, it's urgent.I debated, responding, wanting to shrug it off but I sat up on the bed so I could think logically.From the little I've known and observed about David, I know that he's a snake and he's very cunning, always thinking three steps ahead of everyone else which is why it bothers me so much that he's texting me.What the hell does he want from me?While I was contemplating on whether to pick up or respond to his text messages, he sent another.David: Please.Because I

David's POV “Hey guys, do you have any news yet?” I asked barging into the basement. All through the night, I could barely sleep a wink as I tossed and turned, my brain producing new ways on how to help Rose.After I went to visit her, I became spurred on to double down on my efforts and for the past two days, my team and I have been up through out the night, working tirelessly on breaking into David firewalls.At this points, I didn't care about whether it was illegal or not, all you wanted to do is to get Rose out of that filthy place.“We don't have any leads yet.” Shawn spoke up. “We still haven't gotten those parts that we needed and decrypting the messages by hand is taking us way longer than it should. At this point, we'll probably get done by the end of the year.”Groaning, I slapped my hands over my face. “That's not going to work. You're sure there's no other way to get this going faster?”If I could get my hands on some incriminating messages that David exchanged with his

David's POV Popping a chewing gum, I sucked it back in, tapping my feet impatiently on the brakes.I decided to make use of Boone's advice, doing the extra work to cement the plan that I have already started and that begins with…A loud honk from a passing car jolted me out of my thoughts and I popped my head out, raising my middle finger as a response.“Fucking asshole!” I muttered under my breath, stealing a glance at my watch. It's been over an hour and this guy is nowhere to be found.He's got to know that he's playing with his life.I am a gentle and mannered man until I was pushed to the wall forced, to do certain things…one of which is to make good on the threats I told him.A couple of days before I decided to meet with the homeless man who placed the tip in the police station for the cops to find, I spent some hours out of my day to watch him and like clockwork he always appeared at the same time every day.It was tad boring and predictable but it saved me time to look for h

RoseThe minutes turned into hours and the hours into days, each day more horrible than the last.My nightmare of being trapped in here was slowly coming to pass and I was too helpless to do anything to stop it.Reaching out to my family wasn't an option and none of the guards agreed to let me use their phone to make one more call to Donald, leaving me stranded.The food was probably the good thing about the place.I don't know who the chef is but he's doing a really good job of keeping me happy…temporarily though.I sighed for probably the hundredth time, staring vacantly at the ceiling.You know, when you first have your freedom taken away from you, you think that the first few hours or days at the worst but it's not. It's actually quite easy because there is a list of ways you can distract yourself but as the day grows longer, that's when reality sets in and the sadness begins.The possibility that this could become your new normal starts to haunt you and in as much as your mind w
