The Contracted Heart of the Billionaire Heir Chapter Ninety-Two
David's Pov It turns out that trying to be a criminal mastermind was much harder than I thought it was.My brilliant plan to make Rose take the fall for me when I eventually left was quite difficult to execute.I met up with a lawyer, planning on making sure that he would be positioned in such a way that he could easily fabricate the documents and make rules to be at fault. Whenever you wanted to pull off a scheme like this, the best thing was to plan three steps ahead or else you would be on the losing end.“What's the next step? I need you to make sure that this is a flawless as possible and I don't want it to get traced back to me, you understand?” I say in a strict tones.The man I found, his name was Dennis Robinson…a shady lawyer found downtown in Allen Avenue. I had to ask around to make sure I didn't make a mistake. It wasn't until I got hlowing reviews about his ‘services’ that I went ahead to contact him.To make sure it was undetectable, I used a burner phone with a fake

David's Pov I didn't know what or how to feel for the first couple of minutes, mulling it over in my head. I was so confused that I tried to reach out to Blake again but my calls just went straight to voicemail. I could feel a scream building up at the back of my throat, just itching to be let out.Why was this happening to me?Just when it seemed like I was two steps in, something would come along to topple all the plans that I have made and set me back a couple of months.If Blake was right and not overreacting- the girl reads meaning into everything, even something as little as a cashew nut falling into a shoe- then it meant that Donald was on to me and heading back to the company wouldn't be safe for me.“Crap, what do I do?” I mutter under my breath, pacing around while twirling a strand of my hair in anxiety.It was a bad habit that I got whenever I was upset of worried about something, and when I realize I was doing it, I immediately pulled my hand back.For the next hour, I r

Donald's PovWaking up with a yawn, I sat up on the bed stretching my hands high above my head.My next move was to hop into the shower.Nowadays, I really spent time at home mostly, jumping from the house to one company down to another.It's been about almost a week that I have spoken with Rose but I made sure to leave her notes everyday so it didn't seem like I was ignoring her. However, I didn't have the privilege of sulking around the house when David was out there, doing God knows what to try and take my company.Yes, my company.Now it's all too certain that David couldn't be trusted and judging from what I've seen, I have figured out that he is a greedy, heartless bastard who will go to any lengths to get what he wants.At this point, if he was able to infiltrate Rose’s company then I couldn't be sure that mine was out of the danger zone.Some minutes past 8, I hurried out of the house and into my car setting the GPS to a company that I now own and manage.It's one of the bigge

Rose's POV Rubbing my hands furiously to create some friction, I stared at my reflection in the mirror biting down on my lower lip.Was I doing the right thing? I couldn't help but think things through.The secret meetings I'd been having with David under Donald's nose didn't go as I expected and now, I'm on a very different path than I thought I'd be.I didn't know how I got roped into David's sleek, smooth charm, swallowing everything he told me hook, line, and sinker.Somehow, I had managed to fall into his trap.He said he would help me get the freedom I wanted from Donald.At first, he came to me after apologizing for abandoning me the way he did and slowly, he began to slip past my defenses and then we started to talk.And in no time at all, I started to leak out my secrets, telling him about how Donald and I had reconciled and began to make up.I also told him how much I loved Donald and regretted losing him by cheating on him with David.After the incident that happened which

Donald's POV The way I found out about Rose and her plan…. let me just say it blew me out of the water.It was a text message from an unknown number.Normally, I would discount it but it was so spot on that it made me stop and think.UN: Usually, I wouldn't do something like this but I feel like you deserve to know what your estranged wife is up to, after all, she has hurt you badly so many times it doesn't seem fair that she goes free with this one. Rose is planning to serve you with divorce papers… just so you know.I paused, staring at the text message.It was hard to believe that after the heartfelt conversation that we had, Rose would sneak behind my back to do this.During the drive home, I kept obsessing over what this person had sent.I mean there was no way it was even remotely true yet I couldn't take the thought out of my mind.I raced home, partially because I couldn't wait to confront Rose about it.I was so impatient that I didn't even park in the garage, instead I doub

Donald's POV After the shocking news I heard about Rose and her choice to move on with the divorce, I had to give her some space, partly because of my mental health.It was dangerous, having someone toy with your emotions like that. I was so angry and a little bit disappointed in myself for falling for her antics again but in the past couple of days, I made sure to avoid her like the plague, coming back home late at night and then heading straight to my bed.I snuck out early in the mornings, avoiding any encounter with anyone.If Rose noticed my sudden distant attitude, she didn't say anything about it.Stuck in my office, I sighed for the umpteenth time today as I stared at the workload in front of me, sorely craving for some much-needed rest.Rubbing at my temples, I debated taking a power nap when I heard a bit of ruckus outside my door.My spine snapped into place and my back straightened as I tried to listen to get a feel of what was happening out there, I could make out some

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

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
