The Contracted Heart of the Billionaire Heir Chapter Seventy-Three
Rose's PovMy muscles felt cramped up and I was not sure what was going on. My eyesight was blurry and my head felt filled up with cotton.My mouth tasted bitter and it was a struggle to pry my eyes open but after a little effort, they flung open.Turning my neck as much as I could, I looked around me, trying to figure out where I was and my curious gaze finally settled on a figure that sat across from me.The figure bore one strangely similar to Donald's but I knew it definitely couldn't be-The person shook his body a bit, still fast asleep but that slight move have the opportunity to check him out.I had to tamp down my gasp when I found it that was indeed, him.He was fast asleep, sitting on a chair right beside me, his slender hands swinging beside the chair.“Donald…” I whispered beneath my breath, soaking in the view of him that was before me as though it would be my last opportunity.His lips were curved at the corners, which sat on a proud, square jaw and a strand of his curl

Donald's PovThe air was clear and bright today, unlike the night before.Unfortunately, I couldn't say the say for myself.Not only was I slow but my mind was distracted by various thoughts.Most of which were heavily invested in Rose.Returning from the hospital, I was certain that I could not make it to work.One reason was that I was already running late but the most important reason was that my mind was thrown into different directions at all once.I was confused and my mind was racing, most of my conflicting thoughts all centred on Rose.One major source was the fact that I couldn't stop reliving that night over and over again.The vividness of our night of intimate session a couple of weeks ago was creating disturbing images in my head.It was the one time I have in to her demands, spending a long night buried in her thighs.It's crazy to admit that that was one of the hottest nights I'd ever experienced with Rose. Memories from that night kept me up at night sometimes.Being i

Donald's Pov I arrived at the location that she had mentioned and I looked out for her, watching over my shoulder.It was quite late at night and the environment was not only shady but creepy too, with so many guys and homeless people lurking in the shadows.I pretended as if I was looking for something while keeping an eye out for her but after a couple of minutes, when I didn't see anyone, I glanced that my phone tempted to call her back but then I remember that I couldn't see the caller ID.Damn!I decided to give her a couple more minutes but I was quickly running out of patience and time just when I had made up my mind to leave turning around I heard a sound behind me.As expected, I saw a lady that seemed to be in her mid thirties walking up to me, only to stop about thirty feet away.I dared not get too close. “Gra-Gracie?”The woman on the phone had informed me that her name was Gracie but her face was intentionally shielded with a scarf, as if she didn't want me to see it.M

Rose's PovThe days crawled by slowly, so slowly that it was nearly driving me crazy but there was sort of beauty in being stuck in time.I was feeling edgy and uncomfortable, generally tired.The worst part about the entire situation was that I was becoming anxious as I could not decipher who the father of the child was.I had not made any headway in discovering who the father was, and the dilemma was in how.Quite a pickle I'd gotten myself in.“How can you deal with this, Rose?”I would ask myself over and over again, wishing that those questions could yield the desired results.I was living in a house, with two maids who were at my beck and call yet, I still felt like I was all alone in the world.There was no way I could reach out to Donald except he called me because as usual, he would not take my calls if I called.Also, I was heavily embarrassed about the situation with the pregnancy and I hoped that he hadn't started pondering on it.The frustrating thing was that I also coul

Donald's Pov For over and hour now, my phone has been buzzing back to back with both text messages and calls. So much so, that I had to place it on ‘do not disturb' just so I could get a couple of minutes worth of peace.My phone battery was probably drained by now.I had a ton of unfinished to work on my table and I knew that picking up that phone would only be a distraction, setting me back from what I had planned to accomplish.But I couldn't ignore it either.I know that whoever it was must need my help desperately or else they wouldn't bother reaching out to me quite so much.When I couldn't ignore it anymore, I gave in retrieving my phone from my desk.Who the hell was that?It was an unknown number. These days, I was getting a ton of calls from unregistered contacts. Quite uncanny.I hesitantly took the call and was greeted by some shocking news.Another call from the Royal hospital indicating that my wife was in an accident.“What the heck?” Were the words that slipped out

Donald's POV I spent a couple of more hours at the hospital hoping and waiting that Katerina would come through but unfortunately she didn't.The doctor told us that it will take a couple more days or hours before she would be fully responsive. Her injuries were critical and it will take a lot of time for her to get healed. Seeing as Gregory and Daphne wanted to stay back and wait I decided to head home, already exhausted and tired from the long journey.On my way home, I couldn't help but think over my decision.Promising to take care of Rose until she gave birth to her baby would throw a wrench in my plans.Just when I thought I was very to move on with my life, finding a new woman, rebuilding my company from the scratch, Rose just had to fuck it up somehow.I knew this would develop problems between us especially when I knew that I was still attracted to her and the possibility that she could be carrying my baby was also there…meaning that for the better part of my life I might be

David's Pov Glancing at my wrist watch for the third time today I looked around, watching the street carefully before I crossed over to the other side of the building.“Hey, Jackson. What's good?” I greeted the security guard before I made my way up to the first floor where I worked.I checked my phone once again waiting for a text message or a call or any form of response from Rose but my screen my phone screen was blank.I was starting to wonder if she had ghosted me for some reason.After that night I left her in my house, I hadn't seen or heard from her again, which was unlike Rose.Usually, she was all over me calling and texting on when next to meet up.This radio silence was quite uncomfortable for me, probably because I was on the receiving end of it.I passed by Ryan, who was the janitor for this floor and something crossed my mind, making me stop in my tracks. “Hey, man. Can I talk to you for a minute?”“Sure. Is there any problem?” He puckered his lips, eyeing me with suspi

David's Pov Cassie and Fiona exchanged a glance. “I thought you knew about it.” Cassie decided to speak up, being the brave one out of the two.“If I did, I wouldn't be here!” David's spat out. “Tell me everything you know and don't leave anything out!”Cassie and Fiona took a deep breath, almost simultaneously and the Cassie began, with an encouraging nod from her friend.“I overheard the doctor telling her parents and that billionaire guy that she's pregnant and there's a slight possibility that it might be for him.”Possibility?What fucking possibility?As far as I know, I'm the only one that she's sleeping with unless…“What the fuck does he mean by ‘slight possibility’?” Cassie started at his harsh tone, throwing a wary glance to her friend.“I don't know, maybe the guy is the father!” She folded her arms over her chest. “Look, we've answered all your questions, what else could you possibly want?”I rubbed a hand over my beard, contemplating that answer.What did I truly want?

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
