The Billionaire’s Desires

Hillary’s POV

I was so devastated by the news, it’s all a lie, it’s just not true, how could this happen to Me, how could he be dead, he is such a good man, so damn perfect. Why do bad things always happen to good people, why is my life so unfortunate and miserable?

First, it had been my parents, they hated me so much that they couldn’t bear to bring me up themselves, they had to dump me in an orphanage, leaving me to my fate. I have struggled to get to where I am today, I thought my life is becoming perfect, now I’ve lost the only person that has ever shown me true love and compassion. He had loved me with all his heart, he had shown me how beautiful life can be, now he is gone, leaving me all alone in this house. Am I a magnet for bad luck, why is all this happening to me?

No, No Way.

I’m not going to listen to anything they are saying, I just won’t believe it. He had promised me that he is coming back for me and I know he would always keep to his promises, he would never leave me this way, not now, not ever. I sit in front of the screen every damn day, watching the news, waiting for some sort of miracle. Maybe, they would realize their mistake, maybe my Nate would show up and put them all to shame, but that’s just my wishful thinking, it never happened, he never showed up like I imagined.

Three months…

That is how long it took them to wait. They had waited for only three months, and now they are planning for his funeral. They believe the stories, they have already concluded that be is already dead. They have given up on the search for him and now they are planning his funeral.

It’s just ridiculously unbelievable. I can’t believe that even his parents would believe that he is dead. Two weeks ago, the search party had stumbled upon some remains from the crash site, they claim that they found his body parts at the crash site. The autopsy report affirms their suspicions, claiming that they have found his remnants, and now they are going to bury an empty casket.

Ridiculous!!!

How could they believe that he is dead, can they not feel what I am feeling in my heart, do they not see that this is all a big lie, how can they believe that Nathan is dead, don’t they love him as much as I do?

I can feel our bond, it was never broken. It may be a bit weak because of the distance between us, but I feel it anyway and I know for a fact that Nathan is alive, he just can’t be dead, I’m never accepting it.

Miguel has been with me always, he has never left my side all this while, he promised to be with me through it all and he has kept to his promises. He stayed by my side even when the others decided to leave because Nathan wasn’t going to pay them anymore. Despite the threats and dangers lurking around me, they all left, just like that, leaving me to my face, letting me face my stalkers alone.

As for my stalkers, I still have no idea who they are and they never gave up on me, they keep following me around, making me look over my shoulder every damn day. Avril has narrowly escaped death at their hands that first night. We had all thought that they were going after her that day, the plan was for her to pull the fire alarm and then run out through the laundry vent. It’s a good thing that she had listened to me and followed my instructions, otherwise, she’ll be so fucking dead right now.

A few minutes after she left the building, there was a big explosion at the building and It burned down the whole building, burning it down to the ground. There are over a hundred students in that building and so many of them got hurt in the fire. I shudder to think of what would have happened if Avril did not pull the fire alarm when she did. Luckily, no lives were lost in that attack, just injuries that would heal over time, and Avril got out on time. But she had been so scared and shaken by the incident and she has gone into hiding, choosing to stay as far away from me as she could.

She is certain that the guys were not searching for her, she blames me for mingling with the wrong people, scolding me for secretly getting married to Nathan, and agreeing to move in with him when I know that his family would never accept me as his wife. She is basically claiming that Nathan’s family is responsible for all this. She thinks they locked him up somewhere so he wouldn’t be able to save me when they come after me. But that is not true, it cannot be true. I met his mother the other day and she didn’t even recognize me, she doesn’t know shit about me, so how could she be doing all this.

Could it be his father?

I just can’t say, I mean, I’m married to this guy but I know practically nothing about his family, nothing at all. He never talked much about them, I was waiting for when he will returns so he can finally introduce me to his family, everything was going perfectly fine until he left for that stupid trip. I was wondering why he wasn’t happy after he got that call from his grandfather, I thought it was a good thing that he had family members who love and care about him. I guess he had seen it coming all along, he knew this was going to happen, yet he went anyway, why would he do that to me.

Now that bitch is gaining sympathy from everyone, gaining popularity as the youngest widow in the city, going for different photo ops, acting like she is hurt. Nathan was never married to that bitch, he is my husband, mine. I have a marriage certificate that proves that, I’m sure that our marriage would not be registered in court if he had been married before. I am his wife and nobody would bury my husband without my permission, not when I am still alive.

His platinum Black card that he had given to me is still working perfectly well, it’s what I have been using to take care of all of my needs, it kind of reminded me of his words to me before he left. He had made me promise to use his card, he said he wanted to get the debit alert from this card every week or he is going to get angry with me. I always use this card every fucking day, buying random things that I don’t even need. I hope he is seeing the debit alerts wherever he is.

**********

Two days after they fixed the date for his burial…

It has been here all along. I guessed as much. She acts like a fucking deceitful snake, sneaking behind people’s backs, causing havoc everywhere. She had shown up at my house one day while Miguel was away. He had gone to the grocery store to restock the house, leaving g me all alone in the house.

The bitch!!!

She had walked in through that door, my door, jamming her hands together in applause, sauntering towards me with a smug smile plastered on her face, looking like those evil witches you find in Disney cartoons.

“Oh, you poor thing. Sitting here all alone watching the news about his death, it must have been quite frustrating. You can’t be with his family and friend to moan him and you can’t even show your ugly face at his funeral, how sad, and pathetic.” She spat out mockingly, walking forward to come to sit beside me.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Wh… Wh… Who are you and what are you doing here?” I stammered out, shifting nervously on the couch where I sat watching the news.

“Oh, come on Hillary, let’s put off the pretense. You know exactly who I am, you man thief. You stole my man from me, you ruined my perfect plans. And guess what honey, I couldn’t steal him back from you no matter how hard I try. You had your claws rooted deep within him, making it virtually impossible to get him away from you. That is why I turned a blind eye when his death was being plotted.

I could have saved him, Hillary, I could have warned him not to go, but I let him go to his death, letting him die like a piece of crap that he is.” She said with a light giggle, looking deeply into my eyes, acting like a freaking lunatic. I wondered why she is telling me all this when she knows that I would run off to the cops immediately she turned her back to me.

“You are right, Ariel. I know you and guess what else I know, I know that you aren’t really Nathan’s wife. He never married you, I’m very sure about that, what I don’t know is why you are telling me all this when you know that I could get you arrested as an accomplice for murder?” I told her pointedly, staring back at her, letting my hard gaze rest on her. I knew she was a snake but I didn’t know that she could go this far just to get her revenge, why is she so evil and desperate.

“Oh my dear Hillary, you’re so slow on catching up, I don’t like that, I need you to know exactly what I plan to do before I can say it. I need you to anticipate my actions. For your information, dear girl, I’m telling you all this because  I’m about to kill you.” She said smugly, smiling proudly as if she had just said something great.

“You’re insane, you’re so fucking insane. If you think I’ll ever be scared of you, then you need to think again. I ain’t scared of you, not one bit. And guess what, I’m going to turn you in, I’ll make you pay you bitch!” I yelled in her face, causing her to burst into a fit of historical laughter.

“No, Hillary. You ain’t gonna tell anyone about this, you know why?

It’s quite simple babe, you are going to die right here in this house today, you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this day, you whore. You took him away from me, I should be his wife, not you, you bitch!!!” she shouted at me looking so furious that I thought she would explode in anger.

“You selfish bastard!!!

You murderer!!!

You’ll never get away with this, not when I’m still alive. I’ll make you pay, you’ll fucking rot in hell, you bitch, you whore!!!” I cursed out loudly, earning a hot slap from her that turned my head the other way.

“You have no fucking bitch!!!

You have no idea what I’ve done to get to this position. I’ve killed everyone that ever wanted to be with my man, I never let them succeed. I killed them all. I’ve worked so hard to be a Trent, it was working according to plan until you came along and ruined everything. Nathan was mine, you whore!

And guess what, bitch, if I don’t have him, you can’t either. If he is not mine, then he can’t belong to anyone else. I get what I want, when I want it, you won’t ruin all my hard work and get away with it, that’s never happening.” She said smugly.

“Too bad you ain’t gonna be a Trent anymore, or do you want to tie the knot in jail?” I mocked her, getting her more pissed off than before.

“That is precisely where everyone is very mistaken my love. I have worked so hard to be a Trent, I ain’t letting you or anyone else steal that from me. I would go after Nathan’s cousin, Travis Trent. With him as my husband, I’m pretty sure I would achieve my aim of being Mrs. Trent. So you see, my dearest Hilly, I’m sure that I’ll be out of here before the crowd and cops arrive here, and when we meet again, oh, wait, we are never going to meet because you’ll be long dead by then. But trust me, I’ll get him to bend to my will and before you know it, I’m going to be by his side as his wife, as Mrs. Travis Trent. what do you think about my sexy outfit, is it fit for a billionaires wife?” she asked with a smile that was meant to be cute, but it looks so evil on her.

“But he is betrothed, he has a fiancee, what makes you think he would choose you over her?” I asked her skeptically, but she laughed evilly, looking at me like I’m stupid. It had taken a few minutes before I realized what she was going to do,

“You’re going to kill her too, ain’t you?” I muttered softly, looking so distraught by her evil plans. How can she be so heartless and wicked, she doesn’t care about anything or anyone, she kills anyone that crosses her path, she ain’t scared of anyone or anything at all, how can she be this way?

“So tell me, Hilly, what do you think of my brilliant plan, do you still believe that I won’t be Mrs. Trent,?” she asked me mockingly.

“You’ll never get away with this, you won’t get away, I swear it.”

“Yes, I will, Hillary but too bad you won’t be here to witness it.” She said with a smirk, signaling to the guys that have been standing by the door, asking them to come forward.

“I don’t want any mistakes or surprises, kill her and dump the body in the refrigerator.” She ordered them sternly, turning to pick her Gucci bag from the couch before turning back to me with that sick smile of hers.

“That will be all now, dear Hilly. I have to run along right now, I’ve got a photo op to go to, and most importantly, I need to plan my husband’s funeral.

Gosh, it’s so hard to plan a funeral, especially, the funeral of a billionaire’s heir. It takes a lot of planning and don’t forget, I need to practice how to shed a few tears, it’s so hard to cry for someone you detest so much, you know what I mean right?” she asked in that sick mocking tone of hers, making me so angry that I got up to attack her. She moved out of my reach, tripping me with her feet and I stumbled and fell to the floor. Before I could stand up, her goons were upon me, beating the crap out of me, I screamed as they hit me repeatedly while Ariel stood aside laughing at my plight. They didn’t stop hitting me, not even for a second, I kept screaming on the floor, begging them to stop, and then they did. They all just stopped and I could faintly hear their voices as they yelled hysterically,

“Out… Out… Out… Out through the back door.”

Soon everywhere was so quiet and still, I wonder what was going on.
