The Billionaire’s Desires

Still Hillary’s POV

“You need to stop calling me Hills, I don’t want to be involved in this matter, I don’t want to die, Hillary, please just go away.”

“Avril wait, don’t hang up.” I called out to her, because I know she would hang up on me immediately.

“I told you to stay away from me, Hillary, I can’t deal with all this drama in my life, I can’t be seen with you, they will come back for me, they’ll kill me Hills, they’ll fucking kill me.” She sobbed loudly, making me feel even more guilty.

“I know Avi, and I wouldn’t have called you if it wasn’t so important. Just hear me out this time and I promise, I’ll never bother you ever again.” I pleaded softly, hoping she hears me out this last time because it may be the very last time I’ll be speaking with her. I have no idea what I’ll be meeting there, Nathan’s mom may recall my face, she had seen me lurking around their mansion the other day. She may get me arrested, even before Ariel makes any move on me. She had insulted me and sternly warned me never to come near her properties again. I sincerely hope that she is not one of those women that never forgets a face, I only want everyone to hear the truth, I simply want to expose Ariel and her thugs and accomplices, I don’t want to get locked up in jail, and I certainly do not want to die.

“You have fifteen seconds.” She let out in a pissed tone, trying to hide the weakness in her voice. I could tell that she had been crying.

“I’m sorry Avril, I never meant for any of this to happen, I’ll never do anything to hurt you and you know it. I don’t know how all this started, but I’m right in the middle of it all and there is nothing I can do about it, I’m so sorry, I should have…”

“Ten more seconds Hills!!!

I’m hanging up if you have nothing important to say to me.” She told me pointedly, causing me to let out a frustrated sigh as I ran my hands through my hair.

“It’s Fine Avi, you can hang up now. I just wanted to say nice words to you before I finish this task because I don’t know if I can make it out of that cathedral alive. I love you, Avril, I’ll never forget about you, I’ll always love you like a sister because you are not just my best friend, you are the only family I have and I love you with all the love in me” I told her truthfully.

“Wait, what cathedral, what are you saying, I don’t understand what you are saying Hills, where the fuck are you going to?” she yelled at me, sounding so furious a curious at the same time. I have no time to explain everything to her, besides, she did ask me to stay away from her, I should at least try to keep to my word and respect her wishes, this may be the last thing I’ll be doing for her.

“Goodbye Avi, I’ll miss you.” I muttered softly before hanging up on her. I could hear her voice as she tried to ask me more questions, but I ignored her and ended the call before she could say anything more. I really can’t blame her for pushing me away, she had gone through hell at the hands of Ariel and her thugs. They had hurt her severally just to get to me. After she escaped the fire, she also went into hiding. She flew out of the country, choosing to stay as far away from me as possible. But they didn’t let her go.

I don’t know how Avril got to find out her location in Canada, but she did and she sent some of her boys after her, dragging her back into the country against her wish. I have no fucking idea how Ariel was able to drag her out of the airport without alerting the airport security. She had managed to get her back into the country against her wish. Like Miguel had said, she had some powerful men backing her up. She makes it seem like it’s all her power, making everyone around her to believe that she can get anything she wants anytime she wanted it.

She had used her resources to bring back my friend so she could use her to flush me out of my hiding place. If only Avril had someone like Miguel by her side, they would not have caught her, she could have had some peace of mind, but she didn’t have anyone around here that could teach her how to evade Ariel’s goons. She had only gone away for a few days before they had found her location. She was dragged back here and tortured for information about me. She was locked away for days while pictures of her were sent to my phone with threatening messages, I had nearly turned myself in to save her, but Miguel came up with a plan, he got some boys to work with him and together they traced the basement that she is being held in and they got her out. Two of his boys had been hit by Ariel’s thugs, but they finally got her out safely.

She had actually reported the case to the nearest precinct, but the cops couldn’t do anything about it because she had no evidence to present, she had been in the hospital for two months, trying to heal from all her injuries. She had a few cracked ribs and a broken arm. It would take a few months for her to heal properly and even after her physical wounds heal completely, I’m pretty certain that her emotional pains would never heal, the scars would remain forever and it would serve as a reminder of the pains I made her pass through. Miguel had personally taken her away after she was discharged from the hospital. He took away all her electronic gadgets that could be used to track her down, he gave her an untraceable phone that she could use to call for help in case she needs anything or if she gets into trouble again. I have no idea why he had chosen to take her to Paris, France, but I’m sure she would love it there because she had always wanted to visit Paris, it is all she had ever talked about, it’s been her dream since I’ve known her. Although the circumstances are not really right, I am just glad that she is actually living her dream.

The sound of my phone ringing tone snapped me out of my thoughts, I guess it was Avril that is calling me back to ask me more questions. I can’t tell her everything, I don’t want to get her involved in my plans, I can’t bear to watch her suffer anymore because of me. I only wanted her to know that she may not hear from me in a long time, I don’t want her asking too many questions that could put her in trouble. Miguel said she’ll be safe in Paris if only she doesn’t get involved in any of this. I ignored her calls, letting it ring as long as it wanted to,  won’t let her get hurt because of me, not again. I thought it would eventually stop ringing, but it didn’t stop, not even for a second. It just kept ringing and ringing nonstop, making me furious. I angrily picked up the phone to yell at her and tell her to back off so she doesn’t get in trouble, but I stooped in shock when I heard another voice coming out from the receiver.

“There is a black sedan following closely behind you for almost thirty minutes now, are you even watching your surroundings, Mrs. Trent?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

You need to get off that road right now, you need to put an end to these ridiculous plans of yours, you’re not ready for this.” He let out rapidly, sounding ecstatic. I looked at my rearview mirror searching for the black Sedan that he is talking about, but I couldn’t, but I couldn’t see it, but I can vaguely see my red Porsche far behind me, following me at a safe distance.  It’s got to be Miguel driving it, he must have picked it up from where we abandoned it at the hotel’s parking lot, and now he is making up fake stories just to try and dissuade me from my mission. Now I’m pretty certain that there is something he isn’t telling me about this mission, he knows something and he doesn’t want to share that information with me. I don’t care if he is trying to protect me, I won’t let him stop me from exposing that bitch, I just can’t let her get away with all the evil things that she has done with to me and my husband, not to mention hurting my best friend also. Nope, I am definitely not letting this go.

“We talked about this Miguel, if you are not going to help me, then stay the fuck away from my mission. I would not forgive you if you ruin this mission for me, if you are not ready to be completely honest with me, then stay the fuck away from me.” I yelled in the receiver.

“You still don’t get it, do you?

You are walking right into a trap Mrs . Trent. I want to help, I really want to, but I can not help you if you do not listen to me. I may not have a solution to this problem right now, but trust me I’m working on a plan, I just need some time to collect more information and perfect my plans, but I can’t do that if you’re dead, can I?

I need you to stop and think about this clearly, do you think miss Ariel would let you walk into that cathedral and ruin her reputation?

Well, I don’t think so. I may have taken out the guys trailing you from behind, but I don’t think that is all she has planned for you. Look around you Mrs. Trent, look at all the alternative routes that lead to the cathedral, they are all blocked, it seems like you are being directed to a particular place. For fucks sake can’t you see that it’s a fucking trap?

For months now, her thugs have always found us no matter where we are hiding, do you think they haven’t come after us because they haven’t found us?

Well, you thought wrongly. I attacked the black sedan trailing you since you left the hotel. I found some messages on their phones that prove that they have been watching us for over two months now, I failed to notice that our rooms have been bugged. I know I should have seen this coming but I didn’t and it’s all my fault, but you have to believe me, they know you are coming and they have set out plans for you, get the fuck out of there right now.” He said hastily, sounding a little bit convincing but I won’t fall for those tricks, I won’t let him fool me.

“That’s a bloody lie Miguel and you know it. I can see the Cathedral up ahead, if Ariel knows I’m coming over there right now, she would have stopped me a long time ago. Why don’t you tell me what is really going on with you, why are you trying to stop me from speaking up, are you involved in this as well, are you working with Ariel to ruin my life, who the fuck are you working with, what are you hiding from…”

I couldn’t finish that question, next thing I knew, a truck was ramming into my car, taking me unaware as the car lost control and somersaulted many times, hitting any nearby cars before stopping. I couldn’t see properly, my head was in chaos, my eyes were seeing double, I had no idea what was happening around me anymore. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn’t, my whole body hurts and I can’t feel any part of my body. I heard a screeching sound coming towards me, I had to force my eyes open, and that was when I saw the truck coming towards me at full speed, coming to finish me off. I screamed like never before, screaming my lungs out. I couldn’t move, I can’t save myself, oh my God, I’m going to die, I’m going to fucking die. Why the hell didn’t I listen to my friends, why did I have to be so damn stubborn?
