Sold To A Billionaire

Kidnapped

THE NEXT day, Helios and his friends leave early. Cindy and Sam decided then that they would stay for a while. “You didn’t come down last night, huh, Zoe? What did you do inside the room?” asked Cindy, carrying her daughter. After bathing her daughter and dressing her, Cindy immediately took the little girl. “Yeah. You left us with those jerks downstairs,” Sam complained while busy tying her shoelaces. Zoe was delighted that Sam could get along and erased the awkwardness. Zoe just shook her head and returned things to her daughter’s bag. “We just talked,” she replied. “Really? Just talking… no touching?” asked Cindy. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Ah, that’s why there are hickeys on the top of your left chest and neck?” asked Sam and grinned. “Oh. My. Gosh! Is that hickeys?” uttered Cindy and laughed along with Sam. At that time, she wants to be swallowed by the ground. When she finished, she acted as if she was not affected by the teasing from her friends. “We will be going or not?” she asked. Cindy smiled and began to sing. “Sex, baby, let’s talk about you and me. Let’s talk about all—" “Can you stop it? Please? You just sang once, but it’s out of tune,” said Zoe and started walking. She closed her eyes for a while when she heard the laughter of her friends. She was about to get out when her daughter suddenly called her, “Mimi,” said the little girl. She then turned to her, and the little girl spread her arms, approaching her. Cindy then went closer to her and gave Hela to her. She felt annoyed when Cindy let out a meaningful smirk on her face. She just raised an eyebrow and took the child, and walked downstairs. Her friends invited her to take a walk at Sam’s new resort in Philadelphia suddenly, and she didn’t personally ask Helios’s permission, but her friends told her to call Helios or send a message. She would take Bea with her so that her child would still have someone with her. Even if she and her friends were there, it would be different when Bea was there as the child’s assigned personalNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

nanny. And one more thing, she also wanted to take the girl for a walk. Bea has only been working with Helios for a month. She is still young—twenty-two years old, and came from a province. Because of poverty, Bea went to the city and took chances applying for jobs. Bea was patient and kind while with her daughter—a hardworking girl who she thinks can be trusted. She’s been comfortable with her even if they only stayed for a few days—they already get along. But she noticed something with the girl the other day. It seems like something is bothering her… like something is frightening. Sometimes she heard her crying while talking on the telephone. Yesterday, Bea didn’t even utter a word, which surprised her because Bea was naturally talkative and optimistic. But she just ignored it. It may be just a family problem or something. “Bea, everything all right?” she asked as she was pertaining about their things. “Yes, Ma’am,” replied the girl. She nodded and addressed the head of Helios’s bodyguards. They don’t want her to go out of the mansion, especially since Helios didn’t know about it. She then told the man to call Helios, but the latter’s phone couldn’t be reached. So, to calm the man down, she told him that they would bring four bodyguards with them. And the leader of the security team didn’t allow it again. The man told him to add more and even suggested that they should have two convoys—one in front and one at the back. She disagreed because that would only grab attention. What is she? The first lady of the state? “I’ll bring four. It’s final,” said Zoe and went inside the van. Helios owned the car. They decided to ride in one car, so her friends left at the mansion. According to Sam, the trip to Philadelphia took two hours, so they brought something to eat. Her friends told her just to lie over and eat inside a restaurant, but she disagreed. It will just be a waste of time if they do a stopover. After giving her child milk, she then put her to sleep. She was about to reach for the bag that had fallen when Sam suddenly spoke, “where are we going? This is not the right way!”

Zoe frowned. “W-What do you mean?” “This isn’t the way to our—” Sam didn’t finish what she said when someone pulled a gun and aimed it at them. “One wrong move. I pull the trigger and shoot your friend.” Zoe’s chest quivered as the gun's muzzle was pointed at her. “B-Bea, what… what’s the meaning of this?” she managed to ask. Bea didn’t reply and just smiled. It was not the same Bea she used to know. "Poor Helios, he doesn't expect his gem to be banished." ‘That voice,’ she thought. She was startled when she recognized the voice. “Bill,” she whispered. “Hi there, Zoe,” he said and looked at her from the rearview mirror. He lowered his glasses and grinned. “What’s happening?!” said Cindy and Sam in unison. Zoe just cried because of the realization that they had been kidnapped, and his enemy had outsmarted Helios. And a thought came across her mind. How did Bill get into Helios’s territory?
