A Trillionaire’s Revenge novel Chapter 21

Two days later..

I pace around the living room anxious, as I await aunt Ruth's call. My legs are hurting in my Louboutin heels but I ignore. Luke had gotten me an iPhone, a gesture he believed meant that he now trusted me completely.

Luke had gone to work, and the house was as quiet as usual. I hadn't seen or heard from Laurel for a few days and I couldn't deny the fact that I was worried if she was alright. The Laurel I knew would have been pissing me off everyday, continuously.

Aunt Ruth's text comes in and I read. I had asked her to reach out to Rocky and José respectively. I had to know exactly what he intended to do so I could stop him on time.

Aunt Ruth; Child, for the love of God tell your husband who Rocky is! I have just spoken to Rocky and he wasn't even keen on telling me anything and was even extremely rude to me.

I text back; No, Aunt! No, please, I can never ever tell Luke the truth because I fear for Rocky's life! What did José say?

Aunt Ruth; He only said he knows you've been brainwashed and that he's with Rocky no matter what decision he makes.

I don't reply her last text because I didn't know exactly what to say.

"Emmanuele!" I call as I sit on the couch. I am rubbing my temple as she arrives.

"Madam, are you having a headache? Do you need a massage or some medicine?"

"No, no, Emmanuele, may I have a glass of water, please?"

"Yes, madam." Emmanuele says as she rushes to get a glass of water.

Emmanuele returns with a glass of water and I'm grateful. "Thank you." I say, handing her the empty glass. She nods, a smile on her face.

"Where is Laurel?" I ask, genuinely wondering where she was.

"I haven't seen her in two days." She says

"She left?"

"Well, I don't know, I'd find out for you though."

I give an approving nod, "What's for dinner?"

"According to Mr. Carrington's meal plan, steak, guacamole, calamari corn soup and cinnamon rolls for dessert.

"I love calamari, but may I have spaghetti bolognese for dinner?"
