Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Bella‘s POV. I thought for a long time and said, “But I still need to contact them directly? If they can‘t see me all the time They must be worried and suspicious!”

Herbert looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then said, ‘Okay, but it‘s a little late today. You can call your family and friends tomorrow morning, but you must have Miranda by your side. Bella, dont have any other thoughts, or they will all live a miserable life! I know he could definitely do it. I didnt dare to imagine his cruel means. It was a very simple method. If he found someone to threaten my mother and sister, they would definitely not be able to take it.

As for Joey, if he fired her, her life would be in trouble

Even if I told them my current situation, they couldnt help me and it would only get them into trouble

I looked around at the luxurious house in front of me and instantly changed my mind.

Wasnt it just living here for a few months? The environment here was good and someone would took care of me. The air in the mountain was also very beneficial to pregnant women. It was better to live here for a few months first. Everything could be decided after giving birth.

The next second, I yelled, “I‘m hungry!” I still felt helpless and depressed, but I had no way to resist. I could only choose to compromise temporarily. Herbert turned around and shouted to the door, “Miranda, Mrs. Wharton is hungry. Bring dinner here!”

“Coming! Coming!” Miranda‘s voice came from outside the door. The two dishes Miranda brought were my favorite. The taste of hunger was too uncomfortable, and it was even worse to be hungry with pregnancy. After a few mouthful of food, the feeling of hunger dissipated a lot, and I had the strength to continue to fight against Herbert. At this time, Miranda said, “Mr. Wharton, it‘s not easy to go down the mountain road at night. Why dont you stay for one night before you go? I‘ll help you prepare clothes and bedding.”

Herbert stood still and said nothing. I immediately raised my head and said, “If you want to stay you’d better stay next door. If I don‘t sleep well, it will directly affect your child!” It‘s impossible for me to sleep with a man who deliberately imprisoned me and threatened me. Herbert said, ‘I have a date tonight. I need to go back immediately.”

A date? With Caroline?

I was even angrier, but I didn‘t dare to question Herbert. I could only continue to have dinner without saying a word. The next moment, he growled, Tll come here once a month in the future to see if you‘ve grown fat. If you lose weight, I‘ll make your sister Betty is unable to go to college!”

18.461 This man was really bad. I was the one who had been imprisoned and the one that lost my freedom. How dare he shout at me! I raised my head and stared at Herbert with resentment.

Not only was he mean, but he was also despicable. He used my family to force me to obey him. Herbert turned and left. Miranda ran out to see him off. After they left, I chewed the rice in my mouth and patted a soft pillow with my hand, cursing, “Herbert, you bastard! Bastard...” After sending off Herbert, Miranda came up and said to me, “Mrs. Wharton, why... why did you do this? Mr. Wharton...” “Don‘t mention him to me in the future.” I stopped her. Miranda shook her head and left. From this day on, I began to try to live here peacefully. Every morning, I would ask Miranda to accompany me to the nearby woods. I would take a walk by the stream and breathe the fresh air in the mountain.

In the evening, I sat in front of the floating window and watched the stars. When I was free, I would take out my own book to study. Ever since I got entangled with Herbert, my wish to be a certified accountant had been postponed. Now there was a chance for me to study, and no one would disturb me. Soon, I was almost five months pregnant. It was almost time for the pregnancy check–up. I still had another hope. Maybe I could meet my mom and Betty when I went home for the pregnancy check–up. However, this thought would be shattered one day in the future. That afternoon, I was sitting on the balcony basking in the sun. Suddenly, the gate of the garden opened and a black Bentley drove into the garden. That was the car of Herbert. He probably came here to check on my weight. Today was just a month away from the last hunger strike. However, another ambulance from the hospital also drove into the garden. I was very confused. Why did he bring an ambulance here? Then, I saw Herbert come down from the Bentley, followed by Connor. Then the door of the ambulance opened, and two female doctors in white coat and two nurses with medical equipment walked out.
