THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25

Lilian suggested they should go somewhere else to relax, and de-stress. So, without any further ado, they decided to travel. As always, unplanned vacation was the best, and as soon as they their home, Daniella was excited to redeem herself, the old version of herself, before meeting a man named Marcus.

Fortunately, Paloma offered to supervise their kids!

It took them a day to arrive at their destination, but it was worth it. The place was refreshing, but they decided to relax for an entire night before exploring the entire resort, and the nearby tourist attractions in the whole province.

Daniella was overstuffed and drowsy, so as soon as she returned to her room, she threw herself onto the bed and put her phone's headset into it, where she listened to her favorite music. When Lilian returned, her eyelids were closed but she was not quite sleeping. After Patty and Thalia returned home with their children, Daniella chose to share a room with Lilian to cement their sisterhood.

When Lilian secured the door and perched on the side of the bed, she heard the click of the handle. "Are you not tired?" When Lilian stayed sitting after a few seconds, she inquired with her eyes closed.

"Dani...," Marcus murmured her name, and Daniella sat up straight when she realized it wasn't Lilian who had entered the room but... him!

"Marcus! How did you get here?" Daniella inquired, and it occurred to her that Gerald's concerns may be justified. Was Marcus the one who orchestrated everything to keep her alone? Alternatively, was it Lilian?

"I told you you were mine," he said as he pinned her to the bed. If necessary, he would use force to educate her!

Daniella guffawed.

Why do males frequently express themselves in this manner? As though they owned the woman? "I have no recollection of my family selling me to you, Marcus." She answered with a caustic remark. "You do not own me, Marcus, nor will you ever!" She continued.

"You have no option, Dani, or your daughter will never see you again!" He made a threat against her. Marcus was well aware that using their daughter to conquer her intransigence was unethical, but he had no alternative and it was the only solution Ortega could think of. Patty and Thalia, together with AJ and Vanessa, were probably already at Ortega's apartment. Samuel and Jessica were on their side and were willing to assist them. Indeed, the helicopter would land on Samuel's property, and they would be whisked away by automobile. It would have been ideal if they could have stayed on the farm, but there was Alicia, and Samuel was concerned that Alicia may harm the children.

Daniella blinked many times and quickly phoned Paloma's number to double-check. When Paloma answered her call, she responded, "Hello Ma?"

"Oh Ella, what brought you here? Are you on your way home now? "I already miss my grandchildren," Paloma said, and Daniella trembled with rage at the sound of her stepmother's voice.

Daniella examined Marcus, and his casual demeanor indicated that he was speaking the truth. "Where has AJ gone?" She inquired, her eyes teary. Anger and fury welled up within her, and she wished she could claw the man's eyes for stealing her daughter. How did he even accomplish that feat? "This morning, it wasn't my stepmother who contacted us; it was one of your cohorts, correct? What are you looking for, Marcus? Is it financial? "How much is it?" She spoke incessantly as she became concerned for AJ and Vanessa. What would Lilian do if she knew the truth about their children's disappearance?

He'd had enough of her accusing him of being a gold-digging thug. He had not felt the need to gloat about his money for the previous decade, but now he felt it was vital to come out and inform her of his true position. "I am not impoverished, Dani." As he stated.

Daniella arched one of her brows in response to his assertion that he was not impoverished. "I couldn't care less! Simply deliver my daughter to me!" She was incensed that Marcus could be so vicious and crafty.

"AJ and I will come as a bundle, Dani." He stated.
