The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Being Pampered 

While Anya was trapped in doors, Mathias was in a trap of his own making 

Daniel had found him. He had been careful to inform the organization about where he was to get his men over, but when he was discharged, trouble came like rain. 

Mathias was seated at the back of a car driving him to a safe house when his phone rang. 

It was an unknown number. 

“It is not good to run,” Daniel’s voice came from the other end, and Mathias froze. 

“How did you get this number?” Mathias asked. 

“The same way I found you. Say, Mathias, the best way to run from someone is to stay low. Not by poking around their business,” Daniel said, and Mathias felt the urge to curse. 

He suddenly realized what gave him away. Hazel. There was no way Daniel would not investigate Hazel and her mother after what he heard Hazel’s mother had taken. Mathias‘ men were watching Hazel. It would have been easy for Daniel to trace him that way.” 

Mathias for a Monet wondered if he was stupid. 

“I sometimes do wonder if you are stupid,” Daniel said, seeming to read his mind. “It is honestly surprising you could fake being the bead of the Dark Hand this long.” 

“What do you want?” Mathias asked. 

“A witness when I expose Mr. President,” Daniel answered. 

“What?” Mathias exclaimed. He was sure that Daniel now knew who the real head of the Dark Hand is. 

“Brace yourself,” Daniel said, and the car Mathias was in was slammed from the side, causing it to skid off the road to a stop. 

Mathias‘ wound ripped open from the impact, blood escaped his barely healed wound, and he went dizzy from the pain. 

It did not take long before he was taken. 

Daniel and Anya sat in the quiet of the mansion’s library. Anya was reading and ignoring him. This was now common for her. Daniel did not like being ignored. He had been doing some research on what women liked. 

Glancing at the girl beside him, Daniel turned to Anya and asked her if she wanted to go shopping. 

Anya paused and stared at him in surprise, her eyes widening in disbelief at the unexpected offer. She wondered if Daniel had finally changed his mind, if he was finally ready to let her out of the house. 

For a moment, Anya hesitated, but she had stayed inside too long. She did not care what they were going to do. She nodded, and he said he would arrange it. She hurried upstairs to change into a dress and hurried back down only to pause at the sight in the living room. 

Her excitement quickly turned to confusion as she came face to face with an army of personal shoppers waiting to cater to her every whim.

Racks upon racks of clothes lined the walls, their vibrant colors and luxurious fabrics a stark contrast to the eggshell tones of the mansion’s interior. 

Anya’s eyes widened in disbelief as she took in the scene before her, before she cursed at herself for believing his nonsense. She had thought that he was finally ready to let her out, but instead, she was met with a lavish display of money, the kind that can only be seen on TV. 

Anya’s anger flared hot and bright as she turned to face Daniel, her voice shaking with fury as she struggled to contain her emotions. 

“What in the K–drama is this?” Anya demanded, her words sharp with accusation. “I thought you were taking me shopping, but you brought the shop here?” 

Daniel’s expression softened slightly at Anya’s outburst; he realized she thought he would be taking her out. It was not that he did not want to, but he had become increasingly afraid that she would be out there unsafe when he was not looking. 

“You can’t go out, Anya,” Daniel said, his voice soft and low as though he were whispering. but he was loud enough to be heard. It was as though he was afraid she would stop talking since she had gained the habit of ignoring him. “Doesn’t shopping make girls happy? You can pick whatever you want.” 

But Anya shook her head, her eyes blazing with indignation as she glared at Daniel with undisguised anger. 

“Have you been watching too many dramas?” Anya said, her voice trembling with emotion. 

“I don’t watch dramas,” he answered. 

“Who brings a shop here just to stop someone from going out? You know this is forced imprisonment, right?”

With those words ringing in the air, Anya turned on her heel and stormed out of the grand foyer, leaving Daniel surrounded by the sea of clothes and personal shoppers. 

As she made her way back to her room, she was full of disappointment and frustration. What did he think she was–apet? 

But before she could go up the stairs, he rushed up and carried her. 

“You should stay off your feet; you are still recovering,” he cautioned. 

“Says who? I am perfectly fine!” She shouted at him. 

He could tell her frustration was growing. 

Desperate to cheer her up, Daniel put her down on the sofa. 

“Just look and see if you like anything,” he said. 

“What’s the point of shopping when we’re stuck at home?” Anya retorted, her tone filled with bitterness. “When have you ever seen someone shop from the comfort of their own home?” 

“Plenty of people shop online, Anya,” Daniel countered. He could not see the problem. “It’s not that uncommon.” 

But Anya shook her head, her expression skeptical as she shot Daniel a look filled with disbelief. 

“How is that the same thing?” she asked.

“How is this any different?” he countered.
