The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 69

I walked out of the shower as I dreaded the meeting I was supposed to have with my parents earlier today. I can't believe that tomorrow it's my wedding and it doesn't even seem like it to me.

If not for the nuptial agreement, I would have broken off the engagement as soon as possible.

My two brothers were lying down on my bed waiting for me, they stood up as soon as they saw me coming out from the bathroom.

“What's going on here?” I asked them, they knew how I dislike someone lying on my bed. It is only Nina who I can permit to do that because she's the woman I'm in love with.

“ We came to talk to you, ” Vino replied. I nodded for him to continue even though I knew what he wanted to talk about. I walked to sit down on the couch opposite the bed, with my legs crossed I gave them my full attention.

“ Go on, I'm listening ” I urged them on when I saw that none of them was making any effort to say anything.

I was about to give up and stood up to get dressed when Vino finally said “ What are you going to do now? Tomorrow is the wedding ” Vino asked me.

“To be candid, I don't know either. I'm thinking of speaking to Mom and dad about the evidence but I'm afraid that they might brush it off as nothing” I replied, I've been thinking about this ever since the wedding was three days to go and since then I haven't found any solution.

“ I have a suggestion ” Victor said, Vino and I both urge him to go on. No advice was little at times like this....

“Why don't Vino and I go and check over the cabin again, who knows we might find the pen or necklace lying somewhere idle ” Victor replied as I nodded to Vino to go with Victor to search the cabin again.

Though, I wasn't hopeful of them finding anything there seeing that the police had searched all everywhere including the bushes but nothing was found.

Vino and Victor both stood up to leave my room. I went to the closest to pick out my dress just as I heard the knock on my door. I quickly dressed up and went to open the door.

Maria stood at the door holding a suit bag in her hands. She handed it to me “ Signora asked me to give it to you. She said to tell you that your tuxedo has arrived ” I collected it from her and deposited it angrily on the bed without opening it.

Mom sure knows how to spoil my mood very early in the morning. I double checked my outfit to see that I was okay as I will be going over to check Nina at the hospital after my meeting with my parents.

I walked down the stairs to see that they were both at the breakfast table. Both Vino and Victor were nowhere to be found. I guessed they had left earlier for the assignment I had given them.

“ Good morning Mom and dad ” I greeted the both of them before taking my seat across from Mom but beside Dad.

Dad was going through the morning papers just as he always did before breakfast “ Michael how are you? I trust you like your tuxedo, right?”

I forced myself not to roll my eyes at her. Can't she see that I'm not in the mood to discuss whether my tuxedo is fine or not?.

I ignored her as I grabbed a piece of bread from the plate across from her, I placed the egg on it and munch on it slowly with no care in the world.

Dad dropped the newspaper and turned to look at me seriously. “ Are you okay son?” He asked me also, turning to take bread from the table.

“ Yes dad ” I replied shrugging. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be okay seeing that Nina was safe and sound.

“ Are you sure because you don't look like someone who's getting married tomorrow ?” Dad continued, I was tempted to tell them about the evidence but knowing my father he's going to call the Meltons out and that wouldn't be good for me.

I want Deborah to be apprehended in front of millions of people and most especially in front of the camera.

“ I'm okay, dad just stressed out from the events of these past few days. ” I replied, shrugging. My phone ringing caused me to excuse myself from the breakfast table as I went out to receive the call.

I accepted the call just as I got into the car “ Yes tell me ” I commanded into the phone seeing that it was Andrea calling. I wasn't in the mood to exchange peasantries with anyone.

“ Michael ” Nina's gentle voice called from the side of the phone. My hands froze as I wanted to put the key in the ignition. My heart beat escalated as I let her voice calm me down.

“ Nina, How are you ?” I asked her, surprised that she was even calling me. I guess her father is not in the hospital.

“ I'm okay, where are you? We need to talk ” Nina told me from the other end of the line. I could hear Lilian arguing with Danny over the phone but my heart couldn't stop beating, wondering what she wanted to talk to me about?.

“ I'm on my way to the hospital now.” I replied just as the phone went dead in my hands. I dropped the phone onto the dashboard and pulled out of my parents' driveways. I took the fastest route to the hospital, while also thinking about what Nina wanted to talk about?.
