Bargain Bride: The Billionaire's Forced Wife

6: Nuptial

WHEN DANTE was sure that his bestfriend's beloved already reached their home, he pulled one of his phones and dialled Ezio's number.

Ezio, who was in the middle of a meeting, didn't feel his phone vibrating.

"Motherfucker," Dante cussed when Ezio wasn't able to answer the phone call. "Answer me, motherfucker."

He called him again. While waiting for him to answer, one of his men entered the room.

"Boss," the man greeted and extended his arm to give a folder. "Here's the information that you're looking for."

Dante nod and dismissed the man. Fortunately, Ezio was able to answer the call on the second try.

"Hello—"

Ezio's words were cut short by Dante. "Don't hello-hello me, dumbass," he said in a mocking tone. "If you're cara's in danger, she will be dead by now."

Ezio's heart started thumping so loud because of fear. He hurriedly stood up and walked with huge steps to leave his office.

"What happened to my cara?" he asked with a firm voice, but full of worry. "If something happened to her, I will cut your limbs one by one."

"Relax, my friend," Dante spoke while trying to calm him down. "She's safe and sound. I just want to inform you that she's already home."

Ezio felt relieved when he heard that. He blew a heavy breath before talking. "Give me updates. Now."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Impatient," Dante said in a playful tone before starting his report.

"Well at first, nothing eventful happened. Just like what I said earlier, she bought a green dress. Afterwards, she walked for a few moments and then," he purposely stopped to make his friend curious.

"Them what?" Ezio asked. "I'm not paying you to give me incomplete information."

Dante chuckled. He really likes messing with his friend. It always completes his day.

"Then, she met a person. Guess what gender it is?" he said, imitating the tone of a gameshow host.

"A woman?" Ezio asked, hoping that his cara didn't meet up with a man. But if she did, there will be hell to pay.

"Engk," Dante said which means that his answer is incorrect. "Sorry to say, man. But she met a man."

Dante, who wants to mess with his friend more, made him jealous even though he knew that he is already filled with jealousy.

"I can't forget that she looked very happy when saw the man, my friend. She was smiling from ear to ear," he started while holding his laughter. "They even hugged each other."

The last part was a lie. Chiara didn't hugged the man. He said that to make him more jealous.

When he didn't hear anything but deep breathing on the other line, Dante knew that he is starting to hit his short patience. But that wouldn't stop him.

"They talked for a while before going for a walk around the mall. Chiara was so happy being with him that she wouldn't stop talking. I just don't know what they have talked about."

Dante was so amuse on teasing his friend, but on the other line, Ezio was full of jealousy, insecurity, and sadness.

His head is telling him that the man that Chiara met up with is her ex-boyfriend, Simone. That would explain why she was so happy when she was with that man.

Insecurities filled him when he realized that since their marriage, he never saw Chiara smiled because of him. Chiara never hugged him. Heck, she didn't even want to touch or hold him, not even his fingers.
