The Billionaire's Assistant

Chapter 92- I Don't Trust You

I knew she was going to try playing smart, maybe run away, so I had to make sure someone was watching her.

I also had to check up on Katherine. I dialed her number and she picked like she had been waiting for my call.

“ Hi baby, how did it go?" She asked.

" Funny how it didn't take her long to accept her crime, I'm just wondering how she didn't think this through before thinking of threatening me.” I said as I walked back to my chair to sit down.

" Soon she'll be where she belongs,"

“ Yes," I said.

“ How are you coping without an assistant? I wish I could help you from home but my hand still has this bandage and it's annoying,” She said and I couldn't help but chuckle.

“ Don't worry I have an assistant taking care of everything," I said.

“ An assistant? Who?" She asked and I knew it was time to start confessing.

“ Uhm, I have a little confession to make," I said as I scratched the back of my head.

“ What confession? What have you done this time Mr. Vincenzo?” Whenever she calls me Mr. Vincenzo it tells me I'm in trouble or I might get into trouble.

" The thing is I might have pulled a few strings to bring you to my company,”

" What?!...” I had to pull the phone from my ear for the sake of my eardrum.

" I knew it, I knew it, I knew you had a hand, you sneaky handsome annoying man, I knew it, I just knew they wouldn't send me there just like that, I was a good student," She said.

“ Hey, don't make it sound like my company is hell, you should be grateful, you got this handsome man.”

" You forgot to add ‘annoying’,” She said and I couldn't help but laugh.

" I don't regret doing that, you were so unreachable and stubborn. I had to do what I had to do," I made my voice lower at the last part. I'm sure she understood what I meant.

If I hadn't kidnapped her and fucked some sense into her, by now we might still be going in circles and I didn't want that.

“ Baby," She suddenly said, sounding serious. God I'll never get tired of listening to her voice or hearing her call me baby.

“ What is it, my love?” I asked.

" I want to go visit my sister today, please can you take me there?” She asked.

“ Of course, I'll come home as soon as I'm done, then we'll go see her together, okay?"

“ Thanks baby, I love you," My heart, my poor heart, this woman owns me, everything about me was hers.

“ I love you more," I said.

“ See you later," She said.

“ Okay, kisses," I said before ending the call.

I've been practicing to walk slowly and so far it's been going well but I could still feel pain on my ankle but not as much as it used to be.

I was advised not to stress the leg too much and I knew Luca would be mad if he found out I was putting too much effort to start walking.

I just didn't feel good waiting for him to help me with everything.

I looked at my hand that was wrapped with a bandage and slowly started to remove it. My skin was red but it was no longer swollen.

I tried to feel the hand by shaking it a little, the pain was still there but not as unbearable as it was before. I could say it was getting better.

I got up from the bed as I slowly limped, heading for the door.

I opened the door and walked out of the room but when I got to the stairs I stopped. This was always the hardest part.

“ Ma'am do you need help?” I heard Fredrick, one of my guards ask.

“ No, it's nothing, I'm just exercising,” I said dismissing him but he didn't move, he just stood behind me.

" It's okay Fredrick, you don't have to stand behind me," I said as I took the first step down the stairs. Damn, that was hard.

“ I have been given the job to take care of you and that's what I'll do, sorry ma'am,” I was about to ask why he would say sorry when he suddenly scooped me into his arms and I screamed in surprise.

" You didn't have to,” I said.

" I'm just doing my job,” was his simple reply.

He walked down the stairs with me in his arms as he dropped me on the couch.

" Thank you,” I said and he nodded before going to take position not too far from me.

Well, this is just to show that I could limp but when it comes to the stairs, it was a no, no.

But I have to heal quicker, it's just taking too long.

This was getting frustrating.

“ She didn't try to run, she's on her way back to the office.”

“ Good," I said before ending the call.

Some minutes later the office door burst open with a disheveled looking Beatrice. I almost, almost pitied her but she did this to herself. Willingly walking into fire when she knew she would get burned.

“ I have them all here," she said as she showed me a flash. I stretched my hand and she quickly dropped it on my palm.

“ How do I know this is everything and you don't have something somewhere or how am I sure you deleted everything?” I asked with a raised brow.

" I swear on my Mom's grave this is everything, I don't have anything stored up anywhere I deleted everything but please don't tell the police anything I can't go to jail.” She said,

" I don't trust you," I said arrogantly.

“ Please, please, please, that's everything, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, I don't have any clip left with me that's everything." She said as she burst into tears going down on her knees.

“ So now you're begging? Wow, this is unbelievable," I said mockingly as her mouth wobbled.

She must be really scared of prison, how bad, she's going there anyway.

“ Fine, you can go."

What do you think he should do to her to make sure she surely has nothing left?
