Which Billionaire

Chapter 32

I wake up, pulling the covers up to my chin and reaching my arm across the bed. When I don't feel a hard body next to me I groggily open my eyes to see myself all alone. I frown but shut my eyes again turning over and smelling the sheets, his scents surrounding me, making me miss him immediately.

When I roll over to his side I hear a crumbling sound and I quickly turn over and pull the thing out from under my back. I rub my eyes and try to focus on the piece of paper in my hands. The sunlight from the window casting over me and it.

'Went into the office, some stupid idiot messed up on some of the paperwork for selling a new software update so I have to go fix it before I loose the buyer and or my father finds out and I have to see the prick-' I can practically hear the irritation in his writing 'I love you and I know you have to go back to Theo today, if I don't see you before then I love you and call me when you can or can get away...thank you for being the most perfect beautiful woman I love, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't standing by me yesterday, you're my angel and I love you more every day
-Vincent'

I feel my cheeks and ears burn, my heart flutters and I set the letter down on the nightstand, stretching my arms and back. Even though I'm alone I feel ok, my brain starts to turn on yesterday and everything that happened...some of that I just can't believe. All I hope is that Vincent's ok. How could all of this happen? I married a drug lord who is using me as leverage, Vincent's Father lied to him his whole life, his real Mother is Annie, the Mother that raised him has a horrible illness and can hardly remember him, on top of that Edward put her in a home all alone. I have a bad feeling, Theo's planning something and I'm scared, I'm scared of him, I'm scared of what he could do to me. Who does he have power over? Who else do I have to be scared of? And why do I have to go back to him today, I groan at the thought.

I run my hand through my hair to feel it's a little greasy, but I took a shower last night-...? oh. The thought of the shower makes my cheeks turn bright red. I shake my head to get the inappropriate images of him out of my brain and stand, making my way into the kitchen.

I find the coffee grounds and pour some into the high tech coffee machine and press five different buttons before it finally starts to brew. I go over to the fridge, to hopefully get something to eat, but when I open the steel doors the shelves are practically empty. I frown to myself, Vincent is such a man, never having anything to eat. I could go to the store? Last time I went I wasn't in the best state of mind and then Annie stole me away from my cart.

That's what I'll do, I don't like the idea of waiting around, staring at the door for Vincent to come home from work.

The coffee machine beeps at me telling me my one cup of coffee is ready. I take the black coffee and remember out of the very sparse things in the fridge he did have my creamer. I smile and take it out, pouring it in until the once bitter black liquid is a chestnut brown. I laugh thinking about it, I guess he expects me to live off of coffee.

I take my coffee mug and pad my feet through the living room. I jump, almost spilling my coffee, when I hear a knock on the door. I stare wide eyed over at it, wondering who it could be. Is it his father coming back to tell us that he's going to tell Theo and that he's going to take away Vincent's company? Is it my parents coming to tell me they know what I've done? Or is it Theo...has he figured out what me and Vincent's plan is, does he know we've been meeting?

My heart thuds against my chest as I slowly walk over to the door, praying silently that's it's none of those people. I clutch the mug in my hand and stand on my tiptoes when I reach the door, looking in the eyehole. My head tilts in confusion as I see who's outside. I take the handle in my hand and slowly open the door.
