THE BILLIONAIRE BRIDE - CHAPTER 39&40

<< BROOKS INTERNATIONAL>>

“I won’t deny Mr Brooks, I love everything about this project and am sure that if we invest in it, we will be making a large sum of money” Camila Parker said as she took a seat in Damian office.

“Since we are on agreeable terms, you wouldn’t mind signing the contract so we can begin our project” Damian said as Sandra put the contract in front of her and Camila took the pen being offered by Damian to put hee signature on the sheet.

“I hope to see reward soon” Camila said, rising up from her seat.

“You definitely will and err…if you don’t mind, I will like to ask you something” Damian said.

“Ask away” she said, sitting on the chair once again.

“How did your brother get to know Mitchell. Am sorry if am bringing up my personal problem again but I will like to know”

“My brother didn’t know her personally. She was brought in by his wife, Devon Parker and her cousin Justin”

“I have never really like the two of them and when they brought Mitchell in, I dislike her on sight but my gullible brother agreed for her to be his new secretary ”

“Justin and Devon takes care of the Parker company in Rome while I handle the one at Canada which is why I don’t know much about the things happening but when you called me and told me about your project, I knew I couldn’t let it slide which is why I’m here to handle the deal myself” Camila added.

“And that’s something I will be grateful for always. Thanks for answering my question, I will let Sandra escort you out” Damian said as he watch the women leave his office.

With Mitchell out of his way, he can focus on the project.

<< EVENING ~ HOTEL ZEUS >>

Mitchell stood outside the hotel, waiting for someone to show up.

The arrival of a limo got her leaving where she stood to go wait for whoever is alighting the car.

“Took you long enough, Justin” Mitchell said and Justin frown down at her.

“Before you begin to talk, I’d like to go to my room, take me there ” He said and she did as he said.

“They were about to sign the divorce paper when Camila showed up. Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?” Mitchell demand the moment they got into his suite.

“You know a glass of whiskey will do In this kind of situation ” Justin said.

A vex Mitchell went to the drink counter to pour him a glass of whiskey.

“Will you answer me now”

“You see Mitchell, Curiosity ki||s the cat. Didn’t someone ever tell you that?” Justin ask after drinking the content in the glass.

“Not when this cat is your partner. When I came with the whereabout of Mr Parker twins, you and Devon stop me from saying a thing to Mr Parker and then you told me to help you guys which I agree to. So that makes me your partner”

“Fine then, what exactly do you want to know Mitchell?” Justin ask.

“Everything, I want to know everything”

“I will start from the begining. Parker once had a wife which out of stupidity he let her go and to get her revenge on him, she didn’t tell him that she’s expecting his twin. Twin who turn out to be June and Violet”

“It was years later that he found out about it but his wife had died and there was no trace of his twin. It would have been great for Devon and I if he never knew of their existence but his stupid investigator got a whiff that his twin is alive and that got Parker changing his will, leaving everything to his twin”

“The foolish old man didn’t even leave anything for Devon who is his wife and me,who have been doing everything for his company to grow. Then you showed up with the whereabout of his twin and it was then we decided to make things work in our favour ” Justin said, leaving his seat to go pour himself another drink.

“Our plan initially is to get one of his twin, get her to be on our side so when she inherits the fortune Parker leaves for her , we will get some for ourselves”

“So who do you think will be more reliable between the twin? Violet or June” Mitchell ask.

“We’ve seen Violet already but one look at her and Parker wouldn’t want to leave his fortune to her which is why we have decided to go with June”

“From what you’ve told me, she is the better twin, right?”

“She is but there is the hurdle of her husband. Damian won’t let his wife leave with you or anyone else” Mitchell said.

“Why should we bother telling him when we can take her from him”

“You plan on kidnapping her?” Mitchell ask.

“Bingo. Since they manage to get out of the divorce,they must be one strong couple but we must end that if we want to accomplish our goal”

“I still don’t get something. If you succeed in kidnapping June, will she be willing to do everything you ask of her?”

“She won’t! Being the good one, she won’t want to deceive her long lost father but Devon and I have something plan for that too. You see, Devon has this crazy doctor friend, he deals with all kind of drug and one of it causes memory loss, once we inject the drug into her, every of her life history goes blank” Justin said, smiling as he visualize the whole thing.

“Well since you’ve got it all covered. I just have to play along. What do you want me to do now?”

“For now, I want you to keep befriending Damian sister, she will be playing a crucial part in our plan”

“That’s easy”

“Good then. You can leave now, I need to get some rest, it’s been a long flight” he said,stretching.

“Sure but one thing. Don’t go falling for June too, I have had enough of men around me falling for that dumb girl”

“Jealous she stole the man you love” Justin mock and she rolled her eyes at him.

“Once you take her to Rome, I will get to have Damian to myself”

“Don’t worry. Have seen Violet already and if they are identical, June wouldn’t be any different from her and girls like that don’t shift a thing in my body” Justin assured her and when Mitchell left.

Mark, Justin personal bodyguard came into the suite with his suitcase.

“Did you see the girl that just left my suite?” Justin ask and he gave a nod.

“She will be next person you get rid of for me but for now, she’s still useful to us, so let her be” Justin told him and he nodded again since he hardly talk, he is like Justin terminator who he use in getting rid of people who gets in his way.

“Leave my things there. We are going out together, have got to see what this other twin looks like”

*******
<< ROME ~ PARKER RESIDENCE >>

Devon left the pool area, heading into the house to begin her mandatory wife task.

She roll her eyes in annoyance as she walk into the room Lionel Parker was.

As soon as the old man saw her, he told his nurse to leave and urge Devon to come seat with him.

“It’s been two days since you’ve come see me. Afraid to contact my disease?” Lionel ask and she shake her head, forcing fake tears to her eyes.

“You know I don’t think like that and you don’t have a disease that will be contaminated, you only have cancer, stage four to be precise” Devon said.

“Which is slowly ki||ing me. My only regret is that, I won’t ever meet my children” Lionel said sadly.

“You will live long enough to meet them and….do you still insist on putting your twin down as the sole inheritor? What about Justin and I? You didn’t leave anything for us” the moment Devon said that, the old man pull his hand away.

“I left you two something already”

“You call two cottages and your villa in the Caribbean an inheritance? Don’t you think we deserve more?” Devon ask.

“That’s all am going to give you. Let’s end this conversation, I need to sleep” He said, turning his back on her.

She glared at him for a while and left his room. Ignoring the greeting from the maid, she went straight to the basement which two of her most trusted men were guarding.

As soon as she walk in, she saw Violet tied with chain on the floor while her doctor friend, Sky, stood beside a table, mixing chemicals together.

“How is she?” Devon ask.

“Just as you want her to be. I have been injecting into her the drug, its the kind which will ki|| her slowly” Sky said.

“What about the other one for the June twin?”

“It’s prepared too. I gave it to Justin and am preparing more for future purpose”

“Very well done, Sky” she said, giving him a kiss.

She went to Violet who look weak due to the drug being injected into her.

“W…who are….you ?îtçh?” Violet ask and that got Devon laughing.

“Well ?îtçh! I am your daddy wife and I will be the one who end your life. Don’t worry, even after your death, you will be playing an important role for us” Devon said, hitting her on the head.

Her phone began to ring and on seeing the caller, she immediately pick up.

“About time you call. What’s happening there in Australia?” Devon ask.

“Nothing serious. Am just keeping a eye on our prey” Justin said.

“You mean you’ve met June?”

“Not exactly but I will soon. Just take care of things there and I will take care of things here”

“Don’t worry, have got it all handled”

“Good then. Just called to let you know that my plane landed safe, I have to go for now ” He said and end the call.

In the confine of his car, Justin sat watching June and a friend of hers in the open cafe.

The girl said something that got June laughing.

Seeing this, Justin let down the wind screen to see June clearly and slowly, a smile spread across his mean face.

“Interesting”
