Dangerous Billionaire

I’ll never let you go

Lexi arrives at the ICU. He immediately went to see the nurse on duty tonight.

“Where was the hit-and-run victim?” Lexi asked. He was really worried if what Arsene informed him was true.

“The victim is still in the treatment of doctors, there is a wound on her head,” the nurse said.

“Can I see it?” Lexi asked.

“Sure, let me take you.” The nurse got up from her seat and escorted Lexi to the far end of the room.

The man watched from afar. He gave attention to the doctor who was suturing the wound on the patient’s forehead. Although he was hesitant, Lexi walked over.

“Excuse me, doctor?”

“Yes,” the doctor replied, turning around. “You are her family?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

At that moment Lexi could see the patient’s face, she was not Jessica. “Sorry, I am not her family!” Lexi replied.

Lexi came out of the ICU and it turned out that Arsene was there.

“How is it, Sir? Is Miss Jessica there?” Arsene asked, he was worried.

“No, the victim of the accident was not Jessica.” Lexi left out. There was something strange about Jessica suddenly disappearing. Where’d she go?

“I will keep looking for her!” Arsene suggested. If Jessica disappears, it was not just Lexi who’s sad. Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel would be sad too.

“Have you seen Chelsea?” Lexi asked. If it was not Beryl, then Chelsea would help her.

“Until this moment Chelsea also can not be found, only Mr. Arman who was at home this morning,” Arsene said.

“I’m going there now!” Lexi glanced at the watch, he was not realizing if it was near midnight and wanted to go to Chelsea’s house right now.

One week later.

Lexi was sitting in her chair. He looked out the window. Jessica disappeared one week ago. His wife was not at Chelsea’s House neither in Singapore, Lexi has told people to check it out at Beryl’s residence in Singapore.

“Where do you think Jessica went?” Lexi asked Arsene who was still busy checking the financial statements of the company branch.

“We will definitely find her, Sir, moreover I have added some people to find her immediately!” Arsene replied confidently.

“This is not only for me, but also for my parents! I’ve been really dizzy for a week now every night my mom keeps asking where Jessica is. Even so with Mrs. Grace, never absent to send me a message to find out where Jessica is!” Lexi said obviously. He was also worried about his wife’s whereabouts.

“I think you miss her too, sir!” Arsene didn’t even turn his eyes away from the laptop screen. He found Lexi secretly watching photos of his wife on the screen of his phone several times.

Lexi turned his face away. He cleared his throat and avoided the mocking smile of his secretary.

“Actually, for one week, I told people to spy on Chelsea, and Chelsea went to a place that is rarely visited, Ronald is still monitoring even though he does not know whether Chelsea went to see Jessica or not!” Arsene told. He just didn’t want to give fake hope to the boss.

Not only sleeplessness, Arsene also knew that Lexi also skipped breakfast and lunch. Lexi only focused on the phone screen to always update where the wife was.

“Take me to that place!” Lexi was impatient. He got just one clue but he would be moving soon. ‘I want to meet Jessica soon.’

“Now?”

“Sure!”

Lexi answered loudly. He stood up from his seat. He hoped to see Jessica soon and he wanted to immediately find her.

Arsene closed the laptop screen and scratched his fingers. “Okay,” he replied. “But sir, have you fallen in love with Miss Jessica?” he really wanted to hear a confession from Lexi.

The Boss chose to pretend not to hear. He left his office first. The man was still silent until they arrived at the parker area in the basement.

Arsene walked over first and opened the door for Lexi. Then, he got behind the wheel and began to drive his four-wheeled vehicle through the streets of the city to the address given by Ronald.

“Didn’t anyone know you were here?”Jessica asked She was sitting next to Chelsea.

“Nope, just calm down, we are safe!” the corners of her lips form a smile. “I was very careful, even though during this one week some of Mr. Lexi’s servants came to the house and my dad in the office was also questioned by his secretary, but I’m sure, no one knows your whereabouts!” Chelsea answered convincingly.

“Thank you!” Jessica could breathe a sigh of relief. She was quite relieved that Lexi hadn’t found her hiding place.

“Actually, I have something to ask!”Chelsea scratched the back of his head, which was not itchy. She didn’t know what Jessica was doing right now.

“Just ask, I’ll answer!”

“I still don’t understand, why don’t you come with Beryl to Singapore if here you are also hiding from Mr. Lexi!”Chelsea really wanted to know her reason.

“I don’t want to remember Beryl! Even if I leave Mr. Lexi’s house, I don’t want to burden anyone. Beryl, Mrs. Grace, and you!”Jessica asked.

“Is that all?” She asked again to Jessica. “Don’t you have feelings for Mr. Lexi! Jessica?” She insisted.

Jessica was silent. To this day, she still didn’t know how she felt about Lexi. Yes, she hasn’t yet accepted the fact that she had fallen for the man who had taken away her honor by force.

“I heard rumors that Mr. Lexi went to Bali with Cassandra, is that true?” Chelsea asked. She just wanted to make sure what was really going on.

Jessica nodded. She didn’t dare to imagine it, to remember Cassandra walked out of Lexi’s room alone. She was sick of it.

“Don’t just be silent! I just want to know, your first day in Bali you look so happy with Mr. Lexi, I also received a lot of pictures of you, but why were you get back with Beryl?” Chelsea asked. There was something Jessica was hiding.

Jessica did not answer. Her lips were tightly closed with her spikelets of tears that had barely escaped moistening her cheeks.

“Jess,” Chelsea softly looked intently at her best friend’s face. “Jess, are you okay?”

Jessica’s lips trembled. A huge dam on her eyelids collapsed in tears. Dropped tears soaked Jessica’s cheeks.

“I-.” Jessica swallowed hard, trying to control herself.

“Why?”

Chelsea gently wiped Jessica’s tears. She rarely ever saw Jessica cry. Although Jessica hasn’t said it yet, Chelsea was sure that Beryl took Chelsea home first because of something! Not just because of his selfishness.

After a whole minute, Jessica managed to pull herself together to stop her crying. “I’ll tell you,” she said with a wistful look.

Chelsea held Jessica’s hand. The look on her friend’s face showed sadness. She had never seen Jessica so sad. Even the smile painted on her lips implied the pain she felt.

“I saw Cassandra come out of Mr. Lexi’s room, early in the morning! They spent the night together!”Jessica was getting deeper. What a pain she felt, feeling so stupid! Lexi was healed. What about Jessica? She thought that she was being trapped in feelings and her terrible marriage. Pitiful!

Chelsea grabbed Jessica in an embrace. Fortunately, the atmosphere of the cafe was still quiet because there was no time for people to have lunch.

From a distance two pairs of eyes were watching Chelsea and Jessica from earlier. The two of them were Lexi and Arsene.

“Who owns the cafe?” Lexi asked .

Arsene took out his tablet, then began to find out about ADC cafe.

“Buy the coffee!” Lexi ordered and started planning something to bring Jessica home.
