Bargain Bride: The Billionaire’s Forced Wife

CHIARA REPLIED TO Fara’s message after reading it. If Alessandra wants to create chaos outside her mansion, then so be it. Chiara knew that she won’t be able to do much damage to them. Rather, she will be the one who will inflict damage to Alessandra’s image.

Panic cannot be seen in her face. Actually, she was calm. Chiara clicked the call button with the name of someone above it.

“Signora? Good day, ” the woman spoke from the other end of the line.

“Good day, Caterina, ” Chiara greeted back while Luigi is busy starting the car. “How are you doing?”

It’s been almost two weeks since Chiara sent Caterina to another country to hide from Giovanni. In Italy, Caterina is now considered dead after the hit and run accident. No burial happened as she has no other family in the country.

“I am doing fine, signora. It feels like a breath of fresh air, ” Caterina replied while sitting outside the window of her house. She was watching her flowers and plants while sipping chamomile tea.

Chiara smiled a little at her answer. “I’m glad to hear that. By the way, I actually called to update you about the leads you gave to us. ”

“Did you already catch them, signora?” she asked while remembering the information she gave to Chiara. It wasn’t a long list, but the number of spies she gave is alarming for the company.

Chiara nodded. “The list you gave is accurate. We were able to gather evidences against them and watched them, ” she responded, feeling the satisfaction of removing the traitors of the company. “I have fired all of them just today. ”

“I hope they also get dragged like me, ” Caterina joked and followed it with a small laugh. She can still remember how she was dragged out when Chiara discovered her doings.

It was embarrassing, but if that didn’t happen, she wouldn’t find out Giovanni’s true color. She would have continued on serving him and being a traitor to the Vitali empire. She cannot imagine hoe awful her life will be if Chiara didn’t catch her.

“I did, of course, ” Chiara spoke with boastfulness. “Some didn’t fight back and admitted immediately, and I was merciful to those people. I let them leave by themselves without any issues.”

“But for those who tried to gaslight me and deny every evidences, I didn’t hold back, ” she added with a smirk. “I let my guards drag them and throw them out. It was satisfying if you will ask me, them defending themselves and turning the tables even if the evidence is right in front of their face.”

“I can see myself to them,” Caterina spoke and it made Chiara chuckled a little bit. She didn’t even hold back in teasing her own self.

Chiara cleared her throat. “If you still have any information about Giovanni, even the smallest one, inform me about it. It might be helpful, ” she said, hoping to get more information from Caterina.

She doesn’t fully trust Caterina yet, that’s why she was still being observed by her men. However, for the past weeks, Caterina followed their agreement and lived her life under a new identity. She even changed her style and appearance to blend with other people.

Also, Caterina didn’t have any communication aside from her. When Chiara offered to give her a new phone, she said she preferred the keypad and outdated ones. She doesn’t want to have social media accounts and will use the phone for texts and calls only.

Chiara was pleased when Caterina said that. It will lower her exposure to other people and will be focused on having her own life.

“Does Giovanni being allergic to peanuts count?” Caterina asked to her as a response to her request. The question sounds funny, but she is serious on what she said.

“Maybe, ” Chiara responded. “If we have no other choice, then we can use that information.”

Caterina was silent for a little bit because she was thinking. She was looking for information about Giovanni or anything around him that can help them.

“Although we have a relationship, I’m aware that Giovanni has other women, ” she said in a low voice, but enough fir Chiara to hear her.

“Do you know who the other women are? ” Chiara asked for these women might also have information about Giovanni.

“I don’t know their names, I just know how they look like, ” she answered. “I will try to draw them based on my memory. ”

“And also, ” she trailed off her words, thinking of something. “If I remember it correctly, Giovanni will attend the grand opening of Soleira. He will bring one of his women in that event.”

Chiara recognized that event. A month ago, she received a card inviting her and Ezio to attend the opening of Soleira. Several people from the business field will attend.

“It can be his wife, ” Chiara commented.

Caterina shook her head while walking towards her art materials. “He said that he was supposed to bring his wife but she declined.”

“I see, ” Chiara answered.

Giovanni cannot bring Isabella, because the latter is still detained. He can’t attend the event without a date, so he will really resort on bringing one of his mistresses.

“You can extract information from the other women. I just don’t know how to do it but I’m sure you will find something, ” she spoke.

The two women ended their conversation when Chiara saw that they are arriving in their mansion. From a far, she can see the pregnant Alessandra making a scene.

The moment she stepped out of the vehicle, Alessandra attacked her. She tried to grabbed her hair but Chiara was fast enough to dodge her hands. Alessandra ended up scratching her nails on the car. It did hurt her, but it didn’t inflict even a small damage to the vehicle.

“What are you doing here?” Chiara spoke calmly while her phone was being clutched in her right hand. “You are making a mess in our territory.”

Alessandra’s ears were red because of frustration. “Bitch!” she launched herself to Chiara and grabbed the collar of her top.

Chiara didn’t attack back because she feared that she might put the baby’s life in danger. Luigi also waited for Chiara’s signal for him to step between.

However, Fara cannot control her annoyance anymore. This pregnant woman has been making a scene and shouting for almost half an hour. Her annoyance and anger was pent up inside her.

So, when she saw Alessandra hurting her signora, she didn’t think twice before grabbing Alessandra’s hair and pulling her away from Chiara.

“Ah!” Alessandra screamed while she was being pulled by Fara. She tried to scratch Fara’s face, but the latter is taller than her so she opt on scratching her arms only.

“You have no right to hurt signora Chiara like that!” she shouted at Alessandra’s face. “I don’t care if you’re pregnant! I will really shove your face to the ground!”

Fara pushed Alessandra towards the road while letting go of her hair. Alessandra looked like a mess but she didn’t back out. She looked at Chiara with glaring eyes.

“How dare you seduce my husband?!” she shouted while pointing firmly at Chiara. “You’re a slut! Leeching to another man even if you’re married!”

Chiara rolled her eyes to Alessandra, much to the latter’s annoyance. Chiara didn’t respond to her, instead, she waited on what more Alessandra will say. She even ignored the lurking shadow near them.

The pregnant woman took huge steps to Chiara, but Fara used her body as a shield while glaring at her with widened eyes. Alessandra tried to pushed Fara out of the way but the maid pushed her back using her own body – her chest, specifically.

“I knew it! I knew you couldn’t move on from Simone so you’re seducing him now!” she continued to scream even if Fara was on her way. “My husband wouldn’t look at me anymore because you’re seducing him! Bitch! I will ruin your face!”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

When Alessandra tried go attack once again, Fara grabbed both of her hands before putting it on her back. Alessandra cannot fight because of that and all she can do is hiss on Chiara.

Chiara tilted her head to the right, staring at Alessandra. “For you information, I didn’t seduce your husband. I have my own, and he is way, way, better than him, ” she spoke before grinning. “Actually, it was your husband who keeps on chasing me.”

Alessandra’s eyes widened for a little bit, not until they heard a man’s voice.

“That’s not true, ” Simone interjected while going to Alessandra to help her. He looked at her wife with pleading eyes. “I would never cheat on you, baby. She just keeps on insisting that we get back together. I kept saying no because I love you. Don’t listen to her. ”

Luigi and Fara were both stunned on what the man said. He really wanted to turn the tables and make their signora the bad one.

But Chiara didn’t even panic. She just opened her phone while looking for something.

Alessandra was about to screamed at her when Chiara shut her up by showing her phone.

“I don’t want to do this, ” Chiara spoke while showing a recording. “But since you want to bring me to bad light, I have go expose the truth. Don’t blame me for whatever will happen.”

The recording started playing. The more Alessandra listened to it, the more her anger rises, the more her stomach contracts, the more her tears began to fall.

“I know that he forced you marry him. He’s a bastard. You don’t love him, right? I’m the one you love. Let’s get back together, baby.”

“I know you love me, baby. Is that Ezio blackmailing you? I can stop him. Just go back to me,” he smiled like a crazy man before puckering his lips. “Kiss me, baby. Tell me that you still love me. Let’s build our promises with each other, okay? I lo-”

“I’m here to take you back, baby. ”

Chiara stopped the recording and smirked to the two. Simone didn’t expect that Chiara has a voice recording of their conversation. It exposed his deeds, and now Alessandra knows about it.

“How dare you!” Alessandra screamed as she hit Giovanni with her hands. “Cheater! How dare you cheat on me!”

Simone wanted to defend himself and create excuses, but the voice recording that they heard is enough for Alessandra not to believe anything he will say.

While Simone was trying to stop Alessandra, they noticed a little bit of blood dripping from her thighs.

“Baby,” Simone spoke with a shaky voice. He pointed at her legs. “Blood… ”

All of them turned their eyes to Alessandra’s legs and they found her bleeding. Alessandra touched her baby bump with trembling hands.

“My baby, ” she whispered. “Help!” she looked at her husband who is still shocked on what’s happening. “Simone, save our baby.”

He hurriedly carried his wife and ran to his car to bring her to the nearest hospital. While they were running, Simone’s glaring eyes didn’t escape from Chiara’s sight.
