Bargain Bride: The Billionaire’s Forced Wife

WHEN KAZIMIR WAS LEFT alone inside his mansion, he stood up and walked towards the refrigerator. His body is looking for something to drink, as his throat suddenly went dry. He just finished his meal and drank but he can’t stop the dry feeling in his throat.

Once he opened the fridge, his eyes landed on the glass pitcher that contains the juice that Elisa gives to him everyday. He instantly felt the need to drink it, so he grabbed the pitcher before transferring some of the contents in his glass.

He instantly felt relieved. Kazimir doesn’t know why he is always looking for the juice that Elisa made. Maybe because it came from Elisa, or maybe because it just tastes so good.

He looked at the clock and found out that it’s been only twenty minutes since Elisa and Jacob left, but he can’t help but to miss her.

“Damn that bastard,” he muttered under his breath as he remembered what Ezio did.

He thought he gave him a huge blow by killing his wife. Jacob reported that Ezio wasn’t seen in his office or even leaving his house since his wife’s death, so Kazimir thought that he must still ve mourning.

Kazimir didn’t expect that he was working behind the curtains, stabbing him while he was not looking.

If not for Elisa, he would have killed that man a long time ago, or even killing him at the same day he killed his father. But he was merciful enough to spare his life, because he doesn’t want Elisa to feel sad.

Now that Elisa is staying with him, he just have to remove Ezio from his mother’s mind. That way, he can dispatch that bastard without hurting Elisa’s feelings.

“Belleza, I know that you already have feelings for me,” Kazimir spoke as he remembered the intimate and hot night that they shared.

Elisa was moaning loudly that night, which just heightened his arousal. He dreamt of that before. Elisa being with him in the same bed, doing things that is just exclusive for married couple.

His worries and doubts faded away after that night. Elisa is like a medicine for him, the one that makes him calm and berserk at the same time.

Now that they already made love, Kazimir is planning to propose to Elisa. He is a hundred percent sure that she will agree.

No one can stop them now. Masimo is death. And now, Elisa is ready to face Ezio just to protect Kazimir. That act is enough for Kazimir to know that the woman is on his side now.

While waiting for Elisa to come home, Kazimir suddenly felt the need to sleep. He felt more tired since they came back from Hong Kong, and he had been sleeping a lot.

Kazimir planned to get up and walked up to the bedroom, but he felt that he was so tired that he can’t even get up or move his legs. In the end, he decided to just sleep on the couch and wait for his “wife”.

In his dreams, Elisa was walking in the aisle while looking at him standing in the altar. She was wearing the most beautiful wedding dress that can be made, filled with diamond stones on every part of it.

At the background, he can see a lot of people he knew and those who are somehoe close to him, especially on his business. He cannot see Ezio anywhere, which is a relief for him.

Kazimir thought that his dream is a premonition of what will happen in thr future, that he will get married to Elisa and he will successfully eliminate his rival.

However, just a few steps before Elisa reached the altar, two pairs of men’s hands pulled her away from him.

“Belleza!” he shouted in his dream while reaching towards the bride. But he cannot reach her even thought he tried to run. The more he runs towards her, the more she became farther away.

Behind Elisa, two familiar men emerged as they protect the woman away from Kazimir.

“She’s mine. Elisa will never be yours,” Masimo spoke while glaring at Kazimir. His hand touching Elisa’s shoulders.

Ezio stepped in front, blocking Kazimir’s sight of Elisa. “Mamma will never love a monster like you, Kazimir. She will stay with us, and you,” he pointed Kazimir. “will go to hell.”

Suddenly, the ground started shaking. The tiled floor under his feet opened up, and Kazimir fell down on the pit of fire.

“Elisa!” he screamed while trying to grab the hem of Elisa’s gown. However, Ezio stomped on his hand, making him fall deeper in the darkness.

Kazimir’s eyes shot open as he woke up from his nightmare. He was sweating and huffing, feeling the rush of fear and nervousness in his body.

He looked at the clock and found out that it’s been three hours since Elisa left. Kazimir looked around to check, just to find out that she and his assistant haven’t arrived yet.

He sat from laying down and attempted to stand up to reach for his phone and call Elisa. However, he stopped midwat of doing it.

“What?” he asked himself with confusion while looking down. “My legs… What happened to my legs?”

He tried moving his legs again, trying to transfer it from the couch to the ground. But he still can’t move it even a centimeter.

Kazimir thought he was still in a nightmare so he looked back at the clock again, just to see it working properly. He tried pinching his skin, but nothing happened aside from him feeling hurt.

He tried to move his toenails, thinking that he was just having a sleep paralysis. But it didn’t work. Even his toenails is moving.

His whole lower body is numb. He can’t feel anything in that area even if he tried to pinch it hard. The skin became purple because of his pinches, but he still can’t feel anything.

“My legs!” he exclaimed. “Robert! Tim! Come inside!” he called for his men who must be still inside the parameters of the mansion

He waited for some moments, but no one on those people he called came. Instead, he heard a familiar female voice.

“Kaz!” Elisa called for him from the outside as she ran towards the entrance of the mansion. “Kaz! I have a good news!”

Elisa arrived in the living room and saw Kazimir sitting on the couch. She walked towards him while smiling widely. “A good news! My son agreed to pull the cade back! He won’t sue you anymore!”

She hugged Kazimir after speaking. “You don’t have to worry about anything now, Kaz,” she added.

Kazimir, although worried about his leg, smiled back to Elisa. “Thank you, belleza. I really appreciate it,” he responded before looking at Elisa’s back as if he was looking for something.

“Is there any problem?” she asked before also looking at the direction Kazimir is looking at, just to find nothing on it.

“Where’s Jacob? He went out with you right?” he asked.

Elisa’s face didn’t even changed its emotion. “Oh yeah. He told me he will work on those connections of yours ehi were facing a problem. It’s still not settled so he had to leave after dropping me off,” she lied.

Kazimir nodded before looking down at his numb leg. The emotion in his eyes didn’t escape Elisa’s eyes.

“What happened? You looked worried, Kaz,” she asked before lowering her body to look at Kazimir. “Aren’t you happy that the case will not proceed?”

The man went back to his senses after hearing her voice. “I’m happy, belleza. You’ve already done so much,” he answered.

“Then why do you look like that?” she asked once again.

Kazimir took a deep breath before answering. “Belleza, I can’t move my legs.”

“What?!” Elisa exclaimed as she stood up frim shock. “Oh my god! It could be a sign of stroke, Kaz! I need to send you to the hospital!”

Elisa ran towards their front yard, and when she came back, one of Kazimir’s guards is with her. The guard carried Kazimir towards the passenger seat of the car.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ll drive. Guard the house,” Elisa ordered before claiming the driver’s seat. “Don’t worry. We’ll get there immediately.”

She started the car. Kazimir became worried because of what Elisa said to him. He didn’t think that it was a sign of stroke.

But Elisa knew that it wasn’t really a sign of stroke. She just said that to create fear and reasoning to Kazimir.

The reason of Kazimir’s legs’ numbness is the drinks she had been giving him since she stayed with him. It has a medicine that can give a paralyzing effect.

Although she didn’t expect that it will take effect this day, she thinks she is lucky enough. His condition just made their plan work better.

While driving towards the hospital, siren from police cars echoed in the road. Elisa looked at the side mirror to check. “Police? Am I overspeeding?”

The sight of police made Kazimir nervous. He kept on looking back to check if the police cars were after them. The moment one of the cars passed them, he made a sigh of relief.

However, that same police car blocked their way. After that, two more police cars blocked their left and right side while another one stopped behind them.

“Officer? What’s happening?” Elisa asked when she opened the window.

The familiar officer answered. “I need you both to come with us.”

Elisa hurriedly grabbed Kazimir’s hand. “Officer, my husband is having stroke. Please let us go. He might die if we will delay the treatment!”

But the officer didn’t listen to her reason. He ordered his men to get Kazimir and Elisa out of the car.

“Let us go!” Kazimir shouted as two policemen pulled him out. He doesn’t have any energy in his lower body, which just made it easier for the men to carry him.

The officer showed a piece of paper to Kazimir. “You’re under arrest for killing Masimo Vitali and Chiara Vitali. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you,” he said while they were cuffung his hands.

“No!” Elisa shouted while trying to stop the police, but was blocked by the other policemen. “That case is already dismissed! My son dismissed that case!”

“But our records showed the opposite, Madame,” the officer spoke before signalling his men. “Take him to the station.”

“Kaz!” Elisa tried to run but her body was pulled back by the officers. “Let him go!”

Kazimir cannot fight back and all he can do is scream at the officers while watching Elisa cry for him. The tears on her face gave him mixed emotions: sadness because his beloved is crying, and happiness because her tears are all for him.

“Belleza! Don’t worry, I’ll solve this!” he screamed as the officers put him at the police car. “I’ll get through this!”

He didn’t even hear Elisa’s reply as the police car door already closed. He looked back to see the crying Elisa running towards the car. When she reached it, her palms hit the window while screaming something that he cannot hear.

Kazimir looked bothered but he assured her that everything will be alright. Of course, Elisa can’t hear him, so she continued on screaming and wailing as the car started.

The police car drove away from Elisa, who also started running. However, her speed it not enough to overtake the car. In the end, Elisa faded from Kazimir’s eyes.

The moment the car cannot be seen from Elisa’s perspective, she stopped crying and started laughing out loud like a crazy woman.

On her back, someone started clapping, making her look back.

“That’s a good show, signora!” Gabriel spoke while chuckling, showing his amazed expression. “Better than the shows I’ve watched!”

Elisa wiped her fake tears and boasted. “Of course. It’s my forte,” she responded. “I’m the best actress, after all.”
