Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Bellamy blew her hair gently with the hairdryer. He said to her, “I will find a scientific team to study the antidote secretly in case of an emergency. After all, there is no profit from it. Besides, it is a long-term project. Apart from Milton Corp, I am afraid that there is no one else are capable enough to take on this task and yet do not have ulterior motives.”

“Are you saying that we should be responsible for this?” Stella asked as she looked at Bellamy.

“We will do this in secret; we won’t let anyone know about it. Who knows, perhaps a biological hazard crisis might arise in the future,” Bellamy said sincerely.

Stella wanted to live without pressure. It was her dream to live freely with no responsibilities.

However, in this world, it is not easy for one to only do whatever they want.

Nevertheless, she supposed that it would be alright to take up the mission to develop the antidote. After all, there should be no fight for their deaths or conflict for that.

Therefore, she agreed. “It’s up to you.”

She took the hairdryer from Bellamy’s hand, switched it off, and put it on the table. “It’s getting late, you need more time to prepare. Nothing is more important than staying alive. You are bearing the burden of your life, mine, and our child. Three lives.”

Bellamy suddenly took her hand, put it on his lips, and kissed it deeply. “Wait for my return.”

“Okay,” Stella said gently.

“The listening devices are in the next room. I will be able to hear you as long as you talk to me through the microphone,” Bellamy reminded her.

Stella nodded. “Please be careful.”

Bellamy let go of her and turned to leave.

Stella walked to the next room to discover that it was a room filled with high-tech equipment. Apart from her, there was a man and a woman who were busying themselves in there. Their names were Winnie and Oscar.

She could see what was going on inside the car from the video on a screen and she could also see Bellamy.

Dressed in a strange black-and-white checkered suit, Bellamy closed his eyes as he rested.

“Did you also install cameras on his back?” Stella asked.

“Yes, Mrs. Milton. It is on a decorative button behind his suit. This is to prevent him from being assaulted from behind,” Oscar explained.

Stella nodded. It was always better to be safe than sorry.

She pulled out a chair and sat in front of the screen. She fixed her gaze on Bellamy.

Bellamy seemed to have noticed that Stella looking at him. He opened his eyes, stared at the pinhole camera in front of him, and asked, “Are you looking at me?”

Stella smiled and said to the microphone, “Go to sleep first.”

Bellamy suddenly smiled, “It feels weird to be stared at while I sleep.”

Stella smiled and said, “How long will it take for you to reach the office of the Secretary of External Affairs?”

“About an hour or so.”

Stella looked at the time on the screen. It was almost 4 p. m. He would arrive an hour earlier than scheduled. She hoped that nothing would go wrong.

“You should sleep. I won’t stare at you.”

“Okay,” Bellamy replied and shut his eyes.

Stella stood up and told Winnie, “Call me once he reaches the Secretary of External Affairs.”

“Alright, Mrs. Milton,” Winnie said courteously.

Stella returned to her room and lay on the bed. She closed her eyes and rested for a while.

Her phone suddenly rang, waking her up.

She did not want to answer the call seeing that it was from an unfamiliar number. Instead, she declined the call. Looking at the time, she realized that Bellamy should be getting close to the office of B Country’s Secretary of External Affairs, Habib Othman, so she went to the next room.

“Mr. Chuck, the soldiers patrolling on the right side will reach you in ten seconds,” Winnie said.

Stella stood behind the chair as she stared at the screen seriously. She saw Bellamy dodging the soldiers swiftly.

She was so nervous that she gripped the chair. “He would be exposed if the other side has installed surveillance cameras.”

“Mrs. Milton, we have hacked their system, what they see is the feed from an hour ago,” Oscar explained.

“Be careful!” Stella called out in panic.

Bellamy was caught in the middle. Seeing that he was about to be discovered, Stella was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Bellamy heard Stella’s voice, but Winnie had no time to report the situation.

Alerted, he put on his hat, then jumped and stuck himself to the wall.

Only then did Stella notice that the tiles on the ceiling were black and white, and Bellamy blended right into it.

“Mr. Chuck has suction cups on his palms and the back of his shoes. As long as you don’t look at his position directly, you won’t be able to see them easily,” Oscar explained.

Stella was not interested in how Bellamy was sticking to the ceiling. All she cared about was whether he would be discovered.

When the soldiers crossed paths, none of them discovered Bellamy.

Stella let out a sigh of relief.

Bellamy came down from the ceiling. While he ran, he took off his clothes and turned them inside-out. It looked like a giant sunflower.

He quickly ran up the stairs.

The wallpaper was pictures of sunflowers.

“You’ve done a good job,” Stella looked at the screen and said.

“We have lurked in B Country for ten years. We know everything about every government figure and even their families. We know a lot about them,” Oscar said proudly.

Stella looked at him. Suddenly, she felt a sense of admiration towards Oscar. He was the embodiment of what a real soldier should be, a man of the most outstanding qualities and skills.

While their job seemed simple, they would inevitably face death if they were to be discovered.

“Our country is proud of you.”

Oscar smiled, “I’ve sworn to protect the country and to never hurt others on purpose. However, we will definitely protect the power of our country. We would do anything, even sacrifice ourselves, to accomplish our duties.”

“Good luck,” Stella said. Those were the only words she could give him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After successfully passing through the stairway, Bellamy took off his outer clothing at the designated floor and stuck it on the roof of the corridor. With just a black suit, he went upstairs again and pushed open the door of the Secretary of External Affairs’ room.

The receptionist looked at Bellamy and her eyes widened. However, before she could make a sound, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and she fainted.

Bellamy pushed the door open.

Habib Othman, the Secretary of External Affairs, was sending an email. When he saw an intruder, he moved immediately to press the alarm.

“I advise you to calm down and talk to me. After all, it only takes a single bullet to kill you, but it will take your men five seconds to come. They won’t be able to save you,” Bellamy said confidently and sat down on the sofa.

Habib looked at Bellamy warily. He decided not to act rashly. He asked, “Who are you and what do you want?”

“I am the Secretary of External Affairs from A Country, Bellamy Chuck,” Bellamy mused. He shot him a smile.

Habib frowned, “Weren’t you killed on the plane?”

“Jasper, ask him how he knows that you were killed on the plane?” Stella said.

“How did you know that I died on the plane? Who told you that?” Bellamy asked.

“How could I not know when such a serious accident happened to someone from your country? After all, I was the one who invited you to negotiate with me,” Habib said as he looked directly into Bellamy’s eyes.
