Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella waited for Frederick to hang up the phone, and then she continued asking, “Are the windows soundproof?”

Frederick shook his head and replied, “This is an old house. They are just ordinary windows.”

“Your mother’s tongue was cut off. This is the first thing that the murderer did so that she could not make any sounds. Her lips were then sealed after that.

Certain scars would only start to appear after a day. I think bruises will start to show on her face and shoulder after a while.

However, even though her mouth was sealed, she should have been able to make other noises before that. You should ask around if anyone has heard or seen anything.”

“I will hand this matter over to the police, Benjamin too will be involved in the investigation. You could drop by and listen to the reports he makes every day,” Frederick said sadly.

Perhaps it was because he was grieving over his mother’s death.

Frederick seemed much more mild-tempered than he used to be. He was more restrained now.

The circumstances surrounding a person could indeed shape their thoughts and state of mind.

“Plus, it’s obvious that she was in a hurry as her words were quite a mess. Even the container that she used for the note was just an essential oil bottle from the dressing table.

The essential oil was not poured out in time, which meant your mother was in a hurry.

She was afraid that the note would fall onto the enemy’s hands, and that was why she wrote it so obscurely.

However, your mother did not mention a thing about the killer, which meant that she too had no idea who the murderer was.

I believe that your mother was killed due to leaked information. Someone must have known that your mother had the evidence, and that was why she was killed.

She might have told you or Asher about the original place where the item was being kept. If she had told you about it before, then you should think about it thoroughly.

Moreover, your mother was tortured to death.

The murderer even gouged out her eyes. Maybe she saw something which she should not have. It might have something to do with someone else’s secrets.

Maybe her mouth was sealed due to her being too loudmouthed.

Her clothes were removed and her private parts were nailed. Perhaps the murderer was once humiliated by those parts.

“Could it be Asher’s wife?” Frederick guessed.

“Not necessarily. However, there is a possibility too. The nails that were hammered on her private parts were red in color and they were different from the other ones. Let’s wait for the results, then we’ll know if those nails belong to the same batch.”

“The abuser is either a psychopath or has an insane amount of hate for your mother. You should look for the housekeeper. She might know something,” Stella’s eyes were so tired that she could hardly open them.

Stella regretted not taking a proper sleep last night.

It felt as though she had not slept for two days.

“You should rest for a bit. I’ll send you home,” Frederick said.

Stella leaned on the chair, “It’s okay, my men will send me home.”

“I’m not sending you home, I’m sending you to my place. I’ll talk to Christian about this. After all, you want your men to be freed, right?”

Stella looked at Frederick, frowning, and said worriedly, “You promised not to touch me. You said that you would let me go after a month.”

“When I tried to keep you by my side before, you ended up getting further away from me. You’ll never forgive me if I were to lay my hands on you. We might not even have the chance to talk like this anymore. Rest assured, I’ll never touch you without your permission. Go and take some rest. You look exhausted.”

Stella felt weak and dizzy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep straight away.

Frederick then ordered his men to start driving.

Suddenly, Stella’s soldier stopped in front of his men.

His men were about to fight against the soldier.

Frederick had no intention to stop the fight either.

The number of his men were far more than Stella’s as she only brought one soldier with her. Her soldier was defeated eventually.

Frederick rolled down the window and spoke to the soldier, “Your Madam agreed to come with me. Ask Anthony to give her a call if you don’t believe it.”

Frederick then ordered his men to let the soldier go.

He got out of the car, picked up Stella, and proceeded to put her in his housekeeper’s car.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

His men then drove the car away.

He laid next to Stella and he stared at her sleeping face.

He liked beautiful women, but he too had standards. The Stella before did not match his standards at all. Plus, he had never thought of liking her.

Little did he know, his heart would eventually be stolen by her.

He liked how she was smart and understanding, never clingy.

She was strong, independent, confident, and she loved herself. It was rare to find someone like her in today’s superficial society.

She had no desire for power and she had no interest in playing with the feelings of others. She treated people with sincerity. Her pure heart was the reason for her kindness.

He fell for her soul and personality.

Now, she had changed, even her appearance was like the woman of his dreams. Sadly, he was not the one she loved anymore.

The evils we brought on ourselves were the hardest to bear.

He got tired of playing.

The only thing he wanted to do now was to settle down with her. What he wanted now was to lead a peaceful and happy life with her.

Stella woke up and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Frederick standing in front of her window.

The sky was already dark. Next to her bed was an illuminated lamp.

“What time is it?” Stella asked.

“7 p. m., are you hungry? I have ordered them to prepare some of the food that you like. I’ll ask them to heat them up,” Frederick said in a gentle voice. He then got up and walked out the door.

Stella still felt a little dizzy. She sat up, picked up her bag on the table, and took out her mobile phone.

Her phone was muted and there were many missed calls.

She proceeded to call Anthony Levis.

“Madam, why are you at Frederick’s place? What happened? Why didn’t you answer the phone? If you still had not answered in the next 24 hours, we were planning to rush into his house,” Anthony said anxiously.

“I’m sorry. I’ve just woken up. Here’s the thing, Frederick promised not to touch me if I followed him home. He’ll let go of me after a month. He promised to let go of our men if I do so,” Stella explained.

“What is going on? How will that free our men? They are now locked in prison, and all the evidence is unfavorable,” Anthony said nervously.

“I’ll ask him,” Stella got off the bed with her mobile phone and opened the door. She happened to meet Frederick, who was coming over.

“Anthony told me that our men are being locked up in prison. What is going on?” Stella asked with concern.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ve already told your men to pretend that they were robbers. We will let them go afterward,” Frederick said, and then he made a call.

Stella picked up the phone and said, “You heard it. They will free our men soon.”

“What about you? Are you sure you’re alright? The Chief will definitely get anxious if he knows about this.”

Stella thought of Bellamy Chuck.

She even promised Bellamy that she would help him out tonight. It seemed that it won’t be happening.

“I’ll explain it to him next time. By the way, Nina wrote a note before she died. The note mentioned that the thing we are looking for is kept in its original place. If I’m not mistaken, she was referring to the location of the evidence. We should try our best to find it. This should allow us to at least have a bit more of an advantage in taking the enemy down,” Stella returned to the topic.
