Billionaires Series ON HOLD

He led me away, my hand still in his, the bouncers nodded and let us pass without even having to wait. Who was this guy?

We walked through in the dim lit corridors up to the VIP section, the bouncer nodded allowing us pass, this guy must know some really rich people. I’ve never been in the VIP before we walked in the atmosphere up here was totally different than down there were no sweaty bodies jut high large scary guys with tattoos and girls hanging on their shoulders. A few greeted Luca and he introduced me and we got drinks. I felt so out of place up here. He didn’t though and I don’t think he noticed how insecure I was as he spoke in fluent Italian to the males in the room. After many drinks I felt relaxed and a little drunk.

“Let’s dance Cara.”

I nodded

He took my hand and pulled me to my feet. I felt like jelly but ignored it. I lost count after five or was it six.

He held me close to him dancing his breath tickling my neck. “I want you cara. The ring means nothing to me, all I ask from you is to be honest and I’ll do anything in my power to break you free and make you mine.” He said, plating soft kisses on my neck, sending shivers through my body and goosebumps too. Who was this man? I guess I would find out soon enough.

I'd taken a law and business degree at university to make sure I knew everything before I took him on suck s**t Mr. Elijah Rivera this is the end of our contract. It will be terminated once you agree to our divorce. I have been saving my money from my part time job but I needed more to pay him back for digging me out of the hole I would've been in if he hadn't helped me out but it came with a price one I wasn't willing to pay anymore. I'd made some great friends at university one had Luca Romero. He had an Italian background and I had been working in his parents' restaurant since I had begun classes. We'd bumped into one another the first day I began Uni and we'd been friends ever since. He'd told me to follow my dreams and I was going to do that once Uni was over. He'd also told me my happiness mattered and if I was unhappy to put behind all the unhappiness in my life and begin again and that's when I realised I'd never been truly happy since I'd signed that ridiculous contract and become Elijah Riviera's wife. It was time for change so when these four years were up I was going to divorce his sorry ass and move on and finally be happy.

Luca had stood out the most, everyone seemed to be scared of him, but why? Would he be an ally or a deceiver like all of the others. Everyone here seems to know of Elijah Rivera and wouldn't do anything against that arrogant asshole. They all seem to look up to him for some unknown reason. I'd been warned to stay away from Luca but why was beyond me, he was the first to introduce himself and be polite to me, even take me under his wing, he was a pure gentleman, unlike Elijah. But the things he said were a little worrying. I'm not sure if he noticed I had heard him or not. He was a dark horsey hat everyone in Uni seems to be scared of. but me. He was a sweetheart that I'm sure was after more than just being friends but right now I wasn't interested in all of that Ijust wanted to continue with my studies and have friends I could at least rely on. I'm not sure I could rely on any here, but Luca he seemed different, unaffected but Elijah but I just couldn't figure out why. Me and Luca were really close. I'd agreed to see him whilst I was at the same Camus as him, what Elijah didn't know wouldn't hurt him right?
