Pierre's pov
I poured wine while watching her on the screen. She would talk to herself before she would scream at the surveillance camera. My lips curved. I touched my lips with the tip of the glass to hide it.
She's still funny.
"Why are you really keeping her here, huh, Pierre? Look, that woman is crazy."
I looked at Diana. Then I realized that all of them were watching me. Ivan with his silly smile, Stephen with his curious look, and Rico with his straight face.
"Are you an avid fan of that woman?" Ivan asked.
I chuckled. I didn't inform them about this. I just suddenly appeared here with the helicopter and with a rising star actress that I kidnapped. So it's no wonder that they're all curious. I bet they're thinking if I'm still in my right mind. After all, they don't know anything about my past.
"Are you serious, Ivan? She's not Pierre’s type. Maybe this is all about business matter?" Diana with her conclusion.
"Business matter? Are you saying that Pierre has a kidnap and ransom business? You crazy woman."
"Guys, stop it. Let's just listen to Pierre’s reason. I bet he has a good reason about this." Stephen said. Rico nodded along with him. Then they all eyed me again.
Four years ago, I was still nothing. All the more when my supposed wife left me in mid air to jump with another man. My parents turned their backs on me in disappointment. It was just the only thing that they were expecting from me. With our business almost falling, their last resort was to find someone who could help us save our company. With that, they wanted me to marry the daughter of one of the most influential business tycoons, George Balthazar. Who has only one spoiled daughter, and that is Eris Balthazar, now known as Penelope Gomez.
But the plan didn't turn out well, just as I expected. Our company reached its downfall. My parents got mad at me and sent me abroad to study. That's when I studied really hard—more than I had before—to prove to them that they don't need others to succeed. They just need to trust their own son.
So when I came back, I became a prominent figure with amassed and substantial power in the business world. I easily brought down some empires and stood out from the rest.
But there are no days that I forget how she betrayed me. How she easily left me to be with another man instead. So there's no way that I will let her be happy.
Now that I have everything, it’s my turn to see her fall. I want her to feel what I’ve felt before. I want her to feel how it feels to be betrayed.
"So it's true that she's your ex-fiancé? But why didn't we know about this?" Stephen asked when I only told him that I was supposed to marry her before.
"Maybe it's the time when our fraternity still hasn't been built."
"Yeah." I shortly replied.
I glanced at the screen when I saw her sleeping. I told the maid to bring her dinner, but she slept. She's probably tired from screaming all day. She hasn't yet eaten anything, maybe she will later? Or should I wake her up?
Penelope's pov
My eyes automatically opened when I felt something stroking my legs and exposed arms. My mouth parted when I saw Pierre.
My heart pounded.
"W-what the hell? W-what are you doing?!" I exclaimed when he went up to the bed. The small space becomes smaller because of his damn tall and massive body.
His jaw tightened. "Tell me, did you regret that you left me before for another man?" He said while I was still in shock. He was above me, locking me in between. So who wouldn't be shocked to wake up to that kind of sight?
And mind you, he was hovering over me with his half-naked body and boxers?! I couldn't believe him! How can he enter the woman’s room with just that little thing?! Is he tempting me?!
"W-what are you doing…move…"
I couldn't breathe properly when I traced his chest with my eyes down to the bulge that was poking in his between. The room was dim, but I don't know why my eyes could still see it clearly.
But when did he become like this? How the hell did he become like this? What did he do in the last four years to be this hot? Because I could still remember his face and body before. It's no comparison to him now!
I shook my head to erase my dirty thoughts.
I lifted my eyes on his face this time, but I was drowned by it. I always said before that he is ugly. I don't like his eyebrows since they're too thick, but now I can say that I was wrong. His deep eyes were highlighted by his eyebrows and long eyelashes, which made him look strong and dark in a sexy way.
His nose is still towering and intimidating. While his lips are inviting. I didn't know that he has sexy and curvy red lips?
I have met many men with long hair, but I never felt attracted to them. But with him, it's different. He looks majestic and sexy with it. When did he start to use shampoo?
I lifted my hands to feel his jaw when it clenched. But he caught my hand, which made me flinch.
"Are you regretting now that you left me?" He asked with a dangerous tone.
"Huh?" I blurted out.
He smirked without humor before his eyes moved down to my lips. I cleared the lump on my throat when I remember how he kissed me forcefully.
"You listen to me." He folded his arm to leaned more. I gasped when our lips almost touched. Damn it!
"You can't go back anymore. From now on, you are not the same star that is admiring by everyone. You are now nothing but my captive in this island. That's what you get from betraying me." He whispered to my ears that made me stunned in disbelief.
He pushed himself away from me. Fear etched in my face When he suddenly lifted a knife that God knows where he got.
"W-what are you doing?!"
I closed my eyes tightly when he raised it towards me. But I felt no pain. I opened my eyes again and saw him cutting the rope that was in my wrist and feet. He stood up after that and looked down on me without any emotion.
"Clean yourself and eat." he said before he left the room.
