Wrongfully Yours

CHAPTER 13

"This meal is amazing; I have never tasted better Alfredo pasta. Mario is the real deal. I see why you’ve retained him for years, Bruce. You never used to keep your chefs for more than two years but since Mario came into this house, you have refused to let him go.

Jackson’s boss was talking with his mouthful; even though he was a billionaire, he lacked table etiquette, which disgusted Snow but she smiled to hide her irritation.

“Mario is not just my chef, Mr. Ben; Mario is family now. He has been with me for decades and he travels everywhere with me. I don't think I can ever let him go.

Jackson decided to ask Bruce a question and his question made Snow’s heart skip a beat; she almost couldn't swallow the food she had in her mouth.

“How has marriage been for you, Mr. Bruce? You’ve been unmarried for decades; how are you enjoying your marriage with Snow?

Bruce smiled at Jackson as he sipped out of his glass of white wine.

“I love my wife so much and she brings me joy and happiness. These past few months have brought joy and happiness into my life. She is submissive and obedient and we will start making babies soon. Bruce placed his hand on Snow's palms, and he rubbed them slowly as he talked.

“Babies!! Isn't that too soon? Is that a mutual agreement or is that what you want?

Mr. Ben wasn't happy about Jackson’s comment; he had to speak up and caution Jackson.

“Jackson, that is a very rude and insensitive question to ask.

Mr Bruce isn't blowing as hot as Snow expected him to; rather, he smiled at Jackson and answered his question.

“You do not have to scold him, Mr. Ben; I like young folks who are inquisitive. It was a mutual agreement, Jackson, and if you must know, it was her idea. I only supported and endorsed it. Isn't that right, darling?

“Yes, it was my idea.

Snow had to support Bruce even though she wasn’t aware of the “baby-making” conversation; she just sipped her wine. She was about to leave the table, but Bruce called her back.

“Why are you leaving? Are you done with your food?

"No, I'm not; I want to use the restroom; I'll be back in a jiffy.

"Alright, darling, hurry up; I have an announcement to make.

Bruce kissed Snow on her arm, and she walked towards Marose.

“Marose, can you come to help me with my zip upstairs, please?

“Right away, Ma.

They both walked upstairs into the room. Snow locked the door behind them, held Marose’s hand and took her to the closet.

“Snow, why are you acting strangely? Is something wrong?

“Nothing is wrong. Marose, I want you to do something for me.

“Alright, what is it? But I hope it has nothing to do with the stranger you were discussing downstairs.

“What! You saw us! Was it really obvious?

“It wasn't obvious but I'm sure Bruce will ask you about it after the dinner, so you better have something to tell him.

“I will think of something, but I want you to help me collect something from him.

“From who? Bruce?

“No, from Jackson, the guy I was talking to.

“What is it you want me to collect?

“It is a car key.

“A car key? He bought you a car.

"No, he didn't. It is my car key—the car I owned before coming into the mansion. I asked Jackson to help me collect it from my father.

“Alright, but what do you want to use it for? You have so many luxurious cars here; why do you need your old car?

“I want to give it to someone since I will not use it again.

“Alright, I will do that.

“Thank you, Marose, but please, I do not want Bruce to see it or hear about it.

“I’ll be discreet.

Snow dismissed Marose and took out a pen and she wrote out the address and the code and hid them in the pocket of her joggers. She applied a little makeup to her eyes to cover her red-eye area. She headed back to the dining table; they were having dessert by the time she arrived.

“Welcome back, my darling; I thought you were going to miss the dessert.

I want to make an announcement. Mr. Ben’s company handled the last contract I gave them well. Special thanks to Jackson, who handled the contract. I am excited to announce my partnership with Mr. Ben’s company. We are both handling a construction project in Helsinki worth $5 billion. The contract was awarded to us today.

Everyone in the room applauded in excitement. Snow put up a fake smile and Bruce made a toast. The event was soon over and everyone was out. Snow didn't have the opportunity to talk to Jackson because Bruce held her hand throughout. Everyone soon left. Snow hoped Marose collected the car keys from Jackson. They both retired to the room and she went to the bathroom to shower and wash away her makeup. She was in the shower having a hot bath and the thought of Luca crossed her mind.

Will she be able to see him again if she finally escapes? How was she going to contact him without Bruce tracing her? That should be the end of whatever they shared or had. She was finally going to escape Bruce and his wickedness. Jackson’s plan was perfect and Snow wondered why Bruce was being soft on Jackson. Does he know about our plan? Snow’s thoughts were clouded with the thought of freedom; she was excited and happy at the same time.

She got out of the shower and went into the bedroom. She stood close to the mirror and was cleaning her face with her facial cleanser. Bruce undressed and took a shower. He changed into his nightwear and put On his cologne, he walked towards Snow, held her from behind and kissed her on the neck.

“You did well today; you looked gorgeous as usual.

“Thank you, Bruce.

“What were you discussing with Jackson?

Snow’s heart started racing fast. She stopped rubbing her face with the cotton wool soaked in her cleanser.

“He was telling me about your partnership with their company; you never tell me anything about your business.

“Well, you don't need to know anything about my business; all you have to do is spend the money I make and look beautiful for me. I want you to go shopping tomorrow. Marose will discard the outfit you’ve worn and she will clear your wardrobe.

“I don't need new clothes; besides, I've never worn any outfit twice because I have more than enough.

“Well, you can shop for jewellery then, and I'll send you some money tomorrow.

“I do not need more money; I have enough already. You never allow me to spend the money you put in my account; you keep giving me more.

“How much is in your account?

“250 million.

“Piece of cake, I will send you extra money; you can go anywhere you want with Marose tomorrow.

“Thank you.

“Come give me a taste of this body; I've been staring at them all night.

Bruce continued to kiss Snow’s neck. He was rubbing her breast and he took her to the bed and started having s*x with her. She didn't move her body; she was still and she allowed him to have his way with her. She knew that was going to be their last night together. He was gentle; he wasn't rough as usual. While he was moaning in pleasure, she was busy thinking about Jackson’s escape plan.
