Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“The United States has already published the news, but Boris remained hidden. A Country has also shared the message and Boris did not appear either. If he doesn’t emerge despite all our efforts, there is a high chance that he is either dead or he will never appear again,” Bellamy reported solemnly.

“I must find him. You have conducted research on the virus and antidote in secret, haven’t you?” Stella asked, choking back on her tears.

Bellamy could tell that something was amiss. He turned to look at her.

Stella’s eyes turned redder, but her gaze remained determined. It was evident that she had been crying.

“Yes I have, but what’s wrong? Jasper, is he…” Bellamy refused to think about it.

“I promised him that I would not give up and fall into despair even if he died. However, I want to do the best I can,” Stella forced a smile and responded.

Tears streamed down her face.

“What’s wrong with Jasper?” Bellamy asked with a grave tone.

“He wishes to keep it a secret from us. We should pretend that we have no idea about it,” Stella replied.

Upon saying that, she couldn’t control her emotions anymore and burst into tears.

Bellamy felt sorry for her and handed her a piece of tissue.

Stella accepted the tissue. It made her recall the image of Jasper wiping his blood away in the video. Her heart ached.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

When he worked in the base, he never relied on others, nor did he want anyone to help him. He didn’t want to be a burden to others.

He did everything on his own and even helped her to take care of Sandro. He acted as though he was a healthy person.

She perceived that he had concealed something, but she didn’t know that his health was deteriorating. It was no wonder he often secluded himself.

She didn’t want to burden him any further. She thought she was letting him do what he wants, but…

She had no idea how seriously unwell he was.

“What do you plan to do now?” Bellany asked.

“It’s not a must to find Boris. Back then, Boris was saved because he knew the location of the biological weapons. In other words, to find the secret scientific research organization, we need those who are aware of the biological weapons. I only need to announce to the public that I have found the biological weapons and they will fall into the trap,” Stella said rationally.

“You are risking your life with this plan. There are too many parties who wish to obtain the biological weapons,” Bellamy replied anxiously.

“I’m not frightened of danger or death. I’m just afraid that I will lose him. If I die in front of him…” Stella could not finish the sentence.

She feared that Jasper would grieve over her death and blame himself. She couldn’t bear to let him live on with a heavy heart, so she changed her mind and said, “I won’t die. They only want the biochemical weapons. If I die, they will get nothing. Are you willing to help me?”

“What happens after they get their hands on the biological weapon? Will you be able to make it out of there alive?” Bellamy asked, still perturbed by her decision.

“If Boris could escape unscathed, so can I. Bellamy, this is my wish and it’s the only feasible plan that I could devise. Will you help me?” Stella pleaded.

Bellamy remained silent and stared into her tearful eyes. She might seem gentle but immense strength dwelled within her.

His heart ached slightly. However, he knew that he must help her. Otherwise, Jasper would definitely die.

He would not allow Jasper to die.

“Alright, I’ll help you. I’ve already studied the antidote and viruses in secret. I can provide you with what I have beforehand so that we need not fear that they will cause any havoc to the world once they’ve obtained the biological weapons,” Bellamy said in a deep voice.

“Thank you and I’m sorry,” Stella cried.

“You don’t owe me and neither do you need to thank me. The biological weapon was originally yours.”

Stella got what he meant. Yet, if something were to happen to her and if Sean decided to turn against them, things would get out of hand. She feared for Bellamy’s safety.

She had ineffable feelings toward him. It was a little less than love, yet a little more than friendship. It was an entirely different feeling as described by others who experienced the same scenario. “Bellamy…”

She called out his name. There was a lot she wanted to tell him but she couldn’t seem to put them into words.

Bellamy chuckled. “Stella, I don’t love you anymore. I believed that I used to love you because you were too perfect. Your appearance, character and how you treat others matches every aspect that I have ever imagined. Hence, I fell for you. It’s also possible that Jasper being at death’s door, played a factor. I was afraid that you would fall apart, thus I took on his identity and loved you in his place. Now that Jasper has returned, it’s time I relinquish the role.”

Stella nodded and said, “Thank you, Bellamy.”

“You said a lot of thank-yous and sorries today. It’s unnecessary. Even though there’s no attachment between us, Jasper and I are still brothers. I wished the best for him as much as you do. I’ll give you the virus and antidote later. Please keep them safe. Remember that I’ll always support you,” Bellamy responded solemnly.

The game had yet to begin. Yet, he could already foresee the inevitable dangers ahead.

He must protect them.

The car pulled away and started moving forward.

Stella continued to monitor Jasper’s condition.

He was lying on the bed, applying an ice cube to his forehead.

His skin turned numb within three minutes upon application. However, Jasper wanted to look healthy when Stella returned. Hence, he continued to apply the ice cube.

The scene made her heart ached further. She could not bear to look at it, but she feared that she would regret it in the future as their time together might come to an end.

She had never felt so languish with each passing moment. She was anxious and eager to return to his side and take care of him.

It wasn’t easy for her to proceed with the plan and visit Sean.

Sean was locked up in the third level below ground level. The building was packed with soldiers and security measures had been designed. There was also a room filled with poisonous gas inside. If someone came to his rescue, he would be the first to die.

Bellamy guarded Sean well. He kept him under close watch. She knew that her request to release Sean had put Bellamy in a dilemma, but to her surprise, Bellamy consented.

The thought filled her with guilt. Perhaps she had made the wrong decision, but she wished to proceed with it.

The soldier unlocked the door to Sean’s room.

Sean had his back towards them. He was sitting in front of the desk and reading a book. It was unmistakable that he had an elegant demeanor.

The life of imprisonment did not leave a mark on him. On the contrary, he seemed more calm and composed.

Stella could not help but recall a story about a king of a particular kingdom.

He was a mighty king and ruled his kingdom well. Besides, he was stalwart and talented. After his kingdom was defeated by a neighboring country, he wrote an awe-inspiring novel during his imprisonment.

The novel revolved around the past and the present.

He wrote about the once rich and prosperous kingdom, full of joy and laughter.

The wonderfully paved streets and colonial buildings remained.

However, only sorrow and anguish were left.

“Sean,” Stella shouted.

Sean froze. He turned around and looked at Stella in astonishment. “Haven’t seen you in ages,” He said with a smile.

Stella examined him as she approached him.

He was neither thin nor plump, nothing much changed. He still seemed to be fearless and in high spirits. He was the person she knew.

“How long have you been here?” Stella inquired.

Sean glanced at the calendar on the wall. “I have been here for around seven months and three days. Let me guess. There’s no way you would accept Bellamy’s love, which means you are alive because Jasper is also alive.”

Stella smiled. “In terms of strategy and logical thinking, you could be considered invincible. Perhaps, the only person you failed to predict is Eli.”
