Bargain Bride: The Billionaire’s Forced Wife

KAZIMIR SEATED inside the interrogation room, with Chief Bruno opening some files in front of him. He is annoyed, not because he was inside a prison but because these police officers pulled him away from Elisa. If they didn’t come, he would have been spending the rest of his night with her.

His numb lower body also added to his annoyance. At first, he was worried that it might be stroke. But after spending almost an hour with that problem, nothing bad happened to him.

“These are the evidences that you orchestrated Masimo Vitali’s murder,” Chief Bruno spoke while pointing at the papers and photos. All of it contains the witnesses’ sworn testimonies and those words from the accessories to the crime.

Kazimir just looked boredly at the papers. “I didn’t do such a thing,” he answered with a calm voice, which one could think that he is not lying.

“Really?” Chief Bruno raised his eyebrow subtly. “But the evidences says otherwise.”

The criminal didn’t back down even after presenting strong evidences for his crime. He just shrugged his shoulders and explained, “I know what I said. I don’t know why there documents and statements like this, but I didn’t do it.”

The chief put the evidences aside and another officer put it back to the envelopes. He steepled his hands with his elbows resting on the table, before leaning towards the cuffed criminal.

“Those evidences are strong enough to put you in prison,” he spoke. “Aside from killing Mr. Masimo Vitali, you were also the mastermind behind the car incident that led to Mrs. Chiara Vitali’s death.”

Kazimir shook his head firmly, still hiding the truth from the police officer that’s interrogating him. “I didn’t do it, officer. I only know Masimo Vitali, but I don’t know anyone who is named Chiara Vitali.”

Chief Bruno almost sighed as he can already foresee that they cannot make this criminal admit his crimes. Just from the lookes of it, Kazimir’s calm exterior and well calculated answers is enough to say that he is used in doing such thing. He is expert in telling lies.

“Those men who purposely hit Mrs. Vitali’s car confessed that it was you who ordered them to do the crime,” the chief responded. “They signed sworned testimonies and all of them are already detained. They all pointed you, Mr. Colombo.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Kazimir was shocked, but his expression didn’t change a bit. He spent a lot of money paying those men not just to finish Chiara off but to also keep their mouths shut.

He was impressed that Ezio made his men talk. May it be giving them more money or blackmailing them like he always does, it still worked.

“That kid,” Kazimir spoke in his thoughts while stopping the urge of gritting his teeth because of anger. “He fooled his own mother, giving her false promises. What can of son is he? He is only thinking about himself.”

He loathed Ezio. Kazimir didn’t really think that he will dismiss the case, but hearing those words came from Elisa’s lips made him think that Ezio listened to his mother.

But they were wrong, and Elisa was fooled. Kazimir landed right on Ezio’s trap.

Unfortunately for Ezio, Kazimir knew how to destroy a trap and make it a death pit for his rival.

“I don’t why this is happening, officer,” Kazimir replied. “But I’m telling you that I’m innocent. I will have my lawyer defend me in this case.”

Chief Bruno decided that will wrap up their interrogation. They have to go on with the case and fight in the court. He is not worried about the evidences because they have the strong ones. What worried him is that Kazimir might have something up on his sleeves that will turn the situation upside down.

“Then we’ll let you talk to your lawyer. However, you will be detained for the time being,” Chief Bruno answered before signaling his men to escort Kazimir towards his detention cell.

But before the officers could go towards Kazimir, he raised his right hand. “Officer, my lower body felt numb and I can’t move it. May I please request to be sent to a hospital?” he asked politely, hiding his true intentions behind his calm expression.

The chief was silent for a moment. He was skeptical on letting Kazimir go to other place aside from the prison. However, he can’t make him deprive of his rights. Detaining him despite his condition will put him in a bad light, or worst, he might get suspended.

“Okay,” he replied. “I will have my men to escort and guard you.”

After that, Chief Bruni talked to his right-hand man and gave him orders and reminders on what to do while Kazimir is under their control. They know what he is capable of, but they don’t know what more he can do.

After a few minutes, Kazimir and the police officers left the station. They let Kazimir call his lawyer, which is Jacob. However, the assistant didn’t answer his phone.

He repeated it several time just to be greeted by the system recording. Annoyed, Kazimir call another trusted men, which answered it after a few seconds.

“Abel,” he spoke on the line and the man immediately recognized his voice. “You’ll be my lawyer,” he added before telling him the hospital where they will go. “Meet me, ASAP.”

It didn’t take long for them to arrive in the hospital. After a few screenings, the doctor seemed not to find anything wrong with his body. He made physical checks but there’s no problem with it.

“I suggest to do a laboratory exam for this, signor,” the doctor spoke after checking his lower body. “There’s nothing wrong with you. Atleast physically. You might have taken something that can numb your body.”

Outside Kazimir’s ward were three police officers guarding him incase he tried to escape. On the exits and entrance of the hospital, more guards were dispatched to make sure that he can’t go away.

“Signor,” his trusted man, Abel, arrived while the doctor was administering a drug to make Kazimir’s situation better.

Kazimir just nodded and signalled him to get closer. When the doctor left, Kazimir talked with a low voice. “Get me out of here. You know what to do,” he ordered.

“Yes, signor,” Abel answered with obedience and respect. “Shall I ready your plane?”

Kazimir nodded. “Yes,” he answered. “And give me something that I can use to call my wife. I’ll take her with me.”

That day, Kazimir’s escape plan is moving. He texted Elisa of his plan, but before he could get her response, his body felt sleepy and succumb to the darkness.

It was already morning when he woke up, and it was because of Abel. The man reported that he already settle everything and that he was able to distract the police officers guarding Kazimir. Hence, why the fire alarm of the building suddenly went on.

Kazimir found himself being able to move his lower body. The two men walked outside the ward with urgency, just to see one police officer waiting for them.

“We have to leave n-”

The officer didn’t even finish his words when Abel shot him straight in the neck. His blood splattered on the white walls, after the silent shot.

Kazimir and Abel silently walked away from the bloody scene. On the parking lot, a car was already waiting for Kazimir.

“Just go straight to you plane, signor. Everything is already settled,” Abel reminded him before separating ways.

On the way to the airport, Kazimir texted Elisa to wait for him on the nearest gas station from his mansion. He stepped harder on the gas pedal and flew his car on the road, ignoring the speed limit and the road signs.

“Belleza!” Kazimir shouted as he saw Elisa waiting for him at their decided place.

Elisa was wearing an all black winter outfit, with a mask that covered the lower half of her face. She has one suitcase and one backpack with her.

“Kaz,” she said after settling on the passenger seat. “Where are we going now? Why are the police after you?”

“We will go back to Poland, belleza,” he answered while driving towards the airport. “We’ll have a new and peaceful life there. Don’t worry, they won’t come after us.”

“But my son…” Elisa trailed off her words, looking hesistant to go out of Italy with Kazimir.

The man touched her hand to sooth her. Her hand were cold because of the cold temperature. “Your son fooled you, belleza,” he said before gritting his teeth. “He fooled you. He didn’t dismiss the case. Your son is the one who put me in this situation.”

Elisa shook her head with widened eyes. “No, my son can’t do that,” she muttered.

“He did, belleza,” he answered. “The officers told me that it was him who filed the case,” he lied just to get the woman’s sympathy.

Elisa’s hand gripoed Kazimir’s while shaking her head harder. “That’s impossible! He already dismissed the case! I heard him talk to the officee over the phone!”

“Belleza, listen to me,” he spoke softly as he parked the car inside the airport. “Ezio lied to you. He doesn’t care if he will hurt your feelings because he only thinks about getting revenge for his wife. He doesn’t care about you, belleza. He doesn’t deserve to be call your son.”

A single tear fell from Elisa’s eyes. “How could he do this to me?” her body started shaking a little bit as she wept more. “I’m his mother, but he…”

Kazimir hugged Elisa in hopes to comfort her. He looked apologetic outside, but on the inside, he is celebrating because he finally put a crack in Elisa and Ezio’s relationship.

“Don’t worry, belleza. Once we leave this country, he can’t ruin our lives anymore,” he spoke. “Now, will you leave with me and stay with me in Poland?”

Without hesitation, Elisa nodded. That’s the only thing that Kazimir needed before pulling her out of the car to go the plane.

He was excited to build a new life with Elisa in a foreign country. He just needs to create new identities for both of them, then they can live peacefully without Ezio coming after them.

However, his thoughts were ruined when he saw a familiar man standing on the stairs of Kazimir’s plane. He didn’t notice it immediately but his plane was surrounded by several high-end cars, where various bulky men were standing.

“Nice to see you again, Kazimir,” Ezio greeted with a mocking smile. “I had a hard time looking for you. Today must be my lucky day.”

Rage filled Kazimir’s body just by seeing his rival looking triumphant. He didn’t expect to see him in his own plane. He thought that his plan is perfect. Just a few steps and he will finally have the life that he wanted, but Ezio just came to ruin it.

Before Kazimir could speak, Elisa stepped up. “Son! Please! Let us go!” she shouted with her pleading eyes. “Just forget and forgive him. We just want to live a good life!”

Ezio chuckled. “Forgive and forget?” he mocked. “That man killed my wife and you’re telling me to forgive him? Seems like you forgot that he killed your husband, too?”

Kazimir didn’t back down. “Elisa wants to stay with me. Can’t you understand that?” his hand reached for the gun behind him. “Will you really choose some bitch over your own mother?!”

Ezio’s ears rang and his blood boiled after hearing Kazimir’s words. “My wife’s not a bitch!” he screamed at his with thunderous voice.

Kazimir just smirked and taunted him more. “Compare to Elisa, that woman is nothing but a trash. I can’t understand why you kept on choosing a bitch rather than your mother’s happiness. Bastard!”

Ezio cannot control his anger. He reached for his gun, but before he could do that, Kazimir pulled it out and aimed towards Ezio.

“Die!” he shouted before pulling the trigger.

However, before his finger could even toucher the trigger, he felt something sharp hit his neck, which was followed by a liquid entering his body.

Slowly, he looked back with furrowed eyebrows, just to see Elisa pushing the syringe deeper into his veins.

“Belleza,” his words stuttered. “Why?”

Betrayal, surprise, and confusion filled his body while staring at Elisa’s face that is void of any emotion. She pulled the syringe out and let a little bit of blood came out of Kazimir’s neck.

“That’s for killing my husband,” Elisa spoke with a cold voice. “Die, Kazimir. I want you dead.”
