Bargain Bride: The Billionaire’s Forced Wife

EZIO USED THE RECORDINGS and the list sent by Chiara to find those people who were the source of Kazimir’s power. It was Luigi and Dante who left Italy work on those people staying in Poland, while Ezio stayed in the country to take care of those Italian people helping their rival.

It was supposed to be a long job. After all, Kazimir has a lot of connections and those people are not the normal ones. These people hold power in their respective areas, making it difficult for them.

However, Dante is efficient in finding holes on those people so that they blackmail them. It was unethical, but Ezio knew that they have to move fast. Besides, Chiara also sent confidential information about those people, that it made Dante pressured to move faster.

They worked day and night, as if they don’t get tired. Dante was busy on finding information to use against them, while Ezio and Luigi were the ones to talk to them. If they will agree to their request, which is to cut off their connection with Kazimir, they will let th go. However, those who didn’t bend to their will suffered great loss.

Just like what’s happening to the CEO of Fabbri Enterprises.

“Signor Ezio!” Lucio greeted Ezio as he entered the private suite of the restaurant where they are going to have a meeting.

Lucio stood up and shook hands with the young businessman. He was on all smiles, acting like they were close friends. He guided Ezio to his sit with a warm welcome.

Seeing that made the CEO of Fabbri Enterprises shocked, confused, and nervous. He didn’t expect that Lucio, his biggest client, is connected and close to the rival of his boss, Kazimir.

Ezio sat down on his chair with confidence, emitting an aura of authority. He smiled with intent before looking at Mr. Fabbri, who’s hands are now sweating.

“It’s nice to see you again, Mr. Fabbri,” Ezio spoke to him while giving a seemingly genuine, but fake smile. “I’m surprised to see you here. You must be the supplier that Signor Lucio told me.”

Lucio hold back a laugh by taking a sip on his coffee. He wanted to laugh on Mr. Fabbri’s expression when he saw Ezio; it was priceless. And also, he was impressed on how Ezio acted like he wad clueless.

Mr. Fabbri composed himself before answering. “I’m happy to see you, Signor Ezio,” he greeted him back. “What brings you here? I wasn’t inform that you will attend. I should have prepared more.”

Ezio just chuckled before resting his elbows on his knees, as he leaned towards the old man in front of him. “Well, Signor Lucio is a good friend of mine. He wanted me to meet you since you were a good business partner and supplier.”

“Oh, yes!” Mr. Fabbri responded and smiled even though he is shaking inside. “Signor Lucio and I have been partners for years. I always make sure to give the best products not just for him but for all of my costumers,” he added before asking. “Perhaps you would want to try my company’s business, signor?”

“I would love to, but,” Ezio trailed off his words before pulling his phone from his pocket. He scrolled like he wasn’t in a meeting before grinning and showing the screen to Mr. Fabbri. “I’m not sure if I would want to be connected to someone with huge issue.”

When Mr. Fabbri’s eyes landed on the phone’s screen, his whole body panicked. His pupils shrinked, his palms became colder, and his body started sweating.

He just shrugged to hide his real emotions and chuckled. “That must be a fake news, signor. My company won’t do such things,” he defended himself.

Lucio couldn’t help but look at the screen, too. He pretended to be shocked before turning his head to Mr. Fabbri. “Fake products? What’s that? You gave us fake products? Just mere imitations?”

Mr. Fabbri hurriedly shook his head. “That’s not true, signor. You’ve been a customer of mine for years! You know that I only give authentic products!”

Lucio bit the inside of his cheeks before looking at Ezio. “Signor, what he said is true. His products are top notched! I never had a problem with them,” he spoke according to their plan. “There must be someone tarnishing their image.”

Ezio just nodded as he put the phone back in his pocket. “I supposed to. It’s very easy to spread fake news today, after all,” he answered before standing up. “Please excuse me. I’ll just call my wife,” he lied before leaving the private suite.

Just moments after Ezio left, Lucio stood up. “Mr. Fabbri, I’ll talk to Signor Ezio, okay?” he spoke with assurance while tapping his Mr. Fabbri’s back playfully. “I’ll make sure he will recognize your company. You deserve it after all! Besides, partnering with him will surely make your business go boom!”

Mr. Fabbri smiled and felt relieved by his words. Afterwards, Lucio left the room to follow Ezio. Mr. Fabbri was left alone inside.

At first, he was nervous when Ezio arrived. Just two days ago, Ezio met him up and urged him to go against Kazimir, which he turned down. He would never betray his boss like that, especially now that he increased his payments to him.

Under Kazimir’s wing, Mr. Fabbri’s financial life won’t lack. It is always abundant. All he had to do is to make sure that Kazimir will get top assassins and gunmens to help him cleaning his way. It’s just a piece of cake for him, in exchange for stacks of money.

Minutes passed and Mr. Fabbri noticed that Lucio and Ezio haven’t go back yet. He started to get worried, so he decided to check them out.

The moment he opened the door of the private suite, clicks from cameras and flashes of lights greeted him. The lights were too bright that he can’t see it clearly. Suddenly, he heard several voices from different people asking.

“Did you really use imitations in your products, sir?”

“An information said that you used different ingredients from what you advertised. Are you stealing money from your clients?”

“A former client of yours came up to say that your products wete failures and most of those malfunctioned. What can you say about this?”

More questions and journalists swarmed towards him. His way out of the private suite was blocked and now, the room is filled with the people from the media. He tried to look for Ezio and Lucio from the crowd to ask for help, but to no avail.

On the private parking lot of the restaurant, Ezio and Lucio were laughing with each other while watching a live stream of what’s happening to Mr. Fabbri. News about his clients’ dissatisfaction on his products emerged, as well as the announcements of various businessman stating that they are cutting of their connection with the Fabbri Enterprises.

They already either destroyed or encouraged almost three-fourths on what’s on the list. Just a little bit more and Kazimir’s foundation will crumble.

ON THE OTHER PART OF THE GLOBE, Kazimir and Elisa were living the best of their lives. They are currently in Hong Kong to attend the auction that Elisa wanted to join. Because of her persuasion and good reasoning skills, Elisa made him agree not to bring anyone with him aside from his driver.

“I’m really excited to have our private moments, Kaz,” Elisa spoke while they were walking on the sea side, overlooking the beauty of the city.

Kazimir turned his head to her and asked with a playful smile. “But we had our private times in the mansion, too. Don’t you want it there?”

“Not like that,” she answered. “I mean, in the mansion, there are a lot of people. We can only have our private time inside the bedroom or in your office. But a lot of times, Jacob is there too. But I understand because he’s your assistant and he’d been working for your for decades.”

Kazimir couldn’t help but to feel butterflies in his stomach after hearing her words. Just from his understanding, Elisa wanted to have him all by herself, that even having his assistant nearby made her uncomfortable and out of place. He wasn’t able to see the real reason why Elisa said that.

“We can have the mansion all by ourselves, belleza,” he responded before kissing the top of her head like a loving husband. “I’ll send my men and Jacob to my other houses. The maids, they can just stay in the mansion until afternoon. That way, we can have the privacy we want.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The word “privacy” seemed harmless, but in Kazimir’s mind, he is already imagining the nasty and lustful things he will do to Elisa once they were alone. He won’t let even a single part of the mansion to not witness them being one.

Elisa gave him a small smile, even though she felt disgusted inside. She really wanted to go home, because Kazimir has been extra touchy since they arrived in Hong Kong, and she’s worried that he might go over the line. She doesn’t know how long she can keep Kazimir on the leash.

She was just waiting for Chiara’s signal for her to move again. Once her son successfully removed the pests and found strong evidences against Kazimir, then they can go home. Once that happened, Kazimir’s trial will start and her act will end.

“Here, drink some juice. I made that for you,” Elisa spoke while giving him a black tumbler. “It’s iced tea. Your favorite.”

Kazimir smiled before drinking the juice. Since Elisa lived with him, she has this habit of making juice or any drinks for him. All of them taste so good that his day is not complete if he can’t have it.

Little did he know that Elisa didn’t do that just because he is special. Elise put something inside those drinks. Something that will make him defenseless later on.
