The Billionaire's Secret Lover

“ Deborah” 

I paused as soon as I heard Nina call that woman's name. I was on my way back from chatting with Vino and Victor who were leaving for Italy as they have pending issues to get to.

I was about to come back to take Nina to the hotel where the reception was when I heard her whisper that name. I knew Nina wouldn't ever call her if she was not here which was why I moved closer to her and pulled her close to me seeing that she was shivering from fear...

“ It's okay, Tesoro. I'm here now” I whispered to her as I hugged her close while kissing her hair with my eyes closed. I hate it when she's so afraid. Damn! That stupid Private Investigator that couldn't get a job done. After paying a huge sum of money to him, he couldn't find me a woman, just a woman in the same country we were in.

I signal to John who was standing in front of the church giving me some alone time with Nina. He rushed to my side as he waited for my order.

“ Have Mark bring the car?” I told him before turning to Nina who was a bit calmer now.

“ Amore, where did you see Deborah?” I asked her just as Mark pulled the car over while John stepped out from the passenger's side to open the door for us...

“ There,” Nina replied as she pointed to the far corner of the garden where a large shrub tree was. I nodded at her before ushering her into the car. I turned to John who was still at the door looking at me.

“ Deborah was here. I want you to find her” I told John who nodded at me before going to find Don while I got into the car as Mark pulled out of the church taking the direction of the hotel.

“ There you are!!” Lillian screamed as soon as she saw us pulled over at the parking lot of the hotel. She came over to drag Nina off the car about to get back to the hotel but I stopped her.

“ Lillian,” I called to her, causing her to turn to stare at me, surprised that I was referring to her instead of Nina.

“ Yes Michael, any problem?” Lillian asked me as she came over to me, a bit surprised that I wanted to talk to her without Nina being aware of it. 

I signaled Mark to help Nina into the hotel. Mark nodded and went to bid my request. I watched as Mark guided Nina into the hotel, I waited until they were out of earshot before turning to whisper to Lillian.

“ Please, I need you to watch Nina. I'm afraid that Deborah might be here” I told her running my hands through my hair in frustration. I wanted to cancel this reception but everyone was eager for it, even I was eager to see how my wife looked in her dress.

" Deborah?" Lillian exclaimed in shock. I watch as she turns to look at Nina's retreating with sadness on her face. If only there was anything I could to find Deborah by myself, I would have done that. I don't want to see that feeling of fear in her eyes anymore.

" Yes Lillian, I'm afraid Nina saw her at the church earlier. I don't know what to do anymore" I confess to Lillian as I turned to see most of the wedding guests already arriving with their wives and girlfriends, they were mostly business associates and employees. They stopped to congratulate me before going into the hall.
