My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal
“I do not need you to love me.” He rebuts coldly. “I need you to marry me.”
“I do not want to, Mr Bolt.” I reiterate in case the stubborn asshole hadn’t understood my view on the subject.
“I believe you think you have a choice in the matter.” He smiles wolfishly. “Marry me or I’ll let those wolves have a field day with tearing your company from your hands.”
“I would rather take my chances with them than you.”
He smirks, stepping close enough that his sandalwood scent wraps me in a cloud I wasn’t eager to escape.
“Marriage to me wouldn’t be so bad as you well know it.” He smirked running an eye up and down my body. “I’ll keep your days busy with clients and your nights very warm.”

Maria Belluci had lived a rather peaceful life as the daughter of one of London’s elite businessmen but she had her carefully organized life torn away from her when she found her half-sister in bed with her fiancé a few weeks before their wedding.
Distraught, she had a one-night stand with the famed billionaire CEO Sebastian Bolt and left before he could wake up.
She decided to leave her family, who had sided with her half-sister and everything associated with them, behind to start over, but her story was far from over as this gripping tale of passion, desire, and betrayal spun her into the arms of Sebastian again.
Would they overcome all odds stacked against them or would their romance shatter under the weight of adversity?

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-Seven Flowery Moments Maria's POV My heart banged wildly as I rushed back to my penthouse after exiting Sebastian's room thinking that I would turn around and see him coming after me. “How could you do that, Maria? Come on, how could you do that?” I repeated to myself over again as I walked back. My body still trembled from Sebastian's touch and longed for it but my brain was seriously beating my body for betraying us. How could I just jump into bed with him after months where he ignored me and didn't even care one bit? How could I just jump into his bed after the naughty tantrum-like behaviour he displayed when I was with Vicenzo? I opened the door to the penthouse and when I entered, moved straight to the bathroom. “Are you alright, Maria?” I turned to see Helena on the sofa and she looked as if she had been waiting up for me. “What's the time?” “It's five AM.” I sighed resignedly and slumped down on the sofa in front of Helena, then bit my lip to prevent from cryi

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-SixBurning With Jealousy Sebastian's PoV The endless meetings concerning the annual business conference were taking their toll as usual. I was moving from one meeting to the other with the top guns so I hadn't even had time to ask if Maria had arrived or if she was settled in the penthouse. I wanted to give her the best experience while she was in Paris, so I instructed my other pilot to bring her down to Paris with my other private jet and I also instructed the host that when they arrived they should only be given the best. The meeting I just came out from lasted for hours. Don't get me wrong, it was meetings such as that one that placed me on a higher pedestal than businessmen of my age but it was long and I was tired physically. When we came out of the boardroom, my physical exhaustion changed to anger and burning jealousy when I saw Maria with some other guy. The guy was pleased to see me and I didn't mean to be rude but I was burning too much with jealousy to even thi

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-FiveThe Annual Corporate Conference Maria's POV The journey to Paris was more enjoyable than the last time because I was not treated as a first time speaker but a seasoned writer. Helena and I were taken to Paris with a private jet and when we arrived, we were lodged in one of the best penthouses in one of Sebastian's highrise buildings. When we entered the penthouse, Helena whistled and turned to me. “At this point Maria, I doubt that all of this is because you are a speaker. You were a speaker last year and we didn't get all of these.” I folded my arms and then raised my brow “Really? Why do you think we were given this type of treatment then?” “Isn’t it obvious? Sebastian of course. We came in his private jet and now we are in one of the best apartments in his highrise buildings.” I chuckled and shook my head. “You of all people know that Sebastian doesn't give a damn about me so yes, he may be the owner but it could have been that the panel decided that it had to be that

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-FourThe Armani Brothers Maria's POV I smiled as I laid sleeping Nathan on his bed. I thought about my day with him and I must say that I had a swell time with him at the new zoo downtown. We saw different types of animals, participated in fun activities and I allowed ice cream and had other snacks. The highlight for me was spending time with my son but at different times I felt like people were watching us. I looked over my shoulder at different times but didn't see anyone. “Goodnight, my love.” I pecked his cheek. He slept off immediately after he ate dinner and had his bath because he was exhausted after the long fun day he had. I stayed back in Nathan's room and watched him as he slept thinking about how he looked so much like his father. Speaking about his father, at one point while we were in the zoo, I felt that Sebastian was there and I even perceived his signature cologne but then the logical part of me reasoned that I must be missing him deeply to feel that way.

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-ThreeCatching A Glimpse Sebastian's PoV It was Saturday and since my mother started living with Ailene, I ensured to have breakfast with them every Saturday so that I could spend some time with them and catch up on how their week went. When I entered, I saw that breakfast was already set at Ailene's terrace. “Okay, darling. Enjoy your day and ensure to tell me all about it when you get back.” “Okay, Aiva.” I heard the sweet childish voice on the other end of the video call and knew that my mother was having facetime with Nathan. They had become so close, they always spent some time together. “Nathan says hello.” She informed Ailene after ending the call. “He is on his way to the new zoo downtown with Maria and is so excited about it.” “I can imagine how excited he is right now. His beautiful eyes would be aglow and his cheeks would be reddish with excitement.” Ailene replied with a fond smile on her face. As they talked about Maria and Nathan, I behaved as if I was not in

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-TwoBuilding Trust Walls Keith's POV I sighed as I watched Sebastian speed off in his car. “Why are you torturing yourself this way?” I asked no one in particular. “You are obviously still in love with this woman and even if you don't say it, your body first of all pines after her.” “Is Sebastian okay?” I heard someone ask behind me and turned to see Helena. I gave her a small smile and said. “Just business discussions giving him some kind of heat.” She raised one elegant bro and folded her smooth hands. “Business discussions or the woman in the gold dress.” I sighed and smiled. “I forgot that you know me all too well. Okay fine. The woman.” “But he didn't say anything to her after the little hand wave he gave her. He only spent the rest of the night with his eyes glued on her. Maria could be pregnant right now from the amount of eye-fucking she received from Sebastian tonight.” When I heard her last sentence, I couldn't help myself so I bent forward and laughed hard.
