A deal with the Billionaire Chapter Fifty
" Please have a seat." The doctor gestured with his hand before proceeding across the table and settling right in front of us." Doctor, please can you explain to us what is going on here? What happened to my friend?" Miles broke the silence immediately. The doctor took a deep sigh and picked up a chat from his desk and ran his eyes through it before raising his head to look at us again." I am sorry to say but Mr. Cole has had a brain tumor for a while now." " What! How long is a while doctor?" Miles asked while I just sat there frozen in time as I was trying so hard to process everything going on around me." It's been three years already. He has been managing the tumor growth for thread years and has refused surgery until recently when he suddenly called me and told me that he wanted to go through with the surgery. I was beyond excited for him and offered to leave my vacation with my family midway to come to attend to him but he insisted to take his team to the finals, and after t

A week later, I got a call from Miles that Cole was finally awake. My heart leaped in excitement on hearing such wonderful news.I left everything I was doing and took off to the hospital, and while I ran through the halls it felt like I wasn't speeding up enough, that I needed to fly if possible teleport to his room. I just couldn't wait to see him, to hear his beautiful voice again.But when I opened the door, I was met with a sad face, Miles seemed not quite excited as I speculated he would be, rather he was glum and his eyes appeared red as if he had been crying." Gabby! Hey, you. You are here." He forced a smile as he walked up to me and gave me a quick hug. I didn't think anything could be wrong on such a joyous day so I never cared to ask." He has been asking for you ever since he opened his eyes," Miles muttered. " Really?" " Yeah, why don't you go ahead and see him? I will wait outside." he left the room immediately before I could say a word.I hurriedly made my way to C

On getting there, They all had a smile on their faces as I walked up to them." Sir, since the bride is here shall we commence with marriage?" Miles asked the man I presume to be a priest or a lawyer." Of course, please let the bride and groom come forward." He announced and Cole rolled his wheelchair towards him while I walked next to him.He went ahead and did the norm for a union and asked us to say our vows.Cole held my hand as he gazed into my eyes. " First of all, I want to start by telling you how gorgeous you look in your dress, and use this opportunity to thank you for being a part of my life. I met you when I had given up on everything and your presence not only brought love into my life again but it brought a light in this dark heart of mine, my love. And with every single breath I take my love for you continues to blossom and my heart grows even funder of you, I promise to always stand by you till my last breath."

PrologueI scanned as the makeup artist applied a nice shade of lipstick on my lips making them look so sumptuous. Though I've been used to applying makeup on my own, well, what can I say, it's my wedding today! So I want to look perfect for my man.Hmmm! I've fantasized about this day for such a long time, Connor and I had come far enough and we were ready to tie the knot, to be together and inseparable for eternity. I couldn't help the smile that had sped up across my face. At this point, I knew the makeup artist would have been so frustrated by all my grins. Through the reflection on the mirror, I notice the doorknob twist as the door opens ajar, revealing my perspiring best friend as she galloped into the room. I whirled my eyes at her, she invariably has to be late for everything. I was glad she made it at least an hour early before my wedding. " Sorry, I had to run a few errands for granny. What's up? Michelle babbled nattily, running her hand through her damp dirty blonde hair

I heard her sniffle, my heart shattered into a million pieces." your father is doing everything in his power to get hold of Connor." Mom said.I whirled my eyes at the mention of my father. Everything happened because of him, he had to show his ugly face at my wedding, ruining with his ill-fortune. I reckoned if mom had walked me down the aisle perhaps Connor and I would have been married by now. " that asshole, I hate him!"" He is your father, Gabby!" I scoffed loudly. " my father, what kind of a father abandoned his family for some cheap whore?" I spat." Gabrielle..." My mom yelled." No mom, answer me. he abandoned us, and here you are acting like none of that happened, feeling remorse for the same man who left you take carter for your child, all alone?"" He's changed now baby, we should learn to forgive and forget." She persuaded.I rolled my eyes, mom is definitely by love. I hate men. " Bye, mom." Without reticence, I hung up th

In a blink of an eye, I saw them walking toward the car while holding each other's hands. Out of curiosity, I sat up and adjusted my scarf and sunshade." Bestie! " Michelle grinned and clasped her face against mine. I forced a smile at her, trying to decipher why she was acting unduly bizarre." Meet Henry." I perked up at the dude, this time I was able to get a good glance at him. Damn! He is way too handsome seeing him at a close range. His bushy hair and beard gave him that sexy-ass look any girl would kill for. Excluding myself because he appeared to be intimate with my best friend. " Hi, Henry!"" Hi, you must be Gabrielle," Henry said stretching out his hand.I reciprocated his handshake and we shook hands slowly. I diverted my eyes to Michelle. We had agreed to not disclose my identity to anyone but it seems someone did the opposite of what we agreed on. I guess she sensed my mood and decided to come forward. " Henry is my fiancee." She grinned at me, flashing her perfect den

I sighed and began making my way to the clothing section, I would need some outfits and shoes. At least I can add some good clothes to my wardrobe. I sauntered at a low pace, my eyes wandering the entire store for my taste. The place wasn't so deserted as I thought it would be, some customers were busy shuffling through some dress hangers while most of them took pictures with the celebrity, Cole Manchester.It has been quite a while since I saw him, we met at a gala affair ten years ago. Dad got invited so he took mom and me along.Cole and I had one thing in broad, our dads were well-recognized businessmen in the city. Although, I was only known for being the molly cuddled child of some wealthy businessman who spends her day shopping, clubbing, and eating at luxurious restaurants went to a highly prestigious school, and became a lawyer under her father's influence. I hated the fact that I was only everything I did, all my hard work always comes down to my father's status in society.

" Is it Michelle?"I swerved immediately, wondering how on earth he knew her name. Though I was popular, however, my best friend wasn't, she invariably finds a way to evade anything that would make her viral, although one time she did go viral but with my name attached to the story as her best friend. " Yeah, her." " She is with some guy, call her and let her know you are with me." I hesitated for a while, but I still grabbed my phone from my purse and dialed her number. " Hey! I will step out for a little while with someone. Don't freak out, it's Cole Manchester. For real. Alright, have fun." I hung up the call and shoved my phone back into my purse, then I wore my scarf and sunglasses back on. " Why are you covering your face, who exactly are you hiding from?" He asked attempting to take my hand into his. I jerked his hand and folded my hands." None of your business," I mumbled and started walking ahead of him. I could feel the gaping scrutiny of people at me as I strode to the

Gabrielle's POVImmediately the blimp showed up, everywhere became quiet and the people sitting next to me turn and looked up in my direction. The mumbling began as quickly as I was recognized by a few people around and from there, in just solid seconds the entire eyes on the arena had turned my way.I had my hand over my face as I hurriedly left for my car.I kept reprimanding my heart for feeling hurt when it knows that nothing was real. Everything was just a game, and nothing more. I don't have the right to be upset, I wanted him to choose someone else, to be with his family. He made it clear to me that he loves someone else at first and I believed his words. How on earth was I supposed to know that I was the one he loves? How could he do this to me? Perhaps he still wants to play games with his ex-wife? He didn't leave me with any choice.I was mumbling to myself as I walked down the parking lot.Just as I was about to open the door of my car, someone held my hand I knew he was

Gabrielle's POVI was busy enjoying my beautiful and quiet slumber when my phone beeped continuously. I got up and saw it was a foreign number, a call from my bestie Michelle, quickly I slide my thumb across the screen. " Hey, Gabby! Are you dressed up yet? " Michele asked without hesitation.Oh yeah! I forgot today is the game. But it wouldn't hurt to pull Michelle's legs just a little bit." Dressed up for what exactly? Where am I going?" Did I ask bluntly? " Are you fucking kidding me!" She screamed almost deafening my eardrums. Girl do I have to come over there and whoop your ass myself?" I could sense the fury in her voice. I burst into laughter immediately, I couldn't hold back the pretense anymore.I hear her heave a sigh of relief. " Please never do that again!" " I'm sorry Mich, I'm so sorry. " I said trying to control myself." So tell me, are you getting ready for the game?" She asked calmly." Yeah, I am of course. But I'm just waking up and the game won't start until

"Hello! Are you still with me Gab? I heard Michelle's voice in my head and I snapped back to reality. Will you stop thinking and tell me already?" She nagged." Well, he gave me a special invite to his team's finals this Friday."" Oooh! I see a proposal on the way." She quipped." You are crazy, stop talking nonsense. Nothing like that will happen, we are just good friends that's all." " Uh-huh, good friends that fuck huh?"" Michelle quit teasing me or I'm going to hang up." I threatened to take the phone off my ear." Not yet, hold on! She yelled. There is something I need to tell you." Just in the nick of time, my secretary knocked on the door. " Yeah, come in," I announced and she proceeded into my office carrying a big box in her hands." A message for you ma'am." She placed it on my table and continued out." Hey, Mich. A box just came in for me can we talk later?" I asked her while analyzing the big box in front of me. " Listen Gab, I can't see you later. I must tell you now

Gabrielle's POVI got to the office in such a bright and delighted mood. I couldn't stop thinking about my crazy evening with Cole yesterday, it still felt like a dream perhaps a real wet and dirty indelible dream, that I wished I had every morning and night like a vitamin pill. I strode into the hall and my secretary stood up from her desk immediately and followed me."Good morning Ma'am." She greeted." Morning Zara. What are my schedules for today?" I asked as I continued to my office." you have a meeting with Mr. Cooper at 1 pm and Mrs. Greenville had scheduled an appointment with you at 3:30 pm." my Secretary recited while walking next to me as I proceeded into my office. once I opened the door, I noticed a bouquet of roses lying on my table, I already knew who had sent it and immediately I had this big grin on my face.Quickly, I sat down on my chair while my Secretary stood in front of me holding the files and documents that needed to be

Cole's POV" Did you talk to her? What did she say?" Miles ran to me the moment I walked in.I plopped myself down on the couch, letting out a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop the smile that forced its way to my lips. " Yes. I talked to her." I muttered as I couldn't stop the excitement inside of me each time my mind went to what had happened between us." Okay... I take it with the smile on your face that everything went well?" Miles stared at me bewildered at my lost state." yes, it did." " So what did she say when you confessed your feelings to her?" He queried." Nothing. I couldn't bring myself to say those words yet."" What! Why?" He jumped." Calm down buddy, this guy's got a plan." I winked at him and started up to my chambers.Walking into my bedroom, I continued straight to the restroom, went through my drug cabinet, and took out some painkillers.

He requested pleasingly.I looked at him, a bit uncertain. why was he apologizing and also why the special invitation to his team's game when the both of us are already done with our shrouding." Why?"" isn't it obvious?"I shook my head." you know... He began, fondling the back of his neck. I... No, Miles said such hurtful things to you, so I thought this little gesture of mine would make you feel better."I tilted my head to the side, watching him closely. Why did it seem like he just told me a fable? I sensed some odd behavior. How he spoke to me like he was short of words or perhaps he was trying to fix his words without sounding crazy." I don't believe you. " I said. I tore open the box and picked out heart-shaped chocolate, opened it, and took a bite out of it. " Miles did say hurtful things to me, and I suppose he should
