A deal with the Billionaire Chapter Thirty
" Dad." A smile gradually flashed on my face." I've missed you, baby, I've missed you so much. I have been such a terrible father. I couldn't even check up on my child during her toughest moments, what kind of a father does that?"I sighed, he was indeed terrible. I was waiting for his call for such a long time. I thought he would call to check up on me, at least for once. I felt he never cared about me anymore, ever since he got his new woman I'm guessing he must have a new family now, so the love was slowly slipping away." you're horrendous." I chuckled, and he joined me.No matter how tough I try to portray myself in front of other people, I still feel vulnerable around my loved ones. I rarely shed tears, but when I do then it implies that the person or something means a lot to me." I'm sorry for not being the best father to you, Gabby." " It's fine dad, I forgive you." I licked my lips, tasting the lipgloss I had applied a few hours ago. " Can we meet up sometime? I've got some

At that moment, I felt empathy for him. He appeared broken and in distress to me. After all these years, I thought was leading his best life.Now I realized that being away from us was taking a big toll on him.Just in time our food arrived, I sat up straight as the waiter placed our order in front of us. I could taste the medium-rare steak in my mouth.Immediately after my meal was placed on the table, I quickly picked up the cutlery, and by cutting a piece of the steak, straight it went into my mouth. Gosh! I've never enjoyed steak as much as I was enjoying every bite I took from the steak.I slowly opened my eyes when I noticed how quiet the atmosphere had become, I looked up and found my dad staring at me. Ouch, I forgot that we were having a conversation. After chowing down the piece of meat in my mouth, I turned to him." Why did you leave us?" I sounded so benign, so I was unbothered, but honestly, I couldn't help but care for him.I've longed for the day I would be able to as

" So I will be requiring your assistance as I'm new to all these."" Your father is always at your service. So what's the second one?"I paused. The second thing. He would undoubtedly turn down my request if he eventually gets to hear my request." Gabby? He called. What's the matter?"I took a deep breath in and out." It's Michelle."He to shake his head sideways. Just what I expected, He would never want to help because of Michelle's parents warning the last time we attempted to help her. mom had bluntly refused as well." We are not doing this. You should away too." He cautioned." But I can't dad. She is my best friend. Like a little sister to me and I can't bear seeing her suffer." Tears had clouded my eyes, almost blinding my vision." You are going to end up endangering yourself. You know who her parents are. They won't let you be at peace if you meddle in their matters, we've been through Gabrielle and I won't repeat myself. Your firm is growing stronger by the day, I don't wa

A lot of our fans and teammates never thought Miles and I could be close buddies because we were each other's competition. The only difference between my goal and his was that he played for the game but I play to make money. From a quarterback to a model, managing several hotels around the world, it was easier for me to reach the height I attained.When I got the status as the best quarterback at the NFL, he was even happier than I was. He celebrated me just like a brother would.He was my right-hand man, my best friend.We might come from varied backgrounds but it didn't change our friendship nor did I make him feel that I was superior to him. We played every match together, trained together, and support one another.I recall the day I announced my quitting the team, Miles was so mad at me that he didn't speak to me for weeks. I tried so hard to convince him without disclosing my main reason for quitting the game but once I told him that I wasn't enjoying the ga

Why did my best friend have to be so smart? He shouldn't be this smart to notice something was off about me or my life. Was something wrong with my and Gabrielle's relationship? Or was there something he was seeing that I was not? I try not to pay any sort of attention to my illness, whenever It comes to my mind, I just take a bottle of spirit and sleep to forget about it. I didn't let it affect my performance in any way and neither did I let it affect my mood, thanks to Gabrielle I was able to focus on something else other than myself.All those questions thronged in my mind. I was unnerved. " Why do you think that I'm hiding something? " I asked after much contemplation over a come back to his suspicion. I needed to know. Perhaps he can't talk about me and Gabrielle. Maybe I wasn't so sure, but I felt so. I could be wrong. Presumably.He shrugged. " you are hiding something. I'm not dumb. You never acted like this before. Like seriously, your recent behavior is kinda odd to me, like

I was not in any position to ever think of falling in love not physically or emotionally, and neither was she. Her feelings died when her ex-fiancee had abandoned her at the altar.On the contrary, she was so in love with that guy. She wanted him back so badly that I needed my ex-wife when she had left me." Bro!"Reasons why I was suddenly clingy. I always yearn for her company and whenever she is around me I feel like time runs out too fast. I always felt like I had achieved so much in a day watching her smile.Her pearly white perfect dentition whenever she laughs could have me staring at her all day.See her frown at my words and yawn whenever I crack a joke. It soothed my heart by a mere gazing at her no matter her mood.Being with her for just a few months had brought these feelings that I hadn't felt before and I'm afraid it might end up ruining my plans." Cole!" Miles shook my shoulders vigorously.I slipped out of my daze immediately. I looked around and realized that my pla

I chuckled. It was my clap. The way I had appreciated his friend. I saw the surprised expression everyone wore, including the middle-aged man whom I assume, was the coach telling by his plain joggers and a whistle around his neck."Mmmhm, I was encouraging you." I snickered. Sipping on my diet Cola before turning his way." let's go to my office, I need to freshen up first," Cole said before stepping down from the bench and continuing out. I followed at once.Immediately we entered his office, he took his sweat sports apparel off revealing his bare chest. I almost drooled on my shirt watching that athletic body and perfectly toned muscles. I wanted to jump on him and run my hands through his sweaty hot body. It's been so long since I had something big between my legs, I could see vividly every single drop of sweat dripping down his fair skin, and I could taste his lips by a mere glance at them. I was tempted to mmmm! Grab his cork and swallow it whole. I was so tempted. " Pull yourself

I felt two arms wrapped around me, bringing me closer. I knew who it was already. He placed my head on his shoulder and his fingers ran across my back.I closed my eyes, loving the feeling, the beautiful touch. The intimacy. I loved every second of it. Everything." I think we should go now. Let me get my car keys from the office." He slowly pulled away and continued to his office while I left to wait by the car.*****We got to his place. I mean his castle.His building Villa was situated in a lonely area that had just a few buildings around, but his Villa was the vastest. From the entrance to the main building was like stepping into heaven on earth.It got me wondering, how could just one person live in such a place? Well, now I understand why he prefers to hang out at his clubhouse.His Villa was way bigger than my place. Even though my dad's Villa seemed way larger but the bus was more impressive, the entire place was decked with lights and superior facilities it would blow your mi

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."

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

" 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

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. I needed them ever since the pain had begun intensifying especially during the night. The thoughts of Gabrielle got me feeling

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
