BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 35: GOING BACK FINALLY
Cara returned home to meet a pacing Evans, the veins on his neck shot out and she figured out immediately that Amber had revealed where she went to. Amber sat at the far corner of the room quiet with Mason, her eyes drooped and the house was unusually quiet."Mummy, where have you been? We've been waiting for you," Mason drew her attention to Evans."Cara, where did you go?" Evans' anger boomed throughout the house. "Don't tell me you want to see that bastard who beat you up?"She shifted her gaze to Amber who dropped her head to the floor."Amber, what the fuck? I begged you not to tell him where I was going.""She didn't tell me, I figured out, moreover have you forgotten that your friend can't lie. She tends to burn up immediately when she does, that is one of her weaknesses.""Oh," Cara said, relieving her legs of its pain."So answer my question," Evans faced her again. "Why exactly did you go to see him? We are trying to make this as stealth as possible, not letting anyone know
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 36: DOCUMENT IS COMPROMISED
Dusk was drawing near and Cara was still nowhere to be found, both men paced up and down the road while Amber sat with Mason, eating ice cream with him."Aunty Amber, what's wrong with daddy and Uncle Evans?""Daddy and Uncle Evans are waiting for mummy. Mummy should be here by now but we don't know why she's not here and it is making everybody worried.""But you don't look worried and you are also sitting with me, eating ice cream," he said innocently."Because I'm not wearing it on my face doesn't mean I'm not worried."Jason brought out his cellphone, trying to ring her line again. Same story, it went straight to voicemail."Is it going through already?" Evans asked with concerns laced in his voice."Not at all, I wonder why her phone will decide not to go through now. Of all days," Jason said."I have an idea, let me go up to the management and see if they can find any details on the flight," Evans suggested. "Stay with Amber and Mason, I'll be back soon."Evans left and Amber sto
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 37: ANOTHER RAY OF HOPE
He shook hands with the man just outside his home, his sleeves still rolled up and his hair packed flung everywhere with the haste he walked with."Thank you so much for meeting me at such an ungodly hour Barrister James," Jason thanked the lawyer that prepared the documents for them. He looked at his clothings, and he could see that the Barrister was set for bed. "I see you are set for bed, I'm so sorry for intruding.""Not at all Mr Pierce, it's my pleasure. Please come with me," the barrister led the way to his office with his glasses dangling on his neck, switching on the lights."So you were saying on the phone that one part of the document got stolen?""Yes Barrister, right in front of me, she was attacked," he explained. "I still have mine, can it be used to avert any issue in case the document gets into the wrong hands?""Mr Pierce, the document wasn't prepared like that. It's a complimenting document, one can't work without the other and also the one with you is almost as use
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 38: A FIGHT FOR POWER
Cara was released from the hospital the next morning and everybody decided to go home as soon as possible. Amber volunteered to stay with Cara at the McQueen's family house, Evans whined like a baby, hoping she would stay with him instead."We are not even married yet," Amber pushed his right shoulder teasingly."It doesn't matter, at least we are dating and I am man enough to take care of all our needs. Don't stay with Cara, come stay with me instead. I need a lot of pampering," he threw his arms and feet around like a child.Amber couldn't help the sight in front of her, she lowered herself to her knees, supporting herself with it and bursted out with laughter."You..you are such a big baby," she said, still laughing."I'm your big baby Amber," he pouted, hitting her gently with his shoulders.Jason and Cara stood at a lengthy distance away from them. They seemed to be in a more serious conversation than Evans and Amber."Now that the document's gone, what does that mean? Does it me
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 39: CAUGHT IN THE ACT
2 weeks laterJackson walked into GLAMFORT ENTERPRISES with a file in his hand, both containing Jason and Cara's file signed.He headed down straight to the legal department, asking for the head lawyer in charge."Good morning Sir Jackson, how may I help you this morning," Brian—the head lawyer—stood up, extending a handshake to him. Without a word, Jackson dropped the files on his table and helped himself to a seat. Brian cleared his throat, reclining to his seat. He took a look at the file and read through."Uhmmm, Sir Jackson. We can't accept this," he said."What do you mean?" Jackson's voice boomed from anger."No need to get angry Sir," Brian apologized. "It's just that in the last 72 hours we've received different documents of claims about the company. Madam Cara has yet to say anything about it.""Cara doesn't have to say anything about anything, can't you see the documents laid out before you? Did anyone bring a document of this nature?"Brian looked up with suspicion. "Actu
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 40: FINALLY FREE
Cynthia laid on the floor in her room, the rented apartment Jason got. Her phone beside her, just a few inches above her head.Her mind wandered to the things she had gotten herself into, now it was too late to stop or opt out. Her ringing phone dragged her subconscious mind back to the surface. The caller ID showed Adrian.Tired and frustrated, with no iota of enthusiasm, she picked up at the second ring without saying a word."Is my darling Cynthia pissed at me?" Adrian teased over the phone."Just say what you want and get it over with," she hissed into the phone. "I handed the documents to you, can you please leave me alone now?""Not so fast love, according to the research I made, the documents are useless for now.""I don't care, I held the end of my bargain, be a man and hold yours.""There's no bargain anywhere Cynthia, you mentally had that yourself."She sighed and sat upright. "I don't know how much pain I might have caused you, or caused your family but I swear to my late p
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 41: OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY
Just like every other day since the incident of his father going to claim Alexander's company had happened, the chit chat he once had with Cara reduced. He focused on his work, driving his company to the top of the charts. He no longer needed his father's help and had repaid whatever money he loaned him.His intercom buzzed, dragging his attention away from his work."Sir Jason, a package came in for you now. It's from the high court," his secretary divulged the information.At the mention of the high court, his head shot up and his demeanor changed. A wave of satisfaction finally coursing through his entire body."Have it sent to my office immediately.""Yes sir."Immediately, he dialed Cara's number. It went unanswered the first time and he tried again, still the same response.Without wasting too much time, he dialed Amber's phone which she picked immediately."Why's Cara not picking up her phone?" He said into the phone immediately."Well, she's still pissed at your father, thereb
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 42: A PAINED MAN
As soon as Cara pushed the door to the McQueen's door open, the creaking sound of the door echoed throughout the house.When she finally took charge of her father's mansion, she relieved every worker of their duties. Amber stood with open arms and a wide smile on her face."Congratulations," she screamed immediately she saw her enter but Cara's face said otherwise."How did you know?" Cara slumped on the couch with Mason fast asleep on her shoulders."Jason told me. What's wrong? You don't look too good," the space beside Cara deepened as Amber sat in it.She rested her head on the arm of the couch, a long deep sigh escaped from her lips."I messed up Amber, so badly. Today is the first day I'll see a very heartbreaking look on Jason's face, it was so sad.""What happened? Do you want to talk about it?""Remember the stupid way I was behaving ever since I found out about Sir Jackson going to the office. He saw Mason today and he had no idea that Jason had a kid. He behaved as if he wa

BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 60: DEAR CYNTHIA, I'M NOT MARRIED TO YOU
Jackson's lawyer sat in the living room with them, he held a couple of documents with him, waiting for the rest of the occupants to show up.Jason sat with his wife while Mason sat on his father's lap.“Who else are we waiting for daddy?”“Uhmmm,” he didn't know the appropriate title to give Cynthia. “Just a person affiliated with the family, that's all.”“They need to hurry up, punctuality is something we are being taught at school.”“Don't–”Cara cut in quickly. “I'm pretty sure they must be caught up in traffic. She'll be here soon.”She gave her husband the nastiest look ever, Jason looked away, hiding his face to the other side.Few minutes later, Cynthia walked in majestically like she owned the entire place. She kept chewing her gum noisily. “I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting, something held me up.”Cara rubbed her son's hand. “See, I told you, something caused her to be late.”The lawyer adjusted his glasses and sat up straight. “Shall we begin?”“Yes please,” Jason answe
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 59: JACKSON'S FUNERAL
The rain kept beating the wooden cover of the casket. Jason loosened his hair and let it fall all over his face, standing akimbo. Cara, Mason and the rest stood under an umbrella. She tried to cajole her husband to come under but he wouldn't bulge. His hard stare wouldn't leave his father's coffin.A call at work the week before announced to him that his father had passed away in his office. Traces of sleeping pills could be found in his bloodstream.Whoever murdered his father was still walking free.The screeching of a taxi car got their attention, Cynthia dropped from the car, dressed in a black fitted gown and a large hat. Her heels matched her outfit and he wondered if she was truly coming to a funeral or if she would hit the bar after this location.She opened her umbrella and joined the rest where the priest was giving a sermon.He kept watching her steps, trying to see if he would find anything incriminating. Dismissing it, he believed that he was just overthinking things.“Ma
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 58: ENDING THINGS WITH CYNTHIA GONE WRONG
Still humiliated by how Jason treated her in front of Stacey, she vowed to have her revenge on him. That is to continue to have an affair with his father, get him to overwrite his will if he has any and then take full control of his business.She was aware of how sufficient Jason was, he most probably wasn't going to be affected by not having a share in his father's will. But at the same time, there was nothing bad about having more than enough.She got up and walked into the bathroom almost immediately. As the water flowed freely to every part of her naked body, her mind traveled to the days where Adrian was behind all her irresponsible behavior.Now she was all alone and she could boldly say it was her sole handiwork now.She was as jobless as anything. Living off the allowance placed on her by Jason is 10x better than having a job and now she would do anything to make sure she never works a single job again in her life.She selected a body fitted red armless gown, stopping just abo
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 57: AMBER
“Thank you so much for the ride, I'm truly grateful,” she searched through her purse for a hundred dollar bill. “It's okay madam, you can just go,” the driver blushed. “You don't know what it means to carry the only heir of Sir McQueen.”“Oh that's so nice of you,” she cooed, thinking of ways to repay his kindness. An idea quickly struck her head. “Give me your business card, so I could call you in case I have a bigger project.”“Thank you so much ma'am,” he dipped his hand into his jacket and produced a card for her.She reached for it and kept it in her bag as she dropped. She waved till the driver was out of sight.“Phew,” she sighed. “That wasn't what I expected.”The smaller gate was left open, Cara wondered where Amber would have gone. But then she noticed a different car parked beside the house. Her fear rose, was Amber and her child in danger? She locked the gate and hastened her steps but reduced it when she saw Mason sitting outside and helping himself to a glass of orange
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 56: PICK YOUR POISON
He pushed the door open and saw another woman, looking almost like Cynthia arguing with her. Same stature, just a little bit taller and fairer. They both looked like clowns, they were still bickering with each other. Their makeup was still smeared all over their faces.“Oh Cara,” he muttered, laughing inwardly. He was definitely having a good laugh already.Both women had not noticed his presence, their hairs were cut in irregular shape and he could tell the other woman was bitter about it. Cynthia had enough, more than enough to get whatever wigs she wanted. Weirdly as it may seem, he still had her on a monthly allowance.“You ladies are fine?” He wore a mocking smile on his face as they turned gradually to face him.“Oh great, look who it is. You decided to come here after a while,” Cynthia's voice reeked of sarcasm. “I guess the bitch had run her mouth to you and that had you running here immediately.”He found his way to a place in the room, laughing. “I see you don't learn Cynth
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 55: FATHER-SON MOMENT
'My sincerest apologies to those who have come so far with me on this journey and to those who are still discovering my book. I'm so sorry for taking so much time away. I'm an engineering student in my penultimate year, that is one of the main reason for my absence. I'm here now and I promise to conclude this wonderful journey you have embarked on with me. Once again, I deeply apologize to everyone🙏🏼."Jason adjusted his suit and swallowed a big bowl of air in front of his dad's office. Being nervous was an understatement yet it was something he had to do. Cara was right about everything she said.Inasmuch as his father wronged him, it was only his duty to forgive him. They carry too much burden.He rasped his knuckles against the wooden door and knocked once. Without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open.“Hey old man, good morning,” that was the first set of words that left his mouth. Not exactly as he planned it in his head but that will do still. Jackson's head was be
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 54: CARA'S TRUE COLOR
She helped him arrange his suitcase, and fixed his tie. “I know it's going to be hard but remember that I'm here to help you.”She tiptoed and leaned in to place a kiss on his lips. Before she could draw away, he wrapped his arms around her waist, dragging her back and deepening the kiss.“I love you so much Cara Pierce. I can never get tired of saying it, just know that,” he said, brushing the strands of hair coming to her face to the back of her ear. His gesture alone earned a blush from her.“Let me walk you to the door, I have a lot of things to do as soon as you leave,” she said.“Things like?”“I need to get Mason's room ready, he needs to be home with us by next week.”“Oh that's true, I wish I could stay to help you out.”“It's no problem, I can handle it all by myself,” she accompanied her words with a small beautiful smile. Enough to melt any man's anger.“I can't wait to see my little man again.”“Me too, I missed my baby so much.”Leaning on the door frame, she watched him
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 53: PLEASE, RECONCILE
Jason munched on his food quietly, releasing small hmmms as a way to compliment his wife's food.“This is really good honey, l think I need to increase your allowance,” he teased.“Very funny Jason," she rolled at eyes at him. "Have you forgotten that I'm a billionaire too?”“Doesn't matter, your money is your money. My money is our money.”“That's sweet of you,” she smiled.He helped himself to a glass of water. “You said we needed to talk about something important?”Her demeanor changed to a very calm one. Dropping her fork, she forced out a smile to ease the atmosphere for whatever she was about to say.“You good, honey?” He asked, wearing a faint genuine smile on his lips.“Well, it's just that, have you thought about fixing things between you and your dad?”The sudden question cleared away any form of emotion on his face.“Is that what you want to talk about?”She pursed her lips and nodded her head gently.“It's a man's thing, we'll figure it out,” he said, returning his attenti
BILLIONAIRE'S ONLY LOVE CHAPTER 52: A PIECE OF HEAVEN
Cara set the table for dinner, hoping to talk to him about his old man while they ate.The front door opened and walking in, was a tired Jason, she excused herself from the dining table and met him with a kiss.“How was today at work?” She reached for his suitcase and led him to the sofa.“Tiring, really tiring.”She helped him with his tie and his suit jacket. Underneath, his white shirt was drenched in sweat.“Is the air-conditioner not working? Why are you drenched in sweat?”“You can ask the same, I have no idea,” he threw his head back and a long form of sigh escaped from his lips.She unbuttoned his shirt and he was left in his singlet. “Go take a shower while I finish setting the table.”Trying to get back to work, a pair of strong hands scooped her away from the floor suddenly. Yelping out loud, she hit him on the chest, playfully.“Christ, Jason, what was that for? Aren't you tired?”“Yes I am, but I can never be too tired for the most beautiful woman in the world,” he threw
