Forty eight: My Love.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The moon shone so bright tonight, being a little source of light in the balcony of Seth's hotel room. I turned to Seth who laid beside me on this long, love-shaped bed, smiled at him. The dim light on the ceiling of this balcony, outlined his pointed nose, striked on his lips, making the small smile on his lips visible. Seeing him smile, I smiled even more.
Due to the fun we had had today, I had fallen for him even more. At this point, I was starting to wish that our relationship would last forever. I fully knew that good things never lasted for too long, but seriously, this good relationship needed to last for long. It was really making me happy.
"Why are you smiling?" I took his hand, intertwined our fingers in each other.
He squirmed his neck to look at me. "Cause I'm happy. Haven't had this great amount of fun in a while."
"Me too." I pecked the back of his hand.

Celina•••••••••This was getting too hard for me. This was ruining my emotional sense. This was affecting my mental health.I stared at the glass of Scotch in my hand, smirked at it because I didn't want to cry. Tears were in my eyes, but I wasn't going to cry. Yes, this was an obsession, but who cared?My life was getting miserable. He had been gone for three days, but hadn't taken time to send me a call. About four or five months ago, he had paid attention to no one but me. He had never lived a day without speaking with me.Enraged, feeling like stabbing something or someone, I threw my glass of Scotch against the floor, leaped from my seat, panting hard like an angry lion.Of course, this wasn't the first time Seth would be with a woman, but this time around, he had truly fallen for her. If he hadn't truly

Erin•••••It was time for another trekking adventure. This was day three, and all through this camping, I had been having so much fun. Oh, well, not as much fun as I had expected, which was because Jerome felt some kind of hatred for Fred, and had been kind of acting weirdly towards him. Well, did I care? No, I didn't. Or, maybe I did.The moment we all scattered into our routes, I took a deep breath. I was a bit nervous. First, being alone with Fred wasn't as comfortable as I had thought it would be. Second, from time to time, I had been catching a glimpse of Jerome. How weird was it to stay in the same environment with my ex-boyfriend and the man I liked?When I noticed Jerome walking towards Fred and I, I cleared my throat, raised my neck up to look at the tall trees above our heads. "This route seems more pretty than the previous ones," I

Louella••••••••••Seth pecked my neck from behind. Like always, I shivered at his touch. It was always nice when my body reacted this way. That was proof that I liked my great attraction towards him."Did you enjoy your food?" He asked.I giggled when his breath hitched the helix of my ear. "Kind of. But, um, the steak wasn't enough.""You like meat a lot?" He inquired.I nodded. "Sort of. As long as it's got little fat, I'm okay with it. Fat's pretty dangerous to one's health."He curled his arms around me, exhaled. "So, what should we do today? Go to the beach?""Hm… nice suggestion. But, um, I'd prefer we went to the amusement park or something." I pursed my lips, fretting my eyelashes."You th

In a way, this felt so much like a nightmare. The fact he was seated on my chair, wasn't supposed to be a big deal. But, I knew that once his ass touched that chair, he was going to get what he wanted.It felt so hard to breath. I felt like weeping, but was definitely not going to do that in front of them. I was confident. I was strong. I was the greater one. And yes, I was Louellal.I couldn't keep standing here. I wasn't a coward.Petrified, yet being a fearless ass, I sauntered towards the table. "You're back?" I asked, fury and fear lingering in my tone."If you say so." He crossed his legs over each other, smirking devilishly at me. "But, left to me, I won't say I'm back. Cause, I've always been here.""Mr. Warren." I scoffed. My arms linked on my chest, my legs getting weak as I stepped closer to the table. "Bad to see you again, sir. So, may I know

Probably because of how I had scolded Rachel yesterday, she hardly said anything to me. She looked kind of weary. She really never wore heavy makeup, but at least, she'd wear a little. But now, she wasn't wearing any makeup. She only looked so, so depressed. I hoped I hadn't done something really terrible to her."Are the files complete?" I didn't want her to notice I was staring at her, so I just turned to my laptop."Yes, they are." Her voice was low. Jeez, what was happening to her?I was kind of worried, but if I apologized to her or asked her what was wrong with her, she'd feel too important. That wasn't a bad thing, but well, I needed her to know she was like the other workers.I sighed. "Okay. So, send the other files as soon as possible.""Okay." She still wasn't staring at me. She looked extremely depressed.I guessed I
BILLIONAIRES Fifty four: Jealous?
I felt so devastated. I knew something wasn't right about him, but I wouldn't have expected that he would work with Becca, and plan to ruin me. What had I done to him?"But, how did you go about it? Cause, as far as I know, it's really hard to fool Louella. And, um, did you do it just to keep your ego or what? Cause, I still don't get why you'll do this," Becca queried.He laughed. "At first, all I had wanted was to get close to her, so she'd work with me. As we all know, she's very brilliant. But then, I also realized she was so egoistic. To prove that I'm the hotter one, I decided to trap her. I managed to get her to like me.""Hm… guess you're the smarter and hotter one indeed." She giggled.I rolled my hands up in a fist, feeling extremely hurt. My legs felt weak, my body felt weak, I felt weak. If I was in stiletto or scarpin shoes, I would have thrown it against their forehea

Louella••••••••••Goodness knew why Erin was here. I had told her to leave because I needed to stay alone, and think of the next step to take in my life. After that devastating betrayal from Seth, all I wanted to do was to work. Nothing else.Erin took a piece of the pizza she had in her plate, ate it, and did the "yum-yum" sound as she chewed it hard, probably trying to get my attention.I rolled my eyes. "Can you just leave? I'm sorry. I don't wanna seem rude, but seriously, I don't feel like having anyone here.""Have you really been doubting Seth?" She asked.I gave her a sideways glance, resumed arranging my bed. "Yeah, duh. I said it already. Why asking again?""I don't think that's nice." She grabbed the stool beside the bed, sat

Erin•••••Here was my bestie, speaking about her sweet love life. And here I was, having a terrible love story. It wasn't like I was jealous of her or something. It was just that, I felt kind of bad. At this point, I was feeling so lonely. It seemed like I wasn't destined to be loved."And so, we kissed," Louella announced."Hm?" I blinked like I was confused. Oh, I had literally trailed off.She smiled widely, hopped from the counter, and ambled to the dining table. "I'm really glad I didn't overreact. Things could've gotten really bad for us. You're right. Being patient is really good.""Yeah, it's good." I laughed weirdly.She sighed. "So, um, I wanted to ask, how's your health?""Good, I guess." I wiped off the tiny dough of bread on the counter in Louella's kitchen, washed my hands a

The entire hall was silent. There was no doubt that everyone present in the great crowd in front of me, was in awe, feeling the intensity of the words I was speaking. I smiled a little, pacing around the stage. I stood behind the podium, and cleared my throat. "Now, this goes to the younger women in here." My hands settled on the podium, my shoulders raised proudly. "You see, people still tend to underestimate the power you have. But, I have good news for you. You're capable. What a man can do, you can also do. It's only about the mindset. Anyone can become successful. Don’t let anyone intimidate you." "Yeah," someone from the crowd agreed. I just smiled. They concentrated so much, as if their lives depended on my words. I continued, "Many ladies have lost

Seth laughed at me as I groaned and acted like a child. That was pretty annoying, but well, how could an adult be so scared to take an injection? I hated that thing so, so much.The doctor finally got rid of the syringe, and took care of the injected part of my skin. As soon as he was done with that, he arranged his box, and stood up. I kept squeezing my face like a crying child.He cleared his throat, and started, "Mrs. Lee, you're good to go for your trip. After all the tests we've done, I can confidently tell you that your body system is back to normal. The effects of the poison are completely diminished."I finally smiled. "That's good news. Thanks."Seth held my hand as he sat beside me. "Thanks, do
BILLIONAIRES Eight eight: Start All Over
I sobbed. The pain I was feeling obviously wasn't as crazy as hers, but it felt like mine was worse. She gaped, groans leaving her mouth. Her lips quivered, quite obvious that she wanted to say something. Blood kept gushing out from the left side of her chest, as well as her mouth. Tears left her eyes, the gun dropping from her hand. Her body shook, seeming as if she'd lose her stability soon.I was shocked. Being shocked was an understatement.She was battling to live; battling to save herself.Alarmed, I cried, "Celina!" The moment I attempted to grip her arm, her body impelled backwards. Her legs tripped over each other, and like a weak mango tree, she fell off the cliff.Seeing that, my heart s

The beam of the rising sun shone against my eyes, making me blink slowly. I yawned, the sore pain in my head becoming quite worse. Trying to sit up, I noticed how uncomfortable I was, my hands and legs feeling stuck to something. It took a while for me to open my eyes, and to even notice all that was going on around me. The moment I realized where I was and what was happening, I gasped. I tried sitting straight on this old, dusty floor, and also tried moving away from the ray of the sun which was attacking my eyes. I looked down at my legs which were tied, struggling to help myself out of this bandage. This was already a new day, yet I was still not seen by the police. Were Becca and Celina stronger than them or what? But, I could not remain here, right? If they weren't going to come and get me, it seemed like I would have

I knew I was supposed to run over to him, and cuddled him crazily. Instead, all I was doing was to stare at him. I was really happy. To be honest, in the past few days, I had missed him a lot. There was really no point in denying that."Seth." Gently, I walked over to him, giving him a small smile. He was also smiling, but wasn't saying anything.He cupped my jaw when I reached him. "Sweetie, where have you been?" And pecked my cheek."Gosh, I've missed you." A tear left my eye. What was making me emotional? In such a terrifying situation?He leaned close, hugged me, pecked my forehead. "Oh yes, I've missed you too.""This is really hard for us." I returned his hug, weeping on his chest. "Becca and Celina are doing all this. They really want to have me killed. They're taking it too far.""I know it all. And, most of all, I'm glad you have no
BILLIONAIRES Eighty five: My Seth.
Louella••••••••••I packed the last set of files into my backpack, ready to head out. Spotting a red file on my table, I narrowed my eyes at it, and grabbed it. The moment I skimmed through it, I couldn't help but gape. How in the world had I almost forgotten such an important file? This was the most needed file of all the files I had taken from here.I kept the file in my backpack, slung the backpack over my shoulder. I took a glance at my wrist watch, feeling a bit disturbed and puzzled. I had to leave here soon, before anyone would see me. If Seth had to come now, there was no doubt that he wouldn't want me to leave.First, I had to ensure that I was set to leave here. Once I got back to the beach house, since my phone was already turned on, I would book a flight online, and leave the country for a few months. In the meantime, I would ensure that I

Celina••••••••Becca's complaint was getting too annoying. Why was it so hard for her to understand that we only needed to be as patient as possible? It wasn't as if I wasn't trying my best. Here she was, complaining about her father's betrayal, while I was here, thinking of how to get Seth attracted to me.Days had passed, yet Seth wasn't willing to be close to me. I had gone to his office, and had apologized to me. Yes, he had said he forgave me, but how was I supposed to believe that if he hadn't even called or texted me? It just seemed like my effort to get him was nothing but a waste."Where the heck is Rita?!" Becca barked, smashed her phone against the floor, breathing hard like an insane dog.I rolled my eyes. "Girl, chill. She'll be back soon. I only asked her to grab some files from Louella's office. If we find Louella before
BILLIONAIRES Eighty three: Up To Me
Seth••••••I wasn't feeling so well. Before Louella had come into my life, all I had been doing was to work. But, now that she had gone, it was really hard to work without her. This was so upsetting.Indeed, you only missed your lover when you let her go. To worsen all this, no one knew where she was. I had called her, had texted her, hard searched for her, but it was all to no avail. Maybe I had to file a missing report at the police station. This was too frustrating for me.Dayla walked into my office, a couple of files tugged to her chest. When she dropped the files on my table, she stood in front of the table like a mango tree, looking down.I wiggled a brow at her. "Hey, you need something? Why stand there?""Oh, sorry. I was a bit lost." She laughed weirdly. "Um, someone's here to see you. She says her name is Rita."
BILLIONAIRES Eighty two: Goodbye.
Louella••••••••••Staring up at the hazy sky of the evening, seated on the small stool on the porch of this old beach house, I sighed hard. I felt a heavy pain in my chest, feeling the need to cough hard. I knew I was supposed to begin my treatments, but how would I do that when I wasn't willing to go back home?It had been days since I saw anyone. After I had left Seth, I had decided to come to this beach house. This was a place Dad, mom and I used to have a vacation, just before Jan and Becca had come into our lives. Though the place gave me bad memories, I really still liked coming here. It was always filled with serenity.I stared down at my shaky fingers, felt really bad for myself. I didn't know the decision to make. Was I really going to let myself die?In a few days, I would run out of food. I had had some money in my
