Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 22: Cravings
Maybe I was just hallucinating, I still have an empty stomach and it's starting to hurt. I want something to eat but I am still in his car. If I am not, maybe I could grab some street foods, my favorite. Giovanni looked in my direction while my eyes were wandering outside, looking for some stall where I could buy street food but it's an unlucky day for me as I can't see anything here. Seeing him do that, I quickly turned my face to him and saw his frowning face. "What are you looking for?" He asked me. "Street food stalls, I want to eat. Maybe you can drop me off there. I promise not to be late for later." I told him. I can't ask him to eat at that place since I know he will never do that. This man beside me is food conscious, and he will not risk his health for that kind of food. He is lucky he is rich and can afford anything in life but he never experienced eating the real delicious foods, and that was the thing he lacked. "It's dirty, let's just eat somewhere else." He told m
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 23: Invitation
"Oh my! This is so scary!" One of the customers shouted while others were still busy looking at the part where the waitress could possibly be hurt. I was about to stand up to see what happened but Giovanni stopped me by holding my hand. I looked at him with a confused face, and he was so chill."Why? I want to see it," I told him but he just looked at me as if it was something that I didn't need to worry about. But I am, we are the last person she was about to serve before the accident and it might be concerning us or worse, we can be one of the suspects. Okay, I know I am overthinking too much because of the books I have read but who knows. We can't control things, especially me."Just don't mess with the accident, let the police manage this thing. Let's go and find some new restaurant, I guess the food will not come anymore." Giovanni said before leaving his seat. I look at him, I don't want to go yet."There is an explosion of the wine she held, and we don't know the reason and how
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 24: Trapped
I took a deep breath as I stared at the entrance of this big building, in just a few steps I could already reach the door. The memories I tried to hide keep on flashing in my mind. I felt so helpless at that time. I am weak, and easy to fool. I trusted too much and that led me to an unforgettable event of my life. I bit my lips as I closed my eyes when I felt someone behind me, I knew it was him. It was Giovanni who took me here. I really don't want to, but because this is part of my work and I am more conscious about what might happen now, I need to face my fear. Giovanni has nothing to do with that, well he has.I did not tell him what happened at that time. But he knew I knew this place. It was him I bumped into, that is why I met him. But I don't have any plan to tell him what I experienced in this place. I don't want to be a burden, he is here for business. And they will surely get mad at me once I mess this up again. I already learned my lesson."Why are you not coming in? Let's
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 25: Tricked
Giovanni was becoming more open about his thoughts nowadays but once he did, it can make me shiver. His words are not usual. It feels like he was getting it from experiences. A man full of mysteries.I nodded my head while holding the coffee I just suspected. Maybe it was not the coffee whom I needed to be afraid of. Maybe it was not the person who served it on the table. Maybe it was not the day and the place. But those people who's behind it.While my mind is flying on the place I could not even reach. The door suddenly opened that made my thoughts bring me back to the current situation where I am.I tilted my head and looked at the door, then there I saw a man who's in his 30's smiling while going inside. It's Mr. Quinton, the one we will be meeting today. He has a toned body, I can see it even though he is wearing a tuxedo. His eyes landed directly at Giovanni, and his smile did not fade. I stood up along with Giovanni and bowed my head a little as he shook hands with him. I raised
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 26: Champagne and Cigarette
I hugged myself as I felt the cold breeze coming through my body. If I just knew that we would go here, I should have brought me some jacket.I thought we were heading back home after the meeting but it seems like this man has another plan."What are we going to do here?" I asked him. The midnight is coming, and the road is clean, though there are still some vehicles passing by. But we are here beside it as if waiting for something. The car was parked a bit far from us. On the other side of the road I can see a 24/7 porridge store in front of us, there is a woman cleaning the tables and there are some customers eating there. Giovanni keeps on looking at his phone. Who's the one he is waiting for? I don't have any idea why we went here, and why we are still here."Do you want to go home now?" He asked, maybe noticed that I was confused. I rolled my eyes. I am dying to lay on my bed. I am so tired. But I can't say no to him, although this day is my day off. He already got it, so better
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 27: Coffee
Whenever I am thinking about that night, it still gives me creeps. He did what he said, he took me home after that creepy man walks away. We never had a talk after that. Haria kept on asking me what happened, and because she will not let me sleep, I told her what happened and she was worried about me. I looked at this man in front of me who was doing some work on his laptop and thought of something. Since I met him, my world has become a creepy place to live in. Well, I am not saying that it's his fault that my father treated me that way, it was a family problem but this man is different. Also the lunatic man who tried to take advantage of me. There are many people who made my life like a living hell. The moment we laid eyes on each other, many things happened to me. I am just lucky that I did not get hurt and I am not waiting for that to happen to me though.I shook my head and looked back at the monitor in front of me. I should not be blaming this man for all the bad things happen
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 28: Ghost
Giovanni? It should be him, or someone who left something here on this floor. I hope this person is true now.However, my mind's saying and hoping that person to be him, to be Giovanni."Hey? Is there someone out there? Please help me! I have been locked up here in the stock room! Help! Hello? Please! Take me out of here!" I did all my best to make that a best shot and take the attention of whoever that person was. I clearly heard footsteps so there must be someone. It took a few minutes but there was no response, I was losing control until I could not take it anymore and cried. I bit my lips to suppress the noise I was making. In the end, I am still that little girl, Ariadne who was fond of tears, who liked crying whenever she was hurt. I thought because of the things that happened to me, I can manage to have the courage to fight these tears and not let other people see my weak side anymore. I had been through many experiences that can make me strong but still, I remained a crybaby.
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 29: Caught In His Arms
"Ariadne, are you still awake? Don't panic. We will get you out of there. Please step away for a moment." I thought he had not come back yet. Giovanni did not even say a word to me after a while of waiting for Manong Evan and I thought he just left me here. I can't do anything just to sit here and wait. Because I know they will come and save me. I need to trust them this time."Thank you, Manong Evan." I said before following what he said. I don't know if Giovanni is still here, but I hope he was.After I walked away from the door, I heard a banging sound outside of the stock room, he was already breaking the chain. I can hear the sound of it. Who is the person who needs to lock me here? I waited until the chain broke successfully, and as soon as the door opened I saw his face. Giovanni's face who was just waiting for what would happen. The moment I got released, I can't help but to have teary eyes once again. I thought I would stay inside until tomorrow."You are safe now." Giovanni

"Stop imagining things," Nix said. Alyana gave him a frown. It's been 30 minutes since they last talked to each other, and they were already in the living area watching movies. After she asked the question a while ago, Nix just left her standing there."You are creepy," she said to Nix."What?""You are suddenly saying something there, it's creepy." Alyana took the blanket to cover herself."Are you saying your boss is creepy?" Nix asked, making Alyana immediately look at him."No sir," she quickly said and focused herself on what they were watching. She then heard Nix sighed beside her so she took a glance at him.'Is he sleepy? Or he just really had many problems in life?'' she thought."Do you like what you are seeing?" Nix asked her, she didn't realize that she's already staring at his face. "No sir," she said, however, it made Nix glare at her. How dare she say that to her boss. "Really?" Nix asked and slowly went near her. She closes her eyes, and shakes her head."No sir."Ni
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 118: Vanity
"I already told you, Pebble is just my friend." A man who was in a tuxedo said while entering the office. He looked at the two people inside the room and smiled at them before putting the phone beside his ear again. "I will just call you later baby, don't forget to wear the dress I bought you for tonight. Yes, yes I will surely be early so be prepared," he added while grinning."Stop talking about your women when you are already in my office." Nix straightly said."Whoa, whoa, you are so hot headed. What happened to you bro? I just got back from seeing those ugly faces and you will welcome me with that attitude? How could you?" Zach, who had just entered the room, said while putting down the suitcase he was holding. "The files." Nix lends his hand to him, waiting for something nice he could give. Zach smirked at him and took something in the case, then gave him the papers he was asking. Zach's attention diverted to the girl who was busy scanning some papers and poked her using the pe
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 117: Calling
"He hasn't woken up yet? Is what happened to him really that horrible that he hasn't woken up until now?" Jake inquired as they entered the room where the man they had discovered in the woods the day before lay. It's also been two days since they discovered this man unconscious, and he hasn't awoken yet. His wounds have healed, and he is recovering slowly."It seems that the bed is too soft so he just chose to sleep for a long time rather than answer the questions we prepared for him." Hunter was still joking while reading a book. He grinned and looked at everyone in the room. Their boss' three daughters are complete. Steel is also there, taking a glimpse at Ivory when he has the opportunity.'Tsk. It's really obvious if this man likes a woman, but he is so afraid to face Ivy's blow. Maybe, Ivy doesn't want that kind of man like him so until now she's still refusing his love. He is strong outside however, he's really a coward. If I were a woman I wouldn't even want to be with him too,
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 116: Reasons to fight
Andrius smirked as he saw his daughters return from their search for their belongings. He realizes they are perplexed by what he is doing, but he believes it will benefit his girls in the future. He had considered taking them to the location they desired while they were still in his office, but after hearing the plan, he decided a thing that he was the only one who knew and that was to put them to the test.Vanessa sat next to him on a rock, breathless and barely able to communicate due to exhaustion. Next to her are Andrius' other two daughters, whose expressions now demand an explanation."We knew it, but why did you keep it hidden?" Ashleigh said to Andrius, who chuckled when he heard it."Dear daughters," he said, motioning them to sit on the grass first, which they did. "I am curious to see if you will return once you realize I am the one who is behind it, but I notice you still tried to find it on your own," Andrius explained. Despite their confusion, the triplets pay attention
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 115: Going Back
"Try to hurt him more and I will rip your head out of your body." Hunter, even though he is in pain, still heard what Ashleigh said. Her eyes glaring at the man holding Hunter's neck. "Really? You will do that?" The tension between all of them began to rise more as he tightened it, causing Hunter to spit some blood on his mouth. "S-Stop…" he can't even speak properly, his eyes began to wet and his vision was now a bit blurry. "I-I can't b-breathe!" He tried to yell but it seemed like his voice was now out of his control. Demon, it's the true demon, he thought. He is now under the strength of a ruthless demon in the place."Your fear, ugh. I can feel it, I know you are born for me. Your soul, I want it mine. You are making me stronger, I think I need to thank you for that."One thing he is not sure about is when he saw his teeth turning into an odd one. The structure of his face started changing too. That was the thing that most terrified Hunter more. One more tight grip, he can b
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 114: Four Months
I hope they will find Echo's mother.My attention got diverted when I heard a knock from the door. It quickly opened and there I saw my sisters faces, along with Steel and Hunter, but I am confused why Dominus isn't with them, also as Jake but that person can sometimes be busy."Are you feeling well? Dr. Nigel already told us what the problem is with you too." Ashleigh asked me once they went inside, she sat beside me while looking at Echo. "I am just fine. I want to go with you on finding his mother but Dr. Nigel told me not to. He has only 2 days and the poison will definitely take his life." She was nodding her head when she took my hand and held it. I saw a small hole in it, maybe it's from the needle they used when she got taken some blood from her body to give to me. "Don't worry, we will do our best to find her. All you need to do now is to rest and be safe. Also, follow all what Nigel will tell you. It's for your own good, understand?" I chuckled because of it. She is now a
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 113: Hostile
"He woke up earlier and he was looking for you, especially his mother but it didn't last for five minutes and he slept again. There is something we need to take out of his skin. It needs an operation, but we can't do that here. We need his parents to take responsibility." Dr. Nigel said to me once I reached the medical department, Dominus guided me to one of the rooms where Echo was admitted, after that he left the room, saying that he will look for Hunter. I just let him though, I don't have a reason not to.Echo is still unconscious, I don't know what's happening to him and needs Dr. Nigel's explanation."And I found out this." He showed me the result of something, then there I saw my name. Why is my name here? I didn't do any tests for me, I can't remember it."What does this mean?" I asked, confused by what he was trying to say to me about the results. He sighed before telling me the thing I didn't expect."Your blood contains a poison, same as Echo but he is more likely to lead a
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 112: Lucky Star
It's been a few hours since we arrived at this location, and we've done everything we can to make the females feel at ease. All of them need to be tested first before letting them go, Sir Andrius told us that those who don't have families will be given a shelter.I adore him that much. The help doesn't end there. He still cares for the women and he wants them to somehow forget what happened to them. I also want that to happen. I am worried about their situation, I already experienced things similar to them. The time when I thought there would never be sunlight to light my world again, but here I am.I saw the triplets together with Jake and Steel, contacting those people who might help us. I can't help but to be glad looking at them, just by observing what they are doing. I am already getting satisfied with the actions. They are true leaders.I sighed and turned my gaze at Hunter. He was already tired that Dr. Malea told him to sleep for a while. I saw how she proudly looked at her s
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 111: Losing Game
An unfamiliar voice asked behind us. I decided not to turn around as I can feel a threat in their presence. It was that person, or maybe them whom I felt earlier. And I am sure they are like me. "Oh, the three guards. We saw each other again." Vanessa said in response to them. Did they know those guys? How and where? Maybe because they are part of this organization, their opponent. But do they know their real identity?"It's you." One of them spoke, he had a deep voice compared to the one who asked first. "I won't forget what you did to us the first time we met each other. However, it's your lucky day since we aren't here to fight any Dark Phoenix but we will promise to make you pay for what you have done when we see each other again." He continued, I kept my back to them. If I show my face, will they know or recognize me? I guess not but I need to be sure. I know there are many people hunting me now. They need to take me back to that place. But I don't want that to happen, so I need
