Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 49: Waiting
"So, what's our plan for today? I think the cleaning will not last longer so we can go outside after an hour or two, I am just waiting for Gray's call. He said he will call me when it's all set, we should do something while they are in a meeting. Right?" Haria asked me while we are having our breakfast. My eyes did not lose sight on those gummy bears Haria put above the table. I know that is not just a gummy bear but there is more than that I can't explain. He told her not to forget to eat those, so there is something on it and Giovanni won't just give us something that doesn't mean anything. And my head is already aching just by thinking about those innocent gummy bears above the table.My head turned to Haria and looked at her when I heard her question. I guess she doesn't have an idea what is happening outside now, and it's better for her not to know about it, not yet. I am sure Gray will definitely tell her about that thing when it's done, so she doesn't have anything to worry afte
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 50: Coming Out
"Argh. I want to go outside," Haria after two hours finally complained about waiting for them to call. It's been two hours but they aren't still telling us something. Even Giovanni did not text me."Let's wait for another hour," I told her. I won't let her go outside too. She lay in her bed and took her phone and her headphones and started scrolling down on it. "Fine."I decided to go outside the room to go to the kitchen and drink something, but after doing so, I walked towards the door. I put my ears on it to hear what's happening outside but I can't hear anything, it seems so quiet. Where are they now? Did the meeting start?I sighed and was about to take my ears off when I heard footsteps, but unlike earlier, it's not a heavy step. It's like the person was just walking around without an intent to scare someone. The steps suddenly stopped and I don't know what it is doing now. I just waited for it to start moving again, but it did not.I jumped in nervousness when someone knocked o
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 51: Heart Matters
"I did not know that you two are friends. Thanks to that, I don't need to please this man a little more than I should." Gray's father joked while we were sitting around the table. Gray laughed at his Dad, Uncle Garmon."Dad, I didn't even know at first that you would be meeting him." Gray told him.Uncle Garmon laughed and poured wine on his glass. His eyes then landed at me. "Ariadne, beautiful lady. How come you don't have a lover yet?" He asked. I already met Uncle a few times and he is always asking me that question, and the answer is always the same too."I still don't have time for that, Uncle." I told him. I really don't have one since I still need to focus on myself and building my career. I still have time, there is no need to rush though. I was always being asked the same question, they can't believe that I don't have a boyfriend or when I said I never had one. I am still pure and innocent at those kinds of things and if I will, I need to make sure that the man I will be with
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 52: Bring It Back
I closed my eyes as I felt the cold air from the beach. It was still the same as when we first went here, I could tell that I would wish to be back in this place, however the thing that makes me afraid are the people who were staying here, especially the staff. I haven't met or seen, or even heard a news from anyone or to Giovanni that those people who were plotting a plan to kill us were caught by the police.I am still conscious about my surroundings because of it. Giovanni knew that I was aware of what was happening earlier, but he did not even tell me a thing about it. I am not only scared about myself but for the people with me. They could have been hurt.I sighed on the thought that I will see those people suffering or worse dying in front of me, even the thought of it can kill me."Hey," I turned around when I heard someone on my back. I smiled when I saw Gray. "Where's Haria?" I asked him. He pointed at the hotel, maybe she was having a little talk to her future father-in-law.
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 53: Small Reunion
"Let's go?" I asked Haria, who seems like doesn't want to go back to the city yet. Well, I am too but we need to go now. The two guys were already waiting for us outside. Uncle Garmon left an hour ago since he still needed to go somewhere else to meet someone. I don't want to go but I am eager to leave for the reason I don't want to think about anymore, we are leaving this place anyway. "Ah, I don't want to go back yet!" She said and growled. She was just sitting on the couch and didn't want to stand up. I already took our bags here and I am just telling her that we should go now. It's been 20 minutes and she still won't."We will have time for a rest again, let's try something new when that time comes." I told her, I always do this to her, telling her a future plan so she would be interested in leaving right away and do the plan I was saying. It's sometimes work and I hope it will at this time.Her face lightens and there is a smile on her face. She pouted and looked around first be
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 54: Quick Glance
"Hello, Chanty." She went near me and gave me a hug. I was shocked at first because almost all of the customers were looking at us. I just hugged her back and patted her back. Well, I won't deny that I also missed her. It's been a month since I last saw this girl."What's up? Is anything good?" I asked. She gave me her silly smile and then looked at the counter where Nicko was. I don't get it, but Nicko was looking at me. I just smiled at him. He nodded his head and waved his hands a bit while doing something there. He is not a guard anymore, well, he is not really one but a substitute when the original one is out of vacation. He volunteered to do that in a week and when I came here I thought he was the guard who is in charge here. Now, he looks good in his uniform. Originally, he was one of the chefs. "The chef is back in the kitchen. And guess what? He is giving me free food now," she said, which made me laugh. This girl is really interested in food, that's why her cheeks were so cu
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 55: Small Fight
"My stomach hurts! I am so full!" Haria yelled. The other customers glanced at us because of her loud voice. "I was not mistaken, they were all sooo good!" She added."Hey, lower down your voice." Gray stopped her. She just rolled her eyes then faced me."You liked them?" She asked.I smiled and nodded my head. Even me, I can't stand it yet since my stomach seems to explode once I do. "Of course, I do." I told her. Giovanni ate a small amount of food, well, I did not see him eat so much. Maybe he was just so conscious about his body and he doesn't want to eat so much or he will be bloated. I never saw him exercise also, I wonder how many hours he takes doing that. I am being curious about this man and it's making me sick. "Hey, Giovanni. Are you still going to work today?" Haria then faced Giovanni and asked him. Giovanni looked at her with his cold eyes. "Yes." He said without any hesitation.Haria frowned. "Aren't you getting tired?" She asked. Gray held her hands that was above
Billionaire's Desire CHAPTER 56: Reunited
Once we are done eating, Giovanni went inside the restaurant, on his office specifically to discuss some things with Ms. Georgia. I haven't seen her again since I did not get the chance to go here because of my busy schedule being the secretary of her boss in his own company. I want to greet her but it seems like she will not go outside her office until her duty is done."Ariadne, let's go there." Haria poke my arms when she wants to say something so I looked at what she was pointing at. She's telling me that we should go inside the mini garden inside this restaurant. I smiled and nodded at her, they created this for the customers to feel relaxed inside the venue. It's so nice here, and we really get to enjoy the view. "Wow, the flowers are so beautiful even though they are not taking a lot of sunlight now since it's becoming a rainy season." Haria said while she was admiring those beautiful flowers, they indeed are. "Yes, but they are getting the care they need though. The staff here

"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
