Billionaire's Marriage Bid (English) CHAPTER 26
“DON’T you think it’s immature for you to do?” Austin couldn’t hold himself to reprimand Devance. They were occupying the suite beside Triana and Caleb’s room.“Can’t you see it’s fun?” Devance clicked his tongue. He leaned his back on the cream-colored leather couch. Devance found everything hilarious, and there was nothing wrong with what he had done. He knew Caleb and Triana missed each other so much. Making fun of them was something he loved to do.He planned everything since he was still on the plane; he brought flowers outside the airport, and upon reaching the hotel, Devance called the room service to give a special breakfast to the next room. He just gave specific instructions and time intervals. Even the monk was his accomplice. Of course, Austin had a point. This was immature. But he enjoyed annoying her off.Devance was silently laughing as he imagined Triana’s pissed-off face. But he couldn’t hide how worried he was about the incident the other day. He admired her strong

AT DINNERTIME, Devance and Austin ate together with the three women they met at the tour in the Tiger’s Nest earlier. They learned that the girls were from Australia. It appeared they were getting itchy to warm their beds in private.“Aren’t you going to do something to disturb the couple again?” Austin suddenly asked while they were eating. He only started talking when the women excused themselves to retouch their make-up in the ladies’ room.Devance only shrugged. “Nope, I was just making fun earlier. I want to respect their privacy as long as Tri is happy. She deserves it.”“I see,” Austin nodded. “A lot of things happen when you’re away, Austin. I almost killed a man.” Devance suddenly remembered the night when Xavier forced Triana. And no words could appease his anger until now.Austin’s face beamed with interest. He hadn’t told him yet about the incident.“Why, what happened?” Austin sounded concerned. “Xavier, that bastard, came to Triana’s room in the middle of the night….”

“I’M SORRY, darling.” Triana was teary-eyed as she glanced at Caleb. They immediately went back to the hotel because Akhil had called her. He asked where they were at the moment. As if making sure that she was with Devance.“No need to be sorry. You know I always understand you. Somehow, I’ve predicted this will happen once you get married. And I settled with it, right? I’m happy at least we’re together even for two days.” Caleb embraced her tight. He helped her pack her things after a while.Triana bit her lower lip when everything was ready. Sadness clouded her heart. She didn’t know when to see him again. She knew Caleb was a very busy man, and he would always make time for her. Just like now, he traveled extra miles to meet her.She hugged him from his back. “I’ll miss you. I promise to find ways to meet you again. Devance will help us.”Caleb heaved a sigh. He clasped her hand and faced her. “I see you’re getting close to Devance. I admit I’m jealous and afraid you’d fall for him

DEXA angrily entered her room and shoved a few crystal vases with fresh red roses on the bedside table. Everything broke, and yet it was not enough. She even kicked a large ceramic vase in her collection. It was her favorite, and too late for her to regret despite realizing her hardship of acquiring it from China, and it was recorded from the Qing Dynasty. The intricate pottery was shattered into pieces.“Damn you, bitch!” She was so mad at Triana and disappointed in her father, especially with Devance. She couldn’t believe they’d joined forces to humiliate her.“Liars!” Dexa was enraged. She knew Xavier was not perfect, but she was sure he loved her and would never do such an odious thing to Triana. He promised to start a new life with her before they married two years ago. He even swore that he’d change for the better only for her. And she believed him.She scurried to the walk-in closet. It was full of her luxury collections of bags and shoes. But she only got her few favorites and

THE Festival of Lights finally came, and just as expected, the Chaudharys were busy attending to their guests, mainly extended families from different parts of the world. They were Akhil’s relatives, and there was a feast for a few days. Lucia, along with the twins, also arrived to celebrate with them.The house was full of colorful lights. Triana felt this festival was equal to Christmas. Until now, she couldn’t memorize these numerous festivals of this country. But one of the things that surprised her was that their calendar year was approximately more than fifty-six years ahead compared to the Gregorian calendar. Everything she learned about Devance’s heritage made her in awe.The celebration lasted for almost a week. Triana could not deny she was exhausted from socializing with the visitors. And she had to sleep with Devance every night to avoid suspicion. Devance had been complaining about his backache from sleeping on the couch since Triana would not let him sleep on the same be

THE house was peaceful again after the Festival of Lights. Triana’s family returned to the Philippines after enjoying their vacation. Akhil requested a family meeting inside the library on the third floor.“We will proceed with the European trip. You will join us to meet different investors and attend several business conferences as part of your training before I appoint you as the top-ranking executives of the company. Being the Chairman and the CEO of AGC is no joke, I’m telling you,” Akhil explained to the couple. Gracia was seated beside him, listening in silence.Triana and Devance tilted their heads. “We’ll do everything to help you grow your empire, Dad.”“With my guidance. I know you will,” Akhil was confident.“I admit I’m easy-go-lucky, but I took my studies seriously when I went to Oxford.” Devance sounded proud. He looked at Triana and winked. Because aside from the flight school in Amsterdam, he also attended a business course at Oxford University.“I promise to help as w

INSIDE Caleb’s office in Makati, everyone was busy with the preliminary bidding on the conference room. He was not obliged to attend because he had already assigned this task to his Project Manager. Caleb sat comfortably on his swivel chair while browsing pictures from Lara’s social media account. She was with Triana. The latter had no penchant for this kind of update because she valued her privacy.It appeared that she was already in Paris. Triana must be waiting for his arrival so they could celebrate the Christmas holidays together. Caleb was only fixing his schedule so that everything would still be in order when he left for a few days.Then something popped into his notification that Lara posted a story. Caleb’s jaw immediately flexed when he saw Devance kiss Triana in the background. It could be a simple gesture, but it stirred his jealousy. They looked so sweet, like a real couple having fun.Caleb hardly clasped his cell phone and harshly sighed. He almost broke it when he put

ONE week had passed quickly, and the moment Triana had waited for so long came. At last, she’d meet Caleb tomorrow in Paris. It was a perfect time since their parents went to Barcelona for a few days’ vacation. And after that, the Chaudharys would travel to Iceland for the holidays. It was Triana’s idea to celebrate Christmas Eve under the Northern Lights. Then they’d return to the Philippines for the New Year’s celebration and the fourth death anniversary of her father.“You’re beaming today,” Devance complimented her while fixing her things.“Of course, finally I can see the love of my life after almost three months! The well is getting dry.”Devance looked at her, confused. “The… what?!”“Oh, never mind.” Triana giggled. It seemed that Devance’s dirty humor was contagious. Unlike before, she could joke around with him like this because she was comfortable.“Did I hear it right? The well is getting dry?” Devance laughed out loud. “Sorry for being slow. I didn’t know you had this sen

TRIANA found that Dexa and Xavier were not in the house the next day. Devance informed her beforehand, and she was glad. She’d have her peace of mind.She freshened up quickly. Triana thought it was just a nightmare. She was thankful that Devance never left her side. She was so scared last night, thinking Xavier might be back to force her again.“Are you ready?” Devance asked when he entered the room. And as usual, he had just come from the swimming pool with a white towel covering his lower body.“I’ll have my tea.” She tried to smile and avert her gaze to his torso. “Thanks, about last night.”“Oh, don’t mention it. Let’s catch the flight at nine.” “A-about that, I think I changed my mind.” She hesitated to tell him the reason.“But why?” His forehead creased. Triana knew he was just anxious about her condition. That was why he suddenly decided to return to the Philippines.She cleared her throat. “Caleb called a few minutes ago, and he confirmed his flight going to Bhutan a day af
