CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 45- SECRETS
ARIEL POV It was difficult to process my thoughts these days. A lot kept unveiling, giving me creeps. It was weird but I had a lot to look forward to or perhaps deal with. Lucille's husband, who got physical with her. Kathleen unending obsession to ending Ryan's and I relationship and my gut feeling that Evelyn might be alive. The last was a bad assumption, so I decided to discard the thoughts quickly. I put in more effort in sending the voice recording I took of him, in which he confessed his promiscuous life, as well as how he physically assaulted Lucille. After discovering I wasn't giving up,and knowing how bad it would be for him if the public got a hearing of the recording, he promised not to beat her again, but will still continue his promiscuous life. I wanted to put him to stop, but I decided to end it there. I simply blocked him, before trying to focus on other things. I sat at the back side of the house, enjoying the beautiful scenery. The garden was the perfect therap
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 46- IT HURTS
ARIEL POV It wasn't easy to neglect the thought of confronting Ryan about his statement, but I decided against the throbbing thoughts in my head. I just sat still on the kitchen stool, gulping down cold water to calm me. I figured out Ryan probably knew about this, and must have told the truth about the accident on the night of my escapade because he was pissed. He sounded like he cared about me, as a smile curled at my lips. I cleared my throat, thinking back to why Mrs. Selina decided to lie about the incident, but it seemed she really wanted me for her son. "Ariel.”I turned abruptly as Ryan sat in front of me. We stared briefly at each other, as I drank more of the cold water, trying to calm the tingling sensation in me. "Are you angry at my mum?”My eyes widened a bit, as my stare cut to his. He scratched his hair slightly, as he avoided my gaze. At that moment, I realized I must have been staring at him too much. "I'm not. She probably wanted us married. And so far, I ha
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 47- NIGHTMARE
ARIEL POV Everything before my eyes felt like flashes of scenes. The last time I got hit on the night of my escapade,rushed into my imaginary lane, as I felt glued to the position I was, just near the roadside. I closed my eyes, nervousness hitting every nerve of my body, the rain doing no justice in keeping me less wet. I felt a grip on my arm, as my body collided with something hard. It felt so fast, as I felt a covering on my head, my head resting on something, perhaps a body. Was it Ryan? The horns from cars subsided. I embraced the body tightly, but stopped when that scent hitted me. It wasn't a familiar scent. I opened my eyes, as I stepped back instantly, worries clouding my face. What the hell? "Damien. What are you doing here?” I rubbed off the fogginess in my eyes away as I stared at him. I can't believe I hugged him. He moved closer, his umbrella big enough, providing a covering for the both of as it drrizzled. I felt like I was making the biggest mistake. “It is bu
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 48- APOLOGY
RYAN POV Every part of me felt as if I was burnt with fire immediately I saw the pictures of the two of them hugging. Why did she even hug him? I let out a grunted sigh, as I brushed my hair with my hand. I was jealous,' I admit, but I felt there was more to what I saw. The way Ariel's eyes were telling me everything I saw wasn't true only made me restless. She had tears in her eyes. But I didn't listen. I glanced at my wristwatch for the umpteenth time, as I tried to calm down. I paced to and fro in the living room, hoping to get what really happened. I stopped on my track as it clicked. I just needed to investigate. I picked my phone as I called the right man for the job. He picked at the second ring. "Mr. Martin's, I need you to investigate something tonight.”A few silences eloped, as I wondered if he was still there. "Sure. Please go on.”He finally spoke, as I let out a sigh. "I need you to get the video footage of both inside Every VIP section and outside the Gentla rest
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 49- LOVE CONFESSION
ARIEL POV Love, they say, is a beautiful thing. It is sometimes not a feeling, but based on actuality, on what you know. Love is patient and kind, forgives freely and lots more. Love is more than the looks.It is mostly about the admirable qualities. It had been over six months of my marriage with Ryan and so far so good, it made me feel safe. The past few days made me realize I was already in love with Ryan. Every day serves as a means to see more of his endearing qualities, making me grow in love with this man. I wasn't certain if I were to fall for him, but I definitely liked what I felt for him. But does he feel the same way for me? I let out a sigh, as I stared at him working on his laptop. We were currently on our way to Australia for our honeymoon. Surprised? I was surprised, too. I thought he would randomly pick a country close by or perhaps Italy since he mostly ventured into business there, but I was wrong. He picked the place I had always wanted since childhood. My dre
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 50- A NIGHT FOR TWO
RYAN POV Words alone explain how I felt when I finally heard her confession. It felt as if a part of me was dead, as I did not feel the same way about her. I only liked her. I admire her beautiful qualities. She is loving, but I hadn't thought of ever falling in love again. The previous time I did was a disaster. The one I loved died in a fire outbreak. I do not want to go through another heartbreak again.I'm afraid… I adjusted myself on the seat, staring at the beautiful brown irises that met with mine. She was expecting my response, but what could I say? "Ariel….” I felt her facial expression change slightly. Oh! no! I should have used a pet name instead. “It's fine if you don't feel the same way about me. I just wanted to let it all out. I just…” "I like you a lot.” I rasped out, stopping her from saying more words. She peered at me, as I held on to her right hand. "Thank you for confessing your feelings for me. It made me feel special. I like you a lot, but I do not lov
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 51- MEETING LUCILLE
ARIEL POV Yesterday's episode kept running through my head like a marathon. It felt good and bad that I confessed my feelings to Ryan. To be honest, I felt down a bit, he hadn't fallen in love with me. It was enough to dampen my zeal and my goal to help him see reasons why he can love me. But, he was gentle and loving. His words were like a calming soothe to my racing heart, his care, and attention like I owned the world. But I was still angry at him. He refused to tell me about him and his dad. I could smell a conflict between them, but he wouldn't budge. I sighed, as I noticed he was awake, his eyes slightly open. "Milady, good morning.”His voice was low, and calm. I ignored him, as I stood up, walking towards the mirror at the other end of the room. Our hotel room was quite spacious, making me wonder how much Ryan must have paid for our one week here. "Hey, are you ignoring me now?”He sighed, as he yawned. "You can order for your meal. I need to go for a walk.” I deadpann
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 52- SEDUCTION
RYAN POV I was definitely not feeling guilt free knowing I have been having business dealings while on a honeymoon with Ariel. We haven't even visited the important places in the city of Melbourne. I closed my laptop, as my gaze lingered across the room until it reach that of Ariel, who was focused on the book she was reading. She had been doing plenty of readings since we left the States. I can't blame her. I have only proved to be a boring husband. "Done with work?”I broke out of my thoughts as the words of Ariel reached me. "Yes. But there is something I need to tell you.”I scratched my neck, feeling nervous all of a sudden. "Shoot.”She dropped her book, as her stare cut to mine. "I'm taking you out tonight on a business date with your step-sister and her husband. Is it okay with you?” She hummed, as she nodded. "Of course.”That was her response. I don't know, but I could feel that she wasn't so glad about it. Why will she be? I should be beaten. If my mum gets wind t

#FIVE YEARS LATER ARIEL POV We have come this far, and to be honest, it hasn't been easy. What drives us as a couple is the in-depth love that cares at all times. It had been a beautiful ride, completely worth it. My years of marriage with Ryan had been the best. It taught me lessons- to be tolerant and patient. To love and cherish Ryan and just when I fell in love with him, which wasn't reciprocated at first, I almost thought I would give up. But I never did. Evelyn's entrance into our life was yet something that left the fringes of hope that I had . The thought of Ryan finally loving me suddenly escaped into thin air. I wanted to vent my spleen and maybe give up, but my love for Ryan kept me going. It was a daily reminder that I had someone worth holding on to. Love is patient and kind, never seeks out for its own interest. My six years of marriage helped me to see clearly that sometimes, love is not a feeling. Because if it was, it would have faded like dust. I hit the
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 89- MAKE UP
ARIEL POV My mouth dropped for seconds, as I stood. Ryan waved his hand, stopping my forward movement. He took one last glance at me, before walking further into the house. My throat dried, as a bitter feeling erupted inside of me. I felt bad for what I did. But I was scared. The thought of having a child seemed quite overwhelming at first, not to mention the fact that I wasn't sure Ryan was ready to be a father yet. “He will come around. Don't bother too much about it, sis.”Lucille's hand patted my shoulder, as I faked a smile. "I guess this was a bad timing. I have to leave now. You guys need time to sort things out.”Lucille commented as she held her bag. "Wait. What about the biscuits? I made them specially for you.”I took some in a plastic container as I placed it in her bag. She simply looked on, as I walked her out of the house. We hugged for the last time, as she promised to visit with her husband next time. I closed the door behind, feelings of chaos slowly fillin
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 88- DISCOVERY
RYAN POV It had been three weeks since Ariel moved back and my life had gotten better with her company. It was just like the good old days. Our conversations were quite a fine one with no stoppers to make it awkward in any way. Well, all had been good except for the lovemaking part. We always end up making out, but not any further into sex. Ariel always laid complaints or excuses, making me wonder if she was afraid of something. Or maybe she wasn't ready to have sex with me again. That thought had been lingering in my mind as far as possible. Even when I asked her what was wrong, she only asked me to be patient. I am patient, and I trust she must have a good reason for holding back. I really hope the reason wasn't because of me. I expelled a breath the moment I entered the garden at my mum's mansion. Everywhere was rather quiet with just the chirping of birds, and flapping of wings. The green plants blossomed greatly, making every part all green. I walked towards my mum, who se
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 87- THE REUNION
ARIEL POV Summer is one of the best four earths seasons that foreshadows Autumn. The days become warm, hot, and long, nights shorter. Everyone loves summer. I love it too. It was the best time to go on a vacation, especially spending more time closer to the sea. Plenty of leaves on trees and numerous plants to admire. It was always a beautiful day to observe creation. And that was how I had been spending my days, yearning for Ryan to be beside me. Occasionally, I imagine us going for a vacation – just the two of us. Maybe Eva's question really got me, making me reconsider going back to Ryan. I didn't have the perfect words to reply to Eva that very day she asked that question, and I was grateful the doorbell came to my rescue once again. But now, the right answer was on the tip of my heart. Most times when I glance outside, it was always as if I felt Ryan's presence. Every gift he always sent was full of graceful and sweet words that often melt my heart. I really missed
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 86- HEART POUNDING
RYAN POVIt has been over a week since I witnessed that horror scene that kept plaguing memories. The secrets that came with it only left my mind off, my body trembling with anger and disappointment. Nick came right on time. Dad and Evelyn saved, which at least made me feel better. I wanted to let them live, even with the hurt they caused me. They made me look like a fool for so many years. However, it made me grateful that all these happened. It made me feel special to have Ariel in my life. She is a special gem who has helped me introduce changes to myself. Slowly, she helped me strip off my old personality. As for dad, he was arrested and will be spending the rest of his life in prison. He was involved in illegal deals with drugs and human trafficking. It was a shocker. Evelyn, on the other hand, was under confinement in the psychiatric hospital, as she was being taken care of. It was shocking to realize that her mental health was at stake because of my dad, who used these dru
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 85-THE TRUTH
RYAN POV Everyday seems like I would go out of my mind any moment from now. It is really appalling to see the effect Ariel had on me. And so far so good, I have been able to make a decision if at all she ever agrees to be in my life again. I had decided to resign from being the CEO of this company. I hadn't told anyone about this, as I was still debating on it. I wanted to be certain I really wanted that simple lifestyle I yearned for those past years. My fingers shook as I waited patiently for Eva to text back. I had been asking her about Ariel all this while. It was safe to say I was happy she was doing fine. But, I really missed her. I felt miserable without her. Ariel still proved to be the best as she saved food recipes for me. I cooked with them and it has been my lifesaver. I wondered what would have happened if Ariel didn't leave those recipes of hers. I would have been diagnosed with ulcer - the ailment I had battled with in the past. Even Though I didn't thoroughly en
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 84- ATTEMPTED MURDER
ARIEL POV Being pregnant seemed to be tampering with my mood, as I seek solace in quiet places. In fact, I love silent places. I love to be alone most of the time. Eva has been the kindest soul as she often sttays with me. She always leaves for work in the morning and returns in the evening. Damien had been making sure I was regularly checked by the doctor. Every now and then, I felt lonely, the thought of Ryan's well-being hovering in my mind. I didn't give in too much thought to Eva's words, but I still imagine what it was like for Ryan to have witnessed his father having sex with his wife. It was a betrayal that will definitely sting deep. I wonder if he is drowning in alcohol, or wallowing in self-pity. He probably misses me now. I sighed, as I glanced at my new phone, as if I was expecting a call from him. He doesn't even have access to my new number. How will he call? I grimaced at my thought. The doorbell rang, as I made to stand, but stopped as Eva passed by. "I wi
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 83- PREGNANT
ARIEL POV There was comfortable silence, as the doctor took her final check on me. I fought with the apprehensive thoughts running through my mind, and it took a lot of courage not to give way to tears, especially if the doctor confirmed Eva's words to me. Eva had demanded that Damien call a doctor to check up on me, and a test had been run on me. The last few hours are all dedicated to me. "Miss Ariel is two weeks and a few days pregnant.”The doctor dropped the bombshell, as I felt my heart pinned. I should have expected this, but it was as if I were in a trance. Eva's body collided with mine, as she engulfed me into a hug. She stared at me with a giant smile plastered on her lips. It was as if she won a lottery. "Congratulations sister-in-law.”She beamed, her palm resting on mine. I gave her a small smile, still not acquainted with the new discovery that made me rather speechless. "Thank you doctor.”Damien spoke, as he gave me a smile, which I reciprocated. The doctor ment
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 82- SURPRISE
RYAN POV Moans and groans filled the four corners of the room. I watched their illicit act, each part of my body trembling and almost breaking. They were caught up in the sham of CONSUMMATION that they were oblivious to my presence. I simply looked on, my feet unable to move. I was beyond stunned. Finally, my assumption was proved right in front of me. My dad had been screwing with my wife for like forever. It stabbed me like a knife, at the betrayal. Evelyn's innocence had been lies all this while, yet I fell for it. I allowed her to jeopardize my relationship with Ariel. I savaged my College life, doing everything to please her. She had always claimed to be a virgin and that had been one major reason why our relationship hadn't gone past kissing, hugging and holding hands. But it was clear. She never loved me. She was only pretending. She only loved my father. I turned to leave, making a slight noise with my shoes, and it seemed to do the trick of distracting them. “Ryan…”
