Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 20
“Emily! God, it feels like it’s been forever since I last saw you.” “I know right,” Emily groaned as she walked over to her best friend. “Where have you been?” The weekend had gone by rather quickly with Emily and Tyler barely speaking to each other. After her drunk incident with Giovanni she remained in her room and was barely on her phone to reply dozens of calls and texts of worry from Tyler as he wondered where she was and what could have happened to her. “How are you?” He immediately put his arms around her shoulder, staring at her with a worried look in his eyes. “About the party- Emily I’m so sorry I let you out of my sight for a second. I shouldn’t have allowed that jerk take you with him but he insisted. He didn’t hurt you or do anything crazy to you, did he?” “Giovanni?” She asked the obvious question, taking a quick trip down memory lane. “Oh, no. He didn’t. I’m fine.” “Are you sure?” Tyler didn’t seem convinced. “Of course,” Emily nodded and smiled. “Yes, he is a j

Emily stared at the concert tickets in her hand then her reflection in the mirror, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. She was dressed in all black- a top with the bands name on it and a short skirt. Underneath it, she had laced tights and completed her outfit with heeled boots, chains dangling from the corners of her skirt to the laces of the boot. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, dark Smokey eyed makeup done all over her face. She didn’t look like her usual self and was more than glad. It was the perfect look for for the concert. She glanced at her wall clock, realizing it was almost 8pm already. She had stuck to the time frame and was ready before 8pm, left with nothing to do but wait for Giovanni to arrive. She sighed and plopped into her bed, replying the scenario in her head all over again. It did feel surreal. For him to not only get her concert tickets but also manage to wiggle himself out of his tight schedule and accept going with her. Before she could wallo

Emily and Giovanni arrived at the concert venue, the pulsing beat of the bass drums so loud it could be heard miles away. As they approached the long line wrapping around the block, Giovanni shuddered, contemplating his every decision for the millionth time that night. He looked ridiculous and was in the most ridiculous place ever. Emily took the lead, shouldering their way in after showing the security guards their tickets and gaining access in. The whole atmosphere had a gothic aura to it, the venue. cavernous space with walls adorned with graffiti that seemed to hide secrets of rebellion and anguish. The scent of leather and incense lingered in the air, blending with the faint aroma of anticipation. “You like events like this?” Giovanni had to ask, as he looked around him again, the dim lightening that cast elongated shadows accross the room adding an extra whiff of mystique to the atmosphere. “You enjoy this?” “Yes, yes,” she nodded excitedly, seeming captivated by the sea of

The second Giovanni pulled over in front of his house, he spotted August waiting outside, leaning against his own car. Immediately groaning, he recollected August texting him and him ignoring the text. It was a completely unusual thing to do so it was no surprise August drove all the way to his house to check up on him. “August.” “Oh Giovanni you’re finally back,” August spun on hearing Giovanni’s voice. He initially had a worried expression on his face, the emotion dissolving into one of shock and confusion the second he laid his eyes on him. “I have so many question. First, what are you wearing?” “Just ignore it,” Giovanni replied him, taking off the tshirt he had on without hesitation. “I was forced to wear it.” “Second, where are you coming from?” August continued and just as Giovanni was about to reply, raised a finger to interrupt him. “Wait. Do not tell me you’re coming from a concert.” “I won’t tell you then.” “Weren’t those tickets for Miss Stark?” August was beyond c

Giovanni scrolled through the page on his phone, clicking his tongue as his eyes roamed through the list of decent and romantic date locations and events. He had gotten August to send him a detailed list of more activities to do with Emily. After all, they still had a couple of dates to go on and anything worth doing was worth doing well. After a couple of minutes of contemplation, he was down to three locations and events- A park, a restaurant and a cinema. Neither of them seemed appealing enough though. They were just better than the other pointless activities in the list. A park? He clicked his tongue at the thought. There wasn’t much to do at parks and on second thoughts, it suddenly felt like a childish place to be. “Out of it,” he mentally crossed out of his list, leaving with with a restaurant and a cinema. “Restaurant?” It was going to be their third date at a restaurant and thanks to Emily showing up in purple for their past two dates at the restaurant, he couldn’t bri

Emily hung up the call and rose to her feet, still in total disbelief about the whole situation. It made no sense and regardless of how hard she thought about it, it all felt like something completely out of Giovanni’s character. Why did he have to come all the way to her school? And like that wasn’t enough, why wasn’t he leaving? Still feeling awkward, she walked towards the main entrance of the library with the thought of going to fetch him from wherever he must have parked his car and was probably waiting for her. But much to her surprise, the moment she was about to approach the door, she caught him strolling into the library, hands shoved in his pocket as he looked around for her. “Mr. Giovanni?” She called out to him in a low voice, waving her hands to get his get his attention. “Um, here.” “Oh there you are.” “How were you allowed in?” She immediately asked as he walked up towards her. “It’s a student only library.” “Well, I have my ways,” he raised his eyebrows. “You sa

A small smile appeared on Emily’s face as she returned to her seat in the library to meet Giovanni still asleep. His head was now properly rested on the table, his face completely hidden thanks to his postion. Immediately getting on her toes, she tiptoed towards over to her seat and just as she fell into it, careful not to make too much of a sound, he raised his head. “Oh,” she bit her lip realizing she must have been too loud. “You’re awake.” “What do you mean by that?” He stylishly rubbed his eyes as he asked. “I wasn’t asleep.” “What?!” Emily exclaimed in disbelief. “You were asleep! You fell asleep!” “You must be mistaken,” He adjusted his jacket and smoothened his hair with his palm. “I am unable to sleep anywhere that easily. Maybe I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds and you mistook that for me sleeping but you’re wrong. I was not asleep. I was still fully aware of everything going on in my surroundings.”“Oh, yeah?” She smirked. “Do you know when I left here then? Wh

Close to another hour passed and finally Emily was done for the night, Emily proceeding to have Giovanni drive her home. It was already late as they embarked on the night drive, the road stretching ahead of them, illuminated by the gentle glow from the moon. Silence settled between, only broken by the soft hum of the engine as they drove. With gaze fixed on the road, thoughts roamed Giovanni’s mind. It had to be the latest he found himself driving and instead of normally wondering why he was driving so late, he couldn’t help but wonder if school work made Emily that busy all the time. Did she always spend so long at school? And even if she did, did she always have to return home that late at night? The fact that her parents barely cared about her was already established but was it that bad? His grip on the steering wheel tightened as he kept on imagining. For some reason, the thought of her being out that late every night made him uneasy, prompting him to finally speak up and bre

Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 100 (EPILOGUE)
Several months later… “And that’s a wrap for today.” August raised his head over his macbook to take a glance at Giovanni, genuinely amused as those words escaped his lips. Months ago, he was the boss that didn’t care about things like a stated closing hour. He worked till whenever he pleased and only left the office when it was beginning to feel too late to be in the office. But now, he was a completely different person- he never spent a minute past 4pm working. “Alright sir.” “Yes, sir.” “Thank you for today, sir.” The sounds of papers shuffling filled the air, followed by the scraping of chairs as staffs rose to their feet, hitting the floor with their heels as they rushed out of the meeting room. In no time, the room was left empty to no one but August and Giovanni, preparing to do the same. Except Giovanni was more nervous than August could ever be. “You leaving work by exactly 4pm would never cease to amaze me,” August had to comment. “I guess love really does change
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 99
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Giovanni watched August loosen his tie as he nodded, seeming convinced on the decision he was about to take. After what seemed like an eternity, they were both done with work for the day and naturally, were supposed to head home. But August had decided he wanted to visit a bar and of course, drag Giovanni with him. A sigh escaped Giovanni’s lips as he watched his best friend finally free himself from the clutches of his tie, dancing a little as he shoved the little piece of clothing down his pocket. Though he wasn’t sure what exactly he was expecting when he called Tyler several hours, he was sure that wasn’t it. “Yes,” August nodded, flinging his arm across Giovanni’s shoulders, earning a shudder from him. “I’m just going to drink a little then head home.” “A little?” it was hard to believe he wasn’t drunk already the way his words drawled. “August, you intended to drink just a little yesterday?” “That was yesterday,” he waved his fingers in
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 98
August woke up with a headache, serving as a dreadful reminder of how the previous night went. Dozens of bottles of wine, hundreds of honesty laced words. And of all the audience to have accompanying his foolishness, it just had to be Giovanni. “Fuck,” he groaned, reaching for his phone. He could remember Giovanni driving him home after he drank himself to stupor but that was all. He couldn’t remember anything else- like how he had gotten into his bed or how he had gotten his phone next to him. “Shit, what’s the time?” He swiped his phone unlock to check the time but literally immediately, his eyes caught something else. It was his call log. And sitting prettily at the top was a missed call from Tyler. It was more than enough to cure his hangover, his eyes immediately widening. A missed call from Tyler? How did that happen? When did that happen? Why did that happen? For the hundredth time, he let out a groan, realizing he still had no memory of what happened the previous night
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 97
“You think you have a crush on August?” Tyler took in a deep breath, sitting up as the words finally escaped from the clutches of his throat. After weeks and weeks of denial, he had finally decided to come clean to himself. And finally, his best friend too. “Yes,” he nodded, his heart racing in his chest. “I think I have a crush on him.” Emily’s expression was unreadable for a while, wavering between shock and confusion. She always knew there was something fishy going on between him and August. She knew there was more to their relationship than he was admitting but couldn’t frankly figure out Tyler having a crush on him. “Are you surprised?” Tyler swallowed as he asked. “Disappointed? Dis-” “No, no,” Emily quickly interrupted him. “It’s nothing like that. Shocked? Yes, I am, a little. But disappointed? I’m not ‘dis’ anything.” “Oh,” he broke into an awkward chuckle, his chest feeling a lot lighter. “Well, yeah. I know you’re probably wondering how it all happened but I guess,
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 96
Emily feet remained glued to the ground, shock flooding her veins. Not just shock though- she had a couple of other emotions running through her. Anger, deceit, betrayal- to a name a few. Her sister was fine? Stacy was fine all along? She was just hiding from her and making a total fool out of her with the consent of both her parents? All along, her disappearance was just an act put in place by her and her parents because she didn’t want to get married to Giovanni? She didn’t want to believe her ears but with every second that passed, the brutal truth was slapped onto her face all over again. It was slowly making sense and finally, the anger in her grew and overpowered every other emotion she felt. Without hesitating for even a second, she balled her fist and immediately pushed the door to her parents’ room open, revealing herself to them. “Alright dear. We’ll call you some other time to- Oh my God, Emily.” Her face grew cold as she stared at them, watching her mum immediately
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 95
Their ride to Giovanni’s had only lasted a couple of minutes when his phone vibrated by his side, signifying a text message. Busy with driving, he immediately asked Emily to check what it was on his behalf, the duo immediately realizing August needed Giovanni’s presence for something urgent. Needless to guess, something work related. “I could cancel,” Giovanni suggested, noticing the disappointed look on Emily’s face. “Tell him I’m busy or something. I don’t have to-” “No,” she shook her head, refusing his offer. “You don’t have to.” “But-” “It’s probably important,” she flashed him a weak smile. “And come on, you’ve been away from work for a while so it’s probably really urgent. You should go. I’ll be fine.” “Alright then,” he nodded in return. “But I’ll drive you home first. Do not even try to object to that. I’m driving you home.” Already disappointed at their time together getting cut short abruptly, Emily had no intention of wasting the few moments they could spend togethe

Giovanni: I'm outside.A text from Giovanni had never given Emily that much joy. And without wasting a single second, she grabbed her bag and dashed out of the classroom, heading to the parking lot to meet the man responsible for her bundle of joy.Her temporary goodbye to Tyler was quick. And thanks to her all sense of reasoning being overshadowed by her happiness, she couldn't notice how absentminded Tyler was as he mumbled out a reply.But that didn't matter. Not at the moment.In a flash, she found herself at the parking lot, her head shot up as her eyes roamed around excitedly. In barely a minute of searching, she found him waving at her and eagerly rushed towards him."Hi.""Hi."Awkwardness threatened to settle between them, Emily quickly fighting back by breaking into a light chuckle. Followed by a blush creeping towards her cheeks as he remembered everything that transpired between them twenty-four hours ago."Hev.""So how was your test?" Giovanni asked. "Did it go well?""
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 93
With head hung low, Tyler managed to drag himself back to class. Darn that test he needed to write. Scrap his grade that needed to be saved- all he just wanted to do was head back home and get busy with anything that was going to prevent him from thinking. But he had no choice, hence had to be in class whether he wanted to or not. “Tyler!” The second he stepped into class again, he heard Emily call out his name. “Here.” He looked around him and realizing the professor was still yet to arrive, he walked towards her with a sluggish nod and returned to his previous seat. “Who did you head out to meet?” She asked immediately without wasting a single second. “Who was it? What was so urgent?” “Nothing,” he looked away. “It was nothing.” “You went to meet someone,” she insisted. “Who was it?” “I didn’t meet anyone.” “Was it a girl? Ah, is it a girl? Is there a girl you’re hitting on?” “No, it’s wasn’t a girl!” “I thought you said you didn’t meet anyone,” a full smirk appeared on
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 92
Tyler got on his toes and as quietly as he could, he picked up his clothes from floor and threw them on. August was still asleep and he couldn’t be more glad for that. It was the perfect opportunity for him to sneak out of the house without waking him up and in the process, starting unnecessary drama. Just like he did the previous night, he had a lot of emotions running through his veins. Confusion, nervousness, anxiety- the list could go on. But at least, one thing he was glad he wasn’t feeling was regret. Regret for sleeping with August. He spared his sleepy self a quick glanced and sighed, immediately getting the last bits of his things. All ready to leave, he walked out of the room and in no time, was successfully out of the house. “Crap.” He had classes in the morning and a test in the afternoon. He didn’t feel particularly great about himself though, making him contemplate ditching both of them. But he immediately remembered he couldn’t. It was a major test and unless he wa
