Healing the billionaire's heart Chapter 9
Chapter 9Elijah,I kept clicking my fingers on my knee as I listened to the chitchat between Angela and Willow. These two looked like good buddies at the moment. If I were someone else, I would have thought that they knew each other long ago. Even a daughter mother relationship binds them too.It was eerie and made me mildly uncomfortable because, at moments like this, I always dreaded what would happen next.I know that my daughter will lose her shit and she will be worse than before, but what can I do? It felt like choosing between drowning or dying from the lack of oxygen. Different, but still the same.Robb, Alan, and even the always silent Henry talked about it, and I knew. God, I really knew that they were right, but I couldn’t bring myself to shatter this fake world Angela created.She was so young when it happened and she saw it all. She saw the pain and anguish on her mother’s face when she took her last breath.She saw the light fading away from her eyes and her shivering,

Chapter 10Willow,“Mama, mama wake up.”Angel said and suddenly the entire bed began to shake and I groaned turning around, covering my face and my ears, trying to block all the noise.But then she giggled, and I felt a weight drop above me and I omphed, then groaned loudly because that freaking hurt.I used the billow covering my face to hit her softly, making her giggles rise in volume, and the girl finally dropped from above me.“Just give me a couple more minutes, and I promise I will be all yours and we will do whatever you want today.”I said hoarsely and all the noise and movement seized and I sighed softly, smiling as I felt myself drift back to sleep.“NO. I want you to wake up right now. It is morning and we have the entire house for us. We can do whatever we want, mama. The big, strong dragon isn’t guarding the castle today.”She said excitedly and even though I was still groggy from sleep, I giggled, joining her, and pulled her to my arms, hugging her, making her scream h

Chapter 11Elijah,My phone kept vibrating while I was listening to something my peer said and I frowned and then flipped it over trying to focus on what the man was saying.This was a very important meeting and I need to close this deal. This will help me expand the company and make me spread worldwide.My company wasn’t small, but it wasn’t international yet and even though I work in international trade, my company didn’t reach that far.I have worked with companies in the Middle East and North America and now I want to have a foot in Asia and China is the perfect place to lay out the foundation for such a step.The man stopped, and he gave me a nod and I nodded back because this was going great. I opened my mouth to comment on what he just said, but then my phone buzzed again. Robb held my phone and checked it while I answered some of the questions that were addressed to me and asked about my company policy.But then Robb showed me the phone, and I saw Angela’s name on the caller

Chapter 12Willow,I tucked Angela in and watched her sleep soundly.She had been clinging to me for almost a week now, and it was becoming tiring. I know that she was still shocked by what had happened in Walmart, but still, it was too much.God, now I pity all the mammies I saw look tired and just gave up on life. I have one girl and I can’t handle her. She is too much.I thought, smiling, then I shook my head because look at me, should I go to a park now and sit with all the mammies and complain like them?I laughed softly again as I got out of the room and went downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat. All of those meds make me hungry.And yeah, I have put on a couple of pounds and I wasn’t mad about it. They always told me that I needed to eat more and now I’m doing it.But I stopped in my tracks when I found Elijah there staring at an empty glass in hand, lost in thought that he didn’t even notice me.Since I woke up and found him sleeping on a couch in the hospital an

Chapter 13Elijah,I watched the sunrise from where I was standing on my balcony and shivered from how cold it was right now.I watched the sun grow and the colors change and after a moment I closed my eyes and pulled my mask down to feel the cold breeze and the warmth tickle my face.It has been a while since I came outside here and did this. It had been our thing before, and after Diana left us, I stopped watching the start of the day and felt the light chase away the darkness.It always brought peace to my mind and soul, but after the accident, it reminded me of my loss and how it happened, and who was the reason behind it.It reminded me of how shitty I was as a person and how I was a waste of air. It should have been me who died that night.My wife and daughter deserve better. Their only fault was accepting me into their life and letting me taint it with my darkness.I opened my eyes when it became warmer and I gripped the balcony railing tightly that my knuckles turned white.Th

Chapter 14Willow,I got out of the shower feeling refreshed and happy.It had been two weeks and my body was getting stronger. This time was better. I guess I was getting used to all the pain and discomfort.I thought, chuckling as I walked back to the room and leaned down to kiss Angela’s forehead, then tucked her in before standing in front of the mirror and trying to dry my hair.I want to use the hair dryer but it will be so loud and I might wake up the sleeping girl so I just used a towel and when it felt like taking forever, I just put it up in a messy bun and called it a night.I slept beside Angela making her stir a little, but then my stomach protested, so I just went downstairs to make me one of those delicious late peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.Honestly, I wasn’t that hungry, but when I thought about going to the kitchen; I thought about Elijah and remembered what happened the last time we bumped into each other there.Each time I saw him, I was reminded of his words

Chapter 15Elijah,My eyes opened, and I became alert the moment my bedroom door burst open and I heard the sniffles of my daughter as she rushed toward me. I became tense as I tried to search for my mask or open the lamp beside me, and panic was creeping into my chest when the footsteps grew closer.“It is ok. You don’t need to light the room. We can see clearly from the faint light from the opened door, but we can’t see your face.”Willow said quietly, and even though I was ashamed of myself, I sighed in relief because I didn’t want either of them to see my face.“Papa.”Angela cried softly as she climbed on top of the bed, then crawled to where I was as she felt her way in the dark.I pulled her to my chest and her crying rose in volume the moment my arms wrapped around her small, shaky body.“What happened Angel? Why aren’t you asleep?”I asked her as I began to stroke her back soothingly and she buried her face in my chest and I felt her drenched cheeks soak me.“I saw a nightma

Chapter 16Elijah,I groaned softly, then I threw my head above my face when I felt the sunlight bright through my closed eyes.I tried to go back to sleep, but then I felt a soft movement beside me and I tensed up. I have forgotten about last night. When the hell did I fall asleep without even putting my mask back on?I opened my eyes slowly looking around, then beside me and found Angela was still asleep, but her hands and legs are outside the covers and she was sprawled like a starfish on the bed.My eyes moved slowly and landed on Willow’s peaceful face, and I winced silently when I remembered the shit I have done last night.I have cried like a little kid in front of her, sniffling and wailing. I was so ashamed of myself that I wanted to jump out the window.But then I narrowed my eyes at her and found her breathing quickly, which indicated that she was awake, and I pulled the covers up to hide half of my face.“Before you start accusing me of anything, yes I am awake for a while

Healing the billionaire's heart Chapter 24
Chapter 24,willow,I stared at my reflection in the mirror and just couldn’t believe what I was seeing.I looked so….different, all dolled and glammed up. I looked like I was sparkling. Even the air around me was sparkling as well.The dress Elijah chose for me was so beautiful even though it made me feel a little uncomfortable because at first glance you might think that it was very conservative.But in truth, it is nothing like that. The entire thing was black lace with something beneath it covering the entire skin. Even half of my neck was covered. Just the shoulders were showing from the lace.It flowed beautifully until it reached the floor. It was so moderate and gorgeous, but then if I turned round to show my back, you would find this huge gap showing my entire back. It even reached my ass, almost.I mean if I lean a little it will show, and it is hard to wear an underwear beneath it because it will show and ruin everything.I really loved the dress and Elijah’s taste is super

Chapter 23Willow,I sighed as I sat on the kitchen counter, then looked around me. The place was quiet and gloomy even though I had some people around me.“Miss William, if you need anything, please go to the living room and I will get it to you. There is no need for you to stay like this in the kitchen.”Henry said respectfully, even though I could feel his annoyance and basically everyone else in the kitchen as well.I have been moping around for a couple of hours, maybe three or even more. But I felt alone and depressed without Angela.She had left to see her grandfather and even though she begged me to go with her, I couldn’t do it. Why would I meet the man, I’m not part of the family.But I got that she didn’t like those kinds of visits and she wanted some emotional support, though I asked her if her grandpa was harsh to her but she said no. I was still confused by her reaction, to be honest.So here I am sitting in the kitchen, which felt familiar to me, and looking at the same

Chapter 22,Elijah,“Papa, I want to go home to Mama. I don’t want to see Grandpa. I don’t like it there.”Angela said in a small voice as the car drove us to the mansion where the rest of my family lived. And honestly, I wanted to turn around and go back home, too.I don’t have the mental and physical power to face my father at the moment, especially when I know that he will open that topic again. Marriage.But I can’t refuse to go or just have some excuses because then he will come to the villa and he will see Willow and I’m not ready to tell him anything about her yet, or ever.I know how will he react when he knows about the entire situation and why we are staying together and I know his opinion about it.He won’t like it or like Willow. He never liked Diana, which was one of the reasons I left the mansion and married her away from everyone.The car stopped in front of the huge iron gates and the guards opened them for us and our SUV just stopped in front of the huge stairs.“Ange

Chapter 21Willow,“Miss William, Willow, Mr Lance told me specifically to send you home. He doesn’t want you to follow him.”“I’m not his slave or working for him to order me around. I will go with you, Robb, and if you don’t take me with you, then I will find someone else who would.”“Just look at the little miss. She is tired and scared. This was too much for her. She needs to go back home.”“And I will take her after I make sure that her father is okay. Now move and let me in.”I snarled at the man who was staring at me, fed up and just angry with my stubbornness. But I won’t back down, I must go to Elijah.At first, I was confused and I won’t lie. I was scared a little; I have been trying to stay away from angry men and to me; he was the opposite of that.He was always sweet and kind to me in his own way, and there was this tenderness in his eyes that I thought was only preserved for his daughter, but after a while of living there with them I saw it aimed at me as well.And this
Healing the billionaire's heart Chapter 20
Chapter 20Elijah,I stayed in the car for half an hour, fidgeting and basically afraid to get out.I have promised Angela to come and get her and forgot that she is here with Willow and I will have to face her.And honestly, I still wasn’t ready to do it, yes I’m a cowardly man and I should be embarrassed with my antics but still, I couldn’t gather the courage to get out of the car and tell Willow that I was here to collect them.“Is something wrong? Do you want me to go inside and get them myself?”Robb said from where he was sitting and I shook my head silently before taking a deep breath and just got out of the car and walked toward the restaurant’s door.The place was eerily silent, and I was confused about why because there were customers sitting at the tables and had their food in front of them, but they weren’t eating. They were watching something with interest.Just when I was about to look that way, I heard a man shouting at someone and his voice was menacing, and my frown

Chapter 19Willow, “Mama.”“Mama.”“Mama.”Angela called my name for the millionth time today, and I turned around to look at her as she sat on top of a small table at the end of the kitchen.Today I decided to visit the restaurant, and she cried and threw a tantrum so I had to take her with me, of course, after her father allowed it.“Yes, angel. What is it?”I asked her patiently as I put what I was doing on a counter and went to where she was sitting, fidgeting. I knew that this would happen, but she insisted on coming with me.“When are you going to be done here? I want to go home. Papa said he would come and take us back when he was done with his work, but you two are taking so long.”The little girl whined and sighed, so I kissed her face and hugged her a little. She seemed so tired and bored at the same time.“Do you want to go to my apartment for a little nap? I will send your guards with you, too.”I asked hopefully, and she shook her head against my chest, then pushed me aw
Healing the billionaire's heart Chapter 18
Chapter 18Elijah,“Who the fuck wrote this and how it got published?”I snarled as I kept staring at what was written on the screen of the tablet and each time I felt my blood boil.The reclusive billionaire had finally found love and the woman he chose was someone insignificant.I read the title again and smacked my desk harshly, rattling everything on top of it as I stood up to snarl at Robb, who was pissed the same as me.“I don’t know him as well. He is just some writer in that e-magazine, no one famous. From what I heard, he used to cover business and such. This was the first time he wrote something like this.”Robb said as he stared at his phone and I kept reading the rest of the article. It wasn’t invasive, but I can see that the man did some digging.He knew Willow’s real identity, but he chose not to reveal it in his first article and promised to tell the rest in his next one.“The fucker is toying with me, it seems. He knows everything but chose to not write it. What does h

Chapter 17Willow,“Mama, MAMA.”Angel cried out, calling for me and I sighed as I went to her walk in closet to check on her. She has been there for over fifteen minutes and so far she hasn’t settled on a single outfit.The girl was so excited to go out with her father and she couldn’t stay calm at all. But she is facing a problem with what to wear.God, girls these days are scary. I just put on some old jeans jumpsuit and called it a day already, but she has been throwing clothes left and right.“You will wear that?!”She said cocking her head to the side, frowning, and I felt self conscious now. I mean, it’s big, loose and comfortable. I thought it would be perfect for this, but now seeing those judgemental eyes, I wasn’t sure anymore.“Yes, I think I will be comfortable in them. Are…..do I look horrible?”I asked her fidgeting, and the girl looked up at me, my face, and my hair. My small tank top, then my jeans, and I wanted to run away.“No, this is perfect actually, you know wha
