Hired for the Billionaire's Son 13. Wife
GENESISJust when things were beginning to seem normal, this woman showed up to cause Genesis more confusion. At that moment, all she wanted was to remove herself from that situation, but she was at the centre of it. Dante had just called her his wife. Legally, she was, but she never expected Dante to actually pronounce that title. "You must be joking." The woman's voice shook as she spoke. "Your... wife?""Yes, my wife." Dante was smirking. This was the first time she had seen anything close to a smile on his face. "My lawfully wedded wife.""Look at her..." The woman spoke like she was regarding something filthy. "She is not up to par for some little you—""She is more than enough." Dante intercepted her speech. "And you need to remember that I do not need your approval for anything. You lost that entitlement a long time ago.""Daddy, who is this woman?" Elon was as lost as Genesis. "Baby, I am your grandmother—" she tried to move toward Elon again but Dante walked around the bed

DANTEHe could only sleep a few minutes last night. Having Gloria under his roof did something to keep his brain alert. At intervals, he would go and check up on Elon to make sure that she had not snuck into his room. Knowing her, he was aware that it was not out of her nature to feed the kid lies just to get on his good side and use him for her own greed. Thankfully, Dante knew that, even if she were to try that, his son was smart enough to resist.He was sipping his second cup of coffee at the moment. Given his lack of rest, he needed it. Elon's new nurse was going to arrive at any moment so he was already in the living room waiting. From the report the agency had sent, this nurse was going to be there to tend to Elon, not to administer treatment that would help him walk again, no, but to simply help with his day to day tasks. As far as they were concerned, there was nothing they could do about the kid's condition. That sounded like complete bullshit to Dante; perhaps, it was becaus

DANTEHe was currently on his way to Genesis's apartment with her in his passenger seat. It had been a while since he had driven out this far and it weirdly felt good to be a good distance away from his house. The only thing that kept him sane in that house was Elon."Take the next left turn." Genesis instructed. "The complex would be the fifth building down the street.""Hmm." Was the response he gave to her. He was not even sure why he chose to personally help her move in but he chose to believe that he just wanted to make sure she made the trips safely. Lately, he was beginning to find her timid nature slightly funny, like how her eyes would look at everything but him when he was in her presence, or the way she played with her fingers when she was not sure how to react to something. Sometimes, she would even stumble on her own words and end up a stuttering mess. He was observant enough to notice those little things.She did not waste time to open the door and step out once he parke

GENESISShe really loved the feel of her new room. It was not too big, neither was it too small, just the perfect size for her to be cozy. Dante had given her the liberty to pick a room and she had chosen this one immediately she had stepped food in it. It just felt right. It extended out to a balcony and from there she could look out to the backyard's greenery. She knew right away that that would be her favourite spot in the house.At the moment, she still had a few boxes to unpack, but she was already tired so she decided to take a break and call Sara. But her calls kept going straight to voicemail and she needed nobody to tell her that Sara was out clubbing again. She sighed and ended the call, deciding to go out to the garden instead since she had been indoors for a while.The night air was cold and she regretted not coming out with thicker clothing's; also, she felt too lazy to go back insides to get it. So she sat on one of the benches and depended on the warmth of her palms aga

DANTELuke had shown up to Dante's house unannounced, he was the only person that could do that without Dante having a problem. Plus, Dante needed a helping hand with some work so he was more than happy to welcome Luke. They were currently busy in his home office and he should have known that Luke would not let him do his work smoothly without saying stupid things."I saw your wife on my way up." Luke said in a suggestive tone. Dante looked up and found a malicious smile on Luke's face. He sighed, dropping his pen on the table and leaning into his seat. "Don't start." He warned.Luke huffed and rested his back too, his eyes still on Dante. "So are you going to tell me about your honeymoon or not?""Luke..." Dante massaged his temples. Luke's tantric was beginning to give him a headache. "You know I married her just to keep her here for Elon.""Indeed." Luke's tone carried sarcasm. He adjusted on his seat and clamped his fingers together. He now looked serious. "Can I give you some adv
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 18. Doomed?
GENESISLana was still busy with Elon so she excused them and decided to go out for a little walk. Dante's mansion was in a secluded area so she had to walk a few minutes before she started seeing other buildings. Not too far from the estate's entrance, she saw a park and she went in and sat on a bench, watching other people go about their own activities. Seeing kids running around with their parents, families enjoying picnics, and even just people walking their pet reminded her of her life back home. Even though she was still sure that her decision to leave home was for her own best interest, she still missed her family. Underneath the dangerous lifestyle her father and brother lived, they shared a tight bond with the family. But living a life witnessing crime and atrocities was not what she wanted, it was even worse that both her father and brother never even thought of quitting that way of life. And it was so bad that she could rarely leave home, and whenever she did, bodyguards
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 19. Caught up
DANTEHe had confirmed that his mother indeed lived not too far. She had rented a room in a hotel not too far from the estate. He was not going to admit it to anyone, but the fact that she was lingering around scared him. Why was she so bent on watching his life? Well, whatever it was that she was planning, he was not going to let her go through with it. He has assigned people to report her every move to him: her locations, people she was meeting, and even things as little as what she purchased. Gloria was not going to have her way in this situation, not on his watch. Now he was unable to focus on his work and it angered him that that woman still had some kind of effect in his emotions. Out of frustration, he abandoned his work and left his home office, walking nowhere in particular, as long as it was away from his official responsibilities. It was in moments like this that he wished he had someone to just rant to, someone that would listen to him empty his head. He no longer had tha

GENESISShe couldn't even dare to blink, it felt like he was going to be right in front of her the moment she would open her eyes again. Somewhere in her heart, it felt good to see him again, but that did nothing to stop the fear that had taken over her mind. What exactly did he want? Why was he here? Did he come for her? Or he just happened to see her here? All those questions were jammed up in her head and she wished they would just stop, and that he would also disappear. But from the way he was looking at her, and that growing smirk on his lips, it was clear that he was not going to let her slip out of his radar now that he had found her. "Did you hear what I just said?" Fingers snapped before her eyes and she involuntarily blinked. "Huh?" Her eyes focused on Dante that was looking at her with just a slight bit of concern. "You said what?""We're leaving now, it's getting late." He said to her before he put Elon's binoculars in his backpack."Oh..." Genesis sighed and busied her

Hired for the Billionaire's Son Epilogue: Two Years On
GENESIS[Two years later]It was a lovely time of the year to be on the beach. While Dante and Scar Face were at the shore with Elon, she was sitting on the sand with Sara. “So when are you going to tell him?” Sara asked, squinting at her. Genesis smiled as she responded. “Tonight. I can't wait to see his reaction.”“I'm sure he'll be so happy.”“Yes, yes.” Genesis nodded. “He's wanted this since we got married.”“We've all wanted this.” Sara laughed. “I've even been picking names out.”“Oh please.” Genesis chuckled. “Knowing you, you've picked out the most outrageous ones.”“Whatever.” Sara rolled her eyes. “I'll wait until we find out the gender to tell you my top choices.”Just then, Elon began to run to her, screaming, “Mommy, look!”He had found a cute seashell and he was running to show it to her. Since he started walking again about a year ago, he barely sat down. He was either running all around, making her chase him, or he was kicking things he was not supposed to be kickin
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 60. New Beginning
DANTEWords could not describe what he felt when it was her face that he saw as he opened his eyes in the morning. Flashbacks of the previous night flooded his memory and he could not help but smile to himself.Careful not to wake her up, he slowly got out of bed and made his way to the kitchen. And it was not long before he realized that he did not know too many recipes offhand. So he brought out his phone and watched some short YouTube videos on easy breakfast recipes. He later settled for eggs, bacon, and toast that morning, making it to the best of his abilities. And together with a glass of orange juice and a napkin, he assembled everything in a wooden tray and took them up to his room. She was already up when he walked in with the tray of food. He placed it carefully on the bed and went to join her on his balcony. She was wearing the shirt that he had abandoned on the floor from yesterday, with his boxers too.He held her waist from behind and he heard her giggle. “Good morni

GENESIS Dante had not left her side since he laid eyes on her that morning. He followed her everywhere: to the kitchen, the garden and even inside her room. Now, they were both on her bed, both cuddled in each other's arms. Her head was on his chest and she could hear his heartbeat, she enjoyed listening to it. Smiling to herself, she snuggled deeper in his arms, inhaling his scent that she could not get enough of. At that moment, she wished that they would remain like that forever. Just the two of them.“Jenny?” He called out.“Huh?”“Move in with me.”She laughed and raised her head to look at him. “I already live with you, don't I?”“I mean move in with me, to my room.” She clarified. “I want you there with me. It's bigger and more comfortable. And you can make any adjustments you want, decorate it as you like.”“Are you sure you want that?” She asked him, a little bit unsure. She was aware that he was all about having his own space, so him wanting her to stay in his room was dif

GENESISMr. Del Monte and his wife left that morning. Dante had asked for some time alone with them in his office while she went about her morning routine. She was surprised when three of them came downstairs all smiles and having a friendly conversation.It was refreshing to see them get along like that, she was even happier to see that the couple had earned Dante's forgiveness. All they wanted was to be a part of their grandson's life and she was glad that Dante had given them that opportunity.They said their goodbyes and she got busy with making breakfast. Although, she was not really comfortable when Dante informed her that he had invited Luke over for breakfast. It was obvious that he no longer liked her and was convinced that she was adulterous.And it was like her thought of him caused him to materialize in their house, because he walked through the kitchen's door not too long after his thought crossed her mind. She ignored him to the best of her abilities as he just stood the
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 57. No More Lies
DANTEHis heart had been heavy since he woke up. Last night was hellish and as soon as he had gotten Elon to fall asleep, his own body had shut down too.Elon was still in deep sleep beside him. And it was understandable, given the shock that the kid had gone through yesterday. Throughout the whole thing, Elon had been quiet. It was only when Genesis walked out with her brother that the boy burst out crying, that was when Dante was reminded that his son was still in the room, and he witnessed everything first hand.He pushed the duvet off him and left the kid's room for his own. What he really needed at that moment was a cold shower to soothe his headache. Last night, his heart broke into a million pieces; now, he just felt numb and empty. Like when he had freshly lost Evelyn. Genesis had somehow ignited something in him again, but with her own hands, she ended up putting out that fire that was burning for her inside him. He thought of her and wished he had never let himself be vulne

GENESISHer heart was beating so fast that she thought it was going to jump out of her chest. She was standing still, staring at her brother with gaped lips and wide eyes. She had just met him in the estate that evening and he made it seem like he was stalling his wicked plans for her. She blamed herself, she should have known better than to believe any of those deceitful words that came out of his mouth.“Oh, Sister.” He shook his head as he took two steps forward. “You look mortified, why? Am I no longer allowed to check up on my dear sister?”She still could not bring herself to speak as it was hard for her to believe her eyes. This was the end for her, she felt it.“After conniving with Gloria, you have the guts to show up in my house?” She heard Dante speak. Rodriguez did not even look at him, his eyes were still on her. “So you have not told him who I am?” He laughed. “He still believes that I am Lorenzo?”“Genesis, what is he talking about?” Dante sounded confused and desperat

GENESISGenesis watched the terror in her best friend's eyes grow with each sentence that she spoke. Sara seemed to be even more scared than Genesis whose brother was out to get her.“Look, it's calm.” Genesis tried to assure Sara. “He'll not be able to do anything to me.”That was a blatant lie but Genesis was willing to say anything to calm her friend down.“No, it's not calm. Nothing is calm, Jenny.” Sara shook her head. “Don't you think now's the right time for your so-called help to intervene?”“We don't want to make any sudden moves.” Genesis was still lying. “You saw how everything went down the last time we tried that with my brother.”“Look, I still think we should get Dante and Matthew involved.” Sara suggested. “This situation does not seem to be improving at all. You need people that can take the due steps, Jenny.”“No, no.” Genesis refused. “I've got everything in control.”“But—”“I said everything's under control, Sara.” Genesis sighed. “You don't have to worry.”“Fine…

GENESISIt was a calm evening and she was out on a stroll. Her head had been a lot more peaceful since she decided that she would just let life take its course. Whatever happened, she was going to accept it as her fate.But it did not take too long before her legs got tired and she walked to the nearest roadside bench and sat down. She was still within their estate so there was nobody outside at the time. Usually, most people were already inside their homes at this time.It was windy and she was getting a little bit cold, she regretted her decision to leave her jacket at home. And as she sat there, watching loose pigeons fly and walk around, she wondered what her life would have been like as one of them. Actually, she wished she was one of them. She could not believe that she was at a point where she wished she was born as a freaking pigeon. But who could blame her? All she would have had to worry about was eating and reproducing, not about being kidnapped and forced to be a criminal

GENESISAaron had texted her not too long after breakfast. We wanted them to meet at that cafe again, but she insisted that they meet at a park not too far away from there as the cafe was where Luke had sighted her with Aaron at first. She did not want to take any chances of it happening again in order not to fuel Luke's suspicions.Aaron did not have a problem with meeting at the park so they agreed to meet there by four in the evening, that have her time to make lunch and dinner before it was time to meet him. All the way there, she was hoping with everything in her that he would have good news for her, that he would tell her that there was a way to get rid of her brother forever. At this point, she no longer minded if the plan involved ending her brother's life. He had put her through so much that she did not just care anymore.She parked and called him to find out where exactly in the park he was. Luckily for her, he was by the playing ground that was not too far from the entranc
