Hired for the Billionaire's Son 38. Shot
GENESIS She had managed to get Elon to take a nap not too long after Lana left the house. She took him to his room and tucked him in before she headed for Dante's home office. She was dying to know what had happened between him and Gloria, whatever had caused Gloria to cry must have been something very serious.She knocked on his door and only went in when she heard him say, “come in.”She pushed the door open and found him massaging his temples with his eyes closed. She was not surprised that the encounter with his mother had left him stressed. His eyes fluttered open and his gaze landed on her. He sighed, resting his back on his chair. “I was expecting you. I knew you'd come.”“Well, I saw Gloria leaving like she and she looked very upset, like she had been crying.” Genesis walked to the chair opposite him and took her seat, his eyes followed her every movement. “What did you tell her that got her like that?”“I only reminded her of her reality.” He shrugged lightly. “And I told h

DANTEHe did not know what had come over last night, he had almost kissed the nurse. There was something about her that kept drawing him closer and closer, to the extent that he could not even think properly. It took all his willpower to brush past her lips and whisper in her ear instead; if he had kissed her, he was sure that he would have wanted more, and that was not a place he wanted to put himself. And the night had not ended on a particularly good note, they had received bad news about the Sara woman. Now, he was following Genesis's suggestion and they were going to see her at the hospital.It was a fair distance from his home so it took almost an hour to get there. At the reception, they had asked for a Sara that as brought in last night; even after admitting that she was in there, they were not let in. It took calling Scar Face to come out and get them before they were let in. The man's eyes were red and swollen as he had not gotten a blink of sleep. Apparently, had been the

GENESISIt had been two weeks and she had still not heard any good news concerning her best friend's recovery. These days, all she did was pray and pray because that was all she could do.According to the man she had met at the hospital two weeks ago— Scar Face, as Dante liked to call him— Sara had twitched her index three days ago. When she heard the news from Dante, she was so filled with hope that her day was brighter. But now that she had not gotten any better news for three whole days, doubt was beginning to creep into her mind again. To say the least, she was scared for her friend.“Jenny?” Elon called out to her.She looked up from his legs that were glistening with oil and responded, “huh?”“You and my daddy are married, right?” The boy asked with a little frown.“Yes, we are.” She answered, wondering why the kid was asking her that all of a sudden.“Then why do you guys sleep in different rooms?” He tilted his head, looking at her intently. “Isn't a married couple supposed to

GENESISShe intentionally got Elon ready for the day extra early so that she would not have to run into Dante. Even though she had decided that she was going to forget that that kiss ever happened, she still did not know how she was going to face him. And the fact that her she could not actually stop thinking about him was not helping matters at all.She knew that he would easily find her in the backyard or garden, so after she served Elon his breakfast, she went and spent her time in her room. If he happened to knock, she would simply stay silent and pretend like she was not even in there. She seemed to be lucky that day because nobody knocked her door until she had to go and prepare lunch for Elon. At this time of the day, Dante was usually buried in his work so she had nothing to worry about. But first, she went to check on Elon to find out what he wanted for lunch.“Where have you been, Jenny?” Elon looked up from his Rubik's cube immediately she walked in his room.She sighed de

GENESISShe had not seen Dante the whole day. It was already six o'clock in the evening, almost time for dinner, and he still was nowhere to be seen.She left Elon watching cartoons in the living room and went to look for Dante in his home office. This was unusual. Before, she would not have bothered because he used to spend most of his time with the drug lords. Now, he spent most of his time in his home office and with Elon. She knocked on the door of his home office for a while and there was no response, so she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. And she was surprised to not have seen him in his seat.She walked in, searching the office with her eyes. He was not there. She knocked on the door of the ensuite, and there was still no response. She thought against checking in there because she did not want to have to find him naked. But there was a chance that he had passed out in there for some reason, so she opened the door and checked. He still was not there. This was str

GENESIS The last few days had been pretty hectic, with taking care of Elon and attending to Dante. He was doing better now but he was still slightly sick. He now spent more time with her and Elon, and less time in his office. According to him, facing work too much would have his head aching again.And El, he had been rambling about a lot of stuff since he woke up that morning. And she was there pretending to understand everything he was saying as she massaged his legs.“And my daddy has been looking at you a lot these days.” Elon dropped out of nowhere.She looked up at him fast, a deep frown on her face. “What did you say?”“That my daddy has been looking at you a lot these days.” He shrugged. “Have you not noticed that?”“He has been around us more lately.” She tried to generalize it. “So, of course, he would be looking at us more.”But the kid was not having it. “I know what I'm saying. He looks at you even when he's talking to me. Like yesterday, when I pleading with him for a pe

GENESISAll the way to the hospital, she found it hard to sit still. Every five minutes or so, she would ask Dante if they were close already. And when Dante finally pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, she almost jumped out through the car's window. She had to calm herself down and opened the door before she got out. She walked ahead of Dante and even spoke to the receptionist by herself about who they were here to see. She was aware that Dante must have been confused as hell, but that was something she was going to address later. At the moment, all she wanted was to see her best friend.Immediately she walked through the doors of the ward, she felt a wave of happiness hit her. Her eyes brimmed with tears once her eyes met with Sara's. And she would have dived to hug her friend if that did not mean that she would have to explain to Dante and Scar Face why she was doing that.Even Sara must have understood from her hesitation that she had not yet spilled the truth about her p

DANTEHe had been really suspicious of Genesis the last few days. Not for something serious, no. It was about that lady, Sara. The kind of closeness they had after barely meeting each other seemed unnatural. Genesis always talked about Sara a lot now, they had even taken to texting each other.It bugged his mind so much that he thought it wise to discuss it with Luke. “It's a woman thing. They bond over the littlest things.” That was all Luke said.Dante nodded but he still was not convinced. He took his friend's words for it and chose not to think too much of it. That was until he overheard Genesis on the phone speaking with Sara.“Do you remember when that local boy band was trying so desperately to be the it boys on campus?” Genesis had asked.He frowned. If they really had just met, how did they share a memory that went all the way back to college?He chose to remain there and listen more but it was not long after that that Genesis had ended the call, saying that she needed to fo

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
