In love with a heartless billionaire 169.
~Mirabelle~When I woke up, I saw someone staring at me. My visions were blurry so I couldn't make out the face but I could tell it was Mariano. Just before I could lean in and kiss him, I felt a soft slap on my face and that was when I realized I was actually going to kiss Gen."The fuck you saw him in your dreams?!" She asked me, laughing.I groaned. " I didn't only see him. I did a lot of things to him.""You had a sex dream?" A small smile curled up at the side of her mouth when she saw the look on my face. "It wasn't only a dream, it came to pass, didn't it?"I nodded, biting my lips. "I didn't know what came over me this morning. Mariano is slowly turning me into someone I'm not.""At least he doesn't deprive you. He gives it to you however and whenever you want it. Come on," she climbed off the bed and reached out for me. "Let's go make breakfast together. I miss having you around."I groaned, falling back on the bed. "I don't think I can get up. It feels as if my body has been

~Mirabelle~I had confessed everything to Mason today. I had held it all in for a long time now that I couldn't hold it back anymore. I was going insane. I needed to tell someone. I needed an assurance. And I was so grateful I got that from Mason. He didn't judge me for any of my actions and he even told me to give Mariano a second chance. He didn't judge me for having misplaced feelings for Kidd neither did he judge Mariano for everything that has happened. I was so glad to have him as my best friend even though I know I might be endangering his life as well, he took that risk by listening to me. And I was grateful. I was glad. It felt as if something has been lifted off my chest.Taking off my shoes, I walked in the living room. The whole room was quiet when I walked in and I was sure Annie must have gone home since it was so late already.Sliding off my skirt, blouse and bra, I was left only in my underwear as I plopped down on a couch to relax, my eyes closing. I had only closed m

~Mirabelle~I needed someone to lean on at the moment. No matter how much I tried to deny it, it was obvious, I was slowly losing it. I was glad Mason didn't push me away when I appeared here at his doorsteps, three days ago. At first, he did indirectly but at least, he didn't let me leave. He was the only person who knew my situation with Mariano and I was glad he didn't judge me for it. I also hope I wasn't endangering his life by staying at his condo he no longer lives at to prevent Mariano from tracking or stalking me.I was just fixing myself some toasts when the door opened and Mason walked in."Hey.""Hey.""I got you some supplies." He said and placed a grocery bag on the dining table as I sat down to eat."Mason, I've told you that there is no need for you doing all these for me---""I already told you it's a pleasure."I stared at him for a few seconds. "Thanks. Wanna join me?" I asked him, pouring myself a glass of juice."No, I already had dinner before coming here. And um

~Mariano~She had fallen asleep before we arrived. Scrambling through her purse, I pulled out her key and carried her out of the car. On getting to her unit, I inserted the key and carried her inside. After I had placed her on the bed, I untied her hair and stared at her legs that had bruises under. Same goes for her knees.I got up and moved to the kitchen where I switched on the cooker and placed a kettle of water on it. After that, I scurried to the bathroom to prepare a hot bath for her. As soon as I was done, I moved back to the bedroom, where I saw her sitting up and rubbing her fingers over her forehead."You have an headache?"She nodded.I sighed."It's a good thing I brought some aspirins. Go take a bath. I'll prepare some food for you so you'd take it along with the drugs. Eaten?"She shook her head.I sighed again. I didn't want to get mad at her now for totally ignoring her health and wellbeing. "Just go. I'll fix something for you to eat.""Can't stand on my own."In a

~*Mirabelle*~"Mira? Mira. Mira!"I snapped back to reality and saw a frown forming on mom's face. "What was that?""What was what?" I stared at her blankly."You zoned out. That's very unlike you. Tell me, what's wrong?"Uh--nothing?""You know you can't lie to me right? I'm your mother, remember?""Mom, I.. I want to ask you something.""Go on.""Have you ever thought of someone else while you were with dad?" Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets and I was forced to add, "Not in that way though...just like um.. have you ever just like...have misplaced feelings? Like for a past lover or something? I knew I shouldn't be asking you this. Don't answer it. Nevermind.""A few times."I was surprised when she answered. "What?""I've thought about some of the guys I've been with before. The ones I was very close to and how different my life would have been if I had chose them instead of Kurt. Listen to me, Mirabelle," she covered my hand on the table with hers. "No other man is worth

*~Mirabelle~*"Oh, Aunt Belle, I don't think I can do this."Madison told me as I handed her a tray of food. "He's going to be so mad! Remember how I treated him when I first got here?""Oh come on. Mariano doesn't know how to stay mad at someone for long.""What am I going to say? That I prepared this?""No, we prepared this. Don't worry, he's not going to scold you, I promise. I'll just help you knock and when he says, 'come in', you'll go in and drop the food on his table. Don't forget to do the bow before you exit, is that clear?""Oh okay. Let's do this. The worst he can do is scold me and he's not going to do that right?"Few minutes later,"Out! And don't you ever come back here!"Madison hurried out in tears with the tray of food. I quickly took it from her."See, I told you he's still mad at me."I frowned. He shouldn't have shouted at her like that. "It's okay. Let's just leave him alone for now. Come on, let's go." We were already heading down the stairs when we heard him ca

~Mirabelle~I didn't know how long I had been lying on this bed but I wasn't prepared of getting up from it anytime soon. I could stay days, weeks or months even on this bed without moving an inch because that is the only alternative I'm seeing here into getting out of my problems."I think it's time we put an end to this relationship. Maybe it would be better this way. For us to go our separate ways. For us to live our separate lives. Maybe this is what's best."Tears rolled down my eyes as I buried my face deeper into the sheets. I didn't know my son's had gotten so loud because the next thing I felt was a hand on my back."It's going to be fine, baby. Everything will be okay.""No, it won't mom. It's over now. This is all my fault. If I had tried to reach out early then none of this would have happened. It's my fault that Mariano and I...are going our separate ways. I don't know...mom, why is all this bad things happening to me? Am I cursed? Why do I keep falling for the wrong peop

~Mirabelle~I didn't utter a word to anyone. I just barged in and went straight to my room. I wasn't in the mood today a word to anyone but I guess that wasn't going to stop Gen from saying anything.I went straight to the bathroom, lifted my shirt up and turned my aide to mirror. Ha. There it was. My little bump. I ran my hand over it as chills ran down my spine still unable to register the fact that I was actually carrying a life human inside me. A baby girl. My very own little princess. I thought I would be my dad's princess forever but here I was, standing with another princess inside of me. I still couldn't believe it was real."Beautiful, isn't it?"I gasped, quickly dropping my shirt. "Uh..mom. How long have you been standing there?""Almost ten minutes?""Oh. So you do know now." I said and leaned over the sink. "Mom, I'm so confused. I don't know what to do. I'm just...I don't think I deserve this, to be honest, mom. I feel like this is too much for me. I don't deserve this

*One year later*~Genevieve~"Hey. You ready?"Mason asked me as he walked into the room."Do I look okay in this dress?" I said, referring to the floral gown I was wearing. "I feel... really heavy, you know. I think this baby is using my energy to do kicks, don't you think?" I asked him, placing my hand over my eight months and two weeks old belly.Mason smiled and walked over to me. "You look beautiful, darling. And besides, I'm always here to lend you my strength whenever you feel too tired to carry our little Gael." He knelt before my bump and caressed it over the skimpy dress I was wearing. "Hey buddy, don't give mommy a hard time, okay? We know you wanna come out so badly but patience, little buddy, patience." He looked up at me and I smiled. Then he got up and closed his mouth over mine. "I love you, Genevieve Kenton King."I smiled as I wrapped my arms around him. "I love you too.""Now come on. Before we arrive late for your dad's birthday dinner." He held my hand as walked o

~Genevieve~Just like that. I couldn't believe it. She was gone.Gone forever. We weren't going to see her ever again.Some of the soldiers that had ran into the smoke, came out few minutes later with Gonzalez men. One was half-dead, the other was injured but very much alive. They put them both in the van and walked around to see dad. He was saying something in low tune to dad when another set of military men walked out of the already burnt and collapsed building with a burnt, unrecognizable body that seemed to have ropes attached to it. A body that was perhaps tied. Then I recalled Mirabelle being tied up before Ryder threw me out."No! My Mira...." Mom was already shaking in tears as they placed the body on a stretcher. Dad dropped to the ground in tears, mom was wailing profusely, Mariano remained stiff and unable to move, Mason had tears rolling down his eyes...none of us could even touch the body. It was Natasha who mustered up the courage to run to where the body was and embrace

~Mirabelle~"What are we going to do? He's going to kill her!" Mason exclaimed out of frustration as he plopped down on the couch, running his fingers through his hair. Mom has been trying to calm him down ever since. But it seems all her words of assurance were falling on deaf ears."My men are searching the entire city as we speak." Dad who had been on the phone came back few minutes later to the living room and said. "They couldn't have gone far. We'll get them in no time.""Hey," Mariano knelt in front of me and places his hand on lap. "Are you alright?"I shook my head."Belle, listen to me, this is not your fault.."I was trying to hold back my tears. "Yes, it is.""No, it's not. Gonzalez has been planning his escape from prison for a long time now. And it so happened to fall on the same time period of your return so none of this is your fault, okay?""Grandpa, are you going to give me to him? The bad guy?" Natasha who was in mom's arms asked Kurt who had been restless."Of cour

~Mirabelle~"Mama, where are we? What is this place?" Natasha asked me as Mariano pulled the car to a stop. I got out and so did Natasha, who looked inquisitive, looking around the place."Hello, Natasha."She turned to stare at the people standing few metres away, her whole face lightening up. "Grandma! Grandpa!"In a blink of eye, she was running into dad's open arms. "My lil baby. She looks just you, Mariano." Dad said to Mariano who was standing beside me as he ruffled her hair playfully, picking her up from the floor."I'm quite heavy, you know. Mama feeds me with good stuff." Natasha said jokingly."Well then, it's a good thing I have quite the strength then." Dad smiled as we walked into the house."Camilla," I greeted Camilla who was standing with the other servants. "I see you're still here." I said, moving into her arms. "Thank you.""Always, Mirabelle, always." She responded and we pulled away. "I'll make coffee and some toast."I nodded and she walked away. "It feels good

~Genevieve~He wasn't in bed with me when I woke up.I got up, stretched and slipped on his shirt. Then I got up and went on a mission to go look for him.I heard noise coming from kitchen area and do I just decided to follow my instincts. To my surprise, he was standing in front of the cooker, flipping something in a pan, shirtless in an apron and in a pair of sweatpants. He turned around and our gaze met."Hey. Good morning."I smiled as I made my way toward him. "Good morning. You're up early.""Yeah, I got up to make breakfast. Come on, have a seat. Breakfast is ready."I did as he told me and sat put as he served me. Breakfast was bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes and maple syrup.As I ate, I noticed he was stealing glances at me. "What?""You're very beautiful, Gen. Very very."I snorted, hoping that was a joke. "I'm sure I look like a mess.""You look breathtaking."I met his gaze and he smiled. Then he got up from where he sat and walked around to where I was, then to my surpris

~Mirabelle~A lot of people were hovering over me when I woke up. Mom, Mariano, two women, a man, Natasha...."Natasha." I called out gently and she was the first to notice as she ran into my outstretched arms."Mama! Mama, you scared the hell out of us all." She was already crying as I brushed the tears away from her face. "Mama, we were so worried...I was so worried. Promise that you won't ever make us worry like that again."I smiled and pulled her close, her head was resting gently on my chest. "I'm fine, sweetie. I'm just...scared." I admitted softly."But why are you scared, mama? We are here for you, remember? Don't be scared, okay? Daddy is here for you. I am here for you. Grandma is here for you. Don't ever feel scared, okay? You're my best friend. I wouldn't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to you. I can't ever live without you, mama."I couldn't help chuckling as I wrapped my arm tightly over her. "Oh my sweet little red haired baby. I love you so much my darling

~Mirabelle~I stood there and watched as Genevieve expressed how she felt about Mason to Ryder. Ryder on the other seemed to be furious but he looked as if he was holding back from lashing out all on his anger on Genevieve. The moment he walked out, I decided to stay for a while. This was bad. I should be with her right now. She had just made a life-changing decision that would probably require a shoulder to lean on and here I was, hiding behind the wall.All of a sudden, she stood up. She glanced at the mirror and then stopped. But just before she could turn around, a hand grasped mine, pulling me into the shadows."What on earth do you think you're doing?""Mariano, she's my sister. I should be in there with her right now. I should--""Then what's stopping you?"I stared into his eyes."Go on. Go to her. She's your sister, right? She needs you. You should be with her right now. So why are you here?""I--I don't think that's a very good idea. She's down right now, I can't afford to a

~Mirabelle~The congregation was filled to the brim. The people present were mostly friends, elites, actresses, musicians, business elites and government officials from all over the world. From where I was seated, I could see Mariano, my friends, Gabriel and even mom. Natasha and I were both at the back row. We didn't want to draw much attention so we just hid there.Then there was Ryder at the altar, waiting like the gentleman he was. Although, there was something about Ryder. Something off about him, he didn't seem quite the man for Genevieve anymore.And then, there was the bride. Walking towards the altar with dad's arm strapped to hers. On getting to the front row, she quickly hugged mom and Gabriel before proceeding to kneel in front of the altar with her soon to be husband. After a short prayer, they were back on their feet as they proceeded to the ring part and then the exchanging of vows.Well, now it was time to declare them husband and wife."If anyone have reason why these

~Mirabelle~I was trying out the dresses, mom had brought earlier for Gen's wedding tomorrow. There was a silver splayed gown with emeralds, a beautiful black straight one with deep cleavage curve and split up the right thigh and a pink short one with diamonds stashed all over. According to her, the theme of the wedding was black and pink, if I wanted to fit in to be noticed, I'd wear pink but if I wanted to remain anonymous and hidden, I'd wear black.At first I didn't want to go. Mom and Mariano were the only ones who knew about my existence. Mariano had argued with mom about telling dad about me but she had slid him off, telling him the consequences that would result from my dad abruptly finding out about my existence. According to her, she would wine and dine him after Gen's wedding then tell him about me. As for now, I still have to remain hidden and try as much as possible to apply heavy makeups contrary to my skin tone, wear sunglasses and colored wigs. That way, they would nev
