In love with a heartless billionaire 186.
~Mirabelle~I got out of my car and made my way into the restaurant."Roman Grey," I called out to the man who looked like he was about to pick a fight with my staff any moment from now. "You were looking for me right?"He sighed, burying his hands into his pocket. "Good heavens, finally. I've been calling you but there's just this..lady answering, constantly asking me what I would like to order..."I resisted the urge to chuckle. "It's an automated call. I actually thought the reason you collected the number was so you could place order, anytime anyway from this restaurant. Was there perhaps another motive behind it?" I asked with a slight grin on my face."I um..not really. I just wanted to check up on you and say hi."I snorted. "How adoring. Come on." I led the way as I moved past him. "Let me get you something to drink."He pulled out a chair and took a seat. "Just coffee will be fine, please."I smirked. "Are you sure you don't want anything else?"He nodded. "Pretty sure about

~Mirabelle~I moved closer, walked round her, examining her. From the tip of her hair to her toes, I examined her thoroughly."You're not even that pretty." I said to her with a smile. "You don't measure up to me in anyway, Rhea Gonzalez.""How dare you?!" She lifted up her hand to land it on my face but I caught her arm right on time and glared at her."How dare you think you can come here, to my husband's house, to my house, to my matrimonial home!" I said and pushed her back with her arm, making sure to leave her staggering on her feet. "Who the hell do you think you are?" She sneered at me. "You think you're some sort of trophy? Let me remind you that you're only a replacement. My replacement.""You're wrong about that. My husband was never into you. You should know that very well by now.""He was never into me but he got married to me? He got me pregnant?!" She snickered. "You're delusional, Mira Kenton.""No. You're out of your mind. You know the reasons my husband got married

~Mariano~I carried her into our room and placed her gently on the bed. Hee hands were still wrapped around my neck tightly. "Hmm... finally. It's you." She murmured out as she closed her eyes and allowed her hands drop from my neck.A small found its way to my lips. After a moment of watching her body movements, I noticed she wasn't comfortable in the dress she was wearing and so I got up to probably look for a simple dress to change her into since she looked very tired, tired enough to take a bath.I had just arrived back into the bedroom when I noticed that she had turned in her slip, making her shirt roll up her abdomen a little. Odd.Why was her abdomen looking weird?I returned to my position on the bed and got hold of her shirt as I opted to take it off her. And then I saw it.Her swollen belly.I knew her body better than I knew the back of my palm and this was no belly fat. Quickly, I took her shirt off her, making my new discovery even clearer and more pronounced.I ran m

~Mirabelle~He rubbed his hands over my back slowly. As soon as I was done, he helped me wash up and even cleaned the spot I had vomited on in our bedroom when I was scurrying out in a hurry.I sighed and tried straightening up but I couldn't. Then I slowly lowered myself onto the floor."Belle, are you sure you're alright?"I tucked my hands into my shirt. "I told you. I ate something bad.""This isn't about what you ate, Belle. You're not okay. You've been acting strange these past few weeks. We need to see a doctor. It could be anything serious.""I told you, Mariano. It's nothing serious. It's just something bad I ate. I'm okay! I'm fine!" I said, getting up from the floor."Then why don't you want to see a doctor? Hm? If it's nothing serious, tell me why you don't want to see a doctor. Or...could it be you're pregnant?"I froze for a moment. "You don't know what you're talking about. If I'm pregnant, I would know it.""Why? Because you're a doctor?""Mariano, can you please just

~Mirabelle~ I burst into the room with Mariano following from behind as I dashed into the bathroom to puke my liver out. I had been finding it very difficult to breathe toppled with the wave of nausea ever since my meeting with Gonzalez and when I drove into our compound, he was standing there. Waiting for me. And so I just ran past him and went straight for our room. I knew he'd follow and so I just ran straight into the bathroom and tried locking the door but he was too strong. I had vomited all over the bathroom floor before I could even see the strength to hold the door any further. "That's it. I'm calling the doctor." He walked out and just before he could get hold of his phone,I grabbed him and started pleading with him. "Please don't. I'm fine now, I promise." "You're fine?" He stared at me in shock. "You're fine, Mirabelle, you're fine? You're not fine. Something is wrong with you and you're not letting anyone know about it. Why is that exactly? Tell me, huh? What exactly

~Mirabelle~"Mira?""What?!" I snapped at Mason."Are you okay? You've been acting weird ever since Mr. Gonzalez arrival here.""Don't. Say that name, please."He stared at me for seconds. "I knew it. It's him, isn't it? Mira, you have to tell your father about him. He's not to be trusted. He's nothing but a threat and danger to all our lives here.""And you think I haven't thought of that? You think I haven't thought of telling my dad? Look, Mason, it's more complicated that you think. I can't tell my dad about Gonzalez. Because not only does he hold Mariano and I by our hair roots now, he also holds dad's too. He might hurt my father now that he's so close to him and I wouldn't be able to do anything to prevent it.""So you're just gonna sit and let him wreck havoc here in KGroup?! Don't forget, you still have his psychopathic daughter to deal with."Just then an idea sparked in my mind. I smiled. "Don't worry. I have a plan. He's here because he wants to threaten me by using KGroup

~Mirabelle~"Thanks for showing up." I said to Ryder the moment he opened his car and was about to get in. "It really means a lot to me, you know."He smiled down at me. "I'm glad I was able to help.""Hey." We heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Gen. I smiled and hugged her. "Hey. I'm the happiest you're here today."She tucked a strand of hair off my face. "It's the least I can do for my twin sister. Glad to be a part of... KGroup."I smiled. "I'll introduce you to everyone tomorrow. Gonzalez would be...a little shocked if not surprised. Think you can haunt the hell out of him?""Oh you underestimate me a lot, twin sister." A smirk was playing on her lips when she moved past me and got into the car with Ryder."Are you sure you don't wanna catch a flight with me? LA is like an hour from here!" I said, just as Ryder started the engine of the car."Don't worry! Ryder and I have an unfinished business to tend to somewhere around here!" With that, the car drove off.I was

*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
