~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

~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

*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
In love with a heartless billionaire ~1~
~Laurel~I could hear the gasps and the awes from the crowd. I could hear their murmurings and their whisperings.It has always been a part of my life. I learned to live with it. I had learned to live with the fact that no matter what I do, I would always be a subject for the public to discuss. Barely had my privacy. And it doesn't stop scaring the hell out of me because I knew that someday, a secret I had spent years in hiding would come into light. And I wouldn't like that all. I hated even the smallest idea of it. So to stop these insecurities, I vowed to clean up even the tiniest of mess that comes close to my secret. Because one thing's for sure, I hated everything and everyone that encounters the likes of Kurt Kenton.The secretary smiled and held the door out for me as I walked into her boss's office. She stopped me on my tracks, holding a pen and paper out for me. "Please.. I.. I have always been a big fan of yours."I feigned out a smile, taking hold of the pen and paper, sig

~Laurel~As soon as the meeting was over, I marched over to where Mr Lewis was seated."I can't believe you talked me into this and the worst part of it all was that I agreed to it. I just can't believe it.""I'm sorry, Laurel, I really am.""I don't accept apologies in my territory." A voice growled behind us. I whirled around and saw fierce blue eyes shooting dagger glares at my direction. "Neither should apologies be accepted or even mentioned in here."I clicked my tongue. "And who the fuck are you?""Crude languages are also not accepted here, Hyde. I'm sure you have a husband to return home to, and that is if you're not fucking around with just anyone."I clenched my jaw in anger. "Don't talk to me that way.""Why? You think you're some hot shot celebrity? Or no." He lowered his eyes and raised them up to meet me again. "You think you've grown some guts just because you mingle with men like Cooper and Kingston.""Don't you dare involve my friends in this.""Then try as much as po

~~~~~~~~~~ ~Laurel~Encircling my hand around the glass, I downed my last shot of tequila. The tears were still streaming down my face and obviously there was nothing I could do about it. Kurt had insulted the little bit of pride I had for myself. And I felt hurt for allowing him do so.A man slid on the empty chair beside me. "Hey beautiful," He said covering my hand with his. "I've been watching you and I can tell that you're in a bad shape. Something went wrong? I can make you feel so better."I staggered up immediately. "Leave me alone! Stay the fuck away!" I shouted loud enough for him to hear, got hold of my purse and walked out of the club.When I had gotten to where my car was, I slumped on the floor and wept silently. When I was done, I opened my car and got in, trying to start my car but unfortunately it didn't want to start. I tried for another three times but still yet no result. It would start and then stop. I got out and tried to check what went wrong when my eyes caugh

~Laurel~During my shoot in Paris, all I could think about was Kurt humiliating me in front of those people. Didn't he know that I could drag him to court for such a thing?Probably no. And I would show him how much power I had on my own without anyone's support.After modeling for Louis Vuitton and posing for Vogue's cover, I came back home for a break. After some few days, I would go back to Paris to continue my shooting and probably not return till weeks later when we might have finished with the shooting.I was having a dinner date with my boyfriend, temporary boyfriend, Jason Reece today at Ritz Carlton's hotel and suites. I had taken my time to set my look and look more like the most beautiful woman I was. Even in a red loosed gown that didn't give all my curves' secret away, I still looked like I would make a man drool all night. The moment I got out, people crowded me like flies and I was finding it difficult to push my way in and like always, Leon had to make the way. I fire
In love with a heartless billionaire ~5~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Laurel~I waited.Slowly his eyes fluttered open and the first thing he did was push me and I fell to the ground, hitting my head to the floor."You had dust under that table, didn't you?" He asked, getting up to his feet.I got up to my feet, holding my hand to my head. "Is that a way to say thank you, Kurt?""Don't you dare call me that.""At least I got to know what I wanted to know." I said with a smirk."You'd stoop this low?""I'd stoop lower to get anything I want. You said my name didn't ring a bell. But I can tell that you even remember the very first day we met.""You made the biggest mistake by doing this, Laurel. You could have killed me.""Then you would have died. Men like you die, Kurt Kenton." I moved closer to him. "What are you so afraid of? Why don't you admit that you still have those feelings for me?""Feelings? What feelings?""You remember me very well, Kurt. And it's no coincidence that you bought an organization that has a partnership with me. It

~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.

~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
