In the Billionaires' Web Second meeting.
EVANGELINE."NO, NO, NO!" I yelled out loud as I dropped my phone on the bed next to me. On a lovely Saturday like this one, on which I'd made plans to sleep in, I was met the most devasting call of my life.So devastating that I felt bike rise in my throat immediately. It was simpler when Marcus called and explained to me an accident that he'd gotten into. It was a car, fine. How expensive could it be to the point of scaring him out of his mind?I should have asked him the model before another call came in from a certain Mr. Isaac asking if I'd be chanced to talk about the repair process. That wasn't all, and he also mentioned the name of the car to be a Bugatti.I took my phone again and typed hastily. "Bugatti la Voiture noire," I muttered in the most ridiculous accent I could ever come up with, and the search popped up, feeding my eyes with results I wasn't sure I wanted to see.I scrolled through the search feeds and saw several photos of the vehicle in question alongside the wor

EVANGELINE.I pulled out another sweatpant from the myriad of choices happily showcasing themselves in my wardrobe. I flung it to Harper on the bed, and she dropped her phone, repositioning herself as she looked at it.Harper squinted. "You're gonna wear this?" She threw it back to me. "Pick something better, Mrs Mismatched! I told you the family is kind of a big deal. My friend wouldn't reveal their last name till you get there."Yes, I applied for the sitting job— after making up certain skills that I may or 'may not' possess. It shouldn't be hard since I have babysat a few times. Only the size was different."Miss! Do I look like a Mrs!? Why is everyone calling me that?"Harper shrugged. "I don't know. Everyone assumes every gorgeous lady is a Mrs. It lies in the elegance.""Oh, that's better. I feared I was getting old." I picked up the sweatpant and examined it again. "This is my best though. Why do you make it seem like it's the worst thing ever?""Probably because it is!" Harp

EVANGELINE."White? Axel White? The- White??" I asked, bewildered, barely trying to hide my confusion. The walls seemed to shrink around me, and I felt like the most miniature thing in the room.Axel, with his hands still in the towel, turned around and came to sit opposite me. His eyes ushered me back into my seat. I picked up the purse I didn't realize I had dropped and clutched it tight."So…" Axel's hoarse voice broke through the silent air. He finally pulled the towel off his hair and placed it on the couch, then he reached the table next to him and picked up the piece of paper on it. "Did you lose the glasses? I must say…that was the only reason I didn't recognize you.""Uh-?"He studied the paper. "The passport you applied with. You look like a nerd in it, contrary to the wild personality I was opportune to meet, Evangeline.""That w-was uhm-" I gulped hard. For no fucking reason, I could feel the heat creeping up my face, and I hoped it wasn't obvious. "That picture has exis

AXEL.Today was a Monday, and as ridiculous as the scheduling sounded, it was the day my father had chosen to always have a family dinner. Ever since that arrangement had been made, I'd always found ways to run away from it.I was irked by the sight of him. It made no sense at all. He had a house with my mother where he was in an immeasurable amount of comfort but still chose to make ludicrous arrangements like this one.Leaving today wouldn't be possible since we needed to talk about Esther and her newly found nanny, whose face had become imprinted in the walls of my mind. Even though our interaction was the shortest, something stuck. Evangeline seemed like my newest escapade; I'd settle that when she resumes her work by the weekend.If she was easy enough, I could have my way with her. No, I would have my way with her. There wasn't a girl who was different when I was involved. Even the ones that say they are different turned out the same.The only addition was how much of an excitin

EVANGELINE.Day one as a nanny to a woman that I barely even know. Google had told me to dress smartly after countless hours of research. I needed perfection. Something to soften up that rigid woman.It also stated that I picked a friendly color to lessen the tension in the atmosphere. The color white, especially, but Mrs. White hated white, and I began to wonder how much more was going to be different about dealing with her. She gave me the vibes of an older version of Marilyn Monroe, except with severe mental issues, but I do not judge.So I chose baby pink, a jumpsuit with slightly off shoulders yet comfy. I've had it in my wardrobe for a while, and it was safe to say it suited me perfectly— according to my personal stylist, Harper. With unbelievable speed, a week had passed since the deal had been finalized. Mr. Isaac reached out to me via email yesterday, again, asking for my schedule and that his boss would want to meet me. That made me feel a little queasy, especially after th

AXEL."Axel? What are you doing?" I heard a familiar voice call out, and I turned with the dismantled, smoking microwave in my hand. I'd asked the maids to leave because, except for dinner with 'the' family, I didn't enjoy eating anything made in the house for extremely weird reasons that even I wasn't aware of yet. I go to restaurants and eat well, and I cook some easy meals by myself, to my taste. I turned to Evangeline and read the shock off her face. Too bad she was seeing me bare and shirtless again. I wondered what that image reminded her of. I strip her with my eyes every single time I set my sights on her.I placed the microwave down slowly. I had unplugged it already. What remained was bringing out the ghost of the plastic container I had forgotten inside of it."Oh my god! What are you doing?" Evangeline exclaimed again as she registered the sight in her head. She turned around the cabinet with her hand over her nose to meet me.I winced, embarrassed. I didn't want to expl

EVANGELINE.His face lit up upon her arrival, and I was shocked beyond words, bile rising in my throat as the lady called out to Axel, thereby cutting off our conversation, or whatever that talk was. Like a person who walked out of the Barbie movie, she was. Pale skin, straight blonde hair, and a dress that seemed like the inspiration was taken from photos of the milky way. She posed by the doorway, her hands resting on her hips while she wore a luscious smile to draw him in.I absorbed her thin, wiry frame and how elegant it made her look, although her face had been baked. She was beautiful— and it made me feel queasy. Why did I feel queasy!?A smile snaked Axel's lips as he looked at her, then at me, reading the shock off my face— I tried to hide it, but my lips remained parted. Why was I even shocked? I had nothing to do with his business. Still, as I told myself that, I couldn't shake off that bitter feeling that blossomed in my chest.I threw him a questioning look contrary to

EVANGELINE. What the hell!? A gasp escaped my throat, followed by the overwhelming feeling of fear and how it slipped its claws into my chest and grabbed me, rendering me helpless before him.I fought to move or at least say something, but the words remained stuck in my throat. Asher looked at me like he knew I needed time to register his presence at my doorstep. How did he even find me?Did he think I was going to run away without compensating him? That must be why he'd come all the way here. I titled my head and looked down the hallway, frantic and desperate to find the police or, worse, patiently waiting to drag me off in handcuffs."Are you going to…say something?" He quizzed, his orbs boring into mine."Eva? Is there a problem?" I heard Harper call out. It took me a few seconds to register that I had to provide a response.I cleared my throat, "No, N- no, it's nothing I can't handle. I'd…be here for a while," I said in a rush. With immediacy, I stepped out and closed the door b

In the Billionaires' Web How our story ends.
AXEL. (Final)Asher would get married tomorrow, although it doesn't seem like he's planning on it. He'd vanished into the thin air, and our parents had been worried for a few days.It wasn't like they hadn't realized he really didn't want to do it. He'd told them several times. Now, I was charged with the responsibility of finding him, but to no avail. I barely even knew where he used to be, not to talk of successfully guessing his hideout.I had one last place in mind, and I'd made it my last because a part of me never wanted to believe that it was possible. He couldn't be with Evangeline, right? She'd specifically told us not to contact her anymore.I still did, as frequently as I could, to make sure she knew I was still waiting. I didn't know what to do, and I very much wanted to respect her decision, too. It would be so wrong of me to intrude. Still, I thought about her every day.Every minute, she was on my mind, and I kept wondering how she was doing. If she was fine, if she ate

ASHER.It's been a few days. The doctors only told me that Marcus had been discharged although when I reached out to his teachers, they confirmed that he hadn't resumed school yet, which meant he was with Evangeline here.I wouldn't blame her if she didn't want me close to him, but I did want to know how Marcus was doing. We had left the hospital in a hurry on Evangeline's request, so I didn't have the chance to be there for him the way I wanted to, and that hurt so much. I dropped my suitcase on the chair and fell onto the couch. It was a long day at work today and it was even worse because I couldn't concentrate on the things I had to do. It was almost as though I had detached from the world around me. It terrified me so much.It hadn't been up to a minute since I walked in when the door opened again. The low creaking sound forced me to open my eyes, and I saw Mercury and my mother walk in. I sighed tiredly, already frustrated by the discussion that hadn't even begun yet.I didn't

EVANGELINEMarcus was now conscious. I was the first person he saw and recognized after he opened his eyes yesterday. There was no greater joy. The moment I realized that he was fine, half the stress I had been feeling melted into nothing.Now, he was asleep, and I was back to the unfortunate hospital chair, swallowed by my thoughts again. It wasn't a bad thing sometimes. I couldn't help but imagine what I'd have been like if Marcus hadn't opened his eyes.I was dotting my 'Is' and crossing my 'Ts,' doing everything that needed to be done before I began a new chapter. Closure might seem far, but it was worth the try.I informed Harper about the accident last night but told her not to bother coming since Marcus was getting better. I could handle that much by myself now. I already sent the brothers off yesterday, seeing as their presence did my heart more harm than good.Asher was more reluctant to go, judging from the kind of relationship he had with Marcus, and I couldn't blame him.

EVANGELINE.Asher and I were on the same hospital chair, waiting for the results from the blood transfusion. Axel was still in, and waiting for him was the most tortuous thing I'd ever had to deal with.We sat in silence. I was so overwhelmed with sadness, and it gnawed at my chest. Asher, being a person who always read the room, stuck with the silence. My legs wouldn't stop shaking, and I couldn't seem to stop shedding tears either.My palms were pressed together in a prayer. I broke the silence by speaking first. "They said…it was on the football field…""Hm-hm," Asher nodded, his gaze was fixed in the empty space."He—" I took a pause to catch my breath. "He slipped and fell and—" hit his head. I was supposed to add that, but my mouth wouldn't make the words. I couldn't seem to believe that it was Marcus and he'd ever go through something this terrible."I…called him the night before," Asher said, "And…we had this…chess tournament after which he told me…"Do you think I should try

EVANGELINE"Where is he!?" I shouted again, and Asher was looking just as perplexed as I was. I turned to him. "Haven't you seen him since you got here?""I haven't, Evangeline," He responded tersely. "They didn't let me.""What do you mean they didn't let you?" Axel intercepted. "You haven't seen him, then why are you even here? What did the doctor say?"Asher huffed, "Well, I guess I should have barged into the fucking room then! They didn't let me see him! It had barely been fifteen minutes since I got here. All I know is the ward he is!""Can you two shut up and just show me the ward?!" I shouted as I walked down the hallway at an increased pace and they followed me. This was the worst time for them to be arguing. Asher overtook and led the way, then pointed to a ward as he continued down the hall. "This one."Oh god! Oh god! I was panicking, and my entire body shook on its own. What did the poor child do to deserve something like this happening to him? What exactly happened? Ho
In the Billionaires' Web The unexpected
EVANGELINE.We were meeting at a restaurant not very far from my apartment. I texted to meet up and scheduled it for today. Sitting in the restaurant had been a chore of its own. I seem to be the center of attention for no reason at all.Then I remembered that there was an art ik about me flying around. One that somehow hadn't seen the light. I wondered if Asher bothered to deny the rumors or if he just left them to linger and cause more hurt.It was weird how I had earlier thought something could work out between all three of us. I'd been hesitant to let go of my relationship with them, but I have decided what I thought was best for us. There wasn't a way I could be with Axel if Asher still harbored those feelings. His drunken call last night terrified me.I hadn't taken him to be the kind who drank. I figured I should draw a line and fast, no matter how much it killed me.Aside that, I'd been hurt way too much by Axel that I couldn't see past it. People didn't just spring up with a
In the Billionaires' Web Drunk
ASHERAfter hearing of the impromptu meeting Axel had set up with the shareholders, I couldn't hold back the anger I felt for him. As the acting head of the organization, I had the right to be aware of any meeting to take place.It was as though he'd gone behind my back to do it on purpose, and somehow, Axel had also managed to incite pity in their minds. Rumors about him spread like wildfire in the office. A lot of people were on his side, and they felt sorry for him since he'd been in the shadows for so long.Do they even know what he'd been doing in the shadows or how much I'd cleaned up after him? I doubt he mentioned any of that. I doubt he mentioned how he got wasted, got into trouble, and had fights that landed him in police custody on late nights. He must have forgotten to tell them that.He must have left out the part where I wasn't given the chance to be a child all so I could fill in for his inefficiency. How I was made to grow up earlier than I should, so I could jump into

AXELThe sun had just begun its ascent into the morning sky as I strode into the headquarters of the company. I'd spent the whole of last week getting settled in last week. It was finally time to do something differently, to set the path I wanted.I've had this thought, but it got worse since the article about Evangeline and Asher hit the net. The amount of affluence he had that made people so interested in his business— I wanted to have it, too. A part of me believed it was possible with the right amount of work.I just hoped Evangeline took me back when she noticed my effort. She hadn't been responding to my texts, nor had she returned any of my calls. It took all my willpower not to camp outside her apartment like I always had since she'd already warned me against it. I missed her so much. It felt like there was a hole in my chest.Each step I took echoed through the polished marble floors of the grand lobby, a stark contrast to the weight that pressed down on my shoulders. Today m

EVANGELINEMy patience wore thin as Axel's mother continued to push me to accept her offer and disappear from her sons' lives. The condescension in her tone and the dismissive way she spoke of my feelings for Axel grated on my nerves.Unable to contain my frustration any longer, I leaned forward and said through gritted teeth, "Can I let you in on a little secret, Mrs. White?""Oh, please!" She rubbed her forehead, frustrated. "There's more to this!? The whole thing makes me so uncomfortable already!" "Hm," I nodded reluctantly, ready to burn everything to the ground with a smile planted on my face. "I'm pregnant, and it's for Axel." It didn't take me too much to spill the words since I was already tired of her insensitivity. "Before you say the next thing on your mind, I think it's imperative for you to know that I did try to get rid of the child…my child for your son's happiness, but…that didn't work out for me, just like everything else!"Her reaction was instantaneous, her eyes w
