Loved by the billionaire “I thought so”
The Island was full of influential men and women. They were so wealthy that they had a private island. The sight was very familiar as Catherine reminisced about the fundraiser for Nigel’s campaign. He was back, and so was his massive ego. He promised not to tell Stanford that Catherine was around and working for Donovan, for obvious reasons. His presence still irked her. Breathing the same air as him was a horrible experience for her. Catherine was still grateful and hoped for the best. Donovan had finally asked her to be his girlfriend, “focus on the good parts Cathy,” she whispered to herself. “Brace yourself,” Donovan’s voice pulled her out of her reverie, “it’s going to be a long day.”“I’ll try my best. What’s the plan?”“Well for starters, try to talk to as less people as possible. Keep your distance and have fun Cathy, you deserve it,” he pleads knowing how rigid she can be around new people. Of course none of the people present were new to her but they weren’t friends either

“Run, run,” that was what the voice in her head whispered anytime something went wrong. Solitude was always the solution for everything. This time she decided to run to a more familiar location because running from work wasn’t going to be a practical solution to her problems. She still had a contract with her boss and definitely couldn’t afford getting sued. The job she did came with benefits and a steady paycheck was one of them. It had been long time since she had been back. In fact Catherine never imagined a day where his would return to her home town. “Will I run into her?” Catherine wondered as she pulled her luggage through the vast airport. There was no way on earth she could run into her mother at the airport the day she decides to come back. In no world would that be a coincidence. It could definitely be her father trying to get them to talk again. Ever since Catherine learnt how to talk, she’s been her own captain sailing her ship wherever she pleased. Her mother was the

Donovan knew a day would come where all his sins would catch up to him. His open declaration had steered up sleeping waters. All the girls he ever dated for money and influence had formed an undefeatable team. If things continued this way the company would be reduced to nothing. “What are you thinking about?” Catherine asked. Her voice pulled him out of his reverie. For a couple of weeks Donovan had been in deep thought. With everything that had been happening, he still had zero regrets. With all this, Kenny was nowhere to be seen. He went to Catherine’s apartment to take all her things. Since then, he and Teresa couldn’t take their eyes off each other. Catherine moved into his apartment. The press had been hovering round her for weeks. It took a lot of begging before she finally agreed to move in. News outlets couldn’t stop talking about the Cinderella story, calling Catherine a poor girl from the slums. Many of her neighbors spread their own narrative. Stanford on the other ha

Catherine paced the floor of her apartment. She had thought about this for a while but finally got the courage to do it. He didn’t give her a straight answer. His evasiveness said it all, Donovan had cheated on her. With both hands fixed behind her, she continued her repetitive walk. Donovan had gone to work so she had the apartment all to herself. Her heart was slowly breaking. Even after three weeks she couldn’t get his response out of her head. Since then, she hadn’t been comfortable and he knew it. She wouldn’t let him touch her, even when he smile at her she responded with a wry smile. He kept receiving calls each day. When she asked who it was, he would say it was work. He was clever enough to edit the name of the caller each time to match his employees or colleagues. If she hadn’t have answered the call that day, she wouldn’t have been able to guess that it was Lily. “The call, it couldn’t have been fake. Why am I trying to convince myself otherwise?” she thought to her hers

Donovan sat in front of the monitor, observing cautiously. It had now become his everyday routine, watching her. He wanted to know what Catherine was doing at all times. No doubt, he trusted her, but her recent change in attitude got him scared. The CCTV installed in the apartment taught him some of the things he knew about Catherine. Of course she was oblivious to that fact. How could he tell her there were cameras installed in the apartment? They were there before she moved in so he didn’t quite see the need. After the incident with Lily, he knew she was suspicious. Truly he didn’t remember anything that happened that night. The last thing he saw was Lily hanging above him. When he got to the hotel, he hand down a couple of bottles. Definitely, his memories were fuzzy. He remembered hearing Lily’s voice at the bar, after then, Donovan found himself in a room and that’s when the lights went out. Since then, she hadn’t ceased to call him. He woke up in his apartment with Catherine

“You awake?” Thomas asked Catherine who was dozing off on the couch.“I wasn’t, but now I am,” Catherine scoffed. He came back from work upset. It was now a normal experience. He stepped into the living area.“What is that dreadful sound?” he asked.“It’s the robot, and it isn’t that loud,” Catherine said. The cleaning robot was circling the living area doing both moping and vacuuming.“What’s with you today?”“Umm, work stuff. I’m all good.”“I can help if you tell me, what’s the matter?” He walked towards her and kissed her cheek, “You’re a baby girl, act like one.” Catherine flinched. Even after a year she wasn’t still used to Thomas’ presence.“What have you been up to?”“Taking care of him,” Catherine pointed at her son who was playing on the floor. She smiled fondly.“I see, I have a thing to attend today. Would you like to join me?”“Yes please, I’m tired of staring at the ceiling,” she cried.“Not the response I expected. Great, I’ll call Kate,” he walked into the room dialin

The experience on a private jet ordinarily is supposed to be a relaxing one, but on Catherine’s case, it was the opposite. She stared towards the front at Donovan’s seat, while Thomas stared at her. No matter how many times he warned her against it, she still did it.At some point, he gave up. Her attraction to Donovan Smith wasn’t something to die in the course of a year, he was foolish to even think so. After all he had done to poison Catherine’s mind, it all proved futile.Some of his efforts yielded results, there was no way she would go back to Donovan now. He was with Lily now, even though he could tell how much Donovan needed and craved for Catherine, the misinformation was enough to keep them apart. It had him satisfied to an extent and gave him the hope he needed.Thomas wasn’t one to let go easily. His plan was to persist, there was no way she would turn him down if he did. He stared at the happy couple and caught a glimpse of the obvious forced kiss. The look on Catherine’s

“Shit!” he punched into the sofa. Anger and sadness took a hold of him in that moment. Even though his meeting Catherine outside was extremely coincidental, Thomas emerging from his hotel room in that exact moment wasn’t something he expected.The only thing his presence did was create unnecessary tension and angst.“Donovan,” Lily said rubbing eyes with both hands. “What’s wrong?” she whispered. He didn’t put his sleeping child into consideration before his tantrum.“I’m fine, I’m fine,” he said slumping into the sofa.“You’re upsetting Lily,” she protested.He sighed, “I’m sorry, I’m-” Donovan shot out of his chair and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.He walked to the sink and opened the faucet, throwing water aggressively across his face. He wasn’t still satisfied with the result. Donovan let the later run in his palm till it flowed over. He vigorously washed his face again.

Thomas had helped them a great deal. After the words “I have it,” that he spoke to Lily over the phone, no one had heard a peep from her in months.Her baby was found on his doorstep alongside a note that he didn’t bother to read.Donovan was certain it was a confession of her lover for him. He beat himself up for a long time for not being able to recognize that she was obsessed with him. Life had been good, quiet. It didn’t take Catherine very long to get acquainted with his niece. Her father was, indisposed.They became more open with other people, family, friends, business partners, they learnt to forgive right after buying up all Zenith shares with the help of the ghost partner and replacing the entire board. It was a sigh of new beginnings for everyone.Lily was discovered later at a rehabilitation center in a foreign country. Now it was clear where she had gotten her evidence to plant. Kenny was released from prison almost immediately. He and Teresa finally became official. They

After everything, the meeting ended in a deadlock. There was no amount of money Donovan offered them that picked their interest. Lily’s goal was to get him locked up as revenge for what he did. The dimly lit room didn’t quite help. Shadows danced on the walls as they were cast of a horror movie. There were series of questioning which was the interrogator practically putting words into Kenny’s mouth. It was such a horrible sight. Donovan tried his best to keep his calm but some part of the interrogation became unbearable. He slammed his hand on the steel table when it got to unbearable. He was escorted out afterwards. “We’ll get through this. Stick to the legal advice, and we’ll do our best to protect Kenny.” His legal representative tried to pacify him. He had tried his best but they so resolute. Donovan was clueless as to how to get through his current situation. Donovan nodded in acknowledgment knowing fully well that the only person who could solve this issue was Lily. He had t
Loved by the billionaire “Kenny, please shut up.”
The Donovan woke up with a splitting headache. He had to make Lily pay one way or another. After all the time she had lied to him, it was the least she deserved. Just a little social buzz had made her quiet. Public exposure was the least he could do. This was the worst betrayal he had ever experienced. With all this he couldn’t bring himself to look at the girl he called his daughter differently. She was his niece anyway and he still had a responsibility towards her. Donovan was struggling and in deep thought when he was alerted by Janet that he had a visitor. He wondered whether Lily had come to back the rest of her things. She made an entire soap opera, rolling in the floor and begging him. She claimed it was the first time and she did it because she felt lonely. That was understandable, but Donovan had to confirm for himself. Not surprisingly, the CCTV footage said otherwise. His punishment for Lily came with a bit of backlash anyway as the online attention was quite excessive.
Loved by the billionaire “Cost us!”
Thomas sat down glancing at his watch from time to time. He held his iced latte sipping on it slowly. If Lily didn’t show up he was going to leave. The ambiance of the place was nice, and the coffee, even if it was expensive still hit the spot.He spotted her from afar. There was no way to miss her. Even with her elaborate disguise, you could sense her elitist spirit from afar. The Gucci scarf and Versace glasses gave her away. Social media has been buzzing with the news of her infidelity.The backlash on Nigel wasn’t easy either, he was now the official black sheep. Failed career, no steady relationship. The pair did a number on themselves. Cause of injury- self-inflicted. She walked in sweating and panting like she had run a marathon, and failed.“Are you okay?” he asked examining her demeanor, “Should I get you something to drink?”“No, I’m fine. I just need your help, it’s not going to be a long one.”“What do you need?” he furrowed his brows.“You know what I need,” she was getti
Loved by the billionaire “The blood isn’t a match.”
Donovan was burdened by guilt and wrestling with his thoughts. He just had to go home. He was in a daze. Multiple scenarios and reflections play out in his mind, amplifying the weight of his past assumptions and the impact on Catherine.“I messed up. I can’t believe I thought she betrayed me,” he said muttering to himself. Lost in his thoughts, he barely registered his surroundings. “Mr. Donovan! Are you alright? You’ve been standing there for ages.” Donovan was pulled out of his reverie, looks around, realizing the passage of time.“I… I’m fine. Just lost in my thoughts.”Janet was concerned. She observed Donovan’s troubled demeanor , “Is everything okay, sir? You seem really upset.”Donovan managed to force a smile, “I’ll be alright. Just a lot on my mind.”Janet was unconvinced but just had to respect his privacy. She left Donovan to his thoughts. There was a strange atmosphere that followed. He was burdened by Catherine’s revelations, it took an emotional toll on him. He handed

Thomas battled a fever throughout the night, Catherine couldn’t bring herself to leave him in his state. Conflicting emotions added another layer of discomfort. She wanted to be compassionate and supportive, but everything that had happened so far made it challenging to offer solace without judgment. “I’m sorry Catherine.” Thomas tossed and turned. “I know you are, but you’re not well. Let me take care of you.” Underneath her caring gestures, is an unconscious judgment that she had already passed on him. There was a struggle to reconcile the person she thought Thomas was with the actions. Catherine tried her possible best to navigate between empathy and her own feelings of hurt. It was morning, Catherine faced Thomas who was lying on the bed. There was definitely a need for a conversation about what happened. Even though he was unwell, the situation called for immediate concern. The atmosphere was fragile. She just couldn’t trust him again, not after all the lies and secrets. Who
Loved by the billionaire “I'm out”
The way Thomas had been on the phone recently was unnerving. He obviously was discussing things related to work but the intensity of the conversation caused even Damien to be unsettled. The baby would turn in his sleep, causing Catherine to worry. It was morning. Thomas was on his regular routine. Catherine, feigned interest in a magazine, subtly adjusting herself in the soft cushion. She needed a compostable position if she was really ready to eavesdrop on Thomas’s increasingly intense work conversation. These days, he was too immersed in work and put in extra hours. She wondered whether he was doing it to stay away from her. The distance was good, at least he wasn’t breathing down her neck anymore, it helped her think but now, the house started to feel a bit empty even with all the helps around. The hushed tones and cryptic discussions fueled her curiousity, leaving her unable to shake the nagging feeling that he might be involved in something off. She was very interested in whate
Loved by the billionaire “What was it?”
Why did he do that? The overwhelming jealousy and need to control had caused him to blurt out something so stupid, ‘I’ll call you?’ really. Donovan brushed his hand across his face as he best himself up. That was on of the most foolish things he had done in a long time. All because of Catherine. He wondered what people might think of him and how many people heard him. The car ride seemed to have become longer than he recalled it was when they departed. The car took an abrupt turn barging into his concentration. He faced the driver sternly, “I thought you do this for a living, how do you make money when you cannot do your job properly?” The driver stared back at him with pursed lips and an apologetic look on his face. “Hey, what’s gotten into you?” Lily asked. Immediately, he collected himself, “I’m sorry,” he apologized. The driver gave an assertive look and continued his journey. He couldn’t wait to go and wash all the shame off his body. He was upset, why did Catherine run off l
