My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Forty-Nine
Timeless Moments Maria's POV The door beeped and opened and then Helena came in with her signature scent rushing inside before her. “Lena, it's good you came home early. I am about to go crazy picking one of these for Sebastian.” I said while looking down. “How did your day go by the way?” She sighed and slumped down on the chair in front of me. “My day was good. I officially ended my relationship with Keith Bolt.” “Oh my!” I reached across the table and grabbed her hand. “How was it?” “To be honest, Maria. It felt freeing. I felt like I finally released him, and I told him to go be with who his heart really yearns for.” “You did that. You told him to go and be with Ailene?” “Yup. It's about that he did something and not hungrily stare after her like some starved kid.” I knew she was telling me something serious but then I bent forward and laughed. “I don't even know if to call you savage or strong.” “What do you have over there?” She said, nudging her head towards

The Heartfelt Surprise Sebastian's PoV I still couldn't get over the events of the previous day.Maria blew my mind because the surprise was not only exciting, it was thoughtful, very thoughtful.She found what I loved and have me a fulfilling day with them. Nobody has ever done that for me.I mean, my family and by family I mean my mother was still around,and my sister gave gifts from time to time but it wasn't like that.My phone beeped and I checked to see a message from Maria.Maria: Get ready to go on a journey. One only you can go on. It starts at your door, have fun.He texted back immediately with a Chesshire grin on his face.Sebastian: Maria, what are you up to?Maria: You'll just have to get home and find out.“Get home and find out? What does she mean by that?” He asked himself. “ And how did she get access to my estate.My thoughts took me straight to an accomplice so I brought out my phone and called her immediately.“What have you got planned with Maria? I know you ga

Corporate Suspicions Maria's POV “Maria, my girl, I thought I was badass with men but your level of badass needs to be studied. The birthday series you did for Sebastian, man, you had a grown man excited and blushing like a high schooler.” Helena cooed on the call. We had to work after Sebastian’s party so none of us had really gotten the time to sit down and talk about it. Helena and I had some free time this morning so she called to talk about Sebastian’s reaction and mannerisms towards me during the party. “Oh my! Helena!” I replied and then laughed at her choice of words. “Yeahh, he couldn’t help himself during his birthday party—that he kissed you in front of those men and women. You are lucky that it was a private party and none of that kissing scene made it to the media. The buzz would have deafened us all.” “Tell me about it.” I agreed and laughed, thinking about Sebastian’s party. During and even after the party, he couldn’t take his hands off me, even though

Weekday Vacation Maria's POV “Maria, two days ago you were a badass bitch for making Sebastian light up like the sun but today, I’ll say you’re one crazy bitch because who takes a vacation on a weekday in the middle of work?” Helena asked me as we lounged on one of the chaise lounges on the private beach and watched Nathan play with the sand. After the breakdown moment I had at the beach, I resolved to go on a two-day vacation even though it was a weekday and I had a lot waiting for me back at the office. I wanted a calm before the storm because I knew that the storm was definitely coming. Something fishy was going on in my company, and I sensed that it would take a lot to uncover and take care of it. The temptation to tell Sebastian about all of these was great but I didn’t want to draw him in because of the weird warning he gave me during dinner at Ailene’s house when I announced that I would open the door for public investors. I laughed at Helena’s comment, which was al

A Winchester Face-Off Helena's POV The vacation I had with Maria and Nathan did its number on me because I came back feeling like nothing was impossible for me, and I could conquer anything and anyone. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that Keith's father was after me. The first time I encountered the stern looking man was in a boardroom meeting between his firm and mine. He had given the wrong estimate and everyone knew that but no one had the balls to tell him that his estimate was wrong. After a while I told him and he indirectly asked how dare I correct him. He never liked me since that day. “You’ve been staring into space, Lena. You look miserable.” Maria commented behind me with an amused smile on her face. I sighed then turned to face her. “You have no idea how crazy my day will be. My team has a face off with Keith's father's team.” Maria scrunched her brows and looked at me thoughtfully as she adjusted the gold buttons on her corporate gown. “No offence but

Dinner With The Fiance Maria's POV It was two hours after work hours but I was still sprawled on the floor of my office with documents strewn around me. I had questioned some of the stakeholders about the recent operations which I was not aware of and they waved it off as nothing serious and that I was just being overly worried. When I asked about the dinner with two of my company's main partners, they maintained that they were just trying to get to know our partner better. It sounded like something nobody should worry their head over but I did, because deep within me, I knew that something was wrong even though I could not point my finger on it. The ringtone of my phone distracted me from my perusal. “Hello?” I answered impatiently without checking the caller id. “Maria? Is this a bad time?” Sebastian asked curiously. “No.” I replied then cleared my throat. “No, it isn't.” “Are you home now?” “No, still at the office. What's going on?” “I was wondering if you

Corporate Chaos Maria’s POV It was three weeks since I found out that some operations were being carried out in my company without my consent, and since that time I have been moving from one meeting to another demanding explanations and rectifications but then it seemed to get worse. “What is going on? What the hell is going on right under my nose?” I asked myself as I stared at the document in front of me. I didn’t bother to call any of my executives or my personal assistant because it seemed as if they were also seemingly handicapped to do anything about the actions of the stakeholders. Reading through the document again, I sighed and pulled out my phone, then called Helena. “Hey baby, what’s going on with you?” Helena asked me immediately after she answered the call. I could hear the curiosity in her voice and understood why. We left our home together a few hours ago. “What’s your plan for lunch? Are you free? Can we have lunch together?” “Yeah, yeah, that’s fine. A

The Fiction Nook After the lunch meeting with Helena, I began to do proper investigation and dig into files that I would normally not look at. It was slowly becoming obvious that something foul was at play and the stakeholders under false suggestions and senseless decisions wanted me out. But the more I dug in, the more the search led me to a dead end. I felt like so many things were hiding in plain sight yet they were hidden so deeply that it was impossible to discover them. After a tedious search one day in the finance office, I went back to my office and slumped on my chair feeling almost dejected. I was almost certain that I would find something out of place but then it seemed as if that too had been wiped clean. After a few seconds of sitting down, I stood up and packed my handbag and my briefcase then quietly headed out. It was a few hours until closing hours but then I needed to go clear my head somewhere. Better still, I need to read a book, it's been long sinc

My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Eighty-Three
Surprise Wedding Maria's PoV I couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation with Sebastian a few hours before I was discharged from the hospital. Nathan and I had stayed for five days and in all that time, Sebastian had attended to and taken care of us as if he was on some special mission to do so. Immediately after I opened my eye on the first night, he gave me water, called the doctor to examine me and when they were done, he got me food and other essentials and then apologized for how he had behaved in the past weeks. We had talked a lot after that time and I felt relieved to know that my ex-step mother had been arrested alongside Cassandra. I felt bad for Cassandra but she also knew that the consequenced of her actions would come. During one of the conversations, Sebastian informed me that he knew about my pregnancy and also that he was the father and that he wan

Final Crackdown Maria's PoV “Hey! Hey!” Cassandra shouted as the man moved closer to me. “You don’t get to harm her, so go back to your position.” Cassandra moved closer to me and started untying the ropes on my feet. “What are you doing?” The man asked Cassandra. “Dancing on a private jet, what the hell does it look like I am doing?” She replied him rudely as she continued to loosen the rope around my leg. When she was done loosening the rope around me, she stood up and said. “My mother wants me to bring her to the other room. We need to teach her a lesson before we move out.” “But your mother didn’t mention such. I didn’t receive any instruction as such.” The man responded with a deep frown on his face. I could see that he was trying to connect the communication device in his ear.&nbs

Family Reunion Maria’s PoV I woke up with a start, and all that I could hear for a while was my throbbing heartbeat. ‘What is going on? Where am I? How did I get here?’ I asked myself as I looked around the dimly lit room. A subtle movement caught my eye, and I turned to see Nathan lying on the floor beside me. At that moment, a flood of events that led us to this place rushed into my head. The thoughts made me gasp and look around in fear. ‘Oh my god! Have we been kidnapped again? Who brought us here?’ Pulling on strength that I didn’t have for some unknown reason, I moved slowly towards Nathan and shook him softly. “Nate, Nate, wake up baby. It’s momma.” “Momma?” He asked weakly and I saw that his eyes were barely open. “Oh god! What’s going on?” I asked

Shocking News Maria's PoV My body had been feeling funny for a while but I thought that it was probably stress. It was weeks after we came back from the conference in Paris and when I came back, I had more work to do because my company was in the scaling phase. Two days ago, Aiva invited Helena, Nathan and I to breakfast at Ailene's penthouse. It was a beautiful time but I became sick again when I got home. Helena suggested that I go to the hospital and see a doctor but I refused because I already suspected why I was feeling sick. After we left the house in the morning, I dropped Nathan off at school, visited the nearest pharmacy to pick up the equipment that would confirm or refute my suspicions. After that, I texted Helena to come straight to my office because I had something important to show her. I waited for Helena to come to my office before taking an

Girl Time Aiva's POV I smiled when I heard Maria's hearty laugh as she listened to Ailene's joke. Helena was at the other end fixing Nathan's buttons which had come off while he was playing around with the huge toy car that Sebastian had bought for him while he stayed here with Ailene and I. Upon my request, they had visited a few days after they returned from the conference that took place in Paris. “Here you go. Breakfast is ready, everyone.” I dropped the full jug of juice on the table that was already filled with a variety of food and wine. I also instructed the maid to take Nathan to the smaller table nearby and feed him because I was certain that me and the girls may have adult conversations. “Mom, I told you that Maria also saw the man with the huge jacket. He gave everyone a good laugh during the conference.” Ailene turned towards me with laug

HelVINI Helena's POV I couldn't get over the excitement and joy when Maria was given an award after her speaking session. When she got to her seat, she texted me to meet her in the bathroom and while there she cried until she was too tired to, then I reworked her makeup. By the time the conference was over, she was exhausted and wanted only her bed. Ailene bought her food and escorted her to the penthouse. “Helena Montoya, I look at you and Maria Bellucci and I can't help but see two very phenomenal women charting paths in their various fields.” Vini had nothing but praises for me and Maria when we settled down for dinner after the conference. “Thank you, Vini.” I gave the wickedly handsome man a bright smile. “Where's Maria?” Vincenzo asked, looking up from his phone for the first time since we sat at the table “Maria was a little tired after the conference so she called it a night early.” “And we all leave Paris tomorrow morning.” “Yeah. We leave first thing in

Flowery Moments Maria's POV My heart banged wildly as I rushed back to my penthouse after exiting Sebastian's room thinking that I would turn around and see him coming after me. “How could you do that, Maria? Come on, how could you do that?” I repeated to myself over again as I walked back. My body still trembled from Sebastian's touch and longed for it but my brain was seriously beating my body for betraying us. How could I just jump into bed with him after months where he ignored me and didn't even care one bit? How could I just jump into his bed after the naughty tantrum-like behaviour he displayed when I was with Vicenzo? I opened the door to the penthouse and when I entered, moved straight to the bathroom. “Are you alright, Maria?” I turned to see Helena on the sofa and she looked as if she had been waiting up for me. “What's the time?” “It's five AM.” I sighed resignedly and slumped down on the sofa in front of Helena, then bit my lip to prevent from cryi

Burning With Jealousy Sebastian's PoV The endless meetings concerning the annual business conference were taking their toll as usual. I was moving from one meeting to the other with the top guns so I hadn't even had time to ask if Maria had arrived or if she was settled in the penthouse. I wanted to give her the best experience while she was in Paris, so I instructed my other pilot to bring her down to Paris with my other private jet and I also instructed the host that when they arrived they should only be given the best. The meeting I just came out from lasted for hours. Don't get me wrong, it was meetings such as that one that placed me on a higher pedestal than businessmen of my age but it was long and I was tired physically. When we came out of the boardroom, my physical exhaustion changed to anger and burning jealousy when I saw Maria with some other guy. The guy was pleased to see me and I didn't mean to be rude but I was burning too much with jealousy to even thi

The Annual Corporate Conference Maria's POV The journey to Paris was more enjoyable than the last time because I was not treated as a first time speaker but a seasoned writer. Helena and I were taken to Paris with a private jet and when we arrived, we were lodged in one of the best penthouses in one of Sebastian's highrise buildings. When we entered the penthouse, Helena whistled and turned to me. “At this point Maria, I doubt that all of this is because you are a speaker. You were a speaker last year and we didn't get all of these.” I folded my arms and then raised my brow “Really? Why do you think we were given this type of treatment then?” “Isn’t it obvious? Sebastian of course. We came in his private jet and now we are in one of the best apartments in his highrise buildings.” I chuckled and shook my head. “You of all people know that Sebastian doesn't give a damn about me so yes, he may be the owner but it could have been that the panel decided that it had to be that
