My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Seventeen
The Proposal RevisitedMaria’s POV During the call with Sebastian, we realized that the tactics of our opposition had changed so we also need to discuss counteractions and plans to fault any of their upcoming actions. Sebastian suggested that Helena should also come along for the meeting since she was a lawyer and I agreed. I spent some time with Nathan and when I put him to bed for his nap, Helena and I got ready and drove to Sebastian's home. “It's a nice place you've got here.” Helena complemented his home when we saw him. His mansion was seated in the middle of a humongous estate which belonged to him. I remembered Helena's words when she saw the pool. Oouuu, Nathan will love this pool, Maria. It's so cool.” Hearing her half teasing words made me realize that Nathan and I would soon call this place home but was I ready to be called Mrs. Bolt? Honestly? Nope! It was a huge shoe to fill. Although, I was not scared of taking of the role of Mrs. Bolt, I was scared of

Sparks FlyHelena's POV: I stared up at Keith Winchester and wondered if he was really the big shark everyone feared in the corporate legal world. We both ran in the same legal sphere but he was all the way at the top, famous for trampling his opponents legally and for being insanely handsome like his best friend Sebastian. “Uhmm, thank you?” I wasn't sure why he was acting that way and he noticed that I was puzzled so he cleared his throat, gave a small awkward laugh and moved backwards. “Do I know you?” He asked with furrowed brows and I saw again why women were all over him but I heard he was too busy to give them any attention. Just like his best friend, Sebastian but then a woman who happened to be my best friend was slowly but surely getting his attention unintentionally. “Uhh, we must have attended the same conference. I am a corporate lawyer.” He squinted his eyes and pointed at me. “Helena Montoya. Do you work with Joe and Hopkins firm?” “That's me.” I pulled

Helena's POV I came down from one of Keith's cars and thanked the driver before he zoomed off, then smiled when I saw my own car driving into the parking lot. Keith had sent his driver to bring the car home since it was a Monday morning and I would need my car. As soon as I entered our apartment, I heard Maria half screaming. “Helena Montoya, you are such a slut and a magnet. You really got that guy.” I laughed at her dramatic expressions because she was trying not to shout so that she would not wake Nathan up and at the same time she wanted to be her dramatic shouty self. “Maria, I don't have time for this drama. I just need a bed.” “You didn't sleep last night?” She asked with a raised brow and I turned red. “Oouuu, look at you looking all tomatoes-like. Keep the details to yourself though because it sure was a lot of gymnastics if you need a bed.” My phone beeped at that moment and I smiled when I saw a message from Keith asking if I had settled in alright. “Awnnn

Bro TalksKeith’s POV “I am finally seeing a pattern with the Gustavos. They like to jump on business trends so if we…” Sebastian cocked his head to the side and asked. “Are you with me, bro?” “Yeah, yeah, I am with you.” I replied distractedly, still thinking about the occurrences that happened two days ago. He nodded his head and continued. “Good, Good, as I was saying, the Gustavos follow a particular pattern and I believe that if we hack it to the peak, we will…Keith, you are not listening to me.” “I am!” I defended but in all honesty, I was distracted. He placed his pen on the mahogany table, and sat back on his chair, then asked. “Okay, what was my last sentence? In fact, what's my proposed plan for the Gustavos?” “You talked about the..the pattern?” “What pattern?” I sighed and raised up my hands in defeat. “Okay, fine. I wasn't listening.” Sebastian sat forward in his seat and asked. “What's going on, Keith? You've been in a zombie mood since you came here.

Running From The TruthHelena's POV It's been two days since I asked Keith to leave my house and since that time I hadn't heard a word from him. I should be relieved about this but for some reason I couldn't explain, it irked me and I just wanted to send myself to the naughty corner for even starting anything with him in the first place. “What were you thinking, Lena?” I asked myself quietly and Maria replied. “Did you say something, Lena?” “No, no. I was just talking to myself.” “Mmmhmm.” She replied sarcastically and pushed her anti blue-ray glasses downwards and dramatically gave a pose that silently depicted. 'Let me have a good look at you.’ I gave her a self conscious laugh and asked. “Girl, what is it?” “You were talking to yourself. That's what's up. You've been talking to yourself for days now and we both know when you do that, then you have something eating you inside. I know it's not work because you guys wrapped up the deal successfully and you are on a sh

News FlashMaria's PoV I woke up thinking about Maria's statement about me and Sebastian, and even as I got ready for work, the statement still won't leave my head. “What did she mean by oh Maria you are so wrong about you and Sebastian?” I asked myself as I styled my hair. I heard a knock on my door and turned to see Nathan followed closely by Emily. “Who's there at my door?” I asked dramatically then gasped and half shouted. “Oh look! It's my son! And he’s sooo ready for school.” Nathan laughed and raced towards my ready arms. I grabbed him and started tickling his chubby baby body until he raced his hands and started shouting amidst laughter. “I surrender! I surrender!” Laughing hard as well, I placed him down and planted many kisses on his face. He looked at me and said, “When I grow up, mommy, I will tickle you many many times.” “Well, that's when you grow up but till then I will….” I crouched low and started for him but he screamed and raced out of my room amidst

Kindling FlamesSebastian's PoV “What do you mean by what happened?” I asked Maria, admiring how gorgeous she looked even though she was obviously angry. She tsked and fixed hot gazes on me. “What happened between you and Cassandra? How and why exactly are you two even together in one picture? Where was the location in the picture? I need details. I can't just wake up and get surprises from the news. It shouldn't be my norm. I need details so I know what I am possibly facing soon.” “Maria, please take a seat. I will share every detail soon.” “Okay.” She simply replied then sat down and crossed her arms in front of her and I clamped my hands to prevent myself from smiling even though I was very angry. I was angry at myself for not flowing with my instincts because I knew immediately Cassandra showed up uninvited that something fishy was going on but I didn't act on it. I was also angry at Cassandra, the Kidmans and even my father for all these tantrums and naughty games and

Plans And Counterplans Mr. Bolt PoV I waited until Sebastian left then picked up my phone and called Max Kidman. “Max, we have a problem. Meet me at the club now. Also, come along with your daughter, Cassandra. I’d like to make a request of her and also ask her some questions concerning her last meeting with my son.” The situation seemed to be getting out of hand and if I don't curb it now then I have a lot to lose. In fact, I will go down with the Kidmans because I know that Max will surely take his pound of flesh. Cassandra's wedding to Sebastian was all that Max wanted to keep him quiet because if he had Sebastian as a son-in-law then there was no way he would go down and I won't have to go down with him. I don't want to go down so I have to do everything humanly possible to ensure that Sebastian married the Kidman girl. If I look at it logically then I would agree that Sebastian was going after the right Kidman daughter. Maria was smart, bright and doing well with h

My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Seventy Nine
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
My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Seventy-Five
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

The Armani Brothers Maria's POV I smiled as I laid sleeping Nathan on his bed. I thought about my day with him and I must say that I had a swell time with him at the new zoo downtown. We saw different types of animals, participated in fun activities and I allowed ice cream and had other snacks. The highlight for me was spending time with my son but at different times I felt like people were watching us. I looked over my shoulder at different times but didn't see anyone. “Goodnight, my love.” I pecked his cheek. He slept off immediately after he ate dinner and had his bath because he was exhausted after the long fun day he had. I stayed back in Nathan's room and watched him as he slept thinking about how he looked so much like his father. Speaking about his father, at one point while we were in the zoo, I felt that Sebastian was there and I even perceived his signature cologne but then the logical part of me reasoned that I must be missing him deeply to feel that way.

Catching A Glimpse Sebastian's PoV It was Saturday and since my mother started living with Ailene, I ensured to have breakfast with them every Saturday so that I could spend some time with them and catch up on how their week went. When I entered, I saw that breakfast was already set at Ailene's terrace. “Okay, darling. Enjoy your day and ensure to tell me all about it when you get back.” “Okay, Aiva.” I heard the sweet childish voice on the other end of the video call and knew that my mother was having facetime with Nathan. They had become so close, they always spent some time together. “Nathan says hello.” She informed Ailene after ending the call. “He is on his way to the new zoo downtown with Maria and is so excited about it.” “I can imagine how excited he is right now. His beautiful eyes would be aglow and his cheeks would be reddish with excitement.” Ailene replied with a fond smile on her face. As they talked about Maria and Nathan, I behaved as if I was not in

Building Trust Walls Keith's POV I sighed as I watched Sebastian speed off in his car. “Why are you torturing yourself this way?” I asked no one in particular. “You are obviously still in love with this woman and even if you don't say it, your body first of all pines after her.” “Is Sebastian okay?” I heard someone ask behind me and turned to see Helena. I gave her a small smile and said. “Just business discussions giving him some kind of heat.” She raised one elegant bro and folded her smooth hands. “Business discussions or the woman in the gold dress.” I sighed and smiled. “I forgot that you know me all too well. Okay fine. The woman.” “But he didn't say anything to her after the little hand wave he gave her. He only spent the rest of the night with his eyes glued on her. Maria could be pregnant right now from the amount of eye-fucking she received from Sebastian tonight.” When I heard her last sentence, I couldn't help myself so I bent forward and laughed hard.
My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Seventy-One
Rolling With The Top Dogs Sebastian’s POV I drove into the parking lot of the luxurious hotel where the annual event for corporate topdogs in the country was being held. It was a party organized for the elite and powerful in the corporate world and once in a while, they invited those who were promising or trailblazers. Aileen told me earlier that Maria and Helena got the invite this year. I also saw the news on television and I contemplated cancelling but I didn't want to be tagged a coward by Ailene or Keith. It's been many weeks since I last saw Maria and this was because I had made intentional efforts to either avoid her or any news about her. I know that my actions may have hurt her, especially the day she waited all day at my office waiting lounge but then there was a part of me that felt like she deserved all of those treatments even though the other part of me misses her and wants to hold her in my arms again. But sadly, the part of me who wants nothing to do w
