My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Seventy
Cutting Loosed Ties Maria's POV I took a deep breath to steady the wild beating of my heart before I entered Sebastian's sleek-looking office building again. I had not seen him or heard his voice since the night we had the altercation about Nathan because he did not answer or return my calls nor did he reply to my message. And the last time I visited his office, I was told that he had a busy day so I couldn’t see him. The days after our little fight had been heartbreaking for me because I couldn't understand or even explain why I still lied even when he confronted me. Sleep had eluded me since that night because I kept asking myself a lot of questions and one of them was. 'Why hy exactly did I refrain from telling him about Nathan even when I knew that I had to tell him? There was nothing holding me back.’ Sebastian’s secretary gave me a funny look when I asked if I could see her boss and I wondered if I had been blacklisted from visiting his company already. After

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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
