My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal Chapter Twenty-Eight
The Conference IISebastian's POV I left Keith's penthouse apartment and realized that Maria would be alone in her apartment. The urge to go and see her was strong but then there was also the fact that she had been distant since the encounter with my sister, Ailene. I didn't blame her though, because I would do the same if I had met Ailene as Maria. Giving up the idea, I turned to go to my room but the urge to see her was so strong, I found myself walking towards her door. “Seriously Lena, what do you want this time? More condoms?” I heard her shout and laughed because I couldn't wait to see her face when she found out that it wasn't Lena but me. But when she opened the door, I was the one who became speechless when I saw her outfit. She wore a silk camisole and a matching pair of small silk shorts. They were the smallest pair of clothing I had seen on her and I was going crazy already. I tried to get my acts together so I cleared my throat. “I uhh, I wanted to come

Sweet Then SourMaria's POV It was the day of the conference and I would soon be called up to speak. My nerves were in shambles and Helena was squeezing my hands from time to time. I craned my neck and looked towards the west wing section of the hall and the door for the umpteenth time. “He'll be here soon. He has to be. Sebastian has never missed a day in this conference and he won’t start now, darling.” Helena whispered and I didn’t bother arguing with her that I wasn’t looking for Sebastian. After the intimate moment we had, he still came around and helped me practise for my speaking section and each time he did that, it was as if a higher level of confidence was unlocked in me. “Let’s welcome on stage for the third speaking session, Miss Maria Belluci.” I heard the host announce my name and the sound of applause that accompanied the announcement. “You’ve got this, baby girl.” Helena whispered fiercely and kissed my hand. As I walked to the stage, I

A Hint Of ManipulationMaria’s POVAilene and the lady stopped in front of our table and that was when I realized that they were standing arm in arm with pleased smiles on their faces. Smiles that were focused on Sebastian and Keith.“Hello big brother. Hello Keith” Ailene greeted cheerfully then slightly waved at Helena and I as if she was forced to do that.“Ailene, what are you doing here?”“Well, Svetlana accompanied me for the conference and we decided to come check out your restaurant’s menu. It’s been a while since she sampled this gorgeous place.”“This restaurant belongs to Sebastian as well? Just what does this man not have?” I asked myself quietly then stopped talking when I caught Sebastian staring at me.“Svetlana accompanied you for this conference?” Sebastian asked then laughed in disbelief before he picked up his menu and perused it as if his sister and the gorgeous lady was not standing there.“Oh come on, Seb.” The lady spoke up and I raised my brow. It wasn’t her ru

Hotel PleasuresSebastian's POVI sat in my office and thought about how the conference in Paris ended on a sweet and bitter note for me.It was sweet because I got to see and spend time with a different side of Maria. The side that wasn't uptight due to betrayals and battles from family and loved ones.She was carefree, funny and most of all, a more confident side of her was unlocked. We made love a few more times and I enjoyed every single moment spent with her.But the down side was Ailene's interference.My sister had this crazy idea that my ex-girlfriend should be my wife instead of Maria.I remember the conversation I had with her before I boarded my private jet back home.“I can never marry Svet and you know it. What I had with Svet was too unserious to progress to marriage and trust me she hasn't changed one bit so she will not only practise infidelity if I get married to her.”“And it's different with Maria?” She asked with a tone dripping of disbelief.“Yes!” I replied thoug

Selfish LotSebastian's PoV “Sebastian, have you..have you deleted the video from your phone?” I heard Cassandra as I stepped into the hallway that led me out of the apartment building.I turned back to her and replied coldly. “No! And since you all have decided to play foul then I will show you that I can play foul too and even dirtier than you all. If I receive any more visits from you. If I even see your face except absolutely necessary, I will share the video on social media.”She gasped and moved forward. “Sebastian, please…please!”I turned and left the building blocking my ears to her pleas and preparing myself to call my father because the conversation would be a hard one.He didn't pick up his phone when I called him three times so I sent a text immediately after I got back to my office.You owe me an apology and just so you'd know, all work meetings with me are terminated from henceforth. Send a mail or a report to my mail, if the meeting has to be physical then my COO is a

Ready To Be Mrs Bolt? Maria's POV I entered the elite restaurant then followed the host to the table where Sebastian waited for me. He was seated, pressing his phone with an angry look on his phone and I wondered what made him wear that expression on his face. As if sensing my eyes on him, he looked up and his handsome face softened with a smile. We hugged while exchanging pleasantries but he held me longer than a normal casual hug time. I realized that it wasn't a sexual hug but more of seeking comfort. “Are you alright, Sebastian?” I asked after he reluctantly let me go and we sat down. “Yeah, I just have to deal with some issues at work.” “Oh, is it something I can help with?” “No, no it's fine.” He waved his hands as if shooing his bad mood away then smiled brightly. “Let's leave all of that and focus on this dinner.

Meeting Pierre LaurentMaria's POV I went home that evening thinking of ways to delay the wedding until I was done working on my contract with Pierre Laurent. With the way I was running from it, one would think that marriage to Sebastian was such a bad thing but I know a lot of ladies and many more I do not know who would kill to be in my position. “So what did Sebastian say about your decision to wrap up the project with Pierre Laurent before getting married?” Helena asked as we prepared for work the next day. “I haven't told him yet.” I replied applying my lip liner. Pierre Laurent would arrive in a few hours and I planned to look my absolute best. It was the first time we would see each other physically and I planned to give a very good first impression. “You haven't told Sebastian yet? Why, Maria?” Helena asked with a bewildered expression on face. I sighed then turned to face her. “I don't know how to even start that kind of conversation Lena. You should have seen

Winning Ailene OverSebastian’s POV I was very happy when I received a message from Maria stating that we should prepare for our first meeting with the wedding planner but the joy sooon dampened because she started giving one excuse or another. It has been a week and I still haven’t gotten a reply from her regarding that nor has she even talked to me properly instead she was going around town with Pierre Laurent, all in the name of a work contract. I had no reason to doubt that it was work. I believed Maria if she said that it was just work but I didn’t trust Pierre Laurent, and Maria just happened to be in the category of the type of women that Pierre likes. “Are you listening to me, Seb?” Ailene asked me for the third time. We were currently in her favorite restaurant having lunch but I couldn’t focus because my thoughts were on Maria. Shit! She was about to make me go crazy. &ld

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

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.
