STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Bridge
AdrianI cannot shake off what happened last night. I finally kissed her, the girl of my dreams. I do admit she made me super angry but she has a way of making my moods switch into lust every time I set my eyes on her. I loved her voice as she moaned to my touch. She was so beautiful as she arched on that dining table. Oh! The things I want to do to this woman. I think at this point I have already crossed the thin line between love and hate and maybe I lo-.I walk straight into the Daniels Company building to sign my deal. I still have no idea how I am going to make this work but with Ellie on my side nothing is impossible. I know I cannot add other employees as that will potentially drain the company and I also do not want to overwork them with the immense number of clients we will be getting from Daniels. I knew getting Sage Enterprises back to the grid was not going to be easy and I am willing to do all that I can to get it back on its feet.I sign the contract and walk out with

We are on the plane back home and I cannot stop thinking of everything that happened. I feel like the clouds outside my window. I feel like I could just lie on them and feel the breeze. I feel like I am in heaven. I feel like I am in lo-I cannot wait to go home and tell Reina about everything that happened. Yesterday Adrian took me out to dinner and we played Who'd you rather on the people in the restaurant. He has a really weird taste in women. Maybe that's why he likes me, I can be a bit weird. Who said he likes me? Well, he sure did not say he didn't. Ellie stopped spiralling! I find myself smiling randomly at things and thank God that Adrian is asleep. He could have made a joke about how I looked smiling weirdly. He looks so handsome while sleeping. Some of his hair found its way on his forehead and I am fighting everything in me not to remove it from his face. His freckles are so visibly seen now as his long eyelashes rest on them. He is so calm and those lips. Oh, those lip

AdrianI feel so pressured with everything that is happening. Daniels just sent a workload of clients and I am trying my best not to have a meltdown. I have already assigned the clients to different departments. At this point, everyone in Sage Enterprises needs to work as a unit. Everyone helps everyone. I am ready for the tireless nights, I am used to it actually if it means getting back my company. I am not a quitter and can surely do this. I may have projected some of my frustration to Ellie yesterday when she brought me the reports. I am planning on taking her out today for dinner and apologise. I hope she understands everything that is happening is driving me a bit crazy. I hope she supports me and stands by me. I need her.Meghan is also another cause of my frustration. She came in yesterday to bring Amy as she has an upcoming girls' trip. She could have done that at home but decided to just show up in my office. I had to leave and get home immediately after but at least I spen

Ellie"He has a wife and a kid!!!" Reina asks for the 90th time looking so perplexed. "Well technically he is not married, they are currently divorcing soooo," I say while taking a sip of the cold tea I have been holding on for a while now. "But still, why did he not tell you that when you met? Do you know how crazy baby mamas can be?!" She says making it sound more like a statement than a question.Do not get me wrong. I clearly get how fucked up this situation is. I still do not get why he was hiding this information from me. I am not sure if I want to get into something serious with him. But I am willing to give it a try. Maybe even get to know his daughter. She seems like a sweetheart. I realize that I have not been listening to Reina's rant for the last couple of minutes."Hellooooooo, are you even listening to me?" She asks snapping her fingers in my face and this brings me back to reality."I honestly do not know what I am going to do but I am willing to give it a chance.""J

Tony Sang was a swarthy, short and plump man. He had a nose for information and knew everything that was happening about everyone. He had studied abroad for his degree and masters in criminology and was the best at sourcing out information. He loved travelling and knowing a bit about every place. He was currently saving up for a trip to Africa, one of the few continents he had not travelled to. He knew that this job that Steve Stone had given him would help him finalise his saving up and finally go to Africa. He had met Steve in campus. He had an inkling that Steve was connected to some important people in the police department and so he befriended him. He showed him how important he could be and ever since he had been doing all the private and even dirty work for him and was paid quite handsomely. Tony had been on the bad side of love all his life. In high school he had a girlfriend, Candy who allowed him to kiss her in the gym during recess and he enjoyed it. After high school,

AdrianI am on cloud nine. Ever since Ellie came into my life I have never been happier. It's funny how the line between hate and love is so thin. There was a time when I could not stand Ellie's face but now I see it and feel complete. She is so amazing, caring and funny. I especially love how well they got along with Amy. Amy keeps on mentioning their planned play date with Ellie. I think she is even more in love than I am.I am in my office working out a few documents. Sage Enterprises has improved tremendously over the last three weeks. It meant working a bit harder than before. At first, I thought my employers would not be for it but they surprised me by how supportive they were. They actually did not even demand extra pay for their extra work. These people are family to me, I cannot fail them. I owe this to Ellie. I should not have doubted her for a second.I have scheduled two meetings with two big companies in the afternoon that want to partner with Sage Enterprises. I am bus

EllieGuilt like a fierce monster was creeping in and now more than ever I need to tell Adrian. I love him and it is the least I could do for him. He deserves to know the truth. I know it will hurt him but then I will not have to carry this huge guilt, this huge monster that keeps reminding me of how undeserving of him I am. I really want to collect myself and tell him but that would mean risking losing him. I cannot lose him. I love him. That would mean hurting him. I do not want to hurt him but one day the truth will find its way out. I want to tell him, I really do but can I deal with the consequences that come with it? Sage Enterprises almost died because of me but at least I have helped all I can to bring it back up. I cannot seriously justify my actions right now. I am a bad person. I do not deserve Adrian. I cannot continue lying to him.I slowly drive into our driveway and sit in the car, numb, motionless for a good 20 minutes before getting into the house. The caregiver had

AdrianFinally, I am going to ask Ellie to be my girlfriend. I got her a golden ring with three diamonds, nothing too flashy but expensive to her design. I have been practicing my speech in my mirror ever since I asked her out yesterday. She seemed a little off though and I am praying it is only because of the cold. I hope she is not having doubts about me and will say yes when I pop the question. It would severely break my heart if she does not.I have already planned out my outfit. A sky blue polo shirt, black jeans, and vans. I want it to be casual and comfortable, outside the everyday suits she sees me in at work. I am so excited I find it hard to contain my joy but some kind of nervousness keeps crawling in me. I am about to call my driver to go pick up Ellie when Steve calls me.“Hello,” his sturdy voice goes through my receiver.“Hey Steve, how you doing?” I ask eager for this call to end so that I can see my princess.“I need to talk to you, now. It is urgent,” he says, a high

STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love EPILOGUE
“It is almost here Mrs. Sage. One more push,” the nurse in the delivery room says to me. I scream as I give one final push and I am rewarded when I hear a small cry. My son was finally here. I am crying as Adrian holds my hand and kisses me.“You were so brave my love,” he says and holds me.“Mr. and Mrs. Sage, here is your bouncing baby boy,” the nurse says as she hands me the baby wrapped up in a white shawl. He looks so tiny as he wriggles his hands and feet. I cannot believe I have a son. Tears of joy flow down my cheeks as Adrian leans over and kisses him. I have a son!Amy walks in the room and she is so excited to meet her baby brother.“He is so small I feel like I can break him,” she says as she holds him and we all laugh. My little happy family.“I want to name him after my father, Thomas. Thomas Sage,” I say smiling at Adrian as he holds him.“Hello Thomas Sage. I am your father and I love you so much,” he says kissing him again. I am so happy. I finally have my own litt
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Wedding
EllieI hope the dress will still fit me. I have added on some weight ever since I fitted it on. I am getting married today! I am finally getting married to the love of my life. I cannot imagine that we got this far. After everything, we just found our way back to each other. I would have it no other way. I am avoiding eating anything today. I already feel so anxious and I do not want to add to it by eating anything in the morning. I have not seen or talked to Adrian since yesterday. It is bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. There are a dozen people in my room right now. One is doing my hair, the other my makeup and the other is checking my nails. My thoughts are elsewhere as I let these strangers do everything to my body. I have 3 more months before the baby comes so I am not scared that he might come today. I wish my parents were here though. I wish my dad could walk me down the aisle. I wish they were here to see me so beautiful in white. I still remember
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Question
AdrianI have decided. I will ask her today. I will ask her to be my wife today. I will propose to Ellie. There is no doubt about it now. She is the love of my life. I love how she just makes me feel. I love how hardworking and kind she is to everyone. I especially like how they are with Amy. She is just the best. I have seen how hard she has worked in building White and Co. Yes, I have helped her here and there, but she has brought that company from afar. It is now a month from when she started the company. White and CO were featured among the fastest-rising companies of the year. I also love how beautiful her belly bump is growing. I like talking to our baby as I rub her belly. She just makes the cutest mother ever. I love her with every fibre in my being. I have been planning for this day for the longest time ever. I want it to be perfect. I reserved us at the hotel where I once was to propose to her but found out about the pendant. I need to do it right this time. I have reser
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Turn
EllieSitting there next to Adrian everything else does not matter anymore. I love this man. Despite everything I love him so much. Yes, I am scared, but I am willing to try again. If it means trying with him. I cannot even believe he is willing to support White and Co. I think I forgot the heart that this man owns. I think I forgot how nice and caring he is. I am getting money for the company for free! I had been thinking about bringing back the company for a while now. But the biggest obstacle was always the capital to start with. I gathered courage today and asked for a loan from Adrian and see how that turned out. I can never be happier. I get to have the company and the man back. I am going to work my ass off for that company. I need to make the White name great again. I feel happy. Here in his arms, I am happy. We lock eyes and I love him. I love this man. How did I get here? We hug again and Adrian leads me upstairs. We get to his room and it feels so nostalgic. I kiss him a
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Move In
AdrianEllie is finally coming home to me. She called me yesterday and informed me that she could accept the offer. I could not have been happier to hear that. I was with Leo when she called. Finally, the universe is giving me a second chance to make things right with Ellie. Finally, I can have her back. I get to see her every day. I get to take her to checkups and watch our baby grow in her womb. I was so happy I drove straight home to Amy. She was also equally excited to hear that Ellie would come home. Now I am here waiting for her to arrive. I had sent some people to help her in the moving out. I had a meeting in the evening and could not make it to help her out. But I am sure she will not have to lift a finger. It is almost eight pm when I see the vehicles driving into the compound. I cannot hide the excitement especially when I see her getting off the car. I rush over to her. She has on black sweatpants and a T-shirt but looks as beautiful as ever.“Hey there,” I say walking u
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Decision
EllieI love Amy. I love the energy she brings to me. I feel so warm inside every time she is around. But going back to live with them? I am not sure I can handle it. Seeing Adrian all around. It makes me feel happy and anxious at the same time. I want to be around Adrian but I am still not sure whether this is the right thing for me. What if something bad happens again when I am there? I already have a life here. I have a job, I have Levi, Mary and Paul. I am already forming something for myself here. Do I really want to leave it all? Just because Adrian asked me to? Just because Adrian wants his whole family together? Am I willing to take that risk? I really am not sure about all this. Amy and Adrian are preparing to leave. I have asked Adrian for some time to think about it. I need to weigh down all my options. I need to know and make the right decision for my baby. He comes first in my life.“I will miss you, Ellie; I wish you lived with us, and we could play dress up all day lo
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Visit
AdrianI cannot stop thinking about Ellie and the baby. I have not yet told Amy about it. I plan to tell her tonight so that we can head over to Ellie’s with her tomorrow. She will be so excited to hear about it. She has always had a soft spot for Ellie. I hope Ellie can be that mum that she has never had and that she accepts to come back. I want to take care of her and the baby together with Amy. I want to have a perfect little family with them. I am planning to ask her tomorrow if she can come back with us. That way I will ensure that they lack nothing. I just want to win back Ellie’s heart again. At the company, things have been going well. I love how Job is working and everything he is doing. Throughout the week I have been so busy with meetings and signing deals. I even got a deal with the prestigious Stanford Enterprises. Working at the office has given me a sense of relief. At least my mind was occupied most of the time and I did not just sit down the whole day thinking of E
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Playbacks
EllieDoes he really want to know me again? He wants to know my baby. I feel so distant from that. I want to go back to how things were with him. But do I know him anymore? Which Adrian is he? The one in front of me or the one who denied me in front of everyone. I cannot allow my baby to be brought up with uncertainties.“I cannot keep my baby away from his father. I do not want him to be robbed of his father,” I say after a long silence.“You know the gender. It boy?” he asks, his face beaming.“No, it’s just some intuition. I hope it is a baby boy, though,” I say, giving him a weak smile.“I hope it is a baby boy, too,” he says, returning my smile.“Well. I am not sure that things can go back to how they were Adrian. You hurt me too much. But I am willing to allow you to see your child. And for his sake, I can try and get along with you,” I say, and I hope I do not regret it in the end. It has always been my wish to bring up my kids in a complete home. I can try to get along with h
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Approach
EllieMy hands are still shaking. What the hell was that? I felt a little happy to see him. Seeing him just made me realize how much I missed him. I still miss him. I still love that man despite everything he has done to me. He still makes me nervous and those few moments when our hands touched were the best. I felt some electricity go through me. I love him. I love him but he hurt me. He was apologetic, though, and sounded like he meant it. Maybe I should forgive him and start over. But I cannot make it that easy for him. He needs to earn my trust back. I need to know that he will stay by my side this time forever. I need to tread carefully. I felt bad not telling him about his baby yesterday., He would have been so happy to hear that we are having a child together. I should have given him my new number. Maybe give him a chance to make things better. It felt so nice seeing him again. I have not talked to Levi ever since we came out of the party. I owe him a lot of explanation. Toni
