STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Movies
EllieI don’t know why I am so nervous to go meet Amy and Adrian. It is not like it’s the first time I've met both of them together, but a wave of anxiety hits me as I prepare myself to go meet them. Maybe it’s how devoted he was while talking about Amy yesterday and I do not want to let him down. I really want us to grow close with Amy and I am hoping she wants that too. The other time we were together was so nice, and I am hoping today will be just as good, if not better. I felt pity for Amy when I learnt how Meghan was around her. No child deserves to have a mother who does not give two shits about them. She needs love and care. I am actually hoping that Adrian files for full custody and wins. But then, if we get married, will I legally be her mum? Am I ready to be a mum? Especially a mum to a ten-year-old. Growing up I always had the ambition. To bring kids into this world. To shower them with so much love and be their best friends. I had always pictured myself having two kids,

Adrian“Excuse me, Sir, someone is here to see you. He says it’s urgent,” Angela says through the receiver. I wonder who that urgent person might be. I am so busy working out some details about a potential client I would like to work with, and I do not want to be disturbed. I have not even seen Ellie since morning.“Send him in,” I say as I continue working on my laptop. I hope this is not a waste of my time. A few minutes later, I hear a soft knock on my door. I answer it as Steve walks through. I wonder what he wants as we have already closed the Ellie case. I place my laptop aside as I give him my undivided attention to this ‘urgent’ case he has.“Good morning, Steve; how are you doing?” I ask, shaking his hand and trying to read his expression, but I see nothing on his face.“Good morning Adrian, I am doing well. How about yourself?” he says taking a seat.“I am doing okay. To what do I honour this surprise visit?” I say trying to get straight to the point.“Well, you remember

EllieI get off work and I am preparing my supper when my phone rings. It is Adrian calling. I had not managed to see him the whole day, he was so busy today. I left him a note. I always loved small silly notes.“Hey baby,” his sexy voice runs through my receiver.“Hey baby, I missed you today,” I say smiling through as I put in my chicken to simmer.“I am sorry I was pretty held up today. By the time I got to the office, you were gone,” he says, and I can tell he is pretty worked up.“I am sorry you had a long day. Are you home now?” I ask tearing off the pasta from its wrapping.“I am almost home now. I would like to talk to you about something tomorrow morning though. Would you come to my office first thing?” he says in such a serious tone I wonder what has happened.“Sure I will see you there. Is everything okay? You sound so dull,” I ask in a concerning manner as I lean on my kitchen counter.“No, nothing is wrong, baby, but I have to talk to you tomorrow. I am almost home now, g
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Courthouse
AdrianEllie and I have been so good together and I attribute it to how transparent we have been with each other. The other day was hard for both of us. It was hard for me to tell her about my family betraying hers and it was hard on her side to take it all in. I hated seeing her like that but I am glad we got through it together. I am happy with how she has been letting me in emotionally and mentally. All I can say is that I am happy in the place I am with her now. I love this woman to death and I will not let a day pass without me showing her that. We went to the museum the other day. She said she likes outdoor activities so I planned a museum date for her. The weather was so nice with the sun not too hot for us to bear. The sky shines its blue colour on us. We went in the midmorning. I had carried some snacks for us in case we got hungry. And also knowing how much of a foodie Ellie is. I bought us canned colas, Some crisps, her favourite chocolate lunch bar and some pizza slices
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Charge
EllieWhy is this happening to me? The one time that Adrian has decided to trust me with his daughter and I fuck it up? Where the hell could Amy have gone to? I remember kissing Adrian goodbye and having an amazing breakfast consisting of bacon and fried eggs. I finished the breakfast and decided to go and check on Amy only to find her not in her room. Her stuffed elephant had been left on the floor and the curtains on the window flowed easily. I looked around for her in her bathroom and all around the house, but to no avail. I had asked one of the house workers to help me look outside, in the garden and all around the house but we could not find her. My heart skipped and I did not know what to do as slowly tears started rolling down my cheeks. Where would she have gone to? I cannot lose her. Adrian trusted her in my hands. I had let him down. I regret not checking on her immediately Adrian left. I should have been with her, by her side. I should have been stroking her hair as she
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Loss
AdrianI have experienced loss before. First, when I was young, I lost my mum. She had been sick with stage three breast cancer for the past two years. I remember when I came home from school that day, and she was making us supper. Mum had always liked making supper for us herself. She said she always enjoyed taking care of us. I had gone upstairs to my room to freshen up when the smoke alarm went off. I ran downstairs to find Mum lying on the floor, and the food was all burnt up. I panicked as I tried to get her up to no avail. I called the ambulance and then called my Dad. The ambulance arrived and took her. Seeing my mum on a stretcher traumatized me. Dad arrived 10 minutes after the ambulance team. I rode in the back of the ambulance with Mum. The whole journey scared me as they kept her on oxygen support. We arrived at the hospital and got the terrible news that Mum had cancer. Cancer that soulless monster that left my mum so frail. That monster that ripped off the happiness
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Torment
EllieI cannot believe I lost Amy. I feel so terrible as I know all the souls present today, including Adrian, were secretly blaming me. I would also be blaming myself if I was in their shoes. I was the last one with her. I could have protected her better. I could have been with her and prevented all this fracas. Adrian has barely spoken to me throughout the day. I know he does not want to hurt my feelings, and with everything happening, I understand the distance. I just wish he could let me comfort him and be there with him. I could see the frustration and anguish on his face at the station. I could see how bitter and determined he was to find his daughter. I had failed him and Meghan. Even so, Meghan should not have kept on insisting that I had taken her baby. I understand that her mind is clouded with emotions. I understand that with everything happening, she may not think straight and may be quick to play the blame game, but she has to know that I, too, love that baby girl. I, t
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Reveal
AdrianI keep on wishing that this is just a big bad nightmare. I keep on wishing that I get to see my Amy again. I cannot anymore. The police keep on saying that they are investigating but have no leads. We have all been called to the station and reported a statement. I particularly did not like how they handled Ellie. They treated her like she was a suspect. Ellie could never do this to me. She has been by my side all through, comforting me and just being there. She could never. Alehandro has not called me back. I know if he has not called he has nothing substantial to provide. Where could she be? Who could have taken her? I am seated in the living room with a shot of whisky and Ellie by my side. People I do not know keep on coming in and out and consoling Meghan. More than half the people there are just Meghan’s friends. She looks miserable. She does not eat and comes to my house first thing in the morning to ask if I have heard anything about Amy. I guess she loved her after al

“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
