STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Reality
Ellie“Excuse me, ma’am, are you okay? Should I call someone to come pick you up? We are about to close,” a petite, short brunette comes up to me concern written all over her face.“It’s okay, I am on my way out,” I manage to slur the words out as I finish my last shot and pay before getting up. I am so tipsy at this point. I do not even know how many drinks I have had so far. I struggle but manage to order a cab and slightly stagger to the exit. I feel like my world just took a 360 turn and I am no longer in control of it. I wish that I just wake up from this nightmare. What the fuck just happened tonight? I am standing outside shivering from the cold and feeling so terrible when a light blue saloon car approaches me. It is not the same color as said in the app so I am hesitant to get in. The number plate is also not the same.“Are you John Thomas from the app?” I ask when the driver rolls down his window. He is a Caucasian man with a well-trimmed beard and a fade. He looks kind and
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Blackout
Adrian“Make sure you print all the documents and prepare a PowerPoint presentation before then. I want everything to perfection. Also, have Dave do background information on the company. Any scandal, any business deal, anything important I need to know. I want the work done by the end of the day,” I end up saying sternly to Angela.“But Sir, what happened to Ellie, she was in charge of all of this,” a concerned Angela asks and I am fed up with everyone asking where Ellie is.“Ellie will no longer be working here. We are getting back to how we were without her so you better get used to it. You may leave now, you have a lot to do,” I say not even hiding the irritation in my voice.“Okay Sir,” Angela says leaving my office hurriedly before I turn on her again.I have decided that I do not have time to sit down and wallow in my heartbreak. I have always been great at distracting myself from my emotions. At least when I am working I do not think of Ellie as much as when am not. I still c
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Meltdown
EllieHe humiliated me. I know I did him wrong but he humiliated me. He did not even flinch. He did not even want to listen to me. I am not a bad person. I wish he could see that. This brings me back to my ex Ryan. Why do I have to have such a bad experience with men? All my life, Dad brought me up to be an outspoken person, to let my feelings known. To be honest with how I feel with everyone I meet. I have tried to show my love to people. Yes, I have my perks but I have tried to be the best version of myself. And when I was drawn to the life of crime, I had no option. My dad cannot survive without the expensive meds. Why can’t people not see that? Why is everyone so quick to judge me out of what I had done wrong and not see me for what I do right? Why is the world like this?I drive into our driveway and take a solid five minutes in the car to process everything before I meet Dad. I get in the house and a beautiful aroma hits me from the door. It smells like grilled cheese and chic
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Rain Check
Adrian“Have you heard?” an urgent tone in Leo’s voice goes through the receiver.“Have I heard what?” I reply while busy opening emails. It is always mostly nothing serious, he is just overly dramatic.“About Ellie’s dad, he just passed on,” he says and blubbers a few words but the ringing in my ears does not allow me to hear what he is saying. All of a sudden I feel as if a lightning bolt just passed through my heart. I know this has severely broken Ellie. She does not deserve this. I end the call abruptly with Leo and immediately take my car to go to Ellie’s house.I get there and a blonde tall girl opens the door. I recognised her from the day I went over to check on Ellie and her dad in hospital.“Hey, can I help you?” She asks rather rudely and I figure she knows what is happening between Ellie and me. “Umm I heard what happened and I wanted to check on Ellie.”“She is fine, you can go now,” she said in a really hostile tone.“Please, can I see her, see that she is actually fin
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Funeral
EllieLife is short and you never know when might be your last moments with your loved ones. I always kind of knew that this day was coming but one cannot be prepared for death. I knew one day, Dad would just be out of his misery, but my heart could not accept that he was gone now.How? How could this be? How could the universe be so cruel to me? First with Mum, then Dad. How am I supposed to live now? I do not think I can do this.Memories flood my mind as the six carrying ‘the body’ as they now refer to Dad walk in front of me. He looks so helpless in the coffin that now houses him. Unlike the day when I graduated from campus and he threw me the biggest party in the world. I can still hear his voice as he proudly says how his daughter has a degree in computer science. Always referring to me as the ‘brains of the family’. I remember the day he found me crying in my room because I got a retake in one of my units and how he held me close to him and comforted him. I remember when we w
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Case
AdrianIt has been 3 weeks, 21 days, 504 hours, and 30240 minutes without hearing from Ellie. I tried reaching out but her cell phone is in no service mode. I helped her get a house buyer and she sold it and moved in with Reina. It has been so hard to reach her as she lives there. I have gone there approximately five times, but each time, I am met with the averagely old woman who identified as Reina’s mum at the funeral, and she informs me that both Reina and Ellie are not around. Each time she assures me that they are okay and I should come back again later. I am starting to think that she is ignoring me. Maybe she needs time to process things. I can give her time but my heart is aching for her. I need to apologize for that night at the bar. I need to apologize for how I talked to her and made her feel. I need to apologize for leaving her so vulnerable that she was almost abducted. I need to apologize for not listening to her and letting my anger get in the way. I am hoping she wi
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Girlfriend
Ellie“You called him! Ellie!” Reina dramatically asks as she comes to where I am seated.“I could not resist. I miss him, and I feel that I have already processed things, and I want to give him a chance to make things right, you know,” I say, avoiding her eyes completely.“As long as he does not hurt you again because I swear to God if he even thinks-.”“It will be okay. This time, I will be careful,” I say, finally making eye contact and giving her a reassuring smile.I say that mostly to reassure myself and not Reina. I still have my doubts. No matter what I did he did not deserve to treat me the way he did. He treated me in a really disgusting manner.I remember that night as I cried frantically begging him to hear me out. I remember begging him not to leave me only for him to leave me. Leave me in the hands of the dangerous night. I remember how I almost got hurt that night. I remember how broken I was. I would never want to feel that way again. I will not give him the power to
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Porch
AdrianI am woken up by the sweet sound of birds chirping and the alluring scent of the woman I love most in the world. I hold her closer and I cannot shake off the feeling. The feeling of her body close to mine. I do not seem to mind how her hair constantly brushes on my face as she wakes up, as long as I am by her side. I hold her even closer and she wakes up with a smile. That beautiful smile that has drawn me to her since the day I laid my eyes on her. She is so beautiful as she wakes up. No makeup just natural beauty. I smile back as I place a small peck on her lips. Hmmmm those lips. I remember those lips being all over me last night. Last night was the best night of my life. Spending the night with her. Worshipping her body. Knowing and tracing every inch of her glorious soft skin. Learning my way through her stretch marks. Knowing her turnons. Teasing her as I enjoyed her climaxing again and again.***Last night***“Ellie, will you be my girlfriend?” I say my heart beating f

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
