THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Would It Make Any Difference?
Diam maneuvered into the street, with only one destination in mind. Mr. Phillips' residence. His jaw twitched in fury, and it only got worse the closer he got. He hated being played a fool, and that was what Baby and her Father were doing.He finally reached the dark neighborhood of Phillips Smith and quickly alighted from his car.He kicked the main door open and barged into the house. Phillips Smith was running out of his room in sheer hysteria."Sir..." Phillips Smith choked on his words as Diam hurled him to the wall. His cries echoed into the night."Where the fuck is she?!" Diam roared."I..don't...know..." Phillips let out another loud cry as Diam stomped hard on his leg."I'm sick and tired of her games. Bring her out right now or you don't get to see another daylight!"It was a threat Diam wasn't sure he would follow through. But one thing was for sure. He wasn't leaving without Baby by his side."Who are you searching for?" Phillips Smith whimpered, wringing in pains on the
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Let Me Take Care Of You
Baby walked into the sparse bedroom with a long line of bodyguards trailing behind her.Her sudden, immature escape plan was a huge flop. She didn't even make it to the outskirts of 'Smiles' before a van of men pulled in front of her. They were all dressed in black suits and wore dark shades. They'd carried her back to the mansion like a stray dog. She has never felt so helpless. She climbed up the bed, covering her trembling body with the duvet. Her eyes fluttered sleepily but the hard thud from the door got her sitting up with a gasp.Her chest pounded brutally at the sight of Dane Diam. His gaze was dark and murderous. His clenched fist trembled in anger, and his jaw lines hardened intensively.Diam marched towards her, grabbing her by her arms in a tight grip. His fingers pierced mercilessly into her skin, making her cry out loud."What the fuck were you thinking, Baby?" Diam said in between clenched teeth. "Let me go!" Baby screamed at the pricking pain his fingers inflicted on
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS What Makes The Pain Go Away
It was a bright Friday morning and the beauty of the 'Smiles' neighborhood shone with the sun. It was indeed a beautiful place. It was almost few hours to noon but Diam and Baby were still in bed. Diam, who'd barely slept, was kissing her again whilst she slept.All through the night, Diam had chosen to adorn her lips with kisses. He kissed her every hour that passed. The taste of her lips was intoxicating. He couldn't seem to get enough of it.Baby was one hell of a deep sleeper so she had no clue what was going on around her throughout the night. While they were still together on the bed, Diam's little cousin walked in and let out a gasp at the sight right in front of her.She could not believe that her brother had graduated to bringing "his women" into their main house. She was like a real daughter of the household because she had lived with them for a long time, since the death of her parents. It was a horrible accident that took both their lives in one day. They were on their wa
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Who Is She?
Baby could feel her heart racing with each word he said. Just yesterday, he'd been so rough on her. Today, he was being nice. And it was the cutest sight ever."What do you use?" He asked her again."I don't remember. My father bought everything for me. It never occurred to me to study the names,""Alright then. We will go to the pharmacy on our way to the company,"Baby was surprised to hear that from Diam. She didn't think she would go with him to his company. She had to confirm what she just heard."Am I going with you to your company?"Of course you are. I need to keep you close at all times. That's the only way I can focus."Baby blushed. "Alright.""Good. Do you have enough sanitary pads with you?""What?" Baby could not believe Diam would ask her that question. A question she wasn't comfortable answering even with her father."I just asked you if your sanitary pads would be enough or you would like to get more. Isn't that what you use?""It is, Diam," She was downright embarras
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS My First At Everything
Diam entered his room and found Baby rolling on the bed with her hands on her lower abdomen. She was having terrible menstrual cramps. She usually have terrible menstrual cramps but her medications lessen the pains.She was rolling and crying on the bed. Diam rushed to her side and helped her sit up. "Hey, Baby. Look at me. What's wrong?""Cramps...""Is the pain that serious?""Yes. It hurts." She cried. "I need some medications for it.""I don't have any of those here and my sister will never give me even if she had any. What about regular painkillers? Would it help?" Diam asked, making her rest her head on his chest. Baby glanced at the man and nodded her head instead. She was too weak to speak up."Okay. I'll go get you my pain killers. Be right back."Diam laid Baby carefully on the bed and went into his bathroom. He pulled out a drawer and took out his painkillers. He rushed into the room and helped Baby with the pills.He gave her the bottled water on the nightstand as well.D
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS She's An Intruder
Dane Dana was outraged at her son's outright rebellious act. Her eyes lowered to their intertwined fingers. This can't be happening. First, he picks a skank from the slums, then he's on matching outfits with her, and now, they're holding hands. What would be next? A bloody wedding?! Her wild imagination ran as far as foreseeing the great scandal that was gonna stir up if the public sees the two of them in each other's company. It would be a bloody disaster. The thought alone had goosebumps down her spines. This was all too much for her heart to handle.Her brown eyes conveyed the venomous fury welling up in her as she fixed them on her son and his skank. Diam, who always took it as his personal task to rain in her parade, was defiantly returning her glare.Dane Dana clenched her hands in an angry fist. She always lost to her son in their power tussles. But not this time, not when it involved everything she'd worked so hard to protect.Diam got down the stairs, carefully securing Baby
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS A Sucker For Kisses
The silence in the confinement of the limousine was torturing for Baby, who had her head bowed since they left the house. She tried glancing his way and caught those green eyes, staring intently at her. Again, she looked away, unable to return the stares."Are you alright?" Diam asked. He drew terribly closer, till their thighs touched and there was barely no room for Baby. He reached for her hand, giving it a warm squeeze.Baby gulped. She tried putting some space between them but his hold on her hand had her in place. "Diam...""Yes?" But he wasn't looking at her, or maybe, he was, but just at a part of her. Her lips. Full, pink, succulent, enticing lips. He brought his face closer, but she quickly looked away. He smiled. "You can't deny me those lips. That'll be sheer wickedness.""What's your plan for me, Diam?" Baby dared to ask. She had to. The ugly scene this morning was still engraved in her heart. She had to know what would become of her."I don't know." Diam voiced out trut
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS What Took You So Long?
The silence that followed grew icier with each fleeting second. With no one breaking the silence, Baby was fidgety. Her heart pounded brutally against her chest. Fear gripped her shitless as she realized she had greatly overstepped her bounds. She managed a glance at him and he had just a blank stare on. She could not fathom what thoughts ran through his mind at the moment. Her uneasiness grew, and she wished the earth would just break open and take her in. That fate would be preferable than dealing with the wrath of a Dane. History has it that their ruthlessness against their offenders is second to none.Again, she glanced at him. Unable to hold it in anymore, she broke out into tears. "I'm sorry, Sir Diam. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to be blunt. I'm sorry." She pleaded, hoping that would be enough to save her from any agony.Diam, who was taken slightly aback by her words, was stunned at her sudden outburst. Not sure of how to react, he laughed out loud. Never, not even in his

THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS More To This Than Meets The Eyes
The two guys hurried to the parking lot, which was at a secluded area, away from the main parking lot of the clubhouse. The Danes practically ran the place, so it's no wonder they had their own...everything! David, on seeing them, alighted from the car and bowed his head."Where is he?" Blane asked. "He's inside, Sir Blane.""Open it.""Sure." David nodded and opened the door, revealing a sleeping Diam and Baby.Any onlooker would find it impossible to say who looked more stupified amongst the two guys. They both had their eyes barely hanging to their sockets, gaping at the sight in front of them.Roland spoke first, but it was more of a stutter. "That's...that can't be...is that... really Diam?""Nah, it can't be." Blane chuckled incredulously. "There has to be an oversight.""Yeah, like...what if that guy is an imposter? A lookalike?""No, Sir Roland. That's Sir Dane Diam.""Like I said, an oversight. You gotta think. Figure out the loophole. Maybe at some point, you picked up a m
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Out Of Character
FLASHBACK"Are you alright?" Diam asked, his voice laced with immense concern.It's been weeks since Baby came into his life and home. Been weeks he stopped existing and started living. Everything changed with her around. His austerity was replaced with warmth and enthusiasm. Everyday, he looked forward to waking up in the morning and finding her in his arms. She was his muse, he'd learnt to embrace that fact. Those unsure feelings were sure now– he cared for her, more than he'd ever cared for anyone. All his life, he'd seen ladies as bland. Their incessant fawning to get their way into his bed had triggered the disgust he felt towards ladies. But Baby, she was different. You could see it all in her eyes, no room for pretence. She was an open book, and each day, he was addicted to reading her, knowing her. His rash decision in making her his partner certainly paid off. Now he wondered what life would be like if she wasn't here. But she was, by his side, in his car, with that flushed
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS A Quarter Mile At A Time
"Thank you," He kissed Angel's cheek. "And yeah, I was kidding. Your Mama would never spout sewages. She looks smarter than that."Clenching and unclenching her fist, Baby was running out of patience with Diam's sarcasms and snide remarks. "You should leave.""I know. God, I know." Diam got on his knees. It was the most disparaging thing he'd ever done. But she was worth it. "Angel, please. I really need to go. But I can't if you don't come with. I'll take care of you–""Just like you promised four years ago, right?" Baby added lowly, clamly but the pains were latched on her words.Diam looked up at her beseechingly. "I could scream my lungs out, rain down my apologies, have a thunderbolt strike it into your heart, but it wouldn't be enough to let you realize just how sorry I am. I have no excuse, and I'm running out of words already. If you could just look into my heart, let go of your anger and take just one peek at my heart, then you'll see. I'm at my lowest, Baby. I'm on my fuckin
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Angel And Diam
It took the words leaving him and her round eyes taking a deep shade of red for Diam to realize it was him who needed to be let down gently.Having to leave just when he was beginning to feel that home was shitty. But he hadn't realized just how much until he spewed out the words. As the tears dropped down her eyes, he felt the excruciating pain like he'd been jabbed by sharp spikes. "You're... leaving?" Angel sobbed, clinging to the collar of his shirt."Only because I need to," Diam took it upon himself to wipe off the tears before they could make their way down. "But, but you said...you said you didn't wanna go," "And I mean it. I'd give anything to stay. But, I've got obligations and it's crazy that I just can't leave them unattended," Diam tried explaining, chocking back tears."In the big castle? Mama said you belonged there, not here with us.""That's not true. I belong wherever you're at. Both you and your mama. But for the next few hours, I need to take care of something."
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Befitting For A Dane
"What happened?" Diam came rushing to her. He'd heard their voices from the kitchen. "If it isn't the homewrecker, Dane Diam. I think it's safe to say you've succeeded so my congratulations are in order." She replied sardonically, shoving him aside and going downstairs."Wait, Baby. What are you talking about?" Diam held her hand and she turned. Her finger dug into his flesh and with a wince, he dropped her hand."My daughter asked me to leave her room for the very first time.""Why would she say that?""Take a wild guess!""You two argued about me, didn't you? I'm so sorry...""Don't be. For someone doing what he's best at, you shouldn't be sorry."Taking out her anger at him was logical. Even though it wasn't his intentions, his presence here had erupted whatever serenity might have existed. But what was crazy was the fact that he wasn't sorry for coming. It was either coming here or loosing his mind, and he would never choose the latter."You know what else she said? She said I wa
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS I'll Never Be Whole Again
Downstairs, Diam found Angel exactly where he'd left her. Her plates were empty and she was gulping down the last of her coffee. She looked up and grinned, softly slamming her mug on the table."Thank you for the breakfast, fine mister." Diam took a seat next to her, taking her hands and placing kisses on her palms. "You should be thanking your Mama. I didn't move a muscle.""It's okay. I'll thank her too." Angel giggled. "Your Mama said I should come down here and say my good-byes to you,"Sighing, her smile vanished and she pouted. "Do you really need to go?""No. I could always stay here if your mama would let me.""Really?!" Angel shrieked excitedly. "You'll stay with us?""Only if your mama would let me." He shrugged, and bent closer to her. "Tell me something, dear. Does your mama bring home male visitors?""No. Except the mailman and the old neighbors across the street who brings us cakes occasionally, we don't get much visitors.""Why is that?""Mama said we're better off al
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS A Futile Interrogation
Stepping past the threshold of her room, Baby slammed her door close. It didn't slam. Sharply, she spun around and gasped. "What are you doing here?" Her feet moved backwards, seeking refuge. But there was none. Not in her small room, not in an exquisite bedroom, not anywhere in the world!"I'll be damned if I allowed you a second alone." Diam shut the door, locking it firmly to avoid any intrusion. This time, she had to spell it all out for him. He was damn sick of her games."Don't come any closer!" She clenched out."That depends on you. I need answers and I need them right now. And I swear to God, I'll do anything to get them, even if I have to pin you down. Literally, pin you down." His brows were raised, giving her the utmost clarification of his every word."You're gonna manhandle me? How low of you!""It's up to you. I could be the perfect gentleman, with my hands safely stashed away in my pockets, provided you give me answers. And not just answers, but the damn truth! I've h
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Breakfast And More
Halfway through her journey back to sanity, Baby could barely make out coherent words for her little girl.With her hands clinging to his arms, and his, firmly wrapped around her waist, Baby knew she was caught in the act.Devastation rushed in with great tide at the realization that her little girl might know exactly what they'd been doing.She was downright flushed; the stench of her juice lingered on the table; her lips were swollen from his kisses. They were all there – everything to point out what nastiness had gone on minutes ago. Still, with the last ounce of hope, she prayed her little girl doesn't figure it out."What happened?" Angel gasped at the broken plates on the floor. "My China!" They were hers; her favourite to be exact."They fell–" Diam finally picked up his words, and lowered his head to stare into Baby's eyes. –"from your Mama's hands. It was an accident." Startled by his lies, Baby could only gawk at him. His daring gaze had her speechless. There was more to hi
THE BILLIONAIRE'S GEMS Only At Pretty Sights
Diam woke up to the clattering of plates from the kitchen wing. He sighed groggily, muttering profanities at the damned chef who chose to be so noisy. Sitting up, he took a quick glance around, almost surprised at what he was doing on a couch. Then it dawned on him. The happenings of last night. Baby. He puffed, slouching into the sofa. The noises grew, raking through his ears.Upset, he stood and headed to the direction of the noises. Blasting her was not a good way to start the morning. But neither were the noises. It's a Saturday, for Pete's sake!Her back came to view, and whatever profanities he'd arranged in his head eluded him.Slow steps brought him to the doorway, and there he stood, lost and stunned.It was not the first time he'd been allured by her beauty. But each time always feels like a first. Today was no exception. Her backless black gown, studded with diamonds was the most seductive dress he'd ever laid his eyes on. Skimpy, lingering just few inches below her waist.
