THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Behind the Mask
"What was that about? What was Edward talking about? Who exactly are you?", Daniel asked, facing Allison. He had confronted her upon them getting home from the event. He had kept on thinking about Edward's allegations against Allison on their way home. "Could she truly be Molie? Did she actually staged Catherine's death?", he kept on thinking while stealing glances at her. "I …. I ….. can explain", Allison said, stammering as she realized she was about to be caught. "Were you scared I wouldn't accept you if I found out you were the one? Were you scared I would leave you and our son just as I had done before?", gullible Daniel cut in, saving Allison from getting exposed. Realizing it was a perfect umbrella for her to hid under, Allison pretended as if she was actually scared of what Daniel had said. "Yes, I was. I had thought you would abandon us again just like you did. I didn't want to cause Edward more pain as he was badly hurt due to the death of his mother. Hence, the reason

"Get the car ready", Daniel said, rushing to where his car was with Molie following suite. Daniel was restless throughout his journey to the hospital. Although, he never showed it, he loved Edward so much. The fear of Edward rejecting his love for him had stopped him from showing that he cared about him as Edward kept on blaming him for his mother's death. He felt guilty of Edward's accusation and so, he silently looked out for him with Edward not realizing it. When he found out Edward had finally found someone he was in love with, he had silently given them his blessing even before he met Ellie. Him asking Ellie to secure a collaboration before she could have Edward all to herself was all a disguise and a pretense, so as not to make Edward notice his affections for him. Allison noticed how tensed and worried Daniel was throughout their journey and she realized that something was off about him; something she was unable to place her fingers on. On getting to the hospital, Daniel quic

Ellie had managed to get herself into the house after she felt a sharp pain in her heart that night and she had collapsed on the floor. She managed to make her way to her couch and laid on it in a helpless and devastating state. She had become a shadow of herself. Her eyelids had become dark and her eyes were swollen. She laid helplessly on the couch, looking at the ceiling with a blank mind. She was too weak to the extent that she was unable to think and when she finally thought, she had thought about where Edward was and in what state he was. She was worried that Edward might be somewhere hurting himself while at the same time, blaming herself for hurting him so badly. She was extremely worried and restless and when she couldn't bear the thought of Edward hurting himself, she decided to check up on him by calling his line. As soon as she unlocked her phone, she had seen several missed calls from Edward and which made her heart skipped. She wondered why Edward had called. "Has he f

"Carry on with the plan as we had discussed. Make sure to report to the police tonight", Sophia said, instructing Jack on the phone that night, after she had hung up Ellie. "This is just the beginning of your torment. I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison. That's the only way I can keep Edward and make him mine forever", Sophia said smiling, after she had finished her discussion with Jack. With her grief overtaking her, Ellie sat immobile on the side of her bed, the room around her a haze. Her once brilliant eyes, now bloodshot and dull, gazed off into the distance as though trying to catch a glimpse of the life she had known. Her face was gentle and delicate, the traces of grief deep in it, her cheeks tarnished by innumerable tears. Her disheveled and twisted hair, which she used to take great pride in, now hung limply around her face, representing the turmoil inside her thoughts. She appeared to have lost the vivid energy that formerly radiated from her, leav

She was in a confused state and didn’t know what to do. Eventually, she decided to seek assistance and rushed the lifeless body to a nearby hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, he was rushed to the emergency ward where the doctor began to examine him.There was a continual, urgent hum in the emergency department, a cacophony of sounds mixing together in a frenzy of activity. The room is harshly and clinically lit by fluorescent lights, which give every nook and cranny an uncompromising glare. With experienced precision, nurses in multicolored scrubs raced quickly between beds, their faces fixed in determined attitudes as they checked vital signs, adjusted IVs, and comforted patients.The intense chats between doctors and nurses were punctuated by the continuous beeping of cardiac monitors. The sporadic alarm blare, indicating a critically ill patient, brought an abrupt acceleration of the already hectic pace. As they were pushed quickly around the linoleum floors, medical carts fi

Granny didn’t know what to do or what had happened to Ellie, but she decided to keep calling, hoping Ellie would eventually answer.Ellie, on the other hand, was still sleeping peacefully, her head resting on her folded arms on the guy’s bed. As the guy's eyes flickered open and the harsh light of the hospital room came into focus, he slowly came back to awareness. The air smelled of antiseptic, but his gaze was immediately drawn to the figure beside his bed. In the silent room, a young lady was hunched down in a chair, her head supported by her folded arms, her breathing calm and steady.Despite his discomfort, he couldn't help but notice her face's exquisite features as she slept. Her hair framed her face, falling softly across her cheek and accentuating her natural beauty.

"You know him?" Ellie asked, confused, wondering how her grandmother knew him. It was when Granny called his name that Ellie learnt his name was Kevin."Yes, I do," Granny responded in a low voice, walking up to Kevin, who was sitting on the bed."Where have you been all this time? I searched everywhere for you and your sister, but you both were nowhere to be found. I'm sorry I let go of you both that day; I shouldn't have," Granny said, touching his face, with sadness written all over her face. She observed Kevin and noticed that he was dressed in clothes that could almost be mistaken for rags. His hair looked rough and dirty, and he looked very unkempt. He was so thin that it was evident he had not been eating well. His state was devastating, making Granny tear up."If not for me and my family, you wouldn't have ended up this way. It's my fault this has happened to you and your sister. If I had raised my son properly, this wouldn't have happened. I'm sorry for all the pain we have c

THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Blood Ties, Broken Bonds
In the small, starkly lit police station, Stephanie sat, facing her daughter who was handcuffed. She gazed at Sophia with a sorrowful expression as her face, lined with concern, guilt and helplessness. She blamed herself for her daughter’s condition and suffering. “How did it come to this?” she had thought as she reminisced on the decision she had made in the past. She felt she could have done better and if not for her greediness and over-ambition,she wouldn't be sitting where she was. Regretting how she had lived her life so far, tears rolled down her eyes as her heart ached seeing her daughter in such a pathetic situation. She could see the hatred directed towards her in Sophia’s eyes. It was evident that she hated her presence, but Stephanie couldn’t hate her for that as she knew she deserved to be treated in such a way. “My baby .........” Stephanie said amid her tears, stretching her hands forth to hold that of her daughter’s but before she could do so, Sophia gave her a “A
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Torn at the Crossroads
After driving for hours with no destination in mind, Ellie finally made her way to Cheetahs. She sat at the bar with her swollen eyes, staring blankly at the vodka the bartender had served her. The club was lively and rowdy with music blaring from the speakers, almost deafening her. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, but she was the only one who wasn’t. She looked around the bar and everything had changed from what it used to be when she worked there. There were new faces around and all the old folks she worked with were nowhere to be found. She watched as everyone in the club except for her danced happily to the tune of the rhythm. She felt odd as she was the only being sitting in a corner, looking all sad and abandoned. Her gaze landed on a couple who were dancing gracefully and lovingly, and it was evident the duo was really into each other. The sight of them made her remember the first time she had an encounter with Edward. The wave of the beautiful moments they both share
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Shadow of The Past, Choices of The Heart
“And so? That’s the past and the past should remain as the past. You had your chance with her, but you missed it. So, stop being a crybaby and let bygones be bygones!!!!!” Richard, who had gotten over the shock of Edward’s outburst yelled. “What? Let bygones be bygones? Should that be coming from you? Have you forgotten what you did to me in the past? You whom I saw as my best friend and ally, slept with my wife countless times and got her pregnant. You both were even planning to pin your child on me, and you were aiming for my downfall. Don’t you feel bad for what you did to me? You were the only one I trusted the most. How could you have done that to me?!!!” Edward yelled, staggering towards Richard, with hurt in his voice. Although the betrayal he got from Richard happened six years earlier, he still felt the pain and the agony in his heart. He had trusted him with his whole heart and if someone had told him he would get betrayed by Richard, he wouldn’t have believed it due to th
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Claiming What Was Lost
Ellie, Daniel and Richard were all at Daniel’s mansion, celebrating their victory. After Sophia’s arrest at the hall, they had dismissed the guests and they all had headed to Daniel’s house to celebrate their accomplishment. They were seated in his gigantic living room, toasting to their success and just then, a male figure walked in. The figure staggered and was walking as if he would drop dead anytime soon. He looked dishevelled and his hair was rough. The more he walked closer to them, the more the smell of alcohol filled their noses, evidence that the figure had drowned himself in alcohol for quite some hours. The sight of him made them halt in their celebration and confusion was hitched on their faces. There were strains of dried tears of the figure’s cheeks which showed that he had been shedding tears. When the figure finally got to where they were seated, he halted in his steps and turned to face Daniel.“Edward, what’s wrong? Why are you like this?” Daniel asked, as concern la
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE The Sting of Revenge
Sophia stood frozen in place, her eyes were wide and unblinking as she watched Ellie walked onto the stage. Her mouth was slightly opened in surprise as she was finding it hard to believe the scene before her. Her lips were parted, trying to utter some words but the words wouldn’t come out. Her eyebrows were high raised, and a slight of furrows formed on her forehead, amplifying the confusion and disbelief etched on her face. “What ..... are you ....... talking about? She is the CEO?” Sophia finally asked, facing Claire who was standing beside her, with her finger pointed in the direction of Ellie. “Yes, she is. She is the CEO and founder of Annie Fashion Group. Hope you like the surprised we planned for you?” Claire said, as her smile transformed in an instant, revealing something far deeper than the polite, practiced expression she had always worn. The edges of her lips curled up slowly, but there was no warmth in the gesture. Instead, it felt calculated, sharp, as if the smile
