THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE A Fight for Freedom
The following morning, Ellie woke up to the chiming ringing of her cellphone. Getting up tirelessly, she reached for her phone on the night stand and the caller was an unknown individual. So as not to disturb Edward's sleep, she silent the phone and quietly walked to the living room to pick the call. "Hello, who is this?", Ellie asked, on getting to the living room and picking the call but she got no response in return. She had thought the network was bad and kept on saying hello, thinking the receiver was finding it difficult to hear her. After several attempts of getting the caller engaged and with no response, she decided to end the call. But as she was about hanging up, she heard the voice of the man behind her nightmare. "Hello, wifey", Kevin said on the other end of the line, making Ellie shivered and cringed on hearing his voice. Although he was not present, Ellie felt his scary presence just by hearing his voice. Ellie couldn't respond and just kept quiet, trying her possibl
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Shattered Silence
"Don't come close to me", Ellie yelled, trying to get up from the bed and head to the exit. But before she could get up from the bed, Kevin moved towards her in a swift, and pinned her down on the bed, with no way for her to escape. "Please, don't do this", Ellie begged with tears in her eyes. "I am sorry, my love. You brought this upon yourself", Kevin said, leaning in. Ellie fought as hard as she could to stop Kevin but she couldn't overpower him due to his strength. And right there at that moment, Ellie was raped and molested. Despite Ellie's plead and cries, Kevin didn't stop."You are still as sweet as you used to", Kevin said as soon as he got up from the bed, after having raped Ellie. Ellie just laid on the bed, motionless, with tears in her eyes, overwhelmed by the horror of what had just transpired between them. On the day she was getting married and was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, she felt utterly broken. How could she have allowed for this to happen? At t
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Echoes of Tomorrow
"How did you find me?", Ellie managed to ask Edward, who was facing her. "I got scared thinking that you were kidnapped and I had no other option than to report you missing to the police. They saw the car dropped you here after watching the CCTV. Hence, the reason we found you here", Edward calmly explained. "I am so sorry for troubling you. I promise such won't repeat itself again", Ellie said in a low voice, which was evident that she was tired. "Can we head home now?", Edward asked, after noticing that Ellie was tired. Ellie responded by nodding her head. Edward drove Ellie home and all through their journey, none of them said anything. On getting home, Ellie sat on the couch in the sitting room, tirelessly. Edward moved up to her and also sat beside her. "Will you take a shower and head to bed?", Edward asked. "I will do just that", Ellie managed to say. "Okay. Let me run your bath for you", Edward said, getting up, ready to head to the bathroom. "Edward", Ellie called, up
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Vows and Secrets
"Today, I am here to join you two together as husband and wife. Can we proceed to sharing the vows and exchanging the rings?", the priest, who was a man in his early 50 asked. "Yes, you can", Edward responded, with joy evident in his voice and on his face, after getting a confirmation from Ellie that the ceremony could take-off. "So, can the groom go ahead and say his vows?", the priest asked. "Ellie, I knew you were the one who would bring my life to completion the moment I laid eyes on you. I'm not just standing here taking your hand in marriage; I'm also promising you my undying love. I promise to be your best friend, your steadfast ally, and your constant companion. I pledge to support you at your highs and lows, to rejoice in every victory, no matter how tiny, and to share in your pleasures and sorrows", Edward said, pausing. "I promise to love you unconditionally, to always treat you with dignity and respect, and to treasure each day that we have together. I promise to be a
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE The Night Everything Changed
"What did I do to him three days ago?", Ellie nervously asked, trying to know the depth of the information Sophia had about her. "I know you killed him", Sophia said, whispering into Ellie's ears which made Ellie shivered and mute. Sophia was able to see through her and found out that she was scared. She took it as an opportunity to taunt and threaten her. "How do you think your dear husband would react if he finds out what happened three days ago and the fact that you actually slept with your ex-husband before killing him? Should I call him your ex-husband or your husband because you are still legally married to him? ", Sophia said, with a devilish smile on her face. "I didn't sleep with him, he raped me", Ellie said, trying to defend herself and clear her name. "He raped you? Did he force you to enter the hotel room? Do you think Edward would believe you when there are pictures of you guys kissing and a video of the nice time you had together?", Sophia said, mockingly. "Picture
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE A Heart in Ruins
Edward's eyes were fixed on the projector and the picture he was seeing right in front of him. He found it hard to believe and kept denying the fact that it was Ellie in the picture."I trust her. She isn't the one. She can never betray me," he kept saying in his head, trying to wave off any form of doubt. The audience was already gossiping and saying all sorts of things. Sophia, satisfied with the expression on Ellie's face and her dismay, smiled with satisfaction."I told you I would pay you back in your own coin. This is just the beginning. Chill and enjoy the ride as the real show is about to begin," Sophia said, laughing hysterically."Why are you doing this to me?" Ellie asked, with tears in her eyes."Why am I doing this? You dare to ask me that? You ruined my marriage! You stole Edward away from me! You made life a fucking hell for me and turned me into an object of ridicule, and here you are asking me why I am doing this? This is just the beginning of your torment, darling. L
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE The Last Glimpse
Throughout their ride home, neither Ellie nor Edward said anything. As he drove, Ellie kept on stealing glances at Edward and she wondered what he was thinking inside of his head. She had expected him to react in a wrong way but he never did. He just fixed his eyes on the road, driving home at a high speed. Edward on the other hand too was hurt and angry but he decided not to vent his anger on Ellie. He thought she had been criticized enough and didn't want to add to her pain. He was hurt and heartbroken no doubt, but he decided not to say anything as he knew anything he says would hurt Ellie. "How could she have done this to me? Why did she lie to me? I asked her so many times if she was hiding somethings from me but she said "No". Why did she hurt me like this?", Edward kept on thinking. The more he drove, the more he got angry, clenching his fists on the driving wheel and driving at a fast speed. The silent treatment Edward was giving Ellie was killing her inside and when she noti
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE A Shattered Night
As Edward drove with no destination in mind, he kept on thinking about what had happened that night. His heart was heavy and the pains he was feeling that night was quite familiar as it was the same pain he had felt the day his mother died and the night he found out Sophia was cheating on him. But the pain he was feeling that night was different; it hurts different. The pain was more than the ones he had felt before and he felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. He tried taking the scene off his head but he just couldn't. He tried focusing on the road ahead but he just couldn't. He also tried to brace himself up not to cry but he didn't know when tears started to roll down his eyes, making his vision blurred. "Why did she do this to me? Despite the love I have for. How could she deceive me and hid such a thing from me when I was so transparent and opened with her? Why do I get hurt every time I try to fall in love? Why can't I ever be happy? Just why?", Edward yelle

With the evidence provided by Jack and Ellie anonymously, Sophia was found guilty of the murders of Pamela, Jack’s lover, and Kevin.

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
