THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE The Hurtful Revelation
‘Why did you kill her? Is Dad aware you orchestrated the accident which led to her death?’ Richard asked, still shocked by his mother’s revelation. ‘No, he isn’t aware. As for why I killed her, Daniel caused it all. Few months before Catherine died, Daniel found out I was cheating on him with his brother, Liam. After finding out about my infidelity, he changed towards me and then one day, he asked for us to break up. He told me he was done with our relationship. He said he wanted to focus on Catherine and their son, Edward, and give love a chance between them. I felt hurt by his words and tried to convince him to go back on his words, but he wouldn’t budge. I loathe losing and I couldn’t stand Catherine having Daniel to herself. So, I devised a plan to make Daniel have a change of heart. Guess what I did?’ Allison (Molie) said, facing her son Richard, showing how happy she was, with the decision she took 20 years ago. ‘Just like every other woman would have done, I devised a plan.

Upon entering Ellie’s house, Edward had met her in the kitchen cooking. Her back was turned on him and watching her as she cooked, he couldn’t help but to be reminded of his mother, Catherine. As a child, Edward was a picky eater, and he wouldn’t allow anyone cook for him apart from his mother. Ellie moved the same way his mother used to, whenever she was cooking, and Ellie was focused just the way his mother used to be focused whenever she was preparing a meal. Setting his eyes on Ellie and watching her from behind, made him felt relieved of the sorrow that had filled his heart upon discovering that his mother’s death was not an accident. There was that kind of peace he always felt whenever he was with Ellie. ‘What are you cooking, Beauty?’, Edward asked, hugging Ellie from behind. ‘When did you come in? Did you sneak up on me?’, Ellie, who was surprised by Edward sudden presence asked. ‘I came in a few minutes ago. How was your day?’, Edward asked, wrapping his arms around El

Earlier that day, Ellie had called Sophia after having gotten her number from Edward’s phone.‘Hello, Sophia. It’s been a long time’, Ellie had said, after Sophia picked her call.‘Excuse me, who am I speaking with?’, Sophia, who was unaware of the identity of the individual she was on the line with asked, confused.‘Have you forgotten me so soon? Have you finally given up on Edward? Seems like you have already accepted the fact that he chose me over you’, Ellie said, smiling.‘Oh, it’s you. It’s nice hearing your voice once again. I have been meaning to get in touch with you. Do you mind me having a short conversation with you this evening? I will come over to the club if you do not mind’, Sophia said, in a rather calm voice.‘The club? Seems you are not aware I do not work there anymore. I now work in a Fashion company as the Personal Assistant to the Vice-President of the company. At least, I have to try and meet up to Edward’s standard’, Ellie said, smiling over the phone.‘You wor

Closing the door quietly, Sophia moved toward the stairs with her shaky legs. Her eyes filled with tears and frustration. Ellie’s mocking smile kept on replaying in her mind. She was heartbroken and pained. She felt heartbroken and pained not because she was in love with Edward, but because she just couldn’t stand seeing Ellie and Edward together. She wanted Edward all to herself. She couldn’t stand seeing another woman near the men she wanted."Why must it be her? Why?", Sophia yelled in frustration, as she walked down the stairs."I won’t allow this to happen. If he can’t be mine, he will never be hers. Who does she think she is? She is just a nobody!!!!!!!!!!", Sophia yelled, venting her anger on her handbag which she threw away."I swear with my life, I am going to kill her. Where the hell is Jack?", she shouted in anger, bringing out her phone from her handbag which she had picked from the floor, to call Jack."Where the hell are you?", Sophia, who was frustrated, yelled at Jack o

'So, what do you decide on doing? Do you want me to give birth to your child in prison? If you let this go, I may consider your request to pay your sick father’s medical bill. So, what do you say?’, Sophia asked, rubbing her belly. Since she hit her stomach on the steering wheel earlier, she had been feeling pain, but she didn’t pay much attention to it, as she had thought it was as a result of her stressing herself too much.‘Are you being serious right now?’, Jack, who was surprised by what Sophia said asked.‘Is that a yes from you?’, Sophia asked.‘Are you sure you wouldn’t go back on your word?’, Jack, who knew how dubious and manipulative Sophia was asked.‘That depends on how you behave. If you don’t go running your mouth, then you have my word. But remember this, the day I hear about this from a third party is going to be your father’s last day on Earth. Is that understood?’, Sophia said, whispering into Jack's ear, expecting an acknowledgement from him, which she never got.‘I

After being discharged from the hospital, Sophia decided to spend some days at her parents’ house, devising her revenge plan. During her stay at the hospital, neither Edward nor Richard came visiting. Sophia had warned Jack, who apart from the Doctor and her parents knew about the miscarriage, never to mention it to anyone.Several days of thinking on how to avenge her baby, brought her to a decision: to work in Edward’s father’s company. Being close to Edward and Ellie would make her get her revenge on Ellie as soon as possible, she had thought. Since her father was a partner of the company, it would be easy having her way into the company.On one of those days when her father got home, she had made her intention of working in the Lions Fashion Group known.‘Dad, I would like to work with Edward at his father’s company’, Sophia had said.‘Is there a reason for that? Do you know since when I have been begging you to work for my company?’, her dad asked.‘Nothing, dad. Just feel it’s ti

‘Are you fine?’, Ellie asked the enraged Edward, after Sophia had left. ‘Yes, I am. Just wondering what she is up to. Why did she choose to work here all of a sudden?’ Edward said, getting worked up. ‘Sit down and calm your nerves. It’s only when you are calm, that you can figure out her plan’, Ellie said, motioning for Edward to have his seat. ‘I actually have something to ...........’, Ellie said, after Edward had sat down but was cut short of her statement by Edward’s ringing phone. Edward felt hesitant about picking the call, but he eventually picked it. It was his father on the line. ‘Hello’, Edward said, upon picking the call. ‘We will be having a family dinner tonight. I need you and Sophia to be here by 6pm’, Daniel said, hanging up on Edward. ‘Is anything the problem?’, Ellie asked, upon noticing Edward’s facial expression after ending the call. ‘It’s nothing. You were saying something earlier. What was that about?’, curious Edward asked Ellie. ‘Was I? Can’t se

‘What did you just say?’, shocked Daniel asked Edward.‘I said I want a divorce. I am fucking tired of living my whole life just to please you. I don’t even love her. Do you know she is cheating on me?’, Edward yelled at his father.‘And so what? I married your mother despite the fact that I didn’t love her, but I did that for the sake of my father and the sake of the company. I abandoned the woman I loved just to be with your mother. These are some of the things you sacrifice for the sake of the company. Stop being immature and grow up’, Daniel yelled back at Edward.‘Is that why you and your mistress killed her? Immature? I am not the immature one here, you are. You wouldn’t have cheated on and betrayed my mother if you were mature. You wouldn’t have left the woman you claimed you truly loved just because of your own selfish interest. You chose the company over her, remember?’, Edward said back at his father. This got Daniel angry, making him slap Edward on his cheek.‘Don’t you dare

Days went by and both Edward and Ellie had gotten back together. They stayed by each other’s side, healing their broken hearts. Ellie moved in with Edward as Richard had advised.

Richard and Ellie’s wedding which had been previously announced was cancelled, which made different headlines in the country. After some time, the two lovers decided to get married. The news of their wedding was a heavy blow on Richard and hurt his heart but nevertheless, he supported the woman he loved and made sure he partook in the preparation towards the event.

THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Finally Letting Go
Two weeks passed and by this time, both Sophia and Jack had been arraigned at the court. With the evidence provided by Jack and Ellie anonymously, Sophia was found guilty of the murders of Pamela, Jack’s lover, and Kevin. She was sentenced to life imprisonment while Jack on the other hand, was sentenced to three years imprisonment for being an accomplice. Stephanie became a shadow of herself as right in front of her, she lost everything. She lost her wealth, her status and her children.

He had become a drunkard since the incident that happened at Daniel’s house that day and had turned the club into his new abode. He was always at the club from morning till night, drinking himself to
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
