THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE A Mother's Grief
The day Ivory died; Ellie had left her at home with Kevin. It was on a weekend and Ellie had gotten a call from her boss that her attention was needed urgently. She hurriedly left home that morning, leaving Ivory in Kevin’s care and promising to be back as soon as possible. “Baby, mum needs to get to the office. Something urgent came up. In the meantime, stay with daddy and be a good girl. I won’t take long. I will make sure to come back as soon as possible” Ellie said to Ivory, who was munching her food happily. “No problem, mummy. Don’t stay long as I will be waiting for you to come back. When you are coming mummy, can you get me Ice-cream and cake?” Ivory said innocently, with her mouth filled with food, which made Ellie laugh. “I won’t take long princess and I will make sure to get you the Ice-cream and cake while on my way home. I love you and stay safe” Ellie said, giving Ivory a peck. “I love you too, mummy. Bye” Ivory said, smiling and waving at her mum and which gladde

She found herself walking in a garden which was filled with beautiful flowers. As she walked through the garden in her long flowery white gown, she felt the air brush through her, blowing her long dark curled hair, which was dangling on her shoulders. She was pleased with the serene in front of her and she closed her eyes, breathing in the fresh air and beaming with joy. She was busy appreciating the nature around her, when she had the giggling of a little child nearby. This laughter disrupted her admiration and she decided to trace where the sound was coming from. The more she walked, the closer the laughter became. After walking for a while, she stumbled on a woman, holding a little girl in her arms. The laughter was coming from the little girl the woman was holding in her arms. Although their backs were turned on her and she couldn’t see their faces, they both looked happy judging from the laughter of the little girl and their body movements. She watched as the duo played, while

As she watched Ivory’s casket being laid in the ground, Ellie’s heart ached. She felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She stood motionless, with her big budged eyes, which was as a result of crying. Her eyes were fixed on her casket and when she realized she wouldn’t ever set her eyes on her beloved daughter again, tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn’t shout, neither did she create a scene, she just stood there, crying silently in pain. She was too tried to cry and display her grief. So, all she could do was to cry silently as she bid her daughter a final goodbye. As she turned around to take her leave after bidding her daughter goodbye, she felt her legs too heavy for her to carry. She couldn’t bear the pain of leaving her daughter all alone in the underground, without her being by her side. Ivory had always being scared of being alone and Ellie wondered how she would be able to cope with being alone, all by herself. As she took each step heading towards home, her heart w

“What did you just say?” Kevin asked, his face narrowing down in suspicion.“You think that I am not aware? That you were cheating on me? I knew all along, even before I and Ivory came down here. I heard your conversation with Carla that night before you moved here. I didn’t make a scene out of it or confronted you about it because you said you never loved her. You said you were just with her for her money and nothing more. I heard you tell Carla that I am the one you love. You told her you were doing it for us all to live a good and better life, but I doubt that was true. Because if you do not love her, you wouldn’t have left Ivory all alone just to meet up with her. You wouldn’t have killed a child you claimed to be yours!!!!” Ellie’s voice shook with fury as her fists clenched, her face flushed red. Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with her anger as she faced Kevin with the painful truth.“What? You knew?’ Kevin asked, with the corners of his lips trembling, betraying his a

Ellie headed back home in annoyance, for having failed to expose Kevin’s secret. She promised herself never to give up and look for the perfect timing to expose him again. Kevin on the other hand, was still at work. He had returned back home with Carlos to his house. He watched over him as he settled into the chair in his study room and took a sip of water from the glass cup placed on his table. Kevin still remembered the first time he stepped into Carlos’ mansion and he had never thought back then that, he would someday be by his side, watching over him. He thought about the determined look on Ellie’s face and he knew she wouldn’t stop until she achieved her aim. He had to find a way to stop her as he wasn’t strong enough to face Carlos’ wrath. He knew what Carlos was capable and he had witnessed how people who betrayed him ended. He never wanted to suffer the same fate as them.“Is there something you need to tell me?” Carlos asked, as he removed his glasses from his eyes and looked

“You are surprised I know about that? Well, some things are not meant to be hidden forever,” Clark laughed, watching Kevin squirm. Kevin wondered how he had gotten to know about his affair with Nicole and at that moment, he became engulfed with fear. He knew Clark didn’t like him and had been looking for a way to get rid of him. Now that he had finally gotten a chance, he wouldn’t stop at anything to make him vanish into thin air. He knew Clark wanted something from him, which was why he had confronted him with his secret, if not, he would have gone to Carlos directly to divulge his findings to him. “What do you want?” Kevin asked, wanting to know what Clark needed from him, in exchange for keeping his secret from Carlos. “Do you know why I have a bit of liking for you even though I detest you so much for having a way to my father’s heart? Because you are so smart, and you decode things easily. I will tell you want I want but I would rather do that over a glass of wine. Come over

Everything was going accordingly as Kevin had planned. Just like he and Clark agreed, he arranged his meeting with Ellie at their home and made him have his way with her against her will. Despite Ellie’s pleas that night, Kevin never listened, nor did he care as what he was after was to satisfy Clark’s need and make him shut his mouth. What was agreed on to be a one-off thing, gradually turned into a daily activity, as Clark couldn’t get enough of Ellie. At first, when Clark suggested for the deal to continue, Kevin didn’t want to agree, but when Clark stated that he would be paid for each night spent with his wife, Kevin immediately gave in to his demand. Each night, Clark kept on getting intimate with Ellie against her will. There was no way for her to seek for help, as her phone had been seized and she was always locked up in her room. The only time she was free was when she had to clean herself up, in preparation for Clark’s next visit. She was always tied to the bed before Clar

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 didn’t want him and Ellie to be together quite often as he didn’t want his affection for her to keep on growing.

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. Anytime she visited the prison to visit her children, none of them agreed to see her and would turn down her request. Her heart was shattered, and she didn’t know how to carry on with her life after having lost everything. She wasn’t the only one feeling that way as Edward was also in the same shoe as her. 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
