THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Her Desperation
“How is Edward doing now? Is he showing any sign of improvement?” Stephanie asked, with her legs crossed, while taking a sip out of her coffee. “He is still in coma, but the doctor said he might hopefully wake up soon” Ellie responded, caring less about Edward’s condition. “I know it’s hard on you seeing him in such a condition he is in. It must be so disheartening for you” Stephanie said with pity, sympathizing with her daughter. “Disheartening? No, it isn’t. Everything is working in my favor, and this is a golden opportunity I need to make use of judiciously” Sophia responded, beaming with joy. This surprised her mother, as she had thought seeing Edward in such a condition, would break her heart. “You are happy he is in such condition? I thought you love him?” Stephanie asked, surprised by the happiness that was evident in her daughter’s eyes. “Love? Because I have been fighting to have him all to myself, you think I love him? No, I do not. I am only fighting for my interes
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE The Forgotten Truth
On rushing to the hospital, Sophia found Daniel and Allison in Edward’s room, with the doctor also present. Edward was sitting on the bed, with his back rested on the pillow. “Dad, what happened? Why am I here?” Edward asked, looking confused. It was at that moment it drawn on Sophia, who was standing by the door, eavesdropping, that Edward had no recollection of what had happened in the past. She was glad he had lost his memory and that everything was going as she had planned. “Actually, you had an accident few months ago. You have been in coma since then” Daniel responded to his son’s question. “An accident? I don’t remember that. Do you know where I was heading to before I had the accident?” Edward asked, trying to remember what had happened to him. “Yes, I do. You were on your way to meet Ellie” Daniel responded. “Ellie? Who is Ellie?” Edward queried, raising his eyebrows. “You really do not remember who Ellie is?’ surprised Daniel asked. “No, I don’t. Is she someone import
THE BILLIONAIRE'S PERFECT MATE Labors of Love and Pains
Ellie was sitting at a corner of the jail room, curled up and staring blankly at the wall of the room, as if there was something special about it. She felt blank and helpless and at the same time, she hoped for a better future. It had been two months since she had been in prison, still hoping that her beloved lover would come for her, but he seemed not to be forthcoming. The thought of Edward having abandoned her and their unborn child kept on railing through her mind, but she waved it off, each time it did. She didn’t want to believe that and kept on assuring herself that, Edward would come for her, if not for any other reason but for the sake of their child. And then, a day came, when everything changed and she lost the hope of a better tomorrow.That day, she had her breakfast as she had normally did, but some hours after having had the breakfast, she began to feel discomfort. She had felt a tightening sensation in her lower abdomen, but she didn’t think much of it, as she had tho

She woke up to the shining, bright light in her room, which was coming from the window in her room. As she fully opened her eyes, becoming aware of her environment, she tried to get up from bed, but she felt too weak to do so. One of her hands was handcuffed to the bed rail, restricting her movement. She looked in the direction of where the light of coming from and she realized, it was morning; which meant she was unconscious all through the night. The memories of what had happened before she lost her consciousness came rushing to her, and it was then, she realized something wasn’t right. She clearly remembered birthing her child before she passed out, but there was neither a crib nor her child beside her. Confusion stroked her mind and all she wanted at that moment, was to know where her child was. She couldn’t move due to her hand that was cuffed to the rail. She looked around, searching if there was someone nearby and luckily for her, she sighted the female warden who was watching

Still in her slumber, Ellie was lying on her hospital bed in her room, with the female warden watching over her. Since she was sedated, she hadn’t woken up. While the warden was still watching over her, waiting for Ellie to wake up, the doctor walked into the room. After being in a dilemma for a while, he had made up his mind and had decided to do what the unknown lady had instructed him to do. He knew that was the only thing he could do, to keep his medical malpractice hidden. He didn’t know he would meet the warden there and upon stumbling on her after he walked into Ellie’s room, he quickly hid the syringe he was holding in the pocket of his lab coat. “Hello, miss. Didn’t know you would be here. I thought you would be taking a break, since she is asleep now. Aren’t you tired?” the doctor said, forcing a smile, trying to find a way to dismiss the warden. “I am but I must watch over her, since I do not know when she will be waking up. What are you here for, doctor?”, the warden as

What’s the problem?” Sophia asked with a worried and frightened voice, upon seeing how Edward’s hand was clenched to his chest.“My heart …… it hurts” Edward managed to respond, amid his pain. The pain intensified, making him yell the more. Seeing that he was in so much pain, Sophia dashed out, in search of the medical team.Edward was quickly attended to and he was given a pain reliever, which eased him of his pain. The doctor ran a check on him, but nothing unusual was found.“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” anxious Sophia asked, upon seeing the confused expression on the doctor’s face, as he examined Edward and ran through the test result he was holding.“Mrs. Lion, according to the result of the test we carried out on him, we found nothing wr

Edward, who hadn’t seen Richard for years, was glad to see him and couldn’t hide his excitement. He also dashed out to give Richard a hug. Sophia couldn’t move, as she knew her nightmare had just appeared. She held onto her dress tightly and she began to shiver. “My dear son, I have missed you a lot. Where have you been? You got everyone worried, including your dad” Allison said, hugging her son tightly. She was so happy and excited to see her son, but her son felt otherwise, as he pushed her away from him. Allison was shocked by her son’s action and she stood still, looking at Richard, as if she was seeing a different version of her son in front of her.“Missed me? Worried about me? Have you ever been worried about me? Spare me the lies as I am not in for it. I am not here to spoil anybody’s mood, I am just here to celebrate with my precious nephew” Richard said, with a fierce lo

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.

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 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.

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
