THE HEARTLESS BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 47
Amari Fleur's Point Of View I slowly opened my eyes and saw a big smile on my mother's face. She was standing beside my bed with a delicious-looking cake and a colorful balloon in one hand. Aunt Lilet was beside her, holding three paper bags filled with presents. As I sat up, still feeling a little groggy, I caught a glimpse of Patrizia, my childhood best friend. She was holding my camera and grinning from ear to ear. "Happy birthday, my princess." Mom's smile was so beautiful, which brightened my day. I barely saw her that smile, a genuine one. "My darling, happy birthday! We have some gifts for you." Aunt Lilet placed the paper bags on my bedside table with excitement evident in her voice. "Make a wish, Fleur, and blow out your candles." Mommy spoke and then brought me a round vanilla cake that she had made. I closed my eyes and silently prayed that Mommy would agree to let me return to her country. After I blew out the candle, the camera flashed once more. "Thank you to my

Amari Fleur's Point Of View On the day of my birthday, my Aunt Lilet took me to one of the most amazing restaurants in Paris with Mom and Patrizia. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the restaurant's impeccable interior decoration. The ambiance was very warm and welcoming. I noticed the beautifully set table with elegant cutlery and sophisticated tableware as we sat. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who gave us the menu and asked us for drinks. We ordered a bottle of red wine and waited for our meals to arrive. We spent hours chatting and laughing while enjoying the restaurant's delicious food and wine. Aunt Lilet was jolly, and we talked about various topics, including past experiences, family, and plans. The evening was perfect, and I felt incredibly grateful to have Aunt Lilet in my life. "Fleur, may I know when you will visit the Philippines?" We fell silent after Mom's question. I glanced at Mommy in surprise. "Mom, does that mean you finally agree to let me visit your

Amari Fleur's Point Of View Patrizia and I ordered our drinks at the bar counter when we entered the venue. The bartender greeted us warmly and asked us what we would like to have. I ordered tequila, while Patrizia ordered vodka. She then turned to me and flashed a smile, but her expression changed when she saw the creases on my forehead. "What's the problem?" Patrizia asked me, then handed me the tequila that I ordered. I immediately took and drank the tequila directly before I answered her question, "I saw Kaizer, and he was with Sachna." I told Patrizia and signaled the bartender for another tequila shot. Patrizia laughed at my words, then looked around. "Is that so? Well, what were our expectations? By the way, they are both losers." Patrizia laughed, but I couldn't join in because of Agatha. My mood suddenly changed when I saw her again. "Why do you look like that? Are you affected by them? Please don't tell me you are." Patrizia raised her eyebrows as she asked me. I do

Amari Fleur's Point Of View "I have already gathered some information on Zerina Cortez, ma'am." The investigator said from the other end of the line. When the investigator started disclosing information, I became incredibly cautious and vigilant, ensuring no one was eavesdropping. My primary concern was my Mom, whom I knew would be extremely anxious if she found out about the matter. Therefore, I took extra measures to prevent her from overhearing the conversation and getting worried. "So, what information did you discover?" I asked the investigator while glancing behind me. Zephanie was talking to Patrizia again. And this time, she was also speaking with my mother. "Zerina Cortez, the owner of Cortez Cosmetics, has been hailed as the businesswoman of the year for consecutive times. Apart from running a successful business, she also founded a foundation that helps homeless people. However, some people allege she uses her foundation for good publicity. Zerina is married to Timoth

Rafael's Point Of View FLASHBACK SIX YEARS AGO "Amari Fleur, the woman who recently broke up with you. I am her first boyfriend and know many things about her. Are you sure you're not interested?" The man's shout made me stop. Despite my initial reluctance, his words piqued my interest. I returned to the floating hut and sat before the man, who smiled at me and offered his hand. "Just to introduce myself, my name is Jacob Buenavista, and I'm Fleur's first ex-boyfriend," Jacob introduced himself by extending his hand for a shake. I looked disinterestedly at him, but he laughed it off and offered me a glass of wine. "This means you've been interested in my stories since you came back," Jacob spoke to me with a smile that slightly irritated me. "Stop saying nonsense things. Just be direct and make sure it's not a lie." I told Jacob that made him laugh. He drank the wine directly in front of him when he spoke again. "How long have you known Fleur, and how long have you been to

Rafael's Point Of View PARK Even though it was not in my plan, I was forced to go to Paris because Mama begged me to accompany my foster sister, Zephanie. Zephanie was my childhood friend and her parents were very close to my parents. Besides that, Uncle Tim is raising me so often when Zephanie wants to leave the country, they always want me to go with him. I'm here today in a park where I chose to get some fresh air to think. But I can't stop my mind that seems alive because it keeps reminding me of Fleur. But despite that, my mind also says that I hate him but my heart wants to see him. I didn't realize that I had almost gone around the entire park because of my tireless walking. Fortunately, I see very few people around so I enjoy observing the surroundings more. I closed my eyes as I continued walking. I smiled because I seemed to relax more when I did this thing. "Oh, it's alright. We can meet some other time” I frowned when I heard a familiar voice but I just continued wa

RAFAEL'S POINT OF VIEWAfter hanging up, I let out a deep breath. I hit my forehead because I suddenly felt tired."You look stressed again" I turned to Janica; she was smiling."Welcome back to New York." Janica happily said. I stood up from my seat and walked towards her. Janica took the small bag that I was holding from me."Why do you seem stressed? Do you have a problem? You just came back home. Shouldn't you relax at the moment?" Janica asked. I let out a sigh as I smiled at her."I just came home, but Dad wants me to go to the Philippines to attend A&A Guevarra's party," I said to Janica, who pouted slightly at me."A&A Guevarra? Isn't that the most successful and well-established company in the Philippines? I also heard that Uncle was one of the board members and Zephanie's Dad, too." Janica's words made me face her and frown at her."I am not aware that they let themselves become board members of that company whose CEO never showed up to anyone," I said as I shook my head at t

"Please, Fleur, choose me, we can runaway together. You don't need to get married with my brother." Rafael said as he reached for my hands. "Are you insane? I can't hurt your brother just like that.

Neil Gutierrez?” I said then laughed when I met my friend during my student years at the Business Academy, he smiled at me then walked closer."It's good that you still remember me; how are you feeling?"
