Bailey's family had been through a tumultuous trial, leaving her burdened with the responsibility of paying off her father's debt to the wealthy Elijah Gabriel Montefalco. Despite Elijah's less-than-pleasant demeanor, Bailey couldn't help but be captivated by his strikingly handsome face. Deep down, she believed that beneath his rough exterior, there was a kind heart. Life within the opulent mansion was far from easy for Bailey, as Elijah's treatment of her was often harsh. However, she endured it all, not only to free her father from imprisonment but also because she harbored a secret love for him. Unexpectedly, Elijah's heart began to soften towards Bailey, and they eventually confessed their feelings for one another. Elijah found it hard to fathom that he could find happiness with someone like Bailey. Their world took a sudden twist when Elijah encountered a major problem within his company. In order to save his business and repay his debt, he was forced to marry the billionaire's daughter. This turn of events shattered the happiness and love they had shared. As a billionaire, Elijah faced a difficult choice. Would he be willing to sacrifice his wealth for the woman he loved, or would he choose to secure his financial stability by marrying someone he didn't truly love? The answer remained uncertain, leaving their future hanging in the balance.
View MoreHer heart skipped a beat as she caught sight of Elijah. The happiness that surged through him was palpable, but little did she know that Elijah felt the complete opposite. In his mind, it was too late to mend their broken family, as he believed Bailey had reconciled with her ex-boyfriend, John. Frustration consumed him, causing him to toss the flower he had brought aside before stepping inside."Elijah?" John exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief."Daddy!" the young boy exclaimed, rushing towards him."It's been a month since you left and came back to Canada. Why are you here? Is it another business trip?" Bailey asked, her words stumbling over each other."Uhmm, yeah. I just happened to pass by and thought of visiting. I missed him too much," he lied.Just then, John's phone rang, interrupting their conversation. It was his girlfriend calling. With a quick goodbye, John left, leaving Elijah surprised to learn about his father's new relationship. Their eyes met, and John smiled a
BAILEY'S POINT OF VIEW"I love you, Bailey." Time slowed down and I was surprised by the eyes looking at me. Brown eyes and thick eyebrows that are about to meet, it's like his eyes are absorbing me and don't want to let go."What?!" I asked him in disbelief.What is happening? he likes me?"I'm your admirer since the day I found you," Anthony answered me."You love me?!" It's hard to ask him while he still can't believe it. I asked him one more time and he nodded again.He still didn't deny it to me.I can't believe that he has become even more direct now.My eyes widened when I knew and my two eyes could see how serious he was while looking at me. His lips parted and let out a small smile."I want to be your boyfriend..." he stated while smiling and I saw his cheeks turn red.I couldn't answer him, and while looking at him, I couldn't think of how handsome Anthony was in front of me while his cheeks were red. But while I still can't get out of my mind what he said."I'm not ready fo
I put my bath towel on my shoulder and answered the call."Hello? Camilla? Am I interrupting you?" he immediately asked me."I didn't just finish talking to Andrea, what's wrong?" I answered Anthony on the other line."Can I talk to you for a moment? I'm sorry but could you come here? I'll text you the address and the name of the restaurant." he answered me.I was wondering because I have to go to where he is now, is there something ready?"Alright wait for me there in a few minutes," I answered him.He thanked me and hung up.I took a quick bath and get dressed also I quickly go to the restaurant he texted me. Wondering what he wants us to talk to that it will be in a restaurant. The taxi stopped in front of the restaurant and the first time I look at it, I knew that it will be an expensive one.From the transparent window, I saw Anthony waving at me, however, he wasn't alone. I saw another man next to him and smile politely.I took a deep breath and enter the restaurant.I knew I wa
I no longer struggle and it seems my body gives up. I let Anthony do what he did. It somehow reduces the weight I feel that I hide every night.My eyelids were slowly getting heavy and I didn't realize that I was asleep after Anthony stayed with me for a few hours.That I woke up early and came down with my hair tied in a messy bun while I was wearing only a loose t-shirt and short shorts.I yawned thinking my eyes were puffy from all that crying.When I went down the stairs and I was about to go to the kitchen, I stopped when I saw Anthony at the dining table while putting plates on the table.My face heated up thinking about what I did yesterday night.... So embarrassing, I can smell the dishes on the table. I can see his hair is still wet.Did he take a bath huh? He did all this work when he could just possibly ask the maids to take care of handling the plates. He is well dressed in the morning. "Anthony?" Anthony is strong. He quickly turned in my direction while holding a plate
He smile at me softly when two deep dimples in his cheeks showed. "Good afternoon Ma'am Camilla, I was waiting for you." a soft voice with a charm in it. The handsome young man in front of me. I admit that he is quite charming however I am confused. "I see that you are confused Ma'am, I am Anthony the caretaker of this mansion!" He added and looked at me straight in the eyes. I notice that this man had two brown pairs of eyes and long lashes. He lead me inside the mansion and I was fascinated by how gorgeous the mansion is." Sir Anthony.... " I called his name stopping my two feet. He stop and looked at me. "Ohh Ma'am Camilla, Sir is too formal. Just call me Anthony," he answered.Is he the one who help me to get home?Who is he?I cough, clearing my voice."Okay, Anthony!" I replied.I pressed my two palms to each other stamping my feet on the floor. I gather all my courage and smile at Anthony."Thank you so much Anthony for helping me," I added.I blinked twice when he didn't a

I witnessed something that I couldn't believe that it's happening, I can see how the guest applause for Ransom announcement to my child and he really did introduce my child?Did he really introduce Yumi as a billionaire child?I felt my stomach swirl and butterflies in my stomach.

BAILEY POVI was surprised to see him and we both stared at each other. This time his stares at me were so very different.He quickly went up the stairs to our room and I followed him. I wanted to explain to him and tell him that we were not gossiping about him. I called his name several times. But he did not listen to me until we both entered inside the room"Ransom!" I called his name again.He immediately faced me and frowned when he looked into my eyes. This man's behavior is really bad."What?!" he asked with a frown."If you think we are gossiping about you, you are wrong," I replied firmly."You don't need to explain," he said sparingly.I just sighed at what she said and he didn't speak anymore. He went straight to the Veranda and I just shook my head at what he did. I didn't really understand that man's attitude. But even so, I just let him go.I don't want to push myself because it's tiring that we always fight.I sat on the sofa and closed my eyes. I didn't realize that I fe

"Thank goodness you're awake, Ley," she said, a mixture of joy and sadness in her voice."What happened, Mom? Why am I here?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."You lost consciousness, and we rushed you to the hospital. The doctor said you have acute dengue," she explained, her voice filled with concern.Just then, the doctor entered the room, greeting us with a warm smile. I returned the smile, grateful for his presence.
