The Billionaire’s Bet Chapter 61
NICOLEMarcus and I locked lips, totally caught up in the moment. It was like fireworks exploding in my mouth, and amidst the heat of our kiss, I could taste the saltiness of tearsWhen we finally pulled apart, we just stood there, staring at each other, grinning like two goofballs. I felt this incredible sense of calm and contentment wash over me. Marcus was finally back with me, and it felt damn good.“I was scared. when you started reacting to those damn peanuts, my heart stopped”, Marcus blurted out his eyes still wide with worry“I have no idea how it happened, it must have been some crazy mix up with the order or something”, I replied shaking my head in disbelief “But seriously, how on earth did you manage to find me?" I asked amusedA sheepish smile spread across Marcus' face as he confessed, "Well, let's just say I may or may not have been low-key following you."I couldn't help but chuckle at his admission. "You were following me? That's both creepy and adorable," I teased

NICOLEMy body shuddered when I thought about Anthony, thank God that I hadn't agree to have anything to do with him." He's such a crap, I thought to myself."" You know it hasn't really been easy since you had that accident Marcus, I missed you and I miss our baby."My eyes welled up with tears as I thought about how I had the miscarriage." What do you mean by out baby, Nicole" Marcus asked puzzled." I was pregnant before your accident, and was waiting for you to come him that day to tell you about it."" Holy shit, you went through all of this Nicole?"" Mmmm, the new of your death back then, made me overthink so much that I had a miscarriage."" I'm sorry sorry that you had to go through all of that baby," Marcus said holding me in his hands." And now that I think about it, I can't help but be sad when I realize that our baby would have grown years more and he'd be speaking by now, I'd want him or her to call you dad."Tears trickled down my face as I thought about what had ha

NICOLEI woke up the next day, groggily rubbing my eyes, only to find an empty bed. Where the heck was Marcus? I stumbled out of the room, to search for him “Marcus!" I hollered, hoping to get a response, but there was no answer. Seriously, where did that guy disappear to?Just as I was about to give up and go back to grab my phone, I caught sight of him in the distance. He was holding grocery bags like it was his new gig or something. I hustled over to meet him, my curiosity getting the best of me.“When did you wake up, Marcus? I was freaking out when I couldn't find you next to me," I blurted out, a mix of relief and worry evident in my voice.A small smile played on his lips as he leaned in to give me a sweet kiss. "Did you miss me that much?" he teased, his eyes sparkling. "I just went out to grab some groceries. You know how it is, nothing to eat when you wake up, so I had to make an early run."“Oh, gotcha," I replied, feeling a bit sheepish. It dawned on me that I had let

NICOLE " Thank you so much for the food" I gestured to Mia, as she cleared the table.A small smile formed on her face as she got the message I was sending to her.After finishing my meal, I quietly slipped away to the bathroom. Once inside, I promptly bolted the door, taking precautions in case Marcus attempted to enter.Just as I settled in the bathroom, I heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps nearing the door. Sure enough, it was Marcus, his hands gripping the doorknob, ready to twist it open."It's locked, buddy!" I called out with a mischievous grin. "I knew you'd try to come in, so I beat you to it and locked it from the inside."A satisfying hum escaped my lips as I imagined the disappointment on his face when he realized he wasn't getting in.His footsteps fading away toward the bedroom brought me a sense of relief, and I let out a sigh. Finally, some peace and privacy.However, my relief was short-lived as I heard the distinct clanking of keys in Marcus' hands. Panic wel

NICOLEI stood up from the table after eating and walked into the bathroom for a bath.The shower water drizzled down on my body as I stood under it.I bumped into Marcus by the door. He gave me a quick nod and said, "Hey, get dressed. I'll take a bath, and then we can move to another place."I gave him a thumbs up, acknowledging the plan, and headed straight to the bedroom. And there it was, my outfit for the day, neatly laid out on the bed courtesy of Mia.I couldn't help but grin when I saw the stylish navy blue, long skirt and the cute white lace shirt. Mia knows my style like nobody else! And as if that wasn't enough, she had placed a dainty pink lotion right next to the clothes. It smelled heavenly, like a bouquet of flowers.I quickly dried myself off with the towel wrapped around my chest and grabbed the pink lotion. Out of nowhere, I heard Marcus's deep, husky voice behind me, "Do you dig the scent?"I turned around, slightly startled, and there he was, towel hanging low ar

NICOLE“This tastes good, but honestly, I think I like Mia's food better”, I said.“Mia's food is like a homemade masterpiece, cooked with pure love and affection."“Should we crash here tonight and head back tomorrow. What's your take on that?" Marcus suggested“Nah, as beautiful and captivating as this place is, it's just too damn lonely. It needs some life, you know? It's all fancy, but it's missing that liveliness."Marcus held my hands and locked eyes with me."Don't worry, babe, next time we come here, things will be way better."“Mmm," I let out a satisfied hum and returned to devouring my meal.Later in the evening, Marcus and I strolled along the bay and made our way back to the yacht.As Mia swung open the massive door, her face lit up with a beaming smile.I couldn't help but mirror her joy, eagerly extending my arms for a warm embrace.Marcus grabbed me and pulled me tightly into his arms."Come on, babe, stop being jealous. She's just a girl."His aura radiated with inten

NICOLEMarcus and I slept in each other's arms until the crack of dawn.The peacefulness of the morning was interrupted by a knock on the bedroom door, courtesy of Mia's petite figure. Marcus groggily got up from the bed and made his way over to answer it.Mia handed him a little note with a message she wanted to convey. As Marcus read it, his face soured, and he let out a not-so-happy sigh."Hey Nicole, we gotta get moving right now," he said to me, urgency lacing his words.I reluctantly rolled out of bed, shooting Mia a puzzled look. She just shrugged and walked in my direction, leaving me wondering what was going on.Marcus seemed totally zoned out, lost in his own world of thoughts.Mia, on the other hand, draped a loose, long jacket over me and gently guided me out of the bedroom.To my surprise, Marcus didn't protest or question Mia's actions. Instead, he glanced at me and nodded, as if silently approving of what was happening.“Hey, I'll get in touch with you whenever I can.

NICOLE I settled into the front seat next to Mia, who took her place behind the wheel. The atmosphere in the car was strangely silent as she drove us towards school.After about thirty minutes, Mia parked the car right in front of the school, drawing quite a bit of attention from onlookers. I hesitated to get out, feeling uneasy about the intense stares directed our way.But Mia stepped out of the car and walked around to my side to open the door for me. I held onto the car door, hesitant to step out just yet."You really didn't have to do all this, Mia," I said, my grip still holding the door shut.A small, almost shy smile formed on her face as she stood beside me.The urgency to contact Marcus grew stronger within me. Having Mia accompany me to school was bound to attract a lot of attention, and I couldn't shake off the unease that came with it. With every step I took, Mia faithfully followed behind me.Feeling frustrated, I turned to her and asked, "Can't you find somewhere to s

"Daddy! Daddy! How does it look?"My eyes shifted from the desk to the little princess In front of me, she was holding her canvas and her eyes were glittering with so much love and hope, I never thought I would melt at such beauty but ever since I met Nicole, things changed.I was amazed at her realistic creation painting, it was a plant growing from the earth and it looked like I was watching it happen live."It's…" I paused for a while, pulling her closer to me. Ellie's eyes dulled and so her posture slacked with her emotional change."You don't like it?" It was almost a whimper before I scoffed."Ellie, I love it! It's so beautiful I wasn't able to comprehend it. It's something your mom would have painted." I smiled at her and she set the canvas down before jumping on my lap, "she'll be proud.""Do you think she's going to come back?" The question always stung my heart, I didn't have the answer to it, I've always had a solution for every problem, except for this one."Yes, she will

NICOLE “If you think some superhero is going to swoop in and save your sorry asses, then you thought wrong," Mariella sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.We were holed up in an underground house, a safe haven turned into a grim prison. Ellie and I sat huddled on the floor, our hair disheveled, our clothes stained and torn.Mariella paced around the room like she owned the place, her hand confidently planted on her hips. She chewed her gum obnoxiously, the sound echoing through the tense air.“Now that I think about it," she said, her words laced with cruel calculation. "How much should I sell you both for? Let's leave the little girl out of it. You, my dear, are worth way more than her. You're a package deal, two for the price of one."I instinctively placed my hand on my belly, a protective gesture that seemed to amuse Mariella. She let out a mocking laugh as she observed my action."Aww, Marcus' little heir is in there, huh? Poor baby," she sneered, scrunching down to my lev

MARCUSI sat at the dimly lit bar, swirling the drink in my hand, my mind wandered to Vicky. She had been nothing but kind to me. I prayed she was still alive, hoping that fate had spared her from the clutches of the child trafficking ring. I felt responsible for her since she had no one else to help her.She had no family or friends and she looked to me like a brother.My concerns deepened as the realization struck that I hadn't heard from Nicole in days. The last time we spoke was when I called and she informed me that she now had the company of a little girl at home.I was happy with that. At least she won't be lonely and would have someone to talk to. Even if it was just a child.I tried calling her number a few times, but it was unreachable. The bar had started to empty out, leaving only a rowdy group of girls. From the moment I arrived, I could feel their eyes on me, but I did my best to ignore their glances.As the place grew practically deserted, I couldn't help but notice o

NICOLE The police were still trying to trace Mariella’s location, yet nothing has been found. It was as if she was no longer on planet earth.I was trying to finish up another of my paintings that I had started a few days back. I was hoping to go donate it at the orphanage. These past weeks I've grown accustomed to visiting the place. Marcus came in and peeped at my work, nodding his head in approval. “You’re almost done”I smiled, “Yes I am. It just needs some finishing touches”“I'm going to the police station to see how far they've gone with the investigation, I'll be back in a few days” he said, stroking my back.“Alright. Be good” I watched Marcus leave the room, his footsteps fading away as he made his way toe find Vicky.With a sigh, I turned my attention back to my painting.Hours passed, and my painting finally took its final form.I stepped back to admire it. It was a depiction of a serene meadow, with blooming flowers and a radiant sunset in the background.I prepared to l

MARCUSAll three of us sat at the dining table, the aroma of freshly cooked waffles and sausages filling the air. I had woken up early, determined to mend the strained atmosphere with a delicious breakfast. Nicole, however, was still giving me the silent treatment, her expression somber as she pushed her food around her plate.The tension was palpable, and I could feel my own discomfort growing with each passing second. It seemed like an eternity until Vicky decided to break the ice.“Nicole," Vicky spoke up, her voice soft but pleading. Nicole looked up, her eyes meeting Vicky's gentle gaze. "Yeah?""I understand that you might be upset, but please don't take it all out on Marcus. He was just trying to help me”Nicole let out a sigh and muttered, "Don't worry about it. We're cool." But her dismissive tone revealed that she wasn't cool at all. She finished eating in silence, abruptly standing up from the table and leaving me and Vicky behind.Vicky let out a disappointed sigh, her ta

MARCUSRight now me and Nicole were sitting next to each other, and Mia was sitting across from us at the station. There was this barricade thing separating us.Nicole, being her stubborn self, had insisted that we take care of Mia's kid. And I had no choice but to go along with it. What else could I do? Nicole can be pretty persuasive when she wants to be.“Thank you both so much for forgiving me and forgetting the past. I don’t know how else I can thank you, but I really appreciate your effort” Mia clasped her hands together. Her nose was a bit swollen due to her condition, she was probably in her third Trimester while Nicole was in her second.“It’s fine. We are more than happy to help” Nicole beamed at her.I nodded in agreement, offering a smile to Mia. "Absolutely, Mia. We understand that people make mistakes, and we believe in giving second chances."She reached out to touch her swollen belly. "This baby means the world to me. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make thing

NICOLEShe did a double take. “Nicole? What a surprise. I didn't know you were coming” Well, I didn't know it was going to be your house too. I pressed my lips together, attempting to regain composure. "Lovely home," I managed to say, glancing around at the interior."You're already drenched from the rain. Come, let me change you into a comfortable outfit," she offered, guiding me towards her room located down the hallway.So Marcus had sneaked out of the house to come to visit Vicky. I was getting closer to the answer but I didn't like how it was headed.Her room was big and painted in lavender. A cozy armchair was placed near a bookshelf. Nearby, a small vanity table displayed a collection of antique perfume bottles, a hand mirror, and a hairbrush.“You can take your seat over there” she gestured to the armchair and walked into her walk-in closet. After a moment, she emerged with this loose fitting dress and handed it to me.“Here," she said, passing me the clothes. "Put these on

NICOLE “Ms. Nicole?" the little voice called out, unsure. I looked down and recognized Ellie, the little girl I had met at the art gallery previously.What was she doing out here alone?I grinned. "Hey, Ellie. We meet again. How are you?""I'm fine. I'm so happy to see you," she smiled brightly. That was when I noticed the frame she was holding, wrapped in brown paper."What are you doing here all by yourself?"She gestured to the frame she was holding. It was a wonder how she was able to carry it alone. "Oh, I came to donate this work of art.""Really? That's so thoughtful of you," I said, holding her hands in mine and helping her carry the painting. "Come on, let's go submit it, and after that, we can get some ice cream. How does that sound?""Perfect!" she cheered. Together, we walked to the front desk, and I assisted her in signing her name before we dropped off the painting.I was still surprised that a girl of her age could come all the way to the orphanage without a guardian.

NICOLE“What is he doing here?" I poked the window of my car as I saw my husband standing at the entrance of some strange house. His composure seemed anxious and though I was no detective, he looked like he was about to do something shady.A figure opened the door and it looked like it was wearing a robe. A woman? Was it Vicky??I tried to look closer but I couldn't see her face, his body language softened when she opened the door and she let him in.Marcus was with another woman."No, I can't be thinking like this." I relaxed my back in the chair as I rubbed my temples, there was no way he could be cheating, not after everything we have been through but why would he choose to hide this from me? What was the big deal that he couldn't tell me he needed to see someone at 2 am?Oh.Realization dawned on me and I kicked the ignition, I needed to get home,he could come out at any time and he was a better driver. I revved the engine and off I was. The road was free, everyone was at home
