The Billionaire’s Gem Chapter 15.
Foria's POVI was now staring at Darren who was sitting on a long sofa, opposite my bed. I was leaning at the headboard while looking at him. He bowed his head as if he didn't want to talk to me. But I will not let it pass this time. This is the right time to talk to him and confront him about it.After I ate earlier, the two of us were silent while he helped me go to the bathroom to pee and brush my teeth. He also gently assisted me to bed even though I didn't need it. I am just stressed, not disabled.We waited who would speak first, but after a few minutes, none of us broke the silence. It seems like when someone speaks, something bad will happen to him."Where's my family? Why aren't they here?” and finally, I already dared to speak.I woke up here without anyone. He's the only one I'm with here. My family should be here. They must know that I'm here.He looked up at me. "I-I don't know how to contact them. I don't have a number...” good thing he didn't stutter much anymore. My

"Maxine, you have a visitor!" I heard my mother shout from the living room. "Who is it, Mom?!" I said with a loud voice to make her hear me.I put the glass of milk on the table before putting the cookies in the oven. I checked the food that I was cooking before turning the stove off. I washed my hands and dried them using a towel. "It's your suitor!" Mama also shouted back making me stop.My forehead creased because of what she said. Suitor? I have a suitor? I don't remember letting Someone woo me even though I knew they liked me.As a model, it was normal to receive a lot of confessions, because I couldn't deny that I am beautiful. But I have never accepted those who wanted to court me. Yes, they are all handsome, but h*ll! They aren't even my type. They are a bunch of playboys who just wanted me to warm their beds. Gross. I hurriedly walked out of the kitchen. "Mom, who’s that? As far as I remember, didn't allow anyone to court me because they were all—” My feet immediat

“Congratulations, Maxine!” my mother shouted while running towards me and gave me a tight hug. She cupped my cheeks. "I'm so proud of you, Darling!" she said happily.I smiled at her. "Thank you, Mom. You are the reason why I am here now." I hugged her. "Thank you, Mom!" I thanked her again.She started crying while talking about how she was proud of me and how she raised me well. I just smiled at her, being thankful.I love her and respect her. All of my achievements are all for her. She raised me well and loved me unconditionally. She took care of and loved me with all her heart, and that's why I am very thankful that she's my mother. I am lucky to have her. “Foria!”We both stopped talking when someone shouted my name. When I looked at who it was, it was my best friend, Lorry Enriquez. She was running towards me while waving her hands.She almost tripped making me hold my forehead.“Congratulations, Foria!” She immediately hugged me making me step back.I smiled with a grimace

"I’m tired," I said weakly while leaning against a pole.My energy was out because I vomited hard. My eyes are spinning even more. I felt like if I went to step again, I’d fall. I didn't know that alcohol had this effect. It’s painful in the throat and the head. If only I knew, I wouldn't have drank any alcohol.I am not home yet and I’m in the middle of somewhere. I don't know where this place is but it kind of scares me. It’s super dark. I just followed the map on my phone.I caressed my temple gently before letting out a long breath. I slowly looked at the place before looking at my phone. The map was right, but I could no longer go any further. I'm tired and my head hurts. I felt like I wanted to throw up again.I had no choice but to call my big brother. I have no intention of disturbing him because I know he is busy with the company that my Dad handed down to him. I am sure that he's on rest right now. I know also that he is very tired but I have no choice. I don’t want to get

"S-She's pregnant?" I heard my mother say.I looked at the ceiling with empty thoughts. I felt my tears flowing down to my cheeks. I couldn't move my body properly. I felt my eyes were in pain, so is my head and chest. It felt like I was stabbed.“Yes, Mrs. Lux. She's two weeks pregnant. Congratulations," I heard the doctor said. “Now, as for her condition—”"Wait! Wait!” Mom cut the Doctor's words. "H-How? How did she get pregnant? She never experienced such a thing, Doc. My daughter is a virgin!”What I feel became heavier. She doesn't know about what happened to me. She was very scared and worried when she saw me throwing up on the kitchen.I sobbed when I felt someone caressing my hand. I know that it was my big brother, Lock. He heard everything they've said yet he was calm and focusing how to make me calm.I've been crying for a while now. They asked me what hurts but I didn’t answer them. I am afraid that they will know what happened to me. I'm afraid that they will be mad at

Foria’s POV."Are you going to work, Maxine?" I stopped walking on the stars when I heard my mother.I saw her downstairs while holding a lunch box, probably my lunch for today. She always packed me lunch when I was going to work, which is seven days a week. Since I don't have work on Sunday because my boss has chosen to close it so we can have our rest day.My mother was so sweet, she’s still never changed. She always took care of me even if I was old enough to handle myself. She was there when I was at my worst.I smiled and continued walking down the stairs. "Yes, Mom. But my shift will be one in the afternoon. I'm going to a company. I want to apply there. After that, I'll go straight to the restaurant," I answered when I got down.She looked at me softly. "You are going to apply to a company?"I nodded while still smiling. "Yes, Mom. I have thought that I need to use my degree. Even though I want to be a model, I am still graduated in Business administration. I think I should giv

"Foria, order table number five and nine!"I immediately walked towards the counter to fetch the orders. I hurriedly gave it to the customers before returning to the counter."Veron, is Aisha here yet?" I asked Verna, who was in charge at the counter while looking at the wall clock. "It's already ten in the evening. My shift should have ended at nine. If she's not here, I can't go home. I will finish her shift until one if she’s absent. She knows that I have a child to take care of, right?" I said with irritation.The restaurant is open from eight to one in the morning. Yes, the restaurant was open for seventeen hours. It's a good thing we have shifts or else we’ll die for not sleeping right for several months. But even though our time at work was limited, we weren’t required to take a break, we must work every second. Except if the customer was already eating and there were no more orders. But it's impossible. This restaurant has a lot of customers and we also do deliveries. There’s

Foria's POV.I woke up because of a knock. I groaned before laying on my right side, but I flinched when I felt the sunlight on my face. Someone knocked again.I opened my eyes and then looked at the door sharply. It’s early in the morning and they are disturbing me. Don't they know I'm tired? "Who is that?" I said a little louder."Good morning, Ma’am. Your Mommy said that you need to come downstairs to have breakfast," she answered from outside.I frowned. Breakfast? Right now? I'd rather sleep. I really need sleep."Just tell her I won't come down, Rowena. I really want to sleep!” I answered with my eyes closed. My eyes hurt. It wanted to close until I fell asleep again."I’m sorry, but they say it's not possible. Angelo is downstairs, he says he has something to say to you. If you don't get down, he will get you down himself," she answered, causing me to scratch my head in irritation.Argh! Angelo is irritating! He knows that I am tired from work and also from watching my son. I

Foria's POV.I woke up from a noise. My sight was directly to the light making me close my eyes again.I slowly opened my eyes again. I blinked when I smelled the familiar scent. Am I in the hospital? What happened to me?I turned to my side. I am inside a room in the hospital. I took a deep breath and tried to sit up. But I only went back to bed when my head suddenly hurt. I held my hand and closed my eyes.I let out a breath again and tried to sit up. I kept moaning because my body also hurt. But the door suddenly opened causing me to look there.My eyes widened when I saw the man I didn't expect to see here. He was looking at me with wide eyes and he froze from where he was standing. He was holding a white bag, I don't know what was inside. Why is he here?!But what's also surprising is that I felt a little bit of fear of him, not like I've lost myself whenever I see him. But why is it so little now? I felt scared that he might do something to me again but there was something weir

Foria's POV."Where are you?" Jannica asked in the other line.I glanced at my phone on my side before turning my car around. I was wearing an AirPods so that I could hear her well."I'm on my way, Jannica. It's little traffic,” I answered, bored.I was still on the road forty minutes ago because it was very traffic. Good thing I have a lot of patience, I might be screaming here if I don't have it. I would not waste my time on that nonsense thing anyway. It will just ruin my beauty."You said that forty minutes ago and you are still not here. The photographer kept on asking me where you are," she exclaims."I'm close! I can see the building from here," I said while looking at the building where my photoshoot was held."My goodness, Foria. We have been waiting here for hours now. Sir Liam just got here. He's looking for you while frowning," I think she wants to make me feel guilty.I know that Liam doesn't want to waste any time. He always wants us to be on time.Even though I have b

Foria's POV."I'm sorry...""Please, I'm sorry. Forgive me." "Maxine! I did not mean it!"I gasped and looked at the ceiling with big eyes. The corners of my eyes started to heat up. After a few minutes, I realized that I was sobbing and my tears were flowing down to my cheeks."Maxine? Maxine!”"Foria! Oh my god!”I felt someone hugged me but I didn't bother to look who it was. I was holding my chest because it hurt so much. It looks like something heavy in there. I felt like it was squeezed by someone. It's so painful. It felt like it was already bleeding.I was having trouble breathing because of my sobs. I can't seem to stop myself crying. I was gasping for air. "P-Please... I don’t want this..." I said with difficulty and tightened my grip on my chest. The pain was still not gone. It seems like it was permanent.Even though I didn't see his face, I knew it was from him. The voice of the man who ruined my life. He was begging for me to forgive him. But instead of being happy, I

Foria's POV."Mommy!"My forehead creased when I heard a loud voice. I groaned and rolled over. I want to continue what I was dreaming. "Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!”I sighed and faced him. I opened my eyes and looked at my son who was looking at me, smiling. He seems to be having a good day today. I feel a positive air from him. "Hello, Mommy! Good morning!”I smiled then sat down slightly and leaned on the headboard. I kissed his forehead. “Good morning, Handsome Maxim," I greeted back. He giggled.He likes to be praise him so much that we always say that to him. I don't know where he inherited that trait from because Kuya Angelo and I are not like that. And Mama is not like that also and even our late Father. But even though he likes that, it made me happy. He makes me happy. "Why are you doing here early in the morning, Son?" I asked softly while combing his black hair.He adjusted his seat. "Grandma was cooking in the kitchen and she told me to wake you up. I think that Gran

Foria's POV.I woke up because of the noise around. I don't know where I am but I heard something beeping. I also heard my mother and brother talking, it just didn’t enter my brain.I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was light. Because of it, I closed my eyes. I moaned a little and slowly opened my eyes again. “Foria!” “Maxine!”I quickly turned to my right when I heard a lot of voices. I saw my Brother, Mother and my friends running towards me with worry written on their faces."Are you okay? Does anything hurt?"“Why are you moaning? Are you hurting?”"Where does it hurt?"They asked me questions at the same time and I just looked at them, not knowing what to answer. They kept on asking me questions and it made me suffocated. My head hurts even more.“I-I can't breathe," I said making their eyes widen.“What?! Call the doctor!” Mom said in panic making them panic too."A-Ah, no—" I was cut off when I saw Jerome already left the room. Even if I wanted to stop them an

Foria's POV."How about this?" I asked one of our maids who was with me. I was holding a meat.She looked at me while holding the cart. She looked at it very carefully because Mom wanted the meat to be good and fresh. Mom doesn't want old meat. She's very choosy and it's irritating sometimes."That's okay, Ma'am. It looks fresh," she replied so I quickly put it in the cart and took six more to make sure it wouldn't run out. My son loves meat.“What's next, Morna?" I asked while looking around.She looked at me the paper. "Um... fruits and vegetables."“Alright, let's find it," I walked first and she followed me with the driver. He will be the one who will help us carry the food because we will buy a lot. And one more thing, so that someone will protect me when my fans notice me. It's dangerous.We are in the supermarket, buying groceries. We ran out of stock in the mansion and need to restock immediately. My son is always hungry and I don't want him to starve. He still doesn't want t

Foria's POV. "Ms. Lux, look at here!” "Ms. Lux, here!”"You're so beautiful, Ms. Lux!”I smiled while looking at the paparazzi, left and right. My eyes were almost blind because of the flashes of their camera but I handled it. I posed confidently and even winked at them. They almost screamed making me grin even wider. I know that I can capture their eyes and heart in a few seconds.I stayed there for a few minutes posing and blinded by the lights before continue walking on the red carpet. Even so, their cameras were still following me.I'm here today at a charity ball hosted by a friend of mine. He invited me and I don't have the heart to reject it. I am in support of any charity programs such as this. Sometimes I go to other places just to help those who want to have a simple program for the poor. I am happy doing it. So tonight, I'm going to give two million pesos. Big but worth it!It's been years since I started to build my career and look at me now, I am one of the most succes

Foria's POV. "Is this it?"The company was so big that it led my mouth to open. It's like watching a Korean drama with a huge company. Well, we also have a big company, but the impact is really different when it was your dream. I never thought that I would enter a modeling company. I feel like I'm dreaming.I saw a lot of people going in and out. They are making themselves beautiful and they all have papers that I think are requirements to apply to be a model. I see someone smiling, in a group, and also frowning. I was really happy looking at them because I know some of them are my co-workers in the future, I hope.Oh, yes, by the way. What were the requirements? I didn't bring anything, my gosh! Angelo didn't tell me about it.I looked at my brother who was busy finding a parking space. He was frowning because there was no more space."Brother?" I called him.He glanced at me. "Why?""What were the requirements by the way? You didn't say anything about it but a lot of applicants wer
