CHAPTER 21 - Groceries, Cooking
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Lauren stayed locked in her room, leaving Alex alone to do whatever he wanted, she didn't mind. She wanted to be by herself, not with some Loyal Alex company she didn't exactly trust.
For someone she didn't exactly trust, she shouldn't have left him alone in her living room. What if he sneaks out with something? Maybe her ice cream.
She recalled touching the bucket and remembered it was a lot bigger before, now it felt lighter like the cereal box.
Ok, she didn't bother about the cereal, but her ice cream, no, things got a lot more personal and she knew Mr. Alex had something to do with it.
She wasn't going to fret if he touched any of her belongings, or ran away with them, but her ice cream, he'd better not touch it again.
Unless she permitted him to.
She just lay face down on her bed, thinking back, trying to remember what happened last night.

The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 22 - A little bit, Alex
"My lady, do you go to church?" Alex asked watching her.When he said grace out loud, he wasn't sure she liked it. He didn't want to go to one's home, forcing something they didn't want.He respected everyone's decision. It was theirs to make not his, and he was only going to butt in if he was asked to."Well, I used to, I don’t know if that's something I should talk about right now. It brings back annoying and painful memories"."It could feel less painful if you share it with me," Alex says "Do you have a religion?""Well yeah, of course, I do, Christianity"."Same as me," Alex says "You know Roman catholic. So, you mind telling me what happened my lady?""Sure, although I'm not too sure I'm allowed to talk about it. It has a lot to do with Lauren".***"When we were younger, thirteen or f
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 23 - Not Saying Goodbye Forever
"What?" Loretta turned back "Where did he go... No… no… no…he didn't just leave right, Lauren?" Lauren looked at her friend with the saddest eyes, so she really trusted this guy, she's never doubted Loretta's judgments, and if she was always right that means, Loretta's right now... and she's wrong. But it still just didn't make any sense."Loretta he's going to go, I'm sorry he didn't tell you, it is because of me, I caused this.”"No Lauren listen to me, you didn't cause this. Umm... uh... he couldn't have gone far, right? If I stop wasting any time here, I could still meet him. Lauren, stay right here, I have to see him one last time.”Lauren felt terrible, what has she done, what has she done to Loretta?Loretta took her jacket and rushed out the door. She saw the elevator closing and ran to it yelling "Hold it please! Hold it!" Then a foot was put between the door
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 24 - Matt's Coming Over
The news that Lauren just delivered, didn't go well in Loretta's head. Why would she call Matt? When did she call Matt?Right now, she wasn't sure what to tell Matt, she wished Lauren told her earlier.She even wanted to be the one doing the calling, well she thought she would be there doing the calling. Now Laurens had already done it, what did she want to tell him?"What do you mean you called Matt?” Loretta asks. "And what do you mean he's coming over? When did all of this happen? Where was I? Was it when I went to buy groceries?""Ok Loretta, can you take it easy with the questions, you know, ask me one after the other.But before you can ask questions, did you see Alex? Sorry, I should have asked you that first.”"Oh yeah, I saw him, after I almost didn't see him. We said goodbye, he gave me a forehead kiss and gave me a picture of his daught

"Lauren", Loretta whispers "Go see who's at the door.”"Why me, you heard the knock first.”"Jeez, we both heard the knock, this is your apartment, isn't it?""Oh, now it is my apartment, but you didn't know that when you brought Loyal Alex to live in it.”"He wasn't living in it, he was just sleeping over, besides you drove him out, didn't you?""He left on his cause.”"Stop talking trash in love tones and go open your goddamn door.”The knock was heard again, five knocks this time."Lauren, we were at three before, now it is gone up to five, go see who's at the door.”"I don't want to.”"Why not?""What if it's Matt at the door?""Of course, it's Matt at the door, who else would it be.”
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 26 - Another Wayne
"Jesus Christ, why didn't anyone warn me beforehand, that I was going to have to deal with Loretta hating on me again.”Matt said, not liking the idea of Loretta being there. Seems they never really bonded at all ever since Loretta knew about Matt.She didn't exactly like his person, but what could she do? Lauren loved the guy."Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean?""Why are you here Wayne? It has a very simple meaning. I don't want you here Wayne, get that in your head.Lauren why didn't you tell me she was here?""Why do I have to tell you she's here with me?""Lauren, baby," Loretta says, gesturing for her friend not to say a word. "Leave this part to me, Lauren, I got this.”Loretta turns to Matt properly, to get what she was about to say in his head."Look here Matt, I'm not d

"Shut your trap hole dick head," Lauren finally speaks."Yeah, that's the spirit girl, you go, girl, now keep him here while I go find something to tie him up, ok baby girl, ok.”Then Loretta turns to Matt, gives him one of those fake smiles, and says "Hey Matty, stay put ok honey," then she goes inside, leaving Lauren and Matt together.While Matt just keeps cursing and cursing, which is getting on Lauren's last nerve, and making her sick."I just knew you were in on this Lauren; I fucking knew it. You fucking cheat with some son of a bitch, and now that we're over, you want to fucking kill me too.You’re sick, you and Wayne your both fucking sick.”"You’re cursing too much Matt, stop cursing too much. You always do that, and it's disgusting. You very well know that I hate that, it drives me crazy.”"Right n
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 28 - To Cheat Or Be Cheated On
Matt had this very confused look on his face, he didn't quite understand what Lauren meant when she said something about making decisions, so he just stared at the two ladies in front of him.One with his half glass of water in her left hand. What is wrong with these ladies and holding dangerous weapons on their left hand? Did it signify something or what?"Hey Mattress," Loretta calls him, snapping her fingers right between his eyes, bringing him back to reality."Hey, we thought we lost you to insanity.”"Huh", Matt said."You zoned out there Matty, we don't want that happening, we're gonna need you to be very responsive, do you understand me?""Right, I understand you. Umm, what were we talking about again?""Tell me why in the world you think I cheated.”"Oh that, don't try to act like you don't know L
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 29 - Some Proof
Lauren kept quiet for a while, watching Matt, shocked at his words."Why are you not saying anything? Why are you pretending and acting shocked? You didn't think Stenz would tell me by himself huh".Lauren wasn't even listening to whatever Matt was spitting. The only words from Matt that ran through her head were 'I already have proof from Stenz'.What did Matt mean by that? How and when did all of that happen?"Lauren! Lauren", Matt calls her out of her trance "Great, of all the time we've been talking, what happens? You choose now that I mention Stenz, and the proof he gave me to zone out? Come back, because you've got lots and lots of questions to answer"."How...how" Lauren stutters "How the hell...wait what do you mean Stenz gave you proof?""What you think I mean Lauren, is exactly what I mean"."How do you have proof from him?

I'm going to take Loretta into the gaming room right now. Are you planning to attend? Alex inquires."Yeah, I'll be there in a sec. Allow me to finish emailing this to my employer, Diego,""All OK, see you then."Loretta's favorite room in Alex's huge mansion was undoubtedly the gaming room, which she had discovered recently. They used it to play a variety of entertaining games. They most likely did it on a regular basis. Loretta had no idea, but they had been going in there every Friday night since she had started working there and having Olivia spin and fall on whatever game was on the game board to select what they were playing to determine what they were playing. They were now playing checkers, and Olivia had a good chance of winning. She appeared to be an adult trapped in the body of a four-year-old.Loretta wasn't actually on the winning side, and this was most likely due to the fact that she was preoccupied. She was glancing across the room a
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 119 – Some Kind of Reunion
"Loretta! Loretta!" yells the crowd. Lauren's voice may be heard in her dreams or her mind's ears. Was she in a coma once more? Was this something that was going to happen again? Lauren's speech was becoming clearer, so it didn't appear like she was in a coma; rather, it appeared that she was in a dream that she was now waking up from. "Loretta, get the heck out of bed."Her eyes pop up, and the first thing she notices is Lauren's face, which is near to her. Lauren doesn't hear her murmur a few words that she says."Can you tell me what that was? "Sorry, I didn't hear you.She expresses herself more firmly today."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She gets to her feet and assists Loretta in getting to her feet."Can you tell me what happened?" Loretta inquires."You had a fainting spell, which was strange. Since then, I've been attempting to jolt you awake.We encountered Stenz in a dream, and I'm not sure what occurred, but I'm sorry I'm
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 118 – UNEXPECTED VISIT
"Who the heck is that?" "If you don't mind, I'd be happy to do it once again." When she answers the door, she is greeted by the one person she did not expect; Lauren."Lauren? What... and why? "What the heck is going on?!"Lauren hugged her tightly, and you could tell it was particularly tight due to her pregnant belly.Laura, don't squeeze yourself so tightly, you're going to burst.""Come on, Loretta. You can do it." "I'm very sure that's not how it works; everything is working wonderfully.""What are you doing here, Lauren? What are you doing?" You've arrived at my friggin front door. I feel like I've been paid a surprise visit."I'm aware that I'm at your door, Loretta, and I was wondering if you would mind letting me in? The travel was lengthy, and I know you're aware that I'm expecting a child."Why didn't you simply take a plane or something?" says the other."Pregnant.""Who says pregnant ladies can't fly by plan
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 117 – "MATT?"
Lauren was dealing with Matt during the first week of December, but she was also thinking about a lot of other things at the time. It didn't appear to be much of an issue at first, but it turned out to be. When Matt returned, the first week of December had been a complete and utter disaster. She had just completed tidying up her flat in preparation for Lorenzo's arrival for supper at her residence. It had taken her hours, but she had finally completed her task. After then, someone outside pressed the buzzer.Loretta not only had a good doorbell, but she also had a good buzzer to go with it. It represented the word "home" for her. She assumed it was Lorenzo, but he had arrived far too soon for the time they had agreed on. It didn't matter whatever way she opened it; to her dismay, it turned out to be Matt.She closes her eyes, perhaps out of shock, but perhaps not out of shock. "Get out of here.""Lauren, come on, let yourself be seen. "Let's speak about it."
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 116 – KENDALL
The knocks were soft on the door. Loretta thought it couldn't have been one of the nurses coming to check up on her because they'd knock once and come right in. Loretta's first guess was Kendrick, so she tries standing up to go check. She reached out for her crutches next to her when her mother said not to."Don't worry, stay where you are. I'll go see who's at the door.""Mom, it's my hospital room. I can get the door myself.""Yeah, strong head, when you don't have a broken leg, you can get your doors yourself. She walks over to the door, muttering, "I leave you to live on your own, and soon you will have an accident and land yourself in a hospital with a broken bone." This was why Loretta would never mention that she had just woken up from a two-week coma.She opens the door while Loretta tries leaning forward to see who's at the door. "Who is it, Mom?"Oh, it's just a nurse that just told me hi, a really attractive nurse.""Let him in, M
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 115 – CHOCOLATE AND MOM
Sixteen hours had passed, and Kendrick still hadn't shown up. Loretta had to force herself to believe that Kendrick was OK, and he was either still asleep, which was very unusual but also expected since he was a zombie because he wasn't sleeping, or he was probably at home doing whatever. She was sleeping now. She had a big day in the morning. She had told her mother about her accident. She called her on Kendrick's phone, not because she wanted to, but because she had to. Now her mother would be in the hospital with her in the morning. Like every other mother, Loretta, too, didn't like to be late. Okay, not every mother, just a reasonable number of mothers, liked to be punctual. Loretta ate punctuality for breakfast, so she would be there pretty early. Sadly, punctuality eating wasn't passed down to Loretta, and no one else besides her, because she was the only child. Nurse Beatrice was a really good help, but sadly, she was a human being and she took
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 114 – SWEET BEATRICE
True Loretta had just told Kendrick that she was the said universe stopping their relationship, but she left out the most important part, the part where she doubted herself and she wanted not to let go, but as she'd been telling everyone to let go, no one told her to let go.To think of it, there wasn't much to let go of, except the fact that she felt no one could ever love her forever. It was actually in her past when her college boyfriend broke up with her for a really stupid reason. She couldn't believe it. While she was busy loving him, he was busy thinking of ways to leave her.Why would you break up with a reliable human being for some chick that said she would buy him the latest sports car? That was dumb and stupid, and Loretta felt every guy was just the same, dumb and stupid, and the last couple of years she's been asked out by that gender, they prove her right.Except for Kendrick, he somehow succeeded in proving her wrong, and now here she was with hi

Loretta was sort of happy that Nadine didn't see her in her terrible state, but also sort of wished she had because she could have told her exactly how she was without withholding. She would want to withhold, but Loretta would tell her not to, and she wouldn't hesitate to not withhold."Doc wouldn't let her, something about may not be able to stand seeing you. I think he needed just positive energy, which I found out she was the one with the most positive energy. For someone her age, she took it pretty well. ""What did she say? Did she say anything? ""She did say something. She said she'd talk to you when you woke up. That was pretty nice to hear, especially since I and Sebastian were freaking out. Mostly me anyway. Sebastian was too busy telling me to get your parents, but I told him I didn't know how to because I hadn't met your parents, and he was sort of disappointed that I didn't. He was pissed."Kendrick, how did you find me?" Loretta asks, and sh
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 112 – She's Real
Kendrick must have thought it was all a dream because it felt like it was, because jumping awake to Loretta saying his name, surprisingly loud, felt like he was dreaming. I mean, what are the odds that he would just close his eyes after his grand speech, and wake up to Loretta staring him in the eye?He reached out and touched her eyelids. She flinches. You can't blame him. He'd hardly slept in more than a week. For all he knew, she wasn't real.She calls his name again, but this time in a slow whisper, like she didn't believe he was there for real. "I remembered your name, Kendrick. I remembered." She reaches out for him and stops.Normally, in situations like this, all you could think of is calling a nurse in, or even calling a doctor directly, but Kendrick was stuck. He was confused and didn't understand what Loretta meant by remembering his name. He was brought out of his current confused state and placed into another. When her HRM started acti
