"Lauren, what do you mean you’re going to a club tonight?"Those words Loretta heard Lauren say came as a really serious blow to her. She never thought she'd hear her friend say that."Loretta, I'm going through a breakup, I might as well just have a good time"."But that's not how these things work," Loretta says, trying to stop her friend from making what she feels, is a mistake."Loretta listen, it's already been decided, and it is not like it's the first time I'm going to a nightclub. I've done this several times before I met Matt though. It sounds scary to you because you've never been to one.""At least, I know what goes on there. A bunch of drunk people, getting laid in filthy bathrooms," Loretta says with plain disgust."Loretta, you've got two options here, stay home, eat ice cream in bed and let your friend get wasted without anyone looking ou
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 14 - Meeting Someone
The night was sure going the way Loretta thought it would. She was bored, she needed a drink, but she didn't know the one to get because she didn't want to get too drunk, that she wouldn't be able to do anything. So, she just sat there, looking at servers come and go, thinking to herself, that servers need to get serious tips for their work.She saw the same server that went in Lauren's direction, drag a drunk lady puking everywhere out the back exit. Worse she was barefoot.Loretta didn't want such to happen to Lauren and although she could still see her silvery hair, she couldn't go after her. Her hatred for the crowd was the only thing stopping her from moving.She took her phone out of her purse and looked at the time, it wasn't even close to midnight. This was going to be a long night. How she would kill for a text message right now.She recently blocked all her contacts especially, Ken and Roy

"Right? Alex, I'm so glad you get it...someone gets it."Loretta didn't believe anyone else would say what she's felt for over three years now. The thing is, Loretta never said she wanted to remain alone forever, but being rushed into finding someone or bringing a partner home, wasn't something she wanted to do. She wanted to take her time. She wanted to prepare herself mentally, maybe she looked ready physically but not mentally.These things don't just happen. Right now, it would really be nice if she met someone that would stick with her, and wait for her to get ready."Of course, I get it," Alex continues "Some people are just not destined the same way. Some get married early, and some wait a while, it might seem like they never will but then, they do. And there are the ones that don't get married at all maybe because they don't want to, or maybe it just isn't right for them"."A
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 16 - Midnight
It was way past midnight now. Loretta wasn't so sure she'd ever stayed out this late. Even if she wanted to stay up this late, it would be at home not outside, or in a club where her best friend was drunk and she was now recently sucking on Jäger.Loretta knows Laurens a serious mess when she gets drunk, she talks shit when she's drunk. She didn't exactly want Lauren to be in all of this all by herself."Alex, I want to taste it"."Are you sure you can handle it? I mean some people can't exactly handle Jäger. So are you sure you want it?”"C’mon, why are you trying to make this sound like it's some impossible mission Alex, it's just one shot. I just want to taste it. I want to know if I should get ready to take Lauren home"."OK miss Loretta, if you say so. Patrick! Give us a shot of Jäger" Alex said raising his hands "My lady brace yourself, for the be

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN"Fuck! How did I not remember this... oh jeez, that Jäger," she said talking to herself."Why did I forget this? Oh no, I could have asked Alex, he could have helped". "No, I rejected his offer. Stupid! Stupid!Another offer would have helped out, and I ended up rejecting again. Loretta what the hell’s wrong with your head?"."Plus, someone's got to watch Lauren. They're no taxies around. Are we going to sleep here?"She was still talking to herself, when Lauren groaned, opened the door, and threw up outside. Lots and lots of vomit. She was badly drunk.Loretta was tired, drunk, and frustrated. For some reason, she was still alive and not half-dead like Lauren.She hit her head on the steering wheel multiple times, causing the car to honk multiple times not minding the noise, her problem

Alex starts the car and moves. Loretta was so glad she was finally taking Lauren home. She needed a long bath; she'd just sit there and probably dose off. But unluckily, Lauren only had a showerhead so it was going to have to be a quick one.She brought her phone out of her purse and checked the time, it was almost four. She sighed and leaned back, still holding muttering Lauren. What was she going to do with Alex, she couldn't just tell him after he's dropped them, to go home this late?She was going to have to tell him to sleep over, till it was bright enough to go back home. If he doesn't want that, she's going to have to seriously convince him to a sleepover. It was just a few hours, it wouldn't hurt."Hey Alex, thank you for not laughing when I told you I couldn't drive. I don't tell much people; it is a little embarrassing"."Why would I laugh, its nothing to be ashamed of at all. It is not the

Alex was speechless for a while before Loretta realized what she said."Oh no, oh my gosh no, that's not what I meant. Gosh, that's not what I meant, oh jeez I feel silly right now" she put her hand on her forehead and put her head down. Alex burst out laughing."Miss Loretta, I don't even know what to feel or say"."Oh, jeez Alex, that's not what I had in mind. It just came out unexpectedly, I just want to ask if you would sleep over, you know cos it's late, and you can't go out this late. I for one wouldn't want to go out this late and...""Miss Loretta easy, let me save you the stress. Yes of course I'll stay over, till it is bright enough to go home"."Ok", she said her cheeks getting rosy. "I thought, it was going to be hard convincing you to stay. Do you want anything to eat? I think we have raw eggs, cereal, and ice cream, beautiful choices"."What!" A
The Billionaire's Heartbeat CHAPTER 20 - Guy on her couch
Six hours after Lauren finally slept off, she opened her eyes. It was bright out and quiet too, oddly quiet. She wondered what happened, how she was home, how she got to bed, and why the hell she woke up. She was still really tired, felt like she just closed her eyes for two minutes. She looked around her, trying to recall something, anything. She had the worst kind of headache, and the fullest bladder, that was what probably woke her up. She heard Loretta's calls ringing in her head "Lauren! Lauren! Get up!" She had to get up now, she was sure her head was going to explode in the next second. "Oh God, my head, I need Aspirin," she said getting out from the bed. First, she had to go to the bathroom, wondered how long she held it in. She was a bit worried; Loretta wasn't in the same room with her, and s

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
