Last Updated:
2021-11-25 08:00:11"Attention everyone on this plane," the speaker screeched again. "We have an hour left to land at New York's airport. Please remain in your seats to avoid bad situations from the turbulence."
Loretta looked at her wristwatch and sighed, "An hour? "It's more like less than an hour," she reasoned.
She drifted into her thoughts again. She didn't know how that always happened, but she didn't mind it, as long as it kept her sane and busy.
It was the same way Alex found her. She wondered if anyone would come to sit with her and keep her company.
Of course, sir freak has already attempted this. The thing is, whenever she desperately prayed for company, she always got company.
"Hi, excuse me," someone said, calling Loretta out of her thoughts.
"Oh, hi again," Loretta says, "Nadine, right?"
"Yeah, thanks for remembering my name," Nadine says, sitting next to her. "Oh sorry, I was supposed to ask first before sitting. I'll stand u

"What heights can you go for the one you love?" These words went through her head as she listened to the goodbye message Nadine's best friend made for her.Nadine heard Loretta say it, but it didn't sound right in her ears. She wondered if she was OK."Lady Loretta! Hello, Loretta! "She tried getting her attention, but calling her didn't seem to be working, so she waved her hands in front of her.Loretta blinks and takes the headphones off."Are you OK, Loretta?""Yeah, I'm good. Why would you think something is wrong?""Nothing, it's just you muttered a few words.""I did? What did I say? " Loretta asks, confused."I think it had something to do with 'What heights would you go for' — um, what was it again? I don't exactly remember the last part. ""Oh! What heights would you go to for the one you love? ""Yeah, that was it."Wow, I muttered that? It must have slipped out while I was

By herself now, Loretta feels it's best to just go home and see if there's anything she needs to get done. Eating, for example, she was feeling kind of hungry now, but first, she had to leave the airport and go shopping. She wasn't sure if she had anything to eat at home."Taxi!" She yelled at a cab. She watched as it slowly screeched to a stop. a stop, right in front of her. Good thing she didn't have to stress. She got in immediately."Hello milady," the taxi driver said, "and where would you like me to take you?""Um... Main Street, please. You can stop right at that grocery store close to it." You know it right? "Well, I wouldn't be a cab driver if I didn't. Just relax and I'll get you there. But please, once you're there safely, don't forget to leave a five-star review. ""Cool, I guess."As she moved, she looked through the window and watched cars pass. The night was pretty and colorful, if only she felt colorful inside. She didn't ha

"Mr. Jerry, a very nice name," Loretta says.It's just Jerry, lady, just Jerry."Okay, cool, so err... Jerry, could you please help me pick out something I could buy? I'm just coming from the airport, and I'm not exactly sure that I have anything at home to eat, so maybe you could be of assistance. ""I'm not sure how much help I could be right now, lady. I did say I was closing for the day.""C'mon, you're a storekeeper, you should have some ideas," Loretta pleads."Ok, um... I dunno, but you've been standing in front of the honey bottles, so maybe you could buy one of them or some of them. "Loretta thinks for a while, then yells, "Brilliant! Jerry, you are a genius. I could fry sausages and dip them in honey. Sweet.Yeah, Lady, I'm not sure that's a good idea, but if it gets you out of here and makes you call me brilliant and genius, then sure, I'll go with it."Ok, so what next? Loretta's eyes widen.

She stayed on the sofa a little longer, before getting just enough energy to do a few things. She couldn't stay here. Although it felt very soothing and comfortable, she felt like sleeping off. But no, she had to stay conscious and think of what she would do tomorrow.She thought of going to work tomorrow, but she wasn't sure yet. The thought of just showing up at work after three days when she was given a week off didn't go well in her head.

Loretta didn't expect the kind of welcome she got. First, it was the head-turning, then total silence. It was like no one exactly recognized her. It was probably because of her hair. Damn silver hair. Then someone in the background yells " "It's just Loretta, guys!" Then a few others started saying her name. It was the weirdest moment. "Yay, Loretta's back!" "We're so glad you're back. We're in desperate times." "Welcome back, Loretta. We missed you." People around us kept saying Loretta wondered what they meant by "desperate times." She hoped everything would be OK. She decides to say something. "Awen guys, thank you. It's just been three days. You guys missed me?" "You have no idea, hottie," someone said, but she didn't know who said it. "Oh, my goodness, who said that?" "But damn girl, you got hotter." Who's saying that? Octavious, is that you? I swear if that's you, I'll kill you later. "

Stepping into the conference room and having everyone's heads turn didn't exactly feel like a nice gesture. Although she wanted to do that today, this wasn't what she meant.She watched Octavious go to a seat close to her boss, Diego. It was probably his position. She looked around for Kendrick. He wasn't hard to find; he was sitting between two men. One was a blonde-haired guy who looked a bit familiar, and the other was a blonde-haired guy who didn't exactly look familiar.He looked up at her too, but he looked away almost immediately. At that point, Loretta had so many things running through her mind. Could it be that he didn't recognize her with her hair, or maybe he didn't want to speak to her again? There were a lot of possible options.

Loretta was so enjoying what was happening that she felt good having a one-on-one argument with Kendrick in the all-important conference room. She didn't cause it though, she was just standing up for herself and also not caring about the consequences.Kendrick, on the other hand, wondered why she was eating him up like she hadn't had breakfast; literally, she hadn't. He felt he could easily just stand up and have his entourage follow him out. Although they weren't exactly his entourage, he didn't want to think of them that way, especially his trusted friend Santiago.Walking out would also mean serious business disconnection for the two companies. His company had never experienced any losses, and he couldn't stop feeling that somehow his disconnection with this company, at this point, was going to affect his company negatively. He wasn't c

"Oh, hi Kendrick, you're still here," Loretta says, hating the fact that she was just standing there right now.You just wanted to walk past me, didn't you? "Act like you didn't see me, huh," Kendrick continues."Don't flatter yourself Mr Kendrick, I didn't see you" she lied.She saw the two other men standing with Kendrick were now looking at her. She wondered what it was with this company and staring at people. They should name it Staring Enterprise, and not KR Enterprise.The next person her eyes went to was Cedric. She didn't really know why her eyes went to him, but she did know she wanted to know if she was taller than him as she suspected.She was right. He was like a cute little av

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
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 113 – ANOTHER LIGHT
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
