Chapter 64 – Saturday Was A Letdown
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I deserve it." Kendrick kept saying this as he went back to the car. He kept thinking about tonight, regretting not telling her.
It would have been easier. He told himself, "Why didn't I just tell her? She'll never talk to me again. I know this for sure. I just hope she does talk to me. "
Loretta, back at her apartment, leans with her back on the door, hating how the whole thing ended. It was close to a total disaster. She did nothing but sleep while it rained outside.
***
Waking up wasn't that bad; everywhere felt peaceful. Loretta got up from bed to check the time. It was past 9 a.m. How did she sleep that long?

Sunday was going by pretty fast for Loretta, with her just watching thrillers and horror films all day. She also finally did her laundry; the stain on her fleece PJs wasn't that difficult to wash off. Not knowing what else to do, she just stood and watched the clothes spin in the washing machine. Now holding a huge bowl of popcorn, she sits upside down on her sofa, watching one of the thrillers. Then she heard her phone ring, and the sound was combined with someone screaming. She sat up straight and saw that it was Roy calling. "Hey Loretta, how you doing?" "I'm OK." She says, while stuffing popcorn in her mouth, the crun
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 66 – Meeting Sebastian
"Damn it!" a voice sounded from behind the shelf, as a flower pot fell to the ground and shattered, making a mess of flowers and dirt. Loretta moves some of the flowers a bit, to get a tiny glimpse of who was going to pay more than they bargained for. She saw blonde hair, and when he turned his face, she saw it was him, the man she'd seen at the meeting that she recognized, but didn't know where she'd seen his face. Mom, you said this would be easy. Well, it's not... no..why did you send just me to a flower shop? You know, I don't do so well with flowers. " From what Loretta heard, he was talking to someone on the phone now, and from what she saw, it was his mother. He just dialed her number. Yes, I broke something. Now I got to pay extra, and I still don't know what to get her... no, I said no mom.." He bent to pick more broken pieces off the floor, but Loretta could still hear what he was saying.
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 67 – No Pool, No Permission
Of course, Loretta had to explain exactly who the flowers were for to Roy on their way to his house because he wouldn't stop pestering her to tell him. It was getting pretty annoying, but she couldn't tell him that. It would sound too rude. And if telling him would make it stop, then why not? The drive to Roy's house was longer compared to Kendrick's. Maybe it was because he took a shortcut, or maybe it had something to do with his cranking the accelerator. They didn't talk much during the drive, which made Loretta think of Kendrick and why he hadn't called her all this time. Maybe not to apologize again, but at least act as she exists. She felt if she called him, it would make her desperate. But it was totally fine if he called her. She wanted to know what happened to Kendrick's family. "Hey, Roy," she breaks the silence. Sorry, I know I said the flower shop was closed. I sort of lied. You don't have to call me o
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 68 - MONDAY
Monday was just like every other Monday, where Loretta had to wake up really tired and not have the strength to make any breakfast for herself. So, she would either go to a café close to the office and have breakfast, or just wait till it was time for her lunch break. Roy's alarm was the best; it had the best noise. If that's the right way to put it, She was more than happy that she smashed hers; if not, she wouldn't have gotten this one from Roy. She kept thinking of what Roy did. She felt he didn't exactly kiss her, and it didn't count. But she wondered why she froze. She didn't hate it, and she didn't like it either.
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 69 – The Accident
"Who is it, Octavious? You better not be fooling around with me." For some reason, Loretta was terrified. It wasn't like anyone was after her life, but the whole story about Kendrick looking like shit, and how everyone was acting all strange, didn't go well. She heard slow footsteps coming, but they weren't from Octavious. At that moment, she hated how, from where she sat, she couldn't directly see anyone that came into her office. She'd have to wait for them to come in properly, which she was doing now. Kendrick! She gasps. Luckily it was Kendrick, and he wasn't carrying any knives. "Shit! Kendrick, you look like shit. What happened to you? What are you doing here? " "I thought
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 70 – Home Food At Work
"What's in the bag?" Loretta asks. She'd been wanting to see what was in the bag since Octavious dropped it off. It's not like it's been long since he left, but that was how impatient she was. "It's actually for you. Here you go." Kendrick says, handing her the bag. "Is it? What's in it? " "Open it and see what's in it." Opening it, she gives Kendrick side looks that just make him laugh and say, "Go on, open it." She brings out a transparent plastic food container, and she looks at the contents, trying to find out what the food was. "Lasagna! She says her face brightens up so much. Did you make lasagna for me? Wait, is this leftover from that night? " "Oh no it's not, I threw those away." The three are fresh new badges, different flavors. "Three? She looks into the bag and brings out two more food containers. Wow, two more, and you said they're different flavors? " Yeah, different flavors. The fir
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 71 - "CALLING ALEX"
On the 30th of August, Loretta's birthday is finally here, and she finds herself in her bedroom, sitting right in front of her dresser, still in her PJs, staring down at Alex's card, doing her usual contemplating.Till now, she still didn't know if calling him was the best idea. What if his wife finds out? Would she have caused a serious family problem? Should she keep her shit to herself, and maybe wait some other day, and not be a homewrecker?But there was no other day. Today was the day. They both had birthdays today, so it was right to remember and wish him, even if no one had called or sent any birthday cards.You would think as everything went well in the office this month, that people would flood her phone with calls, wishing her happy birthday. But there was no single one, not from Roy, not from Kendrick, not from Lauren, or even from her parents.She was seriously ashamed of everyone she knew... or at least thought she knew. Well, she didn't wan
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 72 – Happy Birthday, Loretta (I)
Forgive him, can you just call back in the next few minutes? ""A client?" Loretta asks loudly, slightly irritated that she didn't know when the words escaped her mouth.Yeah, sorry, most clients don't exactly like to be called that. I understand. If you could just give me your name and tell me what appointment you have with him, then I could tell him and have him call you back. ""Er..."It's alright, I promise to tell him right away. Don't be worried. I am his wife, Vanessa, and not some psychotic person that wants your personal information. So you can tell me your name, plus you have a nice voice. ""Er..my name is Loretta I guess..you could tell him Loretta called. I don't exactly have any appointments with him, so it's ok if he...""Wait, let me stop you there," Vanessa cuts. Did you just say your name is Loretta?"Yes, I just said that.""As in Loretta Wayne?"Shocked, she says slowly, "Yeah, that's me. How do you

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
