Chapter 87 - THE PASS
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After the bedroom scene, the last words Kendrick uttered before laying down to sleep kept ringing I'm her head 'You're my happy place, Loretta'. Who would think just that statement could put one under that kind of pressure. A normal human being wouldn't be put under pressure, but knowing Loretta, you couldn't exactly classify her as a normal human being.
She wasn't normal, just out of the usuals in Roy's language. It wasn't the words that were her problem, it was the fact that those words were said to her by Kendrick while he was crying. Is that really what he saw her as?
She was hoping this particular guy would just be like any guy she's dated, not like she's dated a thousand of them but...she was hoping this whole thing would just last for a few months, or maybe a year then he would start acting up and seeing other new people because to him, she had already been cast, he had seen everything he wanted to see about her, there was nothing more. What was left was for h

The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 88 – The Halloween Party
The days turn into weeks that speed up really, really fast, faster than Loretta would have guessed. Halloween was coming up, and luckily that was Loretta's favorite holiday because of the same rituals every year. While some thought it was getting old, Loretta still loved them: the office Halloween parties, the unending candy, the different Halloween costumes each year, and the feeling of nausea when she got back home from all the bad combinations of punch and candy. She was never drunk at any of these parties, just really high on sugar, which to her was almost as good as saying she was drunk. But this year was going to be different. She just knew it. She wasn't quite acquainted with the difference; she wasn't sure how a bit was going to be, but she knew it was going to be different with Kendrick, because of Kendrick. "I really love Halloween. I know it sounds crazy, but I do." Loretta tells Kendrick to meet her in her apartment on the 29th. The
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 89 – Dancing With Loretta
"No, that's so far from it, Miss Loretta. I was just taken aback a tiny bit because you know, Nadine watches that, and she'd be thrilled that you actually dressed up like one of them." Well, isn't that good to hear? I guess Nadine and I are like two peas in a pod." "Yeah, maybe you could say something like that." "And you're wearing a tux. I guess that makes you a man in black." Loretta says, placing her palm on his chest, leaving him smiling. But Loretta only did that out of gesture, not that she was trying anything else, and it seemed Sebastian was taking this the wrong way. "Where's your partner?" Dressing up as a man in the back does mean you have to have a partner." "I'm not actually a man in black, I'm more like a man in a tuxedo that his daughter actually made him wear." Don't you think that's a bit too long for what you're dressed as? Maybe a short one like "Man in a tux" should be OK, or maybe "Man in black." Yea
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 90 – A Slight Violation
To Sebastian's surprise, Kendrick sat next to him. He didn't think his boss would be here after he told them he wouldn't and that they were free to go without him since it was just a party. Sorry, I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Kendrick. You know, you said you wouldn't be coming. " Yes, I did say that, but it looks like I'm here now. I changed my mind. " "Any reason you'd like to share, sir?" "No no, none that I would like to share. Just imagine I'm not here, and keep having the fun you're having. I saw you with someone, swaying away with your hands on her waist. Who is that? You seemed to be really into the dance. Where is she anyway? " "Well, err..she went to get more drinks for herself." "For herself? None for you? " Well, that's a bummer. " I don't exactly mind. I'm perfectly fine. I don't even need a drink now. Well, I'd best get to what I came here for. Did you come to look for someone? The person ho
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 91 – Ruining Halloween
Kendrick put him down! Loretta repeats, "Why the fuck would you want to start a scene here? That is so not you, Kendrick. Let him go or you really won't like me. " Kendrick hesitantly takes his palm off Sebastian and sits down, while Sebastian falls to the ground and coughs loudly. What got into you, Kendrick? Did you want to strangle him to death? " "You probably would have if you hadn't told me to stop." "He's your staff, Kendrick. What do you think will happen to you? What do you think people will say about you? What kind of example are you trying to set? And don't forget me. Don't think I won't get a share in all of this. Just because of me, you would kill Sebastian. I think you are being too excessive about all of this. What is wrong with you? " She continues scolding. You don't understand, Loretta, he was fucking lusting over you. This wouldn't have gone this far if he hadn't fucking touched your waist. " Is this w
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 92 - REGRETS
Kendrick knew this particular feeling of a door being shut in his face by the same girl. The feeling wasn't nice at all, it left him feeling rejected, hated, any bad thing you could think of.He really had to stop doing this to Loretta; he had to stop finding himself in this situation. If she was actually going to give him a chance now, twice is enough. She might not give him another chance after this. He had never in his life wanted to be so careful with everything he did. He had also never in his life wanted to strangle someone because of someone else.Loretta was doing things to him he didn't quite understand, and he wasn't used to those things, that was why he was always messing things up.&n
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 93 – FIESTA
No need to regret what she'd already done. What was left was to dry Fay up, give her food, and go shower, which she did.She wondered how one cat could give her this much trouble in a day. She was off today. This wasn't the way their bath routine was. She probably didn't want to go anywhere today, just like Loretta didn't. But she had to go get a car, and Fay was going with her because being outside was also good for kittens.They both got into the taxi, smelling good and fresh. Even their mood was good and fresh, and in mere seconds, they got to the only car dealership open on Sundays. They should probably be earning more than others because they had nice cars at affordable prices, and most importantly, they were open every day.The
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 94 – Pregnancy Quirks
Loretta left with her car feeling really good that she'd put a smile on her hero's face. She loved the way her eyes lit up when she saw the extra, she put in it. I bet she never expected anything that good to come her way. Sometimes, making people happy was all you needed to feel OK after a fight with the man you started loving.She wanted to do more than just tell people how happy her hero was. She looked so worked up, Loretta could see it, but she still had a smile on her face. She was going through a lot. Loretta understood that very much, although she didn't quite know how it felt for the weight of others to be on her chest.Finally, she got a car, and she was driving it without difficulty, with Fay right beside her. It felt good. She wanted to tell Kendrick, but since they weren't on sp
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 95 – Sebastian's Home
Dialling Sebastian's number later that evening didn't seem like a difficult task, especially since she didn't, fortunately, but strangely, have his number, which happened in the part we don't know about. She waited patiently for the first ring, and when he didn't pick up, she started wondering if he was doing it on purpose.There was no doubt she would think that or that he would do it; it was expected of him. When the guy you just started loving tries to kill a male friend that you had a dance with and has a lot of body contact to make one envious (that is if you wanted to exaggerate like yelling) when he tries to kill the guy but doesn't, you don't exactly know what to say to him. He almost died because of you. Because you had to keep quiet about being with his boss. Those were the only words that would run through your very mind.She wo

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
