The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 1: HER DOWNFALL
• SMITH'S COMPANY BUILDINGMelody hurried as she walked towards her dad's office. Almost all the departments she passed by had their staff putting away their supplies. She did not understand what was happening or whether her dad knew about it."Dad, what happened?" She asked openly with a mixture of concern.Her breath was still catching, and when she saw her dad, his shoulders slumped, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. Her father looked at her for a moment and looked away before facing the table again.“I don't know what happened. The company is going down, child. I don't know how we can get up. All the investors and board of directors have left.” He was in tears while explaining. "The company is already deep in debt." Then he shook his head.“How did it fall? Why did I just find out now? I thought everything was fine here." She asked in disbelief.She always turned down her dad's wish to lead their company because she didn't think she was ready to lead. She is afraid to make a de
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 2: AUCTION NIGHT
She decided to leave their company because of the shame she felt. She went to Yassh. She met her in college. Yassh is a good friend of hers and a noble person, even if her current job is not good.She found out that she worked as a hostess at an auction night when she and Melvon were invited to an event, and there was currently an auction going on. Since then, they have become good friends. She wanted to help her then, but she didn't want to leave the usual job for reasons of her own."Are you sure about this, Melody?" Yassh asked worriedly. "This is not an easy job, and I know you know that."“I can't think of any other way. The money I need is no joke, and I know you also know where I can get such a large amount.”Yassh sighed. "If you are really determined, you can fill out this form for your information." Yassh handed her a paper. "You know this auction is super strict, and Madam Eve doesn't want sloppy staff. That's why I talked to Madam Eve, to give you a chance tonight."Melody
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 3: STEAMY NIGHT
After paying her, two men in black escorted her to a black limousine. She was taken to a luxurious hotel in the country. She couldn't stop being scared and crying.An old man with a fat belly bought her. She couldn't refuse anymore especially since she was already paid and she needed the money."Just wait for Mr. Buenavista. He left it to you to take a bath first." said one of its staff.She nodded. “Alright, thanks.”When she entered the hotel room, she immediately sat on the bed and cried."It's just one night, isn't it? After that I will free my father and we will start again." She said between sobs.She got up and went to the shower room. When she got out, she just kept on wearing a bathrobe. She turned off the light because she didn't want to see what would happen while that old man claimed her. She left only the lamp shade open. Her knees trembled as she returned to the bed and sat there.A few moments later she heard the lock on the door— its opening and closing of it. This was
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 4: HER TWIN BABIES
• Five Years LaterMelody's Point of View."Mommy! Brother Lexus, break my toy!”"No, Mom! He broke my book first!”I immediately looked at my twin children. I put down the ladle and turned off the gas stove. I quickly went to the living room and caught up with the two looking at each other."What happened? Why are you two fighting again?” I asked, then felt my senses."He broke my new toy, Mommy!" Liven said it as if he could cry.Lexus fixed the glasses. "He broke my book, Mom!"I held my breath. Seriously, I can't stand the stubbornness of these two. I stepped between them and held out my hand. They immediately put down their broken things.Well, they know the drill."Brother Lexus, why did you break Liven's toy?"I'm looking at Lexus now."Because he broke my book, Mom."I looked at Liven."Liven, why did you break Kuya Lexus's toy?"Liven couldn't speak and just bowed."Because I didn't make his toy. He makes me, Mommy, fix the Rubik's cube he's playing with—but I'm busy reading
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 5: FINALLY, I FOUND YOU
The day of the week arrives, and the twins are happy about the celebration that will take place in an expensive restaurant. They even managed to surprise him this morning. As she grew older, she couldn't help but be afraid that one day she would wake up without the twins or that she would be the one to lose.But she won't let that happen."Is Tito Alejandro there yet?" asked Yassh.They were riding in the same van, so Marco and Yvonne were also there. She also became friends with Marco, and that was not affected when he and Yassh broke up."Yes, he is already there, but he will only be there for a while because he has to go somewhere else. After we're here at the restaurant, I also have to go back to the office; I'm still finishing up some work. Manang Gina will take care of the twins," replied Melody.When they arrived at the restaurant, they immediately went to the reserved VIP room, and the children were very happy because their favorite cartoon characters dressed as mascots were a
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 6: APOLLO'S INSTINCT
Apollo's Point Of View.Apollo had just arrived at his own office. His head was already hot because of the materials that did not arrive on the exact date that was discussed. He hates something like this! You're just being sloppy and making him wait."Mr. Luxerio, do you want some coffee?” asked his secretary, Esme.It is still obvious that he is not in a good mood. Esme knows that when their president has a temper, he often fires employees."Yes, please, and hurry up," he responded gently but without emotion.When his secretary came out of his office, he loosened his necktie. He couldn't help but throw or destroy things, so he stood up and threw a flower. He got so annoyed that he threw it and broke it. At the same time, Epifanio entered."What the fvck, Dude?" Epi looked surprised, then put the envelope he was holding on the table."Oh, please, Epi. I hope you bring good news, because all I've been hearing today is bad news, which I no longer wish to hear. So if that's not good news,
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 7: DESIRE BEYOND BUSINESS
Mr. Smith has just arrived at a restaurant, in the place where Apollo wants to talk to him. Suddenly, his secretary called, and he couldn't refuse the request, especially since he said it was an emergency meeting."I'm not going to go far anymore. I want to take down the contract with you, Mr. Smith. My lawyer will talk to you for the compensation," Apollo suddenly said.Mr. Smith immediately looked up to Apollo, and he stopped drinking water. The old man's face showed shock and fear. And Apollo couldn't stop grinning. He knows very well that his existence and money are in the company of Mr. Smith."But why, Mr. Apollo? What happened? I thought we understood each other already?” he asked wonderingly and as if in disbelief."Because I found out about the past of your company. You are the one who was involved in the robbery of your own company.""But that's five years ago. And I had nothing to do with the robbery. They framed me! ”"And I also learned that you have a daughter."Man to m
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 8: OLD MAN'S ACT
“I owe you one, Miss Melody, for your beautiful art! My husband will literally love it! "said Mrs. Thompson.They are currently in her own art gallery, which only her regular customers know about. If she is not in the office, she stays here. Painting became her hobby."Oh, I should be the one to thank. Thank you for buying my work, Mrs. Thompson. It's meant a lot to me, especially when I know that my paintings are in good hands," Melody replied with a smile.When the lady left, Melody received a call from her dad. He rarely calls her, especially when the weekend is coming up, because they spend time with the children. She didn't hesitate to answer it."Hello, Dad? Why are you suddenly summoned? Is there a problem?""Meet me at my office. I need to talk to you.” His Daddy responded seriously. She was about to speak, but he immediately ended the phone call.She put her things away and got into the car. She picked up her children from school first. As usual, Lexus is emotionless, while L

"Thanks for the invitation, Mr. Luxerio!” Ellara said smiling. “I've been wanting to go to the beach! I'm glad you asked me." She caressed Apollo's arm at the same time."It's nothing, and we're just a little bit more," Apollo replied.Melody's eyes narrowed as she watched the two talking from a distance. She wondered why this woman was with him. Is this what he is talking about bonding with children? She seemed to want to not come, but that was not possible because her children were with her. If she withdraws, they will surely be sad too.Their things are currently arranged and the children are also in the van. They haven't left yet because they're waiting for this VIP girl, as well as her so-called friend. Yassh and Yvonne will not be able to join, because they are in Singapore with Matthew. There was something she didn't know about those two friends of hers."The face looks like a Barbie, but the movements are like a snake." She said in a low voice."You're right about that, girl.
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 22: PEACE OF OFFERING
When Apollo grabbed her waist and led her out of the mansion, she didn't even think twice about going out with him. While inside the van, Melody couldn't stop crying. She was crying silently while looking outside.A few years ago. The two villains in her life have already been won to take her down, but why do they still want to humiliate her in front of so many people? Luckily Apollo was there and helped her.She glanced at him. He was silent while looking out the other window of the van.“T—Thank you. . .” Melody only said when they entered the house.Apollo shook his head. "I did that not for you. That's for me so that I won't be embarrassed and told off by a frivolous husband." gently but there was a hint of anger in his voice.Melody couldn't understand why. What's that? Is that just a show to people earlier? Should she be surprised?"If you're angry because you're sure to be full of news again, I wish you hadn't approached me and helped me!" She was annoyed. "Or is it because you
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 21: APOLLO SAVED HER
While Apollo was talking to one of the clients of their company, his attention was gradually caught by a meeting of people near the pool area. Everyone seems interested in whatever is going on. When he turned to Epifanio, he gestured to him as if he were asking him what was going on. And still, he continued to talk."I don't have time to beat the madness of you two."Apollo immediately turned to the pool area when he heard his wife's voice.His two eyes saw how a woman poured wine into Melody's gown. He held tightly to the glass he was holding. What the heck is happening?“That's Melvon and Tanny. He is Melody's ex-boyfriend, and I think right now they want to embarrass her," Epifanio said to his side.His jaw darkened. What right do they have to embarrass his wife after they destroyed Melody's life before? And that Melvon, even with his smooth face, looks like he can't be trusted anymore. And the way he looks at her wife! He fantasized about his wife.How dare he? Does it want to die
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 20: INDEFINABLE FEELINGS
When Apollo saw Melody, he couldn't find his tongue to speak. She looks more beautiful in that outfit. He felt at that time that he could not take his eyes off his wife.This is how he felt when he first laid eyes on her after a night together. He didn't expect that feeling to happen again. When he looked down at her, he only noticed the spitting of her cleavage, and he could almost see her entire smooth thigh.He swallowed quickly and clenched his fist. I think his staff forgot his instructions! Wearing it is too revealing!"What the hell are you wearing, Melody?" he asked angrily.Melody was unable to speak immediately. She could see how Apollo's emotions and facial expressions changed. It was as if she had swallowed her tongue.Apollo quickly approached her. "Didn't the head manager tell you that revealing is not allowed? Are you trying to seduce men out there?” He still stings.She felt insulted by Apollo's words. “It's my choice! This is my body, so only I have the right to choos
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 19: DON'T BE KIND
"Why is this boutique for VIPs now? Who are the VIP's? Am I not part of the VIP's?!” shouted a woman. "For your information, I'm a regular and loyal customer here! "We all looked at the entrance of the boutique."Let me in!" The woman struggled to enter even though the guards were blocking it.When it passed the guards, it looked at them evilly. She was even slightly surprised to recognize who the woman was. None other than Tanny the whore."Oh, look here. Are you the one who says VIP? Oh my gosh, no matter which angle you look at, you don't look like a VIP," she said cursedly. Someone else held a guard on her arm. "What the hell! Don't touch me! Ugh! You're so dirty, Ew!” The guards looked at Melody, and she just motioned to let this girl go."You seem lost, Tanny. Melvon isn't here for you to lose yourself like that.”Shane and Wincy looked at each other; they seemed to get who this girl was when she mentioned her ex-boyfriend's name. The expressions on her friend's faces quickly c
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 18: MY BODY, MY RULES
After eating, the children left to go to school. Before Melody could leave the house, Apollo was gone, and only Butler Geor was left. She frowned when she saw him smiling at her.“Good morning, Butler Geor. It looks like you're in a googly mood, huh? "She greeted him with a smile."Ah, to be honest, it's been a long time since I've been this happy again, Miss Melody," was his response.“You can just call me Melody. What makes you in a good mood? I doubt if Apollo is the reason for your smiles; maybe you are flirting with someone, right? "She joked while smiling.“I'm too old for love. And don't doubt that Apollo is the reason, because he is. Thank you very much, Melody. I heard you reprimanded him the other day because of what happened to me. Did you know he apologized? I'm so happy that the stone-hearted, fickle-minded Apollo has finally learned to apologize again.”Melody frowned. “Woah. When was the last time he apologized? Is he not used to saying sorry? "She wondered if there was
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 17: A LITTLE PART OF THEIR PAST
What the doctor said sounded like a bomb exploding in his ears. He almost runs over everyone he passes to go to the room where his mommy is. His entire being was almost crushed. There was so much pain and tightness in his chest that it was as if he couldn't breathe anymore.He's out of control. He couldn't count how many nights he broke and destroyed something visible. Even his friends' things, such as cars, windows, doors, and even the gate. He was so devastated.After his mother died, his father left him. And that's another pain to endure."Apollo? Are you okay?”Apollo came back to the present and immediately pulled his hand away from Melody. He quickly turned around because he felt tears welling up in his eyes."Get out now," he ordered again."Nothing at all, thank you?" Melody asked in disbelief."I didn't ask for your help. So, why should I?" Apollo still turned away."At least be thankful that I helped you. But anyway, I know you won't thank me; I'm going out. Don't break thin
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 16: NOT A SECRET ANYMORE
Apollo just shook his head. They first went through Happy 24/7—a mini store. Apollo bought water and a burger for Melody to eat on the way home. Melody told him that, if possible, he shouldn't tell her, Daddy, and the children what happened. Apollo agreed, even though he was curious about her past.The next day, Apollo made sure Melody ate breakfast. The children were very happy that they were eating together. That's the feeling of having a family. It's been a long time since he last ate at home. Apollo always eats outdoors with Epifanio or clients."You ride with me; we're going to the same destination," Apollo said before Melody got into her car."No, I can drive. I don't want to talk about us; remember our deal? Our staff should not know about us.” Melody responded and got inside.Apollo did nothing more. So he got into his car. Before it even left, Apollo noticed the wheel behind it."It looks like you're falling for me. Your car's rear tire is flat," he said, still looking at the
The Billionaire's Innocent Bride CHAPTER 15: MELODY'S FEAR
"What just happened, Apollo? You're so bad, and even if I don't eat breakfast, I'll be dizzy from hunger at lunch!” Epifanio said without stopping."I didn't know that she hadn't eaten yet, okay? Don't scold and shout at me. I know I'm wrong, but she's wrong too because I didn't say don't eat! How would I know if she is hungry? Damn it!”He didn't know what to do earlier, so he took Melody to the hospital. When the doctor said that it was because of stress and maybe she hadn't eaten, he suddenly remembered her asking for a sandwich at the mansion of Mr. Brooklyn.He was too busy with work earlier. There are many files that need to be fixed, and there are amounts of money released that he needs to make sure match each project of Mr. Smith's company. He doesn't want trouble.He wants the work to be polished because he doesn't want to get to the point where he blames everyone if something goes wrong that he doesn't know about. That's why even Melody felt sorry because of the many orders
