The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 33 The Valderrama Heir Is Born
Amara Valderrama POV I wake up to crushing pain. It’s not just in my stomach anymore, it rattles the bones of my entire body. I touch my hand between my legs and when I feel how wet the floor beneath me is, I know I’m in real trouble. I look around the room hoping he’s not here anymore, if he isn’t I can take my chance and try to escape, in between the contractions I'm having. However, there doesn’t seem much hope of that when I see him from the corner of my eye and feel another pain starting to build, already. “Daniel!” I clutch my belly, shifting myself so my back is against the wall. I tense my body when another contraction paralyzes me. “Please.” I’ve forgotten all the different ways to breathe all I can think about now, are the things Dr. Jonathan Ferrero told me could go wrong if I were to deliver without medical help. “Please, Daniel. I need a hospital.”“I told you, Amara, my mother gave birth to me in this cabin. The heir to all the Valderrama fortune, and reputation, was
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 34 Alessandra and Oliver Alexander Valderrama
Amara Valderrama POV Anna managed to cut our baby's cord using the equipment Daniel had in his bag, and when Dr. Jonathan Ferrero arrived shortly afterward, he helped me deliver the placenta. Both my father and Manfred argued against me when I refused to go to the hospital, which at least proves they have the ability to agree on something. But after getting a clean bill of health for both me and the baby from Dr. Jonathan Ferrero, Manfred agreed with some persuasion that we could go straight home. Now I’m home and lying in bed, holding our perfect, little boy, what happened a few hours ago at the cabin feels like a lifetime ago. “I can’t believe he was going to do that to you!” Manfred paces at the bottom of the bed. Seeing all the surgical equipment Daniel had, in preparation to take our child, has really freaked him out. I’m far too tired and overwhelmed with love to let those thoughts back in my head. “We’re okay, now,” I assure him, patting the mattress beside me for him to com
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 35 Runaway
Alessandra Valderrama POVThis had to be one of the happiest days of my life – hands down. Nothing could bring me down today. As the plane touched down on the runway, I took a peek out of the window and grinned so wide it felt like my mouth was going to split my face into two pieces. Just outside of the plane was my first taste of freedom and I couldn’t be more excited. It wasn’t going to be easy, this I knew. I was accustomed to living in the lap of luxury in a house full of servants and guards around the clock. All I needed to do was hit a button and I’d have people at my feet to do my bidding within a few minutes. But it was also a jail, one big, luxurious jail. My new life was going to be different. I’d even insisted that I fly to the Philippines in a regular airplane, in the economy section instead of using my father’s private jet. Despite my father Manfred Valderrama saying he wasn’t going to help me, he’d offered the jet. But I refused. I wanted everything about this experienc
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 36 School Frat And Sorority
Alessandra Valderrama POV After a little searching, I found my dorm building and then my room on the second floor. Thank goodness there was an elevator. I’d given up on the shoes in the registration office and hadn’t bothered to put the torture devices back on, despite the funny looks I was getting from other students as I walked around campus in my bare feet. Opening the door, I stepped inside the dorm room which I was to share with a woman named Editha Wilson. I was kind of hoping that I’d be the first to arrive, but that wasn’t the case. My new roommate was already settled in, lying on her bed and busy with something on her phone. Hearing me enter, Editha lowered the phone and smiled up at me. “Are you Alessandra?” I nodded. “I am, you’re Editha?” “Sure am. I hope you don’t mind I already chose this side of the room.” My eyes swept the room. There was no difference between the sides. Each side had a single bed that was against the wall, desk, and closet. The large window w
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 37 Sorority Assignment
Alessandra Valderrama POV My eyes scanned the club as the four of us entered. This was my big night. My hazing task. I’d already been to the parties and made some friends, and they’d decided I was a good fit. This was the last step to being a part of them. If I passed this, I would officially be their sorority sister. Editha had yet to perform her task. Unlucky me, I was the first of the two of us. The club was the next city over, an hour and a half drive from campus. Apparently, hazing was frowned upon so during events like this, we needed to keep a low profile and that meant keeping away from prying eyes. They didn’t clue me in on what my task would be, I was nervous as fuck about it. For all I knew, they planned on having me strip naked and dance on the speakers. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” My roommate gave me a nudge and an encouraging smile. The other two girls, the head of the sorority, Carla Chan, and the vice president Rebecca Payton, walked ahead scouting out a table as
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 38 My Assignment Named Zandro
Alessandra Valderrama POV Feeling the pressure, now that I was standing before him, I was at a loss for words. Well nothing like just introducing myself, I suppose. Looking him dead in the eye, I caught my lower lip between my teeth seductively as I extended my hand to him. With my three-inch heels on I was nearly as tall as him, just shy of a few inches, making him just over six feet tall. “Hi there, I’m Alessandra.” “I guess that’s our cue to get lost,” One of his friends said, I didn’t know which one, my eyes were firmly in place staring up at the gorgeous man before me. The billiards game was abandoned as his two friends walked away. He accepted my hand, his large, strong hand wrapping around my dainty one. “I’m Zandro.” The feel of his soft, yet strong, hand wrapped around mine sent a shiver of anticipation through me. We stood in silence staring at each other for what felt like an eternity. I didn’t have any game – at all – it was pathetic. In my defense, I’d never p
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 39 I Felt Heaven
Alessandra POV Cocking a brow up at him, I held right to him. “You can keep going all night?” “I guess we’ll see.” Carrying me through the threshold, he took me directly to the queen-sized bed, covered in a black and white checkered duvet. We both went tumbling onto the bed, his body covering mine as his lips came hurtling down onto mine. His kiss was frenzied as he ground his hips against me, the ridge of his dick rubbing against my groin. With each movement, my skirt hitched up until it was bunched around my waist with only the thin lacy material of my panties and the cotton of his pants separating me from what about going to bring me the type of pleasure I’d been longing for. It was crazy and reckless. I knew this, but it was about more than a stupid hazing stunt. This was me finally being able to break free of the restraints I’d been bound in and be the woman I’d grown to be. I was free now to indulge in my sexual urges and take pleasure in a man’s body on mine. I was free to i
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 40 Guilt And Remorse
Alessandra POVWith one forceful thrust up, Zandro groaned loudly, as he pulled my body tight to his and unleashed within me. The force of his cum slammed against the walls of my pussy and the feel of his rigid body tight against mine was my undoing. I screamed out loud, not giving a damn if the neighbors heard me, as every muscle in my body tighten almost painfully then just like that a wave of pleasure rushed over me that left me light-headed and slumped against him as my pussy clenched and then released as I came to his torturous dick. “Oh my God. That was…” I gasped, clinging to him as if my life depended on it. “Incredible,” he supplied, pulling away from me just enough so that his gorgeous blue eyes could look into mine. I smiled down at him and nodded. “Incredible.” We stared into each other’s eyes for what felt like an eternity. “So, what now?” I finally asked with his depleted, yet still surprisingly thick, dick still within me. A mischievous gleam flashed in his eyes be

The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 101 The Fire Of Loving You Forever
Cassandra Valderrama Gallardo POVI never wanted a big wedding. Growing up, I wasn’t the type of girl who dreamed about flowing white dresses, enough flowers to open a florist shop, or exorbitantly expensive multi-tier cakes. I’m perfectly content with what I have—my family in attendance and my man standing proudly at the altar.We’re in a small chapel, tucked away in one of the quieter, more peaceful corners of the city. I’m dressed in the same wedding dress Mom wore when she married Dad, the very same veil on my head. There are no words to describe how honored I am to wear it. I hope one day, I get to pass it on to my own daughter to wear at her wedding, and perhaps even my granddaughter after her. Little things like these, full of sentiment and love, are how traditions are born.Dad and I stand just in front of the main entrance to the chapel. Everyone’s taken their seats, and the music is beginning to swell. I know he had his reservations when I first agreed to marry Thorton, but
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 100 Triplets Pregnancy
Thorton Gallardo POVOne Month LaterSeparately, the Valderrama and Gallardo Mafias are capable of incredible things. They both rule with iron fists and awe-inspiring efficiency. Where the Valderrama commands the respect of their peers, my brothers and I are tenaciously ambitious. Combined—we’re a force to be reckoned with.We’re only a month into our merger, but all of Italy works like a well-oiled machine. With the Valderramas’ connections and my transportation network, we’re virtually unstoppable. I don’t think the criminal underworld has ever seen a more impressive organization. With Leo running the numbers, Samuel enforcing our laws, Roman negotiating our deals, and Damien keeping his ear to the ground for any whispers of dissent, we have the entire city under our thumbs. But right now, the last thing I want to think about is work. Zandra, unfortunately, has other plans.“Remind me to ask Samuel to pay the Southern Administrative District a visit. A couple of businesses haven’t
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 99 I Can't Believe You're Alive!
Zandra Valderrama POVI only have so much time. Before long, my baby bump will begin to show, and then the jig is up. I need to figure out how to break the news to Dad without sending him into full-on cardiac arrest. My decision is final, though, no matter what he or the rest of my family has to say. I’m keeping this baby, and I’m going to protect him or her with every fiber of my being.Do I think Dad might disown me when he learns the truth? Probably not. He’s always been a level-headed guy. I doubt he’d do anything so drastic… But that doesn’t stop me from coming up with a Plan B, C, and D—just in case.I’m just about to pull out my phone to look up some rudimentary information on what mothers should expect when I hear a strange sound coming from outside. The screech of car tires, angry shouting. My heart automatically leaps into my throat and lodges there. Oh, God. Are we under attack? All this excitement and paranoia can’t possibly be good for the baby.My little brother comes ho
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 98 Take Me To Zandra Valderrama
Thorton Gallardo POVHalf of Italy belongs to the Gallardo Mafia.I should be over the moon.I’m anything but.“We’re seeing staggering profits,” Leo tells me from the other side of my desk. One of his detailed spreadsheets is pulled up on his tablet. “We’ve had next to no resistance from the remaining Valderrama in the area. They’ve all but fled to the north of the city. The raid left them scrambled, but I don’t think now is the time to keep pushing. There’s still a heavy police presence in the area.”“Sure,” I mumble. I’m only half listening, partially because I know Leo’s got everything under control, and partially because I can’t bring myself to care. It’s almost cruel how we have everything we want, yet I have nothing I need.“The taxi business practically runs itself at this point,” Leo goes on. “Since Detective Rossi, uh, passed, there’s been no reason for the police to keep sniffing around. He was the only one who could link us to our criminal interests, and it doesn’t look l
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 97 I'm Pregnant
Zandra Valderrama POVI’m bedridden for what feels like an eternity.Aunt Natalya keeps telling me it’s frankly a miracle I survived. Very few can take a bullet through the chest and live to tell the tale. It’s nothing short of divine intervention. But even if I did have the energy to get out of bed, I wouldn’t. A heavy fog clouds my mind, and it has nothing to do with the pain meds I’m on.I can’t stop thinking about Thorton. I can barely even think of his name without pins and needles stinging my eyes. No matter what I do, no matter how much time has passed, I can’t bring myself to accept he’s dead. The lives we lead are dangerous ones. Death and injury is an accepted workplace hazard. I just didn’t think it would actually happen.“Come on, Zandy,” Alessandra whispers at my bedside. There’s a bowl of chicken noodle soup on her lap. It’s all I’ve been able to stomach lately. Everything else makes me feel barfy.“You should eat something,” Mom adds softly. She’s seated on the other si
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 96 Now I Have Nothing
Thorton Gallardo POVIf obsession is a disease, then I’m sick and suffering.My waking thoughts bounce back and forth between Zandra and Rossi, trapping me in a never-ending cycle of cause and effect. I can’t stop thinking about her, about how cold and small she was in my arms as the lights faded from her eyes. My chest tightens at the realization that I’ll never get to kiss her again or speak to her again. Rossi has to pay—he has to.Tracking the man down this time is a whole lot easier. He’s paraded around like a damn war hero, showing up for interviews and public award ceremonies. I lie in wait, watching from the back of the crowd, dressed in an unassuming pair of jeans, a black sweatshirt, and a baseball cap. The hood’s drawn over to obscure my face. A whole line of TV cameras is here, along with nosy reporters and a handful of uniformed cops. I can’t just approach him. I may want vengeance, but I’m not suicidal. This place is too public, too many witnesses. I need to bide my time
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 95 Face-to-Face With Manfred Valderrama
Thorton Gallardo POVPulling up to the Valderrama’s private residence is practically begging for immediate execution, but I have no other options. I need to see Zandra, need to know she’s okay—even if it kills me.The place is swarming with armed guards, all of them training their weapons on us as the car screeches to a halt in front of the house. The moment I jump out, at least four of them barrel toward me. I came fully prepared for the beating of my life, but what happens next is so much worse.“Stand down!” Manfred Valderrama shouts at his men. They do so, snapping to attention as he trudges down the front path, his fists clenched so hard his knuckles are white. I see so much of Zandra in him.And that’s why I don’t react when he winds back and punches me in the jaw. I stumble to the ground, my ear ringing and my face throbbing. I deserved it. I deserve all of it. I will accept it.I see no point in fighting back. Even if I wanted to, Manfred Valderrama is almost three times my ag
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 94 The Man I Loved Is Dead?
Zandra Valderrama POVI awake with a start.There’s a blinding, throbbing pain in my chest, just below my left shoulder. I can’t make sense of my surroundings. Everything’s too loud, too bright. Confusion makes the room spin and fear makes my blood run cold. What just happened? How did I get here?“Easy, Zandy,” Aunt Natalya says as she hooks me up to a blood bag. O-positive, according to the sticker slapped on the front. “It was a high caliber round, so the bullet went right through you. You lost a lot of blood, but you’re lucky it missed all your important organs. Four inches lower and it would have pierced your heart.”Aunt Natalya is speaking perfectly clearly, but I don’t understand a word coming out of her mouth. Is it because of the shock? The pain? Probably both.I groan. “What happened?”“Relax, sweetheart,” Dad says. He’s at my bedside, his brows steepled together in grave concern.My uncles are here. So are Mom Amara, Alessandra, and Jovito. It’s a miracle my room is big en
The Billionaire's Love Game Chapter 93 My Heart In Pain For Zandra
Thorton Gallardo POVI don’t need to be an expert in reading body language to know tensions are running high. This is a public meeting—as is the tradition—hosted in a restaurant that’s been completely booked out.The lighting is dim. Armed men are everywhere. They don’t just belong to the Valderrama, but to the other families I’ve managed to piss off, as well. Why couldn’t we have done this in the back of some dingy room? Because this is a show of good faith, of honor, an unspoken code of conduct. There is nowhere to hide here, no secrets to be kept…which is exactly how I know everyone in this room hates my guts and they’re itching to reach for their guns and show it.Zandra—gorgeous, beautiful, fierce Zandra—sits at the head of the table. Her father and her uncles stand behind her like silent stone sentries. Around the table, the other Mafia heads sit. Some faces are familiar. Others are not. They all have one thing in common, though, and it’s the way they all stare daggers at me and
