The Billionaire's Mistake 124
Ken’s POV Life is nothing more than a repetitive routine. You wake up, you eat, you work, you go on with your day, you sleep, then you repeat. I glanced in the mirror to check the scar on my back. It still hurts from time to time, but I know it’s fully healed. I picked up my shirt and covered my body with it. I went outside my house. I’m going to Yael’s house, cooking for her and her son. I promised Yohan yesterday that I would cook his favorite omelet if he got perfect scores on his math test, and he did. What a smart kid. I also have to help Yael in the house for now. Yael is constantly ill, and her constitution tells how much she needs care and attention. I don’t really understand how her husband could leave her with that lovely son. Yohan is just five. He should be around his father, but not only was he deprived of living a normal family life, he never even met his dad. Yael told me that her husband left them when she was giving birth to Yohan. He just broke up with her out

Nathalie's POV I woke up with a heavy head. My body feels burning, but still within, which I can tolerate. I felt a hand on my forehead. I forced my eyes to open and saw a man looking at me. His deep obsidian eyes looked fuzzy as they stared at me. "Cohen?" "You have a slight fever. Rest, for now, I have informed Brian about your condition though he would be a little late since he was dealing with Johannes," he explained. Dealing with Johannes? Why? Did they finally talk with each other? If that is so, then that's great news!— "I heard Yael, the woman who was with Johannes, was brought to the hospital last night. Johannes reached out for help financially. I think it was a little serious matter," Cohen continued. Yael... I thought she was pale when we first met. So Yael is ill. Lucky her... Johannes gets to take care of her. Damn it. I felt like vomiting, but I could not bring myself to puke. All these uneasy feelings seemed rooted in my rollercoaster emotions right now. I don't

"Don't come near Yael's room. What are you even doing here?" Ken's brows were furrowed. He could already imagine the chaos it would bring if Nathalie caught a fever. She's pregnant, and she needs more attention. Ken thought it would be better if Nathalie would stay away from Yael and people who are a possible cause of illness. 'It would be safer if she's at home,' Ken thought. He furrowed his brows when Nathalie's expression changed. Nathalie then smiled at him, making Ken feel even more confused since her eyes were not included in the serenity. It was sad... as if a slow storm was threatening to come. "I am not here to bother you and Yael," Nathalie then told Ken. 'What? That was not what I meant!' Ken protested in his head, finding the right words to say so Nathalie would understand him well without putting words in his mouth. "That—" but his effort was put to a halt. Nathalie was looking at him with such sad eyes as if what she had heard from Ken broke her heart. Ken wanted to

"Nathalie?" Cohen went inside the room when there was no one to answer his call. He had been calling Nathalie five times, but she seemed to be either sleeping or indulging in something. Cohen furrowed his brows when he saw Nathalie on the bed, wincing in pain. "Nathalie!" Cohen does not know where to touch her. Nathalie was just groaning in pain as she curled on the bed. She was sweating so bad, biting her lips so as to not let any voice out. Cohen slicked his tongue, "Excuse me," he lifted Nathalie and went out. "Caleb! The car!" Caleb went out of the room when Cohen shouted. He saw Nathalie and immediately followed what his brother told him. "What's happening?" he asked when they settled Nathalie at the back of the car. Cohen shook his head. He was also confused. Nathalie was just discharged last night, and here they are, rushing her to the hospital again. "She's stressed," the doctor told Cohen. "Ms. Taylor is also experiencing Sciatica," he added. Cohen watched Nathalie, who wa

Nathalie visited the orphanage again when she felt well. She brought a lot of toys and food that she bought from the market. The kids were happy to see her, chanting the fairy song they had made to dedicate it to her. Nathalie was looking around, and Olivia noticed that she was looking for something, “Are you looking for something, Nathalie?” “Oh, ahm... I... I was just wondering where Yael and Johannes—I mean Ken are,” she shyly replied. She had heard from the nurse that Yael had been discharged, so she assumed that the woman was already feeling better. Nathalie thought they would be here since it seemed like Johannes liked being around the children, but afternoon came, and there was no shadow of him, Yael, or her son. “Yael? Oh dear, you haven’t heard the news yet? She was brought to the city to have medications, her illness relapsed, and she needed better treatment,” Olivia told her. Nathalie was shocked. She could not utter a reply and just forced herself to smile. Nathalie we

"A party?" Ken just reached home after visiting Yael in the hospital. He did not want to leave her, but his family insisted that he stays at home. Yohan was with a nanny since he wanted to stay beside his mother. Johannes stared at his parents with a confused expression, "What party? Do I have to participate in one?" he asked again, removing his coat. It was snowing outside. The first snow was last night, and the whole city was covered in white the following day. Joaquin and Beatrice smiled at Johannes, "This is to celebrate your return, son," Joaquin said. Ken furrowed his brows and sat on the couch. He stretched his neck. When he opened his eyes, he looked at his parents and shook his head. "I hate parties." "You don't even remember that," Clinton, who came from the entrance, interrupted his cousin's refusal. Clinton gave Beatrice a box of a new set of tea from China. The woman smiled at him and then turned to her son again. "Clinton is right, Johannes," "Ken. I told you to call

Cohen’s POV It felt strange waking up on a soft mattress. It had been a long since I last slept in one. I don’t know why it feels empty though this room is not even that big, to begin with. It’s cold, really. Winter is knocking on the corner of this house. I stood up after lazily staring at my ceiling for hours, trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with me today. It should be another day when I should visit the eatery and cook for them, but for some reason, I picked up my phone and told them I’d have to take a leave for today. When I went to the kitchen, Caleb was already there, cooking breakfast. He glanced at me and smirked, “Fancy seeing you wake up late,” I ignored him and went to make my coffee. He seemed to be in the mood today that he irritated me this early. “Where’s mom?” I sat on the edge of the table as I looked at him over my cup of coffee. Caleb turned around and shrugged his shoulders. I furrowed my brows with that. “You don’t know?” “No, I mean, she asked me

Cohen’s POV I could swear I never intended to attend this fucking party. There were a lot of familiar faces though I am sure that they didn’t know who I was. Sebastian is doing his thing of introducing me to everyone he knows, which is practically everyone at this event. “Sebastian,” “Hmm? Wait. Mr. Alfredo! Hey! Long time no see. How is it going with the firm?” he chatted with yet another man in a suit. Sebastian seems friendlier than the last time I saw him. I distanced myself a little since it would be a nuisance if he asked me to talk to his acquaintances. I sat by the bar, and the bartender gave me a tequila. I smirked and greeted him with proud eyes. He dares challenge me? Well, I have a pretty high tolerance when it comes to these types of drinks. I was enjoying myself when the host announced that the party was about to start. I could vomit at the sight of the host of this event. What the hell? Is this party about them? Sebastian, you idiot. I should not have mentioned Nath

The Billionaire's Mistake END
“Where are we going, Dad?” Julian asked his father while still yawning. He had just woken up from his afternoon nap when his father picked him up from his grandparent’s mansion. Julian Nathaniel Alejandro, Johannes felt proud while staring at his son’s ocean-blue eyes. “We’re going to the cemetery,” “Is Mom there?” Johannes looked at him with sad eyes and smiled, “Yes, Julian. We’re going to see Mom there,” Johannes fixed his son’s seatbelt and started the car’s engine. It had been seven years since Nathalie birthed Julian. He’s a big boy now who hates it when Johannes kisses him on the cheek. He used to giggle when his father did it, but now that he turned seven, he would glare at Johannes whenever he did that, especially when they were in a public place. Julian looked like Johannes, but his eyes took after Nathalie. Those deep blues of ocean that always enchanted Johannes. He could not help but stare at them whenever he had the chance. “Are we going to visit Abuelo too?” the

“Uncle Ken,” Yohan sat beside him. Johannes was still staring at the door where the woman had left. The harsh sound of the rain was worrying him. ‘Nathalie hates the rain,’ he thought to himself. He furrowed his brows and realized that the fact that the woman hated the rain popped up out of his head out of nowhere. Was it a memory? Did he remember that from the past? “Uncle Ken?” Yohan called him again since Johannes did not respond the first time. Johannes then looked at him and messed up his hair. “Come here, bud,” Yohan sat on Johannes’s lap and lowered his face. Yohan rubbed his hands against each other and then looked at Johannes with teary eyes. “Did Mama make a mistake to Uncle Ken?” he asked, crying now. “Yohan is the bad boy because I lied,” “What?” Johannes asked, furrowing his brows now since he could not understand him all too well. Yohan jumped from his seat and took something from his pocket. “Yohan was mad when he learned that you were getting married. I thought

One week had passed since Nathalie and Johannes had a check-up. Nathalie is fine now, but the latter seemed different. Johannes stared at her sleeping figure. He had been doing this for almost a week now. After what he witnessed last time, Johannes always found himself inside her bedroom. Staying beside her while Nathalie cries in her sleep. Johannes could not understand what it was that pulled him to the woman he had lost memories of. Should he open himself for her, or should he cut every string connected to her? Johannes could not decide. "Nathalie... Nathalie Taylor," he muttered *** The chairman handed over the folder to General Smith. He’s a companion he had when he was just starting out, thus, confirming the trust between them. “We had been trying to figure out these cases before... I can’t believe such a young woman could do all these evil things,” “She’s crazy, Smith,” “Are you sure you want to hand it over to us?” General Smith asked the chairman. Miraflores Alej

"You're here again," Yael tried to get up but gave up when she felt an exhausting pain inside her stomach. It was so painful that her eyes teared up. Johannes panicked and ran to her. Worrying, he told Yael, "This is why I always come here. I told you you don't have to get up when I come here. How could you be so stubborn!?" He shouted to the poor woman. Yarl stared at his enraged face and then averted her gaze, "I told you you don't have to come here... you... you found your home, Johannes," "Ken. You gave me that name. Use that," "Johannes—" "Are you really trying to make me mad? Johannes here, Johannes that! I fucking cannot remember anything related to that name, so damn it, just treat me as that penniless Ken before!" Johannes frustratedly told her. Yael had realized her mistake. She stared into his eyes and tried to read his confused emotion. Yael had met Johannes when he was still in the hospital. She assisted Johannes back then, and he had felt indebted to her kindness.

Nathalie’s POV I was about to get inside the mansion when I saw a familiar figure, but I doubt it was him. It would be impossible to see him out of his cave. “Nathalie Taylor!” I turned around and saw Harries waving at me. It had been so long since we last saw each other. She even nagged me because I was behaving unlike myself these past few months. “Harries!” I hugged her, and she kissed me on the cheek. Harries still treats me like a child, really. I motioned her to sit on the chair and asked a waiter to serve us food. “How was your trip?” “Terrible,” I furrowed my brows; this woman loves traveling like how she loves medicine. To hear her condemn her last trio like this, something must have had occurred. She rolled her eyes when a man greeted her with a kiss. Now I get it. Harries must have felt upset with her husband, Loki. He’s a businessman like Johannes though he majored in the medicine industry, the reason why he eventually met my best friend through the same acquaintanc
