The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Fifty-Five - Regrets
When I was done with my bathing, I stepped out of the bathroom, to be met by Roseville's gazing eyes. I shut her a dagger glare, as my eyes caught sight of hers. I hated the sight of it. I hated it that I didn't at least think twice before making her mine. It's really disheartening all the pain and anguish she had made me pass through these few years we've known each other. I really regret ever meeting her in the first place. She isn't really worth it. I just don't want to say it to her face. I'm so surprised how I've been able to put up with all of those, all this while. It seems I've been so loving and lenient with her."Why give me that stare, Ben? Are you still angry with me?" She jested, perhaps in a bid to get me angrier.I ignored and went towards the wardrobe. She cast baleful looks at me. I didn't utter a word."And why aren't you saying anything? Please, talk to me, Ben!" she felt dejected.I focused on what I was doing and didn't give heed to her words, I wasn't ready to a
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Fifty-Six - Recurring Nuisance
I walked into the compound, to be greeted by serenity and calmness in the air. The environs were filled with an aura of gloom and dark bleakness. An inauspicious mystique pervaded the entire air. One could tell that something ominous must have taken place earlier, as everyone looked so somber. I peered searchingly, from face to face, until I rested my eyes on the only familiar face I could find.“Mum!” I called out to her, as soon as I noticed her presence.She moved her gaze around, until they met mine. She gasped. Her eyes were red and swollen, her facial expression, dolorous. She didn't utter a word. I didn't need to be told that she had cried herself out. I walked closer towards where she was seated and sat close to her. I took a deep breath, seizing the opportunity to take a clearer view of the people present. Another face struck me… It was that of that bloody motherfucker! The fucking doctor that claimed to be dad's friend!Why is this nuisance always recurring like a recurring

“What did I do again, please? I'm sorry…” He groaned, his voice fading away slowly.“Don't dare ask me that! You should know better, you fucking fool! You should have known better than being so stupid!” I huffed, landing a harder hit on his chin.“Owww!” He writhed in deep pain.“How much money did you collect from Roseville? How much did she give you? Don't you dare lie to me!” I roared, fiercely angered by his somewhat calm disposition.“I…I…I didn't collect… collect any money from… from her,” he faltered immediately, as my words sent shivers down his spines.“Liar! Here's another one for lying to me,” I said, giving him a third blow on his forehead.“Are you ready to tell me the truth now, or you want some more?” I smirked, directing my clenched fist towards his face“I'm telling you the truth, please believe me,” he lied.“You're a fucking liar! I can never believe you! Never!” l gave him another blow.“Explain this then!” I pulled out my phone from my trouser pocket and played th

“Mum I've found him! Yes, I just found him!” I yelled into the air, like someone who just won a trophy.“You’ve found who? Who were you looking for?” she asked, with a confused expression on her face.“I've found the bloody criminal! I've found the fucking person who killed Dad!”“What?! Who's that? Who did you find? Where's he now?” Mum still had thousands of questions to ask."C'mon mum! A question at a time!" I teased, playfully."Sorry Ben, move on with it, please! I can't wait hear the details!" she was too curious."It's that bloody motherfucker! The fucking doctor that claimed to be dad's friend! He's gone now too!" I disclosed."What?!" She jerked.“Yeah mum, he's the one. I regret not having to record our conversation, so you'll get to hear it from the horse's mouth,” I explained.“Hmm… This is really serious! It can't be true, Ben!” She doubted.“Mum… you mean you don't think trust me anymore? I'm your only son for crying out loud!” I was a bit pissed off.“I trust you, Ben!
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Fifty-Nine - She's Missing
I entered into the house to find an empty house. The quietness in the air was too alarming, feeling me with a bad omen. The only sound I could hear audibly, was the ticking of the clock. I directed my eyes towards it, to find out that it was half past noon already! Three solid hours have passed, since I left home.“Roseville! Where are you? I'm back!” I half yelled, as I couldn't feel the presence of any being in large mansion.Roseville was nowhere to be found. I rushed upstairs, to find out if perchance, she had slept off in the bedroom. I took swift steps, as I walked towards the room, my heart racing.“Roseville! Are you here?” I wawled in expectation, I pushed the door open.To my chagrin, I found an empty room. I was filled with dismay.‘Where could she be? What could be wrong with her? Could she be playing some hide and seek game?’ I pondered, in my mind.I took some time to look around the room. It all looked so weird. I could notice some items that were formerly there were mis

I was discharged from the hospital, a couple of weeks later, after recovering from the injuries I'd sustained from the accident. I was now ready to go after Roseville and get my money and properties back!My BMW got squashed from the accident, so was that of the other victim of the accident. It cost me a fortune to get a new one. Although I had a collection of various expensive brands of cars in my garage, I just needed a replacement for the damaged one. A more expensive one would do, I think.I still didn't relent in my pursuit for Roseville and for everything I've lost. I was determined to fight to the very last of it.I got into my brand new black Rolls-Royce SUV and raced down the streets, with no care in the world. All I cared for was my money and Roseville!Swerving to the brighter path of the city, I drove down the road to Carnaby street, where Roseville claimed she loved with her friend. I moved my car slowly, down the street, as an eerie thought flew into my mind.I hadn't any
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Sixty-One - Humble Family
Some years laterAlice's POV“Dad! You shouldn't have borrowed that much money! Do you think we'll be able to pay off our debts in six months?” I griped angrily at Dad.“That's the best thing to do, Alice. Look, we can't sit and watch our Café go down the drain. We'd have to try our very best to bring it back to life,” my dad, Mr Robert Ferdinand, replied.“But at least, you should have told me about it earlier! You should have…” I was heartbroken.“I'm so sorry Alice. It skipped my memory to tell you about it. Believe me Alice, we'll pay off the debts, as soon as we bounce back,” he cooed, smiling convincingly.“How about mum? Does she know about it? Did she agree to it?” I asked.“Of course, Alice! We both agreed on this. It didn't really occur to me, I should have told you about it earlier,” he apologized.“So, how do they intend to have us pay the debts? What are the terms and conditions?” I inquired, staring intently at Dad.“On a monthly basis, we are expected to pay about a tho

Mum… I had really missed you,” I wrapped my arms around her in a warm embrace, as I welcomed her with cheers.“Oh! You're here, Alice! You didn't tell me you were coming,” she smiled, surprised to see me.“Yeah mum, it was a surprise visit! I didn't need to tell you about it,” I teased.“Oh wow! That's lovely, Alice!” She remarked, beaming with smiles.“So, how've you been, mum?” I asked, concernedly.“Very well, Alice! And you?” she grimaced a smile.“I’m doing pretty well too,” I answered, returning the smile.“Dad told me you went down the neighborhood to see Mrs Winifred, your long time friend,” I disclosed, peering into her face, excitedly.“Yeah, I did. Can I go in now?” She smiled at my insensitivenessI just realized we were still standing by the door.“Oh yeah, that's true,” I shrugged, ushering her in.“I'm so sorry about that, mum. My mind was somewhere else,” I apologized sincerely.“It's fine, Alice. Get your mind back! You're home now,” she teased, giving me a funny stare

The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter One Hundred - Epilogue
Welcoming my first child brought me more joy than I expected. I beamed with smiles as I cuddle him dearly in my arms and reminisce about my past and how serendipity smiled at me. Bernard was now a happy father. I'm so glad and thankful for bringing my child into this world. He was my joy giver and now my joy was complete. The living room was flooded with family and friends, who came around to send greetings and gifts to the new baby. Becky came along with Davis, smiling at each other all the time. I suspected something going on between the two of them, but confirmed my thoughts when I spotted the diamond engagement ring in her finger. “You're engaged?” My popped, as I stared at the beautiful ring in her middle finger. “Of course, I am,” she returned the smile, flaunting her ringed finger in the air. “Wow! Congratulations to you!” I cheered. “Thank you. You too, Alice! You're now a mother,” she replied heartily. “Where’s your fiancé?” I asked, to be sure I wasn't mistaken
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Nine - Pregnancy
The early morning sun rose steadily, shedding its beams across to my weary eyes. I gently opened them up and stretched lazily, yawning tiredly while I turned my head to my side. Bernard wasn't there. 'But where could he be?’ My heart missed a beat. My head spinned and I felt heavy blocks pushing their weight against it. I cleared the sleep off my eyes and stared around the room, expecting I would find him somewhere close by, but I didn't. I became worried. “Ben!” I called out his name but there was still no response. I stood up anxiously and headed into the bathroom to check if perhaps he'd be there, but I still didn't find him. My heart pounded hard in my chest. ‘Where could he be now? What the hell is going on?’ The fear of being abandoned seized me. I stepped out of the room hastily, as though chased by a monster and went to the next room, his study, to search for him. The study was empty and dumb. “Bernard!” My throaty voice pierce into thin air. “Where are you?”
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Eight - Honeymoon
Alice's POV Everything seemed to be happening so fast, but at least so perfectly. I wouldn't have believed it if I was told that I'd get married soon, and to Charles as I previously envisioned, but to my boss. That was the very best day of my life, when we stood there, radiantly breathtaking on the altar and exchanged marital vows. Walking down the aisle with Bernard was the best decision I have ever made and there is no going back. Here I am in our private hotel suite, designed for just the two of us, in the cuddle of his arms, while I reminisce about the activities of yesterday. From the church wedding, to the reception party and then to this very bed we slept, last night, it all replayed in my head. We went wild last night. Our clothes were still sprawled across the floor. I could remember almost vividly how he threw me to the bed and undressed me hungrily, like a prey he was ready to devour. He did so many other things to me, so many that I can't even remember. The only on
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Seven - The Wedding
A month later, The church hall was tastefully decorated to suit the event of the day. Numerous guests from different walks of life sprawled over the place in their festive attires, wearing cheerful faces. The orchestra serenaded the congregation with soft melodious tones from their instruments. Cheerful indistinct chatters were heard around the hall, all set for the arrival of the bride. I waited patiently at the altar, in my custom made black suit and matching trousers, together with Davis, my best man, who was dressed similarly. I beamed with smiles, in anticipation of the bride. The clergyman also stood at the altar, ready to execute the ritual of exchange of marital vows between me and the love of my life. As if propelled by some telepathic instigation, Alice showed up as expected, with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. She was putting on a sparkling white satin dress that was tailored perfect to fit her figure and accentuate her curves. Her skin glowed brightly, as she w
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Six - Engagement Party
Two weeks later. "This has to be perfect for Alice. Are you sure I'm doing it all right?" I asked Davis, pacing around with the ring box with me. He shook his head in approval. "You're going to do just fine Ben, don't bother about it." Davis assured me and I heaved a sigh. “The truth is, I plan on proposing to Alice tonight, I really hope she says yes. I mean she can't possibly say no? Right? We've been together for a couple of months now and Alice has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I love her to bits, and she loves me too, and I think this is the big next, final step for us.” "Hey! Man up! She's here already." Davis said to me and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Do not mess this up, dude!" Davis warned and I nodded sheepishly, nervousness taking over my system immediately. I watched from the corner, as my dear Alice smiled in happiness, in respect of the surprise party thrown in her honour, she radiated in happiness. I'm enthralled with her beauty. There
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Five - Dinner Date
Bernard's POV Would I say I was nervous? Or was it just a regular tingling feeling one has when on a date with a woman one has formerly known? Whatever the case may be, that was exactly how I felt right now. She sat graciously opposite me, beaming with enticing smiles that I couldn't resist. I tried smiling back, but each time I did, I ended up blushing openly. It was a dinner date in my personal suite in the hotel. She was putting on a short red sexy dress, with a lowered neckline, exposing a little of her cleavage and high stiletto heels, that she would easily pass for a lady of the night in. Her red tinted lips and mascara that made her eyelashes more prominent further attested to that. Her skin glowed brightly, even in the dimly lit lounge. We had barely started to enjoy each other's company, when the waiter arrived with the menu. “What would you like us to have for dinner?” I asked her, in anticipation. “Cheese sandwich with some grilled chicken,” she answered. I smiled wi

“Charles!” I yelled on top of my lungs, exasperated at the activity going on in my very presence.Charles was making out with another woman, who moaned so loudly and irritatingly, feeling the entire room with their sounds. Their ripped off clothes sprawled across the floor, giving more details to what was going on.“So, you could do this to me?” I shook my head slowly in regret.Hot tears welled in my eyes while I stared disdainfully at him. My expression saddened at the bitter taste of a painful betrayal. Charles didn't utter a word. He only ignored me and continued with what he was doing, in my presence.“Can you be so shameless? This is all you could think of, huh?” I flared up angrily, watching as the two lovers made love in my presence.Only then did he pause and glare at me, still clutching onto the woman beneath him.“Look Alice, I'm having a great time right now. I'm tired of you. So tired that you've become an obligation to me. I'd appreciate it if you leave,” His words shat
The Billionaire's Mistress Chapter Ninety-Three - Falling For Him
Alice's POVResigning from work wasn't as easy as it sounded. I've always threatened my boss about resigning from his company, to get a job elsewhere, but I never meant it. Who could have sorted my unending bills, if I had had meant it in the real sense? Did he think I was willing to leave so soon?As I heard about his release, after serving his one month jail terms, I assumed it was a perfect opportunity to follow my heart, and not my head. The wrapped paper in the light brown sealed envelope was already seated on his desk, awaiting his approval. I also noticed that I wasn't the only one following this course, others did too. I smiled satisfactorily, thinking about how our boss was going to react. I was unaware that Mr Bernard had other plans until I found him in my office, kneeling down to plead with me to forgive him. That moment was one of the very best since I stepped into his company. I suspected something fishy, but I decided not to show it, granted that he was remorseful.“I

I walked briskly along the hallway and incidentally found Alice coming towards my direction. The devastation on my face transformed suddenly to a smile, as my eyes met hers. She seemed to have just walked out of her office. She stopped in her tracks as soon as she noticed I was coming. “You need to sign a document urgently,” Alice said, looking at me with a straight face. I stared at her intently as though finding it difficult to fathom the meaning of the message. My mind wasn't really interested in what she said, but her. “What document are you talking about?” I asked for clarity, as though I had an idea what she was talking about. “The Simpsons, they asked for your approval on an upcoming project,” she replied, leading the way back to her office. I followed her from behind, secretly admiring her well-rounded ass as she walked. A playful smirk played on my lips. We got into her office and she handed me the papers, still standing close to her desk. I sat down next to her an
