The Billionaire's Proposal Chapter 49
Anne was immediately stuck to her chair when she saw the lady who was approaching her and was walking with so much confidence. She was dumbfounded as she looked at her.The woman was tall and elegant, with long, flowing hair that cascaded down her back in waves of deep brown. Her eyes glittered like emeralds, and her smile could light up the entire room. She wore a black gown, with silver heels which she walked graciously in. Her fingernails and toenails were neatly painted and polished with white nail polish and this complemented her whole dress.As the woman approached her, Anne couldn't help but feel a pang of nervousness. She had never seen someone so effortlessly beautiful and confident before."Anne Jones, right?" She asked, confirming that she was talking to the right person."Yes, ma'am," Anne responded.Anne nervously fidgeted with her resume as she spoke to the gorgeous lady. She couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by everything and everyone around her. The environment

Rose had gone to treat her wounds earlier but instead of going back to the house, she decided to stay until Sonia was awake before going back. She met Daisy in the waiting room and greeted her. Rose began to pace back and forth in the hospital waiting room, her heart pounding in her chest. She had never felt so helpless before. She wished she had been able to save Sonia from the attack of the intruder but both of them didn't see it coming and we're both helpless. They could never have imagined that the young man could have had a hidden weapon with him."You should go home to rest if you can't stop pacing. You are disturbing me with all that back and forth, I'm trying to think here." Daisy said to her, staring at the wall with her leg crossed over the other. She couldn't believe that someone had managed to get past her security and harm someone in her house."I'm fine, ma'am, I can rest later, but I would like to wait till Miss Sonia is awake." Rose replied."Okay, no problem then." D

"How is this possible? How can this be happening at this moment? This is someone I have not seen in so many years. How can he be here right now?" Anne began to ask herself, while also looking confused."Maybe it's just a mistake, maybe he is just related to the CEO. Yes! That's what it will possibly be." Anne thought to herself, staring blankly at the wall beside her.Anne found it hard to believe the young man before her in the CEO's seat was that same Jake she knew long before that day. She found it hard to believe that he could be the CEO of ZAS HOLDINGS. She just could not imagine.Bringing her out of her misery, Jake cleared his throat loudly, calling her attention to him immediately. She hastily composed herself.Finally getting her attention, they began to speak in hushed tones, trying to deliberate, leaving Anne confused.She could have sworn right there and then that she would never get the job because all hopes of getting that job flew out the window the moment Jake walked i

"Is anything the matter, sir?" Anne asked him, after turning to look at him.He paused for a while before he responded to her."Not exactly. You just need to sign some documents before you leave. You can't just leave like that when you are going to start work tomorrow morning.""What documents?" Anne asked."Just some documents of agreement. Also, you need to fill in your payment information in one of those documents." He explained further.Anne looked confused as he spoke because she was not sure what he meant by all that he was saying. She had never gotten such an official job before in her entire life, so she didn't know what he meant."I'm sorry, Sir. What do you mean by my payment information?" Anne asked, confused.The man looked at her speechless. He turned to the others and they were speechless as well."Have you ever had a job before?" He asked her."I have." She responded."So, how come you do not know what I mean by your payment information?" He inquired."Honestly, I have

I had taken my bath immediately after my discussion with Kelvin in the morning. I began to look for suitable clothes to wear, but to my frustration, I could not find any."Gosh! What do I wear now?" I asked myself as I stumped my feet on the ground in frustration. It was now almost the time I and Kelvin agreed upon to leave the house.I quickly picked up my jean trousers and t-shirt and put them on. I also had my long hair tied into a neat bun and wore one of my few sneakers. I accessed myself in the mirror and I was satisfied with my look."I guess this should do." I had said out loud as I looked at myself in the mirror once again.Although my parents were a bit rich, their wealth was nothing compared to the Zaveris- it could not come anywhere close. They wore good clothes but they didn't care much about what I wore or even if I had anything to wear. All they were after was themselves and themselves alone, which was the reason why i never went with them to important functions and ce

Anne was on her knees, her hands were tied to her back with a zip tie, and she was blindfolded, so she had no idea of who kidnapped her or who was yelling at her."Please, if I offended you in any way. I'm so sorry, please forgive me." She pleaded."I said keep your damn mouth shut!" The voice shouted, throwing something against the wall, which made a loud clanging sound.Anne immediately kept quiet and stopped talking, but she kept sobbing quietly."How can this happen to me on the day I got my dream job." She thought to herself as she wept."I thought my suffering was finally going to come to an end. Oh no! Who did I offend?" She thought again.She was still thinking about what would become of her body if she was killed right there, when she heard some footsteps approaching from afar."Where is she?" A familiar voice asked."Right there, sir." Another voice, which seemed like his minion, responded."Has she said anything about the agreement?" The familiar voice asked."No sir. I hav

As we stepped out of the car and began to walk into the house, the other guards saw us, and they immediately rushed to help out with everything Kelvin was helping me carry. "Welcome ma'am." They all said in unison."Thank you very much." I responded, with a smile.They led the way and I followed closely behind, but as we were about to step into the living room, I spotted Sorin in the living room and my heart skipped a beat.He stood with his back turned to us, his broad shoulders standing out and well-carved out in his clothes. He wore a knitted woolen peach round neck long-sleeves and black free trousers."Good day, sir. " They all chorused and bowed their heads.He suddenly turned around and began to stare at me. As he kept staring at me, the smile that was previously on my face immediately disappeared. "Good day." He responded to their greetings and they all left, except Kelvin who waited behind."Hi." I awkwardly uttered.He didn't respond and I didn't bother to say anything els

"What is it? What did you just find out?" Sorin asked, impatiently, hoping to get immediate answers."So from the investigations so far, we have found out that there is a connection between the two incidents, sir." Kelvin explained."What!?" Sorin exclaimed. "You mean both incidents were planned by the same person?""Yes, that is exactly what we just found out," Kelvin said in agreement. "But that is not all." He added."Really? What else is there to know?" Sorin asked."We have reasons to believe that what happened to you at the hospital was also not just a coincidence. It seemed like it was intentional. But we are not sure who did it." Kelvin explained."I think you should be more careful now. Some sets of people are definitely after your life. You can't trust anyone now," Kelvin advised."Are you trying to say Daisy tried to kill me?" Sorin asked, taken aback as he stood up from his chair."Not exactly, but the possibility is high, sir." Kelvin replied."No way! I won't take that.

“I’m so sorry.” Anne quickly apologized with a bow.And without waiting to see who it was, off she went again, running with a sense of urgency. As she got to the road, she raised her hand, hurriedly hailing a taxi.Just as the taxi stopped and she was about to get into it, Jake's car arrived, stopping a few metres away from them. And as soon as he saw her, he immediately noticed that she looked distraught.“Isn't that Anne?” He asked Terry, who also tried to confirm if it was truly her.“It appears so, sir.” Terry replied, and Jake frowned.“It appears so? Or she is the one? Which is it?” Jake asked, visibly upset by Terry's choice of words.“I'm sorry, sir. She is the one.” Terry apologized, correcting himself.“Where could she be going in such a hurry?” He asked, out loud.“I have no idea, sir. Do you want me to find out?” Terry asked him.“Yes, find out.” Jake answered sharply.Just as Terry took out his phone to make a call, Anne's taxi began to leave.“You know what? Forget it. F

Sorin leaned his back against the door, his head resting on the cool wood of the door, wearily. The sound of my muffled sobs as I cried my heart out, seeped through the door, a haunting reminder of the pain he had just caused me. He closed his eyes as the weight of his decision crushed him. Guilt tore through his heart, as he kept wondering if he had done the right thing.“So you think you just did the right thing?” Kelvin's voice snapped him back to normalcy.He had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Kelvin approaching him.Seeing Kelvin standing right in front of him, he cleared his throat and remained silent right after.“You're not saying anything, Sorin.” Kelvin stated, waiting for a response from him. “I hope you're happy now.” He said, his tone laced with criticism.Knowing that Kelvin was about to begin to lecture him about what he had just done, Sorin immediately turned around, and headed towards the bedroom. Kelvin refused to back down. “Really? You're just g

FIVE MONTHS LATER “Sign it…” Sorin tossed a bunch of documents towards me.“What is it?” I asked, picking up the documents from the table, but I didn't get a response.As I began to read the contents of the documents, I couldn't believe my eyes. I stared shockingly at the documents in my trembling hands, as Sorin's voice re-echoed in my ears, in the silence of his study.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It felt like I was having a very bad dream. A dream I wanted to wake up from so badly.He had told me to come to his study that morning because we needed to talk about some important things. I had been so excited, thinking we were finally making some progress in maybe fixing our rocky marriage, but never did I imagine that I would be staring at such heartbreaking papers.“These are divorce papers.” I said, hoping that it was a mistake or some stunt he was trying to pull.“Yes, I know. I have signed my own part of it. You should sign yours.” He answered sharply, his eyes fixated o

“Anne?” I managed to mutter as soon as I found my voice.“Is… is this really you?” I stuttered, not sure if I was seeing the right person.Actually only Anne could have recognized me with all my disguise as she was one of the very few people who called me “Drea”.“Yes, it's me. Oh my goodness, I can't believe this.” She responded happily, her eyes welling up with tears.Before I could even say anything, she rushed towards me, and we collapsed into a tearful hug, the emotions of our reunion overwhelming us both.“I'm so speechless right now. I don't even know what to say. I don’t know how to react. I came here to get something for the house.” I said, pulling down my hoodie.“Me too…” Anne replied, wiping her tears. “I needed to get some things urgently, that was why I came here. I never would have imagined that I would meet you here.”Apparently, she had also come to get new glassware products for her kitchen to replace the ones that broke the previous night. The song I was humming was

"A plan?” Kelvin asked, surprised.“Yes. I'll go incognito,” I said, a sly grin spreading across my face. “No one will even recognize me.”“Are you sure that will work?” He questioned, with an unsure look on his face.“Of course. Just make sure you don't follow me around so that it won't raise suspicions.” I said again. “You should dress the part too. If anyone identifies you, they'll surely know that something is fishy.”He sighed again. “No problem. I understand, ma'am.”“Thank you, Kelvin. I'll be down shortly.” I said and rushed upstairs to get prepared to leave for the hospital.I hurriedly took my bath and quickly got dressed, throwing on a pair of jean trousers, sneakers, and a black hooded sweatshirt. The large hoodie was the perfect addition to my disguise, and I deliberately chose it to help me blend in with the crowd and keep a low profile.We left the house and finally arrived at the hospital and of course, I didn't have to stand in line. I was attended to immediately.“S

The next morning I slowly opened my eyes to the warm brightness of morning light shining in through the window. The melodic chirping of birds outside filled the air, and I stretched, yawning loudly. But as my jaw cracked open wide, I remembered that I wasn't alone in the room. I quickly slapped my hand over my mouth, because I knew how much Sorin hated disturbances, and I had no intention of testing his patience.I immediately turned to his side of the bed to see his reaction, but to my surprise, he was nowhere in sight.“Where could he have gone?” I thought to myself.I wasn't sure if he had headed to the office or he was in his study, because it was one of those types of days where he would decide to stay in his study throughout the day.“Sorin?” I called out to him, hoping to get a response, even though I knew it was highly unlikely.As expected, I got no response and I wasn't too surprised. I got up and headed to the bathroom. The door was wide open and so, I knew he definitely wa

I heard Sorin's footsteps rushing out of the room, and heading towards me. I knew he must have heard the noise.Getting to where I was, and seeing that it was one of his favorite picture frames I had broken, he couldn't believe his eyes. “What the hell is this?” He yelled at me. “What exactly is wrong with you? Why are you such a clumsy girl? Why can't you just do anything right without causing chaos?”“I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.” I immediately apologized.“That's what you always say. Yet you’ll do the same thing tomorrow.” He hissed in frustration.“I'm sorry…” I said again and crouched to the ground once again. “And what the hell do you think you're doing?” He asked, his eyebrows furrowed.“I want to clean it up right away.” I answered, trying to pick the broken pieces.My eyes remained fixed on him as I spoke to him to the point where I forgot what I was doing. And before he could warn me, I felt a sharp pain shoot through my already injured fingers.“Ouch!” I yelped, instin

Taken aback, I instantly stepped back. Tongue tied and speechless, I stood there staring at him in confusion.“Have you suddenly gone deaf?” He yelled at me again. “I just asked you a question. What the hell do you think you're doing, hugging me like that? Since when did we get so affectionate? Huh?”I was completely confused and for a moment, I didn't understand what was going on. This was someone with whom we had a very beautiful time hours before, but it seemed like he had become someone else in just a matter of hours. Like he had become a completely different person.Finally able to find my voice, I began to speak, “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I thought we were already getting along. I thought that we—”“You thought wrong!” He barked, and I shook with fear.“Or wait, let me get this straight. Is it because we went out together and the whole world now knows that you're a “WIFE” to me?” He stressed the word “wife” in such an uncomfortable manner, and I could see the irr

Sorin pulled up at the parking lot of one of the Cole’s detached mansions in a private estate. Daisy had sent him the details of her whereabouts earlier and asked him to meet with her there. Despite the fact that it was many miles away from the city, he still drove all the way down to meet her.He turned off the ignition, took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.“Welcome sir,” He was greeted by one of Daisy's guards.Sorin nodded in acknowledgement, and asked, “Where is she?”“She is inside. She is waiting for you in the living room.“Thank you.” He responded, and walked in briskly.Staring outside through the gigantic glass door, holding a cup of wine in her right hand, and folding her left hand against her chest, was Daisy.The moment she sensed Sorin's presence, she scoffed.“You said you wanted to see me and that it was urgent. What's up?” Sorin said, standing metres away from her.She remained in that same spot, saying nothing, making the both of them remain in an awkward s
