The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 13 - Deal…
-Vincent-“Is your proposal still open?” She asked and the sound of desperation filled her voice. “Come in,” I said as I stepped aside for her to enter.She walked in but stayed just by the door as she crumpled and uncrumpled her hands as if she was not sure if she was doing the right thing or not. “Are you okay?” I asked, trying to check if she would change her mind or not. “Yes,” she whispered. I closed the door and led her to the living room.“Are you just going to stand there or are you telling me the purpose of this visit?”I watch her scurry towards the couch opposite mine and I can tell with the way her body moves that she’s here not because she wanted to but because she had no choice and I can’t say I am not disappointed by it. “Is your proposal still open?” She asked once again but the way she said it this time made me realize that whatever uncertainty she was battling earlier had now disappeared. “Yes,” I replied and I heard a sigh of relief. “Okay,” She said as she co

-Eve-I was a nervous wreck as I got home. I didn’t expect that Vincent would agree with everything, but he did. He fucking did. I replayed what had happened just an hour ago over and over to see if there was something that I had missed. “So,” I said as I looked at him with a smile, “What do we do now, babe?”I watched as his lips quirked up in a smile as he said, “Aren’t we in a rush, babe.” “I guess, I just want to make sure that things go smoothly,” I answered honestly. “Oh, don’t worry about a thing, because it would,” he replied teasing me once again. “For tonight, go home and rest because you will be very busy starting tomorrow.”“Busy?” I asked in confusion. Not sure if he would give me so many tasks as his executive assistant. “Yup,” he said as he stood from his seat. “Don’t come to work tomorrow. Carl will pick you up at ten in the morning.” I took that as a queue to leave. He led me to the door where one of his cars and Carl was waiting outside for me. Carl opened the

-Eve-My deal with Vincent felt so easy. Well, it is easy.All I have to do is play the role that Vincent asked me to and that’s it. But why does a part of me feel uneasy about it? That’s the power of money. It makes you do things out of the ordinary and justify your action with something like, ‘I have no choice but to do it.’ So even though I felt uneasy, I pushed it back and repeated the same mantra I had been repeating all my life, ‘It’s okay, I have no other choice.’Still, I don’t really have the choice to be choosy right now, especially since Vincent has already made a payment. “Where are we going?” I asked as I noticed that Carl didn’t go in the direction of Vincent’s office. “Creating your life,” Vincent replied.“What do you mean by that?” I asked in confusion. “I need my grandmother to think that you’re my prospect for marriage. To ensure that, I need to make sure that you would be able to fit the checklist she has.”“It’s not part of our agreement,” I blurted and he smil

-Eve-It took some time before the bookshop was done. And things had been pretty hectic since then. Vincent enrolled me in several classes that he thought would help me in performing my role well. Aside from my classes, Vincent and I continuously practice how to interact with each other to make sure that we won’t look awkward in front of everyone.It’s been weeks since the last time I saw him. He told me to finish what I needed to finish before our show officially began. He also told me to start letting my grandmother know that I have a new boyfriend because he doesn’t want to surprise her.I also went ahead and made sure that there weren’t any loose ends and no one would bother me and my grandmother again. So I went to the office after I got the money from Vincent to pay for the title of our house only to find out that the police had raided the office and returned all the titles to their respective owners.A part of me wanted to ask Vincent if he has something to do with it, but don’t

-Vincent-Finally, the day that I had been preparing for has arrived. “Your grandmother called, sir,” Carl said pulling me back to the present. “What does she want now?” I asked with a sigh. Since I had slipped about having a girlfriend to stop her from setting me up with blind dates, she never stopped asking me to meet Evelyn. Leading me to make the first mistake I had ever made in my entire life. “We are having our annual charity ball this year,” she said yesterday morning. “I am expecting your girlfriend to be there or I’ll start setting you up for blind dates again.”I hate to admit that I forgot about the charity ball. Which left me with no choice. If my grandmother wants to know Evelyn, then she will know who Evelyn is. But on my own terms. “You’re grandmother wanted you to know that if you didn’t bring your so-called girlfriend, she will start matching you on the event tonight. And if you decide to bail, she will strip your title as CEO of Dreamweaver for fun,” Carl recit

-Eve-I have never been invited to an event with more than ten participants.And as much as I hate going to big events I really have no choice about this since it’s part of my agreement with Vincent. “We’re here, Ms. Anderson,” Carl announced as he stopped by the entrance and ran out to open the door for me. As I got out of the car I realized where we were, it was one of the famous hotels in the city. Carl led me inside and I followed him. He stopped in front of a double-door room with two men guarding the entrance. “She is Mr. Beckett’s girlfriend,” Carl explained to the two guards. “The program just started,” one of the guards explained as they looked at me, making me feel unwelcome.“I don’t think you would want to know what would happen once Mr. Beckett finds out that you didn’t let his girlfriend enter the premises.”I wanted to pull Carl away and tell him to just tell Vincent that we’re here and that I’ll just wait outside until the program ends. But the look that Carl has o

-Vincent-If there was one thing Evelyn was very good at, it was studying.She is so good but still, I will always be better.I watched her interact with my friends and I can’t help but be proud of what she had become. One look at Emmet and Garrett I already know that they want to get a piece of her. Who wouldn’t when she looked so beautiful in the silver silk gown that she was wearing? I watched the way the two of them looked at her and for the first time, I felt the urge to let them know that no one touches her but me. I placed my arm behind her chair and intentionally moved her closer to me. Tony watched me silently but never said a word. One of the many things that I like about him.“I have eyes Vincent and one thing I can’t deny is that she is indeed good-looking,” Garrett said as he loosened the tie that he was wearing. A gesture I know so well. “Oh I know,” I replied, “I just want you to remember that she’s mine.”Both Emmet and Garrett looked at me. I know that my reply surp

-Eve-I waited until we were inside Vincent’s car, trying my best not to let my knees buckle underneath me as I tried to comprehend exactly what had just happened. “What the hell?” I said screaming, surprising not only Vincent but also Carl who was now in the driver's seat. “Why did you do that?” I asked in a calmer voice this time.“I never knew my grandmother would stoop that low,” Vincent admitted. “Why don’t you just go back inside and ask for an apology?” I asked. I would really hate it if one of the richest women in the world hates me so much. “No!” Vincent snapped, his face unreadable. “Just do what you were paid to do.” I was about to retort something rude back at him but decided that this was not the right time. “Where to, Mr. Beckett?” Carl asked. “Let’s take Miss Anderson home first,” Vincent said. The drive home was uncomfortably silent. But none of us said anything. When we reached my house, Vincent was the one who opened the door for me and helped me out. I was

-Vincent-“What do you mean, Uncle?” I asked my grandmother, I know I had one. But I never knew he was alive. My grandmother rarely talks about him and when she does, she makes it sound like he no longer exists. “He’s your father’s brother. I kept him as far away as I could so he wouldn’t cause any problems. But I guess, he found someone who could give him the access to come back.”I know that there was no use pointing fingers or finding out why I didn’t know that the said Uncle existed until now. All that matters now is finding where Evelyn was. Time is of the essence, afraid of what might happen if we don’t get there on time. “I know where she is,” Tony said interrupting my dangerous thought. “It was a good thing they didn’t remove her bracelet. “Where is she,” my grandmother and I said at the same time. Tony showed us the red dot on his laptop that kept on blinking. I was not familiar with the area but it seemed as though my grandmother knew where it was exactly. “Stay here,”
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 81 - Uncle
-Vincent-A lot of things could change in just one second. And I believe that’s where the saying, “Live your life to the fullest” came from. It was a reminder that nothing was permanent and everything that you have now could be gone by the next. Evelyn was just right there in my passenger seat a while ago. I don’t believe that I was gone for a long time. But here I am staring at her empty seat.I froze, unable to comprehend what exactly happened. Alyana and Brie stood beside me, telling me that everything would be okay, while Tony got to work. After seeing my dashcam recording, Tony decided that this was not something he could handle alone and called for backup. As we sat for more than ten minutes in this uninviting lobby, I began to feel unsettled. “How long do we have to wait?” I asked for the tenth time since the secretary led us into this conference room. “For as long as it takes to figure out exactly who kidnapped your girlfriend. The reason why they did it, and to find out
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 80 - The Uncle
-Eve-Things happened so fast that I didn’t have the chance to be scared or react. A black van came by the moment I was out of the car. Several men in black masks came out and pushed me inside the van and all of them were armed. Once inside one of them covered my head with a black cloth back, another tying my hands together, while another tied my feet. I didn’t have the chance to scream, nor did I have any chance to analyze or fight back. I was powerless. All I remember was that the man I thought was an old homeless guy was not homeless. I was surrounded by blackness. No one was talking, no one gave me a hint of what was happening or where they were taking me. I don’t even know any reason why would someone do this to me. First, I don’t have any money if they think that kidnapping me would make them reach. Second, I don’t remember doing anything bad to other people who could hate me so much that they resorted to kidnapping me. Third, I don’t remember having any enemies. Well, exc

-Eve-Brie and Alyana stayed with me making my grandmother happy and at ease that I was okay and I had people other than her to rely on. She was so happy that she cooked like there was an occasion and we ended up with a lot of food. To make sure that nothing goes to waste, Brie packed some of the dishes, with my grandmother’s approval, and gave them to Tony and her security. I was glad to know that she didn’t see Vincent when she and Alyana delivered the dishes.A lot of things had happened in just a span of twenty-four hours with me and Ems, whom I found out was actually Emmet’s sister, in the hospital. I don’t really know what exactly happened and no one is telling me anything at all. Vincent said that it was for my own health and what the doctor had advised. They said that I had a special kind of amnesia that was caused by a trauma. The doctor advised that this was just temporary and everything would all come back to me. Vincent had been very supportive and very patient about i
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 78 - Moving On…
-Vincent-I left Emmet and Garrett in the room that Ems was staying in and returned to where Evelyn was. I found her listening to whatever Brie was saying. I decided to take the couch in silence and let her enjoy her friend's company. It was a good thing that her grandmother had already met me and knew who I was she didn’t panic when I told her that Evelyn was rushed to the hospital and would be discharged later.She asked how Evelyn was, I didn’t really want to lie nor did I want her to worry so I told her that she was fine and was with Brie and Alyana. We didn’t really talk for too long, but she made me promise that I bring her home. “Vincent,” I heard Evelyn calling me just right before I could even take a seat. When I looked in their direction, the three girls were looking at me. I walked straight at her and she leaned in when I was near the bed.“Something wrong?” I asked worried as I looked at Brie and Alyana for answers.“Why am I here?” She asked, “I kept racking my brains
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 77 - Connections
-Vincent-“If we want to give him to suffer, then the heaviest sentence is what he needs,” Emmet’s lawyer explained as we looked into what kind of case we could file to make sure that we could keep Ems and Evelyn safe. “Also, with just Ems’s medical records, it’s enough to qualify it for divorce,” he added. “But without Evelyn’s testimony, and unfortunately, we could possibly get up to 10 years depending on the residing judge or jury.” “I want him gone,” Emmet’s voice was as cold as ice but he kept his calm. I am not sure that I could keep my calm if this happened to Evelyn. “We know that the law doesn’t work that way,” the lawyer said. “And we also know that the Bushes have a lot of connections and you know what I mean when I say that. There is a possibility that they contact those connections that would make everything a bit complicated.” “God!” The fury and frustration that he feels reflects on all of us. “If I can’t get him behind bars for a long time right now please go for t
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 76 - Fractured Memories
-Eve-The sun was shining brightly when I opened my eyes. My body aches, my headaches, and my body feels so heavy. I looked around me and I was surrounded by white walls, machines beeping, and the smell of antiseptic. Where am I?Just thinking about where I am made my head throb painfully.“Hey, Eve,” A cheerful voice I know so well greeted me. I turned to face the voice and found Garrett’s smiling face. I tried to give him a smile but failed miserably as the throbbing in my head continued. “Does your head hurt?” The concern in his voice reflected on his face. I closed my eyes as I nodded. “Let me get a nurse for you,” he replied, “Vincent,” I heard him say, followed by muffled voices before I heard the door open and then closed. “Hey, baby,” Vincent said as he approached. This was the first time I saw him this disheveled. His hair was all over the place with shadow under his eyes. “How are you?” He asked. He took my hand in his hand and sat on the couch beside the bed.“My hea

-Eve/Vincent-*Eve*No! I screamed but there was no sound. I watch the scene unfold before me, this can’t be real. This can’t be happening again. No! Ems husband didn’t even stir but I know that I need to get to her. I need to stop Hector from hurting Ems again. No, I will not let him hurt Ems again.I rushed towards Ems's side only to find that there was an invisible wall standing between us and just like before, I couldn’t stop it. I can’t reach her. No, No, No!I said shaking my head as if it would make a difference. As if my screams were loud enough to be heard. But that didn’t stop me because this time around. I will not make the same mistake that I did. I will not be a coward again. It was as if my silent prayer was heard and the invisible wall started to have cracks, so I kept hitting it until my hand bled. I continued screaming until my voice could be heard. Ems husband turned. His attention was not on me and I brace myself as he stomps towards me. I fought with him but
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 74 - Curve ball
-Vincent-I was out in the corridor waiting for the doctors to finish their examination on Evelyn. Nothing bad happened to her physically but still, she was shaken up by what she had witnessed.Seeing her the way she was earlier made me want to crush Hector but she beat me to it.I have to admit that it was one of my proudest moments. However, seeing her shaken up the way she did was something I would never want to see again. “Vincent!” I heard Brie call out, but Emmet was already standing in front of me before she could even reach me. “Where is my sister?” The anger from his voice vibrated all over my body. “What the hell happened?” I looked past him and spoke to Brie and Alyana instead of answering Emmet. “Evelyn is here,” I said pointing at the door on my right. “The doctors are checking up on her right now. Would you both be so kind as to stay here until the doctor got out and then stay by her side until I return?” Brie and Alyana nodded. “Tony?” I asked and knew he had no
