The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 21 - Friends and Lovers
-Eve-The weekend flew so fast and I haven’t heard anything from Vincent since the night of the party. I sent him messages asking him how he was but he hasn’t seen any of my messages. I know that I should be glad that he hasn’t contacted me yet, but I can’t help but worry for him. I just really hope that everything turns out okay for him. It was the first day of class and our last semester before we graduated. I hope that everything will go well with my scholarship. I know that I have money saved but I hate to use it. It feels like it isn’t mine even though I know that it was my payment. I just can’t help but feel guilty about the fact that Vincent paid me that amount and yet instead of making everything okay for him, I made it worse. I sighed before leaving our house and went straight to school.So far nothing seems wrong, especially with my enrollment. Even though there was a lot of whispering when I passed by the corridor, people staring, and no message from Vincent, it seemed l

-Vincent-I was in a bad mood the whole morning simply because Evelyn decided that it was her duty to help her cafe friend, and the girl that was with her, a tour of our campus. “What’s wrong with you?” Emmet asked as he sat in front of me at lunch. “You had been in a sour mood since the third period.”I didn’t even consider answering his question. “He’s in that mood because Evelyn decided to be a goody-two-shoes leaving him with us,” If I didn’t need Garrett now I swear I had already punched his face. “You really like her,” Emmet said as he gave me one of his serious looks. Yes, I like Evelyn but not in the way they think. I own her, she's mine, well at least until the contract expires. Still, it was a good thing that they think like that. The more people who think that we are a real couple, the better.“What do you think?” Garrett asked like it was something so obvious and Emmet was so stupid not to recognize it. “He didn’t even want to share, remember?” I could hear the bitterne

-Eve-I am getting used to the role I am playing. But I can’t deny that there are moments when I still feel overwhelmed.I used to not know Vincent. Then I started to get annoyed by him. Slowly, I am getting the feeling that I am starting to care for him more than I should. Just like how I offered something that I shouldn’t. ‘You can stay at my house,’ I offered because I felt guilty about what had happened between him and his grandmother. “We have an extra room although it might not be up to your standards.”“Oh, Eve, you don’t want to have this guy in your house,” Garrett said interrupting me but at the same time waking me up from my haze.“She’s not asking you,” Vincent snapped. And suddenly every part of me was in panic mode.“Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you,” Garrett added. Vincent sighs heavily. I try to calm myself as I find an excuse or change of topic that would not lead back to me asking Vincent to stay in my house. What the hell was I thinking? I held a smile I had jus

-Vincent-There was something about Evelyn’s demeanor as I dropped her to class that made me feel uneasy. “Why is Evelyn taking the same class as us but not in the same room?” Garrett asked once I took the seat beside him. I looked around and found him sitting with Emmet, and Tony as Evelyn’s cafe friend and her friend occupied the seats in front of us. If Evelyn’s cafe friend is here, I don’t find any other reason for her not to be here as well. “Tony,” I said as an idea popped into my head. One of her clauses in our contract. The one part I was having a hard time teaching her. Revenge.“On it,” Tony replied as our teacher stepped into the room. “Emmet,” I called as that heavy, sinking feeling inside of me begins to grow. Emmet stood and walked directly towards our teacher who was about to start our class. “She’s here,” Tony replied without mentioning any names. “What’s going on?’ The cafe girl asked worriedly.“Gar—,” I started but he knew what to do even without being asked.

-Eve-I don’t know how long I was out and what happened before everything turned black. All I know is that this is the softest bed I have ever lain into. I turned to the side trying to find a more comfortable position when I felt something hard in front of me. My forehead creased as I tried to figure out what it was until a sound came out of it. “Finally!” The voice was low and gruff and sounded so familiar. I pulled my hand back under the sheets as I hid it with my entire body. “Evelyn,” he had called my name several times already but this was the first time that he called it with so much care. “Let me see your face,” it sounded like a plea but I could feel the hint of command in those five words. And as much as I hated how he commanded me, I couldn't seem to find it in myself to disobey him.I sighed as I realized that there was no use in hiding. Sooner or later I would still need to get home and the only way for me to do that is to face, Vincent fucking Beckett. “I am fine,” I

-Vincent-I had always been a confident man. And I always, always get what I want. But Evelyn? Evelyn was something I should never want.I mean, if we are talking about sex then that’s a different matter because I can have sex without any attachment. I used to want Evelyn that way.Like a new kind of treat on display that doesn’t only look delectable but tastes like one. Unfortunately for me, Evelyn slowly becomes something more than that. She is slowly bringing me to a place I am never used to. A place that I have buried a very long time ago and yet here I am finding myself getting closer and closer to the place I thought no longer exists.Evelyn and I had been walking dangerously at the edge of the border that we both set.But with the way she is looking at me now, I know something changed not only with the way I see her but also with the way she sees me. I can feel the tension in the air like an invisible bomb ready to explode once triggered.I had been with many girls but not on

-Eve-“Do you want to have sex with me, Evelyn?” I know that I should have run away the moment that he asked this question. I know that I should have been scared. I should have called Brie or the police to pick me up. I know that being in the same room, alone, with Vincent Beckett was definitely not the safest place to be. And yet, here I am still sitting in front of him unable to look away. It suddenly felt like the room getting hotter as sweat formed at the back of my spine. Both of us stared at each other unmoving, unblinking, afraid to lose the game that we started. I am not sure what I am fighting for at this moment.Not sure if I even knew what I was getting myself into. All I know is that something between us has changed. “Do I take your silence as a yes?” he asked, gold flecks appeared in his onyx eyes, as he gave me a mischievous smile. The rhythm of my heart went frantic as the heat of his stare spread all over my body straight to my core. I have never felt this way bef

-Vincent-I was in a sour mood ever since my alone time with Evelyn was interrupted. We were finally getting somewhere but they just have to butt in and destroy the moment. Evelyn and I may be bound by a piece of paper, but something had shifted between us. Something we both didn’t dare talk about. Well, not directly at least.I took a glance at the girls who were giggling as they walked on the tarmac excitedly but my focus landed on the woman who kept bothering me more than she should. I know that I shouldn’t want her more than what we agreed on but as time passes, I can’t help but want her more and more. I wonder what would she say to me if she knew when my fascination with her started.“We’re here,” Garrett announces in front of the private jet that his father gave him on his birthday two years ago. “Ladies first,” he gestured towards the girls. Who excitedly walked towards the stairs. I followed behind Evelyn, subtly elbowing Garrett who let out a grunt. I know the seating capa

I don’t know what time it is or where the hell I am. I don’t even have an idea if it was day or night. All I can remember was what Vincent's uncle did to me. Tony had warned me about it. That there will be people like him. He also told me that if I was at a disadvantage, the number one rule was to let my attacker think that he was winning and not to fight. This is why the most crucial and the hardest part of the training he gave us was endurance. Because Tony promised us that he would find us no matter what happens, we just need to give him time. The door of what seemed to be a dungeon opened and one of the muscled men earlier walked in with a tray in his hand and and stood in front of my small prison cell. He opened the door of the cell and slid the tray towards me. “Eat,” he said
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 82 - Truths
-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
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 79 - Round Cold Steel
-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
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 75 - The Nightmares
-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
