Chapter 45 - My Truth…

2025-02-21 01:00:34-Vincent-
I waited for my grandmother in her office even though she asked me to meet her at home. I know that this stunt that I pulled would earn me a scolding but better safe than never.
Conversations like this should always be in her office because I can’t let my grandmother use my parents as part of her arsenal.
Our ancestral home has always been one of my weaknesses, because even though my parents have already passed, I can still feel their presence there, sometimes. I was too young to remember them, but every nook and cranny of the ancestral home reminds me of them, and the legacy that they left behind, especially my father’s.
Thinking about my parents makes me wonder, what their reaction would be if they were still alive and I

The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 46 - The Condition…
-Vincent-I was expecting my grandmother to scold me. I was expecting her to throw me out of the building.I was expecting her to cut me off completely. And I was prepared for it. What I didn’t expect was to see her calm and quiet. I never knew her silence was more deafening than her scolding. But I knew my grandmother, if there was something she was good at, it would be her poker face. She may look calm and collected, but I am not sure if that’s how she really feels.So I stood my ground and waited. We stared at each other for god knows how long, both of us are stubborn enough not to give in and I can see that it definitely runs in the blood.A heavy sigh left my grandmother's lips as she looked away from me. My grandmother never backed down, even from me. However, I can’t remember when we had this kind of argument. Because we never had one. I was so busy with taking care of my own company and she was busy with taking care of her company. We were both so good at our work that our

-Eve-What does it feel like to have a friend? Growing up as an orphan, as everyone else calls me, no one wanted to be my friend because I was different. But then I remember this boy I met in grade school who was just like me. At first, everyone avoided him which is why we became friends. But then one day everything changed. Everyone started liking him and wanted to be his friend. I watched him from afar as the people around him surrounded him showing him their toys or giving him food. I never got the chance to play with him anymore because everyone else wanted to do the same with him. Until he disappeared one day and I was left alone.The next friend I had was Stella and she backstabbed me by marrying my boyfriend. That’s when I thought that people only became my friends because they wanted something from me not because they really wanted me to be their friend. “Spill,” Brie said as we sat in the farthest room of her cafe after serving us drinks. Vincent wasn’t able to come to schoo

-Vincent-I was so busy moving back to my place and catching up with the updates on my business that I had to miss my afternoon date with her. Luckily Natalie hadn’t given birth yet but she was near.Evelyn told me that she and her new circle of friends are hanging out after school. I was not happy not to spend time with her, but I was glad that she finally found people who had her back. I might say that Brie is okay. What worries me is that girl who was always angry. I always forget her name. “It’s nice to have you back,” Natalie said, “Don’t forget my additional pay and bonus for the stress you have left to me, not to mention, my baby. It’s a wonder I still haven’t given birth.” “I never mean to be out and you know it,” I said softly. That’s how competent Natalie is. She was able to keep the business running smoothly along with Carl in my absence.A sigh escaped her lips before she went into full business mode as she gave me a rundown of all the updates from the company since my g

-Eve-It’s been a while since I enjoyed spending time with friends. With no worries about what they think of me or if being an orphan was something to be ashamed of. It’s funny how finding the right crowd makes something as simple as hanging out drinking coffee or milkshakes make you lose track of the time. “You know what,” Brie said, clapping her hands together.“Now you look scary,” Alyana teases. “I haven’t said anything yet,” she said defensively. I smiled because for some weird reason, hearing their banter warms my heart.“Anyways,” Brie said, “Since our class tomorrow is in the afternoon, I want to make a proposal.” “Why do I get the feeling that whatever it is that you have planned is scary?” Alyana teases. Brie pouted, and this time, I laughed, out loud.“Then don’t join us,” Brie crosses her arm in front of her chest looking all confident and authoritative.“Are you even sure that Eve would agree with your plan? Alyana asked. She might look serious but the tone of her v

-Vincent-I scared her. I know that I should have handled things differently but my fear of not seeing her again caught me off guard. “She’s safe,” Tony reassured me as he continued to drive behind Brie’s car. “Do we have any news on who broke in?” I asked, trying to distract myself and hopefully calm down before I faced Evelyn again. “Not yet,” Tony replied, I could hear the disappointment in his voice. I don’t need to look at him to know how much he beat himself up with what had happened. I couldn’t blame him because I know how he works. I know how he always double-checks everything related to his security system. And honestly, the speed at which I was alarmed about the break-in was already a good sign that his system works. But this is Tony that we are talking about and I know how much he values perfection. “But my men are working on it,” the seriousness in his voice was so cold that it made me shiver, “And I promise you that whoever did this will pay.”I know that when Tony p

-Eve-We stood in silence for god knows how long. I hate the distance between us right now but I will never make the first move. Even though I just want us to get this tension between us resolved, I am still angry at him for acting the way he did earlier. He might be paying me and we might have been closer than before but that doesn’t mean he has the right to act the way he acted earlier. Vincent sighed as he started to walk towards me. “It’s late and I know that you are as tired as I am right now,” his voice was soft and there was a gentleness in his touch as he led me to the couches. He let go of my hand as he pushed the chaise longue closer to the floor-to-ceiling window. He then proceeds to place several pillows at the back of the sofa before settling down. He turned to face me as he offered his hand to me, “Come sit with me, little devil,” his eyes were tired and pleading. A different version of Vincent, once again.“I am still mad at you,” I said, making it clear that he wo

-Vincent-Sleepover…When Evelyn told me she never experienced one, I didn’t believe her initially, well, until I saw that she was telling the truth. This was supposed to be my night of truth. Well, my truth at least. The time when I told her everything and saw how she would take my truth and pray to all the gods who could hear that she would accept my new proposal. But I gave her so much stress tonight, mostly my fault, that I gladly gave it when she requested an escape. I sat on one of the couches and watched as Brie, Alyana, and my Eve made fun of Garrett. The room was filled with teasing and laughter. “So, you two made up?” Emmet asked as he hand me a shot of whiskey.“Not quite,” I replied as he took the empty seat beside me. “But my grandmother gave everything I own back.”I watched his eyebrow raise in question before asking the obvious, “What did she ask in return?” A smile crept in on my lips. Emmet knows my grandmother so much that he knows she doesn’t give anything for

-Vincent-They were gone when we woke up. “What the fuck did you do, Emmet?!” Garret screamed as he continued to either Brie or Alyana but none of them was picking up his call. He turned to me, “Did Eve say anything else?” I shook my head. I am far more irritated than Garrett is but I keep my cool. I tried calling Evelyn the moment Garrett burst into my room when he found that Brie and Alyana were no longer in their rooms. He was expecting them to be in my room because he was expecting Eve to be with me only to find me alone.Evelyn didn’t answer my call which pisses me off. But unlike Garrett, I was still lucky that Evelyn sent me a message telling me that she couldn’t answer the phone because it was a girl thing and that she was okay and they were heading home early. As much as this whole situation sucks, I am also happy that Evelyn found someone she could be comfortable with. After all the bad things she had experienced in her life, I am just glad that something is looking up

If you are sensitive to this topic, please skip this chapter. Vincent’s other side definitely took me by surprise.They were also right. This is beyond me. I know that Vincent is different. I just didn’t know that he was that different. “Breathe, little devil,” Vincent whispered. Sending chills down my spine. I exhaled the breath I didn’t know I was holding as I let the view in front of me unfold. I don’t know how to describe what I was feeling right now. Not sure if I could even find the right words. All I know is that this isn’t something I was expecting. “You have the power over everything, little devil,” Vincent reminded. “You have the power to stop everything; all you have to say is your safe word. If this makes you uncomfortable, all you have to do is say your safe word.”A part of me was tempted to do just that. Part of me thinks
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 102 - The Other Side…
-Eve-I don’t know where we are going. I don’t know what is happening. Because I did not see anything, I didn’t know why they had to wear this black cotton cloth over my head. When he placed it over my head, I almost panicked until he slapped my ass playfully. I am not panicking right now because I can feel him beside me. I can smell him beside me, and I am not sure if it was because of the black bag over my head or if it was because I miss Vincent, but every movement he makes just heightens my anticipation. “Is this cloth really necessary?” I asked. “Yes, little devil,” he replied. The low tone of his voice sent a shiver down my spine. It was sexy, it was hot. I felt my pussy clenched. I felt the car we were in stop, but we didn’t get out of the car yet. Instead, I heard hushed whispers, but I couldn’t make out the words that they were saying. The suspense is killing me. “So, this is the girl that won Vincent Beckett’s heart,” a woman with a thick accent said. Although I am no
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 101 - Resolve…
-Vincent-I know that we’re stepping on unknown ground. I know that I am pushing my luck. But that silent whisper at the back of my head wouldn’t stop telling me to take the chance. To take the risk. But my friends are afraid. That’s the reason why they are here now. I understand where they are coming from, and I have already pushed this idea to the back of my mind so many times. So afraid of what the results might be. So afraid that I might lose the only person who made me realize that my heart was actually beating.But I don’t want to hide from her anymore. I want to have Evelyn as a whole. I want to have everything that she could give me. Even those parts of her that she’s afraid for me to see. Which is why I am pushing for this. I want her to see the worst of me and hope that she will be able to accept it. “Okay,” I finally relent, “We will go now, but before we leave, I want you to give me a safe word.”“Fuck!” I heard Garrett say, but I never tore my eyes from the fiery wom
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 100 - Safe Word
-Eve-Vincent was tense the whole afternoon. He tries to deny it, but I can see it in his movements and the way his hands keep running through his hair. I know that it wasn’t easy for him to be this open to anyone. It wasn’t easy for him to change what he was used to before he met me. Which is why I appreciate all his efforts in making me feel how much he wanted me to be part of his life. “You need to calm down,” I said, looking up from the book he gave me, watching him pace back and forth in front of me. “Baby,” I called, making him turn to face me. “You are making me nauseous with all the walking that you are doing in front of me. What is bothering you?” He released a loud exhale before walking towards me and taking the seat beside me.“I’m sorry,” he apologized. “You are just so important to me, and I am really afraid that you would go and run away from me.”My eyebrow rose in curiosity was slowly getting the best of me. “Can’t you really tell me where you’re taking me, and why
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 99 - His Story 2
-Eve-I hate it when bad people win.I hate the fact that, after all the bad things that they had done, they wouldn’t get punished for it. Those people are the kind of people I hate the most. How can they get away from all the bad things that they have done and leave those who are good with so much pain? And why the hell do bad things happen to good people? What the hell have they done that was so wrong for them to deserve such pain? But that’s not what bothers me most. What bothers me is the fact that I was also on the receiving end of that pain. Why did it have to happen to me? What did I do that was so wrong to deserve all the things that had been happening to me?I was a kind and understanding girlfriend. I was kind and helpful to my bestfriend, and yet those two people that I cared for never thought twice of hurting me or ruining the life that I had planned for us.Why do people always take advantage of others? Why can’t they just be truthful enough to just tell me that they don

If you are sensitive to this topic, please skip this chapter. “So what is it that you’re going to tell me?” I asked in between bites, waiting for him to start talking. “It’s about someone who used to be my girlfriend.” I heard that he only had one girlfriend, and it was a fake one. I am just not sure if this was the same story as the one the Ems told me. “And how she disappeared from the world.”Wait… What?I stared at him even though I promised not to react until he was done with what it was he was going to tell me, but unfortunately, I failed. “Sorry for surprising you, I hope that I didn’t scare you. I promise that I will explain everything to you if you would like to hear my side of the story.” Vincent Beckett was a confident man, and I could see that this was something he was not used to. He always has the last say. Regardless of wh
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 97 - Confessions
-Vincent-I am a strong person. I can handle a lot of things that normal people couldn’t. Starting at a young age, my grandmother has already honed me and trained me to be as hard and as strong as titanium. She repeatedly explained that if I want to survive the business, I should be ruthless, smart, goal-oriented, and strong. I was all of those things and more, which is why people who don’t know me viewed me as someone who was cold, uncaring, and ruthless.But the moment I saw Evelyn, under my dress shirt cabinet, naked and scared, something inside me broke. I didn’t know my titanium walls had begun to show some tears and cracks, not until today. I kneeled slowly, praying that I would see the woman I had been looking for all morning. And when I took a peep underneath my dress shirt, just behind the mountain of coats, was my little devil. “Hey, baby,” I whispered, not wanting to scare her. I watched her unfocused eyes turn and met mine. “Vincent,” her voice was shaky, and the f

It felt like I had been working every second of my life, and my body was so sore. I turned to face the other side, looking for Vincent, but found it empty instead. “Vincent?” I called out, breaking the deafening silence that surrounds me. My heart rate starts to pick up its pace. As if there was something urgent that it needed to go to. I pulled the covers away from my body as I sat up. That’s when I realized that my senses went on overdrive. My ears were on high alert because if there is one sense that could help me in my situation, it would be my sense of hearing. I was able to prepare myself for all sorts of things because of my sense of hearing. I knew what was waiting for me whi

-Eve-“Before you tell me how you feel, there’s something that you should know.”I learned not long ago that when people tell me that there is something that I should know first before I make my final decision, it doesn’t always mean a good thing. “You’re making me nervous,” I said with a chuckle trying to hide the anxiousness that I was feeling.“I don’t mean to scare you off, but I just want to be totally honest with you. That’s how much you mean to me. Because I don’t want to have just parts of you. I want to have your everything.” Seeing how earnest he was and how much he wanted us to work makes me feel something I have never felt for so long. It made me feel loved.“I don’t think there’s something about you that could make me think bad about you.” Ever since I had met Vincent, there was nothing about him that wasn’t true. I am not sure if he knows it but ever since I met him, I was never afraid of being lied to or cheated, because he never gave me any reason to think that way.
