-Vincent-

“Aren’t we going to sit with them?” Garrett asked as he looked longingly toward the table that Brie and Alyana occupied.

“You know we can’t,” I replied. Even though I know that I could. Evelyn just asked me not to because she was a supportive friend, even though I had already pointed out multiple times that it was not applicable to me because I am her boyfriend.

Boyfriend…

I like the sound of it.

“Why do we have to suffer when it’s not even our fault?” Garrett complains, not minding that Emmet could hear him.

Garrett continued to complain beside Emmet, while Emmet continue to ignore him.

Tony, on the other hand, was busy with his laptop to mind us. I know that he hadn’t stopped since the break-in, and I also know that he wouldn’t stop until he fixed what needed to be fixed.

I looked down at my phone impatiently as I waited for Evelyn’s reply.

I had been trying to convince Evelyn that we should talk regardless of the outcome; I just wanted to get it over with.

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 56 - D-day

    -Eve-I thought I had enough time to think this through. Enough time to come up with a plan. I was expecting to hear some encouraging words from Brie, but just like yesterday, she didn’t come to school. Alyana and I were getting worried because we hadn’t received anything from her. No replies to our messages. No answered phone calls. It was like she just vanished as fast as she came. Alyana and I even went to her cafe. It was being run by her employees, and even they don’t have any idea when she will come back. We stayed there for a while, trying to chill with our favorite strawberry milkshake and chocolate milkshake. “Where the hell is she?” Alyana asks after two minutes of silence. “This is so not Brie,” I said, playing with my straw. “I know,” Alyana agrees, “And it’s because of that asshole Emmet.” “We don’t really know what happened between the two of them.” Alyana raises her eyebrows at me as if I have grown two heads. “God, Eve,” she said disbelievingly, and I autom

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 57 - First Date

    -Vincent-I know that I should have used the head I have on my shoulders and not the one below my waist, but I just can’t stop myself.The power that Evelyn has over me was both overwhelming and uncharted territory, but the way she gives me the same power over her removes any hesitation from me. I took her to my penthouse in one of the most expensive high rises in the city. “Why didn’t we go to your house?” Evelyn asked as she traced her index finger on my arm. We were both seated on the chaise lounge I had recently bought. After enjoying the one in Garrett’s hotel, I decided to buy one. The penthouse used to be a cold place for me to sleep in or work overtime at. It never felt like a home, and I never brought any girl here. Which is why I decided to bring Evelyn here. I don’t want any place that was tainted by my previous life. This is my life now, even though I am not sure how long it will last. “I am selling that place,” I replied to her answer, burying my face on her neck.

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 58 - Norrustra

    -Eve-I don’t know why I even agreed to do Vincent’s favor. Not only that, but I hate myself for agreeing to do it on the weekend. So here I am, losing my mind, and pretending that I can focus on whatever Mr. Reeves was teaching us even though I didn’t learn anything since first class. But that’s not all. To make my already stressful day more stressful, Vincent decided to sit beside me in every class. Seeing that we were seated together made Garrett think that everything was back to normal until he heard what Alyana had to say. “Can’t you let Garrett sit closer to us?” I asked in a whisper to Alyana, who was still flaring with anger. “No,” she replied with a huff. “I only allowed your boyfriend because he is your boyfriend and I don’t want to be a cockblocker for not allowing the two of you together. But that’s all I can tolerate.” I know that she acts tough and all, but I also know that there was something soft in there waiting to be discovered. Vincent’s phone rang, but I wasn

    -Eve-Princess…I have a friend who is a princess…We stayed at the reception area of the guidance office, which was just beside the Principal’s office. I stayed seated on one of the couches, too stunned to say anything while Alyana continued to shout silently at Tony in one corner. “Are you okay?” Vincent asked worriedly as he crouched down before me. “You knew?” I asked, looking at him.“No,” he replied as he shook his head. “Then how…” I trailed off, trying to piece everything together. “Tony called me,” he explained, giving me a small smile. “Actually, he just asked me to bring you guys here. He didn’t really elaborate on anything else. I trust him enough not to waste my time, so I brought you two here. I think Brie might have asked him.”“And when did he and Brie became close?” I demanded, surprising him and me at the same time. “Sorry,” I automatically say. “You don’t have to apologize for wanting to know something, little devil,” Vincent said with a smile. Like how much I

    -Eve-The bell rang, a sign that the weekend was here. Everyone was shouting and excited. All of them have plans for the weekend just like everyone else. There was a time when I didn’t have any plans at all. Just stayed with my grandmother and spent the day with her or with Stephen, but usually, he was busy during the weekends. “Let’s go,” Vincent said as he took my bag from me. “Didn’t know that Vincent Beckett was a gentleman,” I said teasingly, earning that smile of his that I begin to like.“Oh, Evelyn, nothing is gentle about me,” he said with a smirk. “Eve,” Alyana called out. I turned and found her running towards us.“Yes?” But instead of talking to me, she faced Vincent. “Don’t forget, this is a girl’s night out, meaning no boys.” Her tone was serious, like she was threatening him. “For now, I trust you and you alone. If you know what I mean.”Vincent nodded. “I know what you mean,” he replied.“Okay, what’s with this cryptic exchange?” I asked, hating to be the one l

    -Eve-“You’ll call me if something happened or if you want to go home,” Vincent said for the eighth time tonight, but this time, he was getting my things in the backseat of his car. “And I’ll pick you up at seven in the morning, sharp,” he added as he handed me my bag for the sleepover while living my other bag that I’ll be using when he takes me for a forty-eight-hour date. “I know, I know,” I said, shaking my head in disbelief. When I first met Vincent, I would have never thought of him as a nagger. It wasn’t just his style. He may be a playful and arrogant prick who enjoys torturing others, but I have never imagined him the way he is right now. Even though I enjoy the attention that he is giving me right now, I would still prefer the silent, moody, and confident Vincent over this over-protective and nagging of a boyfriend. “Eve,” he called out, stopping me from getting inside Brie’s cafe, even though I was already at the door. “What?” I asked, sighing as frustration was slowly

    -Eve-After hearing what Brie said, I can’t help but be angry. I know that it has nothing to do with me but it was still a dick move for Emmet. I don’t even know why he had to do that. I mean, it wasn’t like we were bothering them. Come to think of it. Emmet just tag along. Garrett was always planning things for us even though we didn’t ask him to. The only real connection we have with them is the connection that Vincent and I have. “I told you that those guys couldn’t be trusted.” Alyana's anger toward them has now tripled, and unlike before, I never tried to tell her to give them a chance.“Not all of them,” Brie replied softly. “I know that what Emmet did, but you see, the rest of them were kind to us.”I was always a very understanding person, always giving the benefit of the doubt. I thought I could never hate a person as much as I hated Stephen, but god, was I wrong. Because at that moment there was nothing I wanted to do more than to strangle Emmet. “They are all bad news,”

  • The Billionaire's Secret   Chapter 63 - The Royals

    -Vincent-After dropping Evelyn off, I went straight to the new house I had purchased for Evelyn. And I couldn’t be more happy to know that Tony was able to convince the King of Norrustra to do the same. The Royals Mansion is the most luxurious, safest place any person could buy a house from. Before anyone can buy a home here, an extensive background check has to be made. Not only that, but they also need to be part of their exclusive club called The Regal. For some, they have to pay to be part of the exclusive club. For others, it is offered for free, because the mere mention of one’s name as member is like free advertisement. What makes The Royal Mansuon different from the rest is that you can be a member of the exclusive club but not a homeowner because the background checks made for the homeowners are different. When Tony told me what had happened, and god how I wanted to punch Emmet’s face at that, I immediately did some research and found the place. Especially when Alyana st

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

    -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

    -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

    -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

    -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

    -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.
