The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 9 - The first time I prayed…
-Eve--Eve-Vincent was out the whole morning and I couldn’t be more happier.“So what do you think of being an Executive Assistant?” Natalie asked all of a sudden, breaking the silence. “I kinda enjoyed it,” I admitted smiling. Aside from the pressure of working for Vincent, the job was pretty easy for me. At first, I was really afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do my job and get fired leaving me with so much debt, but it wasn’t hard at all. However, I know that it was because I had Natalie with me. “I’m glad you are enjoying it,” Natalie replied. “I know that you are not really working full-time right now but I really hope that you can continue doing part-time even when school starts again.” I looked at her in surprise. I almost forgot about school. I guess it was because my plans had changed. Initially, the plan was that Stephen and I would be married and I would stay at home for the first two years of our marriage to build our family. Stephen was ahead of me and had already ta

-Vincent-There are other places I would rather be than here. But being the heir of the Dreamweaver Corporation I have no choice but to endure this meeting. Actually, there is no problem with the meeting. You can make me go to every meeting there is, and I assure you that it will all go according to plan—everything except this one. Because a meeting that my grandmother has set up is something that never goes according to my plan. Don’t get me wrong, I love my grandmother. But I hate how she rushes me into marriage even though I told her several times already that it’s not for me.“Alright,” my Grandmother said as she looked at each of us. “That sums up our monthly meeting. Thank you all for coming and keep up the good work.”I hurriedly collected my things and rushed to the door, with no goodbyes, no hugs, and no kisses. Because those things just trap me.“Vincent,” my grandmother called out when I was just one step out of the room. I debated to just pretend that I didn’t hear her

-Eve-I am not sure what the hell was going on inside Vincent’s head. I know that he had saved me several times and I have to admit that I was the first one who pretended that he was my boyfriend but doing it for a long time is not my thing. Although I can’t say that I wasn’t tempted by his monetary offer. I don’t even know why he asked me when he could just ask any other girls. I know that they will be so willing to do it and they would even do it for free.“Why?” Vincent asked confusion filling his face.“I don’t know how to lie,” I lied. Seriously? I berated myself. I keep telling myself that I am not a liar even though it surprises me that I find myself lying almost all the time. I watched as Vincent’s brow rose, disbelieving me. “Okay,” I said as I raised both my hands. “I know I have lied several times but those are just white lies. What you’re asking of me is a long-term thing and I can’t do that. Not to mention that we need to fool your grandmother. Trust me, I am not a goo

-Vincent-I was in the meeting when Natalie called and told me about what happened to Evelyn’s grandmother. It was a good thing that I asked Carl to go back to the office to pick up some things that I needed for the next meeting. But once Carl gave me an update and her hunch as to what had happened to Evelyn’s grandmother, I decided to reschedule my meeting and let Carl focus on assisting Evelyn. “The doctors advised to keep Miss Anderson’s grandmother for the night to make sure that they didn’t miss anything,” Carl reported. I was glad that Evelyn’s grandmother was fine and that it was nothing serious, but what concerned me was what Carl found out. It seems that Evelyn’s grandmother was scammed. “Make sure to find out what exactly happened,” I told Carl, and I even asked him to make sure that everything that Evelyn and her grandmother needed had been taken care of. My phone rang as soon as I hung up with Carl, I immediately answered thinking it was Evelyn only to be disappointed

-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

The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 94 - A step closer
-Eve-I stood at the front door confused and surprised. When I saw the welcome arc of the Royal Mansion I thought that I would be staying with Brie. And as we drove inside the belief was slowly becoming a reality especially since I already saw a glimpse of Brie’s house. That was until Vincent took a right turn towards the right a house before Brie’s.“Where are we?” I remember asking him, not even hiding the confusion in my head.“Home,” He replied with a smile that I love so much as she pulled me towards the front door He punched his code on the electronic lock and opened the door for me showing me what was behind the humongous door and said, “Welcome home, my little devil.”Now here I am standing in the middle of a very big and very unfamiliar house that he said was ours. “Want me to show you around?” I can see his excitement, the smile he had greeted me with since he opened the door was still plastered on his face. I love his smile and I would do anything just to make sure that
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 93 - Our Home
-Vincent-I never knew how deep Evelyn’s trauma was. The doctor said that it was clear that Evelyn was not happy to be here at the hospital. The doctor also said that Evelyn was in denial right now. It was also because of these reasons that the doctor decided to let her go home, given that there is always someone with her. Someone who would be able to help her when the trigger kicked in. Someone who would be able to make sure her meds are taken on time. Someone who could rush her to the hospital if necessary. All these were explained to me and Evelyn’s grandmother. “Do you have a safe house?” Evelyn’s grandmother asked after the doctor’s explanation. “Yes,” I replied. “Then you should take my Evelyn home and take care of her.” When I just looked at her and never said a thing Evelyn’s grandmother continued. “I am old and don’t have enough straight to carry her if she faints out of anxiety. The location of our house is also far from the good hospital. I know how much you care fo

-Eve-The Psychiatric office of my doctor was nothing like the one I had in my dream. And because my dream was still fresh, I asked Vincent to stay out by the door, just in case. The room was more in calming colors of neutrals and no sunflowers. My doctor was not behind a big desk with the computer but the couch she asked me to sit on was definitely more comfortable than the one in my dream.“Hello, Evelyn,” my doctor greeted. She looks like she was a bit older than I was but gives me the feel that we are just the same age. “Hello,” I replied. “So, how are you?” She asked. “I feel better.”“Is there something that you would like to share or do you have any questions?”“Honestly, I am not sure why I am here. They just told me that I needed to visit you before I was allowed to go home. But technically, I am all healed up.” She listens to my every word and writes down on the clipboard in front of her. I am not sure if she was writing everything that I say word per word or not. “How

-Eve-I woke up drenched with sweat and filled with memories that I had forgotten. Ems…The beautiful girl with auburn hair. “Evelyn,” panic filled Vincent’s voice as he looked at me, eyes radiating with relief and fear as he checked if I was okay. “I am fine,” I touched his tense arm, wanting to feel his warmth and let him know that I was alright.I watched as his chest rose and fell, fast at first, until it slowly calmed down. His body which was tensed slowly loosened as he realized that what I said was true. My heart ached to see my confident man so afraid of something, I guess for my sake, someone like me.I was someone who was never meant to have him, but I was selfish and greedy. But after everything that had happened, I am now questioning if I have the right to be one. I shrug my thoughts away for now. I will face them soon enough but now is not the right time. I have far more important things to prioritize. “Ems,” the moment I mentioned her name Vincent’s expression change

If you are sensitive to this topic please skip this chapter. Evelyn was healing. Her bruises were almost gone even though I knew that what had happened to her that day would never be. She always smiles at me, at us, but my gut tells me that it’s not true. My gut tells me that something was happening to her underneath the facade that she was currently wearing. I wish there was a way for me to see what was going on inside her head, inside her heart. But even if I spent all the money that I had, I just knew that I would never find out what it was until she told me what it was herself. “You okay?” Emmet asked. “Yeah,” I replied, running a hand through my hair. “Things had just been tough.” We walked towards the administration office to check what Evelyn could do just to graduate. She was adamant about returning to school because she felt like s

-Eve-Vincent decided to transport me to the hospital in the city via helicopter as it would cause me less stress and pain. That is what the doctor had said. Little did he know that I was already stressed and every part of my body was already on alert, which caused me discomfort because of the news he had delivered.His Uncle was still roaming free. I know that Vincent would do everything in his power just to ensure that nothing bad happens to me but I can’t help but feel anxious. After all that I’ve been through with that man, a part of me would never want to experience the same thing again. “Are you okay?” Vincent shouted over the loud sound of the propellers. His eyes are filled with worry that I miss the arrogant bastard I had met not long ago. I gave him a slight nod to help him lessen the misery he was in. “We’re almost there,” he added reassuringly as he squeezed my hand, not sure if what he said was for me or for himself.True to his words we began to descend not long aft

Why am I back?Why isn’t Vincent here?‘Come out, come out, wherever you are,’ his voice was getting near. I can’t let him catch me again.‘You know that you can’t go anywhere. I will always find you.’ I hate the fact that I believe him. I know he will be true to his word. But I can’t let him win again.‘There you are!’ Strong hands gripped my arms dragging me out of my hiding place and there was nothing I could do. I kicked and squirmed but they just won’t release me. Fear filled my heart knowing no one was there to help me.‘Get your hands off me,” I screamed but they just laughed at me. ‘No one will hear you scream,’ Vincent’s Un
The Billionaire's Secret Chapter 86 - Silence
-Vincent-I am a control freak. I need certain things to be handled in a certain way to ensure that I would have the result I wanted. When I started this relationship with Evelyn, I was the one in control. But as time went by certain lines had blurred between us. There are certain things that I allowed to happen because keeping a woman like Evelyn meant flexibility. She was one of the kindest people I had ever met, the most understanding, the smartest, and the sweetest. I watched her shine in front of me and be a better version of her that I had forgotten one of the most critical variables, me. Because having me meant that she could also be the most fragile person.I made her fragile against my enemies, those people who hated me or those people who wanted nothing else but to pull me down. When I told Evelyn’s Nana what happened. I expected that we would immediately rushed to the hospital. But after knowing that Brie and my friends were there and that she was being treated, Nana a
