The Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride Chapter 21
Sowing discordGeorge's POVA deep sense of hatred surged through my body as I watched the proud brother of mine walk past me like I was nothing.It had always been like that. Ever since we were kids, he had always seen me as someone of less importance, because I was the family's illegitimate child; born out of wedlock.Yes, my mother was our father's mistress until he married her in court. Unfortunately, the foolish man died of a heart attack before he could marry my mom properly and announce their union to the whole world.I had always looked up to him as my elder brother, but the days passed by and my admiration gradually turned into hatred. It felt like leeeches were on my skin and I was desperate to get them off."Second Young Master" I heard someone call, and I turned to see Grandfather's butler staring at me with those empty eyes of his."Why were you staring at Young Master like that?" He berated, his eyes squinting.I scratched the back of my hair nervously. "I'm sorry. I was

DeceitGeorge's POV"Why did you come if you knew you were going to leave?" She queried, her words dripping with displeasure. "Don't bother coming back if you don't intend on staying."I knew she was upset. I should have stayed to pacify her, but Elizabeth's message couldn't be ignored at the moment."I'm sorry, mum. I'll be back to spend the weekend with you" I said and turned to leave.I rushed to my car and drove out. My phone buzzed again.It was another message from Elizabeth. I opened it to see an address different from her family mansion. I found it on Google Maps and followed it, wondering why she chose a new spot.We had always met at her house when her parents were out. When she called, I assumed her parents were not in, so I didn't bother questioning her about it.Within thirty minutes, I arrived in front of a gate. A man dressed in a security uniform came out with a baton and knocked on my window."Your name, please?" He asked with a firm but polite voice."George Martinez

Best BuddiesAdrian's POVI had to stop by the best wine-selling store in the city to get him his favorite wine. As much as I hated to admit it, it was the only way I could have a proper conversation with him. His carefree and nonchalant attitude was always getting on my nerves.I drove into a large villa with flowers surrounding it. I stepped down from the car to see a familiar face staring at me with a welcoming smile on his face."Welcome, Young Master Martinez" He greeted politely."Hello, Sebastian" I responded, looking past him. The doorstep was right there."Where's Javier?" I asked."He's in the living room" Sebastian replied. "I'm glad you came. He's been so bored lately.""Yeah.. he's always bored when he has no party to attend or a woman to flirt with," I said with sarcasm in my voice. "Let's go in."I carried the package I got along with me and walked into the house with Sebastian behind my trail.True to his words, the silly fellow was sitting in the living room, watching

BulliedLuisa's POV"Argh!" I growled in frustration as I kicked the air.It's been a few hours since I woke up and I was already bored. Staying at home had never been my thing. I had always been either at the Spotlight Desk or at a shooting scene.To crown it all, my stomach had grumbled for the umpteenth time today. I was tempted to go to the kitchen, but the last night's incident was still fresh in my memory.What if I got there to find the cupboards and refrigerator locked again?Unfortunately, the worms in my belly weren't ready to reason with me. Well, I could try to check it out.I jumped off the bed and put my slippers on, walking to the door. I opened it and stepped out. The corridor was quiet as usual.I trotted downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. I strutted in to see two ladies dressed in maid uniforms cleaning up the kitchen."Good evening" I mumbled and walked straight to the refrigerator. I opened it and found a bottle of milk.I was about to grab it when I fe

PoisonedAdrian's POV"Javier" I called to make something clear. "You can't claim to be my friend if you plan to keep relying on your parents to take care of your needs. You need to find something important to do. You have the intellectual ability to lead the company. What exactly are you still waiting for?""I've been having that thought too," Javier said solemnly. "I want to take over the company, but there's a problem and I need your help in solving it.""What's that?" I inquired.Javier sighed deeply and leaned against the sofa with a somber look."It's the board members" He began. "They created a faction in the company that is threatening to vote my father out if he doesn't step down and hand over the CEO position to his stepbrother, my uncle.""Your father has a stepbrother?" I asked in surprise, realizing I didn't know much about his family whereas he was close to mine."I'm sorry" I added, seeing the accusing look on his face."Yes, my dad has a stepbrother" Javier replied. "M

A suspectAdrian's POV"Oh, hello, Mr. Gonzalez" Lydia smiled brightly, her words dripping with a mix of politeness and sincerity. "I was just about to call you."Her gaze shifted to me and wavered slightly. She clearly couldn't recognize me; not everybody could."What are you doing here, Lydia?" Javier berated sharply."I beg your pardon?" Lydia said, her brows raised in confusion. "The CEO passed out after his meeting was concluded. Everyone had left and I was the only one with him, so I asked the driver to bring us here immediately.""Oh, really?" Javier scoffed. "I thought he fired you."Lydia's expression darkened for a moment before it brightened up. "He did, but he called me back a few days after and pleaded that I resumed work the next day.""How come I didn't know about that?" Javier probed, his voice full of disbelief.Lydia shrugged as she fiddled with her hair. "It's probably because you show no interest in the company's affairs.""Er.. that's enough" Dr. Daniel interrupte

PunishmentLuisa's POV"Who did this to you?" Adrian barked, making me flinch. "Answer me!""Don't bother about it" I said, trying to pull my hand away from him.What audacity did he have to barge into my room and input fear in me? Honestly, I was scared. I also could understand why he was reacting like this. It couldn't possibly be because of my problems."Come with me" Adrian ordered.My legs were already weak, so when he pulled me towards him, I fell on his chest.He dragged me towards the door and we walked out. We trotted downstairs and stopped walking when we arrived at the living room. I sighted a large number of people, both male and female, all dressed in maid uniforms standing on the other side of the room. I shifted my gaze to the left to see Charles holding a laptop in his hands.Surprisingly, I spotted the two maids, who had bullied me, kneeling on both sides of Charles, grabbing onto his legs and shedding tears.What a spectacular sight to behold! I had a feeling I was a

Bad newsAdrian's POV"What is it?" I asked sharply, annoyed by the suspense.She just kept staring at me. I wasn't that hard on her, was I?Luisa swallowed hard. "It's.. it's my manager. He wants me at the company right now."I eyed her suspiciously. "With your injury? How do you plan to hide that?""He doesn't know about the injury yet" Luisa replied, holding her wrist with the other hand. "I'll wear a coat to hide it from everyone.""Okay," I agreed.Normally, I shouldn't have, but I felt she needed a break. It was my fault such a thing happened to her in the first place. I should have made things clear to all of them in the building.I watched Luisa stand up and walk to the stairs. An idea suddenly popped into my head."Luis...." I trailed off, feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket.I stood up and removed it. I saw I had received a message from Miguel; a profitable one at that.With a smile on my face, I took my time to review the files and videos I had received. I couldn't help b

HopelessValerie's POVMy eyes shot open, and my chest heaved. Sweat beads trickled down my face as I tried to recall the details of the nightmare.Wait. Was it even a nightmare?"Oh, the princess is awake, huh?" A male voice whispered, his voice laced with mockery.At that moment, my senses woke up and my sharp gaze settled on the two men standing...No, they weren't standing. They were obviously kneeling before me. The two of them were shirtless, revealing the snake-like tattoos on their bodies. The one who spoke was blonde haired with grey eyes and a slender physique, while the second one had black hair with a touch of grey on it. His brown eyes was filled with mix of disdain and lewdness. His sturdy build was the most scary thing.What the hell was I doing with them?"Who are you guys? Where am I?" I questioned, my voice hoarse. A sharp pain shot through my head as I tried to put together the scattered pieces of images in my head. I couldn't help but wince in pain."Oh, she has a b

DisappearanceAdrian's POV"Tch... You bitch" I cursed, almost biting my tongue.I couldn't understand how we managed to bump into her without getting a warning from James.I shifted my gaze to Miguel. "What did he say?"Miguel shook his head slowly. "Nothing. He isn't responding.""If you're talking about the friend you left outside, he's probably dead by now" I heard Valerie say, and my blood boiled in anger."What do you mean?" I snapped.Valerie snickered. "Exactly what you heard. I already made plans just in case Jude and the waitress messed up. My men would have ambushed him by now. Now, back to our discussion. I have my terms and conditions."I frowned with a disturbance in my heart. "What terms?"Valerie smiled. "It's simple. You ditch that kitten, we get back together and you announce it to the world. Also, you help me get my company back."I was stupefied. "You're insane!" I snarled."I know" Valerie retorted. "Do you agree with my terms and conditions or are you going to re

TwistValerie's POVFlashback......"I hope that dirty waitress does her job perfectly well" I snorted, eyeing Levi suspiciously. I was still yet to understand why he decided to stick around after stating clearly that he wanted nothing to do with us anymore."She will" I heard Jude say. "She knows the consequences of failing.""Good," I stated, my eyes fluttering around the room we were in as I marveled at the scent of luxury. "How could she even afford this kind of suite in a club?"Jude chuckled. "She's the club owner's favorite and his bed warmer. What more can we expect?"She was already enjoying her boss, but it seemed her greed was insatiable. I mean, why else would she agree to my proposal?I laughed, shooking the thought of it off my mind. It was her business anyway. My only concern was to get what I wanted without mistakes."Good riddance" I smiled. "How many rooms do we have here?""Two" Jude replied curtly. "We've already prepared one for the mission. You can use the other

A Bomb DetonatorAdrian's POV"Don't forget we had a deal" Jude chipped in, glaring hard at the young lady. "One word from you, and you'll be dead."I smirked, studying her body response. "He's surrounded; he can't touch you. His words are just empty threats. Tell me the truth and I'll have you protected by my men till everything is over."The overwhelmed lady broke down in tears, her body trembling. "I... I.... don't know" She stuttered, falling to her knees.Javier was getting impatient. He walked up to her and cocked his gun, pointing it to her head. "You don't what?" He snapped. "Don't even try to scream or you'll be meeting your maker the second you do."The lady covered her mouth with her right hand, breathing heavily. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her skin was burning hot."Speak!" Javier barked, and the lady whimpered."I'll tell you" She stated. "But you have to promise to let me go. I'll pretend like nothing ever happened."I burst into laughter, stunned by her confid

The SearchAdrian's POV"She switched dresses with her" Javier stated the obvious, infuriating me further.I banged my fist against the wall, letting my anger control me. The next thing I did was to land a punch on the wall mirror, shattering it into pieces. I ignored the blood dripping from my knuckles and landed another blow on the next mirror."That's enough, Adrian. This is not the best way to solve this" Javier warned sternly.But I was too livid to listen. I swiftly threw a punch at him, but fortunately, he dodged. I didn't have enough time to withdraw my fist before he grabbed it and threw me a punch in the face."Get yourself together, man" He shouted in anger.I grabbed the sink and leaned on it for support."Shut the fuck up!" I cursed, spitting out blood. "I can't even find her. Who knows what they've done to her? How do I face her after this?""You're overwhelmed, Bro. I've never seen you like this" Javier revealed soberly. "You're forgetting it's a live video. They haven'

ImpersonationAdrian's POV"Where the hell is she?" I cursed silently, looking out for Luisa and the man she danced with. I couldn't believe my carefully mapped out plan to make sure she danced with someone we were familiar with failed woefully.As I searched for her, something kept tugging at my heart - the image of a lady behind a cat-like mask. The lady I danced with. We didn't exchange a word, but her smile kept me troubled.Who exactly was she?I felt a light tap on my shoulder, making me turn swiftly, on high alert."Chill, bro. It's me" Javier whispered. "I'm sorry that happened. I've checked everywhere but I can't seem to find her.""Tch..." I clenched my fist in anger. "What about the man she danced with?""Also nowhere to be found" Javier replied with a solemn voice.Instantly, my eyes caught sight of a familiar silhouette, dressed the same way I last saw her."Wow!" Javier exclaimed, staring at her. "Where did she go?"I ignored him, walking up to her. I grabbed her tiny ha

A SyringeLuisa's POV"Tch... Who made such a rule?" Adrian gritted his teeth in annoyance as he grumbled with a low voice. "This is the first time such is happening."I couldn't respond, because it was my first time attending a masquerade ball. I never really knew the rules.My eyeballs suddenly widened in realization.I turned to Adrian. "Who's the host?"He shrugged. "No one knows. There's a familiar signature on it; one that I'm used to. If not, we wouldn't be here.""Wow!" I exclaimed in amazement. It sounded daring but dangerous."Everyone get into position" The MC stated, signifying the commencement of the first dance. "Make sure to stand on the large blue flowers on the tile. It will help you guys maintain a reasonable distance."Blue flowers? Oh... There were imprints of blue and white flowers on the floor."Shouldn't we go join the others?" I asked, but Adrian squeezed my hand in reply."I won't let my wife dance with a stranger" He muttered.I read his lips, which left me

Dance PartnersLuisa's POV"You look stunning" Anna complimented with much sincerity, her eyes glittering with praises.She was indeed a top-notch make-up artist, who knew exactly what was good for her clients. I, myself, couldn't believe what I was seeing, my eyes fixed on the mirror."Of course, she looks stunning. It's my work of art" A sissy voice chipped in, full of pride.It was the fashion designer who helped with the dress fitting. Orlando, or what was he called? The guy couldn't just stop blabbering for a second. Nevertheless, I was grateful. Though the diamonds were too much, I still appreciated it.I didn't dare to think of reprimanding Adrian for spending his money on his wife. The masquerade ball was indeed not for the weak."Oh.. we have fifteen more minutes before the ball starts" Anna mentioned, her eyes on the wall clock. "The ride to the event center is five minutes."A knock on the door grabbed our attention. It was one of the maids in the mansion."Master demands f

A Dangerous JokeLuisa's POVThe tiny hope brewing in my chest turned to dust the moment the pervert pointed a gun at my belly. I was too young to die.Again and again, I kept falling into the hands of an enemy, and Adrian kept on being threatened, having to go the extra miles for my sake.Guilt washed over me as I watched them argue back and forth. I couldn't even summon the courage to make a sound, let alone speak out."Don't you dare try to hurt her" Adrian snarled."I will if you don't do as I say" Jefferson retorted."This is bullshit" A man standing next to Adrian cursed. "How dare you harass a woman? You haven't changed one bit.""And I'm guessing you're still that little kid who can't fight for himself" Jefferson fired back."You bet" The man replied."Enough!" Adrian commanded. "I'm done listening to your rambling. What do you want, Jefferson?"The pervert's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "I don't know who this woman is to you, but I know what I want.."A moment passed
