The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal Chapter 50
Frederick stood in front of the large glass walls of his office, staring out at the busy streets below, where cars were moving swiftly and pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks. Some hurrying to cross the road and the sign of red on the traffic lights.The towering skyscrapers around him seemed to touch the dark, heavy clouds that were gathering in the sky, signalling that a storm was likely on its way.But despite the chaos outside, his thoughts were drifting elsewhere, tangled in a web of worries and concerns. Suddenly, he heard the door behind him swing open, jolting him back to the present moment."I don’t want to be disturbed right now, so leave," he commanded, his voice resonating through the spacious room without him even glancing back to see who it was. "I'm afraid I can't do that," came a confident reply.It was Elene. At first, he had thought it might be his personal assistant, but he quickly realised that Elene barging in without knocking was her usual style, so he shou

“Where are we headed, Anika?” Serena inquired, glancing over at her friend as she settled into the passenger seat. The two of them were side by side, the anticipation in the air palpable.Anika beamed with a hint of mischief in her eyes. “It’s a surprise.”“From who? Frederick?”“Let’s just say it’s from me for now,” Anika replied playfully.Serena nudged her gently, a smile spreading across her face. “I know it’s from him.”“Wow, great job ruining the surprise!” Anika feigned annoyance, but her laughter betrayed her.Serena chuckled. “Well, it’s my surprise, isn’t it?”“Oh, I bet you’ll be so thrilled. I can’t wait for you to see it,” Anika said, her tone teasing.As they drove on, their banter continued, weaving through light-hearted jabs and laughter. The road stretched ahead, and with each passing moment, Serena’s curiosity grew. “Anika, come on, just give me a hint! Is it something I’ll love?”“Maybe. Or maybe it’s something that will make you question my taste,” Anika replied,

Serena walked back and forth in her room, her finger nervously between her teeth. Every now and then, she glanced out the window, hoping to see Frederick arriving, but each passing moment brought her more disappointment.Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. “Come in,” she called out, already knowing it was Anika. As Anika entered, Serena could see the worry etched on her face.“Are you still waiting for him?” Anika asked, her concern evident in her voice. Serena paused her pacing and turned to face her friend.“Don’t worry about me, Anika. You really should get some sleep,” she replied, trying to brush off the concern.Anika let out a sigh, clearly not convinced. “I feel like I should be the one telling you that. I really doubt Frederick will believe everything the internet says, so why are you letting it bother you so much?”“But it’s true, Anika. I really did meet with Arlo,” Serena said, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and uncertainty.“But there really wasn’t anyt

“Get your hands off me this instant,” Arlo shouted, struggling to break free from Frederick's tight grip on his neck.But Frederick remained unmoved. “For Christ's sake, I didn’t insult the boy, so fucking let me go!”Frederick finally released his hold on Arlo but warned him in a low, menacing voice, “I don’t want to hear my son's name come out of your filthy mouth again”“And about this?” Frederick said, slamming a file down on the table in front of Arlo. “You better clean up this mess.”Arlo hesitated for a moment, eyeing the file suspiciously before he picked it up and opened it. Inside were photos of him and Serena that had gone viral, along with more photos.“Where did you even get this?” he asked, pausing to let out a laugh. “You really think I’m behind this shit, don’t you?”Frederick leaned back into his chair, his anger still clearly visible on his face. “You care too much about your reputation to get caught up in a scandal, so you probably didn’t start this. But now, it’s y

There was a gentle knock on Frederick's door that stirred him from his sleep. Blinking away the remnants of slumber, he rubbed his eyes and got up to wash his face, wanting to look more awake before he answered the door.When he came out of the bathroom, he was taken aback to find Serena standing beside the door, like she just came in, holding a tray filled with food. The tray contained smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel, fresh fruit salad with exotic fruits and a pot of gourmet tea with a teacup beside it.“Hey,” she greeted him with an awkward smile.Noticing his reaction, she explained, “I knocked earlier, but since you didn’t respond, I figured you might still be asleep. So, I thought I’d just drop this off and head out.”Frederick stepped closer, taking the tray from her hands and placing it on the table next to his large bed.He asked, “What made you get up so early?”“I thought if I wanted to see you, I needed to wake up early so I wouldn’t have to deal with the disapp

The day following the release of the controversial article, Frederick took swift action by having it removed. In its place, a new article was published, clarifying the nature of the relationship between Arlo and Serena. This article emphasised that they had been long-time friends and asserted that there was nothing romantic occurring between them.As the situation unfolded, a wave of additional evidence emerged, with numerous individuals who claimed to have known Arlo and Serena for years stepping forward to comment on the posts. Their affirmations lent credibility to the article's claims, reinforcing the idea that the friendship was genuine and platonic.Ultimately, all this was Arlo's doing and steed to clear the scandal and as a result, the controversy gradually faded away.But the mansion where Serena lived still felt heavy with tension in the air. The conversation she had with Frederick just the other day lingered between them, unresolved and hanging in the silence. Frederic

Serena stepped out of her sleek black car, flanked by her attentive bodyguards, and entered the prestigious "Elysium Couture" boutique. The interior was a lavish display of crystal chandeliers, plush velvet seating, and racks adorned with the latest designer collections from around the world. The air was filled with the scent of delicate perfumes, adding to the luxurious ambiance of the boutique.As Serena made her way through the boutique, she noticed the impeccable attention to detail in the exquisite displays and the attentive staff ready to cater to every need. The reputation of "Elysium Couture" as a haven for the elite and discerning clientele was evident in every corner of the boutique.She wondered why Seraphina had asked to meet here. But that wasn't the pressing issue. What was so important that Seraphina wanted to talk about?Finally, She spotted Seraphina trying on a stunning dress, her posture exuding elegance and sophistication.Seraphina caught sight of Serena in the

“Why would you make that choice? Did Arlo ask you to do that?” Serena questioned, already feeling a wave of nausea wash over her as the conversation continued.“No, he didn’t,” Seraphina replied with a strong conviction. “This is a decision I made on my own.”“I can’t take care of a child right now. I don’t think I’m capable enough,” she admitted, her voice trembling slightly.Serena let out a scoff, “That’s your reason? Is that really the only thing holding you back? You couldn’t even let Arlo take care of them?”“Do you really believe Arlo would step up to do that?” Seraphina shot back, her tone sharp.“Regardless of what he might do, what you chose is simply wrong, Seraphina!” Serena insisted, frustration evident in her voice.“Don’t act like you understand what it means to have a child,” Seraphina retorted, her eyes narrowing. “You’re not in a position to judge me.”After that, Serena fell silent. She definitely knew what it felt like to raise a child when the father was either ab

It was a beautiful wedding day, set in a charming open area surrounded by tall, swaying palm trees that gently rustled in the warm breeze. The sun shone brightly, casting a soft glow over the small gathering of finely decorated chairs and tables. The decorations were simple yet elegant, perfectly complementing the serene atmosphere. White linen draped gracefully over golden chairs, each adorned with delicate sprigs of greenery and small white flowers, adding a touch of nature to the setting. A golden arch stood at the front, decorated with flowing white fabric and clusters of vibrant blooms in soft pastel colours. The small tables were dressed in light-coloured tablecloths, each holding a single vase filled with fresh flowers, bringing a pop of colour to the scene. Flickering candles were placed on the tables, ready to light up as the sun began to set, casting a warm and inviting glow. Steadily, the guests began to find their seats, creating a cozy atmosphere filled wit

SIX MONTHS LATER “There has once again been a notable increase in the stock sales of the F&S corporation, which is currently in partnership with the well-known Te-Sumi company. The stocks are rising at a remarkably fast pace, and it is advisable for anyone interested to—”The driver lowered the volume of the radio as the passenger he was carrying wanted to make a phone call.Seated behind him was Mr. Te-Sumi, accompanied by another man who was the one making the call. After finishing his conversation, the man turned to his boss, Mr. Te-Sumi.“I believe we don’t need to attend the meeting anymore, sir,” the man said confidently. Mr. Te-Sumi raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was curious and wanted to hear more about this statement.“Mr. Sullivan has finally woken up. With that, there’s no longer a need for us to meet with the board to discuss the idea of bringing in a new chairman,” the man explained, a hint of relief in his voice.Mr. Te-Sumi nodded in understanding. “I see your p

Serena slowly opened her eyes to find herself staring at a bright white ceiling. A delicate chandelier hung gracefully from above, casting soft light around the room. She felt the tightness of an oxygen mask over her face, and a wave of dizziness and nausea washed over her. Confusion filled her mind as she wondered, where was she?It was obvious she was in a hospital ward, the sound of a beeping monitor beside her providing a rhythmic backdrop to her thoughts. She attempted to sit up, but her body felt heavy and unresponsive. What had happened to her?As she lay there, still and quiet, her memories began to flood back. She recalled the terrifying moment when Elene had her in a chokehold, while Frederick desperately tried to save her. She remembered they were talking a lot, but Serena could barely hear them as she struggled to break free from Elene’s tight grip. That was when Elene shot her and she collapsed.She attempted to lift her body once again, but it felt impossible. “Troy?

A scoff slipped out from Elene’s lips. “After all these years, Frederick, it really took you this long to remember?”“You’ve changed so much,” he replied, trying to process his memories.“I had to change. It was necessary for me to stay close to you without raising any suspicions. Now, where were we? Ah, yes. I was about to ask you to leave peacefully, or else it won’t just be Serena who gets hurt.”Frederick let out a sigh. “I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t leave her.”Elene’s expression hardened, her brows knitting together in fury. “Oh, so you’re declaring war between us right now, are you?”“There won’t be any war, Elene. You need to let Serena go, and we can sort out whatever issues we have between us, like—”But before he could finish, a loud gunshot rang out, followed by a piercing scream from Serena. Elene had shot her in the other leg.“Serena!” Frederick shouted, sprinting towards her despite Elene now aiming the gun at him. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, Fred

After the reunion, Frederick turned to one of the men who had come with him and instructed him to take Dhoti and Troy outside for their safety until he could return with Serena.However, Dhoti was not on board with this plan. “I want to go with you. Serena is still somewhere in here and I can't just leave her behind,” she said, her voice filled with desperation and concern.“Sir,” one of the armed men called out to Frederick, “the rest of our team has arrived.”Frederick nodded in acknowledgment. “Make sure to inform them to carefully observe the entire building. Search every nook and cranny and ensure that everyone is accounted for,” he instructed the man, who then stepped away to communicate via a burner phone.Frederick then turned his attention to Dhoti, speaking earnestly, “I care for Serena just as much as you do– and I love her deeply. You have to trust me, Dhoti. I will bring her back safely.”Dhoti hesitated for a moment, weighing her options, but eventually nodded, albeit re

The room was cast in a soft, dim light, but the entrance remained shrouded in shadows. As the figure who had spoken stepped further inside, the first thing that caught Serena's eye was a striking head of red bobbed hair.That alone made Serena freeze on the spot, confusion setting over her as a sense of realisation and surprise washed her.As the light illuminated the person’s face, Serena confirmed it– Elene.Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. “It’s you?” she whispered, still grappling with the shock of seeing her.Troy pulled his mother closer to him, clearly frightened by the familiar face that had just emerged. Serena noticed his reaction and shot a fierce glare at Elene.“What have you done to my son?” she demanded, her voice laced with anger and fear.Elene simply smiled, a chilling expression that sent shivers down Serena's spine. “Oh him? Well, let me see how I can explain this. We had a little game, and he pissed me off, so I decided t

Serena slowly opened her eyes to the soft sound of a child sniffling, the unmistakable sound of someone who had been crying. The pain from the gunshot wound in her leg was still very much present, and she winced as she tried to push herself into a sitting position. This place was unlike the dark and terrifying environment where she had been held captive before. Instead, it was a small room that felt almost normal, featuring a bed, a lamp casting a warm glow, and a table with a chair tucked into one corner. As she looked around, she realised she found herself lying on the floor next to the bed. What struck her as odd was that she wasn’t tied up in any way, though the pain in her leg already made it impossible for her to escape. Perhaps that was the reason she had been shot in the first place.Once again, she heard the low sniffles and turned her gaze toward the bed. There, she saw a little boy with brown hair, curled up and crouched on the mattress. He was crying quietly, his small

Serena's GPS was being tracked, and Frederick wasted no time in following the signal to locate her. The FBI had already been alerted and were getting ready to offer any sort of assistance to Frederick.Frederick pressed down on the accelerator, weaving in and out of traffic as he sped down the highway, the screen in his car displaying Serena's location. His mind was racing, but he pushed aside any thoughts about who might be behind this or why it was happening. All that mattered was finding Serena before it was too late.Eventually, he arrived at a rundown old road that forced him to slow down due to the many potholes and bumps. The area around him was desolate, a perfect setting for something sinister like a kidnapping to take place. Deep down, he felt a mix of hope and fear, praying that Serena had remembered to take her phone with her and hadn’t left it behind somewhere. That phone was the key to tracking her down in this desperate situation.Suddenly, a figure stumbled into the
The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal chapter 70
Serena pulled up to a deserted road and turned off the engine. Stepping out of the car, she looked straight ahead. This was the end of the road for her. In front of her was a bushy path, and she had no idea where it would lead.This was the path she was meant to take. The strange voice from the call she had received earlier instructed her to walk down this trail until she reached a building. Only then would she be able to save her son, Troy.Whoever had called her was the same person who had kidnapped Troy and Dhoti. They had already released Dhoti, which made it clear that the kidnapper was only interested in Troy. But why? This had to be connected to her in some way, but she couldn't understand the reason behind it.Serena couldn’t help but dig through her memories, trying to recall if there was anyone she had seriously upset in the past. However, no one came to mind.This could only mean that this person was likely connected to Frederick. Perhaps they were Frederick's enemy, and si
