The Billionaire's Unexpected Soulmate. Chapter 24
I was done with shopping and was on my way out when I bumped into someone. “What the fuck? Are you blind?” I began to say, my irritation flared up instantly. But then I looked down to see who it was. My heart skipped a beat as I recognized him—the guy from the video Marah had sent me a while back. Wait, why was he with so many sanitary products? I thought to myself, confusion mixing with my anger. He paused for a little bit, clearly annoyed. I could tell he was in a hurry, too preoccupied to confront me or ask any questions. He bent over and started collecting the items back into the shopping basket. For a moment, I just stood there, frozen, watching him. Should I help him? Or should I just walk away and pretend this never happened? My curiosity got the better of me. “Do you need some help?” I asked, trying to sound casual, though my heart was pounding in my chest. He glanced up, his eyes locking mine for a second. There was a flicker of recognition, but he quickly looked away, fo

I was about to get into my car when I saw her. She was dressed in a long, flowy gown that hugged her figure gracefully, held in place by a thin string of fabric around her neck. Her bare back was exposed down to her waist, and her hair was styled in a fancy low bun that concealed most of her thick, black hair. The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow on her, making her look like a goddess.Everything faded into the background as I focused on her. I was about to run towards her when I noticed the person walking just behind her. It was the guy from the store earlier, his face serious and alert. He was holding a large package, properly sealed on all sides, and his eyes were scanning the area suspiciously. As far as I knew, she didn’t have a bodyguard.He looked straight at me, his gaze sharp, and grabbed Serena by the waist, pulling her closer to him. His hand moved down her bare back, resting just where the fabric stopped covering her bum. Serena looked momentarily startled but quickly

SerenaEverything was happening so fast. First, I woke up in Owen’s house with blurry memories of the previous night. And to make matters worse, I was completely naked, and so was he. My flow chose the worst time to come. I really wanted to leave right away, but he wouldn’t let me. Imagine my shock when I found the doors locked. Like, how could he? Was I a prisoner now? Apparently, he went to the store to get me some sanitary materials.He was sweet and calm, and it was hard to believe that this was the same man who was tough and hard on me the previous night. To avoid trouble and keep him from asking unexpected questions, I pretended to be too weak to have a long conversation and decided to leave for home as soon as I could.“Where did you hide my clothes? I have a portrait to deliver today, and I need to stop by my studio, pick it up, and head to the apartment to make the delivery,” I said, looking squarely at him. He didn’t say a word to me. He just walked to the kitchen and poured

Damian That night, I tried reaching Serena, but each time I called, it was sent straight to voicemail. Anxiety gnawed at me, but I tried to focus on other things. After a quick shower, I planned to call again later. Just as I was about to sit down, my phone rang. It was Fiona. She sounded urgent and asked to meet for a drink as soon as possible. I agreed, knowing that I could use the distraction and some company. As I got ready to head out, I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that hung over me. I grabbed my keys and headed to our usual spot, a cozy bar downtown where we often met to unwind. When I arrived, Fiona was already there, nursing a glass of wine. Her face was tense, and she looked as if she had been crying. "What's going on?" I asked, taking a seat beside her. Fiona took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes. "It's about Serena," she said, her voice trembling. "I think she's in trouble." My heart sank. "What do you mean? What kind of trouble?" Fiona explained that sh

Owen Serena was taking longer than she should have in the restroom, and I was beginning to think she had bailed on me. We had just finished the meeting when I saw someone dragging Serena into another room. I picked up my drink and hurried to catch up with him. “I see you’re having a lot of fun,” I said, gritting my teeth. He shrugged. “Bro, don’t worry about her, okay? She won’t remember a thing.” I ran my tongue against my teeth, trying my best to contain my anger, or I would turn this into the biggest bloodbath in history.“Bro,” I repeated. “What did you do to her?” “I just knocked her out a bit. Not that she is going to die or anything.” “You have the fucking mind to knock my girl out? And admitting it?” I let out a bitter laugh. “She’s not going to die. But you sure as fuck are.” I strode toward him, grabbing the side of his head and dragging him, until I could slam him into the mirror on the other side of the room. Dizzy, he stumbled back and fell onto the dirty carpet.

OwenThe first light of dawn filtered through the curtains as I watched Serena sleep peacefully. Her breathing was steady, and the color had started to return to her cheeks. I had done what I could to keep her safe through the night, but I knew she needed more care than I could provide alone. Carefully, I scooped her up in my arms, her body light and fragile against me, and carried her out to my car. She barely stirred as I settled her into the passenger seat, fastening the seatbelt around her.The drive to her home was quiet, filled only with the soft hum of the engine and the occasional murmur from Serena. Her house was a modest, two-story building nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The flowerbeds in front were meticulously cared for, which showed her mother's love for gardening. I parked in the driveway, took a deep breath, and gently lifted Serena from the car.Her mother, Mrs. Johnson, opened the door before I could knock. Her eyes widened with worry as she saw Serena in my arms. "

Damian A few days after another awkward encounter with Marah, I decided to visit Serena. It had been a while since we had a proper conversation, and I knew I needed to clear the air. The tension and the unsaid words between us had been gnawing at me, and I couldn't bear it any longer. Plus, I needed to apologize for being distant and explain what had been going on in my life. When I arrived at Serena's place, Mrs. Johnson greeted me warmly at the door, her motherly smile easing some of the tension I felt. "Damian! It's good to see you, dear. Serena is just finishing up in the kitchen. She'll be out in a moment," she said, ushering me inside. I waited in the living room, my thoughts racing. When Serena finally emerged, her face lit up with a smile that made my heart ache. "Hey, Damian. It's been a while," she said, hugging me tightly. "Yeah, it has," I replied, hugging her back. "I was wondering if you'd like to go out tonight. Just the two of us. There's something I need to talk

The evening had been perfect. After a delightful dinner at a cozy Italian restaurant, Serena and I decided to extend our time together by having a few glasses of wine at a nearby wine bar. The place was warm and inviting, with dim lighting and soft jazz playing in the background. We found a small table near the window, where the city lights created a picturesque backdrop that added to the intimate atmosphere. As we sipped our wine, the conversation flowed effortlessly. Serena looked relaxed, her guard down for the first time in a while. I couldn't help but take in every detail: the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed, the way she absentmindedly twirled a strand of hair around her finger, the warmth of her smile that seemed to light up the entire room. "This place is lovely," Serena said, taking another sip of her Merlot. "I can't believe I've never been here before." "I'm glad you like it," I replied, swirling my glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. "I thought it might be a nice change

I rushed home, my mind still reeling from the events at the hospital. The drive felt endless, and by the time I pulled into the driveway, the weight of the night hung heavily on my shoulders. I needed to talk to my dad, to figure out what was going on with my frozen accounts and, more importantly, to find a way to help Serena. As I opened the front door, I was greeted by the sound of laughter coming from the living room. My heart sank a little when I recognized Marah's voice mingling with my father's. I walked in to find them sitting together on the couch, engaged in what seemed to be a very lively conversation. Marah's eyes sparkled with amusement, and my father was laughing heartily, a sight that was both comforting and disconcerting. "Dad, can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked, trying to keep my tone even despite the turmoil inside me. My father looked up, his expression shifting from joy to concern as he saw the seriousness on my face. "Of course, son. Excuse me, Marah." Ma

Damian I had just settled into bed, the day's exhaustion finally catching up to me, when my phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, I saw it was Godwin. We hadn't spoken in a while, and the urgency in his voice was palpable the moment I answered. "Damian, it's Serena. She's hurt. I'm rushing her to the hospital. Meet me there in five minutes," he said, not waiting for my response before hanging up. Adrenaline surged through me as I jumped out of bed, grabbed my keys, and raced out of the apartment. My thoughts were a whirlwind of fear and worry. Serena—God, please let her be okay. I couldn't lose her. Not now, not ever. The drive to the hospital was a blur. I barely remember the traffic lights or the turns I took. My mind was entirely focused on getting to Serena as quickly as possible. I prayed silently, hoping against hope that she would be safe, that this was all some terrible misunderstanding. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Owen running through the door, his face etched

I hesitated outside Damian’s door, holding his cardigan tightly. Sunlight streamed through the hallway windows, casting a warm glow. I wondered if I should leave the cardigan at his door or knock and give it back in person. There was clear tension between us, and Damian’s obvious dislike for me made things a bit more complicated. Just as I was about to turn and leave, the door suddenly opened. My heart skipped a beat as I found myself face-to-face with Damian. He stood there shirtless, wearing only a pair of loose trousers that hung low on his hips. His skin glistened with water droplets from a recent shower, and he was in the process of drying his hair with a towel. I froze in surprise, unable to tear my eyes away from the sight. His bare chest was toned and muscular, the water droplets catching the morning light and making his skin look almost golden. The damp strands of his hair clung to his forehead, and the scent of his soap—a mix of fresh pine and something citrusy—wafted towa

I slipped out of bed, still clutching Damian's cardigan, and tiptoed to the door. Pressing my ear against it, I listened intently, my breath held tight. After a few tense moments, there was another creak, followed by a faint shuffling sound. Someone was definitely out there. My mind raced. Should I open the door and confront whoever it was? Should I call for help? My phone was still on the bedside table, and the idea of leaving the relative safety of my room to fetch it seemed daunting. I decided to peek through the peephole instead, hoping to catch a glimpse of whoever was lurking outside. I slowly and quietly unlatched the door, opening it just enough to peer through the small glass circle. My blood ran cold as I saw a shadowy figure standing at the end of the hallway. The figure seemed to be looking directly at my door, unmoving and eerie in the dim light. My breath caught in my throat, and I quickly closed the door, locking it as silently as I could. I backed away, my mind raci

Marah The ride up the elevator had been a nightmare, but Damian's presence had been my anchor. Even now, back in my apartment, my heart pounded with residual fear, my hands still shaking as I closed and locked the door behind me. I glanced around my dimly lit living room, half-expecting to see a shadowy figure lurking in the corners. But there was nothing. Just the usual mess of my life scattered across the floor. The cardigan Damian had given me was still wrapped tightly around my shoulders, its warmth and scent providing an unexpected comfort. I buried my nose in the fabric, inhaling deeply. It smelled like him— a mix of sandalwood and something else that was uniquely Damian. The scent was intoxicating, calming my frazzled nerves more than I cared to admit. I kicked off my shoes and wandered into my bedroom, the events of the night playing over and over in my mind. Who had been following me? And why? The fear in Damian's eyes when he saw me must have mirrored my own. He had been

The doors opened, and I stepped inside, leaning against the cool metal wall. Just as the doors were about to close, they jolted to a stop. Someone had pressed the button in a hurry. The doors slid open again, and there she was—Marah. Her eyes were wide with terror, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. She didn't say a word, just hopped in and immediately closed the door behind her. The tension in the air was palpable, and I could feel my heart rate picking up. "Marah, what's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. She shook her head, clutching her arms around herself. "I... I don't know. Something's wrong. I felt like someone was following me." Her fear was contagious, and I found myself scanning the elevator for any signs of danger. The numbers above the door ticked up slowly, and we both watched them in tense silence. Halfway through the ride, the elevator shuddered to a halt. The lights flickered, and then we were plunged into darkness. Marah let out a small,
