The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: THE GUEST
KIMI couldn't bring myself to look Nathan in the eyes after we left the small office. It's almost dinner time and we need to go back home.I touched my swollen lips, still unable to believe what had just happened. ‘Nathan just kissed me, Nathan just kissed me’ I chant to myself, the sound of it so surreal.What the hell just happened? How did we end up like that?‘I know you want this too’ he had told me. I flushed brightly. I peek at him behind my lashes. He is back to his calm and composed self, unlike me, who is still struggling with the aftermath.He said you wanted it, but he never said he wanted it silly. My subconscious mind is at it again, sneering at me.Maybe she needs to be optimistic sometimes, and I need to stop overthinking like Phoebe had said.I took another peek at him beneath my lashes; he was engaged in small talk with the stable manager, and as if he noticed my eyes on him, he glanced towards me, and our eyes met. I look away immediately, feeling colour rising t

KIMThe evening continued quietly. Everyone was busy with whatever they had on their plate. The table was covered in all sorts of expensive seafood delicacies. They all look scrumptious and pleasing to the eyes. No doubt The Pearce Mansion must house a seasonal chef. The food is beautifully arranged like it was only meant for decorating the table, something you see in luxurious restaurants and hotels.Nathan passed me a plate of carefully peeled Alaskan spot prawns, surprising me. I glanced up, and I noticed I wasn't the only one surprised; everyone was looking at us. Could he have known it was my favourite seafood? He wasn't bluffing when he said he knew a lot more about me than I could have imagined. I thought since Sassy was present, he'd go back to his usual self, minding his own business. But he was quite attentive. As soon as I reach out to take plates close to him, he will pass them to me or scoop out some for me.Maybe I was too judgemental. “When are you both going to g

KIMI walked out of the bathroom and ducked my head so no one could see the tears on my face. Damn you, Nathan, damn you!I ran upstairs into my room and shut the door with a loud bang that shook the artwork that was hanging on the wall.I lean against the door and put my head in my hands. What did I expect? He doesn't love me, and he has said that. Why did I dare that bitch? Why didn't I just ignore her and go back to my food? Tears pooled in my eyes, blurry my sight and they rolled down unrestrained, Unwelcomed. I sank to the ground, furious that I had expectations, that I dared to imagine things, that I had hoped that our relationship would become better after yesterday, after the kiss today.Damn you, Kim!I hit the back of my head against the wall, and again, and again, harder this time until I felt the pain. I bring my knees to my chest and fold my arms around it, holding tight as my tears continue to roll down uncontrollably. Stupid, you're crying over spilt milk. My subconsc

NATHAN She captured my lips with hers, kissing me fiercely. But I didn't feel anything. I searched my heart for the hint, for a sign that backed up her claim but found nothing. I'm blank. Unlike when I was kissing Kim, I had a series of emotions I can't control, that I can't describe. Shit Kim! I push her away, and she staggers backwards, surprised. “Sassy stop this! Is this the reason why you ask me to follow you here?” My eyes were cold and distant. She can't keep doing this all the time we met. She can not keep acting Like she desperately wants me when she was the one who left with a word “Nathan….I….do you love her?” “You're not in a position to judge what I feel Sassy. I respect you as a friend, because of what you've done for me in the past. But I'm married now, I have a wife. And I wouldn't want her to walk in on something like this. Don't do it next time, please” I said and turned around to walk away. “She doesn't care. She doesn't care about you”. I stop in my track

NATHAN “Where's Kim?” My dad's cold voice had me frozen in a spot.I whirl around to face him, his face looks calm and composed, not for long anyway. “She left,” I said curtly, not wanting to go into details. He chuckled loudly and his voice echoed down the quiet hall. “She left? Or she's missing and you can't find her” Of course, he knew. It's his house, he will always know what is going on every second of the day. “She left…..and I can't reach her. But I'm going to find her”He walked closer to me, standing just a couple of inches away. He is a little bit shorter than I am but he still manages to intimidate me. His lips twitch and his brows furrowed in anger. “I told you to treat her right” “And I'm trying my best,” I replied through gritted teeth. He scoffs. “Trying your best? In two and a half years? Is this all you've got?”“Dad…I'm trying—”“Walk with me,” he said curtly, cutting me off and walking away down the hall.“No, I have to look for Kim”. He stopped in his tracks

NATHAN I arrived at Boston Logan International Airport by 10 pm. The flight is scheduled for 10:30 pm but it's going to be delayed for another two hours. One of the many reasons why I don't fly public transport. I need to make sure this never happens again. There must always be a bird and a jet on standby in case of emergencies. I sat in the deserted private lounge of the first class. There's a guy three rows behind me to my right. He is deeply immersed in whatever he's doing, typing away furiously like he has a beef with the keyboard. Another couple sits directly behind me. They seem lost in their own world as they cuddle and say flirty words to each other. The sound of their giggling makes me think of Kim. The way she blushes, the way she smiles secretly, the way her eyes convey her thoughts, the way she looks at me with passion, love, and lust. A smile curved my lips at the memories. The couple behind me suddenly went silent, I could hear some weird sound coming from behind m

KIMI walk to the ceiling-height glass window that overlooks the city below. With Boston at my feet, everything looks peaceful from up here, away from the bustling streets, polluted air, angry drivers, far away from Nathan. Would he even notice that I'm gone? Will he try to find me? The thought wandered into my mind, and I kicked it out immediately. I had promised myself on the way here that I wouldn't think about him and I wouldn't cry anymore.“Would you like anything to eat? I will call the room service.” Giovanni asked. Just about two hours ago, before I called him, I was hungry, looking for Nathan so he could fix me something to eat before I saw something I had desperately wished for the last two hours that I had not seen.Luckily, Giovanni was in Quincy for business, which is just a 45-minute drive to Dover. We met up at Centre Street and drove all the way down to Boston. “No. I'm fine for now, thank you” I said without looking at him.“Okay, if you need anything, I will be

KIMBefore I could think clearly, I pulled Gio closer and kissed him. I feel him freeze beneath my kiss. His lip was rigid and cold, but after a while, it began to move. And he kissed me back.I hear Nathan inhale sharply, and the temperature drops a couple of degrees more, but I do not bother to break free from Gio; I run my hand through his smooth, long hair and deepen the kiss. It felt different. The opposite of what I felt with Nathan. I didn't feel any desire pooled down between my thighs, and I certainly did not feel any jolt of electric current. I feel nothing. Phoebe is wrong, I did not like Gio, but I could use him to get back at Nathan. I know it's selfish, I know it's wrong to toy with Gio's emotions. But I already said it. Tonight is not the night for logical reasons. I break free from Gio’s kiss, trying to catch my breath.I looked at Nathan, he looked pale and his eyes were red. Opposite of what I had expected. I expected him to be mad, furious even, but the look of p

The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: CPR OR 911?
PHOEBE I was lost in my world, trying to wrap my head around Kim's outburst about my failed relationship when I suddenly heard a scream.It was Nathan. The scream was sudden, and it hid a tremendous amount of untold pain. When I looked towards him, he was already on the floor, holding his head and sobbing loudly. ‘Isn't that an exaggeration?’ I thought. She only hit him once; why is he on the floor pretending to be dying? Surely, one slap can not kill you, right?But he wasn't pretending, maybe he was dying for real.I rush to his side, calling his name, but he seems to be losing consciousness. “Nathan! Nathan!” I called frantically, but I got no response. I immediately went into a panic. My breathing becomes ragged, and my hands tremble anxiously. I have little knowledge when it comes to an emergency like this, and I don't know how to give proper CPR.“Fuck!” I cursed, regretting not paying enough attention in science class.I put my finger against his nose, trying to feel his br
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: TALE REPEATS ITSELF
NATHANI drove at one hundred kilometres per hour towards Eleon Interior Designs company.I need to see Kim and talk to her. Talking to her will let me know what she's thinking, and that way, I can figure out how to convince her to withdraw the petition. Is she not taking this too far? I should be the one angry that she kissed another man in front of me, yet I'm the one getting shitty treatment from her.Ever since our departure in Boston, she has not gone home nor slept at home. She hasn't called me and tried to fucking give me some explanation.‘But you also kissed someone else’ I thought “At least I tried to give her an explanation!” I said through gritted teeth, defending myself Is she that desperate to leave me for another man? I tighten my hold on the wheel, feeling rage run through my veins. I know I messed up, I know I had hurt her by neglecting her. But that's it. I did not date another woman, and neither did I intentionally kiss another woman.Okay, sassy kissed me once
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: DIVORCE PETITION
NATHAN Okay, this is weird and certainly not the time to fall in love! These two are obviously in their own world, oblivious to my existence in the room. “Are…you…okay? Will stutter, fumbling with words. He has been doing a lot of things, unlike him today. He rarely gets mad at me, and he has high confidence when he's around girls, so he never stutters. Phoebe struggled to her feet; her cheek had turned beet red, blushing from… embarrassment? I don't know. “Forgive my clumsiness”, She said and hurried out of the room, probably forgetting the reason why she came in the first place. Then the door flew open again with a bang, and she was at the door pointing her index finger at me with blazing eyes. “N…Nathan, I will come back for you!” she muttered through gritted teeth. Then she sneaked a peek towards Will’s side and noticed his eyes on her. She blushed different shades of pink and ran out of the room, leaving Will stunned in the same position. I glanced towards him; his mo
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: THE HEARTBREAK
NATHAN It had been a week since Kim had kissed that Italian guy. One week and the image of that night is still vivid in my mind; the pain still hurts as if it was just yesterday. I have tried everything to forget that night, but I still can't bring myself to leave Sunset Hills, where I have been drinking myself away.No matter how I chastise myself and tell myself how damaging drinking alcohol is, I still can't control myself from gulping another cup. No matter how bashed up I was the previous night, I still returned to the bar the following morning. “Are you planning to kill yourself here and ruin business for me!” Will yelled, upon entering the VVIP room. He stormed across the room and snatched the bottle I was about to drink from. He proceeded to clear all the empty bottles, unopened bottles and, including the ones I had abandoned halfway off my table. I didn't protest. I let him pack it all. That's what I need right now—someone who can get some sense into me.“I heard you have
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY THREE: THE BIZARRE DECISION
KIM I took the first flight to New York on Monday morning. Giovanni had left early to attend to business, and I have nothing to do back at the hotel, so I might as well just submerge myself into some work at the company. He had devoted the rest of Sunday to me, trying to cheer me up and lighten my mood. He took me for a walk at the Boston public garden, and we went window shopping at Cambridge antique flea market. It was fun , and soon, I had forgotten about the heartache I felt earlier that morning. The flight from Boston to New York only took about 2 hours so I arrived at the company early and to my greatest surprise, I met Sassy at the lobby, flipping through pages of our design collection magazine without a care in the world. A rush of rage flooded through me. The nerve of that lady to show her face around here. I tried to walk past her, pretending I didn't see her but she saw me. “Mrs Pearce” she called out. “Mrs Pearce, I have been waiting for you. Your subordinate wo
The Billionaire who doesn't love me CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: I WILL WIN HER BACK
NATHAN The heat of my rage boiled in my veins like molten lava, making sweat glistening my forehead. The lump in my throat is strangling me, making it extremely difficult for me to breathe. I had thought of a million possibilities with this Giovanni Ferraro guy, but never have I thought I would witness the scene in front of me. Kim had pulled the guy closer, kissing him passionately, cutting my words short. I wanted to tell her about my ailment and tell her that whatever she sees with Sassy is not real. I wanted to confide in her as my dad suggested, but before I could make out a word, she was already kissing this guy. The same guy whose picture Sassy had sent to me. The same guy I saw at our apartment building the day Kim went out dressing gorgeous with her suitcase. As much as I don't want to overthink her previous actions and clues here and there, this is something I can't get over. She broke from the kiss and looked at me without any guilt or remorse. Her gaze was clear, b
