The Billionaires Choice Chapter 33
OndinaA small older woman stood in front of her just a few inches shorter than herself. She extended her thin arm toward Ondina and stated in a thick French accent, "Mr. Lahsen left this for you." Accepting a sleek black envelope, Ondina stared at it in confusion. Before she could ask, the small woman turned and walked down the hallway. What did this boy do now? She closed the door behind her as she opened the envelope. A smile slowly spread across her face. Inside there was a note that read:There is a surprise waiting for you in the lobby.~ R.L. She gathered a few of her things. sge grabbed her phone, an extra hair tie, and her lip gloss before she headed to the lobby. Her heart skipped a beat as she walked down the hotels hallway leading to the elevators. She pressed the down button on the call panel and impatiently waited for the elevator to open up for her. Once inside, Ondina pulled out her phone and began to text Raphael. 'What are you up to??? What's the surprise?' Almo

OndinaOndina quickly dressed and made her way back through the lobby and onto the elevator. Her heart felt full. This was a new feeling for her and she wasn't sure if she could get used to this. She had felt so emotional and all over the place lately. Lost in thought, she almost missed her floor. Extending her arm out, she stopped the elevator from closing. She made her way safely back into their shared room. Making her way to the bedroom, she stopped in her tracks. As she stood in the doorway, she look at the bed in awe. On the bed lay a little black dress with a pair of black and gold Rene Caovilla heels.I'm telling you there's nothing wrong with this man! She walked over to the bed and admired the design of the shoes. She may not know designer, but Rene Caovilla, she knew from a magazine Camie had laying around the apartment. Ondina was bored out of her mind one day and decided to use it to kill time. Her laptop was down, making the possibility of working on her novel nonexistent

OndinaPanic filled every inch of Ondinas body. Her heart felt like it was gonna beat out of her chest and neck. She had to find a way out and fast. "What are you doing here?" Mason asked as he inched through the threshold. Ondina backed up trying to keep distance between them. Why is he here? This seemed to irritate Mason. "Why the hell do you keep acting funny whenever I run into you? Last time, you bolted out the door of Time Magazine. I was just being polite." He walked closer. She could see clear signs that he was becoming more agitated. Ondina continued to back up. I just need him to walk in a little further and then maybe I can get around him. Looking around the room, she only needed him to move in closer towards the couch and she would be able to move towards the side table and that would give her enough space to make a run for the door. She inched backwards some more. Moving deeper into the suite and giving him enough space to make it to the sofa. Just a little bit further

Ondina"Let m-me go!" She tried to sound stronger that she was but her voice only ended up sounding little and weak. "Only if you don't run." Mason responded. Ondina nodded in defeat. He began to loosed his grip on her arms and the pain began to ease. Once Mason backed away giving them enough room between them, he was tackled to the ground. "Wha-" He shouted on the way down. Everything was happening so fast and it only pushed Ondina completely over the edge. Everything came flooding in as she struggled to breath. Her chest was on fire, and felt like she would vomit at any moment. She watched as Raphael held Mason down with one knee and brought his fists down repeatedly into his face. Blood sprayed everywhere and that didn't seem to stop him. Stop... Ondina watched in horror as he continued to beat Mason. "Stop." Ondina whispered unable to speak any louder. Her limbs became a shaking mess and her legs gave way from under her. She hit the ground hard.

OndinaIt's been a week since the trip to Paris and Ondina still didn't know how to talk about it. She's been avoiding Raphael. He called every day and even stopped by her apartment but she refused to answer the phone or the door. She couldn't understand why she was being this way. It hurt her to stay away and yet it scared her to reach out. She knows what he did was only to protect her, but it still didn't take away the image. She just knew he was gonna kill him. She had never seen him so angry. Logically she knew that he was no danger to her but emotionally, she was traumatized. Why am I so weak? Ondina mentally kicked herself. He had been so gentle with her and patient. He had treated her with nothing but love and affection. He gave her security and he was nothing but open with her. So why did she treat him this way? She replayed their last conversation in her head. He had apologized to her and tried holding her hand, but she pulled away. She ignored every question about Mason and

OndinaThe weather was warm and light wind made it feel a bit chilly. As she walked to the subway station, she started to regret her outfit choice. She held her jacket closed and walked quickly down the stairs and made her way to her rout section. Boarding the sub, she relaxed a bit into the consistent warmed and then tensed up immediately when more people got on and cluttered the area she chose to sit. The entire ride there was packed. At one point, when some got off and more got on, Ondina got front row tickets to see "the mighty ninja spider". He literally called himself that. You can't make this shit up. He did all kinds of flips and spins on the bars along the roof of the sub and the poles in between. Some cheered and others yelled but Ondina just watched quietly, waiting on her stop so that she could get out of there. Finally off the subway, Ondina made her way out and up the stairs; walking the rest of the way to her destination. Finally she stood directly in front of the b

Ondina"Ondina." His soothing deep voice filled the room. Her heart and stomach jumped at the same time. He was standing at the far left corner of his office. She hadn't noticed the door that sat there before. He began to walk in her direction. His eyes looked cool and relaxed. His face was just as beautiful as she remembered but there was a different look to him. One she had never seen before. He looked... defeated? "Hey... I got your texts." Ondina started nervously. She was gonna say something else but by the look on his face she could tell that he was getting upset. Suddenly feeling exposed, she hugged herself trying to bring in some security. "So, you've read them?" His voice sounded flat. Ondina opened her mouth to respond but quickly closed it when he continued. "You've read them and you chose not to respond?" He looked at her expectantly. "Well...Um... I- I didn't know what to say." Ondina came all this way to talk to him but now with him in front of her and clearly upset

Ondina"I don't know what's wrong with me, but what I do know is that I love you." His eyes showed visible relief. His hand slid down her side and rested on her hip. She ignored the warmth that began to build between her legs. "I want to get better at communication. For you." Ondina needed him to understand her. She needed to know that he understood that she didn't mean she wanted to forget him. Raphael rested his free hand against her other hip and pulled her closer. "We can work on that." He leaned down moving closer to her face and looked directly at her. "Just don't disappear again." Desparation quickly returning to his eyes. Ondinas arms wrapped around his neck. "I promise." She stated. Unable to resist the temptation, she pressed her lips against his. Her heart bursted with passion and the heat between her legs throbbed. Raphael hands slid over her ass before he lifted her. He moaned into her mouth when his hand grazed her pantie line and she wraps her legs around him.

The Billionaires Choice Chapter 120
Five years later...I woke up to the ringing of an alarm clock. Like always, it was Ondina's. She had a million of them set for every ten minutes. What for? I had no idea, but today, it wasn't just an annoyance. It was a painful reminder of the chaos that was about to erupt. Fire year old twins were a force of nature. The ringing of the alarm grew louder. I groaned, reaching for the snooze button, but a gentle hand stopped me. "Don't even think about it," Ondina murmured, her voice laced with a sleepy smile. "The monsters will be here any minute."I still couldn't believe I was married to a woman so beautiful. Her dark hair was a tangled mess against the silk pillow and her eyes were still heavy with sleep, but the warmth radiating from her was undeniable. She was, indeed, my everything, and now, carrying our third child, she possessed a radiant glow that made my heart ache with a love so strong it sometimes felt like a physical weight."Monsters?" I teased, pulling her closer. "I

RaphaelI was just finishing up paperwork she my office door opened and in walked Celeste. She swung her hips a little too hard and she smelled of expensive perfume."Raphy, darling," she purred, the word sounding like a hiss on her tongue. "So good of you to see me.""Celeste," I replied.I was already annoyed and just wanted together this over with. "I wasn't aware I had a choice. Your unannounced visit last night hardly left me one."She ignored the chairs and sat her ass on the edge of my desk. Her crimson lips curved into a practiced pout. "Oh, don't be like that, Raphy. I just wanted to see you. To catch up."My jaw tightened. "Catch up? By crashing into my home, heavily intoxicated, and physically assaulting my wife?"Her perfectly practiced pout faltered and was replaced by a flicker of annoyance. "Ondina was being dramatic. It was merely a little… disagreement with her.""A disagreement that involved you grabbing her hair and screaming about how she stole your life?" "He

RaphaelThis could not be happening. Not tonight. Not when Ondina was finally happy. She lunged herself forward, trying to wrap her arms around my waist but I stiff armed her in the forehead."Celeste," I whispered."How did you find our- that doesn't matter." Trying to keep my voice calm I stated."You need to leave.""Leave?" she shrieked, Loud enough for the entire house to hear her. "Leave? After everything? After you promised me forever? You were supposed to be mine, Raphy!"Ondina appeared behind me, her face a mask of confusion and then, registration."How the fuck did you get here?" Ondina positioned herself between me and Celeste."Ondina!" Celeste shrieked again, pointing a wobbly finger in her face. "You! How does it feel living MY life?! I was supposed to be Mrs. Lahsen! I was supposed to live in this house! I was supposed to-" before she could continue, Ondina pushed her in the chest."Back up or I'll call the police!" Before Celeste could launch into another tirade, An

Raphael"Are you sure we can pull this off, Raf?" she asked, her voice tight as she surveyed the mountain of unopened boxes in the living room."The movers have it all covered, my love. Don't stress. " I kissed her forehead."It's just, with it being the twins' birthday, and the family dinner... it's all happening so fast." I could understand why she would be overwhelmed.not only was the twins birthday, it was also moving day. I wrapped my arms around her, burying my face in her beautiful curls. "Hey, breathe. We've got this, little flower. I'm here, aren't I? And besides, you're forgetting the cater we hired." She chuckled, some of the tension left her shoulders. "you're right. I'm over reacting. I need to calm down.""Exactly! Now, tell me, what's priority number one?""Getting Cam and Camie's play area set up. If they're happy, we're all happy." We exchanged smiles.She was right. Those two could bring the the sky down on us if they weren't happy, but they were the best kind of

MasonBreathing was becoming a task for me. Every breath hitched a ragged protest against the pain that I was feeling every day, but today... today was different. The air hung heavier. It was like I could feel my time running out. I knew. Today was the end, and Ondina words clung to my heart. "You're gonna die here, and no one will miss you." A sigh escaped my lips. I could tase the blood in my lungs. My vision was patchy and it burned to keep my eyes open. They had gotten used to the dark after months of being in it, but now, they were struggling against the glow of that one single bulb I hadn't know was there. Ondina forgot to turn it off and this was a new kind of torture.I was left here, visibly able to see just how far gone I was. In the dark, I couldn't see much detail of myself, but now, I could see everything. I was far from the man I used to be, and I had no one to blame but myself. Regret was a useless emotion now. A luxury I could no longer afford, but it was there and

OndinaHis face was gaunt, his eyes sunken and hollow. His hair was longer and his facial hair was unkept, like he hadn't shaves in months. His clothes were worn and filthy, clinging to his sickly frame. He looked like he hadn't eaten in months. He was looking up at her, his eyes wide with a flicker of... 'was it hope?'Ondina took a step back when the memories crashed down on her like a tidal wave of horror and pain.She could remember the fear, the sting of the restraints cutting into her skin, and the relentless torment. She could remember his cruel laughters as he had enjoyed her suffering and how he mocked her as she cried. The memory that paralyzed her the most was his haunting groans of Camilles name as he repeated it over and over again while he used her body for his own gratification. She remembered the agonizing pain of premature labor and the fear for her unborn children as the darkness swallowed her whole. She remembered every single detail.He had taken everything from he

OndinaThree days earlierAfter a sleepless night, Ondina watched as Anna cooed over the twins. "You're a lifesaver," Ondina said, forcing a smile. "I'll be back as soon as I can.""Take your time," Anna said, already distracted with a game of peek-a-boo. "They're in good hands."Ondina kissed each of her twins on the top of their heads she said her goodbyes. "Be good for Anna," she murmured, her voice thick with a mother's anxiousness."They'll be perfect angels, Onny, now shoo." Anna fanned Ondina towards the door.Ondina slipped out the door, her heart pounding in her chest. She drove carefully. Once she was on the highway, she pressed down on the accelerator. She was feeling every bit of anxious, but she needed answers. The drive was agonizing. Doubts gnawed at her. What if she was wrong? What if she was overreacting? But then she was flooded with the memory of the look on Raphael's face every time he told her he had a business trip, and her resolve hardened.Finally, she rea

RaphaelAs I stepped onto the balcony, the crisp morning air caressed my face. Sunrise bled across the horizon, painting the building tops in hues of rose and gold. It was a beautiful day. A perfect day, almost.Inside, Ondina was stirring, the soft laughter of our twins, was already filling the air, letting us know they were awake. The thought of them tugged a smile onto my face. Two perfect, healthy babies. I was truly blessed. After everything, we were finally moving forward in a positive direction.I leaned against the metal railing, the cold was slowly creeping into my hoodie, but I barely noticed. My gaze began to drift towards the light traffic beneath me as my thought began to consume me. It's bee six months. Six months that we've had him. Six months of torture, and I still didn't feel the satisfaction I though I would.Thomas stepped beside me, his face looked strained. "Coffee's on," he muttered he lit a cigarette with a shaky hand."When did you get her?" I asked, pushing

OndinaOndina stirred her tea as she stared aimlessly. Raphael's conversation with Thomas kept playing on repeat in Ondina's head. 'What is he hiding from me?' She felt desperate to know who was in that cabin, and why Raphael was so desperate to keep it secret that he would lie to her.Ondina knew Raphael wasn't always forthcoming, but this felt different. It felt deliberate, and it made her feel uncomfortable. Her gaze drifted to the two sleeping infants in their bassinets. Cameron looked so much like his father, and Camille was a miniature version of herself. They were the reason she needed to know. Their fragile, innocent lives deserved a foundation built on truth, not secrets.Taking a deep breath, Ondina reached for her phone. She scrolled through her contacts until she found Raphael's mother's number. She played out in her head what she wanted to ask, but had no idea how she should go about it. After a few minutes, she took a deep breath and dialed. after a few rings, his mother
