The Billionaires Choice Chapter 52
RaphaelDue to my retaliation on Mason three days ago, I have been held up in my office trying to find a way to resolve this scandal I've created for myself. Although my actions brought me satisfaction, the clean up after is beginning to make me feel that it may not have been worth- nah. It was worth it. My PR team has been working overtime trying to find a way to spin this in my favor, but I was beginning to believe that it would be best to publicly take accountability.Due to my actions, I have had a few investors pull out, worried about their reputations being tainted for doing business with me. It was understandable. This entire ordeal could be resolved if I could get Ondina to agree to allow me to expose Mason for the piece of shit he is. It would be an easy fix. But an easy fix would have to be disregarded if it would cause more pain and suffering to my little flower.This left me no choice but to try and find another way out of this mess. I took a deep breath and rested my head

Rapheal"Due to your poor parenting skills, your boy wronged someone I care about 7 years ago. Prom ring any bell?" I watched in anger as Mr. McCormick face flushed with shock coated in fear. I could tell he knew exactly what I meant."So, you're telling me you ruined my sons face over some high school infatuation?" He questioned sternly but I could see the guilt that betrayed his eyes."Mr. McCormick, you and I both know that rape isn't some high school infatuation." He looked at me stunned. Any resolve he had before, washing away with shame."'The McCormick's Harbors a Rapist' Now that would be quite the scandal. Your company is already in shambles. A blow like that would be the nail in the coffin."Admitting defeat, Mr. McCormick plopped down into one of the chairs that rested at the foot of my desk."What would you suggest?" he asked in a tone of disgust. Before I explained, I relaxed back into my chair and rested my arms against my desk."I'll buy you out, anonymously of course.

OndinaIt had been three days since she heard from Rapheal and the absence of him was beginning to cause her physical illness. She had to find out from Camille what had happened. It bothered her that he would choose to go through this alone. She felt useless. He had always been her rock, and once he was going through something, he shut her out. She wanted to be there for him, and it pained her to know that she wasn't who he confided in through a time like this. The media was relentless. On one side, he was being glorified for being so powerful and on the other end he was being torn down as an intitled billionaire who thought he could do anything. She wanted to defend him, but she had no idea how. She wanted to visit hm at his office, but Camille suggested she waited until her reached out because if she was recognized, it could probably add more stress than he needed right now. Ondina agreed with that statement. She had been corned quit a few times already just for being his girlfrie

OndinaOndina's heart pounded in her chest, as he deepened the kiss. Her legs wrapped around him as he walked through the threshold. With ease, he closed and locked the door behind him. He walked through her tiny apartment as if he knew his was round and finally broke away from her lips as he neared the hallway. "What door is yours?" Batting her eyelashes at him, she pointed towards her bedroom. Opening her room door, he entered and made his way to her bed. His eye holding an intense need as he gently put her down. Ondina had expected him to climb on top of her, but instead, he dropped to his knees and embraced her waist. She gently stroked his hair as his head rested against her chest. It was as if he was listening to her heartbeat. Perhaps he was. She could feel the tension in his body, and she felt nurturing towards him. He must be exhausted. He's been through so much these past three days. As she continued to stroke his hair, she heard a sigh break from his lips as his body fin

Celeste"Celeste, dear!" My grandmother's voice carried suspense as she emerged from the kitchen. She was nearing her nineties, but she still moved like she was in her fifties. I loved that about her. She was everything I aspired to be. Fabulously wealthy and had the health of a horse. I could only hope to age as well as she was. Her laugh lines deepening with the grin she threw my way. "Look who's here!" I grinned triumphantly at my secret success. I had managed to get my grandmother to invite Raphael over and damn, he was looking good as hell.There he was, tall dark and handsome, my Raphael. His russet eyes locked onto mine, a mixture of surprise and wariness flickering across his handsome features."Celeste," he greeted, his voice smooth yet distant. A shiver rushed through me; it’s been a while since I heard him say my name. I missed it so much.“ I didn’t know you would be here.” He looked at my grandmother knowingly.I quickly fixed my face, displaying a look of innocence an

CelesteRaphael's expression grew tight. "Yes, I am actually. In fact, I’m entertaining her very thoroughly." My cheeks grew hot at what he was saying. I could feel the rage building inside of me and I strained all that I had to keep my emotions from boiling over. How could he say that to me? Maybe he wanted to get a rise out of me? Either way, it hurt to hear and that stupid look in his eyes doubled it. Pushing my anger deep down I put on one of my best seductive smirks and leaned slightly towards him.“Aren’t you bored of her yet? You usually would have moved on already.” I purred as my hand playfully danced around my cup before I took a final sip of my tea.“That’s the thing” A look of admiration shined through his eyes as he spoke, making my stomach bubble. “I’m not bored, and if I’m being honest, I don’t see myself ever getting tired of her.” That revelation felt like a hot slap across my face. My heart dropped in disbelief. I knew what he meant but I pressed on.“What do yo

Raphael I stood on the balcony of my penthouse, leaning against the railing while the breeze gently blew my hair, making me jump slightly thinking it might have been a bug. Shit. Maybe I should get a haircut. The city stretched out before me, like a shimmering sea of lights as twilight settled in. I had always found solace in the heights, away from the world below, away from emails and phone calls, but tonight, my heart was restless.After four months with Ondina, every day seemed like an exploration into the depths of her world. Affection, vulnerability, and genuine connection was new territories I never thought I would navigate with her, but by some miracle, my little flower had finally pulled down her walls and let me in.I turned, catching a glimpse of her in the living room, the soft glow from the floor-to-ceiling windows framing her silhouette. Ondina was curled up on the couch with a book resting in her lap, her long curly hair cascading over the pages. She is just so damn b

Raphael We settled on the couch, her fingers grazing the stem of the wine glass as she took a sip. That subtle movement sent warmth through me, pulling at a familiar hunger that often arose whenever she was around. I could never get enough of her. I felt a tugging at my heart as my nerves built with anticipation. Fuck! Why am I so nervous? The time had finally come and here I am, a confident businessman but this moment, has got me in shambles. Rip the band aid off, Ralph! I took a deep breath as my heart pounded aggressively in my chest. With my stomach in knots, I began."Ondina," My voice steady yet tinged with emotion. "There's something I want to ask you."Her eyes met mine, wide and curious, making my nerves do somersaults in my stomach. "I’m all ears." She wore the sweetest smile on her lips as she waited completely unaware of how I was about to profess my love. Taking a deep breath, I grasped the small velvet box hidden in my pocket, and dropped down on one knee. It felt l

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
The Billionaires Choice Chapter 112
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
