The Billionaires Choice Chapter 77
Raphael "I..." Ondina started. It was as if my soul was about to jump out of my body. I didn't think she would reject me until this moment and the thought of that happening was eating away at my heart."Do!" She wore the biggest smile. The cows yelled in excitement as she giggled. Relief coursed through my entire being. "Jesus, woman!" I started, putting my hand to my chest. Her smile was infectious, we both giggled together. Once the excitement died down, the officiant continued. It was time to exchange rings. Thomas stepped forward and handed mine to me and Camille did the same with hers. Both of our hands were shaking but we were able to get them clumsily on. Everything about this day felt surreal and I knew this day would forever embedded in my soul."You have united in family and in friends. I ask them now to promise that they will support your marriage with joy, love and optimism.” He stated addressing the guest.“All those who wish to promise their support say ‘I do!’”"I d

RaphaelOur honeymoon was full of surprises. I got to see a new side of Ondina, and I must say, I am enjoying it. Her night terrors were practically nonexistent, and she has become very comfortable with initiating sex. Her confidence was beginning to show, and it was extremely sexy. I was loving every pedal of my little flower. We also did a lot of couple friendly activities. Although she loved our interactions with the dolphins, I, on the other hand, did not like it one bit. It took everything in me to remain calm. I’ve been nothing but confident and strong in front of her, I couldn’t let her see a couple of dolphins take me down. Hawaii was the best choice for a honeymoon. The people were very welcoming, and they weren’t afraid to poke fun at us as well. Today would be the eighth day of our honeymoon and Ondina wanted to go hula dancing. I found a place that taught hula dancing to the public and they made room for us to join in on the class. Hula class was full of laughter and

Raphael The next morning, Ondina was still in a deep sleep. I didn’t want to wake her, so I left her and did a little grocery shopping. I wanted to make her breakfast in bed and was short on eggs. The market was just up the road, so it only took me about ten minutes total. When I got back, she was still sleeping and it gave me all the time I needed to make omelets. Once I was finished preparing the food I took it to her and gently woke her. With sleepy eyes, she sat up in the bed.“What’s all this?” A lazy smile spread across her face. I have never seen a woman look as beautiful as she does in the mornings. “You were sleeping so soundly, so I decided to bring breakfast to you.” I placed the tray down on her lap and pressed my lips against her temple. “This is so thoughtful. Thank you.” The corners of my lips pulled up into a smile at her appreciation and I sat down beside her, taking one of the omelets off the tray and ate alongside her. Halfway through, she slowed down her pace

Raphael Her stomach was growling by the time they called us back finally so I grabbed a few snacks from the vending machines. “Aloha,” the doctor came in and introduced himself while a berserk took her vitals. “What brings you two lovely people to my hospital?” I gave him a clear description of what Ondina was experiencing and she filled in on anything that I missed. “And how long have you been having these symptoms?” He asked Ondina. “Just since yesterday.” “I see.” He stated as she typed into his computer. “And when was your last menstrual period?” He asked. Ondina paused for a second. “Um, I have irregular periods so it was a few months ago.” “Okay. Well, we’re gonna do some blood test to figure it out, in the mean time, if you haven’t already, I need you to give me a urine sample.” He finished typing into his computer before he left the room again and shortly after, Ondina was up and going to the restroom again. About thirty minutes went by before a

Raphael It's been a few weeks since our honeymoon and pregnancy was not what I would imagine. The rest of our honeymoon, Ondina struggled to hold down anything she ate. She slept most of the time and when she was awake, she was at war with every smell and man, was she a ball of emotions. Everything upset her. I'm just now figuring out how to help her. Her OBG assured us that her morning sickness would pass after a few months and today will be her first ultrasound. She told me it wasn't necessary for me to come but I took the day off anyway. I planned on being present for her entire pregnancy and after so she better get used to it. I don't care if our baby looks like a little dot on the monitor, I want to be there and to be her support system. Ondina was rushing around the penthouse looking for something to wear and gave up mid way. She burst into tears about how nothing she had would fit. "I lost too much weight! This can't be good for the baby." She was pouting in the floor

Raphael"Raf! We're having twins!" She looked over at me with a beautiful smile and I allowed my worries to slip away for the time being."We are!" I leaned down and placed a kiss to her forehead.The Sonographer printed out a few pictures and handed them over to us. I couldn't see any babies just two floating objects that looked like tadpoles.Once we were in the car Ondina started talking to me about baby names and how we would need more space but I couldn't really focus on what she was saying. I could only think of the fact that we were gonna have twins."Are you okay?" Ondina asked as we pulled into the parking garage."Yes, why wouldn't I be?" She looked at me suspiciously."It's just that you've been quiet this whole time and you look distracted." She was now looking at me expectantly."I'm just still processing that we are having twins." Fear veiled her face."Do you not want twins?" She asked."No," she looked at me shocked."No, no, I mean, no it's not that.""Well good becau

Ondina"How does Raphael feel about the babies?" Anna asked.This question threw her off a bit. She honestly didn't know. It was almost as if he was purposely distracting himself with work ever since they could out about the twins. When he was home, he didn't say much.She didn't really know how to approach the topic. Well, I do but I don't think I will like what he might say. Ondina sat up straighter when she realized she was in her head for longer than she thought she was."He's been a bit distant since we found out, it's kind of worrying me." Camille looked at Ondina knowingly but quickly looked away when Ondina made eye contact with her."What was that?" Ondina asked, Anna looking back and forth between them too."What's what?" Camille asked, pretending to be confused."You know what!""I don't know what you're talking about.""Yes, you do!""Seriously, I know nothing about anything!""CAMILLE!" Ondina yelled. She knew something and was withholding it from her and Ondina didn't li

OndinaOndina stood in the doorway stunned. She couldn't believe all of the information she had just received. A sudden wave of nausea washed over her and she made a run for the bathroom. Now hunched over the toilet, she released and sobbed in between each wave of nausea. Once she was finally able to stop puking, her phone chimed in her pocket. Pulling it out, she unlocked it and was met with a message from an unknown number.'Evidence for when he tries to deny it later.'Attached to the message was a few pictures. Once was the photo she had just seen moments before, and another was of Celeste laying across a sleeping Raphaels bare chest. An overwhelming wave of sorrow flowed through Ondina's core, causing her to curl up into a ball. Her sobs jerked her body violently. Why? She couldn't think of anything else but of his betrayal; unable to get the images of him and Celeste or the other woman."Little flower?" Raphaels voice filled the room, causing Ondina to jump and sit up."What's

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
