The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 41
Traizle One of them knew that we were living here. Are we still safe here? Are we going to see them next time? What happened to Lyndon might not be the worst thing we might face afterward. What should I do? Do we have to suffer too much again? Do we have to experience the torment we had before? We are safe, but we shouldn't be complacent. "Traizle!" Leaping from the shock I felt, I glared at Zarsuelo. "I hugged and almost kissed you, but you never flinched. What are you worrying about? I am getting worried already." He asked, pouting at me. I shook my head. "None," I answered. "Thank you for helping us again." I said, showing him my gratitude. "No worries. I also don't want them to get hurt. They are like my younger brothers as well," he replied. "Can't you share it with me? I am willing to listen, and maybe I can help you with that." he added. It could be about the thoughts I have been having since they came. I am not in my right mind after our talk. "Thank you, but I don'
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 42
Traizle "Can you do that?" I asked, laughing at him. He can say something about an idea that involves money. A high-paid notion indeed. "I can! I can buy every inch of them and make them my slaves." Zarsuelo boasted. Smiling creepily at the air. He is now plotting his move in his mind. "I will ensure they will suffer as you guys did. I want them to feel that taste of hell," he added. "I'm going to show them that they harmed the wrong people." he muttered again. Tapping his shoulder. "Matthew, your evil thoughts are going out one by one." I told him. "Oh? It is—wait, you called me by my name, right?" he asked, surprised. I arched my eyebrow at him. "Am I?" I asked back as if I didn't know myself. "Did I hear it wrong? You never called me by my name, though," he replied, unsure. "But I feel like you did. Matthew and Zarsuelo are way too opposite to pronounce. My heart beats faster after you called me." he added. "Perhaps you misheard me, Zarsuelo," I replied. I was laughing at
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 43
Traizle The next day came, and I went to Lyndon's school. Bryan was suspended for a week. I still didn't allow Lyndon to go to his school and rest. I am thankful that Zac is willing to help us without asking anything. He told me that he could help Lyndon while taking care of Layzen. That is why I don't have to worry too much. "Traizle," I looked at the owner of the voice. "Are you okay? You are thinking deeply. Is something bothering you?" Mr. Andrade asked. "Mr. Andrade, please accept my apologies," I said, standing up to bow to him. "How can I help you?" I asked. He guided me to sit back down again and sat in front of me. "Can I join you for a while?" He asked. I nodded and fixed myself. We are at the cafeteria, and I am having a coffee. "Do you want anything, Mr. Andrade?" I asked him. Mr. Andrade smiled. "No need. Thank you for the offer," he answered. "How are you?" He asked. "I am doing well, how about you? Are you here to meet Mr. Zarsuelo?" I answered. He nodded. "Ye
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 44
Traizle The reports of our branches are divided into two categories: local and international. Since Zarsuelo is here, this Grand Finance, where I am working, is the primary host, and the other branches we have all over this country will send their reports to our marketing team. Then, the marketing team will analyze it and give us the result of the evaluations. As for the international, Zarsuelo chose the main host, and they will send their reports to the main host and send the assessment to me. "I will head back to my office and print these to give to you later." Aeron said, then ran to their office room. I went back inside our office and texted Zarsuelo. After a few minutes, Zarsuelo texted me back, saying I could go now to his office because Mr. Andrade had gone out already. I waited for the documents from Aeron before proceeding to Zarsuelo's office. "What's that?" he greeted me, referring to the printed documents I was holding. I handed him the documents. "Monthly evaluation
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 45
Traizle "Zar—where is he?" I muttered when I entered his office. Zarsuelo is not in his chair doing his work or what. I can't hear any sound from the comfort room, so where did that oddball Zarsuelo go? A hug from the back suddenly embraced me. "I am here," he said, putting a big distance between us. "Sorry for the sudden hug. I just wanted to hug you the first thing you entered my office." he added. I am so used to this that I don't find it uncomfortable anymore—wait? Did I say I was okay with it? What the hell? "Do it again next time, and I will twist your arms." I warned him. He pouted. "You won't let me hug you freely, so I had to take the risk." he replied. "You told me you don't need me in your meetings today. I planned to go out for a while. I promised Layzen I would fetch him today." I responded, changing the topic. His face became happy and excited at the same time. He was about to open his mouth and say something, but I interrupted him. "No." I told him already. "A
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 46
Traizle "Can we bring my toys?" Layzen asked, choosing busily in front of his toys. "Just bring some, Layzen." I told him while I was stuffing our bag with some shirts. Although I was happy seeing Zarsuelo smile a while ago, I am now facing the truth. I am very, very nervous enough for my hands to tremble while packing our bag. I hope that no one is watching him. I don't want to ruin his reputation or our privacy. Sleeping in a billionaire's house isn't a tiny thing. "Promise me, guys, that you won't cause any trouble." I reminded them. "Don't worry, Traizle. We will just play." Layzen answered immediately. "And you?" I asked Lyndon, receiving a nod from him. "Make sure not to tell this to your friends, or else I will confiscate your phone for a week every night." I issued a warning. "Rest assured. No words will come out of my mouth." he replied. After half an hour, we heard the beep of a car honking and received a message. 'I am outside already. You guys can come out now.'
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 47
Traizle He started talking on his phone a while ago. Who is he talking to? I entered his office a while ago in the morning. He was talking with someone. Afterward, I returned to his office to hand him some documents, and he was still on his phone. I picked up my phone and started to message him. 'Oddball, did you check the documents I put on your table a while ago?' That's what I texted him. After 5 minutes, I received a message back from him. 'Later, Traizle. I am still talking with someone.' That was his reply. So, I bolted my hands to answer back. 'Who are you just talking to?' I asked, trying not to be angry early in the morning. I was about to keep my phone when it vibrated again. 'She's one of the candidates I was talking about before.' Candidates? Oh, the talk with his candidate wives. They have been talking for a while now. They can talk after their work. He is wearing his earbuds so he can talk to her while checking the documents. He is delaying my work. Candidate
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 48
Traizle "How was it? Did you tell him about it already?" Tyler asked me while we were sipping our coffee in the cafeteria. It was still early, and Tyler had asked me when he saw me. Too interested in me liking the oddball. I did recall everything last night. I want to know how I ended up liking him. There are many things that make me. Last night, I concluded that I like Zarsuelo. End, no more questions and finding answers. "Wasn't able to tell him yesterday." I told him. He put his coffee on the table. "Why?" He asked. "He is acting weird. I thought it was not the right time to tell him." I answered. After finishing our coffee, we decided to head back, him to the entrance and me to our office. After half an hour, Zarsuelo called, asking for a coffee. So, I went to the cafeteria again and got one for him. I knocked before opening the door. He was eating his sweets in the morning already, as usual. "Pigging out as usual." I told him after giving him his coffee. He pouted. "Nye n

Layzen "Look! Look! The camel looks cool!" "What is cool about camels? You won't be able to see them in person anyway." "Where can we find a camel, then? I want to see one. I wanted to see how big and cool it is in person." "You can see them in a zoo." "Brother Layzen!" Thalia called my name. "Yes?" I asked. I think I have not heard anything since a while ago. "Can we go to the zoo and see a camel?" Thalia asked. "There are no camels in the zoo here. You can see them mostly in Egypt, Mongolia, and China." I told her. "Can we ask Uncle Gio to drive us to Egypt?" Thalia asked again. "So that we can see the camel in person." she added. "I think it is far from here, Thalia." Little Matthew said. "We can't go there?" Thalia asked sadly. "Sorry, Thalia. When your parents get home, you can ask about it." I told her. When will they come? I became a nanny after six years. "Everyone! I am home!" we heard Lyndon shouting from the living room. "I am going to take care of three kids
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 79: FINALE
Traizle "Dad, do I look okay in this dress? I do not think I suit this kind of dress. It is so uncomfortable." I told my dad, almost complaining about the dress I was wearing. I am wearing a casual dress but itching to change to a comfortable one. But I cannot do that. "We need to wear a formal one when you are meeting your boyfriend's family," Dad explained. "This is the first time we will meet each other's families. Just wait for a few hours before you can change." We will be seeing Matthew's grandparents tonight. Matthew just told us yesterday that his grandparents would come here tonight for a small gathering. We will introduce our family properly. "They bought that for you. That is why you cannot say no to it, right?" Dad asked again. I nodded. This is one of the gifts I received from his grandparents before. Although they are pretty, they are not for me to wear. Looking at the price tag before wearing it, it felt like I might be a hostage if I went out with this dress I wa
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 78
Matthew After the conference, we headed to their house as fast as possible. No one speaks while we are inside the car. We fell silent as if we were in a silent war. "This is killing me," I told them. "I am very sorry, guys, but it is too quiet. I am dying of silence. Why are we silent anyway?" I asked them. "You guys are quiet, too, so I thought I should keep my mouth shut." Archane commented. "Me too." Lyndon added. "I am hungry. That is why I am quiet." Layzen said. We can't help but laugh at his answer. "Why did you stay quiet if you were already hungry?" Dad Albert asked while driving. "You are not talking. As a grown-up, I should stay quiet, too." he answered. "I thought you'd act your age?" Then Traizle said, this time to Layzen. "It depends on my mood and my outfit," Layzen answered as he fixed the buttons on his sleeves. "I thought I should act like one because I am wearing a formal suit." Layzen added. Of all the children I encountered, I liked Layzen the most. He is
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 77
Matthew As time passed by, day by day, my amazement at her became an interest, and I ended up liking her. How can I not like her? She is gorgeous as hell. She is so family-oriented, a good cook, and can work well. She is a sexy person who can't even say sweet things- but that is how she lives, and I still like her after that. I was able to learn about her life with her brother, Lyndon. I can't ask her about this matter; she is too off. Although Lyndon tells me some stories about them, he still does not tell me the stories that are too sensitive, and I MUST respect that. At first, I thought girls were all the same. I can make them come to me because I am rich, but that can't compare to her. I even offered her that I could give her a bunch of money. What did I receive from her? Her two middle fingers with her mad face. I also wanted to make her fall in love with me right away. I did not know that it was tough to get her attention. Anyway, all that matters today is that I am hers, a
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 76
Matthew Following that day, I requested the assistance of my relatives, specifically my grandparents, as suggested by the woman I met. I told them the whole story. I thought they couldn't help me because they were already old. What can they do? My parents are both stronger than them. I did not know that they could still control my parents. They even gave a long lecture that I did not imagine at all. Mom and Dad started to work for themselves after that, reluctantly, and I stayed at my grandparents' house. After a few months, my mom called me to attend a meeting about their new investor. They forced me to go with them to check if the investor would help them make their company progress. Nana and Pops did not allow me to go there, so I told them I would read it if they had the documents already. After an hour, I got a call from my Dad. They told me that they got involved in an accident. Dead on arrival. The reason why they got into that accident is because of the company issue. Mom

Flashback. Matthew "Can't I go and rest for once?" I asked my parents. Mom turned to me as if I had said something terrible. "Who will manage the company if you rest? You can rest later in the evening." she answered unbothered. Who will manage the company if I rest? I don't even own the company. They made that company themselves, and why am I getting involved? "Why are you guys even here if no one will manage this?" I started to ask. "Why did you even build this company if you guys are not going to take care of it?" "Watch your word, Matthew!" Mom screamed. I sighed. "Mom, I am still in college. I should focus more on studying, not on your business." I retorted. "Studying? When all you do is play your mobile games and eat sweets? Where is the focus of your studying?" Mom answered back. I can't believe this. "Yeah, I play mobile games and eat sweets. You don't know why?" I asked. "It's the only thing I can do since I am here. Aside from reading your papers, looking at the scre

Flashback. Matthew "Why are you staring at your money, Auntie? Instead of staring at it blankly, you should invest in Z company. I can guarantee you that they will make your money double." I told my Auntie. She was busy counting her money beside me. We had our family reunion. Everyone was talking and catching up to one another, asking some things they didn't even need to know were being asked in this gathering, and she was busy looking at her money. She glanced at me. "How can you say that Z company will double my money, did your parents invest in that company?" Auntie asked. I shake my head. "No. I read one of their magazines, and they explained how they process things. It is just my opinion, though. You don't have to do it if you are unsure about it," I answered. "I'm pretty interested in investment, and I've watched a lot." I added to add more credibility. She sighed and started to keep her money in her wallet. "I need money. Your Uncle has been gambling nonstop, and I must pa

Traizle "Here is your food." Matthew said as he put my food in front of me. "Where are your daily sweets?" I asked. "You are not going to eat today?" He shakes his head. "No, I will not eat it now." He answered. Does he mean that he will stop eating sweets now? "Why?" I asked. "Can you stop eating your sweets?" He went quiet. Contemplating whether he can stop eating his sweets. "I guess I can." he answered. A while ago, he fetched me from our house. He even opened the car door for me before and after I rode in his car. Why does he act like someone he is not? "Will you find new investors for our new project?" I asked. Matthew says we got a good proposal a while ago, and the project is in process. "Honestly, if the potential investors don't invest in our new projects, I can personally invest in them. But," he paused. "Since they know that it is our new project, I doubt they won't invest in it." Well, he is right. Investors would invest in our project since they know it is unde

Matthew "What? They went back?" I asked. "Yes, the night they abducted Traizle, they fled out of this city. When my team went there in advance to the area we located, we reviewed the CCTV and saw them leaving the city." The investigator explained. "We should head as well. I don't think it is safer for Traizle if we don't do anything as of these hours. Those people who abducted her can hurt her." I told them. Her mother had done an unbelievable thing already. What's more, they can do? I hope they won't hurt her. I should not have left her last night. I was too reckless and only thought about our date. We, together with my employees, headed back to our city. I immediately went to Traizle's family to tell them the updates. "I cannot believe that her mother can do it to her daughter because of money?" Dad Albert expressed his disappointment. "She has let go of us since then. It is no wonder why she can do that to Traizle." Lyndon said worryingly. "We should save Traizle now, and sh
