The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 56
Traizle The night has come. We finished our dinner, but Zarsuelo was still on the table munching sweets after his meal. I decided to let him sleep in our house. He insisted on guarding us with a bodyguard outside. Our neighbors might ask about it, and I don't want them to feel uncomfortable. I also don't want them to know about Zarsuelo. Having him in our house rather than the two bodyguards is enough. "Will you stop eating your sweets now and brush your teeth after?" I asked. Why do I feel like I am babysitting him again? "Matthew, let's brush our teeth!" Layzen invited. I thought he would tell Layzen to wait for him, but he stopped eating and stood up. "Let's watch movies after that. I want to try it with you guys." he replied. "One movie and sleep. They still have classes tomorrow." I told him. Zarsuelo went with Layzen to the bathroom to brush their teeth. I cleaned the wrappers that he left on the table. "Traizle, should we move into a new house? I don't think we are still
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 57
Traizle After sending Layzen and Lyndon to their schools, Zarsuelo and I went to his uncle's house. He received a call from his uncle, saying they had finished reviewing the CCTV videos they had gotten. "Here you guys are," A man, I think he is in his forties, "Come inside. Welcome to our humble abode, Miss." He added, smiling, and did not even forget to wink at me. Zarsuelo was on my side, blocking my way. "Don't wink at her, Uncle Vin!" I heard Zarsuelo saying to his uncle. I pushed Zarsuelo gently to my side again. "I am sorry about that, Mr. Vin." I apologized. He waves his hands. "No worries, Matthew must be protective of his girlfriend, huh," he replied, directing us to enter. "Call me Uncle Vin, too." he added. "Is it comfortable with you?" I asked back. He smiled again at me. Like Zarsuelo's smile every time I ask him. He will surely smile like that before answering me or not. Maybe it is in their genes. "Of course! The whole clan was excited about meeting you. His Nana

Traizle "Won't you hug your mother first?" My mother asked. I can't still figure it out. What the hell is she doing here in Zarsuelo's company? "Why are you here?" I asked. She smiled again. "I am with someone," she answered. "He is your new father." she added, which surprised me. "And why are you guys here? How did you know that I am working here?" I asked her continuously, trying to know the reason behind their agenda here. "I want you to do something for me." My mother said. I arched my eyebrows at her. "Do you think I will follow you? It's been years since you left us. You did not check on us to see if we were still doing okay. And now you want me to do something? I am not that idiot, Mom." I argued. She laughed. Her smile. Her reactions. Everything about her makes me disgusted just by looking at her. There is no way I will follow her. "I know your relationship with your boss, so you know." she said, smirking at me. "You hired someone to follow us, do you?" I asked. "S
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 59
Traizle After what happened a while ago, I made sure to fetch Layzen at his school. Zarsuelo let me go home early for today. I also told Zac that he did not need to fetch him today. "Traizle!" Layzen exclaimed while running to me. "You are not busy with your work for Matthew's company?" He asked excitedly. I nodded. "How is your school today?" I asked. "I learned so much today, Traizle. I know now how to add and subtract. My teacher told us that she would teach us multiplication and division if we did not make trouble." he answered happily. Multiplication and division are too advanced for kindergarten. But Layzen is enjoying it, so I don't think I should worry about it. When we got home, I quickly prepared our lunch. Lyndon is on the way too. His class just finished a few minutes ago. I hope he read my messages that I wanted him to go home early. It is time to tell them that our mother is here. "Layzen, Traizle, I am home." We heard Lyndon say before entering. "Change first so

Lyndon "Oh, Lyndon?" Kelvin asked when he saw me entering the Snack Bar. Yes, I am now here at the Snack Bar. "Your sister is not here, though? Are you going to eat here?" he asked again. I scratched my head. I am here already. I should do what I planned to do here. "Uhm... is Archane here?" I asked. "He is out for delivery but will be here in a few minutes. He takes near-delivery since we can't find a new full-time worker," Kelvin answered. "Just sit while you are waiting for him." he added. I sat near the door of the Snack Bar. I don't have the appetite to eat, even though the food here is good. I decided to kill time by playing online games while I waited for Archane, as I had been missing this game for days. Although I have the time to play it at night, I don't have the energy to do it. While playing the game, I received a call from Traizle. It is a good thing I am wearing my earphones. "Yes?" I asked. "Where are you?" Traizle asked back worriedly. Well, she's been worri

Traizle "Do you think of accepting their proposal, Mr. Zarsuelo?" I halted. "I know, you know how clean this Grand Finance. Accepting Limede Corporation will stain your reputation. Did you talk about this with Traizle? I think—" "She does not need to know about this. That is why I called you here instead of her." I heard Zarsuelo say. No way. I opened the door and looked at the two people, shocked by my sudden appearance. "Trai...zle." "Sorry for the intrusion. Can you please go out for a while? I wanted to talk to him privately." I told Alvin, the Vice President of Grand Finance. "Oh, no worries. Call me Matthew, and tell me your decision about it." Alvin said before leaving Zarsuelo's office. "Why are you going to accept their proposals?" I asked him directly. "You have been rejecting their offer but are trying to accept it without telling me. Did they threaten you?" I added. "They did not, but they sent their new proposal this morning, and I checked it already. I also think
The Odd Billionaire CHAPTER 62
Traizle "Why is he calling me?" I was confused. I already told Zac that I would also go to Layzen's school since I asked Zarsuelo if I could go out for a while, and I am near the school too. "Yes?" I asked Zac as soon as I answered the call. "Can you run faster? A woman here is trying to get Layzen from me." he answered. I immediately ended the call and ran as fast as I could. I told her not to disturb Layzen while he was at school. After a few minutes of running, I reached Layzen's school. I can already see Layzen, who is hiding behind Zac, and our mother, who is also trying to approach him. "Layzen! Zac!" I called them. Layzen ran to me and hugged me tightly. "She is asking me to come with her, Traizle." he complained. "Layzen, you don't have to be scared. I am your mother. Don't you remember me?" Mother asked, but Layzen shook his head. "You don't remember me because Mom left to work when you were young, but I am back now. I can take care of you together with your brother."

Traizle "Don't you dare meddle with our family affairs, Albert!" Mom yelled. "I have the right to meddle in these family affairs. I know already the truth, Isabel," Mr. Andrade said. "Traizle is my daughter. How can you not tell me that she is my daughter and tell me that she is from Louie? You even left the children, Isabel!" he added. I can't follow what they are talking about. They are saying that my father is Mr. Andrade. How come he is my father? How about my brothers? "Wait a minute, Mr. Andrade," I called him. "I don't quite follow what you guys are talking about. Do I hear things correctly?" I asked and turned to my mother. "What the hell is happening?" I asked her. "Do not listen to him, and he is just lying. Your Dad is Louie. How can he be your dad when I was in a relationship before with your dad?" Mom said, explaining. "Can you move and let me go with my daughter now?!" "I won't go with you," I answered her. "I won't go with you. I can provide what my brothers ne

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

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
