All Chapters of The Billionaires (#1): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Meryl was stunned to silence as the jeweller placed the set of expensive rings in front of her. She stared at the rings in awe and shook her head in disbelief; she had expected many things tonight, but this was not even at the back of the list. She had certainly not expected to have a set of expensive diamond engagement rings placed in front of her and asked to choose whichever one she wanted. "Jorge, this is incredible, this is…wow!" She breathed, and Jorge gave her a big smile that melted her heart on the spot. She stared at the rings to keep herself from crying because of the emotions feuding inside of her. "Uhm…I don't know what to choose, there's a lot of options." She said to the jeweller who was not the least interested in the rings but on Jorge. “Choose something that’s gonna make all women wish it was them getting married to me," Jorge said softly, and Meryl nodded and took in a shaky breath before averting her gaze to the b

It was 12 a.m. London time and Jorge had just arrived at Billings Corporation. He was not surprised to find someone else standing behind Meryl's desk but he asked anyway, and the girl told him that both Anita and Meryl were unavailable. He sighed and walked to the elevator, ignoring all the stares he was getting from his employees, but it was to be expected since he had decided to dress up like a secret agent; a black suit and dark shades. He was glad the moment the elevator doors because the stares he was getting were intensifying his headache. Cameron was to blame for all of this; Jorge could not even remember what they were talking about because of the alcohol Cameron kept feeding him. The only thing he remembered was the time when he was telling Cameron about proposing to Sonya. Jorge did not understand how Meryl ended up at his place; he did not remember ordering roses or having them sent to Meryl. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding, or there was a maste

The next morning, Logan Parker had a lot to look forward to; however, he was still a little dazed because of Natalia who had seemed a bit down last night. He had a lot to do for the day, and would not have time to chat to her, thus he arrived at 7a.m. so that he could catch her since she was one of the first few people to arrive.  However, he was shocked when he arrived in his office to find the person he least expected. He stood frozen at his door as he watched her back. “Is everything okay here?” Logan asked, but he was greeted by silence.  He walked to where she was and stood next to her. “It is beautiful, isn’t it?” He asked with his hands in his pockets as his eyes locked on the view outside the window. Parker’s Enterprises was one of the tallest buildings around the area, and one could see most of Cape Town from the top floor.  “Not what I am used to.” She muttered quietly, secretly comparing the view to the view from her office back in L

MJ had never responded well to alcohol. In fact, she rarely drank alcohol because she did not understand the purpose of drinking at all. Why would someone spend their precious time drowning themselves in alcohol? She did not know the answer to that until today, and her answer was Logan Parker. She did not drink a lot; she just had a few half-filled glasses of the whiskey she found in Sonya’s cupboard. It turned out that her brother was in love with a drunkard. She chuckled at the thought. While she was calling Sonya a drunkard, she was tipsy and was starting to imagine crazy things and do crazy things. One moment, she thought she was crying, but she would not cry now, would she? She never cried. Staring at the blue-covered room made her want to cry, if she had not done it already. MJ sat on top of the couch in Sonya’s apartment and did not fear that she would fall on her back if she was not careful enough. A lot of things ran throug

“Morning, May, you are very early today!” Natalia shouted as if MJ was deaf. MJ held her head and hurried to the private elevator. She was seriously not in the mood for anything today, not even Logan’s friendly secretary. “What is wrong with her? You know, for a lawyer, she’s rather here too much.” Demi gawked at her. Natalia just looked at her and shrugged. Minutes after May arrived, Logan walked into the building, looking rather too happy on a Saturday. For someone who was all about hard work and profit, Logan was quite looking forward to this half day. “Morning, Natalia.” Logan greeted cheerfully. “Morning, Demi.” “Morning, Mr Parker.” Natalia greeted with narrowed eyes. “Oh! Morning, Mr Parker.” Demi greeted with furrowed eyebrows and went back to whatever she was doing. Demi was one of the few people who did not care whether Logan was on cloud
