All Chapters of Billionaire's Marriage Bid (English): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

TRIANA remained stoic as her tears slowly cascaded down her cheeks. She held a white rose and gently put it in her father’s metal casket. They were inside the mausoleum of the Allende family. And most of the people who attended the burial had already gone home. Only the immediate family remained. It took her a while to accept that this was real. Everything that happened to her father was unexpected. She went home on vacation from the United States for Christmas Eve, but this bad news greeted her. Trevor had suffered a cardiac arrest, and he died on arrival at the hospital. Triana couldn’t believe it, since her dad was too young to die. He was only forty-nine! And now, he couldn’t even be with his family to celebrate the holiday season. Celebrating New Year’s Eve without him made her heartbroken. “Ria…” She looked down at her ten-year-old twin brothers, Travis and Tristan. Their eyes were swollen from crying so much since they were so close to their dad. Trevor al

  TRIANA immediately went home after her date with Caleb. She was still stoked! She couldn’t help herself from smiling while walking going inside the house. But she halted when she saw the twins standing near the main door, waiting for her.  “Where have you been?” Travis asked, looking bored. Beside him was Tristan, holding a tablet.  The twins were identical, and the only noticeable differences were their haircut and height. Travis was taller but chubby with short curly hair, while Tristan was slimmer with messy curls. Triana already visualized these two being a girl magnet once they grew up. At their age, a lot of girls from their class had a crush on them.  “Mom is waiting for you,” Tristan seemed impatient. He immediately turned his back on her while Travis held her arm.  “I think Mom is kind of mad,” Travis pointed out to their mother, sitting on the couch while her arms crossed.  “Why, what happened?

 DEVANCE immediately sat on the black leather couch when they arrived home in Bhaktapur. The house was only a ten-minute drive from the airport. The traffic was tolerable, and they didn’t have a stressful trip.“Shall I call Vijay to check the chopper for tomorrow?” Austin asked. He referred to their private pilot, who maintains the family-owned choppers in Nepal.They had two helicopters at home. Both were parked at the helipad of their mansion on the sixth floor. They often used it when the whole family was on vacation here and usually when they wanted to see the Everest Region from above.“Yeah, let him check the engine. I’ll pilot the chopper going to Lukla.” Devance breathed out. Devance might be easy-go-lucky, but he was a licensed private pilot. He had the rank of captain, carrying four stripes in his uniform. He attended a prestigious aviation school in Amsterdam a couple of years ago. 

EVERYONE went back to the trail in the morning time after they had their breakfast at the inn. Triana tried her best to ignore Devance because of what happened a few hours ago. Her hatred towards the man grew even more. She couldn’t stand his overly confident attitude. He was so full of himself! His presence alone made her feel uneasy.And speaking of the devil, it seemed he had already developed the habit of pestering her. Devance walked in her direction, and their eyes met.“Hey, Austin! Can you please look at my hydration pack,” he was smirking and not breaking his eye contact with her. He uttered those words in the Filipino language.Austin quickly came over. And he answered back in the same local language. “Why, is there a leak? I checked it earlier. I made sure it’s fine.”Triana gaped at them as her jaw dropped. She could not believe these two could speak Tagalog with ease!Austin glanced at her. He seemed to enjoy making fun of her, too. “Are you surprised, my lady? We are Fil

DEVANCE carefully drove his bike, and they reached their destination without inconvenience. It was the famous Nagarkot village. However, they had to go to some unpaved road, which Triana had been complaining about because she expected a decent highway since it was a road toward a well-known tourist destination.They went down the bike and had a mini hike going up a hill where they could vividly see the Himalayas. Unfortunately, when they reached the summit, there was no clearing. It was nothing but thick fog.Devance lightly shook his head and smiled apologetically. “Sorry girls, it might rain anytime with these cloud formations.”“This place is heavenly if only it’s not cloudy,” said Austin. Lara dived into the conversation. “It’s all right. We are thankful for your efforts to drive us here. Besides, weather up in the mountain is unpredictable.”And as if on cue, it began to drizzle. “Let’s go. It’s raining!” Devance called out.Everyone ran going down the concrete stairs because i
