All Chapters of The Billionaire's Sweet Surrender: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I couldn't believe that Neil said he wasn't so sure about getting married to Megan. The night at the amusement Park was so magical that I dreamt of it everyday. It was the weekend, so I had nowhere to go except stay back at home to binge watch my favorite series on N*****x. My salary could take care of me, so I began to purchase things I couldn't get two months ago. About the dress, I think Neil lied to me about the price, because that dress was way about five hundred dollars. Anyway, I was glad he respected my decision to pay him back. No matter how little it was. I just finished a whole series of a Korean drama and I had my food heated in the oven. I planned on reading with a Kindle I bought last month, but I'd just eat and sleep. I dug out the salad from the oven and transferred it to a plate, then I sat down to eat. I heard a knock on my door and I was perplexed to know who must be behind the door. My stomach fluttered and danced around. All that transpired in my head was the

I was glad that I was able to get rid of Gabriel. I was also glad we resolved that without any hitches. I was free, finally of his narcissism. Another pleasurable thing was that Megan stopped her impromptu visit at Neil Incorporated. The last time I saw her was at the diner when she approached me. Which was so weird. I pushed all those thoughts aside as I headed to the cemetery. It was a ritual to visit my mother's tombstone the first day of the month no matter where I was. I'd run down to watch her, and talk to her, and sometimes, I felt like she spoke back. I felt her presence. Mom smelt of wild flowers, so I didn't forget to carry some whenever I visited. It's been five years, but I never stopped visiting. I would never. I took an Uber down to the cemetery. I also had work to go to, so I tried to be early enough that I could talk to her and still meet up at the time. No matter how close I was close to Neil or how friendly he was with me, I never tried to take it for granted. One

I cussed and dropped my phone hard on the table. My mind was in disarray and I just couldn't think. Zina just quit her job because of those videos. I had no clue who posted them, but if I got to find out, then they would be doomed. I'd bring them down. Margaret stood by me, also pacing. She walked to my door and scrutinized the back of it. "You're being bugged." "Obviously. Shit." I canceled all my appointments after Zina left my office. There was no point attending all those without a secretary. Without Zina. "Are you sure she'll ever come back? Even after we find the perpetrators."Margaret turned to me from the door. "You like her, don't you?" I turned away from her. "That wasn't the question." I also didn't know if I liked Zina. It was a battling thought. She turned back to the door, looking at the knob. "If she likes you, she'll always come back. I've seen it in her eyes." She plucked out something. "Damn it, you are being bugged." In her hands was a small, negligible camera

I stumped out of Neil's office in agony and pain. I was embarrassed at the rejection and pain he caused me in front of his pesky secretary, Margaret. I zoomed off in my Porsche car, crying my eyes out. Neil just broke up with me. Unbelievable. I picked my phone to text Mom that I was coming to her house, but my hands were so shaky that I dropped the phone. I couldn't believe that Neil threw me like a rag because his secretary that was without a class. Earlier today, I sat on the balcony in my house, sipping an apple juice with my laptop in my hands. I watched the office twenty-four seven, waiting for when they'd start having sex. And I saw the moment coming to pass when Zina walked into the office with a cheerful look. I waited and watched as she served Neil coffee, I also watched as the coffee burnt his hands, and when Zina ran helter-skelter to look for a band aid. I smiled. I placed my hands on my mouse, waiting to press the left button. It started with a slow, wet, sloppy kis

I saw a woman coming out of Neil's office with a sad look. She saw me and stopped "hey! You are Zina?" I nodded my head. She looked at me from head to toe and stumbled out. I wondered who she was. "Could she be Megan's mother?" I walked to Neil's office to inform that I was about to leave. "Neil, I need to leave now, it's closing time." "You are free. I will call you later." I quickly left the office. On getting to my house, I met Gabriel. "What are you doing here?" "Zina, please I am sorry. I am here to beg you to forgive me and accept me back. I know I have wronged you." I asked myself if truly he was sorry or he was just saying it because he noticed I have moved on with my life. "Gabriel, you can actually see that I am just coming back from work. I need you to please leave the door, let me find my way inside and rest." "Zina, why are you this heartless? Remember how we forgave each other easily in the past. Why are you treating me like this and making things difficult?"
