All Chapters of The billionaire’s redemption : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Robert “Anne, I told you cut off both their cards didn’t I?”“Who else will I be referring to?”“Yes, Pete and Florence!!”“If you did so, then how was she able to afford to enter into such an expensive restaurant, with what funds”I bark into the Phone, boiling with anger, still trying to reconcile what just happened. Ava is beside me but very quiet and I don’t like it one bit, since the incident she has become more withdrawn and cold. Focusing on what Anne is saying over the phone, I give a final reply. “I don’t need apologies, Anne, I want results”“You should have been more thorough”Hanging up the phone, I am tempted to smash something, to sooth this anger I feel. Florence remains to date my biggest regret, but I was too young to know any better. Back then, I was an orphan boy who wanted to make it at all costs and Florence was like a respite from everything harsh in the world. Her beauty and fake innocence made me feel like I was a king, better than my situation. On our fir

I stare at Robert who is on the other side of my door holding my box of pizza and a bouquet of flowers.“Hello, sweet girl ““Not going to let me in”“Or are you still avoiding me?”He says with his signature grin on his face. Looking back to make sure my mother or her guest is not lurking around, I take the box of pizza with one hand and pull Robert in with the other, I won't stop till I reach my room and lock the doorTurning to him, I speak “What in God's name are you doing here?”“Who told you that you could just show up at my house out of nowhere”“What if my mum sees you?”Standing akimbo, I regard Robert wearily too exhausted to get upset.Roberts chuckles and reply “Nice to see you too, sweetheart”“I missed you and I am hoping you missed me “He strolls to my reading table and deposits the flowers, it's blue roses my favorite. My heart melts at how thoughtful the flowers are.Robs seats himself at the edge of my bed, spreading his legs to be comfortable, and then proceeds t

AVA Robert storms out of his office, and into his private elevator. My gaze trails his exit till the elevator closes, I wonder how his left ankle is now. I don’t know what I was thinking when I made him climb down from my window but by the time I got a hold of myself the deed had been done.I am still in shock that I made the “Robert Williams” exit my house like a thief in the night. I have sent so many apology texts since then and he acknowledged them that it’s fine, so to make it up to him I prepared a surprise for Rob. Something I am sure he would love, I am getting excited just thinking about it. My phone alarm goes off signaling the time for lunch. Looking up from my system I glance at Anne and she is already packing to take her lunch break, Thank God! Anne has been unpredictable since my return back to work two days ago, she has been stricter and more nerve-wracking than usual, I can’t wait for this internship to be over. “Hey! You over there “I hear over my shoulder but

My eye has been twitching since I woke up this morning, that is a bad sign. I went to bed last night with an uneasy feeling in my guts. Rob has not been responding to my messages, Pete has not been answering my calls, and worse of all, Florence has been texting me nonstop. Gosh!!, what kind of a mess did I get myself into right now? My phone buzzes again signaling a message, I check it and it is from Florence. Ignoring it, I start arranging the outfit I will be wearing to work today. Staring at my Wardrobe, I take in the expensive array of clothes I now own, all thanks to Robert. On our trip to Paris last month, he insisted on shopping for me and it was wonderful. A private showroom at the “house of CB”, my favorite cloth brand. I felt like a Barbie doll In a dress house, the personal shopper ( Bridget ) Robert hired was like my very own Cinderella fairy godmother. She knew exactly what to bring and match, but the best part was the look on Robert’s Whenever I came out with a new ou

The cloud of euphoria I was existing in vanished and a feeling of numbness spread through me.Staring at the pictures spread out on the floor, I try to open my mouth to speak but no words are formed. I look at the man I can barely recognize with cold eyes and a freezing aura, the man who some minutes ago fucked my brains out in the best way possible. The Robert standing before me now is the ruthless businessman who is famed for his tenacity in getting what he wants. Bending down, I pick one of the photos that shows Pete embracing me with a grin on his face. The next one shows me returning the embrace with a warm smile. Looking at the others spread against the floor, I spot one that shows Pete kissing me and a wide smile on my face in the next with me in his arms in the air. From this angle, I can't bring myself to be mad at Robert for not trusting me and insinuating that something is happening with Pete because this photo is very incriminating. “I asked you a question, Ava?”“Wh
