Semua Bab Billionaire's Divine Match : Bab 51 - Bab 60

As the soft morning light filtered into the bedroom, Luna stirred. She reached across the bed, her fingers brushing against the empty side. Jasper was gone. She immediately sat up, panic and fear strewn across her face. When she saw the neatly folded piece of paper on the bedside table, her panic skyrocketed.“Are we going to have this dance again?” Luna asked herself.She picked up the paper, unfolded it and read its contents with bated breaths."Good morning, sunshine. I couldn't bear to wake you up. You looked so peaceful. I'm off to work. I have a backlog of meetings and appointments to deal with. Last night was very good. The best actually. This is me being upfront about my feelings. You’re important to me Luna, and I promise to cherish every moment we have. Have a beautiful day. Yours always, Jasper."A goofy smile spread across her face. She held the note to her heart, letting his words sink in.Her feet hit the floor with renewed determination. She showered and got dressed.

The drive back home was bedeviled by an uncomfortable silence. Jasper looked at Luna briefly before returning his gaze to the road. She still maintained the same posture, staring at the road ahead. Jasper frantically wound the windows down. The atmosphere in the car was suffocating. He couldn't take it anymore.“Luna, what's the problem? You just zoned out during dinner. And you've been distant ever since we left the restaurant.” Jasper wearily stated. Luna was quiet.“ Damn! What's the deal with the mood swing?” Jasper asked. His emotions were raw.Luna sighed. “Jasper. I'm just overwhelmed.”“Overwhelmed? What's that supposed to mean? What is overwhelming you?” Jasper inquired.“Wasn't it evident enough?” Luna implored weakly. “Speak in plain terms Luna. I'm not a magician. I can't read minds.” Jasper said wearily. Luna sighed deeply. “ Jasper, I know you're wealthy and all that, but today just made me realize how vast the gap between us is.” She stated.Before Jasper could repl

“Damn! It's hot out here!” Jasper growled. The air in N’Goko was thick with the dust of a thousand feet and the sun wasn't helping matters at all. N'Goko was a nightmare.N'Goko was a remote village in Mali, characterized by extreme poverty and isolation. Reliable network facilities, good roads, hospitals and proper waste disposal systems were non-existent. The community relied on only subsistence farming, which was hardly sustainable. It was really a nightmare. When Jasper received the call from Evans that Ms. Victoria Stefan, CEO of Frontier Space, was on a charity run in Mali, Jasper made an impulsive decision. He had been trying to get Ms. Victoria onboard so that she could invest into his company. She was a potential investor and client. However, she was elusive. Jasper decided to take the bull by the horn. His plan was to corner her in Mali, where she was hosting her charity run. Navigating his way to Mali wasn't difficult, but locating N'Goko was strenuous. He had to hitch a

Victoria smiled. She was mindfully aware of the effect that she had on men. She knew that she was a pretty face with a good body, who also happened to be the CEO of a tech firm. She knew that she was irresistible. She watched Jasper's attempt at evading her advances, and she smiled. He was trying, but she knew that with the right amount of pressure, she could dismantle his walls. Jasper maintained his position by the window, with his hands casually tucked into his pockets. He was trying to give off a vibe of nonchalance. He watched as Victoria seductively sashayed her waist towards him. He sighed. “ Apologies, but I'm not willing to mix business with pleasure. It never ends well. And besides, I have a commitment to somebody else. I can't betray her trust. It goes against my principles as a man and business owner.” Jasper explained. “Please tell me that you're joking.” Victoria laughed. “ Jasper Mason, the most eligible bachelor and playboy, has a commitment to somebody. That's a ne

The next morning, Jasper went back to the garage. He prayed that a miracle would happen which would expedite his movement out of N'Goko. Unfortunately, his prayers were not answered. Idris reiterated that the repairs were going to take a considerable number of days. Jasper was frustrated. He shuffled his way towards Victoria's villa to inquire whether her offer still stood. Victoria was surprised to see Jasper in front of her door. She welcomed him inside her home. She immediately noticed that something was wrong. Jasper walked with a slight slump in his shoulder. “What would you like to drink? I have cold beer.” Victoria offered kindly. Jasper waved her off. “Thank you. I'm fine.” He stated. “Does your offer still stand?” Jasper inquired. Victoria's eyes were furrowed. She was confused. “What offer?” She asked.“You said you had a chartered vehicle which was coming tomorrow to take you to Bamako International Airport. My transportation option fell through. I need to know if I ca
