All Chapters of My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Facing The DemonMaria’s POV I woke up with a start and wondered where I was for a moment. The scent and everything else felt different from my room. It was until I moved and felt strong, large arms around me that I realized that I was still in Sebastian’s office and that we were lying on the soft bed in his office. “What the hell is the time?” I asked myself and realized that Sebastian and I were in a spoonlike position and he wrapped his arms around me protectively. I listened to his relaxed breathing as he slept but jumped from the sofa when my eyes rested on the timepiece on the wall. “Shit!” I said and he woke up highly alert. “What’s going on, Maria?” “The time.” I said, putting on my clothes in a hurry. He looked at the time and asked. “You want to go home by this time?” “Of course!” I replied, looking at him with unbelief. “Do you want your staff to come in in a few hours and see me leaving your office building with ruffled clothes?” “I’ll take you home.”

The Deadly Ultimatum Maria's POV I sat down slowly on my chair and tried to process what happened. “What the hell was that?” I asked myself softly. “Are you certain that this is the kind of life you want to sign up for? You haven't spent a dime from the investment Sebastian sent. You can still send it back.” I picked up my phone to call Sebastian but then I shook my head defiantly and dropped the phone. “I am not some cowering little girl those people think that they can bully to do their selfish bidding. I will see this through to the end and I will prevail.” Shrugging the incident with Sebastian's father off, I focused on disseminating the proceedings of the investment. Soon, my Executive Assistant came back with news. “Every instruction has been carried out, Ms. Belluci and as expected, the news has caused an excited ripple to flow in our company today.” “Good! Schedule a meeting with our top executives in two hours. When you are done, put a call through to our tech ve

A Gesture Of KindnessSebastian’s POV I stared after Maria until she entered her apartment building. She would always play the superwoman and I thought that she was one of the strongest and smartest women I know but this situation with her family was getting to her. She didn’t say a word to me about it, nor did she cry or throw tantrums but I could sense her sorrow because it hung vividly over her. While I was in deep thought, an idea came to my mind, and I acted on it immediately. I opened social media and copied the office cell of Maria’s best friend and housemate, Helena. When I was done, I dialed her cell. ********* “Hello Helena, thank you for meeting me.” I welcomed her as soon as she took her seat across me on the terrace session of my favorite elite restaurant. We exchanged pleasantries and ordered glasses of wine. “I must confess, Sebastian, I have a very long, worky day but I had to squeeze out time because curiosity has taken a major hold. What is this abou

The Proposal RevisitedMaria’s POV During the call with Sebastian, we realized that the tactics of our opposition had changed so we also need to discuss counteractions and plans to fault any of their upcoming actions. Sebastian suggested that Helena should also come along for the meeting since she was a lawyer and I agreed. I spent some time with Nathan and when I put him to bed for his nap, Helena and I got ready and drove to Sebastian's home. “It's a nice place you've got here.” Helena complemented his home when we saw him. His mansion was seated in the middle of a humongous estate which belonged to him. I remembered Helena's words when she saw the pool. Oouuu, Nathan will love this pool, Maria. It's so cool.” Hearing her half teasing words made me realize that Nathan and I would soon call this place home but was I ready to be called Mrs. Bolt? Honestly? Nope! It was a huge shoe to fill. Although, I was not scared of taking of the role of Mrs. Bolt, I was scared of

Helena's POV I came down from one of Keith's cars and thanked the driver before he zoomed off, then smiled when I saw my own car driving into the parking lot. Keith had sent his driver to bring the car home since it was a Monday morning and I would need my car. As soon as I entered our apartment, I heard Maria half screaming. “Helena Montoya, you are such a slut and a magnet. You really got that guy.” I laughed at her dramatic expressions because she was trying not to shout so that she would not wake Nathan up and at the same time she wanted to be her dramatic shouty self. “Maria, I don't have time for this drama. I just need a bed.” “You didn't sleep last night?” She asked with a raised brow and I turned red. “Oouuu, look at you looking all tomatoes-like. Keep the details to yourself though because it sure was a lot of gymnastics if you need a bed.” My phone beeped at that moment and I smiled when I saw a message from Keith asking if I had settled in alright. “Awnnn
