All Chapters of My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

True Intentions Maria's POV After Ailene visited, I decided to look into the information she gave about Pierre Laurent. I liked him when we initially met, even had increased heartbeats from time to time when he stared at me as a woman would stare at a woman he wanted in between his sheets. But amidst his jokes and caring nature, I felt like there was something off about him. It was as if a dangerous predator was waiting for an opportunity to strike. He would always say things like. “Can we finish this in my penthouse?” “Would you like to accompany me to the New elite hotel in town? Just to check out the rooms, I am looking for an alternative for when my apartment becomes too still.” One night, we were in my office tying up loose ends in our work document before moving to the final stage of the deal. It was a lot of work and I had been driving the team non-stop so I decided that they should all go home to rest and I will finish up by myself. Pierre insisted that he wo

Breakfast And Strategies Maria's POV “Helena, Is it very bad? What you found out about the business deal?” I heard Sebastian ask then he sighed and pushed his palm down his face after listening to Helena for a while. What is going on? I know Sebastian infomed me last night that Helena was helping out with the document. What did she find out? “What's going on, Sebastian?” I decided to ask him so I would have an idea of what's going on before Helena arrived. “Hi” He replied softly moving towards me then he said. “I want to hug you.” I noticed that he had changed from the corporate outfit he wore last night to sweatpants and tee shirt. I loved the look. I stretched my hands and wrapped my hands around his neck then he bent downwards and wrapped his hands around my waist. We stayed in that position for a while and I soaked in his warmth and the safety he represented. “Helena has taken Nathan to school. She is on her way here.” He informed me softly while still in my a

Dinner Before The End Helena’s POV “Tell me again what Keith said.” Maria looked at me as if I was acting in French or some other language she did not understand. “He said we have to go for a special dinner. It's special so I have to make an effort.” “What does that even mean, Helena? You always make an effort. You always look good.” I shrugged and tried on another gown. “What about this? What do you think about this one?” She looked at me for a while then said. “Nahh, I liked the previous one better.” We continued that way until I finally picked out a gown, shoe and other necessary accessories. I had no idea what Keith was taking me to but he sounded different so I did what he wanted partially because of curiosity. Sometimes, I still felt like Keith was with me because he wanted something serious. For a while, I started feeling like addressing the real reason why I didn't indulge in serious relationships. I also knew that if I embarked on that journey, I would c

New Beginnings Or New Troubles? Maria's POV I stared at Helena as she quietly stared her cup of coffee. She had been quiet since she got back from dinner with Keith. No, she had ranted madly when she came back that I was scared she would wake up Nathan.After that day, she had been very quiet. I gave her some space because I knew that she wanted to process her thoughts and make her decisions but I felt like it was time to talk to her. “Are you alright, darling?” I asked her, grateful that it was very early in the morning so we didn’t have to prepare Nathan for school yet or ourselves for work even though I had a big opening to prepare for. “Yeah, just in my feelings.” “When was the last time you talked to Keith?” “That dinner night.” “Oh, wow! Has he tried to reach out?” “Yeah, but I don’t want to talk to him. What he did was crazy.” “That means you are not sad and quiet because of Keith.” I stated the obvious. “Uhnn hell no, I am not. I am just thinking about t

Timeless Moments Maria's POV The door beeped and opened and then Helena came in with her signature scent rushing inside before her. “Lena, it's good you came home early. I am about to go crazy picking one of these for Sebastian.” I said while looking down. “How did your day go by the way?” She sighed and slumped down on the chair in front of me. “My day was good. I officially ended my relationship with Keith Bolt.” “Oh my!” I reached across the table and grabbed her hand. “How was it?” “To be honest, Maria. It felt freeing. I felt like I finally released him, and I told him to go be with who his heart really yearns for.” “You did that. You told him to go and be with Ailene?” “Yup. It's about that he did something and not hungrily stare after her like some starved kid.” I knew she was telling me something serious but then I bent forward and laughed. “I don't even know if to call you savage or strong.” “What do you have over there?” She said, nudging her head towards
