All Chapters of My Billion Dollar Marriage Proposal: Chapter 71 - Chapter 79

Rolling With The Top Dogs Sebastian’s POV I drove into the parking lot of the luxurious hotel where the annual event for corporate topdogs in the country was being held. It was a party organized for the elite and powerful in the corporate world and once in a while, they invited those who were promising or trailblazers. Aileen told me earlier that Maria and Helena got the invite this year. I also saw the news on television and I contemplated cancelling but I didn't want to be tagged a coward by Ailene or Keith. It's been many weeks since I last saw Maria and this was because I had made intentional efforts to either avoid her or any news about her. I know that my actions may have hurt her, especially the day she waited all day at my office waiting lounge but then there was a part of me that felt like she deserved all of those treatments even though the other part of me misses her and wants to hold her in my arms again. But sadly, the part of me who wants nothing to do w

Catching A Glimpse Sebastian's PoV It was Saturday and since my mother started living with Ailene, I ensured to have breakfast with them every Saturday so that I could spend some time with them and catch up on how their week went. When I entered, I saw that breakfast was already set at Ailene's terrace. “Okay, darling. Enjoy your day and ensure to tell me all about it when you get back.” “Okay, Aiva.” I heard the sweet childish voice on the other end of the video call and knew that my mother was having facetime with Nathan. They had become so close, they always spent some time together. “Nathan says hello.” She informed Ailene after ending the call. “He is on his way to the new zoo downtown with Maria and is so excited about it.” “I can imagine how excited he is right now. His beautiful eyes would be aglow and his cheeks would be reddish with excitement.” Ailene replied with a fond smile on her face. As they talked about Maria and Nathan, I behaved as if I was not in

The Annual Corporate Conference Maria's POV The journey to Paris was more enjoyable than the last time because I was not treated as a first time speaker but a seasoned writer. Helena and I were taken to Paris with a private jet and when we arrived, we were lodged in one of the best penthouses in one of Sebastian's highrise buildings. When we entered the penthouse, Helena whistled and turned to me. “At this point Maria, I doubt that all of this is because you are a speaker. You were a speaker last year and we didn't get all of these.” I folded my arms and then raised my brow “Really? Why do you think we were given this type of treatment then?” “Isn’t it obvious? Sebastian of course. We came in his private jet and now we are in one of the best apartments in his highrise buildings.” I chuckled and shook my head. “You of all people know that Sebastian doesn't give a damn about me so yes, he may be the owner but it could have been that the panel decided that it had to be that

Flowery Moments Maria's POV My heart banged wildly as I rushed back to my penthouse after exiting Sebastian's room thinking that I would turn around and see him coming after me. “How could you do that, Maria? Come on, how could you do that?” I repeated to myself over again as I walked back. My body still trembled from Sebastian's touch and longed for it but my brain was seriously beating my body for betraying us. How could I just jump into bed with him after months where he ignored me and didn't even care one bit? How could I just jump into his bed after the naughty tantrum-like behaviour he displayed when I was with Vicenzo? I opened the door to the penthouse and when I entered, moved straight to the bathroom. “Are you alright, Maria?” I turned to see Helena on the sofa and she looked as if she had been waiting up for me. “What's the time?” “It's five AM.” I sighed resignedly and slumped down on the sofa in front of Helena, then bit my lip to prevent from cryi

Girl Time     Aiva's POV  I smiled when I heard Maria's hearty laugh as she listened to Ailene's joke.  Helena was at the other end fixing Nathan's buttons which had come off while he was playing around with the huge toy car that Sebastian had bought for him while he stayed here with Ailene and I.  Upon my request, they had visited a few days after they returned from the conference that took place in Paris.  “Here you go. Breakfast is ready, everyone.” I dropped the full jug of juice on the table that was already filled with a variety of food and wine.  I also instructed the maid to take Nathan to the smaller table nearby and feed him because I was certain that me and the girls may have adult conversations.  “Mom, I told you that Maria also saw the man with the huge jacket. He gave everyone a good laugh during the conference.” Ailene turned towards me with laug
