“I am not paying you to slack off,” Rex's baritone voice sounded in the room.

“Go through all of them and do a better job before leaving.” He hurried to say before Audrey could say anything while watching closely at her reaction.

“I would have to decline the offer, sir. It’s the close of work and I’ve made plans for the rest of the day..” Audrey tried to explain, matching the same energy with Rex.

“Oh really?” Rex quizzed with a frown.

“Yes, sir.” Audrey stated as a matter of fact.

“Fine then.

  • A Night With The Billionaire: Where Is Our Daddy?   You Were Born Into Wealth, Mister!

    Slamming the door shut in Rex's eyes seemed to awaken Rex from his dream. He sighed knowing that there was nothing he can say again to get Audrey to be honest and free with him.Every time he gets close enough, he blows up his chance to win her.Selfish? Parental care!?He is the one who is selfish for wanting to just enter their family like that after leaving for six years. He doesn’t even know Audrey was pregnant with his children till six years after. He judged her and condemned her all at once. He played with her feelings and made her into a trash can for Diane yet he called her selfish?What is even parental care when he relied on DNA to confirm that Zach and Zoey were his? What is parental care when all he’s done is to build a foundation where there’s no trust again?Rex stood by the door a long time, contemplating on what he’d do now that the plot has gone awry. He knows he keeps doing it wrongly but it’s not his fault. If there’s

  • A Night With The Billionaire: Where Is Our Daddy?   They Are Only Six, Audrey!

    Since the discovery of the report, Rex would follow Audrey home after work from a distance and just as Audrey would want to step inside the house, Rex would show up at the door, calling out to the twins and handing them sweets and balloons, playing and conversing with them so that it became a routine.The twins now know that he’d come every night to visit them and they always anticipate it and just like every other day, it was soon the close of work. Rex and Audrey had just rounded up a zoom meeting.“I look forward to working with you.” Rex smiled into the screen as it turned off soon after. The silence that followed was so thick, it drowned the entire office as Audrey didn’t even bother to say a word.“Hmm,” Rex cleared his throat, scratching the back of his head as he thought of what to say when Audrey cut him off.“I’ll leave if there’s nothing else.” And with that, Audrey left his office.One can say they still have their differences

  • A Night With The Billionaire: Where Is Our Daddy?   Trust Me, You Wouldn't Want To Be On My Bad Side

    Rex didn’t know what to say for a long time. Torn apart with what he heard from the kids, he began to ask himself questions that made him shiver, questions that were hard to brush off.‘Do I deserve them?’ It rang his head for a while as he allowed the silence from the room to drown him. Audrey indeed is a strong woman. Six years, she dealt with all kinds of comparison and was painted all shades of black. She was called names and like Zoey said, she constantly watched her back. Even as little as they were, Zach and Zoey are already going through the same fate and going strong when they are supposed to be playful like every other child of their age.His absence and ignorance have forced them to adapt to being mature at their young age, depriving them of the beautiful colors of the world outside. Just like in the mall, they have always been bullied and Audrey with just two eyes, didn’t know of this. They were smart enough to keep it from her becau

  • A Night With The Billionaire: Where Is Our Daddy?   You Are Our Daddy?

    Days turned into weeks since the incident at the mall, Audrey avoided Rex like a plague. She comes to work before anyone else to start the day's job and leaves when every other person leaves.Rex knew that if she continued like this, he wouldn’t be able to find out what secret she’s hiding. He knows Audrey's level of determination and toughness, he has come to understand how she thinks but he also understands that she’s a woman and women are complicated.“I need you to do a quick favor for me.” Rex says on the phone as he watches Audrey clock off work from his office window. “What does the almighty conglomerate of our city want this time!?” The anonymous person on the gender end of the phone says.“I want complete details of a person.” Rex says into the phone, his eyes filled with determination to find out what Audrey is hiding.“And who is the person? A rival?” “Audrey Hidalgo.” Came Rex’s short response that the person on the other end kept mute. “I need every detail to be forwar

    The loud noises of people around became nothing but muffled as Audrey’s each and every word echoed vibrantly in Rex's head. He couldn’t focus on the work at hand, his entire being was trapped in each sentence.It was a question; one that he really hoped for the answer to be positive. Earlier, he had gone to get presents for Audrey because she was finally giving him face and gradually coming to accept him. Who would have thought that a question would come to ruin everything?‘God damnit.’ Rex cussed, landing a heavy blow on the wall, making it dense. His whole body shook like an erupting volcano, even his body and soul felt the pain and stress. Rex remembered how Zoey’s eyes lit up when he saw her take off his mask. It was as if she had been waiting for a very long time for the day she’d meet someone she cherishes a lot.That feeling, words aren’t enough to describe it.It was like seeing light at the end of the tunnel, sudden peace and warmth enveloping him. In Zoey’s eyes, he saw

What would happen if she missed them?She was still running around helplessly when she saw the twins in the midst of an adult.

What does he want?All these questions triggered Audrey and she gritted her teeth in annoyance.“Zach, Zoey..” her deep voice called out, obviously suppressing her anger.How dare he trace her here and want to steal her babies f
