BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET GODDESS

It was evening, with the soft wind whistling through his ears and sending slight shivers down his spine.He cared less about that. All that engulfed his soul was the need to keep walking farther away.Taking careful and calculative ambles, he strolled farther off into the woods.At a distance, he caught a glimpse of a glimmer of light, flashing at a mountain top. As though that were a signal to him, he hurriedly walked towards there, following a pathway that stood as a guide.He came across a meadow that looked so green and lovely. It was a pleasant sight and almost immediately, he felt at peace.The mountains in the surrounding had peaks that looked sharp and at the same time, cruel. The sky above the meadow was pleasurable and a feast for the eyes. It was bright blue and filled with pairs of fluffy white clouds.A calm and clear river ran through the center of the meadow and as he approached it, he became more certain and convinced that he had finally found peace; something his hear

Emily was running late to work. Just as she approached the restaurant where she worked, it became evident that she was at the verge of losing her job.“Hello Miss Emily, where are you heading to?” She heard a voice that made her shudder in fright.It was that of her manager; someone she dreaded so much. Emily took in a deep breath and slowly lifted her face to meet that of her manager.She was out of words to utter, and all she could do was gape at him as though she had seen a ghost.A massive scowl made its way to his face as he took a careful look at her. From all indications, he was displeased and tired of her presence.“I'm so sorry sir, I, I was quite ill this morning”, Emily apologized as her voice trailed off.A loud laughter emanated from the manager, making Emily jerk up in surprise. She stared at him in disbelief while he laughed in mockery.“You really expect me to turn so soft and feel compassionate after your fabricated excuse, isn't it?” He asked in a stern voice, stari

Emily knew his usual meal, because she had been the employee in charge of serving him whenever he came around.A silent smile curved on her lips as she bowed and left the table. “A plate of Cobb salad and banana split”, Emily said to the employees who stood at the counter to dish out the various meals.Inwardly, she felt extremely excited that she had the privilege to know what his favorite meal was. Giggling silently, she collected the tray of the meal and headed back to Richard, who was clearly lost in thoughts.His attention was glued to a particular direction, which Emily trailed with her eyes.Opposite where Richard was, two beautiful couples sat together, with their hands entwined and their faces carrying extreme excitement and love.It was lovely!Emily gulped down hard as she took slow and unsteady steps towards Richard, who couldn't get his gaze off the couple.Emily was 20, but still naive and unclear about matters of love and relationship. She only caught a glimpse of cou

Richard sat on the dining table, sipping from his herbal brew and thinking of the day’s event. He had always visited the restaurant, but today’s episode seemed to be quite different because he observed something that sent chills down his spine.“How could I have observed her just today?” He mumbled to himself as images of Emily kept flashing in his memory.The moment their eyes met, he felt a connection that he never had with any other woman. It seemed as though they communicated with each other through their stares and it amused him more to think that he had really felt that way.After a while of reminiscing over the day’s event, he finally decided to have some rest.Earlier, his wife had told him that she might not return and so, he resolved to staying alone all night.It wasn’t a new thing to him. Even, whenever she stayed in the house, they usually ended up with arguments on things that didn’t actually matter.He dropped the mug on the kitchen counter and took careful ambles towa

Emily tossed on her bed as she struggled to get some sleep. It was past midnight and all she could think of was how to get a job and pay her bills that would be due soon. She ruffled her blanket and threw it over her face in a bid to get some sleep. It was pointless, because the moment she closed her eyes, the different disturbing thoughts swung in.Finally, she sat up and picked up a bracelet that laid on her bedside stool. It was gold, with glitters that shined so bright even in the dark.That was the last present she had gotten from her parents before the accident that claimed their lives on her birthday. Her mother had entered her room by 6:am in the morning, with a little heart shaped cake and a candle on top of it.“It’s your big day my love, make a wish”, her mother had said to her with a bright smile that made her heart elated.She blew off the candle a minute later after which she was pulled into a warm hug. Her father who had been watching them from the door trudged forwa
