Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 47
Ryan's POVFor no reason, my heart keeps racing and I am having wild imaginations of what might have happened or what will happen.This man isn't safe. He isn't healthy either.Something is wrong somewhere. I keep asking myself if my Father is also responsible for how he fell unconscious right after I left his room or if this is a result of desperation.I have been trying to call Valerie all morning. It was ringing but she wasn't picking up. I was uneasy.I had to call my mom to ask her about Valerie and she said she hadn't seen her too and that did the trick.I was on the edge. My emotions were almost bursting out of my chest in fear that something bad had just happened to her too.Mrs. Adams is nowhere to be found and this is all too confusing for me to fix. When Valerie eventually picked up, she wasn't sounding tense or like someone in trouble and I hope she will be here soon.Her father is in there, the doctors aren't out yet and I don't even know what is happening.I am pacing
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 48
Valerie's POVKissing two men in a day is something I never saw coming. This is another thing that reminds me of my friendship with Brenda who used to call me a judgmental bitch jokingly.Now that I think of it, I'm sure she meant it.I always nag her for going out with more than one man in a day and she tells me it's nothing.All my life, I have always wanted Fred to be my only man. Even after he left, I didn't see the need to want to kiss some other man. I was irritated by the thought of it and now, I did not just kiss Ryan but also Fred in just a day.When Fred kissed me, I was mad. Mad at myself for allowing him to do that. And mad at him for thinking he can get me jelly in the legs by kissing me.But when Ryan kissed me, I wasn't mad. Disappointment is the word for what I feel. Almost two months ago, Ryan and I could barely stand each other. We signed a contract and he made some rules to ensure that we do not cross the line but he is the one breaking the rules himself.I am high
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 49
Ryan's POVWith my tongue laced over my lower lip in remembrance of the kiss and how cold Valerie was, I enter through the front door, holding firmly onto my briefcase.I haven't been able to get the kiss out of my head, even though I made a resolution to do that when Valerie began to act all cold toward me.I couldn't escape from the office earlier to go check up on them again at the hospital but I tried to call her and it wasn't reachable.I don't know if this restlessness is a result of the kiss or worry over her father's health and the answers we are bound to get at the end of this all.I just hope the truth about their relationship won't hurt any of us. If our parents aren't on good terms with each other, I fear what would happen between Valerie and me.I hate that side of her, to be honest. I hate to see the disdain in her eyes. We have gone past that stage and I really do not want us to go back to that again.I have been trying to sort out my feelings too and the reason why I k

Valerie's POVWith my hands tightly wrapped around him firmly and my head on his back, I let the sound of the motorcycle engine drown my thoughts, concerns, and worries.I am also ignoring the suspicion I am having about Ryan lying to me about the kiss. I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to enjoy the evening air brushing past my face and hair.If I wasn't in a sad mood, I would have loved to shout into the air with one of my hands flying around and the other holding onto Ryan as he drives.I don't know where he is driving me to but I don't care. I just want to be far away from that cold room and let my worries go.My father is still in the hospital. I wanted to spend the night with him but my mom insisted on having me gone. From her persistence, I can see how much she wants me and Ryan to work unlike what I told Ryan a few minutes ago.Even with that, I still believe that the person who needs this sort of assurance is his mom, not my mom. My mom is just after the mo
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 51
Valerie's POVMy chest feels like exploding as he slams his lips onto mine again, kissing me fiercely with his hands grabbing my hair firmly.He continues to seek entrance until I can no longer hold it in and stick my teeth together. The moment I open up, he kisses the insides of my mouth, then he begins to trace the outline and his hands make their way to my bosom.When he bites me solely at the edge of my lips, I realize what we are doing.It is frustrating how I get to ask myself a lot of questions yet I am unable to find any answers to the questions. Then the next minute, the question will manifest. Something related to the question will happen.Ryan has never looked serious the way he looks right now. Everything about his expression says that he meant what he said but I still can't believe he is kissing me again for the second time in a day.Quickly, I push him away breathing heavily. "What are you doing?!" I yell, trying so hard to control the racing of my heart.A few minutes
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 52
Valerie's POVFred and Brenda are the only ones who know that I am a virgin. No one else knows. Not even my mother. Because of the wild parties Brenda and I go to and the fact that I had a boyfriend, she must have assumed that I have lost my virginity.She never asked me but I know that is what she thinks. She is my mother yet she doesn't know a lot about me.If only Mother knows, I will think she told Ryan this behind my back but Mother doesn't know so who did?"You can't have sex with someone you don't love but you never had sex with Fred and you two have been together for years. Don't you love him?""Ho..w..how did you know that?" I find myself stammering as I ask him with intense curiosity."How I know doesn't matter, does it?""It does", I retort back, desperate for him to answer me.Silence ensues, except for the loud beating of my heart which I can hear. I continue to watch him, anticipating the answer to the question I asked him."I will answer you", he drops his hand from hi
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 53
Ryan's POVCelina has been blowing my phone up with calls for days. She never had a reason to call me all this while but seeing me again after so many years with a woman I call wife must be so bothersome for her.Valerie does not need to know who she is. Her topic annoys the shit out of me. I wonder how she got my number. She never called me once and then all of a sudden, she starts to call.When she first called and I heard her voice even before she introduced herself, I quickly hung up and I haven't been picking ever since then.This morning when she called, I blocked her from reaching me. She is too annoying and I blame her for Valerie's recent coldness.I have no one to blame. I don't want to believe that my offer is what is making her so cold. So Celina is at fault. It's been days already since I took her to the garden and she has been ignoring me on purpose. She has been spending the night at the hospital with her dad but last night, she came home and slept in her room.I he
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 54
Valerie's POVFather is refusing to answer all my questions. I gave him enough time before bombarding him with the questions but his aloofness shows how much he doesn't want to talk about it.Now, I am sure he knows something. I am sure he is either hiding something or he wants to protect Ryan's father just because he is my father-in-law.Just like Ryan said, how can we help him if we don't know what they had in the past?I try to touch him to see if I can persuade him once more when the door opens without a knock.I turn to the door to see Mother come in with a huge smile on her face. "Guess who is here?" She beams in excitement as she stretches her arms toward the ajar door and it reveals Ryan.I don't know if it's from my imagination or if Ryan is really looking upset tonight. His jaws are clenched and he is looking at me with a sort of new gaze that I can't point out.He enters fully and closes the door behind him.I didn't tell him that Father would be discharged today but I gue
