Billionaire's Marriage Bid (English) PROLOGUE
TRIANA remained stoic as her tears slowly cascaded down her cheeks. She held a white rose and gently put it in her father’s metal casket. They were inside the mausoleum of the Allende family. And most of the people who attended the burial had already gone home. Only the immediate family remained. It took her a while to accept that this was real. Everything that happened to her father was unexpected. She went home on vacation from the United States for Christmas Eve, but this bad news greeted her. Trevor had suffered a cardiac arrest, and he died on arrival at the hospital. Triana couldn’t believe it, since her dad was too young to die. He was only forty-nine! And now, he couldn’t even be with his family to celebrate the holiday season. Celebrating New Year’s Eve without him made her heartbroken. “Ria…” She looked down at her ten-year-old twin brothers, Travis and Tristan. Their eyes were swollen from crying so much since they were so close to their dad. Trevor al

Three years later TRIANA immediately kissed Caleb’s lips when she saw him waiting outside the door of her friend’s house, Lara. Caleb fetched her since they agreed to see each other tonight. She had to see her friend immediately when Lara called her. Her house was only a few blocks away from hers. Lara was heartbroken when she found out her longtime Nepalese boyfriend got married when he went back to Nepal a few weeks ago because of an arranged marriage. She didn’t want to leave her tonight because she needed a shoulder to cry on, but her boyfriend was adamant that they couldn’t cancel their date tonight. “I’m sorry for being pushy today, darling,” Caleb claimed her lips again. Her lips turned up to smile after they broke the kiss. “It’s all right, I understand.” Triana was dating her dream man, Caleb Ortega. He was the CEO of a well-known construction firm in the Philippines. They had be

TRIANA immediately went home after her date with Caleb. She was still stoked! She couldn’t help herself from smiling while walking going inside the house. But she halted when she saw the twins standing near the main door, waiting for her. “Where have you been?” Travis asked, looking bored. Beside him was Tristan, holding a tablet. The twins were identical, and the only noticeable differences were their haircut and height. Travis was taller but chubby with short curly hair, while Tristan was slimmer with messy curls. Triana already visualized these two being a girl magnet once they grew up. At their age, a lot of girls from their class had a crush on them. “Mom is waiting for you,” Tristan seemed impatient. He immediately turned his back on her while Travis held her arm. “I think Mom is kind of mad,” Travis pointed out to their mother, sitting on the couch while her arms crossed. “Why, what happened?

AFTER arguing with her mother, Triana did not hesitate when she booked a flight to Nepal the next day. She never expected that she would face this harsh reality. She came back to the Philippines a month ago after finishing her master’s degree at Harvard, majoring in Business Administration. Bullshit! She wanted to discern. The future of her family would depend on her decision. She needed to make the most of her vacation. She joined an international team scheduled to trek to the Everest Base Camp. It would take her two weeks. And it was enough for her to think before making a decision. Caleb wanted to join her, but he couldn’t go due to his busy schedule. Triana hadn’t told her boyfriend about her current dilemma. The only thing Caleb knew was her going to unwind before they married.And have her trek of a lifetime. And surprisingly, Lara joined her. She immediately agreed when Triana told her about the de

DEVANCE immediately sat on the black leather couch when they arrived home in Bhaktapur. The house was only a ten-minute drive from the airport. The traffic was tolerable, and they didn’t have a stressful trip.“Shall I call Vijay to check the chopper for tomorrow?” Austin asked. He referred to their private pilot, who maintains the family-owned choppers in Nepal.They had two helicopters at home. Both were parked at the helipad of their mansion on the sixth floor. They often used it when the whole family was on vacation here and usually when they wanted to see the Everest Region from above.“Yeah, let him check the engine. I’ll pilot the chopper going to Lukla.” Devance breathed out.Devance might be easy-go-lucky, but he was a licensed private pilot. He had the rank of captain, carrying four stripes in his uniform. He attended a prestigious aviation school in Amsterdam a couple of years ago.

“CALL me, Nim, and I’ll be your guide for this EBC trek.” The man introduced himself. And then he looked at his two companions. “These are Adesh and Hem, your porters.”The porters lightly arched their heads. They seemed shy. At the same time, Nim exchanged a firm handshake with everyone.“I’m Nehan,” he said as he stood beside Lara.“Lara.” She raised one hand.“I’m Austin.” He grinned and pointed the man at his side, “and this is Devance.”Triana’s one brow raised, and she couldn’t help but say something unfriendly. “Is your friend mute or something?”But she was a little dumbfounded when the man raised his hand for a handshake. “I didn’t know you wanted my name that bad. You can call me Dev. What’s your name?”Everyone made fun of them. The team was teasing that they make a good pair. Triana felt as if all her blood had surged up. She looked at her companions before she accepted the man’s hand with hesitation.“Triana.” She casually put her hand in the pocket of her gray trekking p

EVERYONE went back to the trail in the morning time after they had their breakfast at the inn. Triana tried her best to ignore Devance because of what happened a few hours ago. Her hatred towards the man grew even more. She couldn’t stand his overly confident attitude. He was so full of himself! His presence alone made her feel uneasy.And speaking of the devil, it seemed he had already developed the habit of pestering her. Devance walked in her direction, and their eyes met.“Hey, Austin! Can you please look at my hydration pack,” he was smirking and not breaking his eye contact with her. He uttered those words in the Filipino language.Austin quickly came over. And he answered back in the same local language. “Why, is there a leak? I checked it earlier. I made sure it’s fine.”Triana gaped at them as her jaw dropped. She could not believe these two could speak Tagalog with ease!Austin glanced at her. He seemed to enjoy making fun of her, too. “Are you surprised, my lady? We are Fil

TRIANA woke up in an unfamiliar room. She massaged her temple because the throbbing pain would not subside. It took her a while to finally move free while remembering what happened.Her eyes widened when she realized what had occurred during the trek. She recalled her severe altitude sickness. Probably Lara had been worried, and the team despised her for ruining the itinerary of their trek. They were about to reach the Basecamp in a day, but she was careless about her health.Triana got up and leaned on the headboard. Her eyes traveled around as she studied the room. Based on the luxury fixtures around her, she was not in a hospital because she recognized some famous paintings proudly mounted on the wall.What is this place, and where is Lara? Stretching her legs down carefully, she could stand without being lightheaded. She started to walk unhurriedly, going to the terrace to know her location. The sun was already up, and a cold wind greeted her.It appeared that her room was locat
