Hired for the Billionaire's Son 18. Doomed?
GENESISLana was still busy with Elon so she excused them and decided to go out for a little walk. Dante's mansion was in a secluded area so she had to walk a few minutes before she started seeing other buildings. Not too far from the estate's entrance, she saw a park and she went in and sat on a bench, watching other people go about their own activities. Seeing kids running around with their parents, families enjoying picnics, and even just people walking their pet reminded her of her life back home. Even though she was still sure that her decision to leave home was for her own best interest, she still missed her family. Underneath the dangerous lifestyle her father and brother lived, they shared a tight bond with the family. But living a life witnessing crime and atrocities was not what she wanted, it was even worse that both her father and brother never even thought of quitting that way of life. And it was so bad that she could rarely leave home, and whenever she did, bodyguards
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 19. Caught up
DANTEHe had confirmed that his mother indeed lived not too far. She had rented a room in a hotel not too far from the estate. He was not going to admit it to anyone, but the fact that she was lingering around scared him. Why was she so bent on watching his life? Well, whatever it was that she was planning, he was not going to let her go through with it. He has assigned people to report her every move to him: her locations, people she was meeting, and even things as little as what she purchased. Gloria was not going to have her way in this situation, not on his watch. Now he was unable to focus on his work and it angered him that that woman still had some kind of effect in his emotions. Out of frustration, he abandoned his work and left his home office, walking nowhere in particular, as long as it was away from his official responsibilities. It was in moments like this that he wished he had someone to just rant to, someone that would listen to him empty his head. He no longer had tha

GENESISShe couldn't even dare to blink, it felt like he was going to be right in front of her the moment she would open her eyes again. Somewhere in her heart, it felt good to see him again, but that did nothing to stop the fear that had taken over her mind. What exactly did he want? Why was he here? Did he come for her? Or he just happened to see her here? All those questions were jammed up in her head and she wished they would just stop, and that he would also disappear. But from the way he was looking at her, and that growing smirk on his lips, it was clear that he was not going to let her slip out of his radar now that he had found her. "Did you hear what I just said?" Fingers snapped before her eyes and she involuntarily blinked. "Huh?" Her eyes focused on Dante that was looking at her with just a slight bit of concern. "You said what?""We're leaving now, it's getting late." He said to her before he put Elon's binoculars in his backpack."Oh..." Genesis sighed and busied her
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 21. Confrontation
DANTE He could no longer bear it. He decided that he was going to find his mother where she lived and confront her. Maybe letting her know that he was aware of her plot was going to derail her a little bit. He went by himself, without any bodyguard. Surely, his mother would not be so heartless as to harm him. As soon as he walked into the reception, the receptionist flashed a bright smile at him, he was sure that she had done that so much that nobody could tell if her smile was real or not. The authenticity of her smile was none of his business, so he greeted,"Good day, Miss.""Good day, sir, how may I help you?" She still had on that bright smile of hers and it was beginning to get on his nerves for some reason. But he had to remind himself that she was not the cause of his mother's weird behaviour and she did not deserve to face his wrath. "I'm here to see Mrs. Gloria Henshaw." He said to her. "You can call her room and tell her that Dante is here to see her.""Alright, sir." Sh
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 22. Hello, Sister
GENESISShe was massaging Elon's legs, lost in thoughts at the same time. It was beginning to feel like she was losing her mind and these days, she spent most of her time in her head. It made her feel helpless knowing that there was nothing she could do to change this situation, all she could do was hope for the best. But from the look of things, the outcome of whatever was coming was not going to be good. And she feared, not only for her life, but of the lives of Elon and his father. She wished Gloria would just disintegrate and cease to exist; that was a cruel thing to wish for but Gloria was vile enough to deserve it. She was only pulled out of her thoughts when the boy yelped in pain,"Ouch!"She looked at his face quickly and he had a grimace on as he stared at his legs."What is it? Did I scratch you?" She checked her fingers but they were short, not even to scratch anything. And even if she did, the boy could not yet feel anything in his legs. Unless..."Elon, did you feel som

GENESISShe had frozen on that spot. She could not believe her eyes. He was really there, with his smile still as sly as she remembered. "R—Rodriguez?" She was stuttering. Saying his name out loud made him smile even more. "I see you've missed me a lot, little sis." He took a step closer to her and she immediately found the strength to turn around."D—don't come near me." She pointed at him. "Stay away from me.""Oh come on. I flew all the way down here just for you, you should be glad." He grinned wickedly. "Long time no see.""I don't need you here." She was already on the verge of tears. "Please, leave me alone.""I think you already know that there's no way in hell that is going to happen." He folded his arms and held her gaze. "You know why I'm here.""I don't." She blatantly lied. She knew why he was here: to take her home. He believed that every member of their family belonged in that lifestyle, that their generations to come were even going to continue their legacy."You're

DANTEHe had noticed that, lately, Genesis had been listless. She was now quieter and spent more time in her room, the only time she came out was to attend to Elon, he no longer found her chitchatting with Lana like before. At first, he was going to talk to her about it, but he did not want to seem like he was prying into her private life, nor did he want to seem like he was concerned, even though he actually was.But the situation was getting worse, he began to find her zoned out in random places, like in the garden, or the backyard, places where she could easily be alone. So he decided that he was going to speak with her before she gets tempted to do something that would harm herself. He found her in the kitchen today, he assumed she was making Elon's breakfast. And as usual, she was so lost in her head that she did not hear him come in. He cleared his throat to announce his presence and she did not even flinch, she was still slowly stirring whatever was in the pot that was in fron
Hired for the Billionaire's Son 25. Moment
GENESIS She had found out that staying out alone in the garden or backyard helped to reduce the chaos in her head, so she decided that she was going to expose herself to nature more often. She was currently in the backyard, her feet were bare in the grass as she focused on the singing of the birds. The feeling of the evening breeze against her face did something to calm her down. Even though the voices of fear in her head were still screaming at her, they were now significantly more subtle, almost quiet. She took in a deep breath and let it out as a heavy sigh. This was one of the few moments of peace her mind had had since the day she saw Rodriguez. But she almost jumped out of her skin when she heard Dante's voice from beside her."You just enjoy staring at nothing?" He had asked out of nowhere. Now, he was staring at her with amusement in his eyes. "You get scared too easily.""I didn't expect you to show up here." She told him. "It was like you appeared out of thin air."He snic
