Denver hadn't eaten in the past two days now.

He actually didn't notice it until he stood at the kitchen counter and realized the only thing he had eaten the last two days was black coffee and bourbon with his guilty conscience eating him up.

  • The Billionaire's only exception    Running over her

    Adrain's phone lit up with a message from Alex.He stared at the message for about thirty seconds before his phone rang.Caller's id:Alex.He picked up from the first rang.“Talk to me” he said with his voice a little too deep from his usual voice,deep and sounded tired from exhaustion.But Alex's voice was steady as ever as he spoke.’ We found a man dropping the envelope by the door by eleven forty.”“Face?“Mask” Alex said. “And he probably knew where the camera was because was trying to dodge it”.Adrain face was filled with anger,he thought that the person behind it knew him very well to be able to know where his cameras were.“Which meant it was planned”. His jaw tightened.“Yes” “Did you track him?“We followed the footage and discovered he parked somewhere far from you,the car plate number matched one man named Carlos Osei,forty three years,no criminal record and he lives about forty miles away from you”.Before Alex would finish what he was saying,Adrain was already getting u

    It was eleven forty.Elera was still lying quietly at the same position she had been ever since she entered the room.She didn't come down for dinner as she wasn't ready to face Adrian again ever since he indirectly admitted to the letter.Jeremy was also frustrated about how everything turned out,but was just waiting for the right time to console her.He had knocked at her door several times that evening for her to open up at least to have her dinner even though she doesn't want to talk to anyone yet.He took the food made by the chef to her door as instructed by Adrian who was watching a few feet away from her door.But she didn't respond to either of them.Her phone battery was dead, Jeremy tried calling her but it didn't go through.The only sound they would hear from the door, was the sound of her crying and sniffing.Jeremy heart shattered,but Adrain owns was worst.When she didn't open up for dinner,none of them ate their dinner that night. They all went to bed with an empty st

  • The Billionaire's only exception    chapter 53: the space in-between

    Adrain came back home early as promised.Elara heard his key at the door and acted indifferent unlike her. She tried keeping her face calm to avoid him noticing anything.The door finally opened and he took off his coat walking into the living room from the hallway.He came in through the door and something shifted in his expression,he immediately looked at her face trying to study her.” Hey” he said to her.“Hey” came the reply. Something he wasn't expecting. Which indicates something was definitely wrong.He came into the room and loosen his collar and sat at the armchair across from her.He looked at her and something moved through his eyes.Caution.He had known Elara for some time now to notice that something was definitely wrong from the way she's acting,it was just a matter of time before he could find out.She reached out to the pocket of her cloth and brought out the envelope, dripping it at the table in front of them.She watched his eyes drop to the envelope and then back t

    The cafe Lydia chose was small and quiet. Lydia was already there when she arrived,seated at a corner with her coat still on and a coffee in front of her.Her face was carefully composed and her eyes lit up immediately she sighted Elera across the room.She stood as Elara walked up to her.“Thank you for coming”. Elara said.“Of course” Lydia said simply like there had never been anything complicated between them.” Sit down,you look terrible”.She sat.A waiter came and she ordered tea that she didn't want,but just because she needed her hands to be busy. Lydia watched her from across the table with certain quietness.” Tell me” she finally said after about a few seconds of letting her settle in.Elara looked at her and thought again if it was right to tell Lydia what's bothering her.But the question was in her bag and the question was still loud,and she was alone with all of it sitting with Lydia who was ready to listen to her rant.She brought out the envelope from her bag and set

  • The Billionaire's only exception    chapter 51: The letter

    The morning started, Jeremy was moving with the slow energy of someone who was really tired from sleeping so soundly last night in a bed other than the hospital bed.He made a terrible coffee just like what Adrain did the other time,but Elera drank it and said it was good.Adrain had left for work that morning after kissing her goodbye, something he does lately these days.Elara stood at the kitchen counter holding the coffee cup feeling the warmth of that morning.Everything was finally setting in a good way, Jeremy was back healthy,Lydia had apologized feeling remorseful of what she had done,the baby is coming finally, Adrain had finally owned up to his feelings.Life wouldn't be any better for her.That was she thought,not until the envelope arrived by eleven.No stamp,no return address,just her name written on the envelope,slid through the door like other mails do.When she received it,she stood at the doorway for about a few seconds before opening it.Jeremy was in the shower,she

    Elara was at the airport two hours early to welcome Jeremy . She stood at the entrance arrival gate with her coat still on and her hands not entirely steady with her eyes fixed on the door.Adrain stood beside her,he had insisted on going with her.He stood beside her calm and steady and every minute his hands would reach out her unsteady hands,just a little way of saying calm down.The door finally opened and there he was.Jeremy walked in looking thinner than she can remember with tired eyes but looked fine with his eyes scanning the crowd and his bag over his shoulder.He found her not too long,his face lit up. She was already running towards him.His arms flared open and she landed on his body hitting him harder than she had intended to. His arms came around her and she pressed her face into his chest.“Hey”he said into her hair,his voice was rough.”hey I'm here okay”.“ I know” her voice was trembling.He held her for a long time before pulling away, putting his hands on her shou
