Love, Lies and Billionaires Chapter 70
Her eyes traced her fingers around the black snake as her mind searched its depths for reasons and answers. “Familiar?” he asked She suddenly pushed him away from her and held her forehead. “I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me." “It's okay, it's fine. I shouldn't have pulled you that way," he apologised and continued his swimming. “The offer's still open if you want to take it. " Maren watched him and asked herself what that was all about. What did her head mean by familiar? Where has she seen that tattoo from? Or was it just the slut in her speaking? “Well, what the heck!” She said out loud and dove into the pool. “Now that's the spirit," Kendrick cheered with a smile as she swam from one end to another. “You really are an excellent swimmer," he complimented when she finally popped out of the water. “Took swimming lessons to get out of the house as a kid. But only for a short time, though." "Looks like it was a short time well spent. With that skill you'd do

A small part of the head popped out first, then the entire head before Maren's eyes rested on the face. A shiver ran down her spine and she could feel her heart skip a beat as they both stared at each other. “Hi" the male voice rang, tearing through her ear and drawing her slowly out of her shocked state. “Hi?" she managed to say, but it came out more like a whisper. She just could get her eyes off him as she watched the part of his hair which was still in the water float around. “Did I scare you? You look like you just watched a clip about how you'd die." His voice was calm. ‘I wish!’ her head screamed. Finally, she blinked away her thoughts and looked away from him. “Yeah, a little. I didn't expect anyone to be here." She could now hear her heartbeat in her ears. “Well, I didn't expect anyone to be here at all," he said and Maren now realised and wondered how he was bent so that only his head was visible even as she tried to see the rest of his body in the clear water. “I’m s

Water splashed around as people—mostly men dived into the pool. “Oh my god, I can believe I let you talk me into this, Nella.” Maren said, dodging the splash of water with a scowl in her face. She turned around as she didn't get a response and met no one coming behind her. She sighed and walked a few steps, looking around where she had just come from. “Nella?" She didn't walk too far as she saw Nella almost glued to a yellow-haired guy in trunks and dark shades. She seemed so annoyingly interested in what he was saying as she was laughing loudly and grinning so broadly, all while glaring at him. Maren could only roll her eyes and mutter, “Whore” “Oh my god, I really didn't even think of it that way,” Nella said out loud and broke into another feat of laughter which the guy reciprocated. “Do you mean—” they bumped into Maren, whose arms were folded but still managed to hold on to her drink. “Oh my, Maren. I'm sorry I didn't see you there” “What the fuck Nella" she said d

Alexander's eyes were now wide and red in fury. Veins appeared on the sides of his neck and forehead with his fists clenched beneath him. “So what you're saying is—” “I knew he was in pain. And I instructed it. How do you think he became like that in the first place?" Kendrick placed his elbow on the table, interlocked his fingers, and placed them under his jaw. His eyes sparked with interest. “Wow, I really did underestimate you. Please tell me more." “Apart from mom's part, I knew about everything. I observed it too, Kendrick, and chose to keep quiet to see what I could get from him. I won't deny I really thought I could gain a lot from him, but you were right. He was a pain in the ass” "god, that man was a monster. His health was failing quite alright, but I wanted to make sure he never came out of it easy and alive. I spoke with his doctor, our family doctor, and reluctantly helped me” “I vowed he would suffer Kendrick." He suddenly shit his eyes and caressed his t

"I bet you think you're better than me,” Kendrick echoed with a menacing grin on his face. “Did you ever think about why he treated us that way?" He asked rhetorically. "Because he knew the little boys who mom gave birth to. Mom was smart, too smart and yes, it did rub on us both and that was what dad was scared off,” Kendrick explained and Alexander just watched him in anger. Kendrick folded his arms and moved away from the table, but kept his eyes on his little brother. “How about a little story time, hmm?" He walked over to the fridge and took out a bottle of beer. “By the way, this is the best where I come from." He uncocked it and took a few gulps. “We used to be so close, Alexander. I mean, we only had each other. Mom was busy, dad was busy, we were alone. It wasn't any better when they both began having issues.” “I'm sure you can remember that part vividly because you were a victim of their violence once,” he said and took another gulp. “One thing you never noticed, d

His shoes made soft but heard sounds on the marble floor as he got out of the elevator. With his phone in one hand and a suitcase in another, he strode towards a large black door almost at the end of the hallway. He got to the door, then paused. Slowly putting away his phone. At the same speed, he stepped away from the brown foot mat in front of his door and took a look at it. His brows furrowed as the rug has slightly turned to the left. With carefulness, he turned it to its right position. Slowly and quietly, he pocketed his phone. His hands slowly reached underneath his long leather coat where his trusty Beretta was holstered. He pushed a button on the side of the large door and it began to open at a steady pace. Sure enough, someone was or had been in his office, as he was sure he'd put off all the lights in the office. Especially the one at the corner where his shelf of special documents was kept. His grip on the gun tightened as soon as the door opened wide enough for hi

"Good choice for a bribe," Maren said as she held a glass to her lips, looking at the houses in view. The night was pitch black, with only the full moon to brighten the sky. There wasn't so much wind, which was just perfect as they'd considered a roof top as their choice of location. There was not too bright lighting around them, which not only served as their source of illumination but also as a source of warmth. Alexander scoffed inwardly and waited till the server poured each of them a glass of the almost yellow coloured champagne. Maren stared at the rooftops of the glasshouses, trying to free her mind during this once in a lifetime chance to not work. “Shall we make a toast?” Maren turned to face him. “Alright." She picked up her own glass carefully. "A toast to life, new beginnings, and…" “Forgotten pasts?" A small smile appeared on Maren's face. “Too soon soldier." She clinked her glass on his even if he wasn't ready, then took a sip. “So sorry I couldn't make

The organ music swelled, as the procession began, led by a bishop, followed by Alexander's uncle's both the one she'd met at Alexander's hand over party and the old frail one who had escorted Maren to the altar on their wedding day. Behind them was Alexander and then Maren, who now had on shades again staring at the ground trying to avoid an unwanted angle from showing on the cameras of the press. The following behind was a sea of guests of notable figures from various fields who bothered to join in the procession into the church. The air was thick with emotion as they got to the altar and began dispersing to their various seats. On the other hand, Maren decided not to overthink it and simply walked over to where Nella was seated, making herself comfortable. It was when she had sat that she realised how packed to capacity the cathedral was with dignitaries, celebrities, and ordinary citizens all gathered to pay their respects. When all had settled in their places, the bis

The car came to a smooth halt at the parking lot of the cathedral, taking its place in the midst of many other cars. Maren's gaze fell on her reflection in the rearview mirror. The black eyeliner which she had used under her eyes made her look more moody than she already was. She silently thanked God that she hadn't thought of bringing Nathan to witness what she felt was coming, though he had begged to come along. Maren?” she heard Nella call, peering hopelessly through the tinted glass of the car. Maren turned to her reflection again and took a deep breath before getting her things together and getting out of the car. As soon as she got out, she put on her dark shades and bounced alongside Nella towards the main building. “Damn, I can't believe I'm doing this,” Maren remarked, looking away from everyone who stared at her longer than they should, knowing the shades were as good as useless in hiding her face. “What's there not to believe? You're here to honour your ex fat
