ANTONIO

I watched her sleep and It was disarming.

Her breathing had evened out and her face had softened in a way I hadn’t seen before. The tension she carried so naturally…the one she wore like armor was gone.

And it did something strange to me.

I leaned back slightly, studying her.

Her hair had fallen loosely around her face, a few strands brushing against her cheek. The oversized shirt she wore had ridden up just enough to reveal the curve of her thigh, her legs tucked slightly beneath her.

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   What are you?

    ANTONIO“You’re staring at the door again.” Clarissa said, as her voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I blinked before turning toward her.“What?”She snorted softly as she adjusted the book in her arms. “You are staring at the door waiting for him to walk in, aren’t you?”Heat crept into my face immediately.“I was not staring at the door.”“You absolutely were.”I rolled my eyes and looked away before she could see the embarrassment on my face.The morning had already felt strange from the second I stepped into the arts building, or maybe that was just because I had expected him to be there.And he wasn’t.Honestly though, that was probably for the best, especially after last night. I had absolutely no idea how I was supposed to act around him right now.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the look on his face inside the car. And then his father’s words replayed in my mind right after.You look like my wife.The fuck was even wrong with that whole family to begin with?“Y

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   What if she knows the truth

    ANTONIO“So let me get this straight,” I said, my voice low as I stood up from the chair in front of him. “You’ve been a mole for the police force within the mafia for all these years?”My father didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look ashamed of it at all.If anything, he looked… tired.“Something like that,” he said, leaning back in his chair like we were discussing business over dinner instead of the foundation of everything I thought I knew about him. “I feed them information. In exchange, they don’t interfere with my work… or that of my family.”A hollow laugh left me.“Your work,” I repeated. “That’s what you’re calling it now?”He ignored that, as he took a quick gulp of his drink again.“Why would you even keep something like that to yourself all these years?” I asked, stepping closer, my gaze locked onto his. “You expect me to believe you just casually decided to play both sides and never thought to mention it to your own son?”His jaw tightened slightly.“It started after your mo

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   It had to be done

    ANTONIOPerhaps I shouldn’t have let her go like that, I thought, under my breath as I watched her disappear behind the door of her apartment building.For a moment, I just sat there. Hands gripping the steering wheel, as I prayed that she might just walk back out in her normal stubborn nature and demand an explanation for it all. Perhaps I would give her one then.But of course it never happened.I exhaled sharply, leaning back into the seat, dragging a hand down my face.I had fucked that up. But I knew it had to happen.There was one thing and one thing only that I needed her to understand and that was how dangerous my father actually was. She needed to stay far away from him at all cost.I let out a slight chuckle now, as I thought about how she was the only thing that was stopping me from plunging the knife on the table into his throat and ripping out that lying tongue of his. The fact that he sat there with that perfect, charming smile of his and fed her just enough truth wrappe

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   What is happening

    AURORAI watched as Antonio’s father cleared his throat and shifted his chair backwards. “Are you leaving already?” I asked, as the question slipped out of me before I could even stop it. The whole dinner had been a very enlightening one; enlightening in the sense that I now knew how much Antonio actually hated his father, and it was a lot. Even now, as I sat here I could still feel the hatred pouring out of his body in waves.His father paused midstep and smiled at me with that same polished smile that he had worn since the moment he arrived. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Aurora,” he said, his voice smooth like aged wine. “We should do this more often.”I smiled in return. “I’d like that.”I wasn’t even sure if I meant it.His gaze lingered on me for a moment longer than necessary before shifting past me.“See you, son.” He said to Antonio.I turned instinctively toward Antonio who was staring at him with those cold, blank eyes of his. His jaw was clenched so tight that I thoug

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   Touch her and I will ruin you

    ANTONIO“Why isn’t her phone going through?” I muttered under my breath, as I pulled the phone away from my ear for what had to be the fifth time.The call had failed again and that wasn’t exactly something that happened with Aurora. She was chronically on her phone, I remembered because I had to take it from her the day I told her to paint that apple.“Come on, Aurora…” I muttered, hitting redial again.Straight to nothing. Just dead.My jaw tightened up at this. Normally I would have ignored and went on with my day, after all it wasn’t like why I was calling her was so important. I had just wanted to check up on her and see if she was alright since I didn’t get the chance to turn in today.Even now, as I thought about it I wondered why I was doing it in the first place. I had to remind myself that this was a fake relationship after all, I didn’t necessarily have to talk to her every day or pretend in private.At the back of my mind I knew this wasn’t pretence though, I had just genu

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   You look just like her

    AURORAI squinted as the sun hit my face. I hated the fact that I didn’t come out with my shades today of all days.“Fuck this weather.” I muttered under my breath, as students passed by in clusters, laughing and arguing.I looked into my bag at that moment, as I pulled out my phone, tapping the screen for it to come on, but there was nothing.It dawned on me at that moment that I hadn’t plugged it in.“Oh shit,” I whispered, pressing the power button again like that would magically fix it. “I forgot to freaking charge it.”I let out a small groan, dragging a hand through my hair. Of all days for my phone to die, it had to be today. Antonio hadn’t shown up at school and hadn’t said anything either. I was about to call him to find out why, but now this.“Great,” I muttered. “Perfect timing.”I turned slightly, already thinking about heading back inside to plug my phone in for a few minutes. Just enough to get a little battery, make a call, make sure everything was…I stepped forward,

  • Mr Billionaire wants a bride   Hang in there a little longer

    SERAPHINA“Wow,” I heard Darren say, as he pushed the door of my office open and stepped inside. He was accompanied by that fly of his; Greta, who was always buzzing by his side. “That was honestly inspiring.”I looked up from my desk slowly, pen still in my hand as I met his grin with a flat stare

    SERAPHINA“First of all, if you are being serious, I will have my legal team draft out a contract,” he said calmly. “You will review it with independent counsel and once it is signed, then we will go about the necessary procedures needed to get married.”As he spoke, I still couldn’t believe that

    TRISTAN“You remember that girl from the club?” I began, as I dodged Julian’s glove which was aimed at my jaw and countered with a sharp hook to his ribs.“What girl?” He replied, visibly in pain.I had not known how to bring up the whole conversation since. It was better to just rip it off now ins

    SERAPHINA“So, what’s next?” I asked,The whole room had suddenly become extremely heavy right after the whole thing. I had just signed a contract that in a way rewired my entire life and I still wasn’t sure exactly what to make of it all.Tristan picked up the papers from the table and placed it n
