The Beautiful Billionaire Epilogue
ESTELLE Sixteen months later “Hey, baby.” I couldn’t help but smile. Who would have thought I could be this happy and contented with life? I had a thriving company. I had friends, families, and my baby Rae. And my parents turned out to be good as best friends. And my husband, my best friend, my lover, my anchor. God, how could I be so lucky to have a man like Gabriel Linden? “I’m on my way home. Where are you?” “I’ll be home in one hour. I’m still at Osmium. Do you need anything?” Linden’s company had three times more employees and opened two HQs in Dubai and Qatar. I was so proud of him. No matter how busy he was, he made sure to have time for me and his daughter. “Nope. Just checking how long you would be home.” I took over the chairman chair from my dad, but I always got so excited to go home to him and to be with our baby. “Why?” There was an excitement in his voice. “I could wait a few minutes in the tub. I thought you might wanna join me.” He groaned out a curse. “

LINDEN“What a surprise when I checked my schedule for today.” I rose from my seat to meet Moses Braddson, one of the world’s most powerful and influential billionaires, and he was standing before me, aging like a fine wine.“How are you, Gabe?” We shook hands before he pulled me into a hug like how he did to his son, Striker Cade, one of my brothers and best friends.“I’m good, boss. Thank you,” I replied as I pulled back. I still wondered what this visit was all about. He always called and met me in his estate if he wanted to talk, so Moses being here perplexed me.“Can I offer you something?”“Gabe, I’m like your father, and you’re still calling me boss and treating me like one.”“I owe you—”He gestured for me to stop. “You don’t owe me anything. I am the one who owed a huge debt to you.”“If you mean Cade, I will always protect his ass, take a bullet for him because that’s what brothers do, boss. I call you boss because I have a huge respect for you, and you’re my best friend’s f

ESTELLE “Are you sure you wanna go alone?” “I’ll be fine.” I looked at Quinn through the mirror as I did my final touch on my makeup. His tall and athletic physique stood at the door with brows squeezed together. His brown eyes pinned at me. Quinn Hunter had been my bodyguard for three years. He was loyal and dedicated and would do anything for me, even maybe catch a bullet— I hoped it would not come to that. When I had a conflict with my father, Quinn stayed even if Gustav Bladwyn was the one who hired him. I couldn’t ask for a better man to protect me than Quinn. “You know what to do,” he prompted, unimpressed. I sighed as I picked up my panic button. “Yes, sir.” “I’m serious, Estelle. Unless you wanna go back to your father.” “I just want a drink and walk down the beach alone.” “Are you,” he said hesitantly. “Going to bring home a date?” His question made me laugh. I turned to face him. His expression didn’t change. “What made you say that? Because I’m going out alone? Y

LINDEN I’d been staring at the ceiling in my hotel suite for an hour and couldn’t sleep. I wanted to update Moses that I found Estelle Bladwyn, but it was too early to go with the plan. I didn’t want to spook her and Quinn.I picked up my phone and went through her Instagram account. Still, she hadn’t uploaded anything new except for Star Cosmetics and Star Activewear accounts, which the social media manager handled.I couldn’t believe her father wanted her to marry for a business alliance. It wasn’t new to me. In fact, my brothers married their wives through arranged marriages. Thankfully, they were all happy. Estelle, on the other hand, was another story. Gustav Bladwyn didn’t mention this important part, and so as Moses. Why? I was going to find it out, and the man arranged to Estelle.She was stunning, though— hot as fuck. She was funny, but I could see the distrust in her eyes, given that her own father had broken her trust. I got it. She didn’t know me. I guessed it was a good

ESTELLE Quinn was waiting for me at the door. The villa was too big for both of us but safer, and I valued my privacy very much, considering my current situation. “I’m early, am I?” Quinn took the bag of the dinner I brought for him, still wearing the same expression since I left hours ago. “You’re mad at me?” “I feel useless. You might as well fire me if you just want to bench me.” “I have pepper spray and know a few basic self-defense moves.” “That’s not funny, Estelle. When you are in that situation, you will forget everything you know. You will panic.” “What situation exactly?” I lifted my chin. “That someone will kidnap me?” “What if someone will recognize you and spike your drink?” “I’m sure you paid some locals to tip you if I’m in trouble.” “You always have answers to everything. I hope we won’t come to that, Estelle, because I would never forgive myself if something happened to you, and I wasn’t there to protect you.” Quinn left, leaving me in the Mediterranean-sty

LINDEN Estelle agreed to a boat ride but didn’t want to swim. She was already wearing a skimpy tiny yellow two-piece that barely covered those goods. And she had an ass that was made to be gripped hard. When I agreed to find her, I knew I would be in trouble, but Moses was like my second father, and he never treated me differently despite how wealthy and powerful he was. And even if I wanted to retreat, it was too late, and I was not the kind of man who left unfinished jobs to others. I’d never had a hard-on watching women in swimsuits, but Estelle had this effect on me that I could no longer ignore. And her skin is so soft and smooth against my palm. I’d touched a lot of women’s skin, but something different, when I touched her, it sent jolts of electricity in my spine, rushing in my balls. I faltered and jumped into the water, knowing it was cold, freezing my ass, and she just watched me from the boat. For the past few months, I managed to hide my desires, control my need, and

ESTELLE A thrill ran through me. I thought I’d be embarrassed and go home defeated, and there was a fat chance he’d deny me, but it was a home run when Linden shut me up and smashed his lips against mine. My legs instantly went weak, my skin buzzing. It was highly unlikely I could pull a stunt like that. I’d never done and said something so bold because mostly men came to me and flirted with me. Linden, on the other hand, was different, and it was luck that I wore him down on his no one-night stand rule. When he kissed me with urgency as if he’d been dying to do it for hours, I kissed back with the same hunger, and he was the best kisser by far from the men I’d kissed before. The subtle pull of the string of my top and the subtle move of his hand down back, clutching my butt as an invitation, made my skin burn with need. I lifted my leg and felt the growing urgency in his bulge and the raw need through his kiss. While our mouths were busy and our tongues fought for dominance, I

LINDEN I just had the best sex in my life. Now that she got what she wanted, I expected her to get up and wear back her robe and pretend it never happened, but it didn’t happen. Estelle stayed in my arms, placed her hand over mine, and seemingly checked how big my hand was. “We didn’t use a condom.” The moment the word condom came out of her mouth, I froze and felt a cold bucket of water thrown over my face. And I honestly didn’t have one. I swallowed hard. “Shit. Fuck. I forgot. I swear I’m always responsible and never slept around without condoms. I guess I was too caught up in our moments, but I promise I’m clean. I’ll show you my test. And I just had it three weeks ago. It’s random for us to get tested as part of physical—” “Wow.” I snorted. “You have more than ten sentences when it’s also my fault. I never had anyone in two years. Just so you know, I’m still on pills.” Oh, thank fuck. I let go of a sigh of relief as I straightened my spine. “Why?” My query had her back stif
