The Billionaire Secret (Billionaire Series #1)

Stella "I DON'T WANT to get married, Stella," Ariela said softly as I fixed her wedding gown. I stopped what I was doing and sighed loudly. When I looked at her, her eyes were full of regret; the pain was visible in her eyes. It was as if she was saying to me that she wanted to run away on this important day. "But, we need a big share of the company now. We're about to sink into debt. Why are you backing down now?" I asked, confused, but instead of answering me, I was surprised at what she did next. Suddenly, she grabbed her stomach and started to cry. "Ariela," I called because I was already worried about her behavior. "Does your stomach hurt?" I asked again, but she shook her head and lifted her face, causing our eyes to meet. "Stella, I'm pregnant." She confessed, and just like a bomb that exploded in my ear on what she said. I just shook my head and laughed softly. Why does it need to happen right now? "Why did you just say that now? What are we going to do?" I was confuse

Stella "Hi, good morning!" I happily greeted him when I saw him coming down our stairs so I greeted him with a sweet smile which made him stunned. I want us to be as comfortable with each other. I didn't want to avoid it because it would be even more awkward so I adjusted myself. Jaxon might have a hard time doing that. "Ahm… are you going to work now? Early this morning?" I asked because I saw he was dressed in an office, so he nodded and averted his gaze. So I just nodded and without hesitation, I grabbed his two shoulders and passed him over to the table so we could eat together. I'm used to eating in the morning so I'm surprised because Jaxon seems to be shocked by what he sees now. After all, everything ready in front of him

Stella I AM AN EXCEPTION TO HIM? But why? I didn't get it. So I adjusted my seat again and looked at him seriously again. I want to know. I want to hear him explain. "Why?" My answer was short and I was almost out of breath when he approached me. With only a little space left, the rest of us will stick together. "Jaxon, I'm asking you. Why am I the only exception?" I asked again but he just stared at me and it moved to my lips. I don’t know but I was nervous at the stares he gave me. "Can I kiss you, Wife?" My brain almost flew at his question. My lips parted in shock and disbelief staring at him. Gosh, what are you saying Jaxon? Instead of answering me, he did this. "What-" I just interrupted when I felt his soft lips on my lips. My eyes widened, my body grew cold. It was as if my soul had fled. Even my heartbeat q

StellaI was moved by what I witnessed and couldn't stop crying. Jaxon abruptly lowered the cake off the small table and walked up to me when I noticed he was perplexed.He asked, concerned, "Stella, why are you crying? Did anything bad happen?," and I shook my head and sniffled before responding.I cried in response, and he hugged me and caressed my back to calm me down. "This is the first time that someone surprised me on my birthday, and you're the first man who did this to me, so I went emotional."I was joking, so he laughed and kissed my forehead. "Thank you, Jaxon. You're bothersome, I'm haggard now and you're going to make me weep. Maybe later I'll be ugly."My heart began to beat faster once more as I was yet again stunned by what he did. To suppress my smile, I bit my lip in secret.Hold it together, Stella. Take care of your heart and yourself.He said that's why I reprimanded him: "You're still lovely to me, Stella. Even if you still cry there, you're still so beautiful."

StellaHE'S JEALOUS? But why? Devron was the only one in front and I was talking. Until now he was just staring at me now so I couldn’t help but look at his eyes.His face was so dark that he was ready to take me if anyone tried to take me from him. So I took his hand and spoke."You don't have to be jealous of him, Jaxon. He's my cousin. No one is kidnapping me. Devron is my cousin." I made sure and there his face softened at what I heard.He bit his lip and laughed softly again. I don’t know why he’s laughing. He closed his eyes as if you were holding back on what he could do."I'm sorry, Stella. It just led me to how I feel. I'm just not used to you being with someone other than me. I feel like they can outdo me and make you like them." He said kindly and I just felt that he passed me and locked me in his arms.I close my eyes to what he did. I want to ask why is he jealous? Does he already feel anything for me? Or is he just used to being with me every day?But I'm afraid to ask h
