Nat was in his office, slightly bored, idly playing with a multicolored Scrabble set—orange, yellow, purple, green, and red. He felt content. Until Alicia stormed in.

She had a cunning stare in her eyes, her gait marked by a teasing sashay. She looked as proud as an eagle, as though she were certain the world belonged to her, as if she held it in the palm of her hand.

Nat looked at her, brows furrowed.

“What do I owe this auspicious visit?” he asked.

She took off her glasses and stared at him.

  • The Billionaire’s Desire: Owned By Him    Chapter 81: A Queen was born

    Zara began her morning with a surprise from a band. Drummer boys rolled into her room dressed in their band uniforms—red, with caps crowned by feathers. She was torn from her sleep’s reverie, stretching and yawning, her eyes heavy with confusion as she stared at them. Nat was nowhere in sight, only three strangers making noise. It charged her nerves; they were disturbing her peace, her quiet, blissful peace. Yet, she felt something was about to happen, but she couldn’t quite grasp or point her fingers around it. It wasn’t until the trumpeter stepped in, playing a solemn rhythm—Happy Birthday to You—that she realized it was, indeed, a surprise.She laughed, pressing her hands to her mouth. A trio of girls followed, carrying baskets of gifts, and one of them placed a balloon over the bed.Zara laughed harder, because her life had become a movie—a cinematic one, where only the remarkable and the splendid ever happened.Nat entered then, holding a box wrapped in silk. “Happy birthday da

  • The Billionaire’s Desire: Owned By Him    Chapter 80: A second diamond

    Zara broke the news to her siblings in glee.She held her fingers up in the air, showing them to Jean with flair. The diamond ring glittered with effulgent luminescence, a second real diamond added to her collection.Jean took her hands in hers. Her mouth hung open in surprised shock as she touched the ring, feeling the stone.“Oh my God,” she said.She looked at Zara. “It’s so beautiful.”Zara blushed, feeling flattered.“I know, right?” she said.“Congratulations… sis… this is huge.” Jean hugged Zara and pecked her cheeks, producing a smacking sound.Zara’s blush deepened. Goosebumps rose on her skin from her sister’s genuine joy, joy that came from seeing her life finally take on the shape of meaning.“Wow… getting married to the billionaire,” she teased.Zara laughed. “He should have done this ever since, but anyway that’s a story for another day.”“When is the wedding? And please, I’m already your chief bridesmaid.”Zara chuckled lightly. “Of course, baby. That’s settled.” She h

  • The Billionaire’s Desire: Owned By Him    Chapter 79: “Titanic me”

    In the store called Kiddies, they shopped for baby clothes, teddy bears, toys, and bath kits. Zara thought they were too much for a baby that was barely two months in her womb. They shopped as if they wouldn’t have another opportunity later, loading the cart full while Nat helped her trail it along.“Do we shop blue or pink?” Nat had asked earlier.“Both.”“Unisex then.”The receipt was over ten thousand dollars.“Billionaire baby coming through,” Nat teased as he wheeled the cart, holding the receipt in hand.He dropped her off at his house, beckoning to her to move in quickly with him.“What about my siblings?” Zara asked after a while of contemplating.“They’ll be fine,” he said easily.“Sure?”“I think they like to live alone together. They’re grown-ups, you see.”“I don’t trust those two,” she said reluctantly.“Then set up a CCTV camera. You can monitor them.”Zara punched him lightly, cackling.“Come here, sexy,” he said, kissing her.“Can’t wait to have our child running aroun

  • The Billionaire’s Desire: Owned By Him    Chapter 78: Breakfast in bed

    Nat was the first to wake up. He looked at her as she purred in her sleep—her beautiful skin, her flowing and bouncy hair. She lay on his chest. He perceived the smell of coconuts as he removed her hands from his embrace and got up. He headed for the kitchen. He made pancakes—fluffy slabs loaded with sugar, honey, and raspberry topping. His tank top did not hide his muscular arms, the way his hunk body looked sexy and felt overpowering to her in bed.The aromatic smell of food woke her up, jolting her from her dreamy state. She smiled as Nat brushed her hair to the side, massaging the soft lobe of her ears so tenderly, so delicately. He had certainly been entangled, caught in the delicate threads of romance, and so had she.“Good morning,” Zara said, yawning and sitting up. She removed the duvet covering her lap, revealing her pink silk robe.“Morning, beautiful,” he said. “I made you breakfast.”She held the tray and sipped the coffee.“Thank you,” she muttered softly under her brea

  • The Billionaire’s Desire: Owned By Him    Chapter 77: Perhaps a sunrise

    At the penthouse, his motions were frantic as he paced up and down in the dim light of the apartment, waiting for a reply, for feedback. The lead gangster, Thompson, called him.“Boss, I’m at your door,” he said.They came in, three of them in their all-black outfits. Men in Black. They had guns tucked into their trousers behind their shirts, which were slightly visible. Nat held out his hand as he collected the box containing the laptop and the teddy bear in a bag.“This is all?”“All that she said there is,” the lead said.“Sure there’s none other?” he asked.“Nope. We put her under duress and gave her a hot smack, but she wouldn’t budge. This truly is all there is.”“Good job, guys,” he told them, admonishing their expert operation.They smirked faintly. Nat sat down and began unboxing. They stared at him like he owed them something, a fortune.“What?” Nat quipped.A murmur rose like a haze of dust.Then he realized they wanted a tip.Greedy boys, he thought to himself. Certainly

  • The Billionaire’s Desire: Owned By Him    Chapter 76: Just the beginning

    He dropped Johnny off after the movies at her house. Alicia ran outside when she heard his car rev. He drove the orange Ferrari. Johnny emerged from the falcon-winged doors, and she embraced him.“My love,” Alicia said, crouching to the ground in her purple silk robe. Her hair was scattered and undone.Johnny looked super excited and satisfied, holding a cone of half-finished ice cream in his hand. Nat watched from the car, his spectacles on.“Did you have fun today?” she asked.“Yes!” Johnny said in high spirits, sucking his cone.“Good.” She touched the soft of his ear. “Now go inside and freshen up, okay?” she said to him.Johnny innocently went in. Now that it was left to her and Nat, her smile changed into a charged grin. As she approached, Nat put the car gear in reverse, eager to disappear and zoom off.“Where the hell is this nigga going?” Alicia said angrily to no one in particular.She ran and followed his car, as if to pursue it.“Hey! Stop!” she said, standing in front of
