The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 14. Nowhere
Quinn . "Quinn, don't worry about me. I am too old and soon will meet the judgment of the heavens." "Don't say that, Nanna. You have a long life, and you will spend a lot of time with me in the future. We will travel the world together, remember? Eat delicious foods, and live life to the fullest." My tears fell as I held my Grandmother's cold hands. At this moment, I want to call her Nanna—an Italian slang for Grandmother. Every time I call her Nanna, it reminds me that somehow she's not just my Grandmother but also my mother. I have no one. She raised me with love and took care of me. She's my life. "Quinn," in her rustic voice. She tried to smile amidst all the pain she felt. I wiped my tears and put my ear closer to her mouth. The dose might have weakened her senses even more. The nurse called me earlier because Grandma was hysterical and was looking for me. Luckily, my father wasn't home when I asked the driver to drive me there. "R-Run," in her heavy breathing. "Y-You have
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 15. Rhythm in the rain
Xavion . "What was happening on the other side of the globe, Xav? I've heard something from Bryce. Although it wasn't detailed, it looks like you need a hand. How can I help you?" My jaw tightened as I looked at the sunset ahead. I could see Enzo's eyes were glued to mine. His gaze was no longer a stranger to me. Somehow, he already knows what it feels like to be onto something, and at the same time, your parents are holding you by the neck. He sighed and faced me. He crossed his arms and studied me. I whirled around to face him with a forced smile. "It's all done. I just have to keep her on the Island for a few weeks until the other mafia will lay low upon looking for her." He grimaced an expression that I saw coming from him. He finally caught me off guard. "And you finally crossed the line. Damn, Xavion Xavier." He sighed, "What else is there for me to do? At least there is something, right?" He slightly chuckled. "I might need your help if she will be in danger. She's fine
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 16. I thought.
Quinn's POV . 'You can tell the time by standing under the sun. When the sun is directly above your head where your shadow stands, that means it's noon time. If the sun is about forty-five degrees above the horizon in the west and your shadow appears on the other side, it's three o'clock in the afternoon. Just remember that shadow is long in the morning as the sun appears east and shortest around noon. It gets longer again once the sun sets in the west.' I smile, looking at my shadow. It's three o'clock now. I don't know if this is the right time, but what he taught me was probably right. How can I forget that? There was this one person who taught me about the complexity of Math, Chemistry, Physics and the evolution of love. . . it was Xavion. Every time I think of him, it brings many beautiful memories. It's a bitter feeling as I regret it a lot. But what else could I do? I was afraid of that time. I don't want Dominique and my father to kill him. There's no other way for us. So
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 17. Are you a dream?
Quinn . Sometimes I experience unbearable itchiness, but thankfully the seawater has a soothing effect on my skin, particularly my feet. It has nothing to do with eggs, as I didn't eat any eggs with me. It's just that I hurt myself after chasing the snake out of the storage room. I was shocked and scared, causing me to lose my balance and trip on my right foot. Unfortunately, my foot accidentally hit the corner of the door. The wound wasn't that bad, but it was profoundly deep. And it's now swollen around the skin. It's painful, and the little pink rashes are new, and I don't know where they came from. It's very itchy. Three days ago, the situation worsened, but I was able to invent a treatment. Mixing boiled sea water with temperature water proved effective. It would have been easier if I had a first aid kit, moisturiser, and cream. But I couldn't find it around the house. The person who owns this place probably forgets to put it in the right place where I can easily find it.
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 18. I hate you
Xavion . I have no choice but to deliver these items to her, including sanitary pads, snacks, and sweets she used to enjoy. I also reviewed the CCTV footage to identify the location of her injury. I thought it was terrible, as Bryce described it badly. I wonder why can't she find the medical kit around the house. I put it right where the fire extinguisher was located. "The medical kit. Did you move it last time we visited the Island hideout?" I asked Reeve in the line. The last time we installed solar lights around the Island, he was there with me. It's been a while since then. I recall Reeve injuring his finger and using the medical kit bag. "Oh, did you forget? It's inside the compartment of the helicopter seat. I took it out and forgot to put it back. Why? Are you in the hideout? At this hour? Did you hurt yourself?" "No, no, I didn't hurt myself. I was double-checking everything. No worries. Thanks, Reeve," I said and ended the call. The Island has become the hideout for the
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 19. Courage under the rain
Quinn . I should have followed him outside but I could no longer move my body. I hugged my knees, trembling in the cold and cried in silence. Who could have thought that it was Xavion after all? It was him. . . He saved me from my hell. The rain was heavy. The thunder and lightning sound like it's just beside me. It scared me. I managed to change myself, and I felt weak. It felt like there were thousands of needles around my feet every time I took a step. I wanted to check if the helicopter was still outside. But the rain poured angrily like how he looked at me earlier. I composed myself and looked ahead in the dark. I'm still waiting for him to return, with the door left open. Suddenly, a powerful lightning strike hits just a few meters away, causing my body to jolt. "Oh, my God!" I exclaimed. My heart pounded, and I was worried about him. I took a brave step forward but stopped when another lightning strike came. "No, please. Stop. Stop, please," I pleaded to the heavens and
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 20. Pleaded
Xavion's POV . "You may as well stay there, Xav. I'll take care of things here at the moment. The Montadamme and Langley clan are on low-key now. The search for Quinn seems focused in a different direction. I will provide you with an update shortly. My team monitors the situation closely, so there is no need to worry." "Thank you, Bryce. I will get back once the weather turns good." "Sure thing. It's going to be a big one, Xav. I am concerned about the impact of the typhoon on the island. I monitor the situation and hope the damage won't be too severe. It looks like the rain will persist for several days before the storm arrives on the island. Let's remain optimistic and prioritise your safety and Quinn." I sighed while talking to Bryce on an old 2D phone. It's the only device that will work on this island. The signal is too far for a cellular site, as we work only on the frequency line. We learnt this from our training combat abroad. "Reeve and Hendrix eagerly await your return
The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake 21. Smile
Quinn . "Xavion!" I stood up and began walking towards the door but halted and crouched down upon hearing the sharp crack of lightning, which was soon followed by a loud clap of thunder. The rain wasn't that heavy, but the wind sounded scary. There seemed to be a helicopter situated on the rooftop of this house, and it sounded scary to me. Xavion stayed at the storage house outside, like the other night. I'm concerned about him because he refused to stay with me in this brick house, and now that the storm's eye is coming, I fear for his safety. When I opened the door, the sheet of lightning spread in the sky consecutively, giving a glimpse of light in the dark environment outside. The wind is crazy and quite intense. It could easily knock you off your feet. "Oh, my God!" As I attempted to close the door, a sudden gust of wind swept in and knocked over a few of my plants, leaving them scattered on the ground. I managed to shut the door as soon as I stepped outside. I cling tigh
