The Billionaire's Kryptonite C13 - Her ghost.
Lara was supposed to call Uncle George to pick her up. But at midnight, she found herself sitting next to Chester, crying her heart out.She was to be with Tasya, but her friend was out of the country. So, here she was, with Chester, who was patiently waiting for her to finish crying. He was waiting, even knowing full well that no matter what questions he asked, she wouldn't reveal the reason for her tears."I feel weird watching you cry," he said, his patience running thin as he handed her one tissue after another. "It's the first time I've seen you cry, and I'm dying to know who the fvck made you like this! This isn't you, Lara!"She felt weird crying in front of him too. But what could she do? It seemed like her eyes had turned into endless wells of tears.Heaven knew she wanted to tell Chester why she was crying. But she couldn't bring herself to do it. She knew him well; they'd been close friends for many years. She trusted that he wouldn't mock her or judge her.However, for som
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C14 - Not a chance.
Surprisingly, Miguel didn't confront Lara the next morning. Uncle George said he left early.Lara secretly thanked her stars. She couldn't think of any excuse for coming home late the previous night. She just hoped he wouldn't reprimand her at the office.After breakfast, she headed to work. Her eyes weren't as swollen, which was a relief. She only looked tired, and not because she had cried last night."Lara, take this to the boardroom," Ashley ordered, her hand trembling as she handed Lara a folder.Lara glanced up from the report she was working on."Hurry up," Ashley added.She sighed and accepted the folder. On her way there, she ran into Leonie, whose head was bowed after leaving the boardroom where the executive staff briefing was ongoing before the quarterly Board meeting later in the day.Seeing Leonie and Ashley, Lara felt hesitant to enter the room. She hadn't even reached the door yet when she heard Miguel's shout.Her heart raced as she stepped inside and found an employe
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C15 - Hearing problems.
It was Saturday.Lara's loneliness led her to Lena's grave once again. Just like before, she sat in front of the tombstone, pouring her heart out to her departed sister."I didn't know that if we met, he would scold me every day. Am I a bad girl, big sister? Did I fail to make him proud of me, that he treats me this way?"She wiped away the tears that escaped her eyes."I'm not a crybaby. You know that, right? Even if Mama didn't take care of me, it was fine as long as you were beside me. I miss you…"And just like before, she lost track of time. She found herself staring blankly, her grievances poured out to her sister.So she was surprised when she felt another presence inside the mausoleum.It was Migo. He had just taken off his sunglasses when she glanced in his direction. It was as if it was her first time to see a handsome man and she was momentarily stunned before secretly scolding herself and hastily standing up."What are you doing here, Lara?" he asked. His tone was gentle e
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C16 - Birthday gift.
Migo's apology left Lara in disbelief.Had the world come to an end? She couldn't help but stare at the man whose attention was focused on the road."What? Cat got your tongue?" he asked, casting her a glance."I'm not sure if I heard you right," she replied, her disbelief obvious."I think I really need to tell Rosette to schedule a visit to your ENT doctor," he said, shaking his head with a chuckle."I'm not deaf, Migo," she defended herself. "I just wasn't sure. This isn't like you. Aren't you always mad at me? Why are you saying sorry?""What do you remember of me when you were young, Lara?"With that question, Lara's mind automatically went back sixteen years."I wasn't angry at you," he continued when she didn't reply. "I wouldn't have taken care of you for so long if I was angry."She allowed him to talk while her mind lingered on the past. She remembered how he used to be a sweet big brother to her. Because she was like his sister's child, she always took her along whenever he
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C17 - More gifts.
"All of these came from Migo?" Lara couldn't believe it.It was already her birthday, and several delivery vans had arrived at the mansion early in the morning. They were filled with various supplies for the orphanage she was going to visit later. She felt a mix of disbelief and overwhelming happiness. She had already purchased many items in the past few days, but this gesture from Migo made her even more excited. She knew these supplies would be a significant help to the orphanage, which didn't have many benefactors."They're your husband's gift to you," Auntie Rosette said with a smile, just like her, she was also busy with preparations as they were about to leave to distribute cookies to the children on the streets.This time, she had added packed meals from a popular fast-food chain to the goodies. Since Migo had told her not to be frugal, she spent a significant portion of her savings on her birthday celebration this year. They had also packed groceries for the less fortunate."W
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C18 - Wedding anniversary.
Lara had already changed into her dress.While looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't believe the woman staring back at her.She had never worn anything fancy before. Despite growing up under the guardianship of a billionaire, she had always led a low-key life. She firmly believed that she didn't own anything – everything was Miguel's.Tonight, however, she had agreed to wear the dress. First and foremost, Migo had said so. For a while, she returned to the old Lara who wanted to always please him. She didn't want to disappoint him, not tonight."I really look like you, big sister," she said after staring at herself in the mirror for a long time.It wasn't that she disliked it. On another occasion, she would be ecstatic to have grown to resemble the sister she adored so much. However, her face would keep reminding Migo of Lena.Again, it wasn't like she hated it. She just thought she would not have her own identity in the eyes of Migo. She sighed.Instead of letting her hair d
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C19 - Beautiful lady.
Lara thought that after that night, things would improve between her and Miguel. But nothing changed. He remained formal with her in the office. In fact, he seemed even more formal now.They didn't get a chance to talk again, as they both had a lot of work to catch up on the following Monday. Even Lara was struggling to keep up with her tasks.But the two other secretaries seemed to have plenty of time to flirt with Miguel's male assistant.Lara remembered him as Jaxen Gordon, the man who had arrived on the day of her wedding to Migo. He had come from the US, where he had attended a two-week business summit on Miguel's behalf. That was why he hadn't been present to welcome her when she was promoted to be Miguel's secretary.When he saw her earlier, he didn't seem surprised. Instead, he politely smiled at her. He probably knew every decision his boss made, including her promotion.When they had a brief moment to talk without Leonie and Ashley around, he addressed her as Mrs. Villareal.
The Billionaire's Kryptonite C20 - Sleep over.
"It's the company's anniversary this Friday, are you coming? What am I talking about? Of course, you must come."She had just passed by Jaxen, but he had already said two sentences at once. She had just walked Wendy and Migo to the elevator.The thick-faced woman had the nerve to ask her to carry her bag while she clung to Miguel's arm.She almost smacked Wendy if she hadn't restrained herself. Besides, Migo's eyes told her not to do anything stupid."Aren't you going to the business party with them?" she asked him. She knew why Miguel's assistant was talking to her.He was trying to pull her thoughts away from the couple who had just left the office together."Nah. But I'm following later. Mr. Villareal needs me to bring his gift to the host.""Why didn't you go with them and bring it now?""So I can keep an eye on them?""No," she denied his guess. "I just thought it's fuel efficient.""Fuel efficient?" he teased.He had the audacity to tease her because, first of all, Migo wasn't t
