The Billionaire's Proposal Chapter 92
“A press conference?” Sorin sprung up from his chair, his eyes widening. “Have you lost your mind, Kelvin?” He asked, completely enraged.“Of all the things you could have said, a press conference sounded most reasonable to you? Really?” He raised an eyebrow, his tone cold.“I can't believe this.” He muttered, as he shook his head and wagged a disapproving finger.As Sorin kept pacing angrily, I remained seated in my chair, staring at them both in silence, watching as the whole drama unfolded.“Please, just hear me out.” Kelvin said, trying to calm the raging Sorin down. “I promise you, it's not as bad as you're picturing it.” He assured him.“It IS bad, Kelvin. It will only complicate matters. Are you even thinking at all? What are you even saying?” His face was contorted in disapproval.“If you'll just calm down and listen to me, you'll see that it is not SO bad.” Kelvin said further, hoping that Sorin would have a rethink, letting him air his opinion about what he had just said.St

“I told you it will work out, didn't I?” Jake Richardson said to his dad, proudly.“You did. I'm so surprised and glad that it did work out.” His father replied, his tone showing excitement.“But how were you able to pull it off?” His father asked, still unable to believe that his son could successfully tackle the Zaveris.“Well, let's just say I have my sources. But it's my little secret. And I don't think I want to reveal my sources to anyone.” Jake answered, playfully avoiding his father's questioning gaze.“Oh really?” His father raised an eyebrow.“Yes, dad.” Jake smiled broadly.“Well, this calls for celebration, don't you think?” Mr Richardson said, smiling proudly.“It sure does.” Jake nodded in support.Mr Richardson instantly called out to a maid. “Get me the best wine from my wine collection, and bring two wine glasses immediately.” He ordered the maid. “We have to celebrate this huge achievement.” He added, and the maid immediately disappeared to do as she was told.“Did

The day picked for the press conference arrived quicker than we all expected. And on that day, the room was filled to the brim with different reporters because every major news outlet had made sure that they sent their top and best reporters to drill Sorin about the recent scandal.The room was filled with anticipation, the air was thick, and the hums of their continuous whispered conversations filled the air, and could be heard from outside.My brows were furrowed and my face was contorted with fear of uncertainty. This was the very first time in my entire life that I would be attending a press conference, and this wasn't any kind of press conference because we were going to be the center of attention and I didn't think I was ready for it.Noticing my expression, Sorin turned to me and said, “Just calm down. You don't have to say anything. I will do all the talking. Just follow my lead.”I sighed and nodded slowly.“Sir, it's almost time. The press conference is supposed to begin any

Her question was a bit over the edge. I was sure it threw Sorin off balance but thankfully he was quick to compose himself. Sorin’s expression remained neutral, but a hint of annoyance was evident in his eyes. “I'm not sure where you're getting your information from,” he said as calmly as possible, “but I can assure you that my marriage to Andrea is not 'troubled’ like you said. Compared to other marriages, we're still in the early stages of our relationship, and like any couple, we're navigating the usual challenges of building a life together.”He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping the room to see the reactions of the other reporters before returning to the reporter who asked the question. "As for the ‘circumstances surrounding our marriage,’ I think it's unfair to speculate about our personal lives without having all the facts. Andrea and I are committed to making our marriage work, and we're not going to let rumors or speculation dictate or ruin our marriage.” My eyes remain

ZAS HOLDINGS “Good morning, everyone.” Anne happily greeted everyone as she walked into the office, but she got no response, which was very unusual.Her eyes scanned the room, and she soon noticed her colleagues, gathered together at a table, focused on something on another colleague's computer.“What are you guys so focused on?” She asked, loudly.“Shhhhh….” They all gestured for her to be quiet, and she held her breath.“What is going on?” She whispered to Isabella, who was also in the room.Isabella pulled her to the other side of the room. “Haven't you heard?” Anne furrowed her brows in confusion. “Heard what?”“Heard the latest news.” Isabella answered.“I'm not sure of what you're talking about. What is the latest news?” Anne asked further, looking confused still.“The latest news about Sorin Zaveri.” Isabella said, sharply. “How do you not know? Have you been living under a rock?” She rolled her eyes at her.“I'm sorry, but when it comes to social media. I'm not really curren

Sorin was speechless. He just stared at Daisy without knowing what to say. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that she would show up all of a sudden, without informing him beforehand.He helplessly stared at her, wishing he could do something before she began to spew the wrong words, which would complicate matters further.He knew better than to scold her because that would cause a scene, and with the amount of reporters and cameras in their faces, that would be the craziest and most stupidest idea.I, on the other hand, stood there without knowing what to say. I was definitely confused. It was only a matter of minutes before Daisy let the cat out of the bag about her relationship with Sorin.“Hi Sorin.” She greeted him with a broad smile.“Daisy…” Sorin spoke nervously. “I didn't know you were coming. I mean, you didn't tell me you were coming. I didn't expect to see you here.” He said it all in a rush.“I know.” She still had her smile on. “I wanted to surprise you. I hope you

“Somewhere quiet?” I asked, still surprised.“Yes, that's correct.” He responded with a smile.“Uhmm… I thought that—”“Nah…” He gently interrupted me. He then leaned forward, his eyes staring deep into mine, making my heart tighten in my chest. “You don't have to think about anything. Just follow my lead.”As I looked at him, my eyes fell on his lips once again. The soft curve of his lips as he smiled did something I couldn't explain to me. I could feel his warm breath on my skin and this also sent shivers down my spine. The air around us felt charged with tension.Every sound seemed amplified - the soft batting of his eyelids, the gentle rhythm of his breathing. Everything seemed to possess its own loud sound. Time also seemed to stop completely, and I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for something to happen.In that moment, everything else faded into the background, and all I could focus on was him. It was like it was just us two in the whole world. I felt drawn to him,

Sorin pulled up at the parking lot of one of the Cole’s detached mansions in a private estate. Daisy had sent him the details of her whereabouts earlier and asked him to meet with her there. Despite the fact that it was many miles away from the city, he still drove all the way down to meet her.He turned off the ignition, took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.“Welcome sir,” He was greeted by one of Daisy's guards.Sorin nodded in acknowledgement, and asked, “Where is she?”“She is inside. She is waiting for you in the living room.“Thank you.” He responded, and walked in briskly.Staring outside through the gigantic glass door, holding a cup of wine in her right hand, and folding her left hand against her chest, was Daisy.The moment she sensed Sorin's presence, she scoffed.“You said you wanted to see me and that it was urgent. What's up?” Sorin said, standing metres away from her.She remained in that same spot, saying nothing, making the both of them remain in an awkward s

I had collapsed, and passed out.“Drea! Drea!” She screamed in horror as she rushed to me.Hearing Anne scream, Maggie, with another housekeeper rushed in to see what was going on.“Oh my goodness…” Maggie exclaimed, seeing Anne looking horrified, while I remained on the floor, almost lifeless.“Get the car right now!” Anne yelled at them, tears trickling down her face as she held onto me.The other housekeeper ran off, while Maggie stayed back with Anne to carry me all the way to the car.They hurriedly but gently placed me in the car and the driver zoomed out of the compound. And as they headed to the hospital, confused on what to do, Anne grabbed her phone and dialled Kelvin's number.“Pick up, Kelvin. Pick up your call.” Anne muttered amidst sobs, holding her phone to her ear.She hissed loudly as the phone made its last ring and wasn't picked up. She flung it to the footwell.“Be fast! We're running out of time. Step on it!” She yelled at the driver, who stepped on the gas, speed

SORIN'S MANSION DAYS LATER “Good evening, ma'am. Welcome back.” One of the maids, Maggie, greeted Anne as she helped her with her suitcase.“Thank you so much, Maggie.” She smiled in gratitude as she walked into the living room.She had just arrived from the three-day company summit and although she was completely exhausted, she was proud of herself. Jake had thought that she was going to fail woefully but to his shock, she did well. She impressed the foreign partners and they immediately signed the deal with their company, awarding them a five-year contract worth millions of dollars, that could be renewed after the initial term.She smiled proudly as she thought about how it all went down at the summit. She never believed that she could pull such a huge task off brilliantly, but she was glad that she was able to, especially with the support of the members of her team.Still in her thoughts, she suddenly remembered me and snapped out of it.“What of Drea?” She asked Maggie immediat

As soon as Anne stepped out of Jake's office, and was out of his sight, she gasped for breath. Her whole body trembled and she had to lean on the wall for support.“Calm down, Anne,” she whispered to herself. “Breathe….” She took a deep breath, letting the air fill her lungs, and slowly exhaled, feeling her tension ease.As soon as she was able to calm down and put herself together, she heaved a sigh of relief.She thought about what just happened and what she said to Jake.Amazed by her sudden confidence, she said to herself with a big smile, “Well, that was kinda fun.”Slowly, her smile soon began to disappear as the realization of the consequences of her actions hit her. “But I foresee trouble from here on now.” She said to herself again.She suddenly heard a sound shattering glass coming from Jake's office, and immediately raced to the elevator, heading back to her floor.Back in Jake's office, he stared furiously at the pieces of his wine glass which he had just slammed to the

A bit confused, Anne frowned as she asked, “Thanks to me? What do you mean?”He began, “Well, I saw a certain someone hurrying somewhere during work hours. I thought it was an emergency and so, I decided to trail her.” “Uh.. I don't see how that is any business of mine, sir. I really don't understand what you're getting at.” She said, still looking confused.He scoffed, and raised an eyebrow. “Why do I feel like you already know what I'm about to say, but you're intentionally acting like you don't?”“Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about. In fact, I don't even know why I'm here or why we're having this conversation.” She said, with a curious look on her face.“Is that so?” He asked, with sarcasm.“Yes, sir.” She nodded as she responded.He smiled, “You'll understand soon enough. Just let me finish with what I was saying.”“Okay, sir.” She said, hesitantly.“Now as I was saying…. Guess what I saw?” He smiled mischievously, while Anne just stared at him, with curiosity still pla

NEW YORK ZAS HOLDINGSAnne was working on her laptop when Isabella walked into their large office looking a bit worried.“Anne?” She called the busy Anne, who still had her eyes focused on the screen of her laptop.“Hmmmm.” Anne muttered, “What's up?” She asked, still not looking at Isabella.“What did you do to Mr Richardson?” Isabella asked her.Anne furrowed her brows. “What do you mean? Did he say I did anything?” She asked, nonchalantly. “‘Cause last I checked, we do not have any business together for now.” She shrugged as she kept typing on her laptop.“He has just asked to see you.” Isabella answered, and Anne's fingers suddenly froze as she stopped typing and finally looked up at Isabella.“What!” She exclaimed. “Wh… why?” She stuttered. “What did I do? Did he tell you anything?”Isabella sighed. “I have no idea. He didn't tell me. He just told me to ask you to come to his office immediately.” Isabella leaned forward as she added, “And with the look of things, he seems to be

“Yes.” Sorin looked up at her. “What is going on? Why are you yelling?” He asked, a bit irritated.“Really? Why am I yelling? Is that all you're going to say to me?” She inquired, with a frown.Sorin’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “I don't understand. What should I have said?”She hissed. “I've been talking to you here, but you've been ignoring me because you're focused on something else.” She complained, getting upset. “Are you mad at me?” She asked him.“No.” He answered coldly, not totally paying attention to her.She turned away from the mirror and faced him. “Is your laptop your girlfriend now? Is it more important than I am to you?” She asked, curiously.He leaned backwards, on the headboard, staring at her. “Daisy, please, don't even start now…”“What is it? I'm not wrong now, am I?” She snapped at him.“Fine! I'm sorry. I apologize for not paying attention to you. But honestly, I really didn't hear you.” He quickly apologized, not wanting her to suspect anything.“Why? Because

FOUR WEEKS LATERLOS ANGELES Daisy slowly walked out of the bathroom, her bathrobe snuggled around her body. She gently settled into the white stool at her vanity, the soft cushion, giving her the needed comfort. She stared at Sorin through the mirror, and as her gaze remained on him, and his eyes fixated on his laptop screen, a sly smile spread across her face.“Finally, I have him all to myself.” She thought to herself, her smile broadening.Sorin looked up from his laptop. “You're finally done. I thought you weren't going to come out of the bathroom till tomorrow.” He said, jokingly and she chuckled.“Well, you know how I love my beauty baths.” She commented proudly.His head snapped backwards. “Beauty baths? What does that even mean? He frowned, playfully rolling his eyes.“How do you think I keep my whole body looking this fresh and hot?” She continued.Sorin furrowed his brows.She scoffed, shaking her head. “I don't blame you. You can't understand.”“I agree. I can NEVER unde

“Ma'am?” Kelvin rushed in too. “Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed.“Call the doctor, immediately. “ Anne yelled, panicking. Kelvin immediately took his phone, and swiftly speed-dialled the doctor. “Hello Doctor. It's an emergency. Please come by the—”“I’m not dead….” I weakly spoke up, stopping him mid-sentence.“Oh my goodness.” Anne sighed in relief, her eyes welling up with tears.Kelvin was also relieved to see that I was fine. I saw relief evident on his face.Although I spoke weakly, at least it gave them the reassurance that I wasn't unconscious, or dead, maybe.“What is going on? Is there an emergency?” I heard the doctor's voice faintly from Kelvin's phone.He immediately checked his phone and realized the doctor was still on the call. “It's nothing, Doctor. Don't bother. Bye for now.” He quickly spoke into the receiver and ended the call.“You scared me.” Anne said, wiping her tears as she helped me sit up.“I know, and I'm sorry.” I apologized, my voice a bit inaudible.“You

“Mr Zaveri has left already.” Kelvin reiterated, making it clear to Anne that Sorin wasn't around, and her outburst was basically going to be pointless.“Geez!!!” Anne slowly dropped to the ground once again.“So he was in a hurry to leave right after serving her divorce papers? How much more insensitive could he be.” She said, her tone filled with disappointment.“Actually, we had a heated argument. A bit of an angry back and forth. I guess that was what made him pack up and leave earlier than he was supposed to.” Kelvin explained, but Anne shook her head.“That’s not an excuse, Kelvin. He is just wicked and insensitive. That's all I can say.”She turned to look at him again and at that moment, it clicked. Kelvin's busted lip was as a result of his argument with Sorin.She swiftly got up. “He did this to you, didn't he?” She asked him, her tone filled with both curiosity and certainty.He maintained a blank expression. “Anne, it's nothing.”“That's not what I'm asking you, Kelvin.” S
