The Billionaires's Destiny PROLOGUE.
It was happening again.She had a dream that haunted her.The dream that always took her back to her past made her remember him, and she could do nothing about it in the maze that was her dream.The boy held her hand like he would never let go, like she was all there was and when the gigantic man in front of them tried to attack, she used her body to cover him, taking the brunt of the knife against her back.The scene transferred to another in her dream and she was in a car, a tumbling one at that, making her feel panic against her chest.“Alva!” a voice shouted, making her turn, and she saw her mother in the driver's seat looking scared for both of them.“Mummy!”“Alva!”She woke up.

Alva's POV.The shouts were audible from her room where Alva sat that morning and she tried to block out the sounds. She had a painting brush in her hand and a painting weasel in front of her on which she drew the portrait of a woman she knew by heart."Madison!" "What?!, why should I be the one to do it? I still have my life to live!""I know, but this is only for a year, then it would all be over.""Doesn't matter. Alva should do it. It's not like she's contributing anything to this family or doing anything for a living. All she does is draw some stupid painting and leech off us. She should do this!""Fine, but I...""I'll ask her for you,"Alva sighed as she heard them shout, she had absolutely no idea what they were talking about or why they were mentioning her name but she knew it couldn't be a good thing, not to talk of the way her sister's footsteps pounded to her room. The door banged open, startling Alva and she stared at her elder sister who stood in the doorframe, "Madison

Jaxon's POV.Jaxon looked at the picture of the woman he was to get married to that morning as he got ready for his wedding that day, and he sighed. He had on a black tuxedo and a loose tie that hung around his neck.“So, what do you think of her?” His friend Silas asked from the corner where he sat, pressing his phone.“She's okay,”He looked up, “She's okay?”“Yeah, what else do you want me to say?”“Nothing, it's just that she's too pretty to be just okay.”“Maybe you should marry her yourself then,”“I wouldn't mind,”They laughed. He had to say she was pretty, though, with her long sandy blonde hair that shaped her oval-shaped face and her bluish-green eyes that looked into the depths of your soul. She was any man's dream, not his, though.He had seen her once before when his dad and her dad had been on a business trip with the whole family, and he remembered how she had kept to herself, constantly having nightmares and waking the whole family.She was not his type.He dropped th

Alva's POV. Alva stood at the door of the wedding hall that same morning as she waited for the music to start. She had her arm hooked around her father's and a bouquet in her other hand while trying to fight away the nervousness."Alva,"She glanced at her friend who stood behind her, "hmm,""You have to stop shaking now, it's going to be alright..."She paused in her every movement, she hadn't realized that she was shaking until her friend said it and now that she knew it, she tried her best to stop shaking.She reached for her friend's hand which was beside hers despite the flowers and squeezed them, "thank you so much,"She nodded. At the sound of the music, she released the hand entwined with hers and faced the door which now opened.Immediately it did, she felt her mouth drop open at the sight of the people inside the hall. She had never seen such an amount of people in a place at the same time and she was amazed as well as afraid.Yes, she knew her dad was a very popular real

They waved at the cheerful guest who had graced their ceremony as they walked out of the reception venue. They were heading to Jaxon's home now that the party was over and Alva couldn't help feeling another wave of nervousness, what was next, what would happen now?Her friend was no longer beside her as she had to take care of cleaning up and couldn't follow her to her husband's house, but she would have loved her to be there.The flash of the paparazzi hit their face as they made their way to their car, and they smiled for the camera. It was all fake smiles though, Alva knew that he didn't care much about her and was probably doing it for his father, so she tried her best to be nonchalant too.It wasn't working, though. She had been smitten by him, hoping something would work out between them, but seeing the way he had treated her on the altar, she had just lost hope.She entered the limousine right after her husband and searched one last time for her family. They were in the crowd l

She woke up the next morning still in her wedding dress, but feeling refreshed, she couldn't believe she had slept in her wedding dress and all, but she had, and she was not surprised. She had been drained out by the events of last night and the day before, and she was glad that it was over…or maybe it wasn't.Her marriage already started, and she was still a virgin, she was still untouched by her so-called husband, and she felt… strange? Well, perhaps not strange, but weird.She pushed back her wandering thoughts, standing up to go to the bathroom, and that's when she saw herself in the mirror.Her jaw fell open, jeez, she looked like a witch who fell out of a plane crash, wow!She touched her face, she was such a mess.Picking up her veil, which had fallen to the floor, she tucked it into a corner and opened the tap to wash her face. By the time she was done, all the makeup was gone and beneath it showed her true face, the face she was familiar with.She smiled sadly, staring at her

Jaxon jerked his hand away from Silas' as they entered his office and he faced him with a glare, “What are you doing?”"What do you mean, what am I doing, I should be asking you that,” Silas fired at him."I don't know what you mean,”“Of course you do, what is Erin doing here?” Silas questioned annoyingly while Jaxon acted nonchalantly, not providing a care in the world as he shrugged his shoulder at him.“Being with me…”“What do you mean being with you, shouldn't you be with the woman you married and not her?”Jaxon sighed, “I've told you already that this marriage is only on paper and that the person I love is Erin, so why should I be with her and not the person I love?” He questioned arrogantly.“Because you have a right to her as her husband and not to Erin, Erin is only a gold digger who is after your money and I don't understand why you can't see that,” Silas answered in the same tone Jaxon used in replying to him."Don't talk about her that way,” Jaxon snapped, his honey-colo

"Erin?"They all questioned as if they had just seen a ghost and she smiled moving forward to hug Jaxon."You got here earlier than I expected," Jaxon smirked as he shoved his left hand into his pocket."What the hell is she doing here?" Silas asked annoyingly, casting a disgusting look at Erin who had already moved close to Jaxon and dropped a peck on his cheek."Giving you a surprise," Jaxon and Erin answered in unison and burst out laughing while Alva stood rooted to her spot trying to process what was going on."Jaxon, I repeat, what is she fucking doing here?" Silas questioned again, covering the distance between them as if he would throw her out and Jaxon stepped forward to defend her, "Give her a break, would you? why can't she be here?""Because this is your honeymoon and she is not supposed to be here," Silas fired, trying to make him see sense in what he's saying."Then you're not supposed to be here too if I get your meaning correctly," Jaxon cornered and glared at Silas.
