Lahat ng Kabanata ng 30 DAYS WITH A BILLIONAIRE : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

As the sunshine from the slit in the drapes made contact with the diamond stone on that engagement ring, it gleamed. For some reason, the mood in this room seemed really dreary. It's as though the grief — misery had permeated the entire space, from corner to corner.The ring was worn by Ida Okino Mitsuko, a half-Japanese, half-American actress based in Japan. She secured a contract with a famous firm and has become the most successful actress in her country, making her a well-known billionaire throughout Asia.Ida possesses practically everything a woman could desire: fortune, fame, attractiveness and a wonderful physique, a strong character and attitude. Her life would have been wonderful if her only love had never departed.For as they all say, without love, the world is nothing. You may possess all the pleasures in the world if you pay for it, but you can never do the same for love.A voice from the doorway of this room reverberated through the silence, breaking the ostensibly sile

"I can't believe you actually listened to me," Tsuyoshi said to his daughter as he drew a trolley. He only found out this morning that Ida had agreed to go on this getaway, and he couldn't have been happier. As a father, he only wanted what was best for Ida, and perhaps this is it."Don't say a word and help me with these two as well," Ida complained as she handed her carry-on bag to her father. It wasn't too hefty, but she was a spoiled child who usually whined about everything. For some, Ida's audacity is what makes her irresistible. Tsuyoshi and his wife are to blame for this. They treated Ida like a princess because she was an only child. They fulfilled all of her desires with no question."I was just surprised that you thought of it," Tsuyoshi said as he adjusted the bag strap to fit more comfortably on his shoulder. "I am delighted that you are putting yourself first by going on this trip, Ida," he continued. "I can assure you that the sea waves will wash away all your sorrow."

They are currently confronted with exactly what Jaali feared.While on the phone with the senior manager, Jaali discovered that there had been an interruption to the system at the very moment Ida and Avery submitted their request for the service. The trouble is, they clicked on the submit button at the same minute, and the computer recorded it as one, giving them the same booking schedule.Obviously, the computer cannot be blamed for this error. This problem was brought about by the staff's lack of order."What do you plan to do with us then?" Avery inquired, his brow furrowed and his face stern. His hand was motioning a hand to Ida, who was standing beside him and was equally concerned about the situation."The senior manager told me that one of you should cancel and make a request for another schedule," Jaali explained, ashamed that he had to be the one to face these two billionaires. He couldn't help but feel small in front of them."That's fucking bullshit," Avery complained, shak

"This is one of the scenarios from a movie I saw and really hated," Avery murmured, his gaze fixed on the ceiling.He had already positioned himself on the other side of the bed, in an awkward way. His body remained upright, and his hands were folded above his chest, as if he didn't know where else to put them.Ida lay next him, her eyes closed, looking the opposite direction. She was trying to sleep when Avery's speaking voice disturbed her. Because of how silent it was, the deepness of Avery's voice resonated in her ears."What scene?" she asked, opening her eyes but not turning her head to look at Avery."This uncomfortable sort of situation we're in," the man murmured as he decided to sit up. "Look, this is ridiculous," he said, motioning to the pillow barrier that separated them in bed. "I feel like a teen grappling with a new romance."Ida had to look behind her back to see what Avery was talking about. And when she realized what it was, she couldn't help but laugh. "We could ju

Ida couldn't help but chuckle at Avery's response. She found his sense of humor refreshing, especially in their current situation where tension could easily arise. "Well, I hope you won't be too disappointed," she said, still smiling.Avery leaned back in his chair, taking another sip of his coffee. "I highly doubt that," he said. "I'm sure you have at least something fun to show."Ida nodded her head, "Well, yeah. It's been a while since I've let loose and had some fun. I think it's about time I did that."Avery nodded in agreement, "I couldn't agree more. Life's too short to not enjoy yourself."As they finished their coffee, Ida couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected company. She had been dreading the idea of spending the next few days alone on the yacht, but now she was starting to look forward to it. Who knows what other surprises this trip could bring?Avery and Ida continued their conversation, discussing their plans for the rest of the day. They both agreed that a
