Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Caregiver : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

“I'll go with you to get groceries today,” Jeremy told Leah.She was ecstatic. Jeremy had loosened himself and let her have some kind of control. In the past few days, Leah had accompanied Jeremy to the barbing salon, shopping malls, office and had ensured he took his therapy sessions seriously. She made him delicious meals and deserts. They had late night conversations; although not too deep, and mostly about their plans, Leah liked it. She felt herself drawing closer to him with each passing day, and sometimes, she caught herself fantasizing about being Jeremy’s lover for real. But such thoughts felt like wishful thinking. Jeremy was complicated, guarded, and weighed down by the shadows of his past. Leah believed her role in his life was more pragmatic than romantic. There had to be a reason fate brought their paths together; a purpose that went beyond fleeting attraction.Perhaps she was meant to help him stand on his own feet again, both literally and figuratively. Maybe her pr

"Hello, Noah. Please, I need to see you urgently," Leah said into the phone, her voice trembling with panic.Noah sighed audibly on the other end. "Of course, Noah only gets remembered when trouble brews," he said, rolling his eyes."Don't be like this, Noah. It's a serious matter," Leah pleaded, her tone filled with urgency."I know. If it wasn't serious, you wouldn't call me," Noah replied curtly. His voice was laced with irritation. The call had been on speaker, but he quickly switched to handset mode and moved to a quieter environment."When was the last time you called me, Leah? We have unresolved issues, but you never cared enough to reach out and iron them out. You've changed so much," he said, his anger seeping through."I'm sorry, Noah. Please, let's meet up and talk," Leah implored.Noah wasn't ready to let go of his frustration. "Well, I'm busy with work. I don't have time," he said sharply."Come on, Noah. Don't be like this," Leah begged.But Noah was firm in his resolve.

Leah woke up the next morning, too embarrassed to step out of her room. Her head aches badly from hangover. She needed some lemon juice to help with the hangover but was too embarrassed to leave her room. She couldn't face Jeremy or Maggie, especially Jeremy. Not after last night. She decided she would just pretend she didn't remember anything. But she recalled everything and she wasn't proud.She let her emotions emote and had endangered the life of a young innocent man, and even cost him his job. “Perhaps he wasn't so innocent. Maybe he was somehow involved in Big Margaret's shady deeds,” she thought, to somehow feel better.But still, she wasn't a bringer of justice or of death. She wasn't such a person. What had come over her. She hadn't even linked Big Margaret to her father's disappearance and yet, she went that extreme.She reprimanded herself for acting foolishly last night; with Noah, with Big Margaret and her driver and with Jeremy.She clenched her fists, frustration mingl

Jeremy glared at Sarah, his expression a mixture of disdain and suppressed anger. The woman standing before him was once the center of his world, someone he had loved deeply and trusted completely. Now, she was nothing but a painful reminder of betrayal. “You stopped being a friend the moment you betrayed me. Now, unless you have something useful to say, I suggest you leave,” Jeremy said,his voice firm and authoritative.Her smile faltered, but she quickly recovered. “I came to talk about Conrad.”“Conrad?” Jeremy repeated, his interest piqued despite himself. “What about him?”Sarah hesitated, glancing at the door to ensure it was closed. “He’s planning something, Jeremy. Something big. And it involves your company.”Jeremy narrowed his eyes, his mind racing. He knew that though. “Why are you telling me this? What’s your angle?”Sarah sighed, a flicker of vulnerability crossing her face. “Let’s just say… I’ve realized I made some mistakes. Big ones. And I want to make things right.”

“Ugh!” Jeremy screamed from pain and frustration and anger. But what was he even angry about? He couldn't understand where his anger had stemmed from. He had been anxious, excited to come home, to Leah, but now… what was even wrong with him?Leah was startled by the outburst and rushed to help him. “Are you okay?”Jeremy shrugged his hands off her shoulders. “I'm fine, I'm fine. I can manage on my own,” he said, his tone a bit harsh.Leah took a step back, confused and slightly hurt. Still, she was impressively shocked by what she'd earlier seen. “I saw you…. standing? Jeremy, you did it!” Leah said excitedly.But Jeremy's expression was anything but. He struggled to adjust himself and when Leah attempted to help him, he turned away. “Don't worry, I can manage on my own.”“Our contract has been on for a little over two months now, huh?” Jeremy asked.The question sprung from nowhere and Leah couldn't fathom. “Have I done something wrong?” she asked him.“No, you haven't. I'm only tryi
