Semua Bab The Billionaire's dirty secret: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Benjamin.I stared at my phone as it buzzed on the table radically. I stood still, maybe if I didn’t move it was equivalent to me not seeing it ring? The buzzing stopped and I breathed a sigh of relief, winding my tie once more before tugging it into a firm knot. I pulled the suit over my arms when the phone buzzed again.I heaved a sigh, the mere fact that her name fluttered across my screen ruined my entire day because I could already sense the direction of the conversation, she was putting me under a lot of pressure, one that was unnecessary. I bent and picked the phone realizing how persistent she was when she wanted to have her way.“Good mor-”“You’ve been ignoring my calls, Benjamin. Is that how you treat your mother?” She snapped at me, cutting me short before I even started.I sighed, “I’ve been busy, mom.”“Busy running a company that will slip out of your fingers because you refuse to do what you are meant to do!?”That was a record, she didn’t even wait for an entire minut

Benjamin.I stared at Oliver, watching the lights in his eyes flicker for a minute before they completely died off. I could see how glassy they had become and how he fought with everything not to cry.Seeing him so sad, struggling to hide his emotions pricked my heart with guilt. I never thought I would see Veronica again after what happened over four years ago. It was almost like she had fallen off the face of the earth after she went to see my mother.The evening of that day, my mother had called with the disappointing tone, the disgust still curls through my nerves every time I remember that. In her words, she had taken care of it.The single thread of thought that ran through my mind was the fact she had found a way to unalive Veronica, I never asked and she never spoke more on the subject. The way she had thrown herself on me when she saw me almost seemed like she didn't remember anything at all.Or did she? Did my mother tell her that I had gone through some sort of therapy? I

Oliver.“Do you have to stand so far away?”Benjamin was sitting perfectly on the desk, his legs spread far apart, giving me the perfect view of his bulge. I knew what he was doing and it wouldn't work.Immediately I had entered the office, he had dropped his work and moved softly toward the front of his desk with the smirk on his face. That beautiful smirk that I wanted to smack away till there was nothing more than remorse painted on it.“I'm fine where I am, sir,” I made the title prominent so he could understand that things weren't the same as before. Things had changed, and he needed to understand. I wasn't at his beck and call anymore. He had lied to me, let me believe that he was single when in fact, he was a stone's throwaway from getting married. That was unforgivable.“I can't touch you from over there,” he smiled widely, tilting his head to the side. Did he just? I scoffed and shook my head. What did he take me for?“Is there anything you need, sir? If not, I would love to

OliverI wedged my shoulder against the door as I pushed it open, knowing that my mother would be stubborn enough to still sleep on the couch in the parlour. Just as I thought, she was laying comfortably, the knitted shoal that was starting to loosen at the end, hung loosely from her arm.I sighed as I walked toward her and pulled the material over her, and placed a quick kiss on her head. I hated to see her so stressed, worked up, and suffering because she was trying to cater for us. I knew that as soon as the training wheels came off at work and my internship period was over, they would retain me, and I could start earning from the work I was doing.I smiled at her restful posture before making my way toward the kitchen. I stopped dead in my tracks when my eyes connected with Ruby’s and the memories of everything that had happened the previous morning flocked it.“Ruby, we need to talk,” I stated firmly. She scoffed and folded her hands before walking into the kitchen. I followed he

OliverWhat is the sound of heartbreaking? I've always wondered, but I can state that the sound of heartbreaking is hearing someone you love getting married to another. This weekend? Wasn't that so soon? Too early? I thought we had time.Not we, I thought I had time. Time to get used to the fact that Benjamin would be exclusively someone else's, but no time would ever make me get used to it. I couldn't stand and watch him slip from my fingers, and get wedded to another person.“Is it true?” I hated how my voice squeaked, the way my lips trembled like I just had my heart served to me to eat. Benjamin's eyes flickered toward me but they weren't the calm orbs I was used to seeing, the ones I loved. These held anger, the fury of something.I fought back my tears, my eyes prickling with heat. My chest began to swell with something I couldn't name, grieve? Pain? It was hard to place the emotion that took precedence.All I wanted him to do was tell me he was lying, to tell me that I still ha
