All Chapters of The Missing Billionaire (ENGLISH): Chapter 41 - Chapter 49

I’ve been silent for a while now, staring at the mirror, but suddenly I found myself smiling for no apparent reason. I don’t know why, but it all started after I cut Louie’s hair.Yes, I cut his hair because it had grown too long.I noticed it while we were eating dinner earlier. His hair was almost covering his eyes, but he still looked handsome to me.Huh? What did I say?But we almost argued earlier because he didn’t trust my ability."Are you sure you know how to do it?" he asked, but there was a hint of doubt in his voice.I chuckled a little at what he said, but I nodded in response and smiled sweetly at him. I showed him full confidence so he wouldn’t regret the outcome of his haircut."Yes, I’ve already told you several times earlier. Just trust me, will you? If you hadn’t asked, cutting hair is actually one of my hidden talents. So, just trust me," I said proudly, but I still noticed the hesitation on his face.I suddenly frowned at him because of it. He wasn’t looking at me,

"Kuya..."He only looked at me when I called him, but his eyes kept shifting back to Louie, who was now standing behind me.Now I’m scared to introduce Louie to him—what more if Dad shows up?“Hmm? Uh, I’m glad you made it. I’m really happy you came,” he said, then pulled me into a tight hug.I returned his hug, then handed him the gift I bought once he pulled away from our embrace.I smiled at him. “Happy birthday, Kuya. I hope you’ll like it,” I said, and he immediately took it from me and thanked me.“Thank you, Erina. I’ll open this later.”I think this is the right time to introduce Louie to him.I gathered my courage before turning to Louie and gently taking his hand. I led him closer to Kuya, who was now staring at him intensely."Umm, Kuya, everyone... I’d like to introduce him to you. This is Louie, m-my boyfriend. Louie, this is my brother Erick, and the rest are my relatives," I said hesitantly.I looked at all of them—they were all smiling, except for Kuya, whose gaze towa

“Ugh, your brother’s party is so boring,” Faye said lifelessly as she sat beside me.Good thing we weren’t seated at the same table as Kuya Erick. That was my choice, because I didn’t want to sit at the same table as my father.I let out a small laugh at what she said, but I noticed the same thing. Light background music, drinking, and guests each engaged in their own conversations, but all just about business. This wasn’t new to me, because ever since I was a child, this is exactly how parties always went.Almost all of the guests my older brother invited were from the business world, so the party felt dull and not enjoyable. That’s why I just wanted to go home and rest at my apartment.“That’s why I was having second thoughts about coming, because I knew this is exactly how it would turn out. But if it weren’t for you, if you didn’t come, I wouldn’t have come either,” Faye said again, but the boredom was now obvious in her voice.“It’s like it’s my fault now, huh,” I said with a lau

It was already three in the afternoon, and I decided to leave for a while to meet up with Faye. Louie didn’t allow me to go out because of what happened to me last night, but I insisted, and he had no choice but to let me. So I quickly got dressed and left the apartment earlier before he could change his mind.I still haven’t opened the package that arrived earlier, but I found out who it came from. It was from Mommy’s sister in Germany. She couldn’t come yesterday because she was busy with work and had no one to look after her child—my niece. I have no idea what’s inside the package, but I think everything in it is for me.“It’s good you finally arrived. I’ve been waiting here for a while,” I said, but there was a hint of annoyance in my voice.I just planned to tease her a bit so she’d feel guilty for making me wait so long, and so I could get a free snack from her.Clever of me, right?“Sorry if I’m late, we had a group meeting earlier for the reporting,” she replied, before sittin

"Erina, what's wrong?""Son of a—" I exclaimed in surprise when someone suddenly spoke behind me and Aunt Helen. I quickly turned to face him, one hand clutching my chest.It wasn’t just me who was startled, Aunt Helen was surprised too. This guy is so annoying, always speaking out of nowhere."I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you," he apologized, but I didn’t respond and just stared at him. I slowly lowered my hand and let out a deep sigh."It’s nothing, dear... it’s alright," said Tiya Helen, before smiling at him. "Erina and I were just talking for a bit. Well then, I’ll get going," she added, but suddenly stepped closer to whisper in my ear."Take care, Erina," she said, then immediately left.I know what she’s trying to tell me. It’s a good thing I found out, so I’ll be extra careful from now on. Ugh, I don’t know, but I suddenly felt nervous because of what Aunt Helen said about that car."Erina.."Gosh, I suddenly forgot—Louie is still right in front of me."Are you okay?" h
