All Chapters of A Billionaire's Tale: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The golden-brown-haired lady walked into the office with two large brown envelopes in her hands. She took quick steps to the table of the expecting older man.She placed the envelopes on the table, and they both began bringing out the files that were inside as they skimmed through each of them.Her legs felt wobbly from standing too long, so she took her seat on one of the chairs facing the older man. She adjusts her skirt and puts her hair in a ponytail.After a moment the man asked. “Joan, anything yet?” His eyes were on her, expecting a response.Joan looked up from the file she was holding and shook her head with a little furrow on her brow. “Nothing yet, Dad,” she answered and went back to looking at the file.Her dad sighs.“Let’s keep looking, there could be something that we could find that would get us out of this mess,” he encouraged, and they kept looking through the remaining untouched files.A knock was heard.“Come in,” Gary answered, loud enough for the person knocking t

Santiago knocked on the door and entered his dad’s office when he heard a faint ‘come in.’ His dad was engrossed in looking over the documents in front of him on the table.He walked closer to the table and sat down in front of his dad as he waited for him to state his reason for calling him.Julian was still going over some papers when he spoke. “You asked for my presence.”“Yes, I did.” Julian briefly looked up from arranging the files on his table. "There is a very important matter I want to discuss with you." He stacked the document on the side of his table, then entwined his fingers while looking straight at Santiago. "It's about your future,” Julian continued.Santiago didn't need his father to spell the words out because he knew this talk all too well. It was too familiar."Dad—" Julian raised a finger to silence him."I don't have to keep going over this with you," he pointed between them. "We've gone through this over and over, and I think I am tired of saying the same thing."

Laughter from both older men surrounds the entire room. They were sitting in Julian’s office as they drink a bottle of wine with some sugar-free snack Francisca had made for Julian.They were talking about their youthful days and the times they spent as brothers in university. It was a fun-filled memory and they enjoyed every bit of their conversation.“Yeah, I was so scared that she might blow it all up so I decided to get the chancellor involved to at least save my neck” Julian chuckled.“I couldn’t blame her for harboring such feelings towards you” Gary shook his head “You hurt her big time, if you want to be true to yourself” he pointed.Julian shrugged then leaned back on the couch to put his legs on the small table in front of them.“I always make it clear what my intentions are”“Yes, you do,” Gary rolled his eyes.Julian poured some more wine into their cups and settled back as he looked at his friend who looked like he was in distress, even the laugh they had seconds ago could

“And you have a big pouty mouth” she said back. “I don’t,” he defends with a frown. “Suit yourself, princess,” she drank her latte and ignored the glare he threw at her. Trying to ignore her remark, he let out deep breaths then shook his head and looked at her. He opened his mouth to say something but what he had in mind to say, flew out of his head and he was drawing on the blank. He still couldn’t place what made him want to stay close to her or just talk to her. Probably her beauty and how simple she looked made him to know more about her, he wanted to know why she wasn’t leading a world-class company instead of waiting tables. He feels like there is more than what is on the surface and he wants to know more about her. “Why are you waiting tables?” he asked and once again she was caught off guard. One customer asked her this question and they became friends, sort of. Now, this annoying pouty-mouth man is asking her the same question. Why was he interested to know? He looked we

Hours after he went to visit Mateo, Pricilla, and her daughter’s grave, he took a week's holiday off from work and all the drama happening around him. The pressure his dad has been putting him through coupled with the anxiety of Joan not calling to take the offer was taking a deep toll on him. He needed a way to just stay in a place that somehow gave him peace, a place where he could forget himself and just forget about the world and all the problems it brings. The one place that he and his late brother come to whenever they take those little trips. The place was located inside a garden in Madrid, Mateo was the first person to discover the place when they were still young teenage boys. At that time, they were living in between Madrid during holidays and the USA during school days. He was feeling so down, and since his brother’s death anniversary was coming soon, it’s even more depressing for him. This period is often the most difficult time of the year for him and the pressure he is
