All Chapters of The Billionaire's Secret Daughter: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ANDREAI was in a daze as I walked into the hotel, and stumbled into my suite. I was relieved when I saw Diane and Sandra weren't in, meaning they were still in the playground.At least I have some time to myself to gather my thoughts. How could I have let this happen? How did the stranger from seven years ago happen to be Julian Rhodes, my Ex-Fiance cousin.What in the name of coincidences was this? What am I supposed to do now, about my official assignment?“I can't stay here,” I continued pacing around the suite. I can't keep living in this hotel, especially considering the fact that he owns the place.What if he ran into Diane and I? What if he takes one look at her, and realizes she's his daughter?“Noway. I can't let that happen,” I thought. I was beginning to panic as I picked up my phone to call Sandra.“Return to the suite with Diane at once,” I ordered, sounding harsher than I meant.As I continued to pace around the suite waiting for my daughter, I thought about giving my

ANDREA“Andrea? It's really you,” my Tia, Patricia said as I opened the door of my hotel suite, and looked at surprised.She immediately pulled me into her embrace.“I couldn't believe it when the receptionist said my Aunt was here to see me,” I said, relaxing in her embrace.Although Veronica had betrayed me, and I harbor a lot of resentment towards her, Patricia has always been a good Aunt to me, despite not related by blood, and I love her so much.After we pulled apart, my Aunt looked me over. “You have changed a lot, Andy,” she said, stepping inside while I held the door for her to come in.I grinned. “It has been been over seven years after all,” I replied as we settled into the living area of the suite.“How did you know I was back, and staying here?” I asked, curiously, even though a part of me could already tell it was Marcus.“Good news fly fast,” she said, and then looked at me with interest. “Don't tell me you didn't want us to know you were in the country and you weren'

ANDREA“Oh please,” I scoffed, trying to regain some of my confidence, and act like it.“You can't say you are doing something to punish and reward me at the same time,” I said.“If I don't attach this condition, someone else from your company will be asked to take your place. But now, you will be the only one with access to me.”“Everyone will wonder what you said and did to convince me. So, what's it going to be? Are you going to accept my condition or reject it and risk not getting the promotion or worse losing your job?” He asked, and I eyed him suspiciously.“How did you know my promotion was tied to this assignment?” I asked, and Julian smile widened.“I have my sources, Andy,” he said, and I glared at me with displeasure.Neither of us said a word as I weighed my options. I hated the idea of being at his mercy, but I can't afford to jeopardize my career.I have already given my consent to Rebecca, and was only here to get answers so I would know how better to handle him.“So, w

ANDREA “Tia?!” I yelled again, alerting the driver. “Do you need help, ma'am?” He asked, I shook my head with a sigh. “No, thanks,” I said, and then I heard Tia's voice. “Andrea,” she called out, and I placed the phone back on my ears. “Where did you go?” I asked. “You were pretty silent after my question.” “I needed to get away from your Tio,” she said and I sighed in relief. “So, you haven't told anyone?” I asked. “No, I was hoping to tell them during dinner. Why?” She said, and I let out a sigh of relief. “It's just that I need you to keep Diane a secret for now. I don't want Tio or Veronica to know about her just yet.” There was a brief pause on the other side before Tia spoke again. Her voice was firm, but soft. “If that's what you want Andrea. But you'll have to tell your Tio about his granddaughter eventually, especially if you are going to bring Diane to the party.” I sighed as I glanced out the windows at the passing buildings, trying to gather my thou

ANDREA I stared at Julian, my heart pounding in my chest. Recovering quickly from the initial shock, my hands moved involuntarily to the front of my bathrobe and I held it tightly together. "What are you doing here? What do you want?" Julian's grin widened. "May I come in?" His eyes glinted mischievously. "You can either let me in, or we can stand here with you dressed in your bathrobe for everyone to see and speculate about our relationship." My eyes darted to the corridor. The last thing I needed was gossip. Reluctantly, I stepped aside. "Fine, come in." Julian stepped into the room, his presence filling the space. I closed the door behind him, my mind racing. Julian shouldn't be here. What if Diane returned now? I needed to think fast. "Excuse me for a moment," I said, walking into the bedroom. I quickly grabbed my phone and sent a text to Sandra, asking her to keep Diane out for a while longer. Hearing movement behind me, I turned to see Julian approaching and I
