Novel & Cerita A Billionaire's Secret Five

Black suit, ruthless jawline, eyes so dark they seemed to pierce the camera itself. The caption beneath his name made my stomach twist violently: Lucian Backwood. CEO. Heir to Backwood Enterprises. The man I’d given myself to in a haze of grief and alcohol wasn’t some anonymous mistake. He was one of the most powerful men in New York. “No,” My voice broke as I stumbled back, pressing my hand over my mouth. “No, Maya, that’s not possible. It can’t be him.” “It's a fact.” Maya’s voice was iron. “I triple-checked. And guess what? He’s not just anyone. That man is Lucian Backwood, billionaire, golden boy of the corporate world.” Her eyes locked onto mine. “And the father of your child.”

I questioned him again and he laughed before replying to me. “I have something, but I need to be sure before giving the information to you”. He replies. “Fine, I need something as soon as possible”. I replied. “While you're at it I need you to add someone to the list”. I added. “That would cost you an extra five million”. he replied. “What?” But I gave you five million a few days ago. I yelled. “Yes You did, but that was for Mr Baxter. he laughed. “Fine, give me till tomorrow”. I said and hung up before sending him Arya's picture.

A smirk appeared on his face, looking directly at Travis, only if Lawrence knew what was about to happen. "500,000 going, 1, 2—" "One million dollars." Alexander suddenly raised his place card, and the hall became silent. Everyone, including Hilda, turned to look at him in surprise. Even Anita was surprised; her heart suddenly started beating. "Does that mean Alexander was interested in me all along? Why pretend and play hard to get?" Anita thought to herself. After the auction, the reporters gathered around Alex, asking why he bought that item for such an amount.

Figueroa almost fell from his seat and was able to understand what was stated in the bank book and documents, especially the name of the account holder. Jedizon and Zandrex looked at the reaction they saw in the CEO but didn't ask. Mr. Figueroa immediately absorbed the hot chocolate as he typed John Dave's name into his desktop computer in front of his desk. Two words wanted to escape from the mouth of Mr. Figueroa regarding John Dave and this is the, "secret billionaire." Mr. Figueroa passed the files to Jedizon to finish it and the hard copies to Zandrex to photocopy for the copy for John Dave.

My body sagged, knees weak. Mia rushed to my side, eyes wide. “Amara, do you even know who that was?” “Some arrogant jerk?” Her jaw dropped. “That was Damian Cruz. The billionaire.” My stomach flipped. My entire life flashed before my eyes. Billionaire? Damian Cruz? As in Cruz Holdings—the man who owned skyscrapers, shipping lines, hotels? Perfect. Just perfect. I hadn’t just ruined someone’s morning. I’d ruined a billionaire’s suit. And maybe my life along with it.

That’s when my phone lit up with a transfer alert. $500,000. Narration: Just Because. And just like that, I had bagged a billionaire.

Sandra’s POV “What?!” I gasped unbelievably at my father and stumbled backward as the word hit me right in my heart. “You heard him right. You cannot stay here. I cannot bring in my first daughter that the nation knows got married to the popular billionaire, Brian Fenandro. Have you ever thought this through?” My mother's angry voice filled the air as she glared at me in displeasure. “You cannot be a disgrace to me or this family,” She spat out and I gasped.

She closed her eyes, trying to find some comfort in the silence of their living room. “Ruby, I forgot to ask, what’s his name” Naomi asked out of curiosity cutting through Ruby’s thought “Stephan Rodriguez” Ruby replied nonchalantly “Hold on, Ruby please tell me your Stephan isn’t the same Stephan the popular business mogul,” Naomi asked “Well from what I found out, he is the same person, the heir to the Grand Empire” Ruby replied Naomi took out her phone and quickly typed in “Stephan Rodriguez” turning her phone to Ruby “Is this your mystery man” Naomi asked showing Ruby a picture of Stephan from the internet

"Where did you take Zara? Where is she?" The bodyguard, nearly thrown off by Trevor, just punched him in the stomach. Trevor bent over in pain. Yosef scrunched his eyebrows and stood over him. "Where's the 45 billion dollars?" Trevor stubbornly kept his lips sealed. "I've told you I don't know. I don't know anything about the 45 billion dollars! I don't even have 450 dollars to my name, so how could I have 45 billion? "If I had 45 billion dollars, I'd be living the high life, not stuck in some rundown old shack! If I had 45 billion dollars, would I be scraping by?"

“I’m just saying, being with a billionaire doesn’t sound half bad. Just think about it, no more rent, no more bills. Designer bags? Check. Travel around the world? Check. I’d retire at thirty-five and live the dream.” I rolled my eyes with a soft chuckle, then turned my attention to the screen. The news was still replaying Landon Pierce’s accusations, and the words “Who is the Secret Philanthropist?” scrolled across the bottom. I tilted my head slightly as I watched. “Well, whoever it is,” I said finally, my voice thoughtful, “I guess the person just wants to stay hidden. Not everyone likes the spotlight, you know?”
